cided to postpone his annual vacation untI

ment:
American live stock are the healthiest
IN the world. The great ranges of the
west produce herds of cattle IN which the
percentage of disease is remarkable small
and the federal government Is steadily re-
ducing by approved scientific methods this
small percentage. The inspection of the
animal before and at the time of slaughter
has always been thorough II is true that
the Department OF Agriculture has here
totore lacked the power and the money to
provide for an efficient supervision and
sanitation and the methods of preparation
of canned meat food products.
The legislation which has just become
effective provides the Department of Agri-
culture with adequate law and power 10

tion will be extended from the pasture
TO the package. The federal stamp upon
the can will be a guarantee not only of the
healthfulness Of the animal, but also that
the product was prepared in sanitary sur
roundings, and with the addition of no
deleterious chemical or preservative, any
meat food product bearing the government
/ stamp will be fit for food.
I With this law in operation it may be
I accepted as fact that for heathfulness
and purity the prepared canned product

The new law is comprehensive, the means

THAW CASE is POSTPONED
No Prospect that Slayer of white
Can BE Arraigned Before
October.

NEW YORK. July 2.-That there is no
prospect Of a speedy trial for Harry X.
Thaw was announced today by District At
torney Jerome, who returned to town to-
day to give his personal attention TO the
case. Owing to the fact that during the
summer there are only two parts of the
court of general sessions and that the trial
would probably last two or three weeks,
the district attorney decided not 20 ad-
vance the Thaw case on the calendar
Thaw will hardly be arraigned before Octo-
ber
Thaw passed a very comfortable night in
his cell in the Tombs and today appeared
to be in better condition than at any time
since he was arrested for shooting Stanford
White a week ago. The prisoners wife
called at the usual hour today and spent
some time with him.
When Mrs. Thaw left the prison she
said she found her husband in better
spirits and more cheerful than at any
time since the tragedy. He is as cheer
full as anyone in his position could be ex.
pected to be-" she said.
From the prison she went to the ONCE
of her husbands attorneys. Allen W.
Evarts. counsel for the White family,
called at the district attorneys ONCE to-
day and had ten minutes talk with Mr..
Jerome This is the first occasion on which
the White family has been in touch with
the district attorneys Office in connection
with the tragedy. Another caller at the
private attorneys office was p. L. Ber-
goff, a private detective, who says he
was employed by Stanford White for
many months before the tragedy. Bergo1
was accompanied by three of his assist
ants who, he says, were actively engaged
| in watching both Mr.. White ana a corps
of detectives who had been employed by
| Thaw.
| Former Judge Olcott of counsel for Thaw
| spent nearly the entire afternoon I'm the
| prison in consultation with his client. Much
of the time was spent in going over letters
which have been received by Thaw since
! his imprisonment. His mail is increasing
! In size daily. and many OF the writer's de,
| clare themselves ready to disclose certain
! information concerning Thaw's victim
which they think may be of use to the de-
| fense. More than half a hundred letters
we're received today and fully half OF thes,
were deemed 70 be OF suficient Importance
to demand consideration by his counsel.

VIEWS OF THE DEMOCRATIC MINORITY
MIR. Livingstone Points 10 Growth of
Appropriations and ChnrRes the
Republicans with Ex-
travaERnce.

WASHINGTON, July Representative
Tawney, chairman OF the house committee
on appropriations has prepared a detailed
statement concerning the appropriations for
the fiscal year, beginning July 1, 1906 made
by congress during the session just closed,
In which he claims that the per capita cost
Of government in the United States, in
cluding federal and state, is less than that
in any European country.
Mr.. Tawney enters upon an analysis to
show that various channels into which the
total appropriation of $3.50 lS3,30l will be
diverted. lie begins by deductlng SlS9, 456 as
provided for the sinking fund for the
Panama canal account, showing that the
real appropriation for the conduct of the
government for the fiscal year is S14O, 526 SS6.
To meet this demand he estimates that the
total revenues (customs, internal and
postaD will be S7s1, ,57S, ,S6i.

Views of the MinoritI.

In statement made for the democratic
minority, Representative Livingstone makes
a comparison of the expenditures provided
for by this congress. SssO, ,1s3,S0i, with the
expenditures of 1898. the first year OF Pres-
dent McKinley's administration when the
figures were S52S. .7S5 O79. a difference OF $751;
AS POP. Commenting on this showing, he
says:
This growth in appropriations sustains
the contention that the republican party
stands for eXtravagance in public expendi-
lures in order to use that extravaganza as
cloak for their more. Questionable pur-
pose of maintaining high protective tariff
to favor the trust combinations of manu-
facturers OF this country.
A reduction OF expenditures, they we'll
know, would compel commensurate re-
duction in taxation, and 10 that extent a
that now surrounds the great body OF con-
sumers, who constitute the larger portion
Of our population and compel tribute from
them TO the favored classes.
Much OF the extravaganza grows out OF
the practice prevailing with the present
administration OF appointing commissions
to do what congress ought 20 do and what
congressman are elected for and paid for
thus delegating the powers constitutionaly
belonging 10 congress 10 others, who have
bilities 10 the public, and do not render an
accounting to the taxpayers OF this country.
To afford an idea of the magnitude OF
this years appropriations, Mr. Livingston
says;
3sS could have been paid for with the total
appropriations made AT this session and
a few millions TO spare"

volume of the appropriations:
while the expenditures Of our govern

gress are in the aggregate very large. yet
when we take into consideration the mar

which the people demand that the federal

unthiking or misguided who do not stop to
consider the care with which the estimates

are scrutinized by the several committees

tions made during this session Of congress.
