In the ab sence of Senator Frje. president pro tern., who is confined to his apart ments by illness, Senator Perkins. California, occupied the cbair at the opening of to day's session of the 8- n ate. Senator Jones, Arkansas, ottered a resolution discharging the Committee on the Judiciary from consideration of the so-called Anti Trust bill, and providing that it should be considered by the Senate. The resolution went over until Monday. On motion of Senator Allison," the Senate decided to consider until 1 o'clock unobjected bills on th calen- : dar. Under that order the following bills were passed - To authorize the Carolina Northern Railroad Company to construct a bridge across the Lumber river at Lumberton, Robeson county, N. C. To amend the acts for the protection of birds and the preservation of game and fish, and for the prevention of their sale during certain closed seasons in the District of Columbia. Permitting the transportation by steam vessels of gasoline and other products of petroleum when carried by automobiles. Providing that it shall be a misde meanor for a civilian to refuse to ap pear and testify before a military court mariuu. At 1 o'clock the Ship Subsidy bill, as the unfinished business, was laid be fore the 8enate. Instantly Senator Spooner, Wisconsin, demanded recog nition and moved that the Senate pro ceed to the consideration of what is known as the Oleomargarine bill. The motion wm ncrrnrri tn 4K tn 9 na torsChilton.Texas, and Vest, Missouri, casting tne only votes in the negative. Mr. Hale. Maine, appealed to Sena tor Proctor "in view of the almost unanimous vote' bv which tha DIao margarine bill was taken up to permit a vote to be taken upon the measure immediately. Half a dozen Democrats were on their feet immediately. Senator Berry, paining recognition. said ; "I want to say to the Senator from Maine that the 'almost unani mous vote' to take up the bill was not because the Senate is unanimously in favor of it; but it was in order to get rid of it, set it astde, and give a black eye to the Ship Subsidy bill." A joint resolution ratifying an agreement between Tennessee and Virginia as to the boundary between the two States was passed. Senator Proctor, Vermont, ohair man of the Committee on Agriculture from which the Oleomargarine bill was reported, made a statement as to the bill. The discussion took a rather humor ous turn when Senator Proctor and Senator Tillman began comparing their respective experiences in dairy ing. Senator Proctor said he milked 250 cows and had had fifty years of dairy experience. fcjenator Tillman said he used to carry bis butter to market every Sat urday and that he went from the dairy to the Governor's chair. The South Carolina Senator declared that the restrictions on coloring should apply w ouuer anu oleomargarine alike. He caused much amusement by the vehemence of ' his denunciation of "axle grease" and "all other decoc tions, concoctions and contraptions put off on the public," although he held that if a purchaser wanted "axle grease," he was entitled to have it i The Senator spoke of one kind of but ter that was so strong that a man had to put a brick in the top of his hat to get the taste out of - the roof of his mouth.
