EIGHTH SUPPLY BILL
HousePasses theSundry Civil
Appropriation Act.
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 report pays the ncessity
of such action is shown by the vast num
ber of ndulteratidns and debasements on
the market, moot of them being Imposed
upon poor people. The measure, the re
port adds, is in no sense paternalistic, but
merely protective, the same as the laws
against counterfeiting and forgery.
Adamson, of Georgia, in a direenting re
port, says the founders of the Republic
never Intended that the Federal Govern
ment should prescribe menua and cedes
of table etiquette. He urges that food
regulation should bs left to the states.
Corliss, of Michigan, also dis-scnte, on Ihc
ground that the bill gives arbitrary pov, cr
to fix standards, require labels, etc., and
that uncertainty and confusion will result.
Senator McCumber. from the committee
on manufacture, today reported favor
ably to the Senate the pure food bill in
troduced by Senator Hansbrough "for pre
venting the adulteration, misbranding and
imitation of foods, beverage?, confections,
drugs and condiment in the District of
Columbia and the territories, and for the
regulation of interstate commerce in
them.' The bill provides for the creation
of the division of goods and drugs in the
bureau 'of chemistry In the agricultural
department, and places that division in
charge of the work of Inspection which
io provided for by the bill.
GOVERX3IEXT-BUILT WARSHIPS.
Representatives of Labor at the
House Committee's Hen Hurt.
WASHINGTON. April 2. The plan of
building warships in Government yards
was considered by the House commit
tee on na'al affairs today, a large dele
gation of labor representatives being
present in support of It. The delegation
included James O'Connell. president of
Machinists' Association, and several ship
building experts from Norfolk, Brooklyn
and other points having Government
yards.
Mr. O'Connell made the main presenta
tion, urging that the Government had
millions Invested in plants whJch should
be "used for construction a& well as for
repair of warships. When Representative
Dayton (suggested that Admiral Bowles,
chief of the Naval Bureau of Construc
tion, had stated that he would not rec
ommend the building of ships In Govern
ment yards unless the navy-yard wages
were equalized with those of private
yards, Mr. O'Connell said the Idea of
lower wages could not have been made
seriously, at a time when tho tendencies
were toward higher wages. He argued
that In the lntorest of the public Gov
ernment construction would be beneficial
and that incidentally .the labor Interests
would be much benefited.
Reform of Consular Service.
WASHINGTON, April 2. Representative
Adams, of Pennsylvania, today presented
the report of the House committee on for
eign affairs In favor of tho bill reforming

sular service was organized In 1795, and

cial bodies throughout the country Is set

The following was adopted by the convention as a separate resolution:
"We heartily indorse the International Exposition to be held In Port
land in 1505 to commemorato tho 100th anniversary of the arrival -of the
Lewis and Clark expedition in Oregon, and we favor such an appropria
tion .by the Legislative Assembly of our state as shall be commensurate

sent by President Jefferson across the trackless wilderness to the mouth
of the Columbia River, nearly a century ago, paved the way for the set
tlement of the fur West by Americana, and lafd the foundation for tne
commercial greatness of th!e Nation on the Pacific Ocean, ami it Is emi
nently fitting that their heroic needs should be honored by tho great com
monwealth that has risen in the wake of their Jcmr!.ey. We further
more recommend that the delegations in Congress from Oregon and other
Northwestern States support the Lewis and Clark Centennial and Amer
ican Pacific Exposition and Oriental Fair, to the end that the National
Government shall make an appropriation for an exhibit; and in addition,
invite other nations to participate in tho celebration.
