 THE FlFTY-FlRsT CONGRESS. A Number of Amendments Offered to MT. Sherman,s Anti-Trust Blll-The Worlds Fair Bill Passed-1he FaIr Postponed Until 1893.
 WASHINGTON, March 25.-Among the bills introduced and referred was one by MT. Nor Till to establish an educational fund from the proceeds of public lands, and one by MT. Faulkner to give pension of $2,O0O a year to the widow of General Crook. Also joint resolution by MT. George to amend the constitution so as to empower congress to make all laws that are necessary and proper to suppress combinations in restraint of trade or production, and to prevent transactions that create monopoly or increase or dspress the prices of commodities that are or may become subjects of commerce among the states, or with foreign nations.
 On motion of MT. Morrill, the senate pro- ceeded to consider the senate bill to enable the secretary of the treasury to gather full and and authentic information as to the con- dition and preservation of the fur seal inter- ests of the government in the region of Alaska as compared with its condition in 1870; also full information as to the impend- ing extinction of the sea otter industry, and kindred lines of inquiry. The bill' which provides for the employment of special agent at $10 a day, was read in full; also communications from the treasury depart ment endorsing 1t and recommending it's passage After some discussion the bill was passed.

 MT. Hoar gave notice that he would not call up the Montana election case till next Non- day. The anti-trust bill was then taken up and Mir. George addressed the senate. He said he had heard the wish expressed by several senators that the bill and amendments should be referred to the judiciary committee. He concurred in the propriety of that course and 1 now made that motion. The American con- gress and the American people, he said, were brought face to face with tho said and great problem whether production and trade were to be taken away from the great mass of the people and concentrated in the hands of few men who had been enabled (by the policies pursued by the government to aggre- gate to themselves enormous fortunes. Mir. Morgan moved, as an amendment, that the judiciary committee be instructed to re. port back within twenty days.
 MT. Wilson of Iowa declared himself in favor of legislation on the subject of trusts, and he desired to reach result at the earliest practicable moment. He did not expect a perfect remedy to come from any act that this congress might pass. Such things were of gradual growth. He would vote against the reference of the bill to the judiciary committee because he wanted some bill passed by the eenate that would go to the | other house.
 MT. Sherman spoke of the reference of . bill which had been considered and reported by one committee to another committee as [ very unusual proceeding and that ono wal I committees. He reminded the senate that MT. Reagan's antitrust bill had been before | the judiciary committee for several months and that no action had been taken on it. Besides, two. thirds of the committee (Iessrs Vest and George) had declared that they could not find any basis for the bill in thu constitution, 30 that that committee would not be desirable nursing mother for tht bill. If the pending bill was to be sent tt another committee and then come bacl again and be debated for three or four day. more, what was to become of the tariff aues tion, the silver question, pension Legislation and other important mattersa After furthe discussion the senate voted 15 to 2s agsins referring the bill and pending amendment to the judiciary committee.
 The question was then taken on MT. Req gan's amendment adding to the bill section 3, and 5. and it was agreed to-yeas 34 nays 12.
 MT. Sherman moved to amend the frs section by adding to It the following pro vision, which had been suggested by Nr George-provided, that this act shall no | ho to fn pt agreement or combination between laborer made with view to lesssning the number o hours of their labor or of Increasing thei wages, nor to any arrangement, agreement association or combination of persons en gagged in horticulture or agricultural pursui made with view of enhancing the price o their own agricultural or horticultural pro ductions.
 Mir. Blair made humorous suggestion t MT. Sherman to include in his proviso thos engaged in codAshing and boot and shoe making in New England, and MT. Plat asked, in the same spirit, whether 1t includes } the wool men of Ohio.
 "Yss:" said hr; Sherman, "I think answer raised another laugh.
 Mr. Hoar moved to strike out of the frs section the words "of different states or be tween two or more citizens or corporations c both. of the United States and foreign state or citizens or corporations" and it ws agreed to.
 The question was then taken up on Nj Ingalls' amendment, aiming at dealings i futures and options, and it was agreed without division.
 Nr. Harris moved to adjourn, 30 as to hay the bill as amended printed before the fin i vote being taken, but the motion was rt : jected.
 Mr. Coke then offered his amendmen consisting of eight new sections, and ai dressed the senate in explanation and adv' cacy of 1t, claiming that the bills of M Sherman and Mir. Reagan were unconstitr He moved to strike out all of the bill excel the amendment of MT. Ipgalls and to subst tute his own for 1t.
