ARE WORKING OVER TIME.
The oleomargarine Fact ,ries Have
 Greatly Increased Output


 Washington. June 19.-(Special) )-fhe demands now being made for information al revenue stamps to be used on oleo- margarine. indicate that all of the fac tories in the country are running day and night in an attempt to get as much as possible of their product in the hands of dealers before July 1. the date on which the new oleomargarine law becomes eff fective.
 It is estimated that the supply in ware houses on the date named will be suffi- cient to meet the demands for six months to come. The price of the product will be raised eight or ten cents per pound. thus placing it at about the figure deal CTS who pay the 1O-eent tax would be compelled to ask.
 In the meantime. prices of butter are going up rapidly Butter is now selling on the local market at a price cents per pound higher than a month ago, and after the new law becomes effective. prices will go still higher There is every reason to believe that the constitutional ity of it will be given an early test in the courts.

HAS COST $l7O,32b,5Sb
EXPENSES OF THE ARMY IN
 THE PHILIPPINES.
Secletary Root Answers Senate Resolution Calling for State ment--Part of ExpeD:..ure
 Necessary During Peace.

Waschington. June 19.-Secretary Root today made answer to the Senate resolu- ton of April F. calling for information as to the cost of the war in the Philip pines.
 Fifty thousand dollars was advanced for the expenses of the Philippine Com mission originally from the United States treasury. but this amount afterwards was reimbursed out of the Philippine treas ury.
 The cost of the Philippine war. in- cluding outstanding obligations up to date. is $l7o.326.5s6.
 Secretary Root concludes with the fol- lowing explanation:
 Attention Is invited to the fact that large quantities of valuable property still remains in the Philippine Islands for use. Parts of these supplies are already being reshipped to this country.
 "A large part of the expense during the past year should not properly be treated as occasioned by military opera tions in the Philippine Islands. It con- sists of pay and maintenance of troops whom we would have had to pay and maintain whether they were in the Phil- ippines or not, in order to keep up the minimum number of regular troops re- ouired by law as a safeguard against fu- ture contingencies. We have now less than 100o0 in excess of the minimum number of troops which must be main- tained under the law
 ''The cost of that excess only is prop erly to be treated as occasioned by oper- ations in the Philippines.
 The present scale of expenses in the Philippines is. Of course. greatly reduced now. because of the continued reduction of the army made possible by the res toration of peaceful conditions. When all the troops which have been ordered home leave the islands. the force in the Philippines will have been reduced to IS, ,O0o.''

ALBERT OF sAxoNY DEAD.
Last of Generals Who Commanded
 German Army of 1870.

0CAAhah &AAAAy VI AS'Os
 Dresden. Saxony. June 19.-King Albert of Saxony died today. He was the last of the generals who commanded the Ger man army of 1870.
 As his majesty grew older. he shared in the idealization which influenced the group of great statesmen who surrounded William I of Germany. His sober life produced few incidents in the Protestant country which he ruled, and his unobstru- sive support of his own church. the Roman Catholic, never caused conflict with popular opinion. It Is understood that Emperor William will at once sus- pend his tour of the Rhine and return to Berlin to take part in the funeral of the dead king.
 He could hardly be called one of the empire makers. for it was his father. King Johann who brought Saxony into the empire. but with her own active as- sent. That the lata king had considera- ble military capacity Is shown by the fact that he had an independent command in the Franco-Prussian war. King Albert contributed tn the foundation of the empire, and although he fought against the Prussians in the war of 1886. he im- mediately reconcIied himself to the situa- ton and supported Prussia.s political and military aspirations.
 King Albert, because of his illness had designated his eldest brother, Prince George, to he his representative in the affairs of state. The king of Saxony had no children and consequently Prince George, his eldest brother. is heir to the throne of SaXony.

LET THE NEGROES ALONE.
Democrats Say Congress Should Not
 Dabble In Race Matter

Washington. June 19.-The Democratic members of the House committee late today led a minority report on the bill creating a commission to inquire into the status of the negro race.
 The minority says that there does not seem to be the slightest necessity for the creation of this commission. nor for considering the status of the negro race apart from other races.
 ''The negro race can never reach its full development says the report. until 1t Is permitted by the Government to work out it's destiny. as do the other races with which 1t comes in contact"
 The report further asserts that the real object of the inquiry Is covertly to se- cure the investigation proposed by the Crumpacker resolution. Such inquiries 1t Is stated, are not of advantage to the great bulk of the negroes. and benefit only those who make merchandise of their politics. It is urged also that the progress of the mass of the negroes in the South good will of the whites among whom they live

PHILIPPINE BILL DISCUSSED.
Opening Day of Weeks Debate 'r
 the House.

Washington. June 19.-The opening day of the weeks debate on the Philippine government bill In the House was signalized by a remarkably strong and exhaustive speech by MT. Cooper CWis) chairman of the Committee on Insular Affairs. Much of the speech was gen. eral defense of the policy pursued by the administration. He contended that the problem of the Philippines should not be party question; that both parties brought on the war with Spain, and the votes of members of both parties ratified the treaty which made the island Ameri- can territory. The most telling portion of his speech was the parallel he drew between the present attitude of the op- position with its attitude during and pre- ceding the Spanish war.
 MT. Jones (Va.) the ranking member of the minority of the committee. made an able presentation of the Democratic posi- tion. but he yielded the floor after speak, ing for about an hour and will resume tomorrow morning.
 The order for night sessions was vacated for this evening as no one was prepared to speak.

ITALY MUCH ANNOYED
cRowNINsHIELD,s REVIEW DIs-
 PLEASES AMBASSADOR.
Cabinet Will Discuss the Matter To- day and Consider Whether Any Punishment Shall Be
 Meted Out.

Washington, June 19.-Sgnor Mayor Des Ranches. the Italian Ambassador. was one of the callers at the State De- partment today. this being diplomatic day, and took advantage of the oppor- tunity to express to Acting Secretary of State Hill, the very considerable amount of annoyance caused him by the publi- cation of the findings of the court of in- quiry which investigated the case of the American naval officers of the Chicago. imprisoned at Venice.
 The doctor listened sympathetically to the Ambassadors representations, for the administration here has done all 1t could to minimize the Venetian incident and has sought to prevent further publica- tions of details in the interest of good feeling.
 At. pr. HilPs suggestion, the Ambassa- dor saw Secretary Moody. rather un- usual proceeding, for 1t is the rule for diplomatic representatives to confine their exchanges to the State Department.
 At the conclusion of this conference, Secretary Moody repaired to the State Department and had private talk with Dr. Hill. None of the participants in the conferences care to state the nature of the proceedings. It Is believed, however. that Secretary Moody is about to insti- tute strict inquiry to ascertain how the report of the Chicago court of Inquiry gained publicity and the subject will be discussed at the cal binet meeting tomor- row.
 Without a fuller knowledge of the facts than is now had here. it Is not possible for the officials to pass an opinion as to -.L .4& ion rf "a courts findings constitute an offense un- der the naval regulations for which any one can be punished, for it is probable that the commander In chief of the sta ton himself was, according to the or dirary rule. Is at liberty to make such publications unless specially instructed not to do so It is evident, however, that the end has not yet come to this affair. Captain Dayton has not yet applied for court of inquiry and 1t Is now felt that he may not do so. notwithstanding Ad- miral Crowninshield's severe criticism. Some feeling must have developed as the result of the criticism and unless the vessels of the European squadron are kept widely separated It may be neces- sary in the interests of the service to make some changes in the commands.
 The ambassado was particularly con- cerned at the publication of Admiral Crowninshield's reference to the revolt ing indignities" from which the Ameri- can prisoner suffered while in jail. The Italian government has taken the ground that there was nothing exceptional in the treatment of these prisoners and that statement was accepted without question by he authorities here. Secretary Moody today received the full records of the court of inquiry. It is not the present purpose of the Secretary to make public my nnrtion of the record.
