WASHINGTON, July l7.-Mr. Miller
called up the oleomargarine dill, House
bill defending butter and regulating
the manufacture, sale, importation aud
expectation of oleomargarine, reported
by the committee on agriculture with
out amendment. The bill was read
in full and the question whether the
bill SHOULD be now considered was de-
cided in the affirmative. Yeas, IS;
nays, IL. Beck moved TO refer the
bill TO the committee on finance. Ii
was, he said, tax bill beyond all
controversy. Substitute motion to re-
fer the bill to the committee on finance
was rejected. Yeas, Is; nays, 20. Mr..
Miller advocated the bill. Mr.. Coke
argued against II on the ground that
IL the future use of oleomargarine were
detrimental to public health and
should be discouraged or prohibited,
the question belonged exclusively to
the police power of the several states
and Congress had no power or juris-
diction over IL. Mr.. Palmer spoke in
favor of the bill and Miller said he
would ask vote upon 1t on Monday.
Adjourned.
The House went into committee on
the tortification appropriation bill.
Mr.. Butterworth of Ohio, directed at
tention to what he regarded as gross
remissness of Congress; the bill was
called ''fortiiication" bill, but there
was nothing in it except its title which
could possibly suggest that II had any
mission to provide for coast defence.
This country had under the range of
hostile nations five billion dollars
worth of property. and yet, to meet
the emergency Of providing to protect
these great interests, the committee on
appropriations had appropriated the
magnificent sum Of 500, 900; he weut
on with words Of high admiration to
read and comment on the letter OF
Samuel j. Tilden to Speaker Carlisle,
on the subjec of coast defensee, and
commended these words of wisdom to
the members ofthe Democratic party.
1T would be the part of prudence, !"
he said, Ito expend surplus revenue
in coast defenses. rather than by doing
away with 10 through reduction of
whiskey tax" At the proper time.
he said, he intended to introduce an
amendment increasing the appropria-
tion made by the bill to S3,O00,0O0.
Mr.. Butterworth then criticised the
attitude of the majority in the
House toward the administration, he
said "that when the President, climb
ing up the ladder which had borne
him TO the top of his fame, became un.
steady on his perch, the only men ;c
uphold the ladder were to be found on
the Republican side of the House and
when he asked for machinery neces
sary to carry on the civil service
bureau, the Democratic side solemnly
voted down the proposition. WhaI
could the country think OF an admin
istration that had come into power
profuse with promises. every one ol
which had been broken in the frs
year of administrations Morrison
of California, as the representative o
the great city of San Francisco, pro
tested against the action Of the com
mittee on appropriations in bringinl
in bill appropriating only $500, 900 In
response To the report of the board ap
pointed to investigate the subject call
ing for an appropriation for the pres
ent year of S2l 100000 to meet tn.
urgent requirements of coast defense
Butterworth offered an amendment
increasing from $500, 900 to So, 5OO, ,OOt
the appropriation for the armament OF
sea coast Qualifications. Rejected.
Mr.. Viele, of New York, moved tC
increase the appropriation o 5000,
0OO. Rejected by vote of 3S to 81
Mr.. Buck, Of Connecticut, raised .
point of order against the clauses ere
ating an officer under whose direction
the appropriation for the armament OF
fortifcations shall be expended and
who shall make Investigations, exper.
iments, etc 1.-THE point of order was
sustained and the clauses left out.
The committee then rose and reported
the bill to the House. Mr.. Randall
moved to reduce the appropriation for
the armament of Notifications from
$780, 900 to 100000. Mr.. Reed, Of
Maine, suggested that there should be
discussion over proposition for went
of confidence In another department
of the government. Pending vote on
the demand for previous question. the
House took recess until 8 o'clock. the
