washington, Dec. s. - The house
passed the Grout oleomargarine bill by
q vote of 1913 to 80. The substitute Of
fered by the minority Of the commit
tee on agriculture which imposed ad-
ditional restrictions on the sale of ole
! ~omnargarine to prevent it's fraudulent
sale as butter and increased the pen
alties for Yiolators was defeated by a
vote of 113 to 17S. The bill as passed
makes all articles known as oleomar-
garine, butterine, imitation butter or
imitation cheese transported into any
state or territory for consumption or
sale subject TO the police power of
such state or territory, but prevents
any state or territory from forbidding
the transportation or sale of such pro-
duct when produced and sold free from
c~oloration in imitation of butter. The
bill increases h tax on oleomargarine
colored in imitation Of butter from 2
to 10 cents per pound and decreases
the tax en- oleomargarine uncolored
from 2 cents to IA of a cent per pound.
A long and interesting debate preceded
the vote, in the course of which those
who favored the Grout bill claimed
the additional tax on colored oleo-
margarine was the only effective rem
edy for preventing fraud upon the
public, while those who opposed 1t
contended that fraud would be pre-
vented by the substitute, and that the
real purpose of the Grout bill was to
destroy the oleomargarine industry.
Mr.. Payne. chairman of the ways
and means committee, gave notice at
the close of the session hat he would

preparation bill next week, probably on

THE MARCH TO PICKING.
Difficulties Under Which the American
Force LabOred.

copyright, 1900, by the Associated Pressl
PEKING, Aug. Ia, by Post, via Tien-Tsin.
-One disadvantage that the Americans had
during the hard march to the relief of Pek-
ing was that their transportation wagons
were late in arriving. The Ninth Infantry
possessed the only outfit which reached
Tien-Tsin up to the time of starting. The
supplies were divided among the soldiers of
the Ninth and the Fourteenth Infantry
Regiments and the battery. The Amer
leans, with haversacks. blankets and tent
rolls started under the heaviest loads. but
they soon stripped to fighting trim, prefer
ing to forego their blankets rather than to
sweat under them. During the last two
nights of the march they slept tired and
worn out, in the rain, without shelter or
cover One night the wagon train lost the
road and passed the American camp. The
drivers plodded along four miles in the
darkness and rain. They might have driven
into the Chinese camp, but, fortunately
the Russians stopped them just in time.
The Americans often Divouacked supper
less and breakfastless and toward the end
the officers kept the men at work only by
appealing to their national pride. Don't
let the Britishers~beat yoG. Don't let the
Russians get ahead" they urged constantly.
The army transport, when n reached Pek-
Ing was an unique spectacle. Miles of ami
mails, vehicles anG coolies trailed behind;
everything imaginable wheels, from
farm wagons to fashionable equipages was
impressed, and every horse mule and
Chinaman in the path was Communicated
The Japanese had cows bearing packs and
the Russians had camels. Cinnamon pulled
the carts and staggered under heavy packs
the soldiers cursing and beating them Sew
eral dropped dead. Two hundreds junks and
scows bearing munitions were towed up
the river by coolies. Had the Chinese aken
the offensive most of the transportation
might easny have been captured and cut to
pieces by small thanking parties. After ii
was apparent that the enemy was de-
moralized the generals trusted the trans
ports TO luck and bent their efforts toward
getting ahead. Only such an emergency as
existed could have justified such hardships
as were imposed upon the troops.
