WASitiNOTON. March 31. [ Special Telo-
jrram.J A hearing was granted to-day-and
It will bo continued to-morrow by the house
committee on agriculture to a delegation
liom the dairy Interests of the country In
favor of a bill to tax Imitation butter ten
cents a pound , mark It soltcannotbesoldfor
the gcnnlno article , and place Its control on
the market in the hands of the commlsMoner
of Internal revenue. Komo
very strong ap-
pealH weiu made for the dairy Interests , and
It Ncciiis probable that not only will the com
mittee adopt the bill , but that It will bo
promptly passed by both houses of comtrcss.
Among those who addicsscd the committee
WUH Colonel Itobcrt M. Littler , secretary of
the National llutler , Cheese and Egg associ
ation , and of the Iowa Uiitter and Cheese as
sociation. Mr. Littler In the course of his rc-
ii'arks said :
"No ono has the right to make an imitation
of a valuable uttlclu and sell It for the genu
ine. No ono has the right to make such an
Imitation and sell it to men who will sell it
for the genuine , any more than hu has thu
right to make counterfeit money and sell It
to men who hu knows will pass it for genu
ine. The mantilaettiio of an imitation or
( oiinloi felt article In any considerable quan
tity Is prlma facie evidence of an Intention to
fell It as the genuine. All Imitations of but
ter are counterfeits of the genuine , and are
Mld to thi ) consumer , with ram exceptions ,
for genuine. Tlioimh the manufacturers and
wholesale dealers may sell their Imitation
butter to retail dealers for what It
In , they well know that the retail
dealer can sell to the consumer only
an genuine. These who buy Imitation but-
ter'ot the retail dealers for what it Is are
hotel keepers , boarding house keepers , res-
tmii'Hiit ki'OiKjrp , dining car agents and other
eateierw for the public , who intend to and so
palm oil' the Imitation compound for the gcn
nlno dairy iiroiluct.s. Imitation butter , In
many cases , Is made of inferlorandunwhole-
ftniiii ; fat and compounds of other ingrc-
illunlJi known and unknown , which are
neither .cleanly nor conducive to health. In
; 0iist'iicnce ( | of thu known lad that Imitation
irfittera are tilth , unwholesome and fraudu
lent , tJiecontiumlng public will neither eat
nor buy them knowingly , and hence they
can bo.sold only In a fraudulent manner ,
.knowing that they must bu fraudulently bold
If used.
"Yet millions of pounds of the Imitation
butters are fraudulently Imposed upon the
consumers of dairy goods every week if not
every day. The.so Imitations -are not only
unwholesome , tiltliv nnd fraudulent , but are
made of Inferior and cheap materials , that
uimbto thu mnnurncturcrtt to undersoil genu
ine dairy goods , whllo at the same time ob
taining a prlco for the imitation much above
the cost of their production. These Imita
tion butters are not honest substitutes for
genuine and their competition with the pro
ducts of thu dairy Is not an honest ono , They
wear a false gulfio and are sold for what they
are notelse honest competition would have no
eaimu for complaint. Their fraudulent
eharai'lur and sale Is the evil of which wo
complain. In consequence of the fraudulent
character and snlo of Imitation dairy goods
and of publhi knowledge and fear of their
fraudulent sales , the consumers of dairy
goods have been greatly diminished , thu
market for them greatly depreciated , and
dealers In them nru in danger of having
their business nttcily ruined. The dairy in
tercHt of the country has received a staggerIng -
Ing blow fiom Iho fiaiidnlent mannfactuic
and wile of Imitation dairy goods. Dairymen
aio disposing of their cows and neglectlnu to
mice moru dairy block. Good judges alicady
estimate the leductlon of dairy .stock below
tint normal point to bii at least 2.1 per cent.
This would ( o a fearful falling elf In any
business , and yet prices of dairy
good * ! remain depressed wltn no In
dications of Impiovement In the fiituic.
In eoiiKequmiec of this depression In thu
dairy Inlero.st , the Htnall farmers' sources of
reveniio from the creamery or private dairy ,
to meet cm lent expenditures , are greatly le-
diiced or cut off altogether , and his taxes re
main unpaid , and In many cases lie Is In
nrinir.i In bin payments on moitgages that
liang overhls piemlscM. Thu coed housuwltu
lm had the demand for thu golden Issues of
the chin n curtailed or stopped , and she Is
compelled to iiMc ciedlt of her grocer and
mcichani fur necessaries heictofoio paid for
fiom thu mint of the dairy.
"To Riich a pass have we already como that
the duliy piodiictlon , with tlio business
linHoil upon It , Is ihieatened with inln If not
lilinilillatlon , nil because of thu frauds prac
Ki ticed upon HID community by the mannfac-

IN TKItKST PAID ON VTAM l.O.V.VS.
The house commlttco on war claims has
determined to report adversely the. bill to
reimburse the several ntatcs for Interest paid
by thorn on war loans. Mr. Lyman of Iowa
favors the reimbursement of these outlays.
As a member of the committee on war claims
ho will submit a minority report for tlio bill.
Mr. Lyman holds thoio outlays which were
niaJo by the states on loans they secured for
equipping troops should bo paid and
that they form as just claims
against the government as those for
the pilnclpal of the loans. The principal
was reimbursed , and he thinks the Interest
paid on this money borrowed should also bo
reimbursed. Mr. Lyman made an earnest
effort to secure a majority report In favor of
the bill but failed , and has been granted
leave to file a minority repoit. Iowa lias con
siderable Interest In this matter. She was
very liberal In equipping troops and had to
borrow money to do it with. Nebraska , Min
nesota and many other states are interested
also.

Senate.
WASHINGTON , March 31. The army bill
ivas placed before the senate. Mr. Logan
illd not feel called upon to answer what Mr.
Teller had said yesterday , but would reply to
one or two remarks personal to himself. It
would not do for him to enter the licld of
sarcasm with Mr. Toller. Mr. Logan could
lot say what 1m had said to induce the sen
ator from Colorado to make the remarks ho
; lld. The senator from Colorado was the llrst
nan that had ever complained of a want of
courtesy In Mr. Logan. He ( Logan ) did not
.laim all the graces , or that he would make a
Jhesterlicld. Ho would greet the senator
from Colorado hereafter as the Chesterjeld ( of
'he senate. That senator's reference to Mr.
Logan's military service , and that ho
( Logan ) was parading Ids military services
before the country , were unworthy of a
republican Kenator.representlng a loyal btate.
Un the other side of the senate were men
who fought against the union. They had
moru respect for a man who was a soldier
and who blood face to face against them than
to insinuate in any such low , mean dcsplc-
ablu way as this. True , Mr. Logan did what
little lie could for this country. He did help
preserve thu Hag that sheltered the senator
trom Colorado. Ho did help protect that
senator's lights and did help keep this union
together while that senator reposed In quiet
In his own homo. For doing that should ho
( Logan ) bo criticised by a republican senator ?
" 1 am not In his ( Toller's ) way , " said Mr.
Ln an , "nor In thu way of any ot his filends.
Ills Insinuations about my aspirations were
without foundation. I have no aspirations
other than to represent my constituency hon
estly and fairly. What justification Is there
for such an Insinuation. I ask for nothing ,
I want nothing , 1 am not in the way of any
man. "
Continuing , Mr. Logan said that men who
hud been cabinet ollieers were not necessarily
statesmen. When thu senator from Colorado
liadi-ald that Mr. Logan was not a statesman ,
hu had said no moru than Mr. Logan knew.
Hu was .sorry that there were some men who
did not know HO much about themselves.
The senator from Colorado had attempted to
Insinuate that Mr. Logan had said things In
this chamber alluding to certain gentlemen
ot high character fur away Iroin him now ,
What hu ( LoL'un ) said in rufcrcnco to the
senator from .Maine ( Hale ) , why lug that InV
What has that got to do with thu proposition
ubgut n.OOU men ? Vet It was insinuated
and oven insinuated that ho had
struck It one of his speech.
"Why has It been persisted In on this lluor
that 1 am trying to make Insinuations on
somebody oiitsldu nf this chamber ? I say
mice for all , that I'mado no such allusions ,
that the man was not In my mind , that 1 had
no such Intention , nor can my languagu bu
coiibtiuciLorUvWed Into any such t > hapu as
that. What I raid was in tcferenco to sen
ators and in reference to the backing of
senutois by senators , not In reference to any
body outside , for I do not deal in that
character ot argument or character of asser
tion. 1 will say tuithcr to Hu senator from
Colorado , and desire him to understand It ,
and have notice now , that all attempts made
by senators tieroln this chamber to arouse a
quant'I or ill feeling between that gentle
man alluded to and myself will bo a
failure. Hu and 1 are better friends
than these gentlemen who am trying to make
ns enemies. That Is all in refeicnco to that.
This Httlu play In this little game ts too
small a thing lor collators to engage In. "
Mr. Loyal i then entered upon a discussion
of homo ot tlio details of thu bill ,

WASHINGTON- . March 3L Mr. O'Neill , of
.Mlsstmrl. from the committee , un labor , re
ported a bill to provide for the speedy set
tlement of controversies and dllTcicuees be
tween common carriers engaged In Interstate
nnd Special tiansportation of property and
passencetti and their employes. The bill
was leferred to the committee of the'wlwle.
and the house Immediately went into com
mittee ot tluiholp for tuu consideration of
the measure.
Mr. Kelly said ho would vote for any bill
Which would clvo relief to otiptfssed labor ,
but ho would not \oto iur thU mas * ofvoida
unless his vole was accompanied by a notice
that the bill meant nothing.
Mr. Koran was no more opposed to the bill
than he was to drinking a glass of water
botn were harmless.
Mr. Weaver said that tlio remedy for the
labor troubles must como from a proper law
to regulate interstate commerce , and from a
law which would create a condition In our
economic system so that the employer could
afford to nay laborliiRtnen what Ids labor
was wortfi. There was no disposition
on the part of worklngmcn to violate
law. They desired to earn their
living In the sweat of their faces.
"Trie trouble was that they could not ? ct the
ipportunlty to work. The remedy was to
give the country an Increased volume ofcur-
cucy. This labor question was purely and
ilmply a question of money. Mr. Cutchcnn
'avorcd the bill because It was an effort in the
Hrcctlon of an equal distribution , of the.
olnt product of the operations of labor and
lapltal.
Messrs. Uiichanan , McAdoo and Dlngley

AN IRISH IJA.ND ACT.
The Freeman's Journal Kxrilaiiis Its
1'robulile Provisions.
N , Match 31. The Freeman's Jour
nal states ti.at the Irish land bill which Glad
stone will tiropose , does not involve either
compulsory purchase or the advance of any
specified sum from the Imperial treasury.
What the measure will enact will bo the right
of anv owner of land in Ireland to claim
from the government of Ireland , after homo
rule has been granted , the privilege of being
bought out at a sum regulated by law. This
bum will bo arrived at by multiplying the
amount of rent by a term of years to bo
agreed upon by parliament. In all cases
where thu owners put In such claims to bo
bu bought out , the Imperial exchange
Is to provide thu p'ircliasu inonoy. Thu
Irish government is to guarantee repayment ,
and is to attend to the business of reimburs
ing the cmplru for all these outlays , by dis
posing of the purchased lands to occupiers ,
and collecting In thu shape of payments
therefor. Mich rents as will cover the wholu
sum back in forty-ninu years. As at present
framed the bill axes thu tents to hu paid by
tenants at four pur cent per annum on tlio
amount of thu purchase.
When the tenant has paid In rent to the
Irish government the amount Iho land cost
the government ho is to bjcomu thu owner.
Although thu tenant Is to pay the Irish
governnient-4 percent per annum , the latter
will be responsible to tlio imperial treasury
for mil ! IK per cent per annum , the dlll'erunco
to goto thu sinking fund to meet bad debts ,
thu cost of collections , etc. Thu measure as
outlined by the Freeman's Journal Is so
vastly different from thu ono attilbuted
by certain radicals and torles to
( iladbtono as to occasion astonishment.
The piesent hill does not compel
an exodus of Kngllshmen from Ireland. It
simply enables tlio government in a gradual
anil reasonable way , without Increasing pub
lic burdens , or running the risk of loss , to
adjust the conflict of interests between the
peasantry and land owners of Ireland , en
abling those who find residence in Ireland
desimblu , to remain there as long as they
please , and assisting thnsu who lind it desir
able to leave without suffering Injustice.

ST. Louis , Jtarch 3U-iTho announcement
received last night thatj.l'owdcrly . had dl-
eclctl the executive eotmnlttee of district as-
; embly 101 to order the striking members or
hat organization to return to work was re-
iclvcd by the Knights of Labor hero with dis
satisfaction. They had expressed the belief
hat 1'owderly would ultimately bo able to
bring about negotiations for a settlement
of the dllllctilty , but they admit that they an-
Iclpatcd morn complete recognition by the
ailroad authorities than seems to have satis-
lied 1'owderly.
Clialtman Irons was scon last night by a
reporter and asked If ho considered the basis
for ( lie settlement of the strlko sutllclcnt rec
ognition of the Knlghtsof Labor , said : "Yes ,
t Is a victory , " but almost immediately mod-
tied his tit ( era n co by a'ddlng , "to some ex-
.ent. "
When Irons was asked when ho would is
sue his order to the knlirhts to resume work ,
and when ho would appoint his conference
committee to wait upon Hoxle , ho said : "I
prefer to wait for further developments be
fore 1 say anything. I Imvo not de
cided upon what action I shall
ako yet. . t may watt until
he arrival of the executive boards. Another
nember of the committee was seen early this
uorntng , and In reply to an Inquiry as to
whether Irons would obey 1'owdcrly's In
structions to order the men back to work ,
said : "it is imperative , and must he obeyed.
Telegrams will bo sent along the lines proba
bly this morning , ordering the strike otf. "
No such order as the above has yet been is
sued by Irons , but it Is generally believed
that he will follow the Instructions of the
executive board some tljuo to-day. The
basts agreed upon for the appointment of an
arbitration committee to adjust the differ
ences existing between the .Missouri Pacific
and their employes wilt affect only indi
rectly the strike upon other railways. It is a
encrally accepted fact that the strikes
which have occurred since the Inauguration
of the Missouri Pacific strike were in support
of the latter. When the latter is settled all
will bo settled. This will not apply to the
Kast St. Louis troubles. It is understood
that they nave souarate grievances which
must be arbitrated Independently. Perfect
order prevails in tffo Missouri Pacific yards.
No crowds of strikers hare as yet congregated
in that vicinity oud it is not ex
pected that any trouble will attend
the resumption or froieut traflic , whenever
the attempt shall bo.madc. There has been

the question of oooying Powderly's- order to
end the strike. Committees from assemblies
100 and On , which embrace the East St. Louis
men and bridge and fuwjado men , have been
summoned to confer with tfioin.
EAST ST. Louis , March 81. 10 a. in. The
situation in this city this morning is ono of
miietude. The crowds congiegated around
the relay depot and In the railroad yards are
smaller than at any time since the strike
was inaugurated. No attempt has been made
by any of the roads to run out any freight
trains. Adjutant General Vance is sta
tioned at the depot , where ho will witness ef
forts later in the day to start out trains and
will bo governed by the results which follow
in a decision whether or not to call out the
militia.
NOON. Quiet still prevails in the railroad
yards here. Ollicials of the roads have made
no attempts to move freight trains , as any
such movement Is cause for the assembling of
strikers. No disturbance has oectired.
John Walsh and L. Harvey were arrested

General Assembly Proceedings ,
nus Moixns , Iowa , March ni. [ Special
Telegram. ] The bill that passed the senate
to-day taxing telephones Is quite brief , but of
great Importance to both parties affected. If
It becomes a law It will add several thousand
dollars to the annual icvcnues of the state.
The bill Is as follows :
Section 1. That all telephone lines built
and operated In tlio stale of Iowa shall bo
subject to assessment and taxation In the
same manner as Is provided for thu taxation
of tclesraph lines , as provided for In chapter
C'J ' of the acts of the Seventeenth goncial as
sembly. '
Sec. 2. That Ml the provisions of chapter
60 ot the acts of the Seventeenth gen
eral absombly. relating to the manner of
assessments and taxation of telegraph lines ,
shall be alike appllcablo to the assessment
and taxation of telephone lines , now orheru-
atter doing business within the state of Iowa ,
so far as practicable ,
The bill went to the house this afternoon ,
but was not taken up. A special order hud
precedence , but It will probably como up
within a day or two , and will undoubtedly
be passed , as the bill was introduced by tlio
ways and means committee , and has very
general support ,
The Illness of ono member of the Brown
Investigating committee bus delayed the re
port so that It Is not yet In. Auditor Urown
has felt the drift of it for several days , and
lias been doing what ho could lo forestall
public opinion and let himself down easy.
Anticipating that the repoit would bo pre
sented this afternoon , Urown had published
hl.s evening a series of protests against vari
ous matters in connection with the Invesllga-
lon , which hu tried to have filed with the
committee but failed. lie protests against
lot being allowed counsel to cross-
examine witnesses ; against the action of
tbp. committee in refusing to Investigate
he expenditures of other state olllcers and
; o outside of tlio scope of Iho investigation
ordered by the legislature. Ilo protests because -
cause the committee did not let him dliect
low they should conduct their Investigation ,
ind about every point of evidence admitted ,
.hat was damaging to him receives a protest
against its admission. Public opinion re-
.urds his protest as a very weak attempt to
anticipate an unfavorable verdict of the com
mittee.
The senatcadopte.d a resolution authorizing
tlio president to appoint a sifting cnmmltteo
of nine , and passed on Its third reading the
loint resolution providing for AVOUUIU suf-
Erogo by amcndinir Uio'confilUutroIFso as "to *
strlko out tlnr'word'undo' ' In-pa-scriblng

The resolution has not been .acted upon In the
house. ThqMllcs bill prohibiting railroads
fiom discriminating In furnishing cars or in ,
transporllng.girbptirty , and prohibiting un
reasonable charges for transportation , was
passed on tm ! third reading. Tlio Gatch bill , , |
fixing the salary of deputy state olllcers at ,
SIMO was.passed , with an amendment that
all fees -Hereafter paid to a deputy state
olllcer by reason of his ofllelal position shall
he turned Into tlio state X xsury.
The bill appropriating S-'O.OOO for
the expenses' of" the Iowa exhibit at >
the New Orleans exposition was discussed at
length and defeated yeas 10 , noes 15. The
bill being for a special appropriation required
a two-tldids majority to pass.
The governor to-day reappolnted K. H.
Hiitchlns commissioner of the bureau of labor
statistics , and thu nomination was continued
by the executive council.
The opposition to the bill appropriating
520,000 for the expenses of the Iowa exhibit
at the New Orleans exposition was on the
ground that the expenditure had been made
without aiithoiity , nnd the bill was besides
unconstitutional.
The house to-day uncrossed the bill grant
ing an appropriation of SVJ,000 to the state
university. It spent the afternoon on flip
Clark prohibitory bill , and passed It substan
tially as It came fiom the senate. Thu house
also coicuried : In the senate amendment to
the Sweeney Dili domesticating foreign cor-
noratl JDS. The evening session was spent
in discussing the bill abolishing the capltol
commission. The bill was ordeicd engrossed.
