the State by a large majority. The meetings
OF DIR. George G.. Pardee. Republican candidate
Tor Governor have been largely attended and
much enthusiasm has been shown. Pardee is
making a campaign that appeals To- every
FARMER, fruit grower and mechanic in CaIifor-

mean immediate tariff tinkering, which would
inJure every farmer and manufacturer In the
STATE Against such arguments Franklin Lane
democratic candidate, has nothing 10 present
except attacks on trusts. Lane has cut loose en-
uFeiy from his party platform and declares that
national issues have nothing to do with the
state campaign. He Is having trouble with the
Union Labor party. which indorsed him for Gov
ernor and the dissensions in the ranks of his
supporters are unprecedented in any previous
campaign The Union Labor party is making
desperate efforts TO defeat Kahn for Congress in
the INth District and Loud in the Vth District
IL Is urged against Kahn that he merely repre
sents corporations. and against Loud that he has
been active in opposing a raise OF wages of letter

Chicago. oct. 1O-The University OF Chicago
Is fast approaching the dimensions of town by
itself, for on its grounds are rising many hand
some and commOdious buildings. Not only the
officers Of the institution but the students show
great pride in the strides the university is max
ing from the standpoint OF construction. on
the midway campus there are buildings in va
rtous stages of construction. At the present time
eleven buildings are going up, two of them
being nearly ready for occupancy. which will
cost more than S1.7O00O0. Among the more
notable structures Is the Charles Hitchcock
Hall, also dubbed by the students "Millionaires'
Den" which is said 10 be one Of the finest dor
mitories for men i'm the country. The plans OF
this building are much more elaborate than for
any Of the other university structures. Another
new building which has just been occupied. but
IS not quite finished is the Press building This
is four stories high and built mainly Of pressed
brick. Not far from the Press home is fine

Congress candidates of both parties are wroth
at the apathy Of both the Republican and Demo-
cratic Congress committees in Illinois as to
the election results. Naturally, the nominees
are saving some very emphatic but not compli-
mentarv things about the committeeman. The
sadness and madness in the Democratic camp are
due To the same old cause, that the committee
has no money. In Southern Illinois the Republi-
can Congress candidates are getting the cold
shoulder from the campaign committee, not
withstanding that "Uncle joe Cannon is the
Illinois member OF the committee. At any rate
the nominees so far have been unable to obtain

PRESS COMMENT BOTHERS
GOTHAM DELEGATION
REPORT ON "0UTAGE" BILL.
Committee Recommends Continuance of
Present Law as Fair and Equitable.

Mr.. Russell (Rep.. Conn., yesterday
presented to the House the report upon
the outage" bill ordered Tuesday to be
made by the Committee on Ways and
Means.
The present law on the subject directs
that allowance he made for outage" by
evaporation of spirits placed in bond prior
to January 1. 1899, during a period OF
seven years Spirits bonded since that
date, however. have that privilege only
for a period OF four years
All spirits are permitted to remain in
bond period OF eight years. and the in
tent of the bill Is to extend the outage
period of seven years to all spirits ire
spective of the date on which they were
placed in bond.
The report states that the difference in
seven-year period and after the four-year
period is s4.95, and argues that it has
never been the policy of the Government
to impose taxes upon anything that does
not enter into consumption.
In conclusion the report says:
This bill continues a policy of fair and
honorable dealing with an industry which
is recognized as a legitimate and honor
able one. and 1t preserves in fair and
honorable dealing a full recognition of
revenue receipts to the Government 1t
besides makes the illegitimate and fraud
ulent engagement in the industry more
difficult and precarious. and insures. so

betterment OF the product

Measure Not Disposed 0f-Bill Made
Special Order to Get 1t Before
House-Mr. Cowherd Protests.

The House yesterday took up the Sem

bill, and. while the majority were con-
Cured in. an adjournment was taken be-
fore the measure was finally disposed of.
In order to get the bill as 1t came from
the Senate before the House it was neces-
sary for the Committee on Rules to report
a resolution making the bill special or
der This was vigorously attacked by the
opponents of the oleo bill.
Protests Against Rule.
Mr.. Cowherd Dem. MOI protested
against the rule, and in doing so again
took occasion to denounce the PROPOSE
ton to prevent the manufacture Of oleo-
margarine. What reason, he asked, was
there for the consideration OF a measure
whose only object was to destroy one
American industry for the benefit of an
other?

United States said Mr.. Cowherd. seems

He read price quotations to show that
the effect of the passage Of the bill in
the Senate was to increase the price OF
creamery butter. at the same time reduc
ing the price Of milk. which was the
product OF the farmer. There was no
scarcity of butter to justify the increase.
which had been greater. he said. than
that Of any other food product, and other
increases lad been due to scarcity of sup
ply on the market.
And now in order to facilitate the pas
sage of the bill in the House the price
OF butter had been reduced.
II was an outrage on legislation, Mr..
Cowherd said. that an order should be re-
ported for this bill when other more i'm
portant measures were neglected.
Resolution Agreed To.
The resolution was agreed to. 152 to 10.
and the House went into Committee OF
the Whole to consider the Senate amend
ments.
These amendments, said to be accep-

Agriculture. were advocated by Messrs.

All efforts to change the text OF the
Senate amendments. save in the few rela-

mended by the Committee on Agriculture,
were futile.
Without concluding consideration OF

ADOPTION OF METRIC
SYSTEM ADVOCATED
To Encourage Use in
Common Affairs Of Life.

The use of the metric sys-
TEN in Government calcula-

and Measures.
1t is proposed by this means
to familiarize the people with
metric tables and encourage
their use in the common affairs
of life.
The present system is char
acterized as confusing, illogi-
cal, and irrational. The bene-
fits. the report asserts, will
more than compensate for the
Inconvenience and expense in
