ANTI-OPTION BILLS.
Protests From Cotton Exchange and
Board of Trade People.

Protests From Cotton Exchange and
Board of Trade People.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 4-The house COM
mittee on agriculture, now considering
several measures restricting or prohibit
ing dealings in options on agricultural
products, today received protest
against the passage of the Washburne
bill relating to that subject, from the
New Orleans cotton exchange. The
document makes distinction between
Cultures" which it defends as legiti-
mate contracts, and "options" commonly
known as 'puts and CALLS" which are
characterized as nothing more or less
than pure gambling. 1t is farther as
serted that futures" serve as restraint
to serious declines III times of depres-
sion.
The opponents of the apti-option bills
had the floor today in the hearing be-
fore the house committee on agriculture.
Chicago and Minneapolis men told why
the bill would not benefit the farmers,
and would hurt the men engaged in the
business of supplying demand for
grain.
Mr.. Aldrich of the Chicago board of
trade said the board was heartily in
favor of the bill, so far as it related to
options as designated in the first section
OF, the measure, relating to fictitious
sales, that kind of trading had always
been illegal and never recognized. The
board had spent great deal of money
in trying to procure the enforcement of
the law prohibiting gambling contracts.
The system In operation was
the result of great many
years. experience. 1t was not
something devised specially to give an
opportunity for dealing in futures !;
boards of trade, like bank clearing
houses, were commercial conveniences
for exchanges. The declines which
came, as rule, were legitimate and due
to the supply exceeding the demand for
crops. At other times prices advanced
temporarily by reason of speculative
buying and in short Quotations greater
ON that side than on the other.
Continuing, Aldrich said if the bill
under consideration passed, it would be
the most disastrous thing for the farm
ers that could happen, and would de-
prive them of their system of exchanges.
Aldrich said it would not be over-esti-
mated to say that only $5,000,0OO were
up in Chicago in margins at one time.
Aldrich said if the committee would
report bill simply doing away with
fictitious sales, he thought there was no
doubt that it would meet with the ap-
probation of the members of the Chi
cago board of trade.
A. J. Sawyer, one of the largest ele-
vator men in Minneapolis, said he would
make no attack on the bill, but before
the present method of handling grain
was destroyed, he would ask the com
mittee to devise some substitute by
which it could be better handled.
Sawyer appealed to the committee not
to knock away the underpinning by
which wheat merchants, like himself,
protected themselves against losses,
without giving them in its place some
thing equally as good.

The San francisco Public Building Ques-
tion Open Again.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-The commits
sion having in charge the matter of the
selection and purchase of site for a
public building at San Francisco, con-
sisting of the postmaster-genera the
secretary of the treasury and the attor-
ney-general met today and decided that
the purchase of the Seventh and Mis-
sion streets property should not be con-
summated till every effort had been
made to discover the truth as to the
charges of bribery which have been
made against the local commission. A
special agent of the treasury, it is stated,
has been investigating the matter, but
thus far has not discovered anything
tangible upon which adverse action can
be taken.
The commission today ordered the
publication, through the public press,
OF the request that any person or per-
sons having any knowledge of bribe
having been received by the local COM
mission, to communicate the same to
general commission at Washington.
AS to the Jesse-street site, the post
master-general said question of title
had arisen which the Authorities OF
San Francisco will be Obliged to pass
upon before any action in yhat case will
be taken,

THE SILVER BRICK CASE.
Argument of Counsel Before the Su
preme Court.

preme Court.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-The supreme
court of the District of Columbia today,
sitting in bank, heard counsel in the
''silver brick" case. Jere Wilson ap-
peared for the petitioners and Assistant
Attorney General Maury for the govern
ment. Wilson asserted that the act OF
'73 which demonetized silver was un-
constitutional, if that part of the
act still remains. He insisted, however,
that it does not remain, but that
this feature was repealed by the
act of 1878. Assistant Attorney General
Maury read an abstract from the de-
cision OF the United States supreme
court in the case of the United States
ex rel. Dunlap vs. Blake, in which it
was stated that the court would not in
terfere by mandamus with the execu-
tive officers Of the government in the ex-
ercise of their ordinary duties, even
where those duties require the interpre-
tation of the law, the court having no
appellate power for that purpose"
Resting on the law as settled by the
case cited, Maury declined to enter
upon argument in support of the views
of the statute in question, taken by the
secretary of the treasury, unless re-
quested to do so by the court.

CHICAGO, Feb. 4.-The Chicago direc-
tors OF the worlds fair have concluded
that they can run their part of the great
exposition without any financial help
from Uncle Sam. Congress will not be
asked to loan or appropriate dollar
for the local directory. All the funds
needed to complete the building
and grounds, in readiness to
turn over to the president and the
national commission, will be supplied
by Chicago bankers and capitalists who,
it is said, have already guaranteed to
make good any possible deficit. Con-
gress will, however, be given bill for
consideration which will provide
for an appropriation of about
100000 to be handled entirely
by the national commission, in
execution of the work expressly dele
gated to the national commission. This
plan of legislation was finally decided
upon today at the conference between
the directory committee and Chairman
st. Clair of the national commissions
committee. The appropriation, it is
proposed, shall be divided as fol-
lows Juries and awards, 100000;
board in charge of government
exhibits, $500. 900; board of lady man.
ayers, $l25,000; administration of the
fifteen departments. meetings of nation
al commission, exploitation and salaries,
about $2,500,000. This estimate covers
the fiscal year from June 80, '92, to
June 80, 1913.

New ORLEANS, Feb. 5.-Fitzsimmons,
who attempted suicide in Jail here yes
terday, died at l O'Clock this morning.
Fitzsimmons, it will be remembered,

OF Detective Gilkinson, March 21st last.
He had been suspected Of several rob-
berries, and on the afternoon OF the date

THE SOLID NINE.
Peoples Party Representatives In Con-
gress Pulling Together.

Peoples Party Representatives in Con-
gress Pulling Together.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-The Peoples
party in the house of representatives is
intact as political organization and
united as to the party measures it is to
press. In a caucus which met before
the organization of the house, the nine
Independent representatives decided to
preserve their political autonomy on
all questions to the end of the
session. Within the past few
days various reports of alleged dissen-
sions in the ranks of the Alliance repre-
sentatives have been current, and they
complained tonight that these rumors
were inspired by politicians of other
parties, and telegraphed throughout the
country for political effect. They there
fore determined to issue an address to
the country, in which they say at no
meeting was any motion or suggestion
made that the Alliance should
Join the Democratic party or cast
their lot with it. No disagreement oc-
Cured because certain Alliance con-
gressmen thought the contest should be
made through the old parties, and the
others that independent action was
necessary. There has been no split,
and each member still believes that in
dependent political. action is necessary.
The only dissension that has come,
came when they had conferences with
congressman who adhere 70 old party
lines.
In the interview Watson of Georgia
said when Livingstone and those who
follow him say they are for the Ocala
demands, but will not hold them in
subordination to the Democratic caucus
or Democratic party machinery, they
certainly take a very different view
Of the necessity for those measures
Los Angeles herald., 1892-02-05

Now that the supreme court has sus-
tanned the constitutionality of the anti
lottery postal act, even the lottery
company recognizes the futility of
its future existence. The acts of
the fifty-frst congress shall stand well
in the test OF time"
With regard to the rules just adopted,
Reed said: The principle of RESPONSE
BILE government in the house has been
more ruthlessly violated in that part of
the new regulations relating to the
power of the committee on rules, than
was ever dreamed of in the fifty-frst
congress. The power to enforce
the will of the house is lodged in
important measures to that COM
mittee, 80 that party legislation
can have full swing; while the bill of an
individual member, even if approved by
the house, if left to the mercy of fiji
busters. The right Of present quorum
has been denied, and the farce of a
member present for purpose absent
has been revived. All this, how ever,
time and tfie supreme court will take
care of. Meanwhile it will be a source
of regret to the country that more
liberal measures for the promotion OF
innocent, useful, non-partisan and
necessary legislation were not adopted.
Debate has shown that the good ex-
ample of the last two years has not been
entirely lost. What used to be called
tyranny" and is now on the road to be
called 'sgood sense" has been estab-
lished in the great and unexampled
power conferred ON the commit
tee on rules. The folly of vast
ing the time OF the Q house in
the reference of bills has been forever
done away with, thanks to the example
set by the last congress. The country
knows that the house can do all it
wants to do. The ostrich has left off
concealing himself by putting his head
in the sand.

A CONTROVERSY ENDED.
How the Administration Snubbed the
Idaho Senators.

How the Administration Snubbed the
Idaho Senators.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-The confirma-
ton by the senate today of the nomina-
ton of James III. Beatty to be district
Judge of Idaho marks the termination,
in favor of the administration, of a
struggle lasting nearly a year which it
had with the Iowa senators. Beatty
was nominated February 10th last, in
spite of the protests of Senators Shoup
and Mcconnell, who sought to convince
the president that the nomination
would not be acceptable to the people of
Idaho. The opposition was able to
prevent action upon the nomination
during the few weeks that remained of
the last session of the fifty-frst congress.
Three days after the adjournment Of
congress, however, the president ap-
pointed Beatty to the judgeship, and
his nomination was one of the first to be
sent to the senate at the beginning of
the present congress.
Again the Idaho senators resumed
their opposition to the nomination, but
for nearly year Judge Beatty had been
discharging the functions of his Office in
Idaho and California. His decisions
have been sustained whenever an appeal
has been taken to the superior tribunal,
and it was not possible to pick any
flaws in his judicial career. These facts
naturally had the effect of a favorable
termination, and the senators soon
found that several of their Republican
colleagues, who had been in sympathy
with them last year, had changed their
minds and determined to support the
president. A week ago Shoup and Du-
and after notifying the judiciary COM
mittee that they had nothing to retract,
further, sthey abandoned the contest,
and the nomination was confirmed to-
day without any opposition.

WORLDS FAIR RESOLUTIONS
sayres of Texas Wants Thorough In
vestigation.


WASHINGTON, Feb. Am the house,
today, Sayres of Texas, from the COM
mittee on appropriations, reported a
resolution providing for an investiga-
tion into the worlds Columbian exposi
ton. The resolution is sweeping in
terms, and proposes that the inquiry
into the subject of expenditures be
made to extend to all money raised for
the fair, both locally and by congress.
The worlds fair people, however,
promptly insisted upon Representative
Durbrow reporting resolution passed
by the worlds fair committee, providing
for an investigation by that committee
into the management and expenditures
for the fair. The investigation into the
matter of expenditures for the fair is.
however, restricted to money appropri-
ated by the federal government. The
contest between the two committees for
jurisdiction promises to be bitter when
the resolutions are called up in the
house.
