Chicago's fish inspector says that IS

this amount has been in the reirig Z

the truth Of the claim, but with some
emphasis he recommends the passage Of
a law requiring that frozen fish be sold
as such, and not as fresh fish, Which
would seem to be reasonable. especially
in the matter Of the fiye-year-old lots.

DUTCH AUTOMOBILES.
Regulations Governing Their Use in
Holland Are Rigid.

In a report to the State Department,
Consul Frank p Hill at Amsterdam, sends
a copy Of the police regulations for the
government of automobiles in Holland. The
consul states that the use of the automobile
is becoming general in that country, and
that the prospects for American machines
are good. He especially notes that the ma
chimes intended to be sold in Holland should
be made narrower than is customary with
US, as the roads are too small to allow two
machines of four feet eight inches In width
to pass each other with safety.
Drivers of motor cars are required to
comply with the police regulations respect
ing other vehicles, and the cars are not al
lowed to go faster than horse at a
moderate gait. Motor cycles must be pro-
vided with a continuous sounding bell or a
strongly blown horn, and each cycle must
have two lamps one on the front and one
on the side, which lamps must be lighted
half an hour before sunset and continue
burning until half an hour before sunrise.
Carriages may not. be charged higher than
1900 pounds per wheel Drivers shall be
over eighteen years Of age. and the regu-
lation number of the carriage must always
be visible. Not over ten and half quarts of
oil may be stored in the carriage, and
metal reservoirs are required for storing
the oil,

| WAR REVENUE REDUCTION
MUCH FEELING OVER WAYS AND
MEANS COMMITTEES ACTION.
Plan Being Discussed TO Garry the
Fight Into the House by Divid-
ing the Question.

Much feeling is manifested over the ac-
ton by the ways and means committee yes
terday resulting from a division among the
republicans of the committee Some of the
republicans who did not want a conference
requested by the House on the bill are in
dlgnant at Chairman Payne's action in
voting with the democrats to bring this
about.
A plan is being discussed to carry the
hight into the House by dividing the ques-
tlon SO as to have a separate vote on the
motion to non-concur in the Senate amend
ments and on a motion to ask for a confer
ence.
There is some hesitancy about doing this.
since II the motion to ask for a conference
should be carried as a separate proposition
after a fight had been made on it on the
grounds that-the Senate in reporting a new
bill had encroached upon the prerogatives
or the House as the body in which revenue
legislation must originate, 1t would en-
phasize the action and be, perhaps, in the
nature of an affirmative declaration of the
rlght OF the Senate to originate such leg
islation in an indirect way.
At the Bottom of the Contention.
1t is asserted that the American Tobacco
Company is at the bottom of the contention
and that the action of the democrats of the
committee, with the assistance of the chair
man of the committee, is in the nature of
victory for the tobacco company, who
would, it is alleged, derive great profit from
the adoption of the Senate bill in place of
the House bill. Mr.. Platt of New York
Is represented as being strongly in favor OF
preserving the features of the Senate bill.
1t is supposed by members of the commit
tee who oppose asking for a conference
that most of the republicans on the floor
of the House would vote with them to sus-
tain the dignity of the House. but the diff
f1culty in the way Of carrying the fight
into the House is that it is assumed that
the democrats on the floor would vote as
did their colleagues on the committee. and
they, with such republicans as would fol-
low Mr.. Payne, might make a majority to
sustain the committee in asking for con-
ference.
There is some comment on the fact that
the democrats-the antitrust advocates
should stand by what is alleged to be the
work Of the tobacco trust.
1t is said that the matter is in such a
tangle that it may even endanger the fail
ure Of legislation for the reduction Of reve-
nue. at this session.

THE HOUSE.

Before resuming consideration of the
diplomatic and consular appropriation bill
today the House disposed Of considerable
routine business, passing the bill authoriz-
ing the Glassport Bridge Company to con-
struct a bridge across the Monongahela
river, and also authorizing the construction
of a bridge across Little River, near Big
Lake, Ark.
When the diplomatic and consular bill
was taken up Mr. Miers Qnd) was recog-
nized for speech on Cuba and the Phil
lppines. He severely criticised the policy
which denied. to the insular possessions
which had been held out to them" Mr..
Miers also dealt with the growing power
Of Concentrated wealth and the domina-
ton Of trusts.
Assurance to the FilipinOs.
Mr.. Brown (Ohio) followed in a speech
urging that Congress should now give
definite assurance to the Filipinos as to the
purposes of this government. He advoca ed
the speedy adoption of resolution declar-
ing that 'it is the purpose of the United
States in retaining possession Of the Philip
pine Islands to aid their inhabitants when
they submit to the authority Of the United
States in establishing a capable and stable
free government, and when this purpose
shall be fully accomplished the United
States, under such reservation and condi-
tions as may be wise and Just, will relin-
uuish sovereignty in those islands,
The reading of Mr.. Browns resolution
caused something Of sensation coming
from the republican side, and the demo-
cratic members broke into long continued
applause. Mr.. Brown urged that in all
fairness this assurance should be given to
the FilipinOs withuot further delay. 1t might
be the plan even now in mind, but what
was most essential was that the assurance
be given Immediately and definitely to the
Filipinos. He characterized the idea of
breaking the pledge given to Cuba as the
climax of greed and as doctrine of free
hooters and pirates"
MIR. Brown Congratulated.
At the close of Mr.. Browns speech he
was surrounded by number of his col
leagues and congratulated on the boldness
and vigor of his utterances.
Mr.. Dinsmore (Ark.) said the country was
to be congratulated the speech just
made, as it gave evidence Of a courageous
purpose to disregard the policy of the party
in power He said the signs of the times in
dicated a deliberate purpose to break the
faith with Cuba. AS to the Philippines,
there was no doubt they had expected as
sistance from the United States rather
than suppression. Despite the assurances
that the defeat of Bryan would end the
as it progressed, and curtailing vast eXpen-
diture.
| At 2 o'clock the diplomatic and consular
bill was laid aside and the House heard
eulogies on the late Representatives Daily
Of New Jersey and Wise Of Virginia.

Appropriations under Consideration
in Both Houses.
Mr.. TILLMAN AND PENSION BILLS
Republican Member Presents Phil
ippine Resolution.
DEBATES AND DISCUSSIONS

The passage at the beginning Of today's
session of a bill granting pension of $50 a
month to Stacy H. Cogswell, Company F..
18th Indiana Volunteer Infantry, induced
Mr.. Tillman Is. c. to make some forceful
comments upon the House in not taking ac-
ton upon a bill providing pension for a
Mexican war veteran who had resided in
South Carolina during the civil war and
naturally had been in sympathy with the
confederacy. The bill had been passed by
the Senate, but the House invalid pension
committee was delaying final action upon it,
Mr.. Tillman urged.
He said there was such sectional ami
mostly in the House committee that the
members refused to permit action upon the
bill for the benefit of this old Mexican vet
eran.
'Is the war over, or is it not?" demanded
Mr.. Tillman, with vehemence. Let us find
out whether it is or not. | swear by the
Almighty God that l will not let another
pension bill pass this Senate until this old
man gets justice!
The COnger Resolution Adopted.
The resolution offered yesterday by Mr..
Berry, calling upon the President for infor-
nation as to whether the American minister
to China has joined with the representatives
of other powers in demanding the execution
of Prince Tuan and other Chinese officials,
was adopted without debate.
At the conclusion of routine business the
naval appropriation bill was taken up and
discussion resumed the amendment of
the Senate striking out of the bill the House
provision which practically reduces the
course of study at the Naval Academy from
six to four wears.

rupted in Chicago.
STORM GENERAL over THE WEST
Two Fatalities Due to the Storm
in Railroad Yards.
COLLISION ON L ROAD

CHICAGO, February 9.-Seven inches of
snow fell in Chicago during the storm
which started yesterday afternoon and
which ragged until this morning, resulting
in an almost complete tie-up of many of
the cross-town car lines and seriously in
terrupting the suburban train service on all
roads. So binding was the fine snow,
driven by northeast wind which at times
reached a velocity of over forty miles AN
hour. that many accidents resulted.
One man was killed and another fatally
injured as a direct result of the storm.
Andrew Switzer, a railway switchman. was
run down and instantly killed by Grand
Trunk engine. Switzer was facing the
storm and did not hear the bell. Alvin
Carlson was also run over and badly man
gled while inspecting air brakes on a Lake
Shore passenger train, the bowling wind
drowning the sound of the starting whistle.
Collision on Elevated Road.
On the South Side elevated railway a
collision occurred on a curve at 53d street.
which derailed two cars and caused a panic
among the passengers, but which resulted
in serious injury to no one.
The storm was general over the west and
southwest and trains on all roads center
Ing in Chicago Were from fifteen minutes
to two hours late. Reports early today
showed heavy snow extending from Duluth
down the Mississippi valley to ST. Louis,
and eastward the storm was covering
Ohio with snow South of ST. Louis II was
raining hard.
In Chicago the new snow, coming on top
Of the foot that fell last Saturday and Sun
day formed drifts IN the suburbs that
made street travel there almost impossible.
The total fall of snow was the heaviest
here for several years.

|.LAND FOR NAVY YARD
DEBATE IN THE SENATE OVER
PROPOSITION roaPuRcHssE.
Amendment to buy M LkWeller's l.
Tract Ruled Ont IN
Point Of Order.

While the naval appropria tion bill was
under consideration in the Senate this after
noon Mr. Mcmillan proposed an amendment
to appropriate 525O9 for certain pieces OF
land adjoining the United States navy yard
in this city ON the west side. Mr.. Mcmillan
presented letter from Mr.. M. l. Weller OF
this city, the owner of the ,lan[i- to be pur-
chased, to the Secretary of thee Navy, and
telegram from the latter saying he had
an option on the land for $52s0oO. This was
part of the land desired for the extension
Of the navy yard westwardly-
Several Senator's I'm OIpositfen.-
. Mr.. Butler objected to the amendment on
the ground that the matter was so impor-
tant that 1t should have gone before the
committee on naval affairs, which could
recommend a plan for acquiring all the land
: the government needed west of the navy
yard, instead of buying only q portion of IT.
He didn't believe there was any immediate
need for the land.
Mr.. Gallinger made general protest
against buying land without very careful
examinat ton into it's value, and wanted to
know who had fixed the price OF this land
Mr. Mcmillan said the Secretary Of the
Navy had fixed the price and recommend
ed the purchase He had not brought it
before the committee on naval affairs be-
cause of his illness, which had curtailed
the time he had had to devote to commit
tee work The letter of Secretary Long,
however, was addressed to the committee.
Excessive Prices Alleged.
Mr. Galinger said he had objected to the
purchase of land from land gsyndicates or
others in this city at excessive prices. Last
year an attempt was made to sell land ad-
joining the insane asylum to the govern
ment for S2,333 per acre He understood
that an opinion was held for $4,000 on land
it was sought to sell to the, government for
S21O OOO which amount was recommended
by the committee on appropriations II
was now proposed to sell that same land
to the government for $1,000 an acre, and
he supposed if 1t was not purchased this
year the price would be reducedsnext year.
He said he had protested against buying
the Union building for $650.0O when he
showed that such a building could be built
for 100000 and the land purchased for
81 foot
Mr. Hale chairman of the naval commit
tee when appealed to, said he Knew OF
nothing pressing for the purchase Of the
land adjoining the navy yard.
Mr. Mcmillan said the government had
practically taken" possession of this land
for two years.
Mr.. Butler made point of order against
the amendment, which was sustained by
the chair, on the ground that It had not
been considered by the committee on naval
affairs.
