DEALING IN FUTURES.
Senator George Denounces the
Method of Exchanges.
A Victory Won in the House by the
Committee on Ways and
Teans.
Special to THE MORNING CALL

WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.-Vest's resolution
regarding Indian Territory was discussed
in the Senate to-day during the morning
hour and then went over without action
until tomorrow.
In the course OF the discussion Platt of
Connecticut took an advanced position in
favor Of putting an end TO the existing an
omalous condition of things by the establish
ment of a regular Territorial government
in the Indian Territory.
Among the bills introduced ana referred
were the following:
By Gallinger-For the suspension of i'm
migration under certain circumstances.
By Mltchell-TO provide for a national
encampment Of militia at the Worlds Fair
By Cullom - To amend the interstate
commerce law.
By Peffer-To facilitate promotion In the
navy.
BY Felton-FOr the relief OF James Joy
by placing him on the retired list of the
army as lieutenant.
George addressed the Senate in favor Of
the anti-option bill. 1t was alleged, he said,
on the part of the Cotton Exchange that the
passage of such bills would be disastrous
to farmers; but. on the other hand. the
farmers of the Southern States, as well as
the farmers of the West. with almost one
voice, demanded the enactment of tie same
measure TO prevent dealings in futures. The
cotton-growers every year were becoming
poorer. and were made the victims Of
rapaciouS policy, which had taken their
earnings aud added the amount TO the over
grown wealth of men who used their DO y ers
for that purpose. George quoted from the
rules Of the New York Cotton Exchange
to show that quotations were not fixed
according TO the actual traffic in the market.
but by a sliding scale established By the
revision committee, which met only once a
month. Who gave the New York Ex-
change authority to fix prices for the cotton
OF Mississippi, Arkansas and other Southern
States?" he asked. mo one. and their ae-
tion was impudent usurpation."
Before the conclusion of Georges speech
the Senate went into executive session and
confirmed the following nominations:
2. b. Cheney OF New Hampshire to be
Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Pleni-
potentiary to Switzerland; G. NJ. Lambert
son Of Nebraska, Assistant Secretary of
the Treasury; NJ. r. Rose of Ohio, Assist
