All communications should be ad dressed to REPUBLICAN NEWS ITEM, Laporte Pa., Entered at the Post Office at Laporte, as second-class mail matter. The resolution offered by Senator Pettigrew, calling upon the President for information regarding the treaty entered into with the Sultan of Sulu, has been passed, after Senator Petti grew had made an attack upon the ad ministration for entering into an agreement which, he said, authorized slavery. The debate in the House upon the Roberts case was continued Jan. 24. Mr. Roberts was not present. Mr. Landies, of Indiana, charged that Utah was admitted to the Union as a result of a Mormon conspiracy, and charged the apostles of the church with living in open violation of the statute against polygamy. The other speakers were Messrs. Powers (Rep ot Vermont) and Miers (Dem., of In diana) for the majority resolution; Messrs. Snodgras (Dem., of Tennes see) and' Wilson (Sil. Rep., of Idaho) for the minority resolutions; Mr. Lacey (Rep., of Iowa) for his proposi tion to expel without swearing in, and Mr. Crumpacker (Rep., of Indiana) for expulsion by a two-thirds vote. Jan. 25, by a vote of 286 to 50, the majority report was adopted, and Rob erts was accordingly not admitted. A bill has been introduced in the House by Mr. Clark, of Missouri, to create a territory of the District of Columbia, to be known as the "Terri tory of Columbia;" also to place bind ing twine oh the free list; and by Mr. Mudd, of Maryland, to establish an art commission of the United States. The Republican caucus of the Sen ate has decided definitely upon the re organization of the elective offices of that body, and nominated Hon. Chas. Bennett, of New York, for secretary, and Hon. Daniel M. Ransdell, of In diana, for sergeant-at-arms. Senator Lodge has introduced a bill reducing the postage on books and other printed matter belonging to public libraries when sent from one li brary to another. Leading dairymen and dairymen's associations in al parts of the coun try are urging Representatives and Senators to get in motion an investi gation of the office of the Internal Revenue Commissioner. They want the policy of this bureau in the prose cution of olepmargarine cases to be thoroughly aired. The oleo law was passed as an agricultural measure. It was lathered in Congress by farmers, and it was putin shape by the House Committee on Agriculture. While it has been on the statute books, the production of mock butter has stead ily increased, and our exports of but ter have diminished. \+ie uniform practice of the oleo manufacturers is to put on the packages of oleomarg arine the stamps and marks required by law. pay the tax and then scrape off the stamps and sell the sUiff as butter. The internal revenue agents are familiar with all this and could execute the law more effectively if they would. The dairymen now ask that the Internal Revenue Bureau be investigated and the facts brought out. The practice of compromising cases, of paying informers 10 per cent, of fines exacted and the acceptance by Informers of bribes, are points also that they want inquired into. Bills introduced in the House: By Mr. Boutell (111.), to remove the tax on proprietary medicines; Represen tative Cochran (Mo.), for a constitu tional amendment authorizing an in come tax: Reperesentative Knox (Mass.), for the taking up and recoin age of the Hawaiian silver coins; Mr. Levy (N. Y.) asking the Secretary of War for an itemized account of all re ceipts and expenditures in Cuba. The Senate has adopted the resolu tion offered by Mr. Allen (Neb.) call ing upon the Secretary of the Treas ury for the correspondence and the substance of all verbal communica tions which he has had with officials of the National City Bank of New York concerning the transfer of the old Custom House to the National City Bank. MILLIONS IN WOOL. Enormous Business Done in One Day by the Trust. Ten million dollars' worth of bus! ness In one day is the new record made by the American Woolen Com pany, commonly known as the Wool Trust. At the close of business in New- York Monday it was found that fully $10,000,000 worth of orders had been booked, and Tuesday the sales were almost as large. By 10 o'clock Mon day nearly three hundred buyers were waiting to place orders for all sort*-' of fall woolen fabrics. Mr. Woodhull, the New York selling agent of the trust, said that the con cern did an annual business of SGO 000,000, and that almost six months of its products were bargained for ahead. Prices of woolens have gone up con siderably; how much Mr. Woodhull declined to say. "The raw material has advanced tremendously," he said, "and I do not care to quote figures. In fnct, on some lines I could not do it if I wanted to. We have had no trou ble in getting good prices for what ever we offered." In addition to the throng of buyers who were on the spot, many orders were received by telegraph and by mail. The trust will not take orders for later delivery than July 1. Sheriff's Sale.
