Indications That the Present Session
Will End by July q.
Washington, June 23.-Congress will
almost certainly adjourn before the
Fourth of July. There is the usual talk
of delay, but as a matter fact there
is no serious difference of opinion be-
tween the two houses now the Cuban
situation is disposed of for the time be-
ing. Senator Allison, whose position as
chairman of the senate committee on
appropriations practically makes him the
dictator on such things, believes that
congress will be ready to adjourn by
July 8.
This viii give nearly two weeks. and
there is an abundance of time, espe-
cially if few night sessions are in
dulged in.
There are some differences of opinion
which seem at first serious like that of
the army bill, but after the date Of adj
iournment has once been fixed by joint
resolution the opposing views will be re-
conciled soon. About the only leader
who seems to think the adjournment
will be late one is Representative Hull
of Iowa. chairman of the military COM
mittee, who said today:
Congress will not adjourn till about
July 10. Many members say We will
adjourn before independence day. l do
not agree with them. There is serious
disagreement between the house and
senate over an item in the army appro-
priation bill. There has not been Il con-
ference between committees represent
ing the two branches of congress on this
measure, altho it passed both houses
more than three weeks ago.
Another thing that will delay adj
journment for a week beyond the time
many believe it will take place is the
Philippines bill. The two houses of con-
gress are wide apart on this question,
and the differences are serious. 1t will
require some days for the conferees to
reach an agreement, and the bill will
not be adopted by the house until
Thursday or Friday of next week."

BREACH OF PROMISE $4,000.
Result of Texans Housekeeper Oh
iectino to MARRIAGE.


New York, June 23.-Christian Bal
duff, of Texas, loved Mrs. Aimee G.
Mercer, of Jamaica, L. 1. A sheriff's
jury in Long Island City told Balduf
10 pay Mrs. Mercer $4,000 for breach
of promise. The Texans excuse is that
when he told his housekeeper Of his
love in Jamaica she upset the house
and, seating herself on the wreck, an
nounced that she alone would COM
mand the ranch. He tried to break the
news gently to Mrs. Mercer, but she
couldn't see it the same way he did,
and the $4,000 verdict against him is
the result. Evidence produced before
the jury tended to show that Mr.. Bal
duff was worth 100000, that he was
q Spectator in cattle, hides and wool,
and his letters indicated that he
travelled in style. In her testimony
the plaintiff said he was always &C
companied by a valet. Several times

him to this city, and it was upon a

couple met and became engaged May

derous attack upon the American army
in the Philippines, made at garden
party given by q church near here Sat
urday night, started a desperate fight
which is likely to cost four lives. One
man is dead, and three Others including
the traducer of the soldiers and n dis
charged regular recently returned from
Manila, who defended the name of the
military, are probably fatally wounded.
The ARRAY caused the greatest con-
sternation in the crowd gathered at the
party. Firearms and knives were used
and dozens of men about the place be-
sans or peacemakers, before quiet was
restored.
The dead: -SSif Js4s,4,
Kennedy, John, aged As. f-'g'T q
The injured:
Barger, AlonZo, stabbed twenty
times; cannot recover.
Hobbs, Charles. badly cut about the
face, neck and breast.
Monday, Lincoln, stabbed; jugular
vein almost severed.
Rivalry for the favor Of young wo-
man had part in bringing about the
encounter. Monday the successful
sutton had incurred the enmity of Bar
ger, who had as supporters Hobbs and
Kennedy. The quarrel began with a
mild exchange of personalities. Then
Barger said:
1.-TWO thirds Of the American soldiers
who went to the Philippines were hood
lums and the other third were towards
and bullies.'
Monday, who served three years in
the archipelago as a member of the
Ninth Infantry, and who is a survivor
of the massacre of Company c at Bal
angiga, Samar, sprang to his feet and
gave Barger the lie. The latter, encour-
aged by Hobbs, repeated his charge and
started to attack him.
Before those near the combatants
realized the seriousness of the affair
Barger and Hobbs had drawn sheath
knives and began slashing about them
with the evident purpose of injuring
and any who might come TO his
assistance.
Monday drew pocketknire, and, re-
treated slowly, fought his assallants
inch by inch until he was backed up
against stone fence, where he made
stand. A partisan of Barger slipped to
his side and stealthily knocked his knife
from his hand.
BY this time each of three principals
was cut in a dozen places and bleeding
profusely. Weak from loss of blood and
sinking to the ground, Monday man
aged to secure his pistol and empty it at
his assailants. Kennedy fell at the first
shot. The rest fed, those who We're Sc
riously hurt being assisted by their fell
lows.
The ARRAY has aroused much feeling,
and if Monday should die there is dam
ger that some of the disturbers may be
lynched

THREE MEN DROWNED IN LAKE,
chicagoans in Party Tipped From

Armour { Company Find a Way
to Evade the Oleomargarine
Tax Law.
Customers Given Capsule OF Col
0ring Matter With Each
Pound OF 0ieo.
Imitation OF Butter Can Be Served
Without Technical Violation
OF the Law.

Chicago, June "a Hand colored

ular after July l.. The promoters and
sponsors for this class of art will be
Armour & Co.
Housewives and cooks who have
feared that the 10 cents a pound tax
placed by congress on the colored arti-
Gle would make the price rprohibitive
reed have no cause for alarm. They
can still serve the golden imitation of
the genuine country product but they
will have to color it themselves with
the contents of a little capsule that is
to go with each pound.
Congress decided that colored but
terine was running the dairy business
of the country and therefore imposed
the 10-cent tax. 1t also provided that
if hotel men and boarding house keep
ers tinted the oleomargarine they used
they, too, would have to pay the tax.
Butterine men, however. found that
private families could not be reached
by the tax if the housewife or cook I'M
Gertook the artistic finishing and color
ing.
Then Armour & Co. put their chem
lists to work and they prepared cap
sule to hold the coloring. Other man
ufacturers have been busy trying to
find solution of the difficulty, but this
is the first that has been offered. 1t
was made public in a circular sent out
from the ArmourS' Kansas City plant,
which reads:
"a 10-cents a pound tax on colored
oleomargarine is practically prohibi-
tive; therefore, we recommend the un-
colored article, and trust the many
friends of oleomargarine will promptly
adopt it's use. While hotels, restau-
rants and boarding houses can not buy
uncolored butterine and color it, yet q
family is not restricted from doing So
We will furnish dealers with coloring
in capsules for this purpose. A house
wife can color oleomargarine to suit
her fancy"
Just how this system will be accepted
by the housewives is yet a question.
Many of them have been secretly
teaching their husbands the oleo habit
ard would rather pay for the real but
ter than go to the trouble of tinting the
uncolored article themselves. Others,
the manufacturers claim, will look with
approval on the scheme. as it gives
them a chance to make oleo look like
dairy butter, especially when the lat
ter is high.
In spite of the effort to circumvent
the law. feeling of unrest prevails
among butterine men. E. F. Robbins,
OF the Friedman Butterine Company,
and G. P. Braun, of Braun & Fits, ex-
press fear that possibly the law will
kill the industry.
"The measure is vicious one" said
Mr.. Robbins, land it looks as If the
manufacturers will have to try and sell
the uncolored product. Whether this
can be made to go or not is problem.
A move such as this one of Armour's
is to be praised, and 1 believe will be
followed by all of the larger houses"
Mr.. Braun laughed when the scheme
was told to him, but said 1T looked good
on it's face. He, too, said 1t would be

WHEATON BACK FROM MANILA.
Says American Occupation of Islands
Has Saved Thousands Of Lives.

San Francisco, Cal, June 23.-Major
General Lloyd Wheaton, of the United
States army, landed here yesterday,
after three and a half years hard serv-
ice in the Philippines. General Whea-
ton would not talk on the charges of
cruelty made against American soldiers
in the Philippines, but he made this
statement as showing what American
occupation meant:
"The devastations of war have cost
many lives, and the loss among natives
has no doubt been very large, but when
one takes into consideration the hun
dreds of thousands OF lives that have
been saved by reason of sanitary pre-
cautions of the American army and
civil commission, that loss by war
seems infinitesimal.
Smallpox became epidemic soon
after the American took Manila and
would have caused frightful mortality
among the natives as we'll as among the
troops but for the regulations and pre-
cautions of the medical authorities of
cur army. Compulsory vaccination
was held in every province, town, and
thruout the country. In that way we
saved many thousands of lives. In Cen
eral Bells department 100000 We're
yaccinated.
Later, when the bubonie plague
seemed bound to obtain foothold in
the Philippines, the army stamped it
cut by determined action. AT present
cholera is raging and 1 believe the
health officers have the disease we'll I'M
der control. These dangers have been
met and overcome by the Americans
and half million of lives have been
saved by the presence of the Ameri-
cans in the Philippines
