PLANS OF THE CONGRESS.
Oleomargarine Bill to Be Disposed of
in the House This Week.

WASHINGTON, Feb, 2-This promises
to be an interesting week in the House
The oleomargarine bill has been made a
special continuing order for Tomorrow
and after it is disposed of, which probably
will be on Tuesday, the bill for the repeal
of the war revenue taxes will follow
While both sides are unanimous in favor of
the repeal of these taxes ii is the intention
of the Democrats to open up the whole
tariff question during the debate on this
bill, and they will make a strong fight for
ample time for discussion. The question of
Cuban reciprocity is also likely to be de-
bated at length, as members on both sides
of the House are anxious to define their
positions. The friends of the oleoma-gar-
inc bill have no doubt of its passage. They
regard the vote on the adoption of the spe-
cial order last Friday as practically a test
vote. The bill is practically the old Grout
bill. imposing d tax of 10 cents pound on
products colored in imitation of butter.
and to make retail dealers who color oleo-
margarine subject to the same penalties
as the manufacturers.
The majority and minority reports on the
bill reducing the war revenue taxes are
practically completed, the purpose being
TO report the bill TO the House after a
meeting of the ways and means committee
tomorrow. Chairman Payne's majority
report is foreshadowed in his recent state
ment when the bill was agreed upon 1t
deals mainly with the extent and details
OF the reduction, which is said to be the
largest single reduction of taxation ever
made by a nation. The minority of the
committee conferred to-day and will meet
al IL a m. tomorrow TO sign the final dra II
of their report. II will concur with the
majority in supporting tax reduction. and
also will discuss the general subject of
tariff revision.
For the most part the Senate will divide
sits time this week between the Philippine
tariff bill and the bill increasing the sal
aries of members OF the federal judiciary
The salary bill is in charge of Senator
Hoar and will be considered in the morn
ing hour of the Senate each day until il
is disposed of. while the Philippine bill
which is in the hand of Senator Lodge
will continue TO have right of way as the
unfinished business after o'clock OF each
day The salary bill will be the subject
only of running debate but a number of
set speeches will be made on the other
measure. Among the senators who will be
heard during the week are Messrs. Teller
Turner. Carmack and Culberson. IL is not
probable the debate on the Philippine bill
will be concluded during the week The
friends of the judicial salary bill hope TO
conclude its consideration at compara-
lively early day. They say that Senator

track of the bullet wound in her breast
runs close to the pleura and the doctors

tributable to some other cause not yet
fully developed.
Since the officers concerned in the fight
and capture of the Biddles have had time
TO cool of little there appears to be

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.-The caucus of
the Republican members Of the House, to
be held tomorrow night as a result of a
petition circulated by Representative Crum-
packer, of Indiana. to consider his scheme
of reducing the Southern representation in
Congress promises TO be the first really in
teresting contest OF the present Congress.
The friends of Mr.. Crumpacker's scheme
have been quietly working all week muster
ing support. The Southern Republican men,
bers and a few others who have met and
agreed to advocate a federal election law
at the caucus have been likewise industri-
Gus in their efforts to secure the support of
a sufficient number of the members to de-
feat any action advocated by those in favor
of reduction.
There is still third element, composed
of members who think it unwise to take
the matter up at all. Representative Can
non is one who says, Leave them alone"
The speaker it is understood, would also
be better satisfied should the caucus re-
fuse to take the matter up in any form.
The Republicans, therefore. must do one
of three things: Keep their hands off en-
tirely, favor the Crumpacker reduction
which is Bartholdt's bill In case the eau
Gus agrees that legislation leading TO
reduction of the representation shall be
taken up, it is quite probable the commit
tee on rules will be instructed to offer a
resolution which will permit the House
to empower the speaker to appoint a Sc
lect committee to make a complete investi-
cation and report on the necessity of such
oTxo
be permitted to make the first argument
tomorrow night, in which he will go over
the entire question thoroughly. He has
been interested in this matter for several
years and has given the subject a great
deal of attention. Tonight he stated that
he was almost positive that an agreement
will be reached at one caucus.
The impression in Washington tonight is
that the United States Supreme Court will
tomorrow render its decision on the ap-
plication for hearing in the Northern
Securities case AS a matter of fact, there
is naturally no readable way of anticipating
the time or nature of the decisions from
the United States Supreme Court, but it is
also true that when big decision is COM
ing rumors get in the air that it is so and
very frequently they are correct In this
case the news of the coming of the decis-
ion seems to carry with it the impression
that the court will decide that it has no
jurisdiction, and that the State of Mime
sofa must seek relief in lower federal courts
If the decision is not handed down to-mor-
row no other opportunity will be offered un-
til Feb. "a, which will be the next day
when decisions are handed down.

success was due to Watson's persistent urgings
to study and love the wild flowers None, he
believed could have healthy love for flowers
unless he loved the wild ones. "In a garden the
plants are kept in well behaved restraint, but
we must watch their ways when they are wholly
free, when each can choose the home 1t fancies

disposng of its flowers and branches with the
utmost possible careessness of all other inter-
ests than it's own, yet somehow producing

flowers of the garden is especially suggestive.
He points out the wonderfully artistic beauty,

gressive of the younger railroad managers.
Mr.. Chamberlin is a native OF Bethel and

Oryille Bowen. Soon after learning the
trade he went to st. Adams to work for

hat a clerk in the office of j. W. Hobart

as to the ability Of Mr.. Cham berlin and he
was taken into the office OF Mr. Hobart to
fill the vacancy temporarily. Mr. Hobart
