Commercial Relations Bill With Canada
Passed-Ag gainst AntI-OntIon Bill

Commercial Relations Bill With Canada
Passed-Agsinst Anti-Option Bill.
WASHINGTON, July 22.-After unimpor-
tant business Peffer addressed the Senate
on his resolution to inquire into the relation
oil employers and employees. He said there
were three ways to meet the labor troubles
one was for the Government TO keep its
hands off; another, for the Government 10
establish and regulate wages, and the third,
the Government to take possession OF pri-
vate establishments and conduct them. At
the close OF his remarks the resolution was
referred to the Committee on Education
and Labor.
Bate addressed the Senate in support of
voorhees, resolution for the establishment
Of tribunal of arbitration in labor contests
and then White resumed his speech against
the anti-optIOn bill.
White called attention to the anomaly
mat IL the bill had not specially excepted
the Government of the United States, the
Government would have been amenable to
the realities of the bill. We're not all the
bills Tor supplies rendered to the Govern
ment made by parties who did not Mt the
time tne contracts were made own the sup
plies? he asked. Referring 10 the fact that
retail dealers were excepted, White said
theTe were so many exceptions i'll the bill il
might well be called an exceptional bill. so
entirely so that he thought ii ought TO be
defeated. lie went on 10 de lare the bill
perniclous and vicious. 1t would strike a
blow at the commerce of the country, and X
was the consensus of opinion on the part of
the commercial bodies that the country was
against the measure ana in this line he had
read protests from various commercial asso-
Citations.
Speaking OF futures" White said that
before that system came into existence the
cotton business was confined TO men of large
capltal, whereas now. under the future de-
livery system, all men were on a footing O
equality and men with small capital were
equals with those OF large capital He had
teiegrams read from many cotton factors in
New Orleans. As to the effect of the "fu-
tnrr system on wheat. White quoted Mr..
I llsbnry's testimony before the House
fOr the last ten years the milers had paid
more for their wheat than they had re-
ceived for the -four made from IT, White
would like to know what became of the
argument that uuder the future" system
the farmers didn't receive for their wheat
as much as they otherwise would have done.
Speaking on cotton again, he said he had
seen lately letter from a German mer-
chant In Hamburg stating that he noticed
that there was an intention to strike down
the exchange business here. and he hoped il
would come over there. White spoke nearly
three hours, aud the bill went over without
action. The House bill TO enforce recipro-
cal commercial arrangements between the
United States and Canada was passed
without division.
After brief executive session the Senate
adjourned.

The Wagner Festival.

BAIREUTH, July %. Tristan und
Isolde" was presented at the Wagner Thea
ter to-day. Rosa Sueher of Berlin, as
Isolde, was accorded the highest praise, and
her beauty excited the liyeliest admiration.
Herr VOgcl of Munich achieved success as
Tristan. Nine. 81. Audigl of Berlin made,
an excellent BTaBgane. Herr Plancke OF
CaTlsruhe was efficient as Kurwenal, Iris
tan's Faithful Frenchman, although at times
his acting, unfortunately, had almost a
laughable effect, solely ON account OF his
great size. Herr Gera OF Munich had the
role of King Mark, aud Herr Gerhausen oil
Baireuth was the trait0r0us Sir Meiot.
Frau Wagner herself was present The
enthusiasm Of a number Of French people
IN the audience over the production was SO
marked as to exotic comment.

PETALUMA, July pa fire broke out on
the Skiffington ranch about three miles
south of Petaluma to-day about II o'clock.

LONDON, July S2-To inquiries addressed
to Douglas, the chief Conservative whip,
to-day, as to whether the Government, if
defeated on the vote of "no confidence"
would persist in remaining in Office, he re-
sponded: 1.-The Government will act in ac-
cordance with precedent and the coRstitu-
tion." As the balance Of the precedents Is
distinctly toward immediate resignation on
defeat, the whips reply can be taken as
opposed to the reports that Salisbury will
challenge the validity Of Gladstone's major
ily and try TO govern with a minority. The
article in the Post adopting the suggestion
does not carry much weight. The Post is
not an inspired organ, and the result OF re-
searches made to-day in official quarters by
the representative of the Associated Press
has confirmed the previous statement that
both tue Conservative and Liberal Unionist
leaders have decided to resign on the first
vote in which the majority is against them.
The result OF meeting of q small group
of Radicals in the house of Harcourt yes
terday has been the introduction Of the first
note OF Giseord in the party. After the
meeting several members of the Commons
who were present appeared at the National
Liberal Club. where they announced that 4
memorial would be sent 10 Gladstone urg-
Ing nun 70 put the leading piankS OF the
Newcastle programme TO the forefront and
home rule in the background. Although
the general feeling al the club is dis tinctly
IN favor of this course. yet the desire TO
leave Gladstone unfettered is stronger, and
the proposed Radical protest. as likely 10
embarrass him, is disapprcyed. The move
ment is causing an internal row.
The reserved attitude Of the IRISH leaders
is in contrast with this premature activity
OF the Radicals. Dillon and O'Brieu and
other McCarthyite chiefs Will not be inter-
viewed for the present.

brought some friend 10 the place, who, he
says, spent considerable money buying wine.
