TRACK NOTES.
NEW YORK, Jan. 13.-Judge Os-
borne of the supreme court at Brooklyn
today denied an application for an in
junction made by Riley Grammar
against the Westchester Racing as
sociation and the New York Jockey
club for ruling him off the tracks. Cen
eral Tracey in presenting the case said
that under the civil rights act of 1895
Grammar had all the privileges Of
places of amusement, and that the stew
ards of the Jockey club ruled him off the
tracks for making a present of $500 10
Jockeys Taral and Griffin. Judge Os-
borne, in his opinion, says it is q rule of
the Jockey club that no presents shall
be given to jockeys, and that Grammar
admitted he violated il.

IN THE HOUSE
State Control of Oleomargarine De
bated-No Action Taken

WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.-The rumor-
ed reopening of the Johnson Mcguire
controversy did not materialize in the
house today
The senate resolution authorizing the
secretary of the treasury to make con-
tract for the government building at the
Tennessee centennial exposition without
the accustomed period of advertisement,
was adopted.
A bill to make oleomargarine, butter
inc and other limitations of dairy produce
products subject to the laws of the
states into which they are transported,
was bitterly opposed by Mr.. Williams of
Mississippi, Democrat, on the ground
that it would establish a dangerous
precedent, inasmuch as it would placa
it in the power of any state to prohibit
entirely the sale of a wholesome product
by the exercise of it's police powers.
Mr.. Gross of Vermont, Republican, in
charge of the bill, said the purpose of the
bill was simply to place it in the power
of the states to prevent the transporta-
ton into and sale therein of imitation
buffers as genuine butter. He produced
some figures to show the great increase
in the distribution of imitation butter
up to the time of the original package
decision in 1893. The court then decided
that the states could exercise their po-
lice power to govern the sale of products
imported into them, but that decision
was made by divided court and there
fore subject to reversal. This bill was
designed to make that decision the per-
manent law of the land.
Mr.. Cook of Illinois, Republican. op-
posed the bill, and Mr.. Boatner of Lou
isiana, Democrat, who argued that it
would be an abrogaton of the power
of congress to regulate commerce.
Mr.. Cannon of Illinois, Republican,
made a fight for more time for the dis
cussion of the measure, when Mr.. Grout
endeavored to secure vote, and the re-
suit was that the house adjourned, leav-
ing the bill undisposed of.

| Following are the principal provisions
of the bill relating to the terms of post
| masters introduced in the senate today
by Senator Hill:
That the term of office of all postmas-
ters hereafter appointed shall be four
years, and that in case of vacancy it
shall be filled By appointment for the
remaining unexpired term; that the term
of office of postmaster shall be deemed
to commence from the date of his as
sumption of the duties of his office, that
the term of office of all postmasters
now in Office shall be four years and
such term shall be deemed to have COM
menced from the date of the assumption
of the duties of the office by the occu-
pant; provided, however, that where the
present occupant shall have been ap-
pointed to fill a vacancy he shall hold
office only for the remainder of tine unex-
pired term of four years, provided he
was appointed from the same political
party to which a predecessor belonged,
or Is q member of the family of such pre-
decessor
Representative Hills bill for the reor-
ganization of the line of the army. which
is partially based on Secretary Lamont's
recommendations, has been ufcler dis
cussion by the house military committee
tee decided to report it to the house
without change. The scheme is to or
ganize the army into ten regiments of
cavalry. seven regiments of artillery and
twenty-five of infantry, and to limit the
number of enlisted men, including Indian
scouts and the hospital corps, to $4,000.
Under this plan an artillery regiment is
to consist of a colonel, lieuteAant-colo-
mel, three majors, twelve captains four
teen first leutenantS, twelve second lieu
tenants, one sergeant major, one quarter
master sergeant, one chief musician,
two principal musicians and twelve bat
teries. Two batteries of each regiment
may be organized as field artillery with
additional enlisted officers.
Infantry regiments are to have the
same officers and are to consist of twelve
companies organized into three battal-
ions. The present organization of cav
airy regiments is to be unchanged and
all vacancies are to be filled by promo
ton according to seniority.

IN COMMITTEE
General Arbitration and Armor Plate
Call for Action

WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.-The senate
committee on foreign relations today
had under consideration the general ar
bitration treaty recently negotiated. The
committee found the subject involved of
such vast proportions as to render any
speedy disposition of it out of the ques-
ton. The general opinion is that the
treaty will remain in committee some
time, owing to the disposition of men,
bers not to pass hastily upon it, and the
necessity they feel themselves of making
careful inquiry into all its details. The
meeting served to develop the fact that
the feeling is a unit in favor of the prin-
ciple of arbitration between nations, but
it was made evident that each individual!
was likely to have his own ideas as to
how the desired result should be at
tanned. The committee decided to rec
ommend that the senate make the treaty
public, but it did not take up the ques-
tion of having it considered in open
session.
Secretary Herbert's report to con-
gress on the price of armor plate was to-
day referred by the house committee on
naval affairs to the subcommittee which
is preparing the naval appropriation bill.
Chairman Boutelle said tonight that the
committee had not yet discussed the ar
NOR plate question this session, and he
could not predict what would be the re-
suit of the secretary's report. The usual
manner of procuring government stores
was by contract after competitive bid
ding, but as there was practically no
competition in the armor plate business,
the government had more delicate
problem in making it's contracts. The
committee might fix a price in its bill
for the armor plate, or it might leave
the making of contracts to the secretary
of the navy. Which course would be
taken, however, Mr.. Boutelle could not
predict.
The house committee on agriculture
today submitted the agricultural appro-
priation bill and accompanying report
to the house. The total amount carried
by the bill is So, 512 422. a net decrease of
S1027S0. The amount carried for sal
aries is S25,6 less than the estimates,
but $4,000 more than provided last year.
The appropriation of $150000 for seeds
was included against the wishes of the
secretary of agriculture. The system of
meat inspection, says the report, should
be extended and the increase of $25, ,O00
provided in the bill for the bureau of
animal industry cannot be reduced
without cripplng the inspection. The
reduction in appropriations is made un-
der the head of miscellaneous, including
the weather bureau. The amount ap-
propriated for the weather bureau is
exactly what was finally estimated for,
and is $500, 900 less than for the current
wear,

AUSTRALIAN WHEAT.
The Crop Is Short and Prices Will Be
High.


WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.-The wheat
crop of Australia for the coming har-
vest is short. So says United States
Consul Bell at Sydney in a report to the
state department, and then he supplies
details as follows:
The crop year will end in April next
for wheat. The crop falls so far short
of the usual amount as to reduce Aus
tralia from her position as the sixth
wheat exporting country on the globe
to about the eleventh place. From being
an exporter of about $4,000, 600 bushels
year, Australia will have to import
not less than 100000 bushels to supply
the deficiency from short crops. This
misfortune to Australia will be of con-
siderable benefit to our people, not only
because the United States will supply
the chief part of the 5000 600 bushels
deficiency, but because she will also
supply large part of the worlds def
cheney caused by the withholding of the
100000 bushels usually furnished by
Australia.
