KLE,

SOME SARCASM SAID

House Orators Indulge Therein Discussing the Bill for Meat Inspection. IT IS SENT TO A CONFERENCE Wadsworth and Williams Do Most of the Talking. both of Them Refer to the Dispute with the President-Williams Pays Tribute to Wadsworth's Honesty. Washington, June 20.-"I move to suspend the rules, discharge the com mittee of the whole house on the state of the Union from the consideration of the senate amendments to the agriappropriation bill, disagree to all the amendments except No. 29 [the meat inspection amendment], to conin amendment No. 29 with the amendment recommended by the com mittee on agriculture, and ask for a conference with the senate on the disvotes." Interest was shown in every part of the house when Wadsworth made the foregoing motion. After Wadsworth had de clined to extend the debate 100 per cent, the reading of the meat inspecamendment was begun, nearly ev ery member present following the readwith bill in hand. Did He Allude to Roosevelt? Olmsted called attention to the clause requiring, for shipment, that every carmust be labeled, and the one ex cepting carcasses from farmer butchand wanted to know whether they harmonized. Wadsworth replied that the common carrier need not inquire. He knows when a farmer gives him a carcass for shipment that the inspec tion feature of the amendment is waived. Wadsworth then facetiously took up small changes in the verbiage, inadvertently saying "They inserted" in one or two cases, but amid laughter changing the statement to "We insert"If it soothes the feelings of cerindividuals I am perfectly willing that they all shall go in," said he. That Court Review Clause. Continuing Wadsworth said: "The paragraph in the original senate amend ment made the judgment of the secreof agriculture mandatory and final. That clearly was unwise and injudicious, if not unconstitutional, and the committee, in order to make matentirely fair and just inserted in the bill a clause giving the right to the courts. The clause was entirely eliminated, but the packers and slaughin Chicago, if they consider any of the rights of their property are inin any way by the operations of this law, can invoke the jurisdiction of a United States judge in Chicago; and I know of no difference between the honesty and integrity of a United States judge in Chicago and the honand integrity of a United States judge in St. Louis, Kansas City, Fort Worth, St. Joseph, or any other place where these slaughtering and canning establishments are located." [Applause. WILLIAMS IS SEMI-HUMORUS Also "Sarkastikul"-He Compliments Wadsworth of New York. Williams of Mississippi enlivened the debate by calling attention to the difof opinion between two sons of New York (the president and Wads"Now is the winter of our discontent made glorious summer by this son of New York," said Williams, which caught the humor of the house. In a semi-humorous vein Williams said that the house could do nothing but vote the bill up or down because it had been formulated by the president and speaker. There had been some "thundering at the index" at "the othend of the line," but it had subbecause "men of iron, like other products of iron, are subject to expanand contraction by the effect of the weather." [Applause and laughter. he then regretted that the packers had not been made to pay the expense of inspection, because, in his opinion, they were the evildoers who made innecessary; and he thought that Wadsworth was mistaken in not thinking the same way. He added: "There has been some muck-raking in which there has been a disposition to charge all sorts of wrong: motive upon the gentleman from New York [Wadsworth,] the chairman of the commit tee on agriculture. I served with him for eight or ten years upon a commit tee of this house. I have known him to cast more votes against his own inthan any man in. this house. [Applause.] He is a worthy son of a noble sire [applause] and an honest man. If God makes honest men [ap plause]-and I believe he does. "If the abbreviated disturbance bethe two gentlemen from New had come off my reasoning would have been with the other gentleman from New York, but my affections and feelings would have been with this gentleman from New York. [Applause. I think we have had entirely too much, anyhow, too much tolerance for the idea that whenever men honestly differ about a public measure their motives are to be impugned and their intergrity to be attacked." [Applause. After remarks by DeArmond and Adams of Wisconsin Wadsworth's mowas agreed to, conferrees were appointed and the bill was forwarded

to the senate, where it was ordered printed and to lie on the table.

TROUBLE ON THE RATE BILL Three Amendments Are the Difficulin the "Way. Washington, June 20.-From present indications the conferrees on the railrate bill will not reach an agreeuntil some time next week, which in all probability will be the last week of the session. The purpose of withtheir report, it is said. is to avoid a repetition of the long debate in the senate which followed the rereport of the conferrees. There are only three amendments that are giving trouble. These are the pipe line amendment, which makes pipe lines common carriers; the comamendment, and that which rethat the interstate commerce commission shall be given five days' notice before hearings are granted upapplications for injunctions setting aside orders of the commission. A change in the commodity amendment would, it is thought, settle the matter for the two first. The change sugwould provide that railroads, instead of "common carriers" shall not engage in carrying commodities which they produce. Strong protests have been filed with the conferrees showing that if this amendment is adopted it will ruin a number of small roads which were built for the sole purpose of getting lumber to trunk lines. A new argument has been advanced against the government requiring that five days' notice be given of hearings for injunctions. Labor organizations have demanded that a bill be passed which would require that they be given five days' notice of injunctions t restrain them from engaging in strikes. This is a political argument which has given much concern, and the house conduring recent sessions have inthat this amendment be eliminfor the reason that it would esa precedent for similar legisin the interests of labor. The anti-pass amendment is in disbut it Is said that an agreement concerning it can be reached by rethe amendment so as to promerely that passes shall not be isto members of congress, officials of the executive departments, presielectors and other classes over which the federal government admithas control. Senate and House in Brief. Washington, June 20.-Knox adthe senate at length in supof the lock type for the Panama canal. The agricultural appropriation bill containing the meat inspection prowas received from the house and ordered printed. A bill was passed giving obsolete arms to Vincennes (Ind.) university. An executive session was held. The house adopted the substitute amendment for the Beveridge amendto the agricultural appropriation bill relating to meat inspection, and sent it to conference. Then it passed bills regulating the immunity of witin government cases; permitting St. Louis to erect a free bridge across the Mississippi river; establishing a naval militia; granting condemned canfor a statue to Governor Mason, of Michigan-and many other bills that were not objected to. Cromwell Wouldn't Answer. Washington, June 20.-Because to reply to the questions asked of him by Morgan in the senate investigation of Panama canal affairs would, as he says, involve confidential relations with his client, the New Panama Canal company, William Nelson Cromwell dethe senate's order that he answer these questions, and didn't appear a bit afraid of anything the senate might conclude to do about it. Berwind Before the Inquisitors. Washington, June 20.-The intercommerce commission resumed its investigation into the question of ownership by railroad companies or their officers or employes, of coal and oil stocks or properties, as called for by the Tillman-Gillespie resolution. The principal witness was E. J. BerHe testified to nothing sensaChaplain is for the Canteen. Washington, June 20- A letter was read in the house by Tawney of Minnesota from the chaplain of the Old Soldiers' Home at Togus, Me., opposthe abolishment of the canteen on the ground that old soldiers would not change their habits and they would obtain liquor elsewhere. Is This a Characteric Case? St. Petersburg, June 20.-A curious incident is related at Minsk, where GovKurloff. whose trial for inciting the November excesses was urged by Delegate Arakantseff in the lower house of the parliament, has been thanked by a delegation of Jews for measures instituted by him to prevent an outbreak. Where Taxes Are Unknown. Orsa, in Sweden, has in the course of a generation sold $5,750,000 worth of trees and by means of judicious rehas provided for a similar inevery thirty or forty years. In consequence of the development of this commercial wealth there are no taxes. Railways and telephones are free and so are the schoolhouses, teaching and many other things. Worth Knowing.

JUSTICE IN A SPRINT

Blind Goddess Does a Job Against Time for Kean and Wins Dead Easy. CHILD STEALER IS IN PRISON Sentence for Kidnaping Freddie Muth Is Twenty Years-Only 210 Minutes from Arraign ment to the Pen. Philadelphia, June 20.-Twenty years of hard labor in solitary confinemeut in the Eastern penitentiary was the sentence pronounced on John Joseph Kean, the abductor of little Freddie Muth. The enormitv of the man's crime, which had aroused the whole city, stirred the officers, of the law to quick action, and the swiftness with which justice moved has never been equalled in this community. Kean fell into the clutches of the law Monday afternoon about the time the courts were closing. No Delay in This Case. Promptly at 10 a. m. yesterday he he was photographed and measured by the Bertillon method. Twenty-five minutes later he had been arraigned before a magistrate and committed to court without bail. The grand jury quickly found a true bill, and at 11:20 a. m. he was in the criminal court awaiting his turn to face Judge Suizberger. Shortly after 12 m. the judge passed sentence upon him, and at 1:30 p. m. the great iron doors of the peniclosed behind him. This Fact Won't Console Him. In his quick trip from liberty to the solitude of Cherry Hill, the institution which Dickens made famous in his "American Notes" by condemning its system of solitary confinement, no friendly hand or voice was raised in the prisoner's behalf. If he behaves himself his sentence, under the law, will be reduced to twelve years and three months. The court had the powto give him a life sentence. Where It Falls Very Hard. Much sympathy is expressed for the wife and three children Kean leaves without means of support. Mrs. Kean is prostrated by the shock and disthat the abduction has brought upon the family. She will break up her home here and remove to New York, where she has relatives. JUST WHAT WE THOUGHT But It Seems to Contain About All the Letters in the United States Alphabet. New York, June 20.-Hexamethylen-does not contain alcohol. Judge Platt, in the United States circuit court, has decided this for the benefit of an importer. The question caused the customs authorities a good deal of trouble. They said they did not know just what the stuff was. It comes from Germany. Collector Stranahan was convinced that hexmethylentetrami contained aland he demanded duty on the basis of 55 cents a pound. Hexamethylentetrami also is known as urotroaminoform, uritone and formin. Eight-Hour Day in Massachusetts. Boston, June 20.-The senate has passed to be engrossed a bill providing that eight hours shall constitute a working day for a public employe. An amendment to strike out the provision which prevents a man working more than eight hours if he so desires was adopted 20 to 12, after considerable opposition. Primary Election in North Dakota. Grand Forks, N. D., June 20.-The first primary eelction in North Dakota under the new law was held yesterday.
