THE OPPOSITION GROWS,
The Oleamargarine Bill will be Put on It's
Final Passage Today.

Washington, d. c., Feb 1.-THE vot-
ing on amendments to the Oleomargarine
Bill in the House today indicatd con-
siderable change of sentiment since last
Congress, when the bill had 1O6 majority
Opposition to the measure has gained
strength While the passage Of the bill
Is not endanGered, 1T is not likely that
the majority tomorrow, when the final
vote is taken. Will exceed thirty.
The opposition today was strong enough
in committee of the whole TO adopt two
important amendments one providing
that nothing in the act should be con-
strued to prevent the manufacture and
sale Of oleomargarine in any State for
consumption entirely within such State
and tho other to provide for the importa-
tion and branding of renovated and press
butter. The amendment was especially
obnoxious 20 the friends OF the measure
and when the bill was reported TO the
House a separate vote was demanded on
it. The vote was pending when the
House adjourned.
Although the amendment commanded
q majority of twenty in committee of the
whole, where no record is made, iI is not
unlikely that the action Of the commit
tee Will be reversed tomorrow when
members are obliged to so on record.
Several committee amendments adopted
today changed the phraseology of the
bill. the most important being that MAX
ing the ten cent tax to oleomargarine
made in imitation Of butter "of any
shade of yellow" Considerable feeling
was injected into the proceedings TO-
ward the close of the session.

An ever increasing crowd watched the
work going ahead on Salisbury street
Yesterday. and today will see the crowd
grow larger
The city force Of hands was at work
as were the county convicts, upwards OF
fifty people, going at it with pick for
part of the day, this being necessary be-
causeu the ground were frozen hard and
blowing was impossible.
The three big steam rollers did some
work the picks flew, the big ploWs made
deep burrows, carts were here and there
and work was rushed so that the way
might be cleared for the modern grader
and elevator.
Before this was used work was done
by the city steam roller and the rooteI
plow with a perpendicular blade, which
is used TO soften the ground. The pillow
used between Hargett and Martin streets
is large one, and it took six horses to
pull H.
The dirt, which as ii is eXcavated, has
been hauled in carts and dumped in the
lot. known as Edwards lot on Davle
street.
In the afternoon the elevator and
grader got TO work. The big plow cut
deep into the ground and the endless
belt took up the dirt, elevating it and
pouring it over into dump carts, which
rapidly replaced each other
The crowd had great sport for awhile
as the drivers OF the carts could not reg
ulate their teams, and teams and drivers
were at times besprinlled and beshower-
ed with big loads of dirt.
Work with the elevator and excavator
from wrich y horses are used, s pulling,
4 pushing will go on today. and every
effort will be made TO be ready during
the day for the work CT matchmaking the

than decrease. If the figurs existing in
this state were accessible the fatalities
would probably be as numerous.
The accidents are nearly all prevent
able. The greatest loss of life and in
jury says Mr.. Barnes. ito passengers
on electric railroads in the last five
years has been caused by rear end col
lisions; the next largest loss by head-on
collisions Such collisions, as every
railroad man knows, are solely a ques-
ton of adequate brakes, adequate dis
cipline, sound rules of the road and un-
swerving adherence to them.
The trolley roads cause this terrible
destruction to life so that every ten
miles of trolley in the state of New
York. and probably in this state has its
yearly murder, and Injuries five or six
persons annually, simply and solely be-
cause trolley companies are making
their dividends by speeding their cars
on heavy grades, on cheap. insufficient
tracks, with insufficient brake power
and lacking discipline, without signals.
without a system of train dispatching
and with a complete disregard of the
precautions which railroad experience
has shown to be necessary.
In cities where the speed is limited
these accidents are less numerous, but
they exist The trolley companies have
thus far been able to prevent adequate
legislation requiring safety appliances.
Only one path is open to bring the COM
pan1eS to a consciousness of their re-
sponsibility for human life and limb,
and that is in the damages assessed by
juries. Nothing will bring reform more
quickly than for every jury to assess
the heaviest possible damages which will
pass the courts above in every case
where a trolley company is responsible.
The courts by hedging about these acci-
dents by 'contributory negligence" have
relieved these corporations of many
damages which are equftably though
not legally due. But jurfes can do much
to make it costly for a trolley company
to be economical in brakes and signal
apparatus and extravagant in human
life and limb.-Philadephia Press.

TROLLEY ROAD ACCIDENTS.
Some Startling Figures from New
York State Report.

C. r. Barnes of the New York rail-
road commission has laid before the
twentieth annual convention of the New
York Street Railway association ap
palling statistics of the accidents caused
by trolley lines in that state. These
figures show that the accidents for the
last three years-1900. 1901, 1902-were 10
per cent of the mileage. In other words,
in 1901, with 1886 miles of road, there
were 100 persons killed and 867 persons
injured and as many in the other years.
If the same proportion of persons were
killed on steam railroads. the death bill
for the year for the mileage of the
United States would be about 10000, the
number injured about 100 900. This ter
rible butchers bill goes on without ceas-
ing and has been in progress, as Mr..
Barnes's figures show, for three years
without change and with increase rather

COAL STORED AWAY.
10000 Tons of Anthracite Hid Near
the City.

New York. Nov. 22.-While New York
and neighboring cities are in urgent
need of COAL one railroad alone has 3d.
900 tons of anthracite of assorted sizes
stored within eight miles of this city.
Coal dealers claim that they are I'M
able to get anthracite in any quantity
and point to their empty yards to sup
port their statements.
Householders are thankful to pay any
price to secure fuel.and do not question
the statement that there is practically
no coal being received at the New York
terInini of the coal carrying railroads.
The report that the railroads in the
interest of wholesale dealers nave been
withholding the supply that has been
mined has been strenuously denied
again and again.
Coal is being rushed to the consumer
as raDidiy as it is received from the
mines" declare the coal barons.
Convinced that New York and neigh
boring cities have not been receiving
their full share of the recent coal out
put, and that the shortage could be ex-
planned, an investigation was made.
Thirty thousand tons of coal were dis
covered stored on the Jersey Meadows
on the outskirts of Secaucus.
This property is owned by the Della
ware, Lacl.awanna & Western railroad
company. Six lines of track extend
from the county road to the Hackensack
river, distance of over a mile.
Yesterday morning four of the six
tracks from a point 100 feet from the
road to the river were crowded with
coal cars-nearly four miles of coal cars,
and New York, Jersey City and Ho-
boken suffering for coal!
The yardmen declared that over 1000
cars filled with coal were sidetracked
on that one stretch of meadows. The
cars were of all styles and sizes, none
carrying less than twenty tons and
hundreds having a capacity of forty
