COdy's Toast Now Recalled.

Washington, April 2O.-lt was at
Jut1u chamberlain 5 several years
ago, and the dinner was given by
that host himself in honor of General
Miles. Among the guests present
was Buffalo Bill, who had served I'M
der the General as ii scout in Indian
campaigns.
Around the board were many Of
the Generals old-time friends, both
In military and official life, and each
one We'd with the other in healths
and eulogies. Colonel Cody took the
lead Hestood up, champagne glass
in hand, and, with his customary
melodramatic manner when in the
presence OF large company, he said:
"To General Niles-a better Gener.
al and more gifted warrior | have
never seen. have served in the Civil
War and in the Indian wars; | have
been under at least dozen Generals,
and General Miles is superior to them
all. | have known Phil Sheridan,
Tecumseh Sherman, Hancock and all
of our noted Indian fighters. But
for cool Judgment and thorough
knowledge. OF all that pertains to
military affairs, none of them, in my
opinion, can excel my friend, the Gen.
eral. We have been shoulder to
shoulder in many IA hard march; we
have been together when men find
out who their comrades really are.
He is a man, every inch of him, and
the best General | ever served un.
der"
Cody paused. then again turned to-
ward the distinguished company and
exclaimed:
"No foreign invader will ever set
foot on these shores as long as Gen.
eral Miles is at the head of the army
Ifithey should-just call on met and
he sat down, amid laughter and ap
plause.

Slight Alterations.

Washington, April 24.-Friends OF
the oleomargarine bill which passed
the house to-day, have been making
Il canvass of the senate to ascertain
what disposition OF the measure will
be- made by that body. Opponents
OF the bill have been claiming that
the senate would refuse to concur in
tn house amendments and that the
legislation would be finally defeated.
The only house amendment OF i'm
portancp is that which reduces the
tax on process butter from 500 to
$50 year. 1t is claimed now that
the bill us it was passed by the house
to-day will be accepted by the senate
as Tie amendment made H1Ae hnuse
is not in any degree Objectionable.
The opponents OF the bill in the
house made a strong effort to place

same footing with oleomargarine,
but they we're defeated by "A two
