WASHINGTON, March 26-The lard hearing
was resumed before the house committee
on agriculture Saturday. Representative
OF Fairbanks & Co., testifying at length, de
Tended the refined lard as a pure, whole
some food product. Prime steam lard has
been shown to be so vulnerable that further
attacks upon it become unnecessary to
prove its inferiOriUy when compared with
refined lard. William Bartle, an eX-paclIer
of St Louis, continued his testimony He
repeated the statement that in the most of
packing houses smOthered hogs, pregnant
SOWs, and hogs suffering with cholera were
used indiscriminaUely with good hogs TO
make prime steam lard He thought the
investigation ought TO show from what re-
fined lard is made, owing to the prevalence
OF disease among hogs. He could not pur-
sue the business longer and deal honestly.
When he was in the business he necessarily
packed cholera hogs because they were
mixed with other hogs. He had cut the
hogs into hams, etc, knowing them to be
diseased, Just as every other packer did
though meat of the cholera hog was not
poisonous. One of the crying evils of the
times was the shipping OF diseased hogs
and pregnant SOWS to the market by the
farmers. He was in favor of a law which
would prevent the packer from using
cholera hogs
WASHINGTON, March 27.-The house today
adopted a resolution of the committee on
elections in the contested election case of
WorthingtOn VS.. Post, from the Tenth Hi
nois district The resolution confirms the
,P
seat
a number of measures We're reported
from the committee, among them a bill to
provide for ascertaining the propriety and
feasibility Of constructing gulf and lake
waterway; also for the election of senators
by the legal voters of the state.
The military academy appropriation bill
was passed, and the general public land
bill called up.
An amendment by Smith of Wisconsin,
providing that all deposits OF coal and iron
shall be reserved to the United States, and
no further grants or patents held to include
such deposits, was left pending.
FELTON, of California moved TO amend by
striking out United States and permitting
any person who has declared his intention
to become citizen to enter upon the public
lands.
Nelson of Minnesota approved the motion.
He was out of patience with the sentiment
alism which had grown up since the an
archists had made the little raid in Chicago.
The policemen who had been shot down
and the sheriff who hanged the men had
also been foreigners. He was tired of the
maudlin sentimentality which would revO-
luUiOniZe everything because a few crazy
Iunatics took the course they did Chicago
had had something worse than those luna
tics. 1t had had Carter Harrison, who had
nursed them and made them believe they
could do ANYTHING except to be respectful
to the American flag. The motion was lost
PaysOn of Illinois offered an amendment
providing that no patent to mineral lands
shall issue except to citizens of the United
States
Pending action the house adjourned
