TO REPEAL ELECTION LAWS.
Mr.. Bates Arguing in Favor of
His Bill.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.-The senate
was rather induStriously inclined today
and remained in session for four hours.
Several important bills were introduced
and two were passed. Mr.. Bates Dem
ocrat), of Tennessee, made a speech in
favor of the bill authorizing the employ
ment of federal supervisors and special
deputies at elections. These laws, he
said, chad been in operation for
over twenty years, and had not
reconciled the people in their
harsh interference with affairs
belonging exclusively to the states 1t
was not surprising that the late political
revolutions in 1890 and 1892 had swept
from power the party which enforced
the machinery ror interfering with the
elections of the states. The force bill
had been potent factor in the late
overwhelming defeat of the Republican
party. The law which he (Mr Bates
proposed to have repealed was the germ
or protoplasm of the force bill. 1t was
that bacillus which had poisoned cleo
tions and innoculated them with fraud.
From the supervisor of elections, and
the armed deputy marshals, the step to
the army at the polls was but short
one. The day had come to bring the
federal government back to those duties
for which it had been provided.
The late elections had brought into
power party pledged to reform-not
only fiscal, but electional questions; not
only the tariff, but all the federal ma
chinery that interfered with state af-
fairs, and to wipe out absolute power
which had no rightful place in the
American federal system. That system
was a failure if the states could not
keep pure the very elections which
maintained its organization. The power
of congress over elections having been
conferred only Gin the language of Alex
Hamilton ''to instruct the Union with
the care of its own existence" and
there being no apprehension for the
permanency of the Union, these election
laws had no constitutional warrant.
They were useless for any purpose.
They served no good. They did much
harm. and their remaining on the stat
ute books was in direct disregard of the
spirit and purpose of the late elections
and of the peace and quiet of the coun-
try. The bill went over without action.

noon that several bankers have taken
advantage of this domestic exchange
and have already added 100000 to the
government gold balance in exchange
for an equal amount of currency, and
further that there is every indication
that the treasury will speedily recoup
nearly the entire amount OF gold recent
ly surrendered TO foreign dealers.
Information was received at the treas
ury department today that the financial
furry in New York is practically over
for the present, and that there is no
longer any prospect of a panic. Money
is reported easy. and exchange has
fallen below the shipping point, so that
the heavy expectations Of gold are not
likely to continue. Secretary Foster
said this morning that s3,OOO,OOO in gold
has been taken out of the treasury this
week, aud that about Sl,500,000 more
would probably be lost before the week
ended. He is confident, however, he
said, that this gold will soon be re-
turned, with interest, through the regu-
lar channels of trade.

ANTI-OPTION VICTORY.
Defeat of an Attempt to Side
track the Bill.

Defeat of an Attempt to Side
track the Bill.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2O.-In the senate
today Mr.. Dawes said that he had re-
ceived and been requested to present to
the senate petition sent to him from
st. Louis. He did not know why he
should have been asked to present it,
except, perhaps. it was because the first
name to it was that of a citizen OF Mas
Sachusetts. All the other SignerS were
citizens of Minnesota, Missouri, Kansas,
Iowa, Illinois, Kentucky, Arkansas and
Texas. 1t stated that after years OF
robbery and oppression the cry OF stop
thief was raised by the authors and sup
porters of the WaShburne- Hatch anti
option bill; that that bill was supposed
to originate in the counting room OF the
combine" and in the very heat and
glare of the robbery; that experience
had taught them to beware OF the
Greeks, even when bearing gifts, and
asking that committee be appointed 10
visit Minneapolis and st. Paul, and all
other places where the combine existed
between either elevators, mills and rail-
roads, and that in the meantime action
on the anti-option bill be suspended.
Mr.. WaShbnrn remarked that mill
ion such petitions had been circulated,
all of them originating in the Chicago
board of tlade. This petition should
go to the committee on agriculture,
where all the rubbish had gone. MIR.
Dawes suggested that perhaps these
petitions represented an uprising OF the
people. He also remarked that all the
petitions on the other side were said to
have been manufactured i'll Washing
ton. The petition was referred to the
committee Oh agriculture, as were also
numerous other petitions presented by
senators on both sides of the chamber.
After brief executive session an ef-
fort was made by Mr.. Blackburn (Dem-
ocra0, of Kentucky, to have the Hudson
river bridge bill taken up; but as that
would have had the parliamentary effect
of side-tracking the anti-optlon bill, the
effort was successfully resisted by Mr..
Washburn and the friends of the latter
measure. Mr.. Blackburn's motion was
defeated by the very decisive vote OF IL
to fl. The anti-option bill was then
taken up, and was under consideration
until the time of adjournment, when 1T
went over without action. Mr.. Palmer
Democrat, of Illinois. made an argu-
ment against it. chiefly on the cOnstitu-
tional ground that congress had no
power to define and punish, by legisla-
ton, criminal offenses i'll states, such
power resting exclusively IN the states

farmer, Marcus Homfeld, settler liv.
ing alone. John proposed to his broth.
er that when Homfeld came home in
the evening that they kill him and live
in the house all winter in true rObberI
style. In accordance with that plan the
elder brother hid himself behind hay
stack, and, when Homfeld came by,
put two charges of buckshot into his,
head, covered his body with hay and
proceeded to take possession. Two
weeks afterward Saturday brother
in-law of Homfeld came to the house
and found the boys there. They told
him Homfeld was in the woods looking
after his traps. He waited until Sun
day morning and then went home,
bringing the younger boy with him.
He questioned the little boy, and got the
whole story out Of him. A party was
organized. and on arrival on the scene
of the murder the assassin had gone.
They followed the tracks through the
woods toward the Sac railway. Fears
are entertained that the desperate boy
will shoot one or two of his pursuers, as
he is well armed
