RELATING TO TAX SALES,
Passage of House Bill S4G6 by the
senate.

The Senate today passed House bill S4G6,
to amend the act of February 2S. 1898. re-
lating to taxes and tax sales in the Dis
trict of Columbia. The bill proposes to
strike from the present law that provision
which requires the repayment of taxes and
assessments paid by the owner of a tax
deed during the time between the delivery
of such tax deed and the redemption of
amended, would allow the purchaser of the
tax deed the amount paid for such deed
and interest at the rate of Il per cent
This legislation was recommended by the
Commissioners. In their letter approving
this bill the Commissioners say:
THE clause sought to be repealed by this
bill was intended solely for the protection
OF purchasers of property at tax sales by
securing TO them the return. with interest.
of any money they pay for taxes due on the
purchased property subsequent to the sale.
the purchasers purpose in making such
payments being to prevent q subsequent
sale of the property for arrears of taxes
until they are entitled to a tax deed No
such provision was ever before contained
in tax law of the District
1t has been found by experience that
not only is the effect of this provision as a
stimulus to purchasers at tax sales prac-
tlcally insignificant but that it involves the
keeping of an intricate system of accounts
the trouble and expense Of which far out
weigh any advantage that can be derived
from 1t. The aggregate amount so far
received in any one years taxes has been
less than S400, and this sum is made up of
items ranging from cents up to about
$40, more than half Of which are less than
81, and very few as large as So
The bill was passed without amendment
and requires only the signature of the
President to become a law.

THE ADMIRAL MUST DECIDE
CHICAGO.
One viii BE Erected by Union Car
penters and the Other by
Contractors.

CHICAGO. April 17.-Admirai Dewey will
have to decide whether he will review the
Chicago Dewey day parade from grand
stand constructed by the contractors or
from a stand erected by union carpenters
affiliated with the building trades council.
The union carpenters are aroused over the
fact that the offer of the Master Carpen-
ters' Association has been accepted by the
committee on the celebration and are dis
posed to make trouble. A committee, COM
posed of o. E. Woodbury., president of the
Carpenters Union; Business Agent Lewis
and Luke Grant, secretary of the Amalga-
mated Carpenters Association, visited the
committee on grand stand yesterday and
offered to construct reviewing stand.
Chairman Theurer informed the committee
that the matter had been settled and no
proposition could be entertained.
John A. Long, president of the board of
business agents OF the building trades coun-
ell, and Luke Grant stated later that the
carpenters would write a letter to Admiral
Dewey acquainting him with the labor situ-
remain in Washington or come to Chicago
with the intention of reviewing the parade
from a grand stand constructed by union
carpenters.
If Admiral Dewey comes to the city and
ignores union labor said Business Agent
Long, 1.-The workingmen will be badly dis
appointed. He cannot afford to review the
parade from non-union grand stand if he
is candidate for the presidency. Besides,
he will miss all the music. for no union
bands will march past such a stand.'

POSTAGE STAMP BOOKS,
They Will Be Sale Tomorrow in
the Local Offices.

The distribution of stamps in books has
been begun by the Post Office Department
These books contain twelve, twenty-four
and forty-eight 2-cent stamps, respectively,
and while it is a question whether the pub
lie will appreciate the convenience of this
form of having the stamps, still the matter
is to be tested. 1t is expected by the 1st
of May that all the post offices in the
country will be supplied with these books,
and today the shipments Were begun from
the bureau of printing and engraving A
supply for the ffrst-class offices, numbering
1913, is being sent out today and as rapidly
as possible the books assigned for the sec
ond-class offices will be shipped, and then
will follow in order the supplies for the
offices in the other classes.
The books for the Office in this city were
received today, and will be on sale tomor-
row. The department is prepared. in the
event the demand proves to be very large
to fill orders as rapidly as the postmasters
send them in. The stamps are inciosed in
covers of stiff Manila cards about three
inches long and two inches wide. The
stamps are in sheets of six and the sheets
For a book containing twelve 2-cent stamps
charge of % cents is made, so that the
department gets 1 cent for the trouble and
expense of this form. The department
therefore charges only the full value for
the stamp and cent for the book and The
oiled paper. The convenience to the pub
lie of this device, it is believed, will be
looked upon as well worth the slight charge
that is made

LIGHT VOTE IN LOUISIANA.
Heavy Rains Have Left Roads in Bad
Condition,

NEW ORLEANS, April 17.-Heavy rains
fell over the state last night and today, and
the indications Were for small vote in the
state election. AT many of the polling
places in this city the water half
foot deep.
A full state ticket was to be elected. as
well as legislature, which will choose two
United States senators: parochial and
county officers throughout the state, NUM-
cipal officers in most of the towns outside
of New Orleans and a number of judicial
officers. Three state tickets are in the
fieid-the democrats, the Wimberly repub-
lican and the Cafery republicans The
campaign has been extremely bitter. But
for todays weather conditions a large vote
would have been polled. This was the first
general election under the new constitu-
ton. Because of the educational and prop
erty requirements for voters the registra-
tion was reduced from 100000 to ~, 900, of
which only 1000 are negroes.

what the Dafrymen Expect to Show
From the Answer When
Received.

Mr.. Grout has introduced in the House a
resolution calling upon the Treasury De-
partmert to furnish to Congress informa-
tion as to the kinds and amounts of in
gradients used in the manufacture of oleo-
margarine. Behind the resolution is an
interesting story of the anti-oleomargarine
night now being waged in Congress.
AT the recent hearings before the agricul-
tural committee the oleomargarine makers
refused to tell the proportions of the in
gradients which they use in making their
product. The dairymen We're anxious to
bring out some statistics upon this point.
put were unable to get them on record.
Claims by Dafrymen.
1t is claimed by the dairymen that the
oleomargarine manufacturers have sum-
moned to their aid the representatives of
several other interests through misrepre-
sentations. 1t is alleged that they get the
support of southern interests by claiming
that cotton seed oil is the largest part of
o!eomargarine; that they enlist the cattle
men by claiming that the by-products of the
beef cattle furnish the principal constitu-
ent of oieomargarfne; that the hog raisers
are allured by the tale that a great market
for lard is made by the manufacture of
o!eomargarine
Each one of these Industries, the dairy
men claim, is made to believe that it is the
whole thing in the oleomargariBe trade. and
that if these wicked butter producers tri-
umph the cottonseed oil, the lard or the
beef Industry will suffer. In order to de-
velop the exact proportion of ingredients
the resolution has been introduced. The
dairymen say they believe the report will
also show the use of some deleterious sub
stances, notably Stearine, which, they
claim, IS an indfgestibe product resem-
bling tallow from which candles are made.
The information is on file in the internal
revenue bureau, as the law requires the
manufacturers to submit monthly state
mentS showing the materials used

MUTUAL MISUNDERSTANDING.
Major Knight and Father Tierney
Part Excellent Eriends.

Secretary Root said this morning that
the misunderstanding between Maj. Knight,
the engineer officer in command Of the army
post -at Willet's Point, New York, and
Father Tferney had been fully adjusted to
the entire satisfaction of both parties, and
that the matter will be allowed to drop
without further action by the War Depart
ment. The trouble arose out of misunder-
standing Of the rules of the post on the part
of Father Tierney and a misunderstanding
on the part of Maj. Knight as to the in
tentions of the priest. The latter was on
his way to the post hospital to visit a sick
soldier, but instead of following the usual
route, he went by a path which took him
near the batteries. He was not recognized
by the sentry and was turned back. in ac-
cordance with the rules against civilians
visiting that part of the post. The matter
was investigated by a representative of the
Wod Department at Willet's Point yester-
day, with the result of mutual explanations
and complete reconciliation, the two prin-
clpals parting as excellent friends. Secre-
tary Root says that no change in the COM
mand of the post is contemplated
