the Anti-option Bill.
WASHINGTON, July 2s.-- Yesterdays
session of ths house will be long re-
membered as a red letter flibustering
day, and the Worlds fair advocates
have reason to feel gratifed at the re-
suit. The crucial test vote of the day was
on the motion of Mr.. Bingham PA, that
the house recede from It's disagreement
to the senate amendment appropriating
$1,000, 900 for the fair. During the pro-
longed discussion that ensued Mr.. Ca
ruth (Ky.) made one Of his characteristic
humorous speeches ip favor Of the ap.
preparation. He had hoped, he said, to
be able to 60 home to his people with.
out further Illuminating the pages Of
The Record with his eloquence But
the vote he was about to cast, taken
in connection with the votes he had al
ready cast, made it necessary that he
should say some words in explanation
1t was his purpose to vote for the ap-
preparation. He voted on a previous
occasion against conourring In the sen.
ate amendment for the reason that at
that time there was difference exist
ing between the manager of the Worlds
fair and the representatives Of organized
labor throughout America, and he had
not proposed by his vote to countenance
the existence of such difference.
VA MIR. Bingham's Motion Carried.
When Mr.. Bingham's motion finally
reached vote it was carried by vote
of III to 101. The filibustering then be-
gan. Mr.. Holman moved to reconsider
the vote, and Mr.. Bingham moved to lay
Mr.. Bolman's motion on the table, Mr.
Cultivate (O.) moved to adjourn, pend
ing that motion, till Friday, and Mr..
Bailey (Tex.) moved to adjourn till Sat
urday. No quorum voting on this mo-
tion q call of the house was ordered, 2a9
members answering to their names. Mr..
Bingham offered and the house adopted
resolution reyoking all leaves of alb
sence except for personal or family ill
ness, and instructing the sergeant at
arms to send for all absentees. Pending
further attempts to filibuster the house
adjourned.
Mr.. Durborow Qlls.) chairman of the
Worlds fair committee, has telegraphed
to many absent members favoring the
appropriation to return to Washington
at once, as the deadlock is liable to con-
tinue for some time if the opponents of
the measure keep up the flibusterins
tactics.
Senators Discuss Anti-Option.
The hot weather in the early part of
the day, before the modifying breeze
sprang up, seemed to have ruffied the
temper of senators and produced an un-
usual number of objections and in
fringements upon customary senatorial
courtesy. In one of these little out
bursts Mr. Blackburn (Ky), intimated
with some apparent satisfaction a belief
that Mr.. Hiscock IN " would not be-
much longer a member of the senate.
Afterwards the anti-option bill was
taken up and discussed, with -
intermission Of calendar busiI .s w.
few hours longer. Mr.. Washl
of desire for vote was
prompt refusal, and at the SUI
Mr., German (Md.) the matte i
over. Mr.. Wolcott, of Col,
press his motion to recommit .-
pone the bill till December.
