William called Hepburn to order, declaring that could not call a liar In th House. I withdraw th word.

Th evidences of revolt were now so plain tliat Dalxell lost his temper. He turned to his Republican followers and shouted at th top of his voice: Tber ar fifty amendments to this bill. Put the gentleman from Mississippi and his idea of statesmanship in th saddle, and into what condition will this House be reduced if have to consider fifty amendments William got angry in his turn. He had not intended to speak, but at this lie arose, and in a voice that rang through th hall crid: Th gentleman from Pennsylvania la not such a child as to imagine that giving th Hous a right to vot upon a motion to conuur In these amendments would place the gentleman from Mississippi In tb saddle.

He knows that it would sim- rly place the House of Representative in saddle And knows, from-What '-occurred In the Committee on Rules, that th gentleman from Mlasiaslppl is perfectly willing to have only these five amendments voted upon, that all the others tnbrbt go to conference without objection.

TO-DAY Si THE NEW YORK SAN FRANCISCO ACCUSES INSURANCE COMPANIES Some of Them Charged with Adopting a Policy of Deception. POLICY HOLDERS ARE WARNED Companies Have Already Paid Out $20000 on Claims Heavy Storm Causes Suffering. SAN FRANCISCO, May 25. Notwithstanding that claims aggregating- 2.000,-0TO have been settled by the Insurance companies, there are several concerns which show a disposition to make trouble for their policy holders. The complaints have become so numerous that a sub-committee on Insurance of the Cltisens' Committee of Forty has been stirred to Issuing a warning to policy holders against being swayed by the arguments of the corporations which are alleged to be trying to evade payment of their obligations by means of the earthquake clauses.

While the committee is of the opinion that the companies in general are inclined to deal fairly with their patrons, it finds that others, either through choice or because of the exigencies of the situation, are following a policy of deception and evasion that Is both amazing and suspicious." The situation is considered serious enough for Chairman Metson to suggest the organisation of a' public bureau for handling the claims of small claimants who may through negligence Jeopardize their lights. Acts relative to land titles In San Francisco have been drafted by a sub-committee of forty citizens. This sub-committee is to frame bills to obviate the difficulties caused by the destruction of court and murlclpal records, and has taken as their working basis the Burnt Records acts of Illinois and the Congressional statute which was passed to fit similar Federal need. Nearly 700 schoolma'ams received their pay for the first time since the fire to day. All were very high spirits.

Jusr as Cashier O'Connor paid out almost the last of the $63,000 and seen msny kiss the new twenty-dollar bills, he said: Blessed If I don't believe they would have kissedj me If that wicket hadn't been between us. A heavy rain and wind storm, which be gan last night at o'clock, continued throughout the night. It caused much Buffering among the thousands of refugees living In tents and Improvised shel ters In the public parks. Presidio, and vacant lots. The majority are provided with good -tents, but hundreds are poorly protected against the Inclement weather.

In addition to the rain and wind, the night was 'very cold. WASHINGTON. Mav 25 ftecrotarv aft has Instructed Oen. Greely. in com mand of the Pacific to make ar rangements to retain the military forces in charge of relief work In San Francisco until July 1, if such action be necessary.

Oen. Greely had contemplated withdrawing his forces on une 1. As 92,000 persons were fed yesterday, and the number of refugees still in need of assistance does not decrease as rapidly as waa hoped for. the relief work seems to the War Department to be a greater task than should be unloaded upon a civilian organization until it Is known to be capable of meeting the emergency. In summing up the losses of the Southern Pacific Railroad In San Francisco, which were finally placed at 150.000, President Harrlman neglected to take into account the destruction of the plates of an elaborately Illustrated book published by the passenger department, which.

It is estimated, will require S50.000 to replace. The first edition of this book, called The Road of a Thousand Wonders," had about been exhausted when the earthquake destroyed, not only the printing plates, but the original negatives. The clear atmosphero of California and the other States of the Southwest through which the road passes allows the taking of better Dictures than is Dovsibl in the East, and for this reason the views In Tne Thousand wonders book gave tne volume a large demand. Before another edition can be printed the photograph will have to be made all over again. STATION WAS TOO WIDE.

Decision on the Elevated Quarters at Franklin Street May Affect Many. A Judgment of 818,000 in favor of earn uel P. Bremer against the Manhattan Railway Company has been affirmed by the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court. Justice Glldersleeve granted the Judgment to Mr. Bremer, represented by J.

Asplnwall Hodge, because of damage done to his property by part of the elevated station at Franklin Street and West Broadway. Judge Glldersleeve also granted an Injunction compelling the re- moval of the part of the station extend ing toward Broadway In Franklin Street, beyond the line of West Broadway. The case, carried up to the higher court by the railroad company, may have im portant results In the way of station ai teratlons. "The injunction compelling the re moval of part of the station," said Mr. Hodge yesterday.

was given because the road had no rights In Franklin Street. and also because a large part of the station Is sheathed with wood in violation of the law under which th roadTwas Incorporated. This case may compel the company, at thia and other olacea. to furnish bet ter accommodation by condemning corner property for station uses, where the avenues in which the road runs are nar row. The Franklin Street station is a terminal for many trains, and the road may be compelled to enlarge the station." There are many elevated stations in New York which, on account of the narrowness of th rstreet or avenue along which the roads run, stretch Into side streets.

The story of Dr. M. K. Jaques. Professor of Bacteriology at the Illinois State University and head of the Chicago Inspection Service, is to the point.

He claims that the Inspectors are on the pay rolls of the packing house and that they quarantine large numbers of perfectly good cattle and sell them out In secret deals with closed bids. Commission men are also members of the Standard Slaughtering Company, and allow perfect cattle to be condemned and sold at cheap rates to this company so as to rake off the graft." In speaking of the investigation by the President's two confidential agents, he said: I have received letters from Interested workmen saying that the packers got wind of the private commission and were well prepared when it arrived. They kept the men working at night to get things in cleanly order. Even then the Commissioners obtained many compromising facts for their report, and I happen to know that the Beef Trust sent a representative to the Commissioners to try to get them by some means to suppress part of the unpalatable findings." PACKERS ANSWER PRESIDENT. Favor Government Inspection and Sanitary Regulation of Plants.

Sptcial to Th New York Timet. CHiC2: af.ti hlCtir0 PrCk" ay declared that they would welcome any day practical Inspection that would tend to improve conditions at the yards. That was their answer to the criticism by President Roosevelt of the alleged unsanitary conditions there, followed by his promise' to see them remedied and the old buildings torn down as soon as as published this morning. 1 At the same time th packers contended that the large houses were already' clean and sanitary. They called attention- to the present strict Government Inspection," and to the fact that the packlryr houses are always open to public inspection, and have been visited by millions of people from all over the world, who have commended the hqge meat-packing establishments for their cleanliness and order, as well as for their remarkable system of organisation.

While resenting the criticism as being except, perhaps. In the case of smaller houses, of which there are thirty in the yards, most of them slaughtering only for the Chicago trad, the packers did not apprehend that it would injure their business to any serious extent except, perhaps, in foreign countries. Following a conference, official statements were made by Armour Nelson, Morris A Swift A Cov and the National Packing Company to the effect that they were In favor of Government inspection and sanitary regulation of packing plants as contemplated in the Beveridge bill. with, possibly, some modifications. PURE FOOD BILL AMENDMENTS.

CoL Hepburn's Committee on Inter-State and Foreign Commerce, has accumulated various amendments there. Two of them, especially, which have been Informally adopted by the committee, are going to be interesting reading. One in effect legalises short-weighting. The other legalises the selling of patent medicines which contain opium and alcohol without any warning label to the purchaser. When the bill got Into the committee It was referred to a.

sub-committee headed by Mr. Mann of Chicago. No hearings were given by the full committee. All the patent medicine vendors, sellers of short weight, and other persons affected by the bill surged In on the sub-committee, which turned in to the full committee a block of amendments. No separata vot was ever taken In committee on' the amendments, which were tacitly approved en bloc The amendment concerning weight was offered by Mr.

Sherman of New York. Chairman of the Republican Congressional Campaign Committee, who Is a canner. The bill provided that goods should be labeled with the The amendment provides that the weight shall be given approximately," and that the weight set forth may be that which It has been the custom of th tradesman to so set forth. The other amendment was fathered by Levering of Massachusetts. It providoa that the amount of opium or alcohol 'a medicine contains need not be set forth on the label except when- the amount Is over a certain percentage.

Students of tno subject say this will let In every big roprletary medicine concern In the country, because not one of them puts In morti than the amount of alcohol or opium specified In the amendment.

In presence of a Government with a prescribed percentage or proportion of one or more of several different substancea prescribed in the very elaborate statute which governs the complicated subject In Germany. There are two general classes or degree of denaturtsing. via.

the complete and the Incomplete," according to the purposes for wnioh the alcohol so denatur-Ised Is to be ultimately Complete denaturlxatlon of alcohol by the Germs a system ts accomplished by the addition to every 100 liters (264 gallons) of spirits: (a) Two and one-half liters of the standard made of 4 parts of wood alcohol. 1 part of pyridin. (a nltrog-eneous base obtained by distilling bone oil or coal tar.) with the addition of 50 grami to each liter of oil of lavender or rosemary; (b) one and one-fourth liters of the above standard and 2. liters of benzol, with every 100. liters of alcohol.
