q Spirited Debate Without n Division
Brief Synopsis OF the Arguments Used
for and Against the Measure That Was
Rejected.
Washington. Jan. 6.-The judiciary
committee had the right of way in the
house for three hours yesterday and
quite number of bills of minor impor-
tance reported from the committee were
passed. The remainder of the day was
occupied In continuing the considera-
Alaska. Some twenty-one pages were
disposed of, making eighty three in all
of the 232 pages.
section in the bill copied from the
statutes of Oregon, providing punish
ment by fine and Imprisonment of per-
sons who prevent or endeavor to pre-
vent employees from working aroused a
protracted debate on the ground that it
was an attack on organized labor. 1t
was finally stricken out.
List of Bills That Were Passed.
The following bills called up by the
judiciary committee were passed: To
provide additional circuit judges for the
Third and Sixth judicial districts. to
regulate the terms of court in the east
ern district Of Tennessee and the dis
trict of Butte. Mont; to retire Cassius
). Foster. United States district judge
of Kansas; to amend the revised stat
utes so as to allow the United States

demnity bonds; TO allow legally APP
pointed guardians of insane persons to
prosecute patent claims and to release
the International Cotton Press COM
pany, of New Orleans, from liability for
S3.4S9 of internal revenue taxes.
Debate on the Labor Clause.
The debate on the labor clause of the
Alaska bill was begun when Bell Pop)
of Colorado moved to strike out section
146. which provided that any person
who should by force, threat or intim-
idation prevent or endeavor to prevent
any person employed by another from
continuing work should upon convic-
tion be subject to punishment by
fine and Imprisonment. He declared
that the proposed section was an as
sault upon the liberty Of the citizen. 1t
was in reality u law to prevent strikes
and was a blow at organized labor.
Maddox CDem.) of Georgia. and Lewis
Pem) of Washington took similar
ground in favor of the motion to strike
out.
Tongue (Rep) of Oregon defended the
provision, which he said had been taken
from the statutes of Oregon and there
had never been an intimation there that
IL VAS directed against organized labor.
Would Apply to Gov. Tanner.
Knowles (Pop.) of South DOkota, in

clared that had this provision existed

| Washington, Jan. 6.-Colonel Henry
| B. Osgood, commissary of subsistence,
| who served with Gen. Miles at Tampa
| and at Camp Thomas and Santiago,
was before the war Investigating COM
! mission yesterday. General Beaver
| asked many questions as to the quality
of the ratiOns issued during the recent
| war. In brief. Colonel Osgood said that
the rations throughout the war We're as
good if not better than those usually
issued to the regular army. The beef
he said. was particularly good-better
than any he had ever eaten at an army
post. 1t was the first time, he explained,
that he had ever seen the refrigerator
beef issued in the army. and it was far
better than the contract beef he hal
generally had at various posts.
Contractors Held Responsible.
He said that he had had under him
a butcher of twenty-five years expert
ence, who cut and issued the beef, and
to issue a pound of bad beef. The gov
eminent, he said. had a very good
contract with Swift & Co, where
by they kept a supply of beef on
hand in refrigerator cars and ships.
Each day witness called for what meat
he wanted and the contractors put 1t
out on the block. The contractors were
responsible for it till the meat got to the
troops. and # meat was bad when de-
Hvered it went back on the contractors.
The contractors made good whatever
meat was rejected.
Tells About the Green Beard
Colonel Osgood explained that there
were many complaints as to the ap-
pearance of the meat. 1t had the green
mould or beard on the surface, as had
been explained by other witnesses. This
was repulsive looking. the witness said.
but the meat underneath was perfectly
sound, and was really prime beef-much
better in fact than any beef killed on
the spot. Witness corroborated the tes-
timony OF Major Duncan Harrison that
after the men who disliked the appear
ance of the refrigerator meat had had
short experience with meat on the hoof
they were glad to get back to the Amer
lean meat.
How Board of Survey Was Fooled
Colonel Osgood cited one instance
where a board Of survey Of the Second
United States volunteers had con-
demned a lot of beef and reported IL
rotten. The contractor protested to Col
Osgood that the refrigerator beef was
good. and brought a steak cut from one
of the condemned quarters. The steak
was kept twenty-four hours longer off
the ice and then served TO the members

TO INDUCE IMMIGRATION.
A Representative of the State Roar
Visits Here.

A Representative of the State Board
Visits Here.
George Hotschick, chief clerk of
secretary of states Office, was in the
city last week, looking after matters
pertaining to immigration, and re-
presenting the Governor and Secre-
tary OF State, who compose, togeth-
e. with a SECRETARY, the state board
of immigration. Mr.. Hotschick has
plan for inducing immigration to
northern Wisconsin, which he SUBJ
mitted to the Governor and Secre-
tary OF state, and they have sent
him out to try it in number of
counties. The plan is to prepare an
adequate description of the land and
people of each county. With this
description several illustrations of
farms should be included. We may
add the names of each proprietor
OF the farms. We must accurately
describe the nativity of the farmer,
where he went to school and spent
his childhood days, when he left his
native country, and his present adj
dress, in order that prospective
settlers in Europe may write to Inn
personally. This is the point. Per
haps in some instances these people
may recognize among our settlers
old schoolmates and comrades of
war; Such memories gladden. the
heart, and if the descriptions are
found to be accurate and trust
worthy by them, it will not fail to
have the desired effect. In order TO
properly prepare such descriptions
of the various counties for these
people in northern Europe we may
submit the following plan. The
county boards of immigration will
be asked to take charge of the work,
and are requested to prepare lists
to be placed in the hands of the
postmasters, or any other respon-
sible person. in order that the farm
ers may inscribe into them the
names of their friends and relatives
in the old country. In this manner
we may procure, on an average, the
names of about $500 persons for
each county. Through the medium
of the respective country German
papers a copy of such description
may be sent as supplement to
these $500 friends and relatives in
Europe.
Mr.. Hctschick says that he knows
from personal experience that each
one OF these papers will pass into at
least twenty-five hands. He esti-
mates that $3.50 for each county will
carry out the plan. While here Mr..
Hotschlck submitted his plan to a
few OF our citizens; John A. Jacobs,
president of the county board of inn
migration, among the number. The
plan will likely be laid before the
next meeting of the county board,
and they will be asked to take some
action to carry it into effect.
