In the Upper House.
(By the Associated Press.)

Washington, March 26.-Throughout
today's session of the Senate the Cleo
margarine Bill was under discussion.
The debate was interesting at all times,
and some phases of it were amusing
Mr.. Hansbrough, of North Dakota, con-
cluded his speech begun yesterday in
support of the measure, maintaining that
the oleomargarine industry had been
outlawed by the Legislatures OF many
States and that it ought to be compelled
by Congress to take off it's mask and
place it's product upon the market for
what it really was.
Mr. Stewart, of Nevada. declared that
the proposed legislation was unnecessary,
and that there was no more reason for
taxing colored oleomargarine than for
taxing colored butter.
The principal speech of the day was
delivered by Mr. Dolliver. of Iowa. He
spoke forcefully and at times eloquently,
and throughout commanded the interested
attention of his colleagues and of many
members of the House, who had come to
the Senate to hear him. He scathingly
denounced the oleomargarine industry,
declaring that it had put itself in part
nership with lawlessness and false pre-
fences. Mr.. Dolliver concluded his
speech with a glowing eulogy of farm
life and of the American farmer.
Mr.. Hoar and Mr.. Lodge, of Massa-
chusetts, explained that their reason for
supporting the bill was that it was a
tax upon an evident fraud.

Demands of the Weavers.

Fall River, Mass, March 25.-The
executive committee of the Manufacture
ers' Association gave a hearing today to
the representatives of the Weavers' Union
on the length of cut of cloth to be ac-
cepted as a standard for computing wages
for weaving. The weavers made three
propositions:
1. That the standard of print cloth cuts
be 46 yards.
2 That the committees of the weavers
be allowed to measure cuts about which
there is a dispute.
3. That the actual length of cuts to be
woven be posted and that there be an
agreement that the length be as nearly
that as possible
The manufacturers declined the first re-
quest as unfair, in view of the varied
speed and styles of looms, but were ia
vorably disposed toward the last two re-
quests. They stated, however, that other
manufacturers would need to be consulted
before fixed rule could be adopted. The
conference adjourned without definite
action being taken.

With grave faces the members of the

RESOLUTION PASSED.

Mr.. Means said that on account of the
wide discussion over the State it was
made necessary for this committee to
take some action. He, therefore, offered
the following resolution THAT the chair
man of this committee SHALL in his call
for the next State Convention, state that
the said convention will determine
whether the Democratic party shall
choose its candidate for United States
Senator by primary, by the convention,
or otherwise"
Watson and Craig were invited to ex-
press their views on the subject. Mr..
Watson stated that he preferred a
primary, and that unless he should re-
ceive plurality of the votes at a prim-
airy, he would not allow his name to go
before the Legislature.
Mr.. Craig said that he was perfectly
willing to abide by any method which
might be adopted by the convention. He
said he had been somewhat impressed.
however with what had been said in
favor of a primary.
Senator Simmons stated that he had
received letters from Capt. Alexander
and Mr.. Glenn, both candidates for
United States Senator, in which they
said they favored the primary.
Mr.. Busbee called the previous oues-
tlon upon Mr.. Means resolution, and the
ayes and noes were called for. The vote
resulted in 49 ayes to IA noes The reso-
luton was accordingly adopted.

were to fight the primary in any event
He said the feeling had been very bitter
in his section of the country at the last
primary, and he considered that anoth-
er one would widen the breach between
Democrats. His people. he said. would
be very largely in favor of nominating
the Senator by the State Convention.
Mr.. Hackett said that his people would
not be satisfied with any method of Sc
lecting United States Senators but the
primary. His county, he said, was Re-
publican, but there were 1900 Democrats
there, who would have absolutely no
vote if the Legislature elected Senator's.
Mr.. Busbee said he thought the dis
cussion would serve no practical pur-
pose, and he moved that the resolution
lie on the table.
Mr.. Broughton thereupon withdrew his
resolution.
Mr.. Simmons said he did not agree that
the discussion was of no value. He con-
sidered it of the utmost Importance. He
said he like the suggestion of Mr. Lon
don, that in the call for the convention,
it should be stated that it was possible
that the Convention would adopt soma.
one of several methods of electing a
United States Senator as set forth in
the call. The only object of this would
be to call the attention of the people
to the possibility of the convention de-
signaling the method of selecting a
United States Senator.
Judge Allen then suggested that Chair
man Simmons put into his call that the
duties of the convention, in addition to
nominating candidates, would be to desig-
nate method of choosing a United
States Senator.
