CONGRESSIONAL NEWS.

Washington, June AFTER a day
devoted almost exclusively to dis.
cussion of the conference report on
the railroad rate bill. the senate de-
cided to send that measure back to
conference. The debate covered
various questions, of free passes,
salaries of the interstate commerce
commissioners and the penal provi-
sions Of the bill. There were diff
ferences of opinion on all these
points, but the dominant thought was
favorable to sustaining all the senate
provisions. Senator Foraker gave
notice that he would move to take up
the conference report on the state
hood bill as soon as the report on the
rate bill should be disposed of. The
bill providing for the control of the
waters Of Niagara river passed.
An attack and spirited defense of
the president were features in the
house. Mr.. Brunbridge of Arkansas
assailed items for the executive de-
rartment and care of the white house
and grounds as grossly extravagant
in contrast to the days OF past
simplicity" Mr.. Grosvenor Of Ohio
championed the appropriation In the

naval appropriation bill was sent to

Dairy and Food Commissioner EN-
cry yesterday made pubic the results
or an investigation being made under
las directions at the packing houses in
Milwaukee, and the statement must be
gratifying to the people of Wisconsin
and to Milwaukee in particular. for II
describes the conditions In the cream
city packing houses as thoroughly sat
lsiactory. The statement, which was
prepared by the commissioner with
care, was accompanied with the re
mark that he thought it due to the
people of this state and to the pack
ing houses of Milwaukee that the good
conditions there maintained be made
public. The statement is as follows:
Under the direction of Dairy and
FOOD Commissioner Emery, a thorough
inspection has recently been made of
every meat packing establishment in
the city of Milwaukee. For this pur-
pose Commissioner Emery dispatched
his two assistants, u. S. Baer and ]. G.
Moore, with instructions to make a
thorough inspection of everything con
nccted with every meat packing estab.
ishment in the city of Milwaukee to
the extent of their ability. They were
Instructed to make themselves known
ID the managers of each of these es-
adjustments and to inform them that
they were there in their official capac-
ity, under the direction of the dairy
and food commissioner, to inspect
everything connected with these estab-
lishments.
Everything connected with each of
tkCse establishments was readily
thrown open to the fullest inspection.
These officials saw the animals slaugh-
tered. The slaughtering of each ami
mai was under the inspection of a gov
eminent insr ector. The report they
make is that everything observed in
con nection with every meat packing
establishment in the city of Milwaukee
is above reasonable criticism. One es-
Enlistment in particular is reported
as in every way in superb condition,
and though there are varying degrees
of excellence in the respective estab-
lishments they did not find conditions
in single establishment against
which they could bring reasonable
criticism. The floors and walls of the
buildings we're found clean. They
found the workmen and their clothing
clean. The instruments and nipple
mentS used in the establishments were
clean. All this is reassuring to the
Wisconsin public and the results of
this inspection go to show that the
Milwaukee packers have nothing to
lear from the most rigid government
inspection and that they have much to
gain by such inspection in consequence
of the release it will bring them from
the disreputab1e competition that they
meet from establishments that are not
conducted in a manner like their own.
st is to be remembered that there
is 10 canning OF meats done by any of
the Milwaukee packing establishments
OF course this inspection embraces
only what could be detected by the eye
and does not speak of those things
thar can be determined only by scien-
tific analysis or experiment. They saw
nothing, however, of such suspicious
character as to cause them to take
samples for analysis"

meat dealers use Milwaukee packing
house stock.

The Virginia. West Virginia Suit

In reply to a query as to what
extent Virginia will be benefited
financially or otherwise by the suit
now pending in the United States
Supreme Court between the States
of Virginia and West Virginia, the
Richmond Times-Dispatch says:
When the State settled with the
bondholders, u part of the original
debt was assigned to West Virginia
and was represented to the credit
ors in certificates known as "West
Virginia certificates. But West
Virginia has declined to acknowl-
edge them, and it cannot be said
that the debt is finally and COM
pletely settled so long as these GER
tifcates are outstanding. The
holders agreed, however, that if
Virginia would bring suit against
West Virginia and get the Su-
preme Court to ascertain and de-
clare what part of the debt West
Virginia should assume, 70 matter
what the amount might be, they
would release Virginia forever
from any further obligation. The
AttOrney-General believes, there
fore, that Virginia has everything
to gain and nothing to lose by
bringing the suit.
