LITTLE MORE TIME FOR TALK.
Two Hours Added to Give the Orators
Chance.

Two Hours Added to Give the Orators q
Chance.
The time to have voted on the bill was 2
taken up it was seen that the senators had
not yet expended all their oratory and the
time for voting was extended two hours.
Then Wolcott jumped on the measure as
one that would harm those it was intended
to benefit. He said that the antitrust
law should be lesson for senators. 1t
had been passed to prevent trade combina-
tons, which, said it's advocates, raised
prices. But the only effect the law had
was large contributions from the trusts to
the Democratic national committeeman
1t had not affected prices. Anticipation
had not been the issue anywhere in the
recent campaign, and the effect of the law
IL passed would only be to lower prices of
agricultural products Senator Gray also
opposed the bill.
Voting Begins on Amendments.
At last the senators were through the
wind work, and the questions involved
were put to the vote. The first vote was
on the amendment offered by Villas strik-
ing out of the George substitute the words
Noptions and futures as hereinbefore de
hHou dTc htEeDg utCidTeO 10 instructions
and restraints upon commerce among the
states and with foreign countries and to be
illegal and void" Defeated-5O to 81. The
next vote was on the George substitute
which proposed to declare the business of
options and futures an obstacle to and re-
straint upon commerce, and to be illegal
and void Rejected-51 to 49, The uues-
ton was then on the passage of the bill
Harris Felt Bad About 1t.
Harris made a statement of the reasons
which controlled his vote. He regarded
the measure as palpable and ad limited
fraud on the constitution. 1t would de-
stroy home rule, local self-government
and the last vestige of the reserved rights
of the states. In his opinion the bill was
the longest and most fatal step ever pre-
Scented to congress in the tendency to cen
tralization and paternalism. For that
reason he should vote against it in any
form.
Vest Snubs Missouri's Solons.
Vest spoke of the action of the house OF
representatives of the Missouri legislature
instructing the senators from that state tc
vote for the bill and said that he preferred
his own self respect to personal or political
applause. There was sunshine in Other
places besides Washington city and the all
of the prairies was purer than that of the
senate chamber. He should therefore with
the greatest pleasure vote against the bill

crowds thronged the galleries of represent
alive hail, expecting to see at any moment
collision between the leaders of Populists
and Republicans. During the afternoon
the floors of the house were thronged with
big Republicans. who were there to do the
knocking for the Republican side if their
services were needed. One of the first to
enter the hall in the afternoon was Colonel
DIR. X. Anthony, of Leavenworth He an
nounced that he was there to stay and he
would like to see the Populist who could
put him out. This angered several Popu-
lists, but noheof them touched him, as be-
hind him were fifty resolute men, who
would have defended him if he had said
the word.
That Document From Dunsmore.
1t was nearly 4 o'clock in the afternoon
when Speaker Douglass arose in his place
beside Speaker Dunsmore, Populist, to
make an answer to Dunsmore's letter re-
eeived Monday night. He produced the
letter from the POpulist speaker and read
it. Following it an extract:
II can conceive of no iustifiable excuse in
your refusal to recognize the authority of

only possible reason for continued oh
struction now existing is the hope that the
legal quibbling of the laws favor a parti

pie demand at our hands.
Offers to Make Deal
"As but few committees have been an

an adjustment of the present trouble in a
manner favorable to all concerned, and TO
that end l would be pleased to receive and

OF the Legislature as Low organized and the

no such adjustment can be made we will

ing to business without the valuable aid
and advice of yourself and political friends,
and let the people of Kansas judge between

Douglass Replies to the Letter.
Douglass then read his reply. He set
forth once more the Republican claims,
the alleged revolutionary action of the
Populist minority and the forging of the
rolls by Ben G. Rich. Speaker Dunsmore
said: 81 have no reply to made to the let
ter of my friend. Actions speak louder
than words" When Douglass had finished
a unanimous vote of Endorsement was ad-
opted by the Republican house. Later

ANNEXATION OF HAWAII

test from J,hn Bull.
WASHINGTON, Feb There is good rea-
son to believe the attitude of the admins
tration on the Hawaiian question will be
in favor of protectorate by the United
States, but not in favor of annexa ton IN
less that should be necessary. 1t is now
learned here on the best authority that the
movement had been anticipated by the adj
ministration two months ago, and that
the action of our minister there was in
strict accordance with orders from the
state department. It. is understood that
the president is in favor of protectorate,
but not annexation. This could Se brought
about by treaty which would be acted on
by the senate only, and it is probable that
this method may BE- the solution of the
problem. 1t is also learned that no protest
has been received from Great Britain; at
any rate none was presented yesterday

the time had arrived for a well-defined ag-

to read long statement of the population,
