WASHINGTON , D. C. , Juno 10. )
The house judicinry commlttco today took
Ap the Wilson original package bill and con
sidered It for several hours without reaching
nny further conclusion than that on the mo
tion of Colonel Dates of Alabama. It was re
ferred to a .subcommittee with Instructions
to report next Tuesday.
The Wilson hill will not bo reported to the
house as It stands. The members of the com
mittee nro unanimously of the opinion that
the supreme court made a mistake in Its do ;
clsion , but they do not think the Wilson bill
furnishes the remedy. In whatever form the
bill may bo reported to the house it will meet
with strong opposition irrespective of party
lines. Tills was developed upon the report
frjm tlio committee on commerce on the Bou-
tellc bill on the sumo subject , which as
amended in the commlttco Is practically
Identical with the Wilson measure- .
Those who manifest the most , opposition take
the ground that , as clearly set out In
the decision of the supreme court in the Iowa
case , the authority for the restriction must bo
deduced from that clause of the constitution
which empowers congress to regulate com
merce , nnu is In no way to bo associated with
the police powers of tlio several states. To do
this under the power to regulate commerce Is
to declare nflirmatively that it Is injurious to
the physical mid moral well being of the com
munity , but the dairymen are urging this
jamo objection against the manufacture nnd
Rnlo of oleomargarine , and they , too , since the
decision of Iho .supremo court , have como be
fore congress asking that the same legislation
bo enacted for their benefit. In the stuto of
Now York oleomargarine is prohibited both
as to manufacture nnd sale , just us liquor is in
thn state of Iowa , mid they argue that if fed
eral control is to bo exercised in ono case it
should bo In the other. It Is therefore evi
dent , the objectors to the Wilson bill say ,
that what is now proposed is but a begin
ning.
Alabama In the Interest of cotton seed oil
might pass a prohibitory statute affecting
olive or lard oil and then with equal propriety
demand that the United States government
Hhould lend Its aid to give It force and effect.
So it would continue until wo should find per
1. haps forty-two different articles in as many
different states. It thus becomes apparent
that the effect of such legislation is to restrict
commerce , to encourage the vnrious states in
raising up barriers against the products of
cister stales and so bring us slowly but surely
back to the condition which existed under the
confederation.
There Is also another source of opposition
not as active as this , but which among a few
Is quite strong. It is that such legislation
would boa distinct legal recognition to an
extent never before suggested of tlio state's
rights doctrines , to crush out which this coun
try had to pass through uu expensive nud
bloody war.

There is a good deal of anxiety felt in Wy

bills admitting those two territories to state

The bills liavo'passod the house of representa

ashed Senator Plait , the chairman of this
committee , today when ho intended to
call them up and whether ho
thought there was n prospect
of their early passage. "I propose to get
these bills up at the first possible moment , "
replied Senator Plait , "and I am going to in

Senator Allison , as chairman of the com

BOSTON , Mass. , Juno 10. The police have
just brought to light an astonishing story of
the Influences superstition and incantation
have over the minds of nineteenth century
business men. 13crlo & Stupcr do n pros

make three small tin cases , and in them
placed respectively $175 , $125 and $100 ns
typical of the desires of the flrm. These ho
sealed and then went into a trance over the
boxes , assuring Brrlo & Stupcr that their
business would increase ten fold during the
three months the nionoy was thus concealed.
The business , however , did not increase as
the bakers anticipated , and so they became
skeptical. They opened the cases yesterday

> rcctliiK ol'the AVcstcrn Freight Asso
ciation at Chicago A Tumble lit
Hard Coal Hates Averted
Lumber Hates Unchanged.
CHICAGO , Juno 10. [ Special Telegram to
THE Bin : . ] Some tlmo ngo the Interstate
commerce commission decided that Hues sit
uated ns nro the Alton , St. Paul nnd Knnsas
City roads , ending nt the Missouri river ,
could legally shrink their local rates to meet
the proportions of through rates quoted by
competitors between the same points. For
instance , n rate from Denver via the Rock
Island to Chicago might bo $1 , while the
rate to the Missouri river nnd from the Mis
souri river to Chicago might each bo CO
cents.
Manifestly the lines ending at the Missouri
liver must charge the proportions of the
through rate Instead of the local rate or get
none of the business. The lines
ending nt the river have con
sequently been shrinking their local rates
in accordance with the views of the interstate
commerce commission , but the rules of the
Western Freight association have not been
changed to meet this situation nnd today
Chairman Faithorn was compelled to line the
St. Paul $100 on eighteen different complaints
brought against it by the Northwestern be
cause of tills shrinkage of local rates.
ChuirmunFnltliorn's | decision is tlio most im
portant in many respects ho has over made.
Ho was undoubtedly compelled to make it
under the rules , but it may bring on n serious
conflict. About 5 per cent of ull business
from the west is through business.
Under Chairman Fulthorn's ruling the
Alton. St. Paul , Wabash , Illinois Central
and Kansas City roads would have to abandon
all participation in the freight business
originated by the competing lines.
They will not do this , and systems like the
Northwestern , Hock Island and Burlington ,
which have lines west of the Missouri , will
fight equally as hard before they will allow
competitors to take at the river traffic
originating on their own lines west of the
river.
Chairman Faithorn likewise fined the
Burlington.$100 for a wrong classification ,
the Kansas City road $100 for the illegal pay
ing of drayage und the Burlington .t North
ern $100 for uu unauthorized quotation of a
reduced rate.
A Tumble in ICates Avoided.
CHICAGO , Juno 10. ( Special Telegram to
Tun BCR. ] All divisions of the Western
Freight association met today. General
Freight Agent J. M. Johnson of .the Rock
Island was appointed chairman of n commit
tee appointed to confer with the eastern lines
on the divisions of through rates on the Mis
souri river traffic from eastern points.
The prospective fight of the meeting was a
notice of the Burlington of its intention to re
duce hard coal rates from Chicago to the
Missouri river from the present rate of $3.iO !
to $ .50 n ton. A tumble In rates was avoided
by a withdrawal of the notice. It was re
solved to make no change in lumber rates or-
differentials.
Depoiv on the Union I'aclflc.
New Yonic , Juno 10. [ Special Telegram to
Tin : Bui : . ] On account of the very ad
vantageous ' trafllo- arrangement that tho'
Northwestern railway company has with the
Union Pacific , the Vnmlerbilts are supposed
to take a great interest in the affairs of the
latter company. A reporter yesterday asked
Chauncoy M. Depew , who Is a director of the
Northwestern company , for an expression of
opinion.
"What do you thinic of the proposition that
the government shall lend to the Union
Pacific $ . -)0,000 000 ut 3 per cent interest ! "
asked the reporter.
"I don't think the government should lend
railroads money anyway , " said Depcw.
' But tlio extension of the Union Pacific
debt is practically a loan , " suggested the re
porter.
"Well , I can imagine conditions under
which it might , bo a good thing for the
government to accept I ) per cent on the debt ,
if good security wns offered by the rail
road , as I understand there Is. But I have
not given the subject sutlU lout attention to
bo aulo to discuss it. "
Another Ilnilroad Combination.
NKW YOHK , Jutio 10. [ Special Telegram to
TIIU Bm : . ] The Times says a railroad combi
nation far bigger than anything yet attempted
"sbcing " quietly discussed among well informed
railroad men. It Is nothing less than the amal
gamation of the great Missouri Pacific and
the Atchison system The successful reor
ganization of the Alvhison , Topeka & Santa
Fo system nnd its recent purchase of the St.
Lou Is & San Francisco road have apparently
whetted the appetites of certain ambitious
capitalists connected with- the Atchison for
railroad properties. The feeling of acquisitive
ness is upon them. The scheme that Is fo
menting is something like this : It is pro
posed that Gould shall buy the Chicago &
Alton railroad , which is in n position to make
either the Missouri Pacific or Atchison con
siderable trouble. This purchase can bo cov
ered by collateral trust mortgages so that the
Missouri Pacific present capital stock of
ubout IOOi 0XOwill ( ) not bo Increased. Having
grafted the Chicago & Alton onto his Mis
souri Pacific sytom , Gould , as the story goes ,
will lease the entire system to the Atchison
people in perpetuity , the latter to guarantee n
certain porcontngo premium on the Missouri
Pacific stock. The exact amount of this
guarantee is said to ho the bono of contention.

WASHINGTON , Juno 10. In the senate today
among the petitions presented nnd referred
was ono from the New Orleans chamber of
conimcrco asking for nn appropriation of
SoOO.OOO for the establishment of a steamship
line between Now Orleans nnd the west coast
of Africa.
On motion of Mr. Merrill the house silver
bill wns referred to the finance committee.
Mr. Blair Introduced ( by request ) n bill to
prohibit the sale of Intoxicating liquors on
grounds of expositions for which appropria
tions nro expended by the United States.
Ucfcrred to the committee on education nud
labor.
The following bills wcro passed ; The scn-
ate bill granting to the Chicago , Kansas &
Nebraska railroad company power to sell nnd
convoy to the Chicago , Hock Island & Pacific
railway company nil its railway property ,
rights and franchises In the territory of Okla
homa nnd in Indian Territory.
The silver bill was taken up and unanimous
consent was given that after ; i o'clock Friday
next the debate shall bo limited to llVo min
utes by any senator on any question.
The question being ou Mr. Plumb's amend
ment that no funds available for the payment
of the public debt ( including such as are
kept for the redemption of United States
notes ) shall be retained in the treasury In ex
cess of § 110,000.000. This amendment wns
amended by adding to it the words , "pro
vided that gold and silver coin ami gold bul
lion in the treasury on which gold and silver
certificates have been issued shall not bo con
sidered available for any purpose except the
redemption of such certificates. "
Mr. Sherman expressed opposition to Mr.
Plumb's amendment as the effect of it would
bo really to leave only a working balance of
$10,000,000 in the treasury ; besides.hc thought
the silver question important enough to bo
considered by itself without lugging in other
complications as to balances in the treasury
and such matters. Sometimes on quarter
days the secretary had to pay out ? 10,000.000 ,
and sometimes ho had to pay $20,000,000 , a.
day for pensions.
Mr. Hcagnn was o/ the opinion that n re
serve of $50,000,000 would bo all sufficient ,
and said ho intended to offer an amendment
carrying out that idea. He thought the pol
icy o punishing Iho people for the benefit of
the immomctnlllsts nnd contractionists had
been carried on long enough. The retention
of that $100,000,000 in gold had already cost
the government § 40,000,000 in interest.
Mr. Teller said it had cost $10,000,000. He
went on to question and deny the accuracy of
some of the statements in Mr. Sherman's hist
speech ou the bill. Ono of the points was
that the gold dollar had always been the
unit of value. "That Is not true , "
said Mr. Teller , "whether it comes
from nn ex-secretary of the treasury
or nnybony else. " Another point in
Mr. Sherman's speech which Mr. Teller
disputed and denied was that the increase of
the circulation had"kept pace with the in
crease of the population. Mr. Teller argued
that it would require an annual increase of
$ 14,000,000 of currency , to meet the annual in
crease In the population. As to the statement
by Mr. Sherman nnd others that the support
ers of the bill wanted n cheap dollar , Mr.
Teller said it was a species of dcmugogcry
which was duo to the senate. Ho wanted an
honest dollar ; restore the dollar that had been
stricken down without the consent of the people
ple nnd without their knowledge. The man
who stood before the senate arguing for n sin
gle standard wasoltherdlshonest or ignorant ,
and had no right to represent the interests of
the American people.
Mr. Teller went on to speak of the silver
plank in the republican national platform and
said that if ho had supposed it mere clap
trap the republican ticket would not have
had such support from him as he had given
it and would not have got the grout majority
it did iu Colorado. Ho said the bimetallic
principle had had its worst enemy , its most
effective foe , in the treasury department. It
had been within the power of Iho administra
tion to relieve the people , so that what the
people suffered was "at the door of the ad
ministration , " but there was no feeling
favorable to bimetallism in high places ami
xvould not bo while Wall street could
influence political parties. Each party
has been met by the declaration
that congress must legislate so as
to gain the good will of the business interests
of the country. That meant Wall street. Ho
remembered the case of n president ( Cleve
land ) addressing a crowd of people in Wall
street and saying ho saw before htm the rep
resentatives of great interests of the country.
But the fact , wns ( Teller said ) that ho did not
see before him n single man -\yjio had over
done an honest day's work , ever produced nn
article of commerce , or ever promoted the in
dustrial pursuits of the country.
In conclusion Mr. Teller declared tnat no
matter where the republican party or him
self should bo left , his vote should bo given
for that measure which would unloose the
burden put upon the debtors of the country ,
and do It without detriment to his creditors.
Mr. Call spoke in favor of free coinage and
then the silver bill went over till tomorrow.
After an executive session the senate ad
journed.

WASHINGTON , Juno 10. The speaker laid

of the Internal revenue laws. Passed.
It authorizes the commissioner of Internal

distilled spirits are now handled.
The house then went into committee of the

Tlio Sensational Story of Cantor's In
terment Alive a Hoax.
CHICAGO , Juno 10. An evening paper pub
lishes a lengthy and sensational account
of the death and alleged Interment
nllvo of Gustavo Cantor , which , when
brought down to the facts , seems merely a
suspicious case.
The story was first told by a workman
named John Slier , who said that on February
' i last , when passing Kidgo Lawn cem
etery Superintendent Miller called * iim
Iu. Miller was filling in a new grave
and told Sticr that he believed
the man in the coflln was nllvo. They
listened and heard sounds which Slier claims
sounded as if made by some ono rapping on
the inside of the coflln. Miller ,
however , continued to fill In the
grave , and water also ran in , covering
the coffin , and the sounds ceased. Sticr soys
Miller subsequently told him that ho opened
the grave Inter and found the body distorted
and every evidence that death had occurred
after interment.
Supt. Miller , when questioned by a reporter ,
said that when burying Cantor ho did hear
noises , but on taking off the lid of the coffin
found the man was unmistakably dead. After
replacing the collln lid ho saw Stiers passing
and thought it would bo a good Joke
to scare him , which he did. Ho subsequently
clinched the story by telling of the alleged
exhumation. The noises in the grave ho now
thinks wcro caused by the water running in
around the coflin.
At the hospital today it was stated that
Cantor died of heart diseiso ; and the physi
cians scout the idea that ho subsequently re
vived.

New York Supreme Court Decision
Helps AlonK "is Claim.
GP.NUSUO , N. Y. , June 10. From an action
tried here today in the' supreme court , it is
evident that Armour & Co. of Chicago still
desire to secure possession of 400 acres of salt-
.minlng territory lntUowestern _ , Now > York
saltflclds. The Judgment rendered cleaiy the
title to the property , and it is understood that
upon its success depended the action of
Armour & Co. The suit was to foreclose a
mortgage , thereby cutting off o lease of the
property held by the Valley Salt and Mica
Alining company of New York city. This
company defended the foreclosure1 , claiming
that tlio mortgage of $15,000 from Stewart
Gray of York ; Livingston county , N. Y. , to
his son was without consideration. The de
cree of the court established the validity of
the mortgage and cuts off all liens and iucum-
branccs upon the property , thus giving
Armour & Co. opportunity to procure com
plete title to this valuable salt mining prop
erty , which Is located near the great Ketsof
salt mines.

charging Frank Snowdcii with assault to do
great bodily Injury to G. M. Archer waa

being alleged by Siiowden and some others
that Archer had attempted improper libertlea
with some little girls , among whom was n
niece of Snowdon's , who , upon hearing of it ,
administered .severe punishment to Archer ,
breaking his nose and cheek bone and cutting
his face and head iu bad shape. Archer ami
his friends stoutly deny everything
in regard to the stories. Ho
has been working in this vicinity
for several months mid bears the best roputu *
lion among those for whom ho has worked.
After receiving the beating ho went to a stir *
geon and had his head dressed after which
he wns ordered to leave town , forthwith by
