THE PURE FOOD BILL COMPLETED.

Washington March CspeciaD.-The consideration
OF the Paddock Pure Food bill was practically com
pleted by the Senate this afternoon and vote would
have been taken upon the measure as whole, but
for the confusion in the text caused by the adoption
of mutifarious amendments in the last few days. An
order was consequently made for a reprint Of the bill
as amended In Committee OF the Whole, and In Its
revised and Ineligible form 1t will probably be
voted upon Tomorrow The alterations adopted have
generally been in the direction Of limiting the applca
ton OF the bill to articles distinctly the subject OF
interstate commerce. and exempting from its pro
visions articles manufactured and sold within the
boundaries Of the same State. Mr.. Paddock thinks
the amendments which the Senate has made In the
text will strengthen the bill appreciably. and he Is
confident OF securing It's passage BY fair majority
Few Republican Senators will oppose 1t and II has
some friends on the minority side OF the Chamber
The debate today on the bill was Interrupted by
an nnseemly incident While Senator Morgan was
speaking In support OF amendment which he had
offered an auditor IN the front row OF the public
gallery for exclaimed abruptly and In voice
heard all over the Chamber: "That's a He' The
