May Come Up in the
House.

Inc oleomargarine fight was carried intc

To-Day, where a lively contest occurred be.
tween the dairy and the oleomargarine in.
terests
Inc night was over a resolution which
had been introduced by Mr. Tawney as a
substitute for the Grout resolution, pro-
viding as follows:
Resolved, That the Secretary of the
iheasury be, and he is hereby. requested to
furnish the House of Representatives in
formation concerning the amount and char
acter OF the material used in the manufac-
ture OF oleomargarine by the several manu-
lacturers, as shown by the monthly dupli-
Gates of pages 1 and of form 216 for the
nscal year ending June 30, 1899, and also
tor me month of December of the same
year as returned by the various manu-
Iacturers of oleomargarine throughout the
ohited States for the above periods
Object of the Revolution.
The purpose of this resolution, as ex-
Plained in The Star few days ago. is to
secure from the internal revenue bureau
information which is expected to disclose
whether, as alleged, deleterious substances
are used in the manufacture of oleomar-
sarlne AT any rate, the informa ton will
snow to what extent cotton-Seed oil and
peei productS are used and may, it is
claimed. upset some of the representations
made by the oleomargarine manufacturers
TO those whose aid has been enlisted in the
nght against the producers and consumers
of butter
TIE resolution met with instant opposi-
ton IN the committee on ways and means.
Ihe claim was put forward that the fur
nlshing of such information is prohibited by
law. 1t Is understood that Mr.. Dalzell led
the opposition to the resolution. After Il
SPIRITED discussion a motion was made by
Mr. Hopkins of Illinois and carried to sub
nit the resolution to a subcommittee con-
sisting of Mr., Dalzeu, Mr.. Underwood and
Mr.. Tawney, which will ascertain the law
on the subject and report to the committee
next Monday.
What Mr.. Tawney Says.
Mr.. Tawney was disappointed at the ref
erence of the resolution to the subcommit-
tee. The subcommittee stands two against
one he said. and this is only in the line
of the general tactics of delay
Mr.. Tawney is not discouraged how
ever He drew his resolution so that il is
privileged, and if an attempt is made to
shelVe the resolution he can move on the
hoor of the House to adopt it without Il
port of the committee
Mr.. Tawney said this afternoon that he
will follow that course, if necessary. and
carry the fight to the floor of the House

merce today discussed the bill for the
amendment of the interstate commerce law,

upon it. It was agreed that another meet

evidence heard. The friends of the bill
favor an early meeting and are anxious to
have the bill reported to the Senate even
though the report be adverse bur the on
ponents urge delay and seem inclined TO
contend for the taking of more testimony
before voting upon it, The present indica-
dons are that meeting will be held early

LAGOS, British West Africa, April 90
Three hundred Nigcrian troops have been
dispatched overland to the Canaan country,
northwest of Ashanti. where the British
resident reports a revival of the troubles
which necessitated the expedition of last
year. One hundred and fifty other troops
are proceeding from the Gold Coast.
