Washington, Jan. 27.—The farmers
anil lawyers had a battle in the house
today, and tbe result was a decisive
victory for the agriculturists. For
several sessions there has been jealousy
between the judiciary and agriculture
committees in the matter of oleomar
garine legislation. Today it was revived
by the introduction of a bill, by Hatch,
amending the present oleomargarine
law. Hatch asked for its reference to
the committee on agriculture, to which
Chairman Culberson of the judiciary
committee, objected. The roll call
resulted in a victory for Hatch—l2B to
18. The purpose of the bill, Slid Hatch,
ia to place oleomargarine in original
packages in the same legal condition in
the states, as the Wilson bill places the
Bale and distribution of liquors.
The bill introduced by Hatch pro
vides that all oleomargarine transport
ed into any state or territory or remain
ing therein for use, consumption, sale
or storage, shall upon arrival theie, be
subjected to the laws thereof, in the
same manner as though such oleomar
garine was produced in such state or
territory.
Martin of Indiana presented a resolu
tion calling on the president to publish
all correspondence had by the United
States government upon matters con
cerning the Chilean trouble. Referred
to tbe committee on foreign affairs.
A number of bills of little importance
were introduced and referred.
The discussion of the report of the
committee on rules was resumed, and
Hooker of Mississippi, though in gen
eral advocating the proposed rules, ex
pressed himself in favor of a steering
committee of fifteen to decide what
measures should be brought to tbe at
tention of the house. It was too large
a power to vest in the committee on
rales.
Watson of Georgia took the floor and
laid down the principles of the Farmers'
Alliance party, including the abolition
of national banks as banks of issue; free
silver; tbe abolition of alien ownership
of lands; election of senators by the
people; that the government should
issue money to the people who need it
to perfect their exchanges, practically
tree of cost, and that through the sub
treasury plan, or something better, the
people should have the privilege of the
nee of that money by giving such secur
ity as is considered good in the com
mercial world. They demand a gradu
ated income tax, and that no man's

BENATE PROCEEDINGS.
Among the bills presented in the sen

ciety of American Florists.
Hale, from the committee on naval
affairs, reported back the lesolution re
questing tbe president to report what
steps, ii any, had been taken to have

the Hawaiian islands. Agreed to.
Morgan offered a resolution directing

government relating to the non-accept
ance of Blair as United States minister
to China. After considerable discussion
Morgan modified the resolution, so as to
request the president to furnish the cor
respondence if not incompatible with
public interests. It was then agreed to.

elections, declaring Chilton of Texas en
titled to retain his seat in the senate,

ness on the calendar.

public building at Reno, Nevada, came
up; opposition developed, and it went
over without action.
The La Abra bill occnpied the re
mainder of tbe session.
LEECH ON THE SILVER QUESTION.
Leech, director of the mint, was be
fore the house committee on coinage,
weights and measures today, and was
examined relative to the silver question.
He was of the opinion that the supply
and demand for silver alone regulated
its price, and favored an international
agreement as the best solution of the
question.
Leech] having spoken of India's large
balance of trade, McKeighant, of Ne
braska, asked if that, instead of showing
prosperity on the part of India, did not
show that India sold so cheaply that
other countries preferred to buy of,
rather than to sell to her.
When Leech responded that a large
trade balance was generally thought a
good thing for a country, McKeighan
propounded this question, which was
not satisfactorily answered: "Why
then, after 1885, when the United States
had one of its largest trade balances,
did we have to cushion the beams of our
cars to carry tramps on ?"
WORLD'S FAIR INVESTIGATION.
The house committee on the world's
fair today decided to report to the house
the world's fair investigation resolution
introduced by Mctjreary.

which will continue several days.

cluding uniformity of commercial laws,
improvement of jftiblic highways, the
Torry bankruptcy bill, amendments to
the| "interstate commerce act, improve
ment of water ways, and silver legis
tion.
Lamp Jaw Not Contagious.
Philadelphia, Jan. 27.—The result of
the special investigation by doctors of
the university veterinary school on the
eubject of lump jaw, common to cattle,
is made public. They find no case on
record where tbe disease was trans
mitted to man from eating diseased
meat. The conclusion is reached, there
fore, tbat where the lungs, liver and
other organs are found not affected it is
probably safe to use the meat, and they
see no reason why such meat should not
be sold after proper inspection.

Two Sperm Whales Caught Off the Heads
at the Golden Gate—ls Austin
Cole a Corpse or an
Absconder?
Associated Press Dispatches.
San Francisco, Jan. 27.—F0.- several
days past there has been a rumor in
commercial circles that a movement
was on foot to engage a number of
wealthy merchants to form a corpora
tion which shall have for its object the
construction of a number of freight
steamships to ply between this city and
New York. The natural inference was
that the plan was the outgrowth of the
efforts of tbe traffic association to se
cure lower freight rates, but Manager
Leeds said this morning that he knew
nothing of tbe movement. Frank John
son, of the Johnson-Locke Mercantile
company, agents of the Atlantic and
Pacific Steamship company, said today :
"Plans lare being matured for the
incorporation of a large steamship
company here, and while all the capital
stock has not been subscribed, several
subscriptions have been made in in
dividual sums, ranging from $100,000 to
$50,000 down to $25,000 apiece, and the
prospectus of the affair will shortly be
issued. Our firm is only connected with
the matter as agents, and we are work
ing aa the representatives of seveial
large interests here. It is proposed to
run six freight steamers, built with the
latest appliances. Aside frbm this, it is
expected tbat a large development will
be made in trade with South America,
and it is proposed to have
the steamers stop at one
point on the Pacific ocean,
and another on the Atlantic ocean. In
the event of this company being started
tbe Atlantic and Pacific Steamship
company will be merged into it, and
probably the steamer Mineola will be
retained by the new company, and the
other steamers will possibly go into the
coast trade. An agreement will un
doubtedly be entered into with the
Traffic association, whereby the new
line will agree not to charge more than
a maximum figure."
SKIPPRO OR MURDERED.
Mews of Austin Cole's Whereabouts
Badly Wanted.
Visalia, Cal., Jan. 27.—0n the 10th
of December last, Austin Cole, Frank
Talmadge and James Search left this
county for San Bernardino to secure
coyote scalps. On December29th, Search
and Talmadge returned home without
Cole, and he has not since been heard
of. This caused a cousin of Cole to sus
pect the murder of his relative, and on
Monday Search was arrested near De
lano and brought to this city and put in
jail. This morning Sheriff Kay returned
from Lodi, San Joaquin county, with
Talmadge, and he is in jail. The men
declare their innocence of the crime.
A friend of the arrested men left here
tonight in search of Cole, who was a
sewing-machine agent in Southern Tu
lare. It is surmised tbat Cole took this
method of escaping from creditors.

Rain In Central and Northern Arizona
Saves Crops and Cattle.
Tempe, Ariz., Jan. 27.—Bain began
falling throughout Central and Northern
Arizona at an early hour this morning,
and continued steadily all day. There
is no prospect of a brr ak. With the
exception-of a brief shower on New
Year's day this is the first rain since
February 15, 1891. It is very timely
and the salvation of thousands of acres
of grain in the Salt and Gila valleys.
Had the dry spell continued thirty days
longer, 75 per cent of the cattle and
sheep on the ranges would have per
ished. Already all the stock that could
be moved had been driven into irrigated
districts of the Salt river valley, and the
heavy influx was telling on the pas
turage.

A Great Discovery of Petroleum Near
Paso Robles.
Paso Robles, Cal., Jan. 27,.—A great
discovery of oil has been made near here
on Santa Rosa creek. Soon after the

5000 acres on which the find is located
for a term of twenty years, and formed
a stock company wi'h a capital stock of
$500,000, to develop the oil fields. A.
F. Fen ton, manager of the Baron yon
Schroeder estate, is at the head of the
enterprise. The work of development
will commence as scon as the incorpora
tion papers have been filed.

Two Sperm Whales Caught Just Out
side the Golden Gate.
San Francisco, Jan. 27. —Information
has just been received in this city that
on the outward trip of the whaling bark
Trinton, Captain Gifford, two sperm
whales were captured off the heads, and

port a similar occurrence.
White Paid for His Barley.
Tempe, Ariz., Jan. 27. —The supreme
court today gave an important decision
in the case of Wm. J. White vs. the
Springfield Fire and Marine Insurance
company. On the 13th day of July,
1891, White insured 640 acres of barley
against fire with the Springfield compa
ny, for $3600, and four days later a con
flagration came along and the flames
wiped away Mr. White's barley. The
company refused to reimburse him.
There was a whole lot of legal quibbling,
and finally the district court took a
hand in tbe engagement. White was
awarded damages amounting to $3300,
and the insurance company appealed.
The supreme court affirmed the judg
ment of the lower court.
Time Sales Abolished.
San Francisco, Jan. 27. —The San
Francisco stock exchange today adopted
a ruling that hereafter time sales on
'change shall be abolished, and that
sellers must hold or control the shares
of mining stock which they may sell for
delivery.
