BREVETS CONFERRED

Asks President and Secretary of War for
Information Concerning Law I'm
der Which They Acted.

There is every Indication that President
Roosevelt's recommendations comforting

meritorious services in the Philippine and
Chinese campaigns, which were reported
upon recently by an army brevet board
will not receive the consent of the Sen
ate necessary to carry them into effect
The officers affected, however, need not
feel that the Senate has Disseminated
against them. 1t has failed also to act
upon something like 1900 others, who
were recommended for brevet rank by
President Mckinley for meritorious serv-
ices in the war with Spain.
Those nominations were quietly pigeon
holed by the Senate Committee on Mill
tary Affairs, and when. at the close of
that Congress, they became void because
of nonaction, they were not renewed.
In the present case the committee in
stead of allowing the nominations to die
peacefully, yesterday took what amounted
practically to adverse action by calling
upon the President and Secretary of War
for Information as to the law under which
these brevet ranks were conferred. So far
as the members of the committee have
been able to find, the only law on the sub

but only in time of war;
There has never been any official dec1a-
ration by the Government of the exist
ence o: war in the Philippines since the
close of the war with Spain. AS at best
the fighting there since has been but an
insurrcction. 1t is commended that brevets
intended for use in time of war" could
not properly be conferred for services in
the Philippines, no matter how meritori-
GUS
The brevets growing out of the famous
march to Picking and the Chinese cam
paign. it is held, would also be Illegal,
for the reason that there was no official
of war against China, and the
United States was not even at war with
that country.
The committee contends a special act
of Congress will be necessary before the
brevets can be legally conferred.

FOR SEPARATE LABOR BUREAU
Objection Made to Its Incorporation in the
Proposed Department of Commerce.

Hugh R. Fuller. representing the
Brotherhoods of Locomotive Engineers,
Locomotive Firemen and Railway Train
men. and the Orders of Railway Conduct
crs and Railroad Photographers, yesterday
continued his address before the House
Committee on Interstate and Foreign
Commerce in opposition to the creation
of a Department Of Commerce and Labor.
He asked that the references to labor
be stricken out of the BILL as organized
labor did not believe the time had come
when labor and capital could lie in the
same bed together" He opposed also the
idea of subordinating the now existing
Labor Bureau to the new Secretary of
Commerce. if that office should be created.
He caused a stir by declaring that
when Senators Hanna and Elkins urged
amending the bill creating a Department
of Commerce by including the Labor Blu

TILLMAN ANXIOUS TO
AVOID INVESTIGATION
TO PUSH PURE FOOD BILLS.
Action Taken by Committee of Pure Food
Congress.

The local advisory and legislative COM
mittee of the National Pure Food and
Drug Congress decided Wednesday that
IL was necessary to make an active cam
paign In behalf OF the Hepburn bill, which
has been ordered to be reported to the
House by a practically unanimous vote
OF the Committee on Interstate and For
eign Commerce, and the Hansbrough
bill, which will be reported from the
Committee on Manufactures of the Sen
ate in the near future.
The secretary was directed to communi-
cate with each member of the Pure Food
and Drug Congress and the officials of al
lied organizations to urge them to act
Immediately, in order to enlist the CO.
operation of Senators and Representatives
in securing consideration in both houses.
He was also directed to request the CO.
operation of the press in securing the
Passage of the bill.
The chairman of the executive commit
tee was requested to secure funds neces-
sary to defray the expense Of postage,
stationery. printing, and clerical work,
and the public. manufacturers and retail
ers will be asked to contribute toward
these necessary expenses.

PENDING ARMY NOMINATIONS.
Military Committee May Report Favora-
bly, on Captain Crozier.

The Military Affairs Committee will
take up the Crozier nomination at its next
meeting a week from yesterday. This
decision was reached at meeting held
yesterday.
1t is understood that this nomination
and those of General Gillespie and Capt
Geo. B. Davis will all be acted on favor
ably.
Consideration of Secretary Roots bill
to increase the efficiency OF the army.
which is being antagonizcd by General
Miles. has been temporarily postponed by
the committee.
The bill was not mentioned at yester-
days meeting. and it was decided to de-
vote the whole of next weeks meeting
to the consideration OF pending army nom
nations.
Secretary Root has notified the COM
mittee that he will answer the arguments
of General Miles against the bill, but
nothing will be done with it for at least
two weeks.
There is an understanding more or less
tacit that the bill will be dropped. unless
the Administration pushes the question of
its consideration.

Restrictive Law.
GREATEST FRAUD OF CENTURY"
Wisconsin Senator Says Industry Con-
ceived in France When Necessity Knew
No Law, But in America by Avarice,
Which Respects No Law.

The oleomargarine bill was taken I'D
again yesterday as the regular business.
and Senators Harris of Kansas and
Quarles of Wisconsin made speeches.
Mr.. Harris spoke in advocacy of an
amendment offered by him, providing for
a tax on renovated butter. Such a pro-
vision was in the House bill, but it was
stricken out by the Senate Committee on
Agriculture
MIR. Harris declared himself in favor of
oleomargarine when not SO sophisticated
and colored as TO impose upon the people.
IL was an article of commerce OF such
merit that it astonished him that the
manufacturers OF oleomargarine did not
come out openly and boldly and advertise
and recommend the article as such.
1t had, he said, its advantages over but
ter. 1t required a higher temperature to
melt it. 1t was not subject to the changes
of decomposition, and for camp and min
ing purposes and in thousand other
ways it was more desirable than butter
itself. The existing law, he said had nut
an end to the adulteration of oleomargar-
Inc until now it was a pure and healthy
product.
Mr.. Harris said that his amendment
would really be to the advantage of the
dairymen. He believed that the cream
cries would be in favor OF il also They
were willing to be fair. and did not desire
to impose any hardship on the manufac
turers OF oleomargarine. They were will
ing TO meet fair and honest competi-
ton, and so Were the cattlemen
Let u.s." he exclaimed, have honesty
in the sale OF food products"
Mr.. Quarles spoke in favor of the bill
Things had come to a strange pass. he
said, when steers competed with cows as
butter producers. Personally, he desired
to have his butter from the dairy rather
than from the slaughter house.
The State of Wisconsin had $175 geo 600
invested in the dairy industry, and that
great industry was assailed by a cheap
and spurious product. The pending bill
was the answer to the appeal of > geo 600
American dairymen for commercial hon
esty and fair dealing in the American
markets.

NEW SENATE RULES.
Reflections Upon Members or Individual
States Now Prohibited.

Another result of the fight between Sen
ators Tillman and McLaurin developed
yesterday. The Senate Committee on
Rules ordered favorable report upon the
adoption of an additional rule proposed
by. Mr.. Hoar Immediately after the fight
occurred. AS reported it reads as fol-
lows:
mo Senator in debate shall directly or
indirectly. by any forms of words, impute
TO another Senator to to other Senators
any conduct or motive unworthy or IN
becoming Senator.
No Senator in debate shall refer Of
fensively to any State of the Union
As originally suggested by Mr.. Hoar the
second clause of the new rule reads that
no Senator should utter any reproach
upon the character or history of any
State" and it declared it to be the duty
of the Chair to enforce the rule The lat
ter part was stricken out as unnecessary.
Later in the day the amendment was
reported to the Senate by Mr. Hoar, who
in accordance with the rules, gave no
tice in writing that the purpose of the
amendment was to make more clear the
rule of the Senate regarding decorum in
debate and the power and duty of the
Chair to enforce the same.
