DAYS. 1t is a measure OF far reaching i'm
portanco, particularly to the west. aud the
interest in 1t was shown by the fact that
plan concerning 1t was Il feature Of the
several national platforms. The effect of
the bill is TO open the settlement Of all
public lands acquired from Indians, free OF
the minor office fee, and to release from
payment those who have heretofore set
tied on these lands. The number of acrca
involved is S3,252 .5i1 which would have
yielded the government $35, 343, O06 But II
was brought out In debate that the lands
were mainly arid, and the settlers were un-
able TO make payment, The Western Ten
ators in the main favored the bill as an
extension of the general nomesi lad rolicy
OF the government. The opposition was d.
rected mainly by Mr. Plat of Connecticut
and MIR. Villas of Wisconsin, As tae bill

THE HOUSE PROCEEDINGS.


Mn Passed 10 subject Imitation
Unir, Products Ia Restrictions.
Washington, January 14.-Tho house
spent almost the entire day debating tho
Grout bill, which was under consideration
| for a time yesterday to subject olcomar-
garine and other imitation dairy products
to the laws of the States into which they
are transported. The advocates OF the
measure took the view that the States
should be allowed to regulate the sale
OF n product sailing under false colors
and the opponents took the view that the
bill would establish dangerous precedent
and invade the power OF congress to reg
ulato interstate commerce. Those who
| supported the measure were Mcssrs. North
way tRep) Of ohio, Morse (Rep) OF Mas
sachusctts, Lacey tRep.) OF Iowa. Hainer
tRep) of Nebraska. Willis (RcpD OF Del
aware, Grosvcnor (Rcp) OF Ohio, and An
derson (Rep.) of Iowa. Those who or
posed IL were Messrs. Cooper (Dem.) OF
Florida. Tucker Dcm.l of Virginin. Can
non lRcp) of Illinois, Boatner (Dem.) Of
Louisiana, and Williams (Dem) OF Mis-
sissippi.
The bill is MS follows:
That all articles known rs oleomnr-
garine. butterine. imitation butt " or imi-
tation cheese or any substance In the
scmblancc of butter or cheese, not the
usual product of the dairy and not made
exclusively Of pure and unadulteratcd milk
and cream transported to any State or
Territory or remaining therein for use.
cons imption, sale or storage there shall,
upon arrival In such State or Territory.
be subject to the operation and effect OF
the laws Of such State or Territory enacted
in the exercise of It's police powers to the
same extent and In the same manner as
though such articles or substances had
been produced In such State or Territory
and shall not bc exempt therefrOm by
reason of being introduced there In original
packages or otherwise provided that moth
ing in this act shall be- construed to per-
init any State to forbid the sale of oleo-
margarine except In such manner US
will advise a customer OF its real char
acter."
Washington. January 1i.-The house to-
day devoted considerable time on the Grout
bill to make oleomargarine and other imi-
tation dairy products subject TO the laws
of the State or Territory into which they
are transported, An arrangement was
agreed to to extend the debate an hour and
half and then take vote.
Mr.. Cooper (Dem) OF Florida opposed
the bill. He argued that 1t would take
away from congress the right to regulate
commerce between the States. Congress
had abrogated It's power In the case OF
whisky. That was perhaps defensible but
the moment congress delegated this power
in the case OF another product Interstate

Senator Jones Arrssted-Local Notes.

Yesterday afternoon Louis Blair, who
keeps grocery store on Garfield street,
and five friends rode to Scott's pond to
have swim. The men undressed and
swan about for time and the idea was
conceived to give the horse bath.
After remaining for time In the waite r
the horse was hitched into the wagon
again and Mr.. Blair thought he would
drive the horse up to the main road before
the rest of the party got into the team. At
this particular place there is q sharp incline
to the waters edge, and the horse being
somewhat nervous back the wagon over
the embankment. The horse fell into the
water and the reins becoming caught about
the wheels, the horses head was held under
the water. The men we're unable to ex-
tricate him from his position and he was
drownded. Mr.. Blais jumped from the
team as 1t was going over the embank
ment.
Rescript Handed Down.
A rescript was handed down yesterday
by the Appellate Court In case In which
the legality of the curbing of a certain
street In Central Falls 10 questioned.
The rescript Of yesterday is on minor
phase of the question, and IL a. follows:
"The pleadings In this case are not
closed, and the question of law which the
parties desire us to decide 10 not regularly
before us. The case will, therefore, stand

Cake and Apron Sale.
A cake and apron sale was held last even
ing at the re'dence Of Mrs. Hulmes at the
corner OF Dexter and Cross streets. The

pectations. The cake table was presided

A few days ago trouble occurred In the
"Bowery" which eliminated yesterday af-
ternoon in Michael Theroux paying " and

Theroux visited q shed near Clark's Boiler
Works and took q whip from one Of the
carriages. A man named Mcintyre wit
messed the performance and took the
whip away from the boy.
The young chap sassed Mcintyre and In

The Blasting Ordinance.
II has been learned that 1t was Camille
Ponton of Broad street who had charge Of
the blasting of the copper at the New Eng

obtained permit to blast. An important
ordinance has been enacted lately bearing
upon that subject, and IL no permit has
been obtained the company Is liable to a
fine. No application fora permit had been
made at the City Clerks Office, and unless

violation Of the city ordinances.

A BORING ALLIGATOR.
Said to Have Made a Hole I'm a New
Orleans LeVee.

The high wind that prevailed did con-
siderable damage to the levees along
the Algiers shore, says the New Or
leans Times-Democrat of late date. The
wind after sunset blew especially hard
against that side Of the river. The
waves were blown over the rcvetment
and in some places did much damage to
the earthwork. The guards were very
active. They reported promptly all
washings, and where the occasion de-
manded it the damage was promptly
repaired.
One of the curiosities of the food in
this section developed at the Morgan
railroad wharf early one morning.
There had been trouble there for some
days with seepage, and force of men
had been employed closing the crew
ices and cracks through which the wa
ter percolated. There was an unusual
quantity at one place one night, and
the foreman of the gang, going over to
the spot the other morning to ascertain
the reason, announced the hole had
been caused by an alligator, which had
burrowed through from under the
wharf. His trail could be plainly seen
in the mud, and the workmen, in speak
ing of it to Sergt. Cologne, command
ing the Algters station, said that they
judged that he must have been at least
four feet long. They think the wa
ter covered oil the resting places that he
might have had under the wharf, and
he decided to bore hole through the
bank, and thus mix his time between
dry land and water. g.u
