WASHINGTON, March 24.-Senate. =
La the Senate to-day Mr.. Hoar gave no
tice that he would ask the Senate to
consider the report in the Montana Sen
atorial contested election cases on Thurs
day next.
The bill to declare unlawful trusts and
combinations in restraint of trade and
production was taken up and Mr.. Turpie
and Mr.. Pugh spoke briefly in support
Of it. The amendment offered oy Mr..
R.agan-anti-tru5 blll-Was the hrst
question to be voted on.
Mr.. George regarded the amendment
rs he did the bill, as utterly without
warrant in constitution.
Mr.. Teller favored the bill. although
he was not certain that it would be sue
cessful if carried out.
The discussion drifted from Mr.. Rea-
gans amendment to the amendment
offered by Ingalls,, to prevent dealings
in futures aud options.
This was opposed by Mr. Sherman,
who also opposed Mr. Reagan's amend
ment aud pleaded for the passage of the

Blair opposed Mr. Ingalls, amendment.
Mr. Hoar criticized the bill from legal
point of view Mr. Sherman, replying
to Mr.. Hoar, said that if the duty on
cotton cloths or WOODEN cloths was a
little too low to protect the manufac-
turers of Massachusetts, not month

composed of seventeen corporations, and

None at all, he said. A remedy would
never come from the class of men en-.
