Unusual Power in Relation to Votes.
LoNDoN, Feb. 29.-Discussion of the new pro-
cedura rules was resumed in the House of
Commons to-day. The rule proposed by w. II.
Smith, empowering the Speaker the Chair
man, at his discretion to take vote of the
House by the simple rising of the members was
taken up. Mr.. Bradlaugh said this rule was
graver than any of the rules yet proposed, be-
cause it affected the rights of the electorate to
know how the members voted. Constituents
would regard the rule attempt to shield
the members from their proper responsibility,
and it would strike blow at Parliament's in
fuence in the country.

Pure and Adulterated Lards.

An Eastern Pork-Packer Testifies Concerning
Pure and Adulterated Lards.
wAsHINGToN Feb, 29-Mr. G. E. Winton, =
pork-packer. of Bridgeport, Conn, appeared be-
fore the Senate committee agriculture this
morning and stated that he understood adnlter-
ated refined lard to be mixture OF pure lard
with cotton-seed oil or beef tallow. The sale of
this mixture affected the trade in pure lard ma
terially. His firm made kettle-rendered lard,
aand during the past year had manufactured
steam lard. The kettle-lard was made in open
kettles. out of the backs and leaves Of hogs;
the steam-lard was made from head and gut fat.
The former sold for 8 cents a pound and
the latter for e cents. The whole head was
used in making steam lard. In reply to ques-
tons by Mr.. Gibson. the witness said that pure
lard was the fat of ths swine, while adulterated
lard was any mixture with this fat He did not
think that steam lard could be considered an
adulterated article. as il was made from the fat
OF swine, and no other substance was used in its
manufacture. OF course, there was difference
in price between the kettle lard and the steam
lard, as the latter contained l or 2 per cent. of
water, while kettle lard was free from water.

PITTsBURG, Feb. 29.-The management of the
Pennsylvania Company. this morning replied to
the request of the men for an increase of wages
The reply is to the effect that the pay of the
Pennsylvania employees of the Ft. Wayne road
and its branches west of Alliance is increased
10 cents per trip. This will raise the wages Of
conductors from So IS to 81 90; brakemen, from
81. 80 to 81 90, and fagman from 81. 80 to $500.
There is no increase on the Pittsburg division,
but the men will be allowed over time after nine
hours work per day On this division conduct
ors will receive % cents per hour, fraction
thereof, and brakeman Is cents per hour over
time. The cause of the long conference was
that the company was trying to arrange the diff
ferences a mileage basis, but owing to the
different rates on the various divisions salts
factory conclusion was reached. The employees
will meet, either az Crestline Alliance, to de-
eide whether to accept the terms not The

ground that much harder work was required Of
