Under the agreement made last week the
remainder of the day was devoted to the
consideration Of bills from the committee
on war claims.
Rills We're favorably acted upon to refer
to the Court of Claims the claims of Jeron-
emus s. Cnderhil for additional compen-
sation for the construction of the monitor
Modoc, amounting to $4,000. and of the
Atlantic works Of Boston for the building of
the monitor Casco. These monitors were
built during the civil war, and the claims
have been pending In Congress for twenty
eight years.
The Vote Analysed.
Mr.. c. y. knight. secretary of the Ma
tional Dairy Union. in analyZng the vote
Of the House on the oleomargarine bill to-
day. said:
THE bill as passed is a great improve
ment over the measure of a year ago in
many ways. 1t completely shuts the door
against fraud. The process butter amend
ment will. | believe meet with the approval
OF every dairyman in the United States, and
had II been separate proposition | do not
believe there would have been ten votes
against the bill The opposition was all
because of a fear that the amendment
might cause delay in the Senate committee
because OF the necessity of going into hear
ings for the process butter people. But |
do not believe a process butter man In the
United States will appear against it.
The WadSU orth substitute today received
H. votes. Last year it received 113 votes
on roll cal. The majority against the sub
sttute year ago was n, and TODAY A.
There are two reasons for this; first. many
OF our friends We're away and impaired, and
second. there We're no petitions and protests
against the substitute at this time. When
the Grout bin was under consideration In
the House December Z. 1900. protests
against the substitution Of Mr.. Wads-
worth S measure came In by the thousands
This year we felt safe in the hands Of our
friends. and thought they would stand by
us without being cautioned against this
substitute.
Then again. the petitions which came
In from misguided dairymen calling upon
their congressman to stand by the Grout
bill exactly as 1t passed the House at the
last session caused number to go against
the present measure when ii was amended
as was necessary for it's perfection. There
would. however have been fully 200 votes
for the bill upon final passage despite the
tremendous opposition OF It's opponents.
Il think the process butter feature OF the
bill will strengthen it rather than weaken
II in the Senate, as our friends fear as 1t
VIII leave no grounds for charge OF DIS
elimination between what Is claimed to be
two frauds in the butter line. Had this
amendment not been adopted a separate
bill would certainly have been reported, as
there is great demand for such a law
