The National Butterine and Oleomarga-

self upon the phenomenal success II has
achieved In so short time In dlsabuslng
the minds Of hundreds Of people who were
blinded by prejudice, simply because they
were ignorant OF the main constituent parts
and the true merits Of butterine. Although
II has been but very short time since their
first exhibit and the article offered for sale
In Washington, Its good reputation and In
creasing Gales have been far In excess Of the
managers most sanguinc expectations. The
writer of this article is representative of
THE CRITIC and is usually hard TO please,
even In the finest gilt-cdge Elgin butter, but
he is constrained to admit since he was
tempted to sample the butterine on ac-
count Of the richness OF Its color and
the scrupulously clean cloths and packages,
which, all together, presented very lus-
cious appearance. The CRITIC reporter
was SO much pleased with the flavor OF the
article, that he has not used any other arti-
Gle In bis family since. Butterine is good
enough substitute for his fastidious taste.
. llousekeepers and others who desire to en-
Joy an article that is as fine as gilt edge
butter at half its cost, should by all means
visit the associations nicely fitted up stalls
in Centre Market, Nos. $40, $50 aud 35l.
Mr.. Henry IL. Henshaw, the afTable mana

constituent parts of the article to all inter

The Business to Come Before Congress
the Coming Week.
WAsHINGToS, April

WAsHrNGTos, April 4.
The business of the Senate is in substan-
TALLY the same condition as at the beginning
Of last week, with the difference that the vote
upon the bill to increase the efficiency Of the
army Is expected or hoped for Monday or
Tuesday. The bill to admit w asington Ter
rit0ry, already somewhat debated, will next
be disposed of, to be succeeded by the inter
state commerce bill and that in turn by the
bankrupty bill. Senator Patt will try to find
opportunity during the week 70 make speech
in favor Of open executive sessions and SEN
ator Van Wyck will watch for a chance to
call up the bill TO tax railroad lands. 1t is
probable that the Indian appropriation bill
and possibly that the pension appropriation
bill will be reported from the committee on
appropriations before the end of the week.
At corresponding date OF the last preceding
long session five of the annual appropriation
bills had passed the House, two h d passed
the Senate committee and one had been sent
to the President. The free coinage bill is a
special order in the House tor Tuesday
Wednesday and Thursday. On the last
mentioned day it is expected that vote will
be reached. 1t consideration will, however,
encounter the opposition of the post office
committee, which will antagonize it with the
post Office appropriation bill. This measure
was shunted off last week to secure free
track for the labor arbitration bill. An effort
will be made tomorrow to pass the Mexican
appropriation bill under suspension of the
rules. Many members are down on the
speakers list for recognition to offer mo-
tions TO take up and pass bills for the erec-
tinn of public buildings. Attempts will also
be made tomorrow to have days set apart fol
the consideration of the bankruptcy bill and
the bill providing for new naval establish
ment.

AN INTERVIEW
With Alexander sullivan on the Irish
Question.

CHICAGO, April 4.
The Times will tomorrow publish the fol-
lowing:
The recent New York dispatches stating
that there is trouble brewing in the irish n A.
ti0nal League, and that impatient Irish "sep-
arationists" threaten to withhold financial aid
from Parnell III case he does not labor for the
actual separation of Ireland from England,
have created no little stir in the local Irish
circles. Alexander Sullivan, who is quoted
in the dispatches as the real head of Irish
sex Xtremists," was seen yesterday By re-
porter for the Times and questioned as to the
probable truth of the report that an agent of
the extremists had interviewed Parnell in the
House of Commons and urged him to adopt
measures looking directly to separation.
Sullivan said he didn't believe that any agent
had been sent to Parnell to make threats o.
Withholding the support from the Irish leader
or demand any change of policy on Parnell'
part,
