can be introduced in Great Salt Lake with
any assurance Of commercial success.
A partial experiment with fishes was
made with small quantity of Salt Lake
water shipped to Washington through the
kindness OF a correspondent. The quantity
was too small for conclusive trial, but
SO far as it went the result was unfavora

PURE FOOD BILLS.
Attempts in the Past tn Have Need
ed Reforms Made.


The Pure Food bill which has been IN
troduced in the present Congress by Rep
| resentative Brosius has attracted atten-
tion TO the fact that from the days OF the
| Forty eighth Congress, when Mr.. Greene
| Of Mort Carolina introduced a pure food
bill, each succeeding Congress has had be-
\ fore it for consideration a measure of this
| character.
During the hotly contested fight for pure
| lard, in which the manufacturers OF that
article waged bitter warfare against the
compounders of stearine, cottonseed oil,
| and kettle-rendered lard, who called these
products pure refined lard. bill was in
troduced in the House OF Representatives
by Mr.. Lee of Virginia, which for the first
| time provided for the control Of food and
drug products ty the Department of Ag-
riculture.
The bill was seBt 20 the House Commit
tee on Agriculture. and referred to a sub
committee of which the late Mr.. Laird of
Nebraska was chairman. He made a care
full study Of the question. and presented
a substitute for the Lee bill which was
endorsed by the committee and favorably
reported 10 the House.
4 similar bill was introduced in the
Senate by Senator Faulkner of West Vir-
ginia whose able championship had pre-
yiously secured the passage of Pure Food
bill for the District OF Columbia. His bill
went to the Senate Committee on Agricui-
ture, but was not acted upon by that body.
In the Fifty-first Congress Mr.. Allen
introduced the Laird bill in the House
with some amendments. and il was favora-
bly, reported to that body. Senator Faulk-
ner introduced his bill in the Senate and
again it went TO the Committee on Agri-
culture and Forestry. of which the late
Senator Paddock was then chairman. In
the Fifty-frst Congress, however. the
Sherman Edmunds Export Meat Inspection
bill and the Vest-Hatch Interstate Meat
Inspection bills passed. and it became nee
essary to eliminate from the Pure Food
bill all that related to the inspection of
animals and meat, and Senator Paddock
reported the bill thus amended. but It was
never voted on.
In the Fifty second Congress, Senator
Paddock introduced an improved bill
which went into the Senate and before the
country as the Paddock bill. Senate No l.
II passed at an early date during the first
session and went to the Agriculture Com
mittee Of the House. of which Mr. Hatch
was chairman, from which it was promptly
reported favorably and went upon the cal
endar. but did not come to a vote.
The friends of the measure became some
what discouraged, and though bills were
presented in each succeeding Congress lit
tie was done to secure their passage.
The Paddock bill ran the gantlet of
criticism of some of the greatest lawyers |
that ever sat in Congress. among them |
were Edmunds. George, Paddock, Hatch, |
Brosius. and others.
There seems no cause for fear that the /
OF the BrOsius bill will be |
questioned, since it covers practically the .
same ground as the bill presented by Sen- !
ator Paddock.

THE ARGENTINE TARIFF.
An Official Denial of Injury Under 1t
to WOOlgrOwers.

| An Official statement respecting the Ar
gentiDe convention was given out today to
correct misapprehensions in respect to the
effect OF the treaty on the wool interests.
| II says the Argentine tariff system involves
fixed and high rate of duties ON imports
and also provides for valuation, to be fix
ed from time to time by executive au-
thority. By this system duties are often
effectually increased without any new leg
islation, and at the will OF executive eff
GERS.
The object of the United States was to
obtain reductions of the tariff on exports
and 10 reduce or establish valuation be-
yond which they could not go as the basis
for assessing duties, The convention, for
example. not only secures to United States
exporters reduction on Oregon pine lum-
ber but fixes the valuation and on Ore
gon and yellow pine reduces it over 40
per cent.
The duty On cottonseed oil is reduced
about 80 per cent. On bacon and many
food products il is reduced by 20 per cent
On paraffne wax the duty is reduced 80
per cent, and the valuation reduced by
81 IL per cent. On many other exports
similar reductions were secured.
oh the otter hand, the report says. the
Argentine Republic demanded reciprocal
concessions On the few articles it sends
to this market. Among these was wool.
and American woolgrowers have expressed
fears that this would prove Injurious to
the domestic interest
The total import OF wool in the United
States for 1899 from all countries was 76.-
.36,0d pounds" says the report. "Of this
from the Argentine Republic came only !
i.s5s,e00 pounds, which is a very small |
portion OF our aggregate importation |
There is no proposal for any reduction of |
wool duties in favor OF any other foreign !
country.
1T is evident that the proposed reduc-
tion for Argentine wOols alone can have !
no effect on our market prices. The ma
jcrity of the wool is OF the coarsest class. |
which is bur little supplied by this coun- /!
try. The statistics for eleven months OF |
1898 ~ show that during that period the /
Argentine exported 46l1 bales of wool |
OF this over 100000 bales went 10 the free |
ports of Europe

DISAPPRoVED BY MILES.
The General Does Not Favor the
Army Reorganization Bill

General Miles will probably offer no
more recommendations in regard TO the
reorganization and increase of the ARM
He does not favor the bill which is in
preparation in the Adjutant Generals Of
fee and which is understood to be con-
fined in its provisions to the staff corps.
Ii is probable. too. that it will be an
tsgonized by Senator Proctor, who will
reintroduce the bill for the REORGANIZATION
of the military force which failed of pas
sage at the last session of Congress. This
measure is virtually the same bill which
was drafted in General Miles office, and,
of course. has the endorsement of the
Commanding General.
Secretary Roots plan for a school for
stan officers is generally favored in the
army. although it is not contemplated to
include such a scheme in the bill now be-
ing prepared in the AdjutaDt Generals Of
fee. Secretary Roots idea is practically
the adoption OF the general staff feature.
although that effect does not appear in the
departmental project.
The plan has the endorsement of the
heads of the staff corps as a means of
training staff officers for special duty. 1t
would OF course, destroy the permanency
OF stan personnel but most of the experts
regard the change as assuring greater ef-
hciency than the present method of .;elec-
tion mainly by virtue of political and per-
sonal influence
Officers would serve four or five years
In stan corps and then return to their
line duties and not be eligible to reappoint-
ment in the staff until after they had
reached one years service In the line.
There will be keen disappointment
throughout the service If there be no pro-
vision for the change in the line. but be-
yond bill for the increase of the artillery

WILL LIMIT PENSIONS.
Senators Fix $50 as the Maximum
Monthly Amount.

| Few. if any. bills granting an increase
of pension beyond $50 a month to widows
whose husbands were killed or died of dis
ease during the Spanish American war will
! become laws during the present session OF
| Congress.
| The Senate Committee on Pensions has
| just framed a new set of rules for zaling
with pension bills, under which the meas
ures receiving consideration will be limited
! to a very small number.
| One clause OF the new rule provides that
mo widows pension will be granted by
special act in excess of the maximum rate
| allowed by law, except in case of dSs.i-
tuition or extreme physical disability, to be
substantiated by sworn testimony. includ-
ing the claimants affidavit and in no case
will pensions be recommended for a widow
at higher rate than $50 per month";
This will shut out the claim of the widow
of General Lawton, in whose interest bills
have B.. en- introduced in both houses pro-
viding for a pension of 81, 900 per annum.
With the fund now being raised for her it
cannot be represented that she is in desi-
tute circumstances, and she will, therefore,
not be eligible for the s50-amonth ciazs
receive only the usual pension of $50 a
month allowed to widows of colonels and
officers of higher rank by the general pen
sion laws.
The widow of Gen. Guy v Henry for
whom pension from 81 200 to 1000 per
annum is being urged by her friends in
Washington. will also be shut out for any
rate higher than $50 a month. The COM
mittee will no doubt make favorable re-
ports for Mrs. Henry and Mrs. Gridley,
widow of Captain Gridley, for $50 month,
but it is extremely doubtful il any bills
are reported for amounts exceeding this
sum.
1t was mostly on account of this hostility
to large pensions for widows of officers
that Secretary Root and General Corbin
started the movement for a fund for Mrs.
Lawton.
Among the other rules adopted by the
Senate Committee on Pensions are these:
Claims passed upon by the Pension Bu-
reau, whether allowed or rejected. will not |
be entertained until at least one year has |
elapsed, except in the cases of persons |
more than seventy years old, or of claims |
which have been rejected because they do !
not technically come within the provisions |
of the existing law.
mo consideration will be given to any |
claim unless it has been submitted to the ,
Pension Bureau for adjudication and acted |
on, except in cases where it is shown that |
the claimants have no pensioLable status |
before the bureau.
Claims pending in the Pension Bureau
are absolutely barred from consideration.
Where original pension or increase of pen
sion has been allowed by special act NJ
additional pension will be entertained.
Consideration will not be given to any
bill which proposes to restore to the roll
The name Of widow whose pension was
orfeited by remarriage. unless she was the
gife of the soldier during the period of his
military service and is now widow in aci-
.ual need.

John &. Price. of Skngway, Arrives
I'm Washington.


John G.. Price. the man chosen at the
meeting of Alaska,ns at Skagway to repre-
sent Alaska in Congress. has arrived in
Washington.
When Congress meets next week Mr.
Price will apply for seat as a Territorial
Delegate in the House, in order that he
may present, in an official way, the needs
of Alaska for legislation. He has already
conferred with Speaker Henderson on the
subject, he being native of Iowa. the
Speakers State.
The objection raised to the admission Of
an Alaskan Delegate is that a troublesome
precedent would be established The fear
is explained that in the event a dele
gate from Alaska is seated, applications for
similar favor will come from Hawaii and
perhaps from Porto Rico. Mr.. Price is
twenty y-nine years old. He was born at
Guthrie Centre, Iowa, but his home is at
Skagway. Alaska.

OIL COMPANY EXPANDS.
The United Develops Property
Near Trinidad.

The current issue of Facts,
Denver periodical, contains the
following article relating to the
work of the United Oil company:
The oil interests of the United
States are closel y watching a move
ment which has been taking shape
at Trinidad for some time and
which is likely to culminate in act
i've operations in a wide field ad-
jacent to Trinidad. The United
Oil company, of Denver, which
operates the field at Florence, has
closed several deals in Las Animas
county, and will soon begin an
active season of prospecting, The
United company is said to be
backed by the Standard Oil people.
For the last four or five years the
oil subject has been agitated
in the same locality, but not until
the last few months has anything
been done that looked like a de-
velopment of the field. Sufficient
surface indications have been dis
covered to warrant the sinking of
experimental wells. There are
both oil and gas indications and
work will be commenced within
fortnight to ascertain whether
either can be obtained in paying
quantities, The United company
has come down here asking neither
bonuses nor subsidies, and with
plenty of money to carry on the
operations. In the past many tests
have been made by men of insuffl-
cient means, and in each case oil
was found. An option on several
thousand acres east of Trinidad
has been secured and as much
more has been actually leased.
The lands leased include 1,2SO
acres known as the Barela tract
and the l 200 acres adjoining be-
loping to Sherman \ Co, making

THE FREE LIST.
ARBITRATION WILL PREVAIL.

The Hague conference is pro-
crossing in good form towards
substituting arbitration for the
brute force of war, says the Den
yer Post, thus doing away with the
necessity of a large standing army
in each country for the sole pur-
pose of keeping its neighbor in
check. With the principle of ar
bitration once recognized progress
in that direction is assured. While
the principle is correct and ar
bitration has heretofore been in
voked to settle differences on the
American continent, it will be
something new for Europe, and its
development will no doubt be
watched there with a good deal of
curiosity until the people become
convinced of its perfect practica-
bility. That the principle will
eventually obtain permanent
foothold is quite apparent, for the
big standing armies are steadily
eating up the substance of the
people and self protection demands
some such action. Once that prin-
any necessity for draining the re-
sources of the country through
such armies. That the United
States should take prominent
part in forcing the recognition of
this principle upon the European
powers can only rebound to the
credit of this country.
The Florence daily tribune., 1899-06-08


In a recent editorial of The
TRIBUNE the statement was made
that only the same number of men
is employed under the eight-hour
system as was under the ten-hour
plan. This is wrong in two re-
spects. A great many more men
arc required. and the former
length of the day was twelve
hours. This brings out another
point that people will recognize at
once, IN comparing the. matter
with the boasted ten per cent. adj
vance in wages by the smelter
trust. 1t will be noticed that
working eight hours for the same
amount received for twelve hours
labor is an increase in wages of
nifty per cent. Little wonder that
there are no strikes in the Cyanide
mills.
