SENATE PASSES OLEo BILL.
Provisions Of the Measure Which
Differs From That Passed
by the House.

Washington, April AT the con-
clusion of lively debate yesterday
the senate passed the oleomargarine
bill by a vote of 80 to 81.
The discussion was largely in the
nature OF a reinforcement Of argu-
ments previously advanced. Mr..
Spooner, OF Wisconsin. made the
principal speech. maintaining that
congress had ample authority to en-
act the proposed legislation because
it was in the interest Of the people. 4
In an earnest protest against the
measure Mr.. Vest, Of Missouri, held
that congress was invading the pow
ers of the states. Mr.. Scott, Of West
Virginia, moved to recommit the
measure to the committee, holding
that it was unsatisfactory to many
senators and ought to be perfected.
The motion was defeated, 35 to 81.
During the afternoon o perfect
flood Of kilograms poured into the
senate from all parts Of the country,
urging senators either to support o"
to oppose the measure.

NOT ENOUGH RELIEF GIVEN.
Congressman Mcclellan Files the
Minority Report on the Cuban
Reciprocity Measure.

Washington, April THE first 0.
the minority reports ION the Cuban
reciprocity bill was fled yesterday
BY Representative Mcclellan, Of New
York, Of the ways and means commit
tee, who argues that the bill gives
Cuba much less in the way OF relief
than she is justly entitled to. He
cites the Teller resolution and tn 2
Plat amendment as establishing our
assurances to Cuba and the world.
Mr.. Mcclellan sums up his position
as follows:
First, the bill does not afford suf-
fcient relief TO C4ba, but it minimizes
the loss OF the present crop OF sugar
second, it Is possible, but not Ger
tain, that 20 per cent reduction of
the Cuban tariff will result in giving
Us monopoly OF the Cuban market
third, the bill is an enunciation OF
the Democratic doctrine of reciproc
ity; it is a breach in the wall of pro-
lection, and lowers in part the pre-.
posterous Dingley rates.
IF am afforded the opportunity
when the bill comes before the com.
mittee Of the whole, I shall try t.
amend 1t by increasing the rate OF
reduction so as to make certain not
only the control Of the Cuban market
by US, but also the prosperity OF
Cuba. l shall also try to amend b.
striking out the time limit. Failing
to amend, for the reasons here stat
ed, shall vote for the bill.'
New York, April At. Estrada
Palma. president-elect of the Cuban
republic, addressed the New York
chamber of commerce yesterday Mr.
Palma said he hoped for a reciprocal
commercial treaty to the end that
Cuba should become the largest mar
ket in America for the products OF
the United States, and that this coun
try raise the bar now placed against
the Cuban products, especially sugar
and tobacco. which are the principal
staples of the island After SenoI
Palma's speech a vote of thanks was
extended to him, and a resolution YVES
offered by Francis B. Thurber in f.
vor of a so per cent reduction in thc
present Cuban tariff. The resolution
was referred to the committee on for

Attorney General Elkin's Opin-
ion on the Assignment Of
Claims for Debt.
PENALTY FOR THE ASSICNORs.
Debtors Against Whom Claims Ars
Pressed for Payment May Then Re-
tors-Warning 20 Merchan

Harrisburg, April 4.-Attorney Geu-
eral Elkin gave as his legal opinion
that under the act Of 1887, relating
to the assignment of claims, if the
West Virginia claim agency presses
the writs Of attachment OF wages
against railroaders and compels the
railroad companies to pay the debt,
the railroaders may proceed against
the merchants or other creditors
making assignment Of their claims,
and, under the law, recover from
them as a penalty the full amount of
debt, interest and costs so collected.
Some time ago B. Frank Snavely,
G. A. Johnson and other employees of
the Pennsylvania Railroad company,
wishing to ascertain what legal right
the West Virginia collection agency
had to hold up the wages of railroad
employees in this city, Altoona and
other points along the Pennsylvania
line, for debt, sent letter to Attor-
ney General Elkin. stating the case
and asking his opinion on the sub
ject. Mr.. Elkin concludes his opinion
as follows:
This whole system Of making col.
lections is vicious, savors of sharp
practice, and should not be encour
aged 1t seems to me that when our
merchants and other creditors fully
understand the true character of the
suits instituted, and the penalty
which they must pay in case such
are pressed against them. they will
refrain from making assignments Of
claims for this purpose"

sEAcE CONVENIENCE pEApLocK
Beers Still Have Many Points Of DIFF.
ference With Enqland.

Pretoria. May 27.-The prevalence
throughout South Africa of the optl.
mistic feeling in regard TO the peace
negotiations is hardly based upon solid
facts. The protraction of the confer
ence at Vereeniging is not necessarily
a hopeful sign.
The delegates TO the conference, al
though they have abandoned their
hopes of securing independence. still
have many points OF difference with
the government, while an obstinate
minority continue to regard the re-
sumption OF hostilities as the best
outcome of the present situation. and
at any moment these points OF differ
ence may be accentuated into a re-
fusal TO continue the negotiations.
It is most unlikely that those who
are in favor of peace viii throw up
the sponge so long as a decent minor
ity is desirous of continuing the
struggle, and all these dissonant ele-
ments must be taken into account be
fore IL is possible to give any sort of
prediction as to the issue of the pres
ent negotiations.

SENATOR'S TALK
OVER LYNCH LAW
GaIliBger Would Have Fed
eraI Officers Investigate
Statistics Show There Have Been
1858 Lynchings in II Years,
Not Confined to South

Washington, May Pin the senate
yesterday Mr.. Gallinger, of New Hamp.
shire. offered a resolution instructing
the committee on judiciary to inquire
into the subject of lynching in the
United States, and to ascertain wheth.
er there is any remedy under the con.
stitution for the evil. Mr.. Gallinger
said he had no desire to revive sec.
tional controversy, for statisticsS
showed him that lynchings are not
confined. to the southern states. He
believed that there is urgent neces.
sity for interference by the strong
arm of the federal authority.
He quoted statistics to show that in
the past II years there had been 2,65S
lynchings, the increase each year over
the preceding year being striking. He
thought "Tox's Book of Martyrs" con.
tanned no such brutality as was mani.
tested in the recent burning of a col
ored man in Texas.
Mr.. Bailey, of Texas, said he had no
idea Of being drawn into any sectional
controversy by the senator from New
Hampshire and he would be willing
to have the people judge the men who
perpetrated such outrages. He de
sired, however, to discuss the Ques
ton whether the government had the
right to go into the several states and
take charge of the peace and good
order. He asked, therefore, that the
resolution go over.
"There can be no objection, said Mr..
Bailey, Ito a report from the judiciary
committee on the subject. because
am sure there can be but one con.
clusiOn reached by that committee
But if. in the course of its investiga
ton. It should undertake to parade be-
fore the country all the lynchings and
burnings that have occurred in any
section over a nameless offense, and
all the murders of women and chill
dren, and all the abductions which
have occurred in other sections of the
country, the only result, it seems to
me, would be to make us think less Of
ourselves as a people and as a nation
and have little disposition to indulge
in that pastime myself"
The resolution went over. Subse
uently Mr.. Culberson, of Texas, had
read the story of the burning of a
negro near Leavenworth, Kan, last
January, saying he wanted the fact
shown that these crimes occurred in
other states than Texas. He hoped
the New Hampshire senator when re
citing examples of these atrocities in
the future would not conine himself
to one state.
Hr Hoar, chairman of the judiciary
committee. said his committee had had
the subject under consideration, and
the bill considered had been reported
by him adversely The matter had
been considered as a question of con.
stitutional law and duty.
