Important Results Achieved in tt
AbseEce of the Republicans.

rate which would make ex-Speaker Reed
green with envy. The anti-options bill, the
| legislative appropriation bill, the
admission OF New Mexico and Arizona as
states, the order for conference reports on
the river and harbor and the naval appro-
| priation bills, this is record of the days
work and Mr.. McMillin. the democratic
leader, promptly followed 1t up with
resolution that congress adjourn at o'clock
on the Fourth of July. The rate at which
! business was dispatched to-day will make
such an adjournment possible. or throw the
odium of prolonglng the session upon the
republican Senate
TIRED OF DILLY-DALLYING.
The democratic leaders evidently felt that
the House had been dilydallying long
enough and the way to elect Mr.. Cleveland
is to go home with the record they have
made. Free coinage has had the life crushed
out Of it, two prosperous territories have
been admitted as far as the House can do it
to the privileges of statehood, aud three
tariff bills have been sent to the Senate.
Upon this record the leaders can safely ap.
peal to the country, A few more tariff
bills may be passed when the national con-
ventions are over and the House will be
meantime has deliberately refused to allow
the tariff bills to come up which passed the
House months ago 1t will rest with the
senators to decide whether they will keep
congress in session for the sake of a fair
debate on the bills or take an early adjourn
ment without considering them.
DETAILS OF THE PROCEEDINGS.
By the associated Press.
WASHINGTON, June 6.-In the House to-
day, Immediately after the reading of Sat-
urday's journal. Mr.. Hatch was recognized
and moved to suspend the rules and pass the
anti-options bill.
The opponents OF the bill could not gather
sufficient force to do more than occasion
slight delay by parliamentary tactics. Mr..
Cummings demanded second and it was
ordered.
Then Mr.. Culberson OF Texas endeavored
to have the time of debate extended, but
that failed. The debate was confined to
one minute speeches, and, after thirty min
utes discussion, Mr.. Hatch's motion was
agreed to-yeas 1913, nays 40; and accord
ingly the bill was passed.
THE ARTICLES INCLUDED.
The first two sections OF the bill define
"options" and futures" the third names
as articles to which they shall relate, cot
grass seed, fax seed, pork and other edible
products of swine !" and the fourth imposes
a license Of 81 900 on dealers in options and
futures and a tax of 5 cents on each pound
of cotton, hops, pork lard, bacon and other
edible products of swine and 20 cents a
bushel on each bushel of the other articles
which are the subject of any options or fut-
ures contract which such dealer or vender
shall make either in his own behalf or on
behalf of others.
Instantly Mr.. Blanchard of Louisiana
was on his feet and was recognized by the
speaker
Mr.. Cooper OF Indiana interposed
motion to adjourn, but the speaker stated
that he had not been recognized. Because a
gentleman rose and asked for recognition
was no reason why he should be recognized.
A RIVER AND HARBoR CONFERENCE.
Thereupon Mr.. Blanchard moved to sus-
pend the rules, to non. concur in the Senate
amendments to the river and harbor appro-
priatlon bill and to agree TO conference.
About the same programme was gone
through with this motion as with Mr..
Hatch's Mr.. Holman demanded second
and it was ordered by a vote OF 1856 to Is.
motion was concurred in by a vote of 146
to SO and Messrs. Blanchard, Catchings and
Henderson OF Illinois were appointed con-
ferees.
On motion OF Mr.. Herbert Of Alabama
the Senate amendments TO the naval appro-
priation bill were non -coneurrsd in and
conference was ordered, Messrs. Herbert,
Elliott and Boutelle being appointed con-
ferees.
Then by similar legislative process the
House passed the bill appropriAting $50, 900
for pedestal for a monument to the late
Gen William T. Sherman; the bill admits
ing New Mexico as ssate, with only three
negative votes, and the bill admitting
Arizona as q state, the vote being TIA to 10.
The republicans were unable to muster
sufficient force to order a second on the New
Mexico bill.
One bill failed TO get through on this
rush. Mr. Richardson OF Tennessee moved
TO suspend the rules and pass the bill repeal
ing the statute which imposes a tax of 10
per cent. on the circulation OF all other
than national banks. This was defeated
yeas IS, nays 117.
Mr.. Forney of Alabama moved to sus-
pend the rules and pass the legislative APP
preparation bill.
HENDERSON ATTACKS THE COMMITTEE.
The reading of the bill consumed close to
two hours when Mr. Henderson OF Iowa de-
manded a second. The second having been
ordered, Mr.. Henderson made a fierce attack
upon the committee on appropriations in
cutting down the necessary appropriations .
but he said that it was not the COMMITTEES
on appropriations, but the democratic cam
paign committee of 1892 that demanded it.
[Applause.l The democrats were sacrificing
their country in order to deceive the people.
Mr.. Payne of New York elected great
applause by his query, What has become
Of the sacred rights of the minority so
eternally called for by the democrats of the
last House" With 40 majority, when its
own party press had dashed it and dashed
it, TO go home and give the Democratic
party a chance this fall, now, on June 6 :,
the democrats were in such haste that they
were willing to pass bill sppropriating
$4,000. 900 aud put it through under the
spur Of the two~thirds rule. Applause on
the republican side. The bill was then
passed amid democratic applause.
Mr.. McMillin Of Tennessee introduced
concurrent resolution for final adjournment
Of congress on Monday, July 4. at 2 o'clock.
! The resolution was referred.
The House then adjourned, having sat
continuously until O'clock and transacted
more business than on any previous day OF
the session.
