Cleanliness Great Safeguard.

Senator Gallnger then went over some of
the difficulties that are experienced in the
District because Of unclean milk He did
not think that a meteorological examina-
tion would be practicable in determining
the healthful character of the milk. He
thought that cleanliness was as great a.
safeguard as could be adopted. and while
his position would be disputed by eminent
physicians in the District, yet it could be
maintained on the authority of some of the
most eminent physicians and surgeons in
the world
In reply to a question by Senator Nc
Comas he said there was no inspection that
could be adopted that would absolutely
avoid securing under extraordinary condl-
tons milk that might produce disease.
Senator Clay thought the section of the
bill prescribing the conditions under which
dairies might be built from which milk
could be sent into the District was not
warranted. Senator Stewart said that had
been greatly discussed. and he did not be-
lieved 1t could be considered Objectionable

The Philippine Shipping Bill.

When the dairy bill was laid aside the

Mr.. Allisons amendments deferring until
July 1. 1905, the time when the portion
of the bill requiring that merchandise from
the United States for the Philippines shall
be carried only in American vessels shall
go into effect. was the first subject of con-
sideration. Mr.. Carmack sought to have
the time still further extended. and spoke
in support of the policy. In discussing the
question Mr.. Carmack declared that the
President had shown far more interest in
independent Cuba than he has shown in the
Philippines. whose land he has made desc
late by war and fire and famine"

Health Office Too BUSY.

Senator Gallinger said lie had not in
tended to say anything about the bill. and
that he generally agreed with the medical
profession. But in this matter he did not
agree with the contention that the health
officer should have supervision of the in
spection of milk.
The health officer Is oyerloa ded with
work at the present time said Senator
Gallinger. 1T is notorious that existing
law, which is reasonably stringent and
which was placed i'm the hands of the
health officer for enforcement, has been
very seriously neglected. L am very clearly
of the opinion that the plan proposed in this
bill. which is the plan adopted in most OF
the states, is the best for the District of
Columbia. This places the inspection under

Senator Stewards Milk Bill
Discussed in Senate.
OPPOSED BY MEDICOS
PROVISIONS FOR PURE MILK FOR
DISTRICT CITIZENS.
Bill Goes Over Without Action at Ex-
piration of Morning Hour-Argu-
ments Pro and Con.

The Senate today considered Senate bill
24G2, to secure sanitary milk and cream for
the District of Columbia. The bill was
called up by Senator Stewart. who has pro-
NOTED such a bill for several years. He
had read to the Senate the report of the
committee on the District of Columbia and
a letter of Endorsement of the bill by the
Milk Dealers Association, both of which
have been printed in The Star.
Senator Cockrell asked whether the bill
had been recommended by the Commits
sioners or the health officer
1T has not" replied Mr. Stewart.
Then we are asked to pass the BILL
said Mr.. Cockrell. ION the recommendation
of the men who sell the milk. They are
interested in the sale of milk. and it does
not seem to me their Endorsement is suffi-
Gent"
1T is not only on their Endorsement that
we are asked to pass the BILL" responded
Senator Stewart II have been in the milk
business myself. but 1 am not in it now. 1
happen to know much about it's details
as any officer of the government"
Mr.. Stewart recited some of the things the
bill was intended to remedy
There are" he said, 800 places where
milk is sold in the District that cannot be
inspected under the existing law, because
they are not dairies We propose under this
bill TO inspect those places
Inspection of Farms.
This bill provides" said Senator Clay
that no milk be sent into the District ex-
cept the dairy farms are inspected. Why
not inspect the milk and not the farms?''
SCu should look at them.' replied Mr..
Stewart. and you will see tie reason for
the inspection of the dairy farms. The milk
cannot be clean unless The farms are kept
clean"
Senator Stewart spoke of the various
causes of uncleanliness in milk. He re-
ferred to the Increase in the number OF
milk IL SpectorS under this bill from two to
spection that cannot be made under the
present law.
Senator Cockrell wanted to know whether
the bill provided for any means of showing
whether there was bacteria in milk.
There is bacteria in all milk" said Sem
ator Stewart. There might be a dead rat
III 1t, he declared. amid laughter. IF
milk is kept clean there will be no disease
germs He went on to say that the in
specton provided against getting milk from
SICK cows and from surroundings that are
unclean. Also that it prevented the use
of preservatives.
If We don't have some law they will use
personalities on the milk sufficient to en-
balm it,"
Senator Frye said he had a communica-
t"h from physician stating the oppoSi-
ton of the Medical Society to Senator Stew
art $ bill. The communica ton was real
and was in effect that the supervision pro.
Vlded for in the bill should be under the
authority of the health officer instead of
under separate dairy division. 1t w5s
Claimed that this same principle should
apply to determining what buildings should
be torn down because of insanitary condi-
items. Medical expert supervision was nee
essary.

csc government very properly consid-
ers that the Manchurian question is
the affair of the other powers, es-
pecially England and the United States,
as we'll as it's own. If they waited,
it also could wait; if they did moth
ing, it might, as things were, have
done nothing.
But Russia has not been content
with breaking her engagements. She
has ostentati ously and defiantly col
lected what she considers an iHvincibie
fleet; she is parading that fleet in
Korean waters, and she has dared the
Japanese fleet to come out from it's
harbors and revisit the scenes where
nine years ago it made it's victorious
debut. At the same time that she
has flung this defiance in the face of
Japan, Russia has put forward preten-
sions with regard to Korea that show
her intention to treat that country at
the first opportunity just as she is
treating Manchuria.
Jack the Giant Killer.
If the future of Manchurfa as a re-
giou open to the trade of the world
without a prohibitive import duty is a
matter of affecting many states, that
of Korea is primarily the vital concern
of Japan alone. If Russia were to
ria, Japan would sink at once into
third-rate Power The nominal casus
belli may be the breach of Russia's en-
gagements, but the real cause is the
peril in which japan must be placed by
Russias ambitious projects in Korea.

There is no disputing the fact that
Russit has made and is still making a
stupendous effort to overa we and, fail
ing that, to crush her ''puny" enemy.

CAPT. THEO. D. KLINE.
A Tribute to His Memory.

Albany, Ga, Jan. 11.-Editor Morn
inf News: The sad intelligence of the
sudden death of my friend, Capt. Theo.
D. Cline, has just reached me, and in
obedience to the promptings of sin
cere sorrow and friendship 1 ask short
space in your paper to lay an humble
tribute upon his grave.
Grief over the death of our friends
is a commendable and universal feel
ing, and is not confined to any class
of people. But l sometimes think
that the old feel the death of friends
more keenly, because as one by one
their friends depart the small number
of their contemporaries is lessened and
the feeling of their isolation is increas-
ed.
1t was my privilege to have known
Capt. Kline for many years, and our
business and personal relations were
so close and intimate as to give me a
clear insight of his life and character.
l think it would be safe to say that
in the vocation of his choice there was
no better equipped railroad man in
the country. He gave to 1T a long
and laborious life, and mastered it in
all of its details. Conscientious in the
discharge of duty, always loyal to the
property he represented, he was kind
and considerate of the rights of en-
ployes.
Capt. Kline was true to himself, true
to his family and friends, and true IN
all the relations of life. A devoted hus-
band, an affectionate father, loyal
friends is gone.
How sweet it is to contemplate a
character adorned with so many vir-
tues! And how sad it is to think his
living influence and example is lost
to US forever!
II is said that the influence of a
good life never dies. Let us cherish
this consoling thought as we mourn
the loss of a friend.
