IF USED IN THE MANUFACTURE
OF oLEoMARGARiNE.
SENATE PASSED THE BILL
Placing Tax Of 10 Cents Per Pound
On coIored oIeomargarine and
A%duIterated Butter.

Washington, April Sat the con
clusion Of a lively debate today the
senate passed the oleomargarine bill
by vote Of 80 to 81. The discussion
was largely in the nature Of reinforce
ment Of arguments previously advanc-
ed.
Spooner Of Wisconsin made the
principal speech, maintaining that con-
gress had ample authority to enact
the proposed legislation, because 1t
was in the interest OF the people.
In an earnest protest against the
measure, Vest of Missouri held that
congress was invading the powers of
the states.
Scott Of West Virginia moved to
recommit the measure to the commit
tee, holding that it was unsatisfactory
to many senators and ought to be
perfected. The motion was defeat
ed, SO to 81.
During the afternoon a perfect food
Of kilograms poured into the senate
from all parts Of the country, urging
senators either to support or to OPP
pose the measure.
The measure as passed by the sen.
ate differs in some respects from that
passed by the representatives. It pro-
vides that oleomargarine and kindred
products shall be subject to all laws
and regulations Of any state or terri
tory or the District Of Columbia, into
which they are transported, whether
in original packages or otherwise;
that any person who sells ~oleomarga-
rine or furnishes it for the use Of
others, except to his w family, who
shall mix with it any artificial colora-
ton that causes it to- look like but
ter, shall be held to be a manufactur-
err and shall be subject to the tax pro-
vided by the existing law; that upon
oleomargarine colored so as to resem-
BILE butter a tax of 10 cents a pound
shall be paid; upon oleomargarine not
colored the tax shall be one-fourth Of
one cent per pound; that upon adul-
terated butter a tax Of 10 cents per
pound shall be levied; and upon all
process or renovated butter the tax
shall be o~ne-fourth of one cent per
pound. Manufacturers Of process or
renovated or %adulterated butter shall
pay an annual tax Of 5000, wholesale
dealers shall pay a tax Of $3.50, and re.
tail dealers a tax OF $4S per annum
The a provides regulations
for the collection Of the tax and pre-
scribes infinitely how the various pro-
ducts are to be prepared for market.

LONG STRIKE PROMISED.
Ten Thousand Miners. Are Idle !
Pennsylvania.


Dubois. Pa, April 3.-All of the BIZ
luminous miners OF the Rochester &
Pittsburg Irion and Coal comapny are
idle. The resolutions declaring for a
strike were obeyed by all of the men
and 10000 miners are idle. The final
clause OF the strike resolution reads:
"No settlement Of the question in dis
pute shall be recognized unless anc
toned by the properly authorized com.
mittee and the officials of the organi-
zation." This means that the men will
insist on recognition of tho miners
union and is also interpreted as indi-
eating a long struggle as the Rochester
& Pittsburg company has always re-
fused to recognize union leaders and
has insisted upon dealing with its en-
ployes as individuals.
Not a mine of the Rochester &
Pittsbury Coal & Iron company was
worked today. President Gilday, Sec
retary Gilbert and National Officers
Mckay and Rice are in conference
at Clearfield. They telegraphed for
National President Mitchell, but he
answered that he was unable to visit
this district at present. Several of
the small operatives at Cambria, who
did not attend the Altoona convention
and who do not feel bound by the &C.
ton of the large operators, have fail.
ed to sign the scale. The miners pro-
pose to give them a time limit, at the
end Of which, IL the scale is not sign.
ed. the men will be called out.
Three hundred men employed in a
mine at Hastings quit work yesterday
because the operator, James l.. Mitch.
ell, refused to sign the scale unless
the check-off clause was eliminated.
The miners of the Buffalo, Rochester
& Pittsburg Coal company are well
organized with much financial
strength behind them, and they ex.
press confidence in their ability to put
up a long fight II necessary. Notices
were posted at the Buffalo, Rochester
& Pittsburg railway carshops in Du.
bois today, ordering the closing of
the shops until the strike has been
settled. This will throw 400 mechanics

HOUSE INVESTIGATION.
Abner Mckinley the First Witness
Before Committee.

Before Committee.
Washington, April 3.-The first wit
ness in the house investigation Of the
Danish West Indies charges was Alb
ner Mckinley, who said he once met
Captain Christmas, in a most casual
way, but never had any business con.
ference of any sort with him, nor had
he ever talked with him regarding the
Danish West Indies, nor had he ever
mentioned the subject to his brother,
when president. Hanson had desired
to retain his services in connection
with the matter but he declined and
had lever conversed with anyone else
on the subject.
Mr.. Hansen, the next witness, gave
his business as attorney at law, New
York. He said Christmas told him
in 1899 Of a movement to sell the
Danish islands to the United States
and of Dennark's willingness to pay
literally in case of sale. Christmas
desired Hansen to act as counsel. Wit
ness called on Abner Mckinley and
asked him II he would become asso-
ciate counsel.
Mckinley replied that he (Hansen)
ought to know that he mckinley
would not be retained on any negotia-
ton in which the government was
concerned. Mckinley told him also Of
showing a mar out OF his Office who
had sought to bring up the question Of
a government appointment in com
nection with legal business. Hansen
had urged, he said, that acquisition Of
the islands was in line with this gov
ernment's policy but Mckinley would
have nothing to do with the matter.

congress, which vas opened here to-
