NEW YORK PACKING HOUSES.
President of Health Department VII
 NFake Th0rouRh InyestfWaffOu.

President of Health Department VIII
 Make Thorough investigation.
 New York May s1.-Dr Thomas Darlington, President Of the Depart ment of Health begun today personal and thorough investigation into pack ing house conditions in this city.
 From the reports which have reach ed me from my inspectors" he said, the situation hero Is not as bad as has been supposed and nothing like the situation reported in Chicago packing house. That everything is not as it should be, however. may not be con- troverted. With even the small force of inspectors at the command of the department--we have but six men meat is constantly being condemned.
 There has been an unusually large amount of meat thrown out recently, and it goes without saying that a force of half a dozen inspectors Is entirely inadequate. Last week l asked for at least fifty additional inspectors. IL does not necessarily follow that they will be detailed to meat inspection for there is less demand for watchers in the packing houses at some periods of the year than there Is at others. Just at this time we need large force, as 1t Is the bob veal season.
 'I am unable to say how long 1t will take me to complete my investigation of the packing houses here. I will not stop until I have gone into every de- tail of the business ."

HOUSE MAKES PROGRESS.
This In Spite of the Democratic Fill buater.

Washington. May 31.--The Democrats of the House resumed their filibuster- ing tactics today and demanded roll calls O nevery possible parliamentary point.
 Notwithstanding these tedious de- lays, the House passed the diplomatic and consular appropriation bill, carry Ing an appropriation of $2,734S69. A number of amendments were adopted. chief among which were changing the salary of the Ambassador to Spain from s17,500 to $12,000 and fixing the salaries of the ministers to The Neither lands, Luxemboury and Belgium at S10,000 per year each instead of $12.- 900 as fixed by the bill which was or iginally reported.
 The legislative, executive and judi cial appropriation bill and the post office appropriation bill were sent to conference; the House adjourning at 415 until noon tomorrow. the minority threatening to cause roll call on three amendments to a bill correcting the military record of B. F. Graham.
 Graham was mustered out of the service of the United States army in 1865, and at the time he alleged that he knew of no other reason than that he vited the Dtmocratic ticket at the election held by his regiment, the 1s4th Ohio volunteers a short time previous ly.
 With the Democrats killing time. MT. Dalzell of Pennsylvania. decided to ad- iourn rather than go through the wear mess of two more roll calls.

Were Heavily Fined.

MEAT INSPECTION AMENDMENT.
No Application to Be Heard Has Been
 Made by Packers.

Made by Packers.
 washington, May 31.-No application to be heard on the Beveridge beef in- spection amendment has been made to the House Committee on Agriculture by the packers and no meeting of the committee has been called to consider this, and other Senate amendments to the agricultural appropriation bill.
 Representative Madden, of Illinois, who is in close touch with the situa- ton from the packers point of view, says his understanding Is that the packers will make no application to be heard, that none of them is in Wash ington nor is any of them expected.
 Members of the House have been re- ceiving protests by wire against the inspection by cattle raisers and 1t has been suggested that If the packers are opposing the proposition they are working through the cattle raisers. The opposition which the raisers voice Is regarding the cost of the inspection; also that a corps of government in- spectors would ultimately become a dangerous political machine which might be manipulated to the disad- vantage of all concerned.
 The Williams and Sulzer resolutions calling for the Neill- Reynolds. report are in the custody of the agricultural committee. No action is contemplated at present regarding them. The Will Hams resolution calls for the report from the department of commerce and labor and the Sulzer resolution calls upon the President for the information. The department of commerce and la bor has indicated that the report is not in its possession and also that 1t has no information on the matter
 Members of the committee take the view that the President in obtaining the information in the Neill-Reynolds case did so on his own initiative and that he is under no obligations from an official point of view to submit the report to Congress should he deem 1t best to withhold 1t.
 The resolutions under the rules of the House become privileged within a week from their introduction and may after that period has elapsed be called up on the floor of the House.
