TAFT CUTS ARMY'S COST.
On Orders of President Estimates
Are Reduced S22.OOOOOO

On Orders of President Estimates
Are Reduced $22,OOO,OOO.
Following the dictum of President
Taft that the War Department esti.
mates to be submitted to Congress for
the fiscal year 1911 be cut to $40, 000,.
600 below the appropriations for the
fiscal year 1910, the officials have
brought them down to nearly $4,000
900 below the appropriations for 1910.
They are now to be taken In hand by
Secretary Dickinson for final revision
and the possibility is the figures may he
increased somewhat before he finishes
with them. Officials regret that the
great cut in appropriations will mean
the elimination of practically all con-
struction work during the fiscal year
1911, except such as Is under contract.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
/: w ork Of Congress :
. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS,

The wooden schedule was still under
consideration in the Senate when at
$50 o'clock "Wednesday the usual re-
cess for dinner was taken. Several
votes were obtained during the day,
and thus a number dsparagraphs were
passed upon. Among these were the
paragraph on top waste, ETC., on which
the committee amsndment increased
the House rate on WOOL top waste and
other wastes from 20 cents per pound
to 80 cents per pond, which, on d.
vision of the Senae, was adopted by
vote of 40 to 80. A vote was also OBJ
tanned upon the committee amendment
increasing the duty on shoddy from
20 cents per pound to 20 cents, and
that on tops from Is to 20 cents, the
committee prevailing in both cases.
Speeches were made during the day
by Senators Warren and La Toilette,
the former advocating a generally in
creased duty. while the latter contend
ed, as on previous occasions, for gen.
eral reduction. The two Senators en-
gagged in sharp controversy. Senator
Dolliver declared that rag trust" ex-
lists, and was tontradicted by Mr.. War
rem. A letter was read from ex-Gov-
ernor Durbin of Indiana advising
prompt action on the tariff bill. The
House was not in session.
-
Senator Deliver, assisted by eight or
nine other progressive Republicans,
vainly attempted Thursday to secure
some concession in the wool schedule
of the tariff bill All their amendments
were voted down by the usual major
ity. The wool schedule was debated
all day and at $50 a recess was taken
until s o'clock, when the discussion
was resumed. The House was in ses-
sion just eleven minutes and adjourn
ed until Monday.
Iucome tax shared with the wool
schedule the attention of the Senate
during Fridays sitting of that body.
and after discussion of an hour or
more its further consideration was
postponed until June IS. This action
was the result of a motion made by
Senator Aldrich, which followed
charge by Senator Bailey that undue
influence was being brought to bear
against the proposed income tax
amendment to the tariff bill. Mr..
Aldrich declared that he knew of no
such effort. but pleaded for the post
ponement of the question until the
schedules should be disposed of. The
Senate refused, by the decisive vote
of SO to 8, to recommit the wool
schedule to the Committee on Finance
on motion of Mr. Cummins and thus
finally concluded the consideration of
that schedule. Only few of the pro-
gressive Republicans supported the
that Senator Aldrich had lost the con-
fidence of other Republican Senators
which a leader should have, Mr.. La
Toilette made determined fight to
compel the adoption of amendments to
the wool schedule which were Thurs
day presented by himself. There were
two dozen or more of them, and all
were voted down, A to 80: Senator
Bacon forced votes on two amend
ments reducing to 80 per cent ad
valorem the duty on wool and wooden
goods. but he failed to obtain the sup
port of any of the Republican Sena-
tors. even the progressives refusing to
follow him. The House was not in
session. So.

still make such good butter that only
experts can tell that it is watered

of ordinary water and ten drops of
this emulsion churned together max e
two pounds of butter. The emulsion
appears something like glue. 1t is
sticky and rather thick but trans
parent. 1t is harmless and has no
deleterious effect, so far as has been
discovered by the chemical experts of
the health board, except to add to the
weight of the butter Four ounces OF
the emulsion is worth 30 to 35 cents.
