Report on Pure Food Bill Also
Adopted by Upper House.

N. Friday the senate agreed to the

Heated Debate Occurs.
Washington, June 30.-Senator TILL
man called up the conference report
on the railroad rate bill soon after
The senate met and renewed his attack
upon the pipe line amendment rs be-
ing in the interest of the Standard OIL
company. In the course Of the debate
on the conference report Senator's
Bailey and Tillman engaged In very
sharp controversy over the latter's de-
nunciation Of the lawyers. The Texas
senator indicated an opinion that this
was demagoguery, and Senator TILL
man, white contending that he respect
I'd the attorneys Of standing, said he
had an utter contempt for shysters
and for the men who pack political
conventions. There was intense feel
ing for few moments, but 1t passed
away.
Pure Food Bill Passed.
The senate has adopted the confer
lence report on the pure food bill, and
IT now goes to the house.
Senate May Recede.
Senator Beverage, who introduced
Khe original meat inspection amend
|ment to the agricultural bin. has with
drawn his objections to the house sub
stitute, and this is taken as an indica-
fion that the senate will instruct its
jconferses TO accept the house pyovi-
sion. The Indiana senator said he
was in favor Of compelling the pack
ssrs to pay the cost OF inspection and
requiring them to place the date of in
tspection on cans Of meat. He said
that the house substitute retained all
lother features of the senate bill, and
that in the interest of practical legis-
lataon to purify meat products he
would not stand in the way, because
ths government is required to pay the
cost OF inspection. The senate leaders
believe that the outcome must be a
concession to the house.
