Hospital Corps Insignia.

The War Department Is considering i'm
portant changes in the insignia of the hos
pital corps Of the army. The brassard now
worn by the privates and non-commissioned
officers of that corps is essentially the
badge of the Geneva convention, and con-
sequently cannot be considered a distinc-
tive mark for any single corps of the
army. 1t Is felt by the officials that this
badge should not be worn except under the
special conditions for which it was pro-
vfded, that is, for use in war. as authorized
by the Geneva convention. 1t is therefore
proposed to substitute for the brassard a
modified Maltese cross of emerald green
clsth, with narrow white border of the
same shape now worn by officers of the
medical department. 1t is also proposed to
have modified Maltese cross Of unbur-
nished gilt material as a cap ornament for
enlisted men of the hospital corps.

Bids were recently opened by officers of
the quartermaster's department in F'hiladel-
pha, Boston, Chicago and San Francisco
for 10000 blankets for the use of the army.
The lowest bid received was that of George
Campbell of Philadelphia. who formerly
held similar contract with the government
and whose business was recently placed in
the hands of a receiver. 1t has been al
legged that one of the causes of his failure
in business was the rejection by the gov
eminent of blankets delivered by him under
his former contract. 1t is announced at
the War Department that all the bids re-
Gently received for blankets had been re-
jected lowing to an apparent misunder-
standing on the part of the bidders as to
the governments requirements" and that
instructions have been issued to the officers
Of the quartermaster's department to read
vertise for new bids for the blankets de-
siI ed, about $4,000 in number.

SECRETARY GAGE QUESTIONS.
Easy for Makers of OIeOmargarine to
E.Vade the Law.


E.VPde the Law.
Secretary Gage was before the Senate
committee on agriculture today to answer
inquiries concerning the oleomargarlne BILL
He said the bill as revenue producer was
useless and was not needed II it was not
a revenue bill it was a misnomer and Db-
jectionable on that ground. He said the
revenue under the present law was well
collected, although there were some losses.
Mr.. Gage was asked number of ques-
tons about the details of "oleo' collections,
prosecutions, etc.
He explained that many of the inspectors
were not experts and could not detect oleo-
margarine without analysis. He also said
that there was not adequate force to see
that the oleomargarine law was carried out
in every particular. He pointed out that
there were 1900 dealers in Chicago, and
that L would be impossible to watch them
al The collection of the revenue was the
main object of the department. Mr.. Gage
spoke of the Wadsworth bill in the House
as offering an almost effective method OF
stopping the sale of oleomargarine fraudu-
lently. He said that the evasion under the
present law is much easier than it would
be If the package was stamped with the
word "Oleomargarine.

Virginia Debt Repudiated.
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.

CHARLESTON, w. Va, January IA
Without a dissenting vote the state of
West Virginia has disposed Of the Virginia
debt question by passing Senator Camp
bells resolution, which completely ignores
any obligation upon the part of the state
OF West Virginia In it's share of the debt
which Virginia claims this state has a
part. A similar resolution will doubtless
pass the house, since the republicans con-
troll both bodies. This disposes of the ru-
NOR that the republicans were about to
consider this debt, amounting to millions
Of dollars, because of the alleged interest
Senator Elkins was said to have in the
cate. Senator Elkins repeatedly denied
having any such interest, and insisted that
no and his republican friends had no idea
of legislating In favor Of the long-mootod
question.
