WASHINGTON, July 26.-In the Senate

the Homestead and Idaho labor troubles
and as to settlers on forest reservations In
California; went over until tomorrow with
out action and one las TO the geological sur
vey) was agreed to.
After spending one hour in passing bills
on the calendar, among them the eight hour
law as 10 public works of the United States
and of the District Of Columbia, and one for
the purchase of the late George Banoroft's
library the anti-optIons bill was taken up at
O'Clock and Mr.. Wsshburn moved to lay
on the table Mr.. Wolcott's motion to refer
It to the committee on finance. This was
agreed to by the very decisive majority of
81 to ID, but there were fully half dozen
OF the voting senators who were paired and
who voted only in order to make
quorum. Before the vote, and after
it, suggestions were made to Mr..
Washburn in view OF the intense heat
aud OF the absence Of SO many senators,
that be should let the bill 60 over till the
next session as unfinished business. This
concession Mr.. Washburn declined to make,
but he made counter proposition that as
th0 bAlA hAQ DCcu u6Dhbou LOE OfoI bHO hGbhb
the Senate should at 4 o'clock tomorrow
proceed to vote on the bill aud its amend
ments.
Mr.. White met this proposition, as he had
met a similar one on Wednesday with a
very prompt and determined objection.
Mr.. Paddock then proceeded to deliver an
argument in favor Of the bill, saying that
in that argument he voiced the sentiment
of the great agricultural state Of Ne
braska.
Mr.. Turpie also defended the bill, both
from moral aud legal points Of view.
After ward the amendments came up for
action. Mr.. Washburn's amendment to
strike out section 70 was agreed to.
Mr.. Daniels amendment TO utrike out
section 13 was debated until O'Clock, when
the senators, exhausted by the oppressive
heat, voted unanimously for adjournment.
The House adjournment resolution was
received and referred TO the appropriations
committee.
Mr.. Daniel at the close Of his speech
against section Is OF the auti-options bill de-
clsred that the whole bill WAS worse than
futures and options" that it was a greater
fraud upon the spirit of the constitution
than any fraud ever committed on the
stock exchange
Section IL, which was stricken out, re-
quires a license fee Of 50 on the part of per-
sons owning or entitled TO possession OF
articles SOLD Tor future delivery; and article
Is provides penalties for not reporting con-
tracts or agreements.
