SENATE rRoCEEDINGs.
The Anti-Trout Bill Discussed at
Length.

Numerous petitions and memorials
were presented for a law against the EN-
ployment of aliens on government work,
some for the free and unlimited coinage
OF silver, one against the extension OF
the Union Pacific railroad debts, and
one from California for tho removal of
tho duty on jute and jute bagging
on motion of Senator Sherman, the
bill ito declare trusts unlawful, was
taken up and Mr.. Sherman addressed
the senate.
AT the close OF Mr.. Shcrman's re-
marks, Mr.. Ingalls, gave notice Of an
amendment which lie would offer The
amendment was aimed against dealings
in futures and options. IL was read and
ordered to be printed.
ON motion Of Mr.. sherman II was
ordered that tho substitute reported
from the finance committee bo treated as
the originei text of tho bill. and 10 tho
amendments proposed by Mess rs
Reagan and Ingalls, are to be treated rs
amendments in the hrst and second
degree.
Mr.. Vest argued against Tho constitu-
tionality of the origina. bill, as well as
of the substitute, declaring his belief
that the supreme court would immedi-
ately throw II out OF court. Tho senate
had been told at the last session by Mr..
Sherman that whenever he was satisfied
that combinations were protected by a
high protective duty he would DO In
favor Of reducing that duty and that,
Mr.. Vest said. was the real remedy.
Those trusts were protected by high
tariff. and were enabled TO work their
lniquitious purposes under the buttreas
afforded by the tariff Law.
Mr. IIiscock said that no attempt
should be mado 10 give tho federal gov
ernment jurisdiction OF tho subject owe!
which the states had full and ample
control
Mr. Blair renewed his motion 10 re-
consider the vote OF yesterday by which
ths educational bill was rejected, and

| No action was taken.
The motion TO adjourn over until Mon
day was opposed by Mr. Sherman, who
wistad to have action taken on the anti
trust bill tomorrow, and the motion
was defeated.
Mr.. Allison replied to Mr.. Vests nrsu-
ment us to tho connection between nigh
duties and trusts, taking the ground that
all great combinations were practically
outside OF t..o tariff nnd independent of
II. lilo would not admit that even tho
sugar trust was dependent on the taritl.
ho was not sure but thaI II sugar was
on the iroo list there would not be still u
combination among the sugar rciinorics.
In the great staples, oOlen and cotton
goods, leather boots and snoes and iron
and steel. on which tho duties were
high, there was no trust except per
haps US to steel rails and nails. So, also,
with the silk industry of the country,
which produced probably half the silk
consumed here, and which was pro.
tected by q heavy duty. No one could
say that trusts were the results of high
duties. There was postal trust and
whisky trusts, which had nothing to do
with tho duties Although he agreed
with the gentlemen who were In favor of
remodeiing and revising the tariff, still
the senators, II they wished to correct
the great evils of rust and combinations,
would fall far short of their purpose II
they confined themselves TO-. a modih-
cation OF the tariff rates. II was the
duty OF congress to put on the statute
books such legislation as would prohibit
trusts and combinations.
Mr.. Coke Offered substitute for the
bill, and Mr.. George offered an amend
ment, both of which were ordered
printed.
Iho bill tben wont oyor 10 Monday
when IL will be- unfinished business. and
Al was ordered that the session to-mor-
row be confined exclusively to the bust
ness on the calendar.
In announcing the pairs ON the Blair
bill yesterday the relative positions Of
four senators were misstated ON the floor.
Messrs. Quay and Ransom, who wero
Tor the bill, were paired with Messrs.
