ing.
The first bill on the calendar was the one
enlarging the rights of homesteaders on

acres.
The bill subjecting oleomargarine to
state laws, Paddock's pure food bill and
the Conger pure lard bill having come
up In their order, were laid aside, and the
Senate took up consideration of the cleo
tons bill. Colquitt of Georgia, Wilson of
Maryland and Vance of North Carolina
spoke at some length against the elections
bill. At the close of Fance's speech the
vice-president announced the question to
be on Gray's amendment to strike out the

gested several days ago, providing that

ment and a long debate ensued. Before it

FRANCE MAD AT M'KINLEY BILL.
Press Feeding Popular Fury--American
Trade Threatened.

WASHINGTON CITY, Dec. 15.-[Special. i
F. B. Loomis, commercial agent of the
United States at st. Etienne, France, says
in letter to the state department that the
French press is trying to excite its readers
into state of revengeful fury over what it
calls the injustice of the Mckinley tariff
act
This sentiment is not, it is true, strong enough
at present to be formidable, says Mr.. Loomis,
but if continuation OF this press tanning be
kept up no one can say what its ultimate de-
vefopment will be. The American interests
which have been marked for attack by the
papers are those represented by the United
States insurance companies doing business in
France. The volume OF business of this sort
transacted here amounts to $3o0o0.000 annually,
so that the American interests threatened are
very considerable, and have thought it well to
make this report
