VICTORY FOR BEER BILL.
Measure by Farris Ordered to En-
grossment in the Senate-Is
Much Amended.

JEFFERSON CITY, April 6.-(special.)
The beer inspection bill, introduced in the
senate by Farris, OF Crawford, was Or
dered to engrossment to-day, after five
hours of debate. The vote was % to II,
indicating that the bill will pass.
The fight of the day was made on an
amendment offered by Haynes, of st. Jo-
seph, reducing the inspection fee from 1
to cent gallon. This was defeated, 16
to IL.
Senator Schweickardt led the fight
against the bill. He characterized II as an
unnecessary and an unjust law.
A number of amendments were offered by
Farris and were adopted, which the friends
of the bill claim will strengthen II. Beer
and malt liquor designed for. export are
to be inspected free. This amendment is
designed to protect the constitutionality of
the act. Under the former section beer
exported was exempted from inspection.
Senator Morton offered an amendment,
which was adopted. requiring railroad and
copies Of bills of lading for shipments of
beer and malt liquors when called upon to
do so by the inspector, under penalty Of
$50 fine for each offense.
Senator Farris said that beer should bear
Its share of taxation. He thought has bill
would raise S640O00 annually.
Senator Haynes denounced the bill as
violation of Democratic principles. 1t will
probably come up next week for final con-
sideration,

He explained the situation fully, and the

The friends of Bob Heizer, Of Usage, then

put railroad attorney on the board. This
removed Heizer as possibility.

As to Imperialism, Mr.. Bryan says: "Im-

to give few SPECTATORS an opportunity

ical 5ungles in an attempt to stifle the very
sentiments which have given vitality to
American institutions; it Is not our duty
to deny to the people of the Philippines
the rights for which our forefathers fought.
