In the House.

fBy Associated Prcss.)
WASHINGTON, D. c., April 3.-The
Senate bill to promote the efficiency of
the revenue cutter service passed the
House to-day by a vote of 1875 to 49, The
opponents Of the measure fought it to
the last ditch. At the very END they at
tempted a filibuster. but were swept aside
by the Overwhelming majority in favor
of the measure.
The bill gives the commissioned officers
of the revenue cutter service relative rank
as follows:
Captains, with majors in the army and
lieutenant commanders in the navy; first
lieutenants, with captains in the army
and lieutenants in the navy; second-lieu-
tenants with lieutenants in the army and
lieutenants Gunior grade) in the navy,
and third lieutenants with second lieu
tenants in the army and ensigns in the
navy.
1t gives the officers of the service long
evity pay equivalent to the corresponding
rank in the army, and provides for tflei
retirement with three-fourths pay for dis
ability or upon reaching the age limit of
si1ty-four years.
Messrs. PadGett, of Tennessee; john
son, Of South Carolina: Shafroth, Of Col
bill, and Littlcfield, of Maine. and Hep
burn, Of Iowa, spoke in favor of the
measure Mr.. Hepburn created a. great
laugh by his description of Mr.. Mann
who, he said wanted to fight call the
time and everything

ton of souls'' said he, 81 expect that at
some future time the gentleman from Hi
nois will again appear on earth in the
semblance of mule with four legs. all
in active operation at the same time"
NO INCREASE OF. ACTIVE LIST
The bill was then read for amendment
A proviso was added to the first section
providing that hereafter there shall b
no increase in the number of officers o.
the active list, The amendment was
agreed to providing that when nava
and revenue cutter vessel were thrown
together the former should never
be under the command of the lat
ter, except by specific direction Of the
President of the United States.
Mr.. Shafroth, of Colorado. moved to
amend the section providing for longevity
pay equivalent to the corresponding rank
in the army, so as to provide for long
evity pay equivalent to the corresponding
rank in the navy. The amendment was
defeated, &c to 50.
down The only amendment adopted wa
one providing that no longevity pay
should accrue after the retirement OF a.
officer.
A motion made by Mr.. Mann to strik
out the enacting clause was lost, A to 10 !.
The opponents of the bill then inaugu-
rated a filibuster.
Finally the ayes and noes We're dc
manded upon the pr ssage of the bill and
the bill was passed.

Convention Gossip.

There is still much divergence Of ep1n-
ion as to the resembling programme From
the vote taken in the convention yester-
day on Mr. Floods motion to take up the
resembling resolutions Immediately ate.
taking the vote on the suffI age question,
it would appear that advocates Of re-
cess were in the majority by about Two
to one.
It was found, however, at the close of
the afternoon session that many who
voted against the Flood resolution in the
morning were openly advocating an i'm
mediate settlement of the question. This
change of front was found to proceed
from the conviction that vote now on
any resembling proposition would result
in an overwhelming majority against IT.
Many members are determined to go
home for rest and to pay some attention
to their much neglected private business.
and they seem inclined to escape being
kept here any longer by incontinently vot-
ing down everything as 1t comes up.
rather than be troubled further i'll their
narrowed mental and physical condition.
Opinion is divided among those y no fay or
a recess after to-day as to whether it
shall be thirty days, six weeks or sixty
days. The latter seems now to be most
often mentioned, or until the list Of June.
Members of the convention were delight
ed to get back to the comfortable and con-
venient quarters of the hall OF the House
of Delegates yesterday. The privilege
OF seat and desk of their own was not
the least of the advantages.
The improved acoustics and the absence
of those glaring lights, which extended
all the way to the ceiling in the former
hall, was great relief to their eyes.
of ArrY, yofl inc -, Il;
appreciated celebrity, had the hall in ap-
ple-pie order, all the furniture Of the con-
vention brought back in its place, and
when the convention met at 10 o'clock
nothing was lacking and proceedings be-
gan without a hitch of delay or confu-
sion.
It is generally conceded that Delegate
B. A. Davis, Of Franklin, who made
his first elaborate speech in the conven-
ton to-day, will be the next Republican
candidate for Congress against Congress
man Swanson in the Fifth District. For
this reason, his speech. it was said yester-
day, was more of a party slogan than an
argument on the suffrage plan, and he
did make an earnest and incisive stump
speech for sure.
There was a much larger attendance of
members present yesterday at the conven-
ton than was expected.
It was explained by one member that it
was feared the Republicans might run out
of speeches before the morning session
expired, and a vote might be precipitated
on the suffrage plan in the absence of a
majority of the friends of the conference
plan. The resolution to take a vote Fri
day at 1:30 o'clock had a proviso that
the vote could be taken sooner. if speak
ing had been concluded before that time
The majority suffrage forces have fought
too long to be caught napnine at the
eleventh hour and the Republicans did
run out Of speeches by o'clock, but the
Democrats, instead of coming to a vote.
concluded to try their hands at argument
and were industriously at it when the
day closed.

CONGRESS ENACTS
important MEASURES
Continued from First Page.


pending debate his prejudices had been
against the product.
Mr.. Penrose advocated the bill. Mr..
Carmack, of Tennessee. who explained
that the dairy interests of his State were
greater even than the cottonseed oil i'll
dustry, nevertheless regarded the bill as
vicious legislation. Mr.. Spooner. who
made the principal speech maintained
that Congress had the power, which 1t
frequently had exercised. to levy a tax
upon an article not merely for revenue,
but for the general public welfare.
Mr.. Money closed the general debate in
reply to Mr. Spooenr-
An amendment offered by Mr.. Harris,
Of Kansas, was adopted-A4 to 26-placins
tax of ten cents a pound upon adul-
5erated butter, and one-quarter OF one
cent a pound upon process or renovated
ptter, and providing regulations for the
collection of the taxes.
In an earnest protest against the meas
ure, AIR. Vest, of Missouri, held that Con.
gress, in enacting the bill, was invading
the powers of the States. Mr.. Vest char
acterized the proposed law as simply par
Elementary assassination of one Industry
by another. Some amendments suggested
by Mr.. Foraker We're adopted. intended
to remedy the objection that the measure
placed every family in the land under
the espionage of government officers and
also to prohibit the use of any artificial
coloring in the manufacture of oleomar-

was agreed to, providing that wholesale

or butterine except that upon which a

and was undoubtedly cons t.cutional.
Captain Wise was given leave to print
the speech made by him In the conference
In support OF the plan reported by the
COMMITTEES on Suffrage.
Mr.. Meredith explained why he should
vote for the plan. although he had fought
as hard as he could against any under

but was leaving the black belt to its fate,
after having provided for the permanent

counties as voters. He said he could not
support the plan, but would vote to SUD

ton or approval.
Judge Ingram made the next speech
and stated that the plan was not what

CFrom the New York Times.1
Carefully locked away in one of the
fireproof safes of the New Jersey His
torical society there now are two VAL
liable documents that tell of the early
colonization of the state. The first is
a deed on parchment from Charles II to
his brother James, Duke of York, after
ward king of England, giving him a
grant of all lands from the st. Law
renee river to Chesapeake bay. The
only two names on the grant that
Americans of today would recognize are
Nantucket and Cape Cod, which are
spelled as they are today. The ST. Law
renee river is designated as THE Great
River in Canada"
The deed is beautifully written in
Gothic lettering, and the document is In
excellent condition. Under each lire OF
writing is a ruling of red, evidently done
with a quill. The parchment Is over
two feet in length, and to the bottom is
attached what was once q large seal of
wax.
Gold and silver cords are fastened to
the seal. In an upper 1eft-hand corner
is an engraving Of Charles H. and the
borders of the deed are filled with pen
and ink designs, delicate and beautiful.
The document IL dated from Westmin-
ster In the seventeenth year Of King
Charles reign. While the deed IL ap.
parently the original, for the amount OF
work expended on 1t would not be given
to a copy, no signatures appear, and an
parently none was ever placed on It
