AT THE NATIONS CAPITAL
THE PROBABILITIES OF A SPLIT
ON THE WANE.

Personal Consultations Tending to
Make a Compromise Possible at the
Coming Tariff COnference-An Unevent-
full Day in Both Houses-Prespeetive
Rates over Government Telegraph
Wires.
WASHINGTON, March 21.-It has been
agreed to postpone the tariff conference
until the latter part of next week instead
of holding 1t next Tuesday. This is a
hopeful sign. A postponement is really
necessary to prevent the open clash
which would have occurred had the con-
ference been held next Tuesday. The
feeling engendered by recent statements
issuing from both sides, though evidently
tapering off, are still such as would pre-
vent anything like harmony until there
can be more private discussion than
would be possible between now and Tues
day. The pOstpOnement is one result of
talks among the members which have
been going on for the past few days.
These talks have been earnest and, not
only INDUCED in by the leaders of the two
sides, but by all. They are tending to
smooth things over. While it is not pos
sible that Mr. COX's prediction in his
speech yesterday that when the tariff is
taken up in the House the Democrats will
pe eHLlTetl iudfluOuIOuS, VIII prove true,
yet there is every hope that practical
harmony will then prevail. The differing
Democrats all agree that there is nothing
like individual changes of views before
formally deciding what course is best.
wATTERsON AGAIN TO THE FRONT.
Henry Watterson late tonight sent off
another prOnunciamentO on the Demo-
cratic tariff differences. He says that
this is Democratic House and must
stand by the methods of the party. No
man, he admits, can read another out of
the party, but a man may read himself
out. Anyone who bolts a caucus action
reads himself out of the party. Mr.. Wat
terSOn also says that Mr.. Morrison has
been very patient with the protectionists
When Mr.. Carlisle was elected Speaker
on the tariff reform issue, he made
Dir. Morrison Chairman of the Ways and
Means Committee. Then prOtectionists
howled that free trade measure would
be reported from that committee. When
a conservative and moderate bill was
brought in the prOtectionists took it for
weakness, and began their blow and blus-
ter. Mr.. WattersOn also SAYS in tO-nig ight's
dispatch to his paper that the passage of
the Morrison bill may cost the Democracy
the Presidency, but that as 1t Is the policy
OF the party 1t must be persisted in.

true story of their departure from Cuba,
which seems to have been surrounded
with so much mystery, is as follows:
Senior Maria and his father-in-law, Senior
Sanchez, persuaded the others, all of
whom are patriots, that their presence in
Cuba, where they were known to be reyo-
Iutl0nists, was doing the liberal cause
more harm than good and they ought to
leave the island. They agreed to 20 to

with passports for all. Senior Maria
thereupon represented to the government.
that 1t was the purpose of his friends to
leave the country peaceably. He was ac-
cordingly furnished with passports for the
entire party. 1t was decided that they
should be sent to this country in the
Screamer from Caibarien, there being no
line OF steamers thence to San Domingo.
and should sail from here for their desti-
nations. The whole party will sail hence
on tuesday next for San Domingo.

BERLIN, March 2l.-In the Reichstag
to-day the debate upon the proposition TO

for further period was resumed. Herr
Haenall, PrOgressist, advocated refer

moved yesterday by Herr Windthorst.
"lf the law were prolonged" he said, s'lt

the same time il would increase party diff
ferences, and promote the anti-Semitic
movement" For these reasons he urged
the rejection of the measures.
Herr Won kardorOtt spoke in favor Of
the measure, claiming that the interna-
tiOnal character of Social Democracy had
become unmistakable.
Herr SOnneman opposed the law. and
cOntended that il was unjust to persecute
persons for holding and expressing par
ticular opinions. The government. he as
serted, was not entirely free from blame
for the recent dynamite Outrages at Frank.

FOOD ADULTERATIONs.
Hardly MOuthful of Good Butte
Sold in New York State.

Hardly Mouthful of Good Butter
Sold in New York state.
ALBANY, n. Y, March 21.-The Senate
Committee on Public Health, which has
been investigating the adulterations of
food, presented its report to-day. The
committee has discovered alarming whole
sale adulterations of food, which are
dangerous to the consumer, and
which are depreciating property
in the rural districts. The
adulteratiOn of butter by tallow oil, bone
oil and lard oil was found in almost every
town and city in the State and in an
amount which equals half the production
of the natural articles. The imitation is
so fine that often it can only be detected
by chemical analysis. Out Of thirty sam
pies OF alleged butter purchased by lhe
committee in New York only ten were
genuine. No labels to distinguish pure
from bogus butter are displayed as re-
quired by the existing law. Bogus butter
is largely purchased by saloons, boarding
houses and second-class hotels. The
poorer quality of bogus butter sells for
from 20 to 30 cents to labOring men, and
the better grades at 40 or 40 cents.
THE COST, WHERE MADE AND OF WHAT.
The cost of manufacture ranges from y
to Is cents, the average being ii cents.
The manufacture in this State is chiefly
carried on in New York and Brooklyn,
several concerns manufacturing over
100000 pounds each out of fats brought
from the West. from France and from
Italy. The bulk of the bogus butter is
manufactured in the West and sold in
New York, to the detriment of the States
dairy interests. Many dairy farmers have
been driven out Of business in cOnse-
quence. The loss 10 the State is estimated
at IS, 200, 600 yearly. The committee esti-
mates that 40000,000 pounds of the pro-
duct are sold annually in the State, and
the illegitimate business is breaking up
the States export butter trade.
The effect Of the deception in trade is
deleteriOus to business morals. Butter
inc can be sold at Is cents less than
natural butter.
The committee quotes extensively from
the evidence obtained to show the evil
moral. commercial and sanitary effects of
adulteratiOns. The use Of nitric and sui
phuric acids in deOdorizing adulterated
butter is particularly condemned. The
committee recommends the total prohibit
tion, after a given time, of the manufac-
f4Ira md c,Ia Of oil h,rtto,. I,,i
