In Oh interview with reporters In New YORK
July ID John Cbamberiain, the manager oil the
new hotel at Old Point, said that no had all the
money needed 10 complete and open II by fall
Hampton Monitor.
We trust that this IL true. The hotel
accommodations at Old Point are excellent
so far rs they go, but they are not suii'
cient. More room is needed for more peo-
pie. II will be great misfortune If CHAM
nyaL.IS's hotel is not open by the time OF
the great naval display in Hampton
Roads.

Opposition to the Option Bills.

WASHINGTON CRY. Feb. 4.-The oppo-
nents of the option bills had the floor to-
day in the hearing before the House
committee on agriculture. Chicago and
Minneapolis told why the bill would not
benefit the farmers and would hurt the
men engaged in the business of supplying
the demand for grain. Aldrich, of the
Chicago Board of Trade, said:
The board was heartily in favor of The bill so
far as ii related 10 the options designated in
the first section OF the measure, relating 10 ie
ttious sales. That kind of trading had always
been Illegal and had never been recognized by the
board, which had spent great deal OF money
in trying 10 procure the enforcement OF the law
prohibiting gambling contracts. The system IN
operation was the result of a great many years
experience. Il was not something devised
peciaily to give opportunity for dealing in fu-
lures. The boards of trade, like bank clearing
houses, were commercial convenience for ex-
change. The declines which came as q rule
were legitimate and due TO the supply exceed
ing the demand for the crop at times when
prices had been temporarily advanced by specu-
lstive buying, and in short fluctuations
greater on that side than another. IL the bill
under consideration passed it would be the
most disastrous thing for farmers that could
happen and would deprive them OF their sys-
ten Of exchange. II would not be an over
estimate to say that 100000 has been up in
Chicago in margins at one time.
II The committee would report the bin simply
doing sway with fictitious sales he thought
there WAS no doubt that il would meet with the
appreciation OF the members OF the Chicago
Board Oi Trade.
Al Sawyer, one of the largest elevator
men in Minneapolis, said:
He would make no attack on the bill, but
before the present method OF handling grain
wa. destroyed he would ask the committee 10
devise some substitute BY which it could be bet
ter handled. He appealed 20 the committee not
10 knock away the underpiuu!ng by which
wheat merchants like himself protected them
selves from losses without giving them in its
p!ace something equally good.
The committee received a protest against
the passage of the Washburn bill from the
New Orleans cotton exchange. The docu-
ment makes distinction between
futures, +" which it defends as legitimate
contract, and ''oprions. commonly
known as puts and calls" which are
characterized as nothing more nor less
than wagers. 1t Is further asserted that
futures" serve as a restraint TO serious
declines in time OF depression.

agreement between the lieutenant gov

OF which there have been many rumors,
eliminated today, when Messrs Laughton
ana Lindsey, after holding meeting of
the bureau, telegraphed to Mr. Bethune at
Tacoma to come to Olympia tomorrow to
present his annual report and
De relieved from further duty Bethune
replied that owing to the illness of
his wife he could not come until
Monday. On December 5 last the state
geoiogist's bondsmen. B. r. Everett. of
Tacoma, and ". b. Kelly, of Orting, lied
notice with the mining bureau that they
would not serve rs MS sureties longer than
the thirty days required by law for the
giving OF notice of withdrawal from the
bonds. Mr. Bethune has therefore had no
sureties since January 5, but as no meeting
OF the bureau has been held since the notice
was tiled until today no action was taken
with reference to it. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Beihune's status:

causes that il is little more than a larce TO have

No. In that case the board would exercise the
authority given it by law by removing Mr.
Beihuue. ii hislapsed bonds or resignation did
not render such action unnecessary.
Mr.. Bethune and Lieutenant-Governor
Laughton have not been in accord for sew

free IN his criticism of the lieutenent gov
ernor. But Mr.. Laughton this evening
declined to express his opinion OF Mr.
Bethune. 1t was evident, though, that
his opinion was not as high as it used to
be. The lieutenant governor will close

nomination Was the one first 10 be sent 10

WASHINGTON CRY. Feb. Marshal
Martin, of Walla Walla, WASH, has been
in the city several days for the purpose Of
urging the hearing for the application
of q patent in which be Is interested. II
seems that his application has been
pending at the patent office for
some time. Senator Alien accom-
panied Mr.. Martin to the patent Office
and had a conference with the commits
sioner of patents regarding the application
of the Walla Walla man. In view of the
fact that Mr.. Martin had Travelled such .
distance to look up the matter, together
with urgent solicitation of Senator Alien.
the commissioner decided to give Mr..
Martins claim an immediate hearing.
Senator Allen has done considerable
work at the various departments during
the past day or two in the interest OF
the people of his state. He has Wis
tied the treasury department to urge
that the account of ex-United States Mar
shall Jesse ". George, of the state of WASH
ington, be settled. He also looked up the
deposit of the funds of the Coeur d. Alene
Indians received in payment for their
lands. The senator also called at the gem
eral land department to inquire why cer-
tain land patents had not been issued To
residents of the state of Washington.
Land Commissioner Carter told the sena-
tor that this matter would have immediate
attention.
