WASHINGTON, ID. c., January 2I.-
The farmers and lawyers met face 70
face in the House Of Representatives
to-day and the result OF the legislative
skirmish was a decisive victory for the
agriculturists. For several sessions
there has been decided Jealousy between
the Committee on Judiciary and the
Committee on Agriculture In the matter
OF oleomargarine legislation.
To-day this contest for prerogative
was revived by the introduction OF
bill by Mr.. Hatch, or Missouri, 10
amend the present oleomargarine Oil.
This bill provides that all oleomargSr-
Inc transported into any State or Terri
tory, or remaining therein for use, con-
sumption, sale or storage, shall upon
arrival in such State or Territory be
subject 10 the laws thereof, enacted In
the exercise OF its public powers, In tho
same manner as though such oleomarg-
arine had been produced In such State
or Territory, and shall not be exempt
therefrom by reason OF being introduced
| in original packages or otherwise.
81 ask that the bill be referred 20
the Committee on Agriculture SAID
Mr.. Hatch, who Is himself the chair
man OF that committee.
"Under the rules the bill should 60 To
the Committee on Judiciary said
Speaker Crisp.
Mr.. Culbertson, the Chairman OF the
Judiciary Committee, asked for the
1 reading OF the entire bill, and then OBJ
| jected 10 its reference 10 the Committee
ION Agriculture.
Mr.. Hatch now formally moved that
the bill be referred to his committee,
and the yeas and nays were finally de-
manded. During the roll-call much ac-
| tiylty was displayed by the members or
| the two committees over the question
OF reference, but the members from ag-
ricultural districts generally rallied
around Mr.. Hatch, and the bill was
finally referred 10 the Agricultural
Committee by vote OF l2S yeas TO los
nays.
II introduced that bill" said Mr..
| Hatch TO the Associated Press, "in re-
sponse to a demand OF the dairy inter-
| ests OF every section OF the country,
and the purpose OF r. Is 20 place oleo-
margarine In original packages In tho
same legal condition In the States that
what IS known as the Wilson Original
Package Bnl' places the sale and dN-
tribution OF LIQUORS. In other words, 10
| is TO give the great dairy States which
| have passed laws upon the subject
! OF the manufacture and sale OK
oleomargarine that police control
over the subject matter that tho states
had prior TO the decision OF the United
States Supreme Court In the original
package question"
Mr.. Martin, OF Indiana, offered a reso-
luton calling on the President 10 trans
nit to the House all the correspondence
had by him, by the Secretary OF State,
by the Secretary OF War, by the Secre-
! tary Of the Navy, by the United states
Minister 70 Chile, and by all other pub
| lie officials OF the United States con-
cerning the Republic OF Chile, during
the Balmaceda regime and since the
overthrow OF that regime, as TO all
matters OF public affairs OF both the
United States and Chile growing out OF
the existence, beginning and overthrow
OF the Balmacedan regime, aud the es-
| tablishment and continuance OF the
present government OF Chile. IL was
referred TO the Committee on Foreign
Affairs.
The discussion Of the report Of the
| Committee on Rules was resumed, and
Mr.. Dearmond, Of Missouri, spoke in
favor OF the committee report and crlti-
clzed the ruling Of Speaker Reed In the
last Congress.
Mr.. Hooker. OF Mississippi, though In
general advocating the proposed code,
expressed himself as In favor OF APP
| poiptIng a "Steering" Committee Of
| fifteen members, who should decide
what measures should be brought 20 the
attention OF the House. This was too
large power to vest In tho Committee
on Rules.
Mr.. Otis, ofKansas. congratulated the
country that for the FIRST time, repre-
Sc eptatiye Of the third party was per-
mltted to occupy the floor OF the House
OF Representatives. He proceeded TO
criticlse the rules as comforting dan
gerous power upon the Speaker and
upon the Committee on Rules.
Mr.. Watson, OF Georgia, then took
the floor and laid down the principles OF
the Farmers Alliance party. In the
course OF his IemdIhe slts Hob'Nh
ferred 70 the "CZarlsm OF Mr.. Reed Ia
the last Congress. This sllusion gave
rise 10 much merriment, growing prin-
cipally from the fact that Mr.. Watson
was standing In the aisle directly In
front OF the e1-Speaker. The latter
looked 10 with benevolent smile and
with a serlo-comic air, remonstrsted
with the speaker for the sentence.
The debate upon the rules was con-
tipued by Messrs. Dingley, OF Maine;
McCreary, Of Kentucky; Davis, of Ken
tucky; Bynum, Of Indiana, and simp-
son, Of Kansas.

brief space Of time allotted 70 him, bus

tive TO the price Of corn In hansss'
