Thousands of i've stock owners and
fanciers, together with others interested,
have attended the big international live
stock exhibition held at the stock yards
in Chicago. The exposition has eclipsed
fourfold anything of a similar character
ever before held. There IS no show held
in this country with which the internal
tional live stock exposition can be COM
pared, but in Great Britain the royal
show at York, which held its sixty-hrst
annual event this year, IS somewhat OF
a prototype of this, except that it has
royalty for its officers.
AT the New York show this year there
were, including live stock, poultry and
farm products, $50 classes, while at the
international there are upward Of GOO
classes on cattle, sheep, hogs and horses,
to say nothing of the packing house and
other side exhibits. Dairy cattle We're
shown at York, as were also all classes
OF horses, while the Chicago show only
recognized beef cattle, the mutton leeds

House Embodies Prohibition Amend.
nent in Military Bill.

House I'm bodIeS ProhtDItlon Amend
nent in Military Bill.
The army bill passed the House en-
bodying an amendment for the abolition
of the army canteen. Representative
Fitzgerald (AIass.) attempted to have the
amendment brosdened so as to prohibit
the sale of intoxicating liquor upon gov.
eminent property, explaining that mas
much as Congress was willing to deprive
the soldiers of their beer the members
should prove their unselfishness by pro-
hibiting the sale of liquor at the cap
itol, but the motion was ruled out on
point Of order.
The House divided almost on party
lines. Representative Mccall (Mass0,
who is opposed to the administration on
everything connected with expansion and
colonial policy, was the only Republican
who voted in the negative. Three Demo
Representatives Clayton and Tn.

away from party lines and voted
with the Republicans in favor Of the
bill.
Mr. Littlefeld's substitute for the cam
teen provision of the bill reads:
"The sale of or dealing in beer, wine
or any intoxicating liquors by any person
in any post, exchange or canteen or army
transport or upon any premises used for
military purposes BY the United States
is hereby prohibited. The Secretary Of
War is hereby directed to carry the pro
visions of this section into full force and
effect"
The amendment was adopted-159 to

WARSHlP BIDS OPEN.
Navy Department Has Estimates for
Eleven New Vessels.

Navy department Has Estimates Tor
Eleven New Vessels.
Bids have been opened at the Navy
Department for the construction of five
new Dattleships and six armored cruisers,
aggregating total displacement of 154,
600 tons, and comprising the largest con
signment of material for the navy ever
contracted for at a single bidding. Three
of the five new hattleships, the Pennsyl-
vania, the New Jersey, the Georgia, the
Virginia and the Rhode Island, are to be
sheathed and coppered and will carry SUI
perimposed turrets; the other two are to
be unsheathed vessels, having the quad
rilateral arrangement of eight-inch tur
rets.
Each ship win carry four 12-inch guns.
These are of the extraordinary length of
forty calibers, or twenty feet in the bore,
of the new type just turned out by the
ordnance bureau, and superior in etli-
cheney to any 12-inch gun in the world,
and at least equal to the 13-inch guns
which have marked the maximum caliber
in the American navy. In the three
sheathed vessels, a pair of S-inch guns
will be mounted ON the top of each of
the Pinch turrets. -Four other S-inch
guns will be distributed in two turrets
amidships on these two vessels.
The unsheathed vessels viii have eight
S-inch guns mounted in four Independent
turrets. Both classes of vessels, sheath
ed and unsheathed, will have a broad
side of twelve 6-inch rapid-fre guns on
the main deck, besides twelve 14-pound-
ers, twelve 2-pounders and number of
automatic guns, making the battery more
formidable than any afloat as far as
ability to concentrate fire and to throw
weight of metal is concerned. In the
matter of defensive power the battle
ships of both classes are unsurpassed.

New York Business lust now is infiu-

report highly Satisfactory volume OF
holiday buying. Wholesale and manu-
featuring interests on the other hand,
are. in accordance with custom, degoting
the present season largely to the work
of stock taking and getting matters in
shape for the first of the year There
is, therefore, little expansion to be noted
in these lines. The volume OF business
is nothing in the nature Of boom. This
feeling is in a measure reelected in the
action OF the stock markets. While tho
sales on the New York exchange con-
tinue fairly large, the movement Of
prices has become narrower, and the ten

oLEo BILL WINS OUT.
Grout Measure Taxing Colored Butter,
inc Pissed by a Decisiye Vote.

Grout Measure Taxing ColOred Butter
inc Passed by a Decisive Vote.
The Grout oleo bill was passed by the
House of Representatives by vote OF
1913 to 90. The bill was fercely contest
ed and the vote surprised the advocates
of colored butterine, who did not look
for such a decisive defeat. Representa-
tive Lorimer's substitute bill, to prevent
the sale of oleomargarine as butter, was
defeated by lis to l13. Several heated
personal encounters between Mr.. Lori
me- and his opponents marked the course
Of the debate.
The bill as passed makes all articles
known as oleomargarine, butterine, im;ta-
ton butter or imitation cheese transport
ed into any State or territory for con-
sumption or sale subject TO the police
power of such State or territory, but pre-
vents any State or territory from forbid
ding the transportation or sale Of such
product when produced and sold free
from celebration III imitation of butter.
The bill increases the tax on oleomarga-
rire colored in imitation of butter from
Z. to 10 cents a pound and decreases the
