Walding, Kinnan & Marvin,

At Washington the past week the
trend of affairs has been significant
rather than conclusive. The legislation
regarding the use and manufacture OF
oleomargarine is to be reported from
the House Committee on Agriculture
in more drastic form than the Grout
bill passed by the House last year. The
real fight will come when it gets to the
floor of the House and the conflicting
interests all of them claiming to b. In
the lines Of agricultural industry, be-
gin to make the fgh between "cow but
ter" and steer butter The cotton
seed oil industry will also have an Int.
crest at stake. The Urgent Deficiency
bill was passed on Friday, with little
interest in the debate beyond that by
the vote on the clause to provide shell
ter for the soldiers in the Philippines.
Although it was a republican meaaure
sixteen democrats voted for it. and the
action of one of them, Cummings of
New York, supplied dramatic touch
to the proceedings. AS he voted he ex
claimed when | refuse to vote for the
protection Of anAmericau soldier hope

his remark later, he jusulfed his atti-
tude by saying;"O con the spur of the mo.
ment I made the reply that did, and

The Navy Department still seems to
hold the centre of the stage, or as q
dramatic crit: said, "tries to carry the
centre Of the stage around with it,
Admiral SchIey's appeal to the Pres

Department for comment" so it gets
the last word in the CONTROVERSY after
all. Many of Schley partisans regret
that be did not let the matter drop af-
ter the Dewey minority report as they
cay he was at that time in the best po-
sltion he could hope for under present
conditions. Anothe: topic of note from
the big gray building next to the White
House is the refusal to retire Captain
Ho5son of "Merrlmac" fame. He de-
sired to be relieved from further active
duties on account Of injuries to his eyes.
His retirement pay would be $4,000 a
year. This action put quietus on the
political plans the young constructor is
said to have had unless ne resigns from
the navy altogether. Political wiseacres
said that be intended to run for Con-
gress from his native State, Alabama,
and that be wanted the retired pay to
