MEAT INSPECTION
FIGHT REVIVED.
Senate Refuses to Consider Provision
That Uncle Sam Bear the
Expense.

WASHINGTON. ID. c., June 26.-The
conference on the agricultural appropria-
ton today developed that the difference
between the House and Senate in regard
to the meat inspection amendment proba-
bly, will be sent back to the two houses
for further action or for instructions to
the conferees.
The Senate representatives refused
absolutely to consider the provision max
ing an appropriation for the government
to pay the cost of inspection.
The Senate today voted not to accept
the conference report on the railway
rate bill and Senator's Tillman, Elkins
and Cullom were reappointed TO conduct
a further conference. The House ac-
coded and reappointed the same con
ferees also.
The House today passed the Senate
bill which repeats the sO-called 2S-hour-
law by fixing the maximum of time in
transit for stock at SO hours upon the
written request of the owner or person
IN charge of the particular shipment.

immigration Bill Emasculated.
WASHINGTON, u. c., June o.
The House emasculated the immigration
bill of its most importan; featureS-the
educational test and the 50 head tax
and passed it last evening without divi-

the House provided that Il commission
should investigate the whole subject of
immigration and report at the next seS-

at 81. as at present.
The Senate gave the House a slap in

STORY OF NIAGARA FALLS.
Great Changes Noted Since the Days

Great Changes Noted Since the Days
of La Sale, It's Discoverer.
Niagara Falls was discovered by
La Sale, who became aware OF It's
presence while trying to paddle a
canoe up the Niagara river from Lake
Ontario. Finding the current of the
falls too swift to ascend, he gave up
the attempt and constructed the rrst
boat ever built in the United States
little above the falls. He remained in
the vicinity of Niagara several months
and came away without having bought
a single souvenir postal card o. hav-
ing patronized a hackman, forming a
record that has never been equaled.
At the time Niagars was discovered
1t was in wild and uncivillzed state.
Hotel accommodations were very poor
and the man who tried to wade over
to Goat Island to admire the view was
very likely to be fished out of the
whirlpool rapids with a broken leg.
Shortly after the revolutionary war
however, Niagara was captured by the

Wants Land Sold.

Washington, Feb. 12.- Senator Full
ton is preparing to vigorously oppose
the bill soon to be reported by the pub
lie lands committee providing for the
repeal of the timber and stone act, I'M
less he can secure an amendment stip-
ulating that % per cent of the money
derived from the sale of public timber
shall be turned over to the county in
which the timber is situated. The bill
in contemplation absolutely repeats the
present law and proposes that the gov
eminent shall retain title to all timber
land, selling only mature timber at
public auction or otherwise at not lees
than the appraised value.
This in effect places all public timber
land in permanent reservations. Under
this proposed law, public timber land
will never become subject to taxation,
and in consequence the counties in
which this land ID located will be for
ever deprived of the benefit OF the
taxes which would eventually accrue,
were this land taken up under the tim
Der an stone act.

and went down to defeat. So fierce
was the struggle to amend that often

cluded in the reading, dozen members
waved their amendments and shouted

Friday, February Q.

Washington, Feb. 8. Almost the
entire session of the senate today was
devoted to the consideration of the ur-
gent deficiency bill, which was passed
practically as it was reported from the
committee on appropriations. The
only discussion was over an amend
ment suggested by Patterson to strike
out the provision relieving alien work
men on the canal from the operation OF
the eight-hour day law. Patterson
contended that to require men to labor
more than eight hours a day in the
tropics was inhuman, and argued that
the requirement would do injustice to
American labor. Several senators on
both sides of the chamber controverted
the position. The amendment was
voted down without resort to roll
call. The senate adjourned until Mon
day.
