BILL IN THE HOUSE. Senator Vest’s Report on the Meat Products Investigation. OTHER SENATE PROOEEDINGS. SENATE, Among the bills reported from committees and place on the calendar was the Senate bill to provide for the examination of certain offi- cers ofthe army and to regulate promotion therein. Mr. Ingalls, at the request of the Wage Workers’ Alliance, introduced a bill to abolish local taxation. Referred. REPORT ON MEAT PRODUCTS. . from the select committee on meat products, made @ report and accompanied it with an explanation. He said that the com- mittee had investigated the subject very fully and had now reported four measures for the consideration of the Senate. The first was a concurrent resolution asking the President of the United States to inaugurate diplomatic correspondence with the authorities of Great Britain to bring about a repeal or modification of the existing quarantine regulations of the United Kingdom. ‘The next measure was one providing for a national inspection law, andre- quiring that all live eattle shall be inspected when exported; and also that cattle intended for exportation (or the meat of which is in- for exportation) shall be subject to in- spection at the places where killed. The next measure was intended to prohibit the monopoly now practiced as to the storage capacity ot steamships carrying cattle to foreign countries. The evidence had shown conclusively (no dispute about it) that in the port of New York the practice had obtained among the steamship companies belonging to foreign nations (there being no American lines) of leasing or contracting. sometimes a single vessel, sometimes all the vessels of the line, for a number of months in advance to one person, The result was that the shipper, who was not the favored contractor, had no opportunity of putting his cattle in the foreign market at all. ALLEGED UNJUST DISCRIMINATION BY RAILROADS. Another of the bills reported was one in- tended to prevent the discrimination which now existed on all the railroads beionging to the Trunk Lines Association (and thatembraced all the roads running from Chicago east) under which no milezge is given to any of the im- proved cattle cars carrying live cattle from the west to the east, The evidence showed that on the lines west of Chicago be- longing to the Central ‘Traffic Association mile- age of from 1 to 1's cents a mile was given to cattle cars, Whether improved or unimproved, that belonged to private individuals. Asbe- tween railroad companies acustom had ob- tained and was generally observed by which a company using the cars of another corporation paid a mileage of ® of a cent each way for the use of the cars, The evidence showed that on the lines east of Chicago the refrigerator cars in which dressed beef (dead meat) was conveyed re- ed a mileage of three-quarters of a cent each way, although they were hauled back empty, but improved cars in which the live cattle were transported on the same roads re- ceived no mileage at all since June, 1888, by resolution of the trunk lin association. The judgment of the com- mittee was that that was an unjust discrimination against live cattle, and the com- mittee had reported a bill amending the inter- state commerce act so as to prohibit that abuse. hose bills, he said, were submitted with the report. IMPORTANCE OF THE SUBJECT. He called the attention of the committees on each side of the chamber whick had control of Mr. Ver tende: the order of business of the Senate to the im- portance of those measures to the cattle inter- est of the United States, which was now ina very. depressed condition. The select coim- mittee was powerless to bring about an early consideration of those bilis. ‘The matter was entirely unde: the control of those two committees, and of th; Senate event- ually, and he asked. in the name of the cattle raisers of the country, that the bills be taken up and considered atan early day. MR. PLATT WILLING. Mr. Platt said that he regarded the subject as one of great importance and which onght to be considered by the Senate at an early day. He thought that as soon as the bills and report were printed some arrange- ment could be made by which they should be taken up and considered, He as- sured the Senator from Missouri that, so far as he was concerned and so far as he rep- resented his friends on his side of the chamber, he would do his best in that direction, Mr. Cullom, chairman of the committee on interstate commerce, recognized the import- ance of the meaeures reported, and declared himself anxious to secure their early consider- ation. A COMMITTEE OF CONFERENCE, After further debate the House amendment tothe Senate bill for a public building at Aurora, Ill., was non-concurred in and a con- ference asked. THE CUSTOMS ADMINISTRATIVE BILL was taken up, the pending question being on Mr. Gray’s amendment securing to an ag- grieved importer the right to bring a common law suit against the collector. The matter was discussed by Messrs, Evarts and Gray, a large portion of their remarks be- ing directed against the position taken yester- day by Mr, Hiscock to the effect that in re- gard to such revenue matters there should be no jury triale, HOUSE. Mr. McKinley, from the committee on rules, reported a resolution for the immediate con- sideration of bills reported from the judiciary committee in the following order: Senate bill relating to trusts; House bill re- lating pow copyrights: House bill relating to bankruptcy, and such other bills as the com- mittee may call up. This ordcr to be in force today and tomorrow. The previous question was ordered—yeas 151, nays 70.
