TEXAS ANTITRUST BILL.
Labor Unions May BE Exempted
From Its Provisions.

From Its Provisions.
Austin, Tex, April 20.-The special com
mittee appointed by the Senate to give
hearings to parties interested in the Ar
kansas antitrust bill now pending in the
Texas Legislature, to-day recommended
that the bill be passed without amend
ments save one to provide that the bill
shall not become operative until Jan. l.
1900.
The committee states that the represen-
tatives of the labor unions of the state ask
that they shall be exempted from the pro-
visions of the bill by amendments but as
the bill does not touch them, in the opin-
ion of the committee it is suggested that
no amendment be added to the bill.
The House committee report recommends
that an amendment exemptng the labor
unions be added.
The House committee also recommends
an amendment providing that no insurance
company pooling in another state and do
ing business in this state, shall be held
responsible for the poor outside of the
state A strong fight wiA be made by the
insurance people for the retention of this
amendment but it is claimed that a ma
jority of the House is opposed to it.
A resolution to appoint a committee to
investigate as to who was paying tolls
for the thousands of kilograms the mem
bers were receiving, precipitated a warm
debate in the Senate. The statement was
made on the floor that interests likely to
be affected by the bill were spending thou
sands Of dollars in efforts to intimidate leg
islators. After a lengthy discussion the
resolution was voted down.
Some petitions were received to-day by
members asking for the passage of the
antitrust bill. No discussion of the meas
ure will be had before Monday.

Havana, April 2O.-Three cases of yellow

An Irishman, who was picked up on the

cases OF natives at the same time, Doth
of which have since recovered. Col. Davis

The shell had been fired into a cafe

men were digging it from under the floor

exploded, wrecking the room.
The accident occurred on the same day

Dewey and His Chinaman.

The relatives of Admiral Dewey expect
him to return to Vermont after month or
two for period OF rest and recreation,
and when he will have more time to visit
the scenes of his childhood. According
to understanding of Washington Officials,
the Chinaman who is acting as the admiral's
body servant can remain in America Six
months, when, under the provisions OF the
Chinese exclusion act, he must return to
bis native country. Some one suggested
to the admiral that possibly congress would
make an exception in thi, case, and that
Wun Lung would be permitted to remain
for an indefinite time. This suggestion,
however, did not appeal to the Chinaman,
who remarked 4" Me goes home to see mes
family" The Chinaman takes the keenest
interest in the admiral's affairs and jealousy
guards his property. On his arrival at
Tompkinsville the admiral was presented
with baby lion, which he in turn pre-
sented to one of hi, officers with the
remark that he could not divide his atfec-
tons, already having dog to which he
had become closely attached.

The Central Vermont Strike.

The Central Vermont trainmen have
been nursing a grievance for some time on
account of the smalIness of their pay. AT
present the conductors receive from 500 to
$40 month, and trainmen from S3S to
$50. Though the trainmen are unwilling
to be intervie wed on the subject it has been
learned from unofficial sources that de-
mand has been made to General Manager
E. H. Fitzhugh for an increase in pay and
at last accounts Mr.. Fitzhugh had not re-
Piled to the demand.
The engineers and fremen have made
the same demand as the trainmen and con-
ductors, and took action in the matter al
the time the conductors sent in their seized,
ule. The telegraph operators also have
grievance, and if the train hands attempt
to tie up the road, it is said the operators
will help them. The best paid fremen gel
81 a day while the engineers get from
s.. 10 to 10. The best operators on the
road receive $40 month.

How to take Milk Samples.

In the interest of Vermont dairymen at
tention should be called again to the ne
cessity of proper precautions in taking milk
or cream samples for analysis. 1t Is
common thing for Vermont creamery pa
irons. dissatisfied with the test of the milk
they deliver, to send sample to the Elk
pertinent Station in order to compare its
results with those given out by the cream
cry. The idea is a good one, but its eX-
ecution is often faulty. Few people real
ize how easy it is to take an incorrect milk
sample. There is good reason, moreover,
to believe that more than one-half of the
many hundreds OF milk samples sent by
farmers every year to the station are I'M
properly taken and that the results Of the
tests are misleading. The Station can do
no more than test what is sent. BY no art
OF legerdemain can it arrive at correct
test from an incorrect sample. No doub;
many creamery arrangements have been
uniustly accused of carelessness, incompe-
tency or worse by patrons who have based
their Judgment upon the Experiment Sta
ton tests, when, as a matter OF fact, the
trouble lay in the faulty samples furnished
to the station by the compliments.
While mistakes are readily made in thi:
matter, it is not difficult to take proper
SAMPLE if the directions here given be fol
lowed. The samples at least will not be
at fault.
Creamery testing may be best checked
either by having the creamery sample OIL
duplicating it. When the creamery com
posite example is complete and ready fol
testing the operator may be asked to fur,
n'sh one-half of it. The patron should
then be certain that the operator thorough
ly mixes the sample by pouring; that al
the cream from the sides of the ar, covers
etc., is mixed into the milk or cream, ant
that the halving is done Immediately aftel
the last pouring. In lieu OF thi, the oper
ator may be required every time he sam
pies at the factory to furnish a duplicate
sample in jar controlled by the patron
In this way duplicate composite sample
may be made, one held in the control o
the operator, the other in that of the pa
iron; both of which should test closet
alike.
If samples be sent to the Experlmen
Station, Burlington, Vt, for its free anal
ysis, they should be carefully taken
Wide-mouthed jars should be used, whic
should be filled absolutely tull to proven
churning in transit. Express charge
should be prepaid, and the name of tn
party sending should be placed upon tn
package.
