cOiODng matter. Wnen the distinguished
senator Mr.. Ingalls, was going over it
wonderful qualities be was carried back
70 his boybood days when on general
training days" he used TO see man
standing on a wagon auctioning his bogus
goods or bogus iewelry, or offered 10 the
people some "eiixir OF life" Whether
the senator ever had any experience Of
that kind he (Miller) did not know, but
the senator mad shown great apt
ness for Il. II the senator failed
in his present calling, he could certainly
succeed at that Kind OF work II had 81
ways been shown that cOloring matter
was used In butter Just as salt was and
nobody excT regarded II ss a fraud. The
senator from Kansas usually came to the
capitol with flaming red necktle. Why
not wear one Of the natural color OF the
cocoonl Because the senator admired
some other color, and that was true OF
butter as everything else.
Mr.. Ingalls, said the senator from New
York had seen III In his reply TO descend
into the arena Of personalities. His humor
was very much like the attempt OF hippo
potamus to dance on a slack-rOpe.
(Laughter.) The senator had seen flt -
refer TO his (IngallsD youthful ayocation,
and TO present the spectator OF the coun-
try peddler dealing 10 bogus jewelry aud
elixirs To that he (lngalls) had this re-
mark 70 make, that whatever he might
have done he had never stood before
the senate advocating a measure in
which he had the strongest personal In
terest as the senator from New York had
done. That senator was In the dairy
business, he owned dairy farm, he had
herd OF dairy cattle putting its produce
on the market as the product OF Oakhill or
Oakleaf creamery, aud he used the whole
power Of his official station as senator
and as chairman Of the committee to get
the measure away from the committee TO
which II belonged and refer 1t 10 his own
committee, and he stood on the
door OF the senate after advocating
a measure which has TO increase directly
the profits of his own product. After
Mr.. ingalls, had delivered this sentence
with great emphasis and effect he paused
for several seconds amid the most pro-
found silence He then SAID more
shameful spectacle had never been
presented 10 the American people than
had been presented in regard TO this
measure. In the other house
1t had been under the leader
ship Of the chairman Of commit @
who was himself engaged in the dairy
business, and In this body, that gentle
man was reinforced by the chairman Of
the committee on agriculture (Miller)
who was to profit by the legislation.
Mr.Miller apparently labored under great
excitement as he rose to reply. He de-
MED having referred TO Senator ingalls,
calling in early life, and went on to say
that whether his bill became a law or
not II would not add one farthing TO any
profit he could possibly receive. No
sneefs at the dairy men Of the country,
10 implication that he was actuated by
base and corrupt motives, would close
his mouth. lie appealed from
that Infamous charge 10 his constituents
throughout the great rural districts OF
New Yor2. He left judgment OF the mat
ter 70 them and 70 any man on the floor
OF the senate, who could charge him with
corruption. These were words which
the senator nor any other man would
dare speak TO him outside the senate
chamber. They might shield themselves
behind the constitution and parliament
airy rules, but he would go to his constit-
uents on that base and Infamous charge
and there be would leave 1t.
Mr. Butler closed the debate and the SEN
ate adjourned.
THE HOUSE.
WAsHfNGToN, July l0.--fmmediately
after the reading Of the journal the house
resumed consideration Of the fortified.
ton appropriation bill, the pending
amendment being that offered by Mr.
Randall Of Pennsylvania reducing from
100000 TO 100000 the appropriation
for the armament Of the sea-coast de-
Ne N.N l.
amendment and offered another which
was adopted by unanimous consent, pro-
yidlng that guns, projectles, etc, pur-
chased shall be OF American manu-
fscture. The bill was then passed.
The next business was the considera-
ton OF the senate concurrent resolution
for printing $4,000 copies Of the third an-
nual report OF the clyll-service commits
sion. Agreed to, yeas 1888, nays 46.
Mr.. Cobb Of Indiana from the conference
committee on the bill repeating the pre-.
emtlon, timber culture and desert land
laws, reported complete. Disagreement.
| Mr.. Payson OF Illinois ran over the points
/ OF difference between the houses and was
severe In his condemnation Of the senate
amendment which provides that after the
| proof of the claimant, under the home
/ nN'AA VI laws anu
the insurance Of receivers duplicates,
If 1t shall be proved to the satisfaction Of
the commissioner that fraud has entered
into the title acquired by the claimant
unless 1t shall appear that the land has
been sold or conveyed to q bona fide pur.
CHASER for valuable consideration, the
commissioner shall suspend issuing of
the patent for the same. The provision,
| he regarded, as incentive to
fraud as IL required the commissioner
to issue the patent If the land
had been sold to bona ode purchaser,
even though the original title had been
acquired by fraud.
MIR. Stone Of Missouri also announced
his opposition TO the amendment which
he said spread its protecting wings over
the most hardened land sharks on the
continent. II should be Indignantly re-
jected by the house.
Messrs Perkins and Peters Of Kansas
favored the senate amendment, taking the
