MEAT INSPECTION.
Congressman Mills Deprecates
Governmental Interference.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.-In the house,
Mr.. Baker, of New York. called up the
senate bill for the inspection of cattle
and hogs and the products and carcasses
thereof, which are subject to Interstate
commerce. Mr.. Mills, of Texas, in
brief speech, earnestly opposed its pas s.
age, characteriZing it as one of the most
remarkable measures ever presented to
congress. 1t was proposition that the
government should take absolute con-
troll of the whole interstate commerce
as far as it related to meats. Under its
provisions. no cattle or hogs could be
slaughtered or transported between
states until a government official had
inspected them. Congress might as
Well give to one man the power and
labor of the people. Why not recognize
in the government the right to choose
the occupation of the people? If this
measure were passed let the people sur
render everything to the government
and confess that they were incapable of
attending TO their own comfort.
MIR. Stockbridge, of Maryland, in adj
yocatlng the measure. SAID that its OBJ
ject was to give to the people meats that
were III condition for human food. and
to take out of the markets those meats
which would have a tendency to cause
disease among the human consumers.
From the Atlantic to the Pacific there
was cry for pure food. pure food'
did not mean simply that there should
be no chicOry in coffee and no sand in
sugar; it meant that the meats that en-
tered into consumption should not be
tainted with disease, injurious to the
human being.
The bill was referred to the committee
on agriculture

Senator Jones Opposes Driving
People From Control of EIec-
tiOns.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.-The senate
resumed the consideration of the cleo
ton bill. Mr.. Jones, of Arkansas, made
an argument in opposition to it. He
characterized the bill as an attempt to
drive the people out of the
control of their own elections
and. to place that control in
the hands of federal officers.
The men, he said. with whom his lot
had been cast from 1861 to 1865 had
made record for endurance and
bravery of which, in the time to come,
ali Americans would be proud. Poorly
armed, badly fed, often ragged. always
without tents and other comforts, they
had endured privations and stood by
their colors, remaining with their COM
rades. and did their duty like heroes.
But creditable as their course has been
during that period of history, they
had exhibited a higher degree of
courage and devotion to duty
during the reconstruction period,
when they were plundered by the car
petbag thieves. They had surrendered
in good faith. had accepted the situation
and felt that they could endure such
outrageS for 4 time, believing that the
truth would come to be known at last.
and that Justice would be done. Did it,
MIR. Jones asked, seem strange that the
people of the South did not want re-

THE RAUM INQUIRY.
But Little Evidence Drawn Out o
Unwilling Witnesses.


WASHINGTON, Dec. IS. The house
committee, which has been investigat-
ing the charges made by Representative
Cooper, of Indiana, against the manage
ment of the pension Office by Commits
sloner Raum. resuped its inc uiry this
morning after an interruption, of about
three months. Green B. naum, Jr., as
sistant chief clerk and acting appoint
ment clerk, was examined with refe T.
ence to charges of favorit eism
shown Pension Attorney Lemon by the
alleged appointment of his employees to
clerkships in the pension bur eau. He
testified that no person appointed under
the administration of Gen. Raum was
employed by Mr.. Lemon at the time of
his appointment, with the exception of
ii. b. Ramey, whom he believed,
though he did not actually know, was a
clerk i'll Lemons Office. Ramey got his
appointment through the civil service,
and, SO far as he knew. no one in the
Office knew Ramey was in Mr.. Lemons
employ; and he did not know positively
that Ramey had been SO employed.
The appointments were made by the
commissioner after witness selection of
names certified by the civil service
commission. Witness never selected a
man whom he knew to have ever been
employed in Lemons office. Congress-
men sometimes recommended the ap-
pointment of persons certified by the
civil service commission, and that rec
concentration had some weight. The
pension office frequently called for a
large number of clerks, and the civil
service commission usually certified only
the number called for, and, with few
exceptions, every man certified was
selected, the few reflections being
for some special cause, such
as poor penlnanship, or previous
bad record III the service. In reply to
Representative Cooper, Mr.. Raum
stated that John M. Welty and Charles
McGilley had been promoted, the latter
twice, on the recommendation of the
chief of their division.
Mr.. Cooper asked if the witness had
ever talked with McGilley about the re-
frigerator company.
He answered that man named Coker
one day told witness father, the COM
missioner, that McGIllev had told his
son he had stock in the refrigerator
company. His father knew McGilley
never had any stock, and asked witness
to bring him to his office. In the
office McGilley stated he had never made
any such statement, and that he
never had and did not have any stock
in the company. McGilley signed an
affidavit to this effect drawn up by wit
ness assistant, MIR. Linenweaver. Nc
Gilley was in the service when Gen.
Raum became commissioner; his last
promotion was about two months ago
and after the affidavit had been made.
The division chief recommended the
promotion.
To Mr.. Sawyer he said positively that
Mr.. Lemon had never recommended
any person for appointment or promo
ton. Mr.. Lewis asked if Gen. Raum
had appointed any person on recon-
mendation of a member of the commit
tee.
The witness answered the question by
saying Mr.. Sawyer had secured one ap-
pointmert and Mr.. Sawyer himself ac-
knOwledged it.

A GREWSOME SUIT.
Two Families at Law Over Dis
pOSal OF q Corpse.

MARTINS FERRY. O., Dec. i3.-An
interesting yet strange law suit, set for
a hearing at st. Clairsville Thursday,
was continued until February owing to
the illness of the defendant. David Park
died several years ago, and his body was
buried in Walnut Grove cemetery. Mrs
Park was married to James K. Watson,
a prominent New York attorney. Hear
Ing that street was to be opened
through the cemetery, and that it would
pass through the lot of the Park family,
Mrs. Watson made preparations to
remove the body of her first husband
to Riyerview cemetery. David Park,
father of the deceased, objected, say
ing that his son had always expressed a
desire to be buried beside his brother,
who was killed in the army. Mrs. Wat
son insisted on the removal, and had
the body disinterred and taken to Riv-
erview cemetery. MIR. Park then
brought suit for the recovery OF the
body. Able lawyers are employed on
both sides, and much interest is mani
tested in the case.

Roger @. Mills Vigorously De-
nounces the Meat Inspec-
ton Bill.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.-By invitation
of the committee on rules, Representa-
tive Dockery, of Missouri, to-day ap-
peared before that body in order to make
statement relative TO his resolution
for an inquiry as to the allegation that
twelve senators and fifteen representa-
tlves were parties to silver pool prior
to the passage of the silver
bill, through which pool sl.oO0,-
600 in profits were obtained.
MIR. Dockerey stated that he had no per-
sonal knowledge as to the facts of the
case. His resolution cited statement
made in a special Washington dispatch
to the ST. Louis Globe-Democrat. While
dlSclalming any knowledge as to the
truth of the dispatch. Mr.. Dockery
called the attention of the committee to
the fact that on June p, 1899, Mr.. Con-
ger, the chairman of the committee on
coinage. weights and measures, had
used the following language:
Why, Mr.. Chairman, have been invited
time and again to join silver pools, but as
long as hold seat upon the floor. or stand
mere, my vote shall be cast and my voice
raised for the people of this country, for the
laoorlng men of this country, for the savings
bank depositors of this country, for the Grip
pied and scared soldiers of the country, in
stead of tor few bullion owners.
MIR. DocKery thought that the matter
deserved investigation. and the COM
mlttee took the subject under advise
ment.
Messrs. Stevens and Apperson, the
Washington correspondents of the ST.
Louis Embellishments were before the
committee in the AFTERNOON and were
asked the names of the senators and
representatives in the alleged pool, and
the source of their information. They
declined to give either, baslng their OBJ
lection principally upon the ground that
1t might look like volunteering testi-
mony. The committee took the matter
under advisement and will hold another
meeting Monday, when decision will
be reached.

MERCHANT MARINE.
A Bill In Its Favor Reported by
the Committee TO the House.

~ Dill fti ItS FaVOF hepOfteU ny
the Committee to the House.
WASHINGTON. Dec. ia quorum of
the house committee on merchant ma
rine and fisheries to-day formally
agreed to report the bill prepared by
the majority members of the committee,
as substitute for the senate tonnage
and subsidy bills. Representative FAR
quhar, the chairman, later reported
the bill to the house. In offering the
bill, says an accompanying report. it is
properly assumed that a marine of eOur
own, built, manned and used byuouf
own people, is a national requiremeiit
essential to fair participation In the
trade of the world, indispensable TO a
wise and industrial economy of state
and vital to the independence and de-
tense of our country. The report calls
the bill.
First-As to the distinction made in
favor of vessels performing voyages of
1000 miles or less. These, it says, will
be mainly to ports in the West Indies,
Mexico and Central America. Over 70
and under 500 miles, the bounty will be
10 cents regardless of the exact distance
sailed. Also over 500 and under 1000
miles. it will be 20 cents, withoutregard
to precise measurement. This adjust
ment has been carefully framed, not
only to eQualiZe the advantages and ia
cilitieS of Northern and Southern ports,
but to make sure that the neighbOrlng
countries of our continent and its fertile
islands may have increased trade with
the United States, and especially to Sc
cure the gateway of the gulf ports to
the shipping that should hail from
them. -at
Second-As to the distinction in favor
of steam vessels above eleven knots
speed, and the prOportioning of pay
meutS to speed above that rate the re-
port says that it is intended thereby to
induce the building of larger and
Swifter steamers than now compose our
steam marine. And, in fact without
this inducement, we could not probably
much improve the speed of cargo steam
erS. which shall be also mail and- pas
Senger ships, because when the rate
exceeds eleven knots. the requirements
of power, fuel and crew augments
rapidly. q
Third-As to the limit of 1000 miles,
it was deemed the limit proper to be
fixed in the original bill, and it may not
be sufficient to encourage the building
of large sail ships for our Pacific coast
grain trade, but the committee thought
it might do to begin with. IT INSULT
cient to regain our share of the trade,
the amount may be increased at a fut-
ure time.
The committee appends to its report a
letter from MI. Bates, the commissioner
of navigation, showing that the total
payments under this bill for the first
year would aggregate 81. 109,S80.
