WAShINGTON , April 11-After two days'
( lObato the house today , by a vote of 150
to 58 , passed time Grosvemlor filed cheese
bill. Tile democrats voted solidly against time
measure , together Witll eleven republicans.
Practically the omlhy amncndment adopted was
one reducing tile tax on retail dealers from
$10 to $12. The biU requires time manu-
facturera of filled cheese to pay a tax of
$400 annually , the wholesale dealers , $210 ,
alll tile retail dealers , $12 , and failure to pay
audI tax Imposes upon nmanutacturers 111105
of from $400 to $3,000 upon wholesale dealers
$250 to $1,000 , amid upon retail dealers from
$10 to $00. It also requires tile branding
of filled cheese , and Its sale only fromu
original packages. Tile penalty for false
branding is a fine of from $50 to $500. Time
bill requires all retail dealers to post. in conspicuous -
spicuous places : "Filled cheese sold hero. "
In addition , It imposes a tax of 1 cent per
poumld on filled cheese , tile tax to be paid by
time mmmanufacturers. Imported filled cheese is
subjected to duty of S cents per pound. The
act goes into effect on the nineteenth day
after Its panage.
Before the debate on the filled cimeoso bill

Mr. Cannon offered an amendment to reduce
the annual llcense to be vald by tIme manufacturer -
facturer of filled cileeso. from $400 to $100.
Mr. Grosvommor , in elmargo of the measure ,
refused to accept the amendment. He
tilought time manufacturer could eaoiiy pay
$400.'itlm regard to the tax to be paid by
tIme retailer ( $40) ) , ho admitted that perhaps
some concession mellould be mnado.
Mr. Cannon , In support of lmis amendment ,
said that while tlmis was ostemmsibly a bill to
raise TeVClllle , Its real purpose was to prevent -
vent tIme eale of bogus cheeae in compel- !
lion with time genuine dairy product.
Mr. Terry oltered as a substItute for tile
whole measure a bill providing that every
manufacturer of articles intended for interstate -
state commerce wllp slmali soil or ship low
glade goods pretending , by their brands , to
lie a higher grade , shall be guilty 'of a
fraud and liable to a fine of $1,000. Mr.
Terry said that tile ostensible object of time
pending bill was to prevent fraudulent
practices. Compiaintcwere constantly made
that inferior merchandise of all kinds 'as
being palmed olt on time public , It the other
alde was sincere , lie said , and did not desire
to crush a single industry , this substitute
would be adopted. Time eubstitute was laid

conclusion of the consideration of time onig-

Mr Dingloy. chaIrman of time ways and

proposed to Invoke time taxing power to ac-
COmmIplish an object that properly came

ors , ho believed It should be passd. Mr.
Dimlgley , however , favored a reduction of
tllO proposed tax on retail dealers.
Mr. McMiliin , argued as a practical ques.
tion , that mmucit a law as thia could be mmmore

morce and submitted a etatement wimich
was in the mlaturo of a review of the report
of the comlimlsslon sent to the isthmus last
sumnnler. Ho said : "Time company regards
anl has treated the project as a btmsiness
emlterprise , with a view to conlmlercial requirements -
quirements , teclmmaical success aild financial
rc.ults. Time board emltirely igiiore. , two of

lIe eald that time board imad made a hasty
trip timrough the territory , touching only
imero ami4 tlmere the rotmto of time canal , when
It was convemiient , and he imad all imperfect
knowledge of the physical commditions of the

done. Time plamme of time comupany wore not
for an ideal canal regardice's of cost , but for
one anmplo to satisfy the heeds of commerce
and larger thamb any shin canal mmow In operation -
tion , None of the changes proposed by the
board s'as in tile interests of economy or
of a better canal. Mr. Menocal's statement
dealt in detail with tlmml tffiospimenio cormdl-
tiono , rainfall and other natural features of
the country , as eil as'the engineering details -
tails of tIle canal. ThOm was a long ox-
animation of Mr. Menocal by members of

for Its concceaions , and $50,000 for its right

Mr. Menocal Imad made tile trip timrough

FORT OMAHA , Aprilll.-To the Editor of
The Bee : All article in time amUsenlent column
of The Sunday Bee promnpts us to say a
word In behalf of tile much abused tlmeator
hat. We hope to prove that hat to be useful
as veil as ornamental , ovemi in time theater.
Altimough our scanty locks lmave been wimld-
blowml by a Nebraska zephyr lmmto the worst
disorder , we flatter ourselves that we have
always been gracious onotmglm to remove tlmat
hat when tile curtain goes up. But We are
also tilankfui that we had that sammma hat
handy In case of emergency , Amid that
emergency arose a simort time ago.
We wore at time theater and had paid our
doUar allCCe for seats. The night was lovely ,
time troupe was grand , Our seats were Ia little
farther front timan we like , hut. our escort In
a trihie imord of hearing at times , amId that
off oar bad to be imurnored , Time house imas
filled UI ] and we anticipate a lovely ovenlmmg.
The curtain goes up , our big hat ( whicim ly
time way is most lmeconling ) cornea off. As
the play fairly starts a party of timroe-wc
would like to say ladies and gemmtlomon in
time true sen.o of tIme word , but a prelllcc-
tion for th truth forbids-tako seats Immlle-
diately back of usVo patleimtly wait fifteen
minutes for tlmeni to excimango greetimlg and
9ttle dowmm. They Imave caine nil the way to
the opera house together to discourse in the
first act of that play. Haven't loot for at
least aix years-or at least we lmould judge
5) ) , from theIr conversation.
' 1110 play goes on , we don't. lmear a word ,
Our escort grows uneasy , We see people
about us laugh , and imow we wish we might
join in. But we faIled to catclm time joke-
those people behind us ! They are saying
timey have just been to California. Why
( iidml't. they go to time wilds of Africa amld
ronmain there ?
Time curtain goes down on the first act.
We give tlmanka and hope now timat timoso
peollle will finisif off that cunversation. Bmmt
no , they are looking aroummd mlOW to see who
Is there. Every one els 11e , ta1kin , html of
course they are ( lifferemlt' ( pnl every one ,
Time curtaIn goes up agaimm , A rattling
conversation begins beilnl mms , Our escort
is fast losing patiencc-img sppu Is and we fear
a scone. Timoo people arci'talklng ' now about
time baby. May imeavemit .p1eservo the off-
slmring of aucim parentagk'i ! 'Fimey are gong
to leave time same baby at jomo , anmi go to
tile opera in chicago , W decided to at once
wire otmr friends In Chicegu to go to time
opera before the Onlalma' contingent arrives.
We ball over to too If we can Imoar some-
timing that is boimmg saIi o , time stage , but
'tIe in vain , Our oscotrHtime , We see
peallle about us weep , b1qny tears of rage
fill our eyes. 'Fimoy imave now turned their
attentioo to the stage , but. time babble ( we
don't dignify it by tile mmamnoof convoraation )
goes on , We can't go home-our carnlago
has been ordered at a' quarter to 11. 0

But no , we have an 'i1tsl ! Our eyes fall
upon that bat ! We mmiakp grab ( or it amId
put it elm securely ! Sinemi they are making
fun of time people on time stage they naturally
want to see time stage , 110w we bless those
big waving plumes.
\so Imear a groan go up from Imeimind us.
