The Senate joint resolution authorizing
foreign exhibitors at the worlds Columbian
exposition TO bring into the United States
foreign laborers (ot their respective coun-
triesl for the purpose of preparing for and
making their exhibits, was taken from the
calendar and passed. In reference to this
provision Mr.. Hawley remarked that pos
terity would not look with pride on an en-
actment which let in foreign laborers, but
told them that as soon as the exposition was
over they must get out.
THE NEW YORK BRIDGE BILL.
A very interesting dialogue took place
between Mr.. Hiscock of New York and Mr..
Blackburn of Kentucky. The origin OF it
was bill introduced early in the session
by the Kentucky senator authorizing the
construction OF bridge across the Hudson
river at New York city. That bill had
been opposed at all its stages by Mr. HiScock
and when it was taken from the calendar
| to-day nv a majority of 8, In spite of the
efforts of Mr.. Hiscock, that gentleman
made some satirioal remarks about the in
appropriateness of the senator from Ken
lucky taking charge of IA measure affecting
the interests Of two great states, while two
senators from New Jersey and one of the
tors NaW Nnrk ahaapf Mr.
Blackburn defended his course, asserting
that Senator Hill and one of the New Jer-
sey senators were in favor of the bill, and
intimating that If the state OF Kentucky
should need the services of Mr.. Hiscock she
would have to hurry up, because that gen.
the Senate. But Mr.. Hiscock, after an ex-
preston of regret that such feeling found
lodgment in Mr.. Blackburn's mind. carried
his point by holding the floor until the
morning hour expired, when the bill TO
which he was opposed took its place again
on the calendar.
THE ANTI-OPTIOES BILL.
The anti-options bill then came up and
three speeches were made upon il. The
first was by Mr.. Coke, who assailed it for
its unconStitutionality, but advocated the
substitute offered on behalf of himself MIR.
George and MIR. Pugh.
Mr.. Mitchell member of the Judiciary
committee, from which the bill was re-
ported, made a legal argument In support of
its constitutionality and Mr.. Palmer argued
against it as an invasion of the police rights
of the states
No attempt was made to have vote on
Mr.. Wolcott's motion TO refer the bill to
| the committee or finance, and when Mr..
| Washburn asked unanimous consent to
have a time fixed, perhaps tomorrow
| for taking the final vote on the bill and the
pending amendments, very prompt and de-
termined objection was interposed by Mr..
| White.
Many House pension bills were taken
from the calender and passed; also the
| Senate bill to facilitate the enforcement of
the immigration and contract labor
| laws OF the United States; also the House
bill to authorize the construction of q
bridge over the Tennessee river at Deposit,
