WITH VERY FEW AMENDMENTS Debate on Revenue Cutter Bill Re sumed Senators Bailey and Dc nciv Continue the Discussion of Oleomargarine. WASHINGTON. April 2. The House to day passed the sundry civil appropriation bill. This is the eighth of the regular annual supply bills which has passed at this session. Only a few unimportant amendments were attached to it. After it was disposed of, debate on the reve-jiue-cutter bill was resumed. Sulzer (Dem. N. Y.). Bellamy (Dem. N. C), Ryan (Dem. N. Y.), Lcssler (Dem. N. Y.) and Goldfogle (Dem. N. Y.) spoke for the measure, and Loud (Rep. Cal. and Crum packer (Rep. Ind.) against it Discussion of the oleomargarine bill in the Senate today was relieved by two or three bright colloquies between Senators. Bailey (Dem, Tex.) concluded his speech begun yesterday In opposition to the meas ure, occupying most of the time devoted by the Senate to the bill's consideration. His argument was brilliant and at times eloquent, and attracted the careful atten tion of Senators on both sides of the chamber and of the occupants of the crowded galleries. He as followed by Depew of New York In a bright and witty ppeech in support of the measure. Depew matched his wit with that of Bailey on the subject of the American glri, and the sallies of the two Senators were greeted with shouts of laughter, both en the floor and In the galleries. The Texan's keen reference to the recent marriage of Depew was most happily fenced by the New York Senator in his reference to the love and admiration excited in woman by "the youth and beauty" of Bailey. THE DAY IX DETAIL. Pinal Debute on and Passage of Sun dry Civil Bill in House. WASHINGTON. April 2. The House- to day proceeded with the consideration of the sundry civil appropriation bill. The Hems relating to National parks led to fume discussion, during which Parker (Rep. N. J.) raiEcd a point of order that this subject was properly under Jurisdic tion of the military affairs committee. The point of order was sustained, where upon Cannon offered the following pro vision applying to the appropriations of National Park Commissions, and it was adopted: "No portion of the foregoing sums for National parks shall be used during the fiscal year 1903 for the payment of more than one Commissioner for service in con nection with each of said parks under the direction of the Secretary of War, cor shall more than 10 per cent of the sums for either of said parks be expend ed for the salaries of clerks or for other employes." The appropriation for the defense of Xruits before the Spanish Treaty Claims Commission wa increased, on motion of Cannon, from SG0.000 to J112.0W. Without further amendment the bill was passed. The House then resumed consideration of the Senate bill to promote the efficiency of the revenue-cutter service, which was Interrupted when the sundry civil bill was taken' up. Sulzer (Dem. N. Y.). Adamson (Dem. Ga.) and Bellamy (Dem. N. C.) favored! tne bill. Loud (Rep. Cal.i said he was op posed on principle to retirement with pay of employes of the "Government. Had he been a member of Congress when the law was enacted for the retirement of Naval or Ajrmy officers, he would have antag onized it. After some further debate by Crum packer ?lep. Ind.) against the bill, and Ryan (Dem. N. Y.) and Goldfogle (Dem. N. Y.) in fa-or of it, the House at 4:55 P. II. adjourned. In the Senate. When routine businc had been con cluded in the Senate today, consideration of bills on the calendar was begun and the following were passed: For the relief of 'John L. Smithmeyer and Paul J. Pelz, in connection with the plans for the Congressional Library Building; authorizing the appointment of John Russell Bartlett as a Rear-Admiral on the retired list of the Navy; providing for the issuance of a patent' to the town of Basin City, Wyo., to the municipal authorities foi the use and benefit of said town; authorizing the President to issue to A. W. Huntley a certificate of honor able discharge; authorizing the Secretary of War to deliver old pieces of ordnance to the Indian War Veterans: to extend the time for presentation of claims to re imburse the Governors of states and terri tories for expenses- incurred by them In aiding the United States to raise and or ganize an Army in the war with Spain to January 1, 1903; granting land near Salt Lake, Utah, for a miners' home. Consideration was then resumed of the oleomargarine bill, Bailey continuing his speech begun yesterday. He referred to the testimony of scientific experts, who had testified that oleomargarine was nu tritious, wholesome and healthful, and to a decision of the United States Su preme Court holding to the same effect. Bailey conceded the right of Congress to enact the nrooosed bill as a revenue meas ure, and every1 Senator who supported the measure to raise revenue was entirely within his conscience and his oath of of fice, but if any Senator should vote for it to suppress the oleomargarine Industry, he would "do violence to his sense of duty and to his obligations of office.' He declared that the purpose of the bill was not to raise revenue, and in support of his assertion quoted the statements of the principal opponents of the pending measure. "I undertake to say." said he. "that there is not a man In this chamber who either intends or expects to raise revenue by this measure." He maintained that the pending bill contains a palpable, and. even a wicked, violation of the Constitution in the placing of a tax on an article manufactured and sold within a state. Bailey sharply ar raigned the creameries and cheese fac tories of the country, the former of which, he said, was the real backer of the legis lation proposed. He could understand, he 6aid, the Republican policy of protection of industries, but this new policy to legis late for the destruction of industries was entirely Incomprehensible to him. In the pending measure, Bailey said, in conclu sion, the majority of Congress was en deavoring to settle a contention among competing manufacturers. Depew followed Bailey in support of the bill. He said he never had heard a speech which had so fire&Jiis fancy, so appealed to his Imagination and had had so little effect on his judgment as that of Bailey. He had been taught that competition was the life of trade, but competition ought to be honest. If a merchant deceived his customers by foisting on them a fraud, he believed that man ought to be reached by law. because every manl when he pur chased an article, had a right to get what he paid for. In the course of his brief speech, Depew referring to an allusion made by Bailey, said that the American girl had been put In a wrong position before the people of the United States. "I forgot at the moment," Interjected Bailey, "a recent occurrence in the life of the Senator from New York, or I should not have made the allusion." (Laughter.) "And but for that occurrence," retorted Depew, laughing as he spoke, "I should have left a younger man to come to the defense of the American girl. It was the Senator's" youth and beauty (Great' lugh ter) which astonished me when he made that remark. If he had been soured and disappointed in love, or if the sex had treated him in some way that would lead to -remarks about it like that, I should have understood him. But no one can meet the Senator, no one can see him so cially or In his grave and dignified posi tion, no one can see his photograph on Pennsylvania avenue without v recognising that his geniality, his happiness, his elo quence have come because the American girl ha? admired him and loved him. (Long-continued laughter.) And he never ought to have gone back on her today by saying she la a fraudulent specimen of living oleomargarine." (Laughter.) At tho conclusion of Depew's remarks Bailey and Spooner became Involved ina colloquy as to some legal phases of the bill. "Will the Senator from Wisconsin say," inquired Bailey, "that the object of the bill Is to raise revenue?" "I say that the object of this bill Is to raise revenue,'' replied Spooner. "In other words. I say that in the exercise' of the discretion which the Constitution gives us, we select this article as an object of taxa tion." "But Is It" the raising of revenue "the paramount -object?" inquired Stewart. "It is the primary object," replied Spooner. "But not the paramount object?" per sisted the Nevada Senator. V An amusing colloquoy then followed be tween the two Senators as to tho mcan lning of the words "paramount" and "pri mary." The Senate at 4:55 P. M. went into ex ecutive 'session, and at 5:10 P. M. adjourned. PURE FOOD BILLS. Reports on Honue and Senate Meas ures Presented. WASHINGTON, April 2. The majority and minority reports en the Hepburn pure food bill were presented to the House to day. The majority report says that the mcaeure represents the views of all per sons and va?floclatIons seeking pure food legislation.

The measure, the re port adds, is in no sense paternalistic, but merely protective, the same as the laws against counterfeiting and forgery.
