A PROMINENT SENATOR'S vIEws.
A prominent senator said this morning
that he thought the debate on the anti
option bill had been spun out 20 a sufficient
length and that there was a feeling that the
measure should be forced to a vote. He
has always favored The bill, and now sntic-
lpates that within a week after the Senate
convenes vote will be taken and that the
bill will pass. There is a very considerable
majority Of the Senate in favor OF legisla-
tion that will correct the evil the WASH
burn bill is designed to remedy; but the
majority is not SO great in favor OF the
particular measure now under discussion.
Senator Mitchell, however, is very con-
fident that the bin will pass by a clear ma
jority and that the debate win be ended
very shortly after the Senate again gets to
work
FINANCIAL LEGISLATION.
Referring to the fnRnoial measures that
had been introduced, and particularly those
which bad the repeal Of the Sherman law in
view, MIR. Mitchell said that he did not
think any serious attempt would be made TO
force those bills TO a vote. Iu both houses
he thought there was large majority against
the repeal Of the act which authorizes the
Secretary of the Treasury to purchase sill
YER. He was very positive that the majority
in the Senate against the repeal Of the law
was sufficient to Withstand any assaults that
might be made on It. This congress, he
says, will do nothing in the matter OF flnau-
cial legislation.
