washington, April 25.-rn the senat,
today Mr.. McCumber IN, d.. chair
man OF the committee Of manufac
lures, spoke on the bill ITO prevent tn,
adulteration. misbranding and imlta,
tions OF food beverages, candles, drug,
and condiments in the District OF Col.
umbla and the territories, and for reg.
uating Interstate commerce therein
The object Of his address, he said, was
10 convince the senate Of the very
great Importance of the subject to the
American people.
For a quarter Of century, said Mr..
McCumber nearly every state In the
Union had been struggling with the
question OF procuring pure foods. Ex-
perence had proved that It had been
impossible to obtain uniformity In state
laws. This bill attempted TO regulate
the sale OF only such foods as entered
Into Interstate commerce, and the
Congress, therefore. had ample oppor-
tnulty to deal with the subject. He de-
cared that the extent of the adulter-
alton and misbranding of food products
and foods was appalling. The time had
come for Congress TO act. He enumer-
ated many OF the frauds in food pro-
ducts which, he said, were crimes
against the consumer and merchant
alike.
The amount of deleterious foods
placed on the markets every year was
valued at fully s1,1700 900. while the
total amount Of adulterated food pro-
ducts was nearly $4,000 900. He ex-
pressed the belief. based upon evidence
taken by his committee, that manufac-
turers and dealers generally would not
object to the enactment of the bill pro-
posed.
Mr. Plat OF Connecticut, chairman
Of the committee on relations with
Cuba, reported from that committee n
substitute for the resolution offered
few days ago by Mr.. Teller, the sub
stitute providing for an investigation
by the committee of the holdings OF
Cuban sugar and Of Cuban sugar lands
by Americana citizens. the committee
TO have authority TO send for persons
and papers and to sit during sessions
OF the senate. The resolution was re-
ferred to the committee on contingent
expenses.
CARMACK ON PHILIPPINES.
At o'clock the unfinished business |
the Philippine government bil-was |
laid before the senate. Mr. CarmaclS |
OF Tennessee. member OF the Phil |
ippine committee. addressed the SEN
ate in opposition to the measure.
Mr.. Csrmack said that the bill, like |
the Philippine tariff bill, simply pre- |
scented the aspect of imperialism. II |
was not question only OF framing Just
laws for the Fllipinos, but n question
Of right TO make II with the blood of
the people
THE claim Of the Republicans" said
he, Is that they have burned enough
towns, wasted enough and killed enough
people to make good their right. The
land Is ours because we have strewn It
with the ashes Of It's homes and drench-
ed II with the blood Of the people,"
Opponents cf this policy denied that
we had derived any Just powers OF gov
eminent from the subiugation OF the
governed. and that was the real issre
II this debate. In the former debate, !
