SD CONGRESS.
Petitions Against the Anti
Option Bill in Senate.
Report to Be Made Thursday on the
Restriction Of immigration.


WASHINGTON, Dec. s0.--in the Senate
Dawes presented petition sent him iron
I ST. Louis. IL stated that after years OF
robbery and oppression, the cry of '-S'oE
Thief was raised by the authors and sup
porters of the Washhurne-H Hatch anti-opnor
bill; that the bill is supposed to have
originated in the coupting room
of the Combine" and ia theyery heat and
glare of robbery; asking that committed
be appointed to visit Minneapolis and st
Paul, and all other places " hare the com
bine existed between the elevators, mills
railroads. and in the meantime that action
on the anti-op,ion bill be suspended. The
petition was referred to the committee on
agriculture, as were numerous other Ike
petitions presented by senators on both
siles Of the chamber.
The House concurrent resolution for a
holiday recess from Thursday, December
32, to Wednesday, January 3, was reported
back favorably. but on the objection OF
Sherman (Rep.) Of Ohio was laid ovel
without action.
Among the bills introduced and referred
was one by Sherman (Rep.) of Ohio to ex.
tend to the Northern Pacific ocean, provis'
ions Of the statutes for the protection OF
fur seals and other fur-bearing animals.
The bill introduced by Bate Dem. Tenn.
December 8, TO repeal all statutes relating
to supervisors of elections and special dep
uties :" was taken up. Bate proceeded to
make an argument in its favor.
At the close of Bates argument the Nc
Garrahan bill was laid aside till tomorrow
The House amendment to the Senate bill
authorizing the sale of the Fort Mifilin res
crvation, Deleware. was concnrred in and
the Senate proceeded to executive business
When the doors were reopened the anti
option bill WAS taken up and Palmer adj
dressed the Senate, explaining and defend
ing his objections to the bill. He argued
that the effect of the proposed i'll was to
give collectors of internal revenue absolute
authority over all the contracts made by
any person. for the sale and future delivery
of property.
No senator, hc believed would clam
that Congress possessed the power to pro-
hbit dealings in options or futures IN a
state No man will say, continued Palmer,
that this bill, if it becomes q iaw, will ever
bring ore dollar into the treasury. 1t is a
mere bill of pains and penalties.
The Democratic party, when 1t comes
into power, will not tolerate fraud of the
character of the pending bill. Gambling
in the states will never be prohibited by
federal action but the Democratic party
will enieavor to suppress such vices by
state action, Without concluding his speech,
Palmer welded the floor and the Senate ad-
journed.
