scribed a music teacher. newspaper man

sion of the negotiations. The witness said

he never knew such a thing to be done
There was absolutely no truth, the witness
said, in the Christmas report stating that
he Evans represented Representative
Gardner.
Asked by Mr.. Richardson as to what he
was TO do for the specified fee, Evans said

the interests of the matter. Certainly, he
said, there was element of bribery in
the transaction.

REVENUE CUTTER SERVICE.
Senate Bill Passed by the House by
1875 to 49,

As the result of a prolonged session of
the House yesterday, the Senate bill to pro-
mote the efficiency of the revenue cutter
service was passed by vote of 135 10 40.
The opponents of the measure fought it to
tie last ditch. At the very end they at
tempted a filibuster but were swept aside
by the overwhelming majority in favor OF
the measure.
The bill gives the commissioned officers
OF the revenue cutter service relative rank.
as follows: Captains. with majors in the
army and lieutenant commanders In the
navy: first lieutenantS. with captains In the
army and lieutenantS in the navy. second
lieutenants. with first lieutenants in the
army and Heutenants Gunior grade) in the
navy, and third leutenants, with second
G6utenGntS in the army and enSignS In the
navy. 1t gives the officers of the service
longevity pay equivalent to the correspond
ing rank in the army and provides for their
retirement with three-fOurths pay for dis
ability. or upon reaching the age limit of
sixty-fOur years.
An amendment was agreed to which pro-
v;ded that when naval and revenue cutter
vessels were thrown together the former
should never be under command of the
commander Of the latter. except by specific
direction Of the President of the United
States.
Mr. Shafroth (Col) moved to amend the
section providing for longevity pay equiva-
lent to the corresponding rank In the army
so as to provide for longevity pay equiva-
lent to the corresponding rank in the navy.
He declared that the provision to make the
longevity pay correspond to the army rank
was TO avoid the reduction Of pay given
naval officers when on shore duty. If reve-
nue. cutters received the same pay on shore
at sea, he said that at the next session
naval officers would be clamoring for the
same equality in their pay.
After some debate the amendment was
defeate 40 to 50.

THE oLEoMARGARINE BILL.
House Measure Passed by the Senate
With Some Amendments.

The oleomargarine bill was passed by the
Senate yesterday afternoon by vote of 80
to 81. The measure as passed by the Sen
ate differs in some respects from that
passed by the House of Representatives. 1t
provides that oleomargarine and kindred
products shall be subject to all the laws
and regulations of any state territory,
or the District of Columbia, into which they
are transported, whether in original pack
ages or otherwise; that any person VINO
sells oleOmargarine and furnishes it for
the use of others, except to his own family,
who shall mix with 1t any artificial colora
ton that causes it to look like butter shall
be held to be a manufacturer and shall be
subject to the tax provided by existing law;
that upon oleomargarine colOred so as to
resemble butter a tax of 10 cents pound
shall be levied, but upon oleomargarine not
colored the tax shall be one-fourth of one
cent per pound; that upon adulterat, but
ter a tax of 10 cents a pound shall be
levied, and upon all process or renovated
butter the tax shall be one-fourth of one
cent per pound. The manufacturers Of
process or renovated or adulterated butter
shall pay an annual tax of 5000, the whole
sale dealers shall pay tax of $3.50 and the
retail dealers a tax of $4S per annum. The
measure provides regulations for the col
lection of the tax and prescribes minutely
how the various products are to be pre-
pared for market.
of 81 to 35, as stated in The Star, Mr.. Har-
ris (Kan.) offered his amendment placing
a tax of 10 cents pound upon adulterated
butter and tax of one-quarter of one cent
a pound upon process or renovated butter
and providing regulations for the collection
of the taxes. After some discussion the
amendment was adopted, A to 20.
Mr.. Vest briefly stated some of his OBJ
jections to the proposed law. He declared
the bill was not intended as a revenue meas
ure, and he challenged any senator to say
| that it was. The measure, he said, was
simply parliamentary assassination of one
| industry by another.
| The verbal amendments suggested by Mr..
| Foraker earlier In the session then were
proposed and adopted

providing that wholesale dealers who vend

A Warning to the Administration

A Warning to the Administrator
The revolt of large number Of
republican members of the house OF
representatives against the attempt
to force the passage of bill de
parting from the policy Of protection
and reducing the duty on imports
from Cuba should be a warning to
the president and his administration.
President Roosevelt has been OK
ceptionally active in attempts to in
fuence congressional action, whereas
it would have been more in harmony
with the American ideas If he had
followed the example of President
Mckinley in leaving to congress un-
trammeled the full and free exercise
of its prerogatives.
The action of those rehublicans
who voted for the repeal of the diff
erential on refined sugar, and those
who subsequently voted against the
passage of the reciprocity bill, was
declaration to the administration and
the country that they would follow
no leadership in violation of one of
the fundamental principles Of the
party to which they belong.
The president is not the premier
of an American parliament to lead
in matters of Legislation and define
the policy of the party which placed
him in power. 10 congress belongs
the prerogative of originating legis.
lation and passing whatever bills
may receive its approval. The pre-.
rogative of the president in respect
to legislation is confined to his right
to veto measures that he does not
approve or to affix his signature to
those he may endorse.
The revolving republicans were in
line with the principles of their party
and true to the industrial interests
Of the country. They will have the
sympathy of vast majority of the
people who nave not been led astray
by the doctrine of free trade.
American industries have been de.
veloped under protective tariff,
and it was departure from sound
doctrine to ignore the welfare Of
beet-sugar production, which is as
much entitled to protection as the
numerous now prosperous industries
were when they were compelled to
face the fierce competition of foreign
manufacturers. Sheltered as it
should be behind protective tariff,
it would in a few years become self.
sustaining and independent.
The party will not tolerate a de.
parture from the principles for which
it stands, and the administration will
be wise to regard this, lest In course
Of time breach develop which may
endanger success in future cam
paigns.-Denver Republican.
