NEW YORK, Feb. 3.-The DEVELOPMENTS of
last evening concerning the reorganization of
the Richmond Terminal and the asserted ac-
quirement of control of the Old Colony by the
Reading. Boston and Maine combine made these
stocks the center of interest at the opening this
morning. and with distillers and New England
they monopolized the great bulk of the trans
actions for the hour.
All we're higher than last evening and Rich
mond and West Point rose to II. a gain of /
per cent from last night, while Reading opened
up Is at SOL and advanced to 50$4, but later
fell away to 49js. the story of the deal with the
Old Colony being denied in some quarters.
New England as the probable greatest gamer
by the supposed deal was up ~ at the opening
at 49,. but after touching 40 reacted also l
per cent. Richmond and West Point also lost
the greater part of its gain and distillers, on
comparatively moderate trading, retired per
cent to 40l5.
The one strong point in the list was G. and
o., which advanced per cent to 24$4 on un-
usually large trading, and held most of the
advance. The general market was very quiet
and unaffected by additional engagement
of s1.o00,O00 gold for export tomorrow. pre-
senting no feature with a dropping tendency.
At IL o'clock the market was fairly active and

overcome and Omaha again became conspicuous
for strength, rising from $40 to sc. The coal
stocks were also stronger, and Lackawanna

Among the specialties Ohio Southern advanced
from A to 46, but lost half the improvement

THE laNTI-oPrIoN BILL.
Its Opponents Declare Their Intention 90
Filibuster Against n.

The opponents of the anti-opuon bill declare
their intention TO fihbuster against that measure
as long as possible. Mr.. Fitch said to a srAn se-
porter today that they intended to fight against
the bill unitedly to prevent action and that they
would not be deferred by any fear Of an extra
session. On the other hand, Mr.. Hatch. who
is the father and champion of the bill. says
that he is in no hurry, and will take his
time, but is certain to pass the bill II 10
claimed tina: this bill has the privileges
Of the floor a revenue bill and NAV be called
up at any time. This will give the committee
an advantage over those who are flibus-
tering and is apt to result in the passage
of the bill. ANY such prolonged fih-
buster as would be necessary TO prevent
the vote being taken would be almost certain

and bring about an extra session. To guard
against this very earnest effort will be made
to press appropriation bills ahead Of every
thing else until they are all disposed Of.

was agreed to.
THE SPEAKERS DECISION.
The Speaker laid before the House the anti
option bill with Senate amendments thereto
and proceeded to deliver his decision on the
point of order that the amendments must first
be considered in committee of the whole He
stated that the bill was laid before the House
Tor reference only, unless it be n House bill
with Senate amendments which did not re-
quire consideration in committee of the
whole. The question was one of fact as to
whether the Senate amendments to this bill
required such consideration. In the Senate
amendments the article of flour" was men
toned. This was a new and distinct subject
matter OF taxation. and it seemed to the chair
that this amendment, at least, must have its
nrst consideration in committee of the whole.
This bill was before the House for reference to
a standing or a select committee and not for
present consideration. The Judgment Of the
chair was that the bill should be referred to a
standing or select committee. He therefore
sustained the point Of order against Mr.. Hatch S
motion to non-concur in the Senate amendments
and to agree to a conference.
Mr.. HATCH's MOTION.
MIR. Hatch did not appeal, but moved to
refer the bill to the committee on agriculture,
and on that motion demanded the previous
question
Mr.. Boatner U.a.) made a point of order
that the bill did not belong to the committee
on agriculture, but to the committee on ways
and means.
The Speaker suggested that it was in the
power of the House to refer the bill to whatever
committee it wished
Mr.. kilgore (Tex.) made the further point
that the bill having been originally reported by
the committee on agriculture that was its
natural reference now, and the chair had not
the right to entertain motion to refer it to
that committee. II a motion to refer was
made it should be made for reference to some
other committee.
The Speaker overruled the points of order
and held Mr.. Hatch's motion to be a proper
one.
The question was then on Mr. Hatch's de-
mand for the previous question. On division
the vote stood ITO to 65 and Mr.. Cummings
On. " vociferousy demanded the yeas and
nays, which were ordered.
The previous question was ordered-yeas ISL,
nays Sand the bill was referred to the COM
mittee on agriculture without division.
THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE
The Speaker then laid before the House the
Presidents message relative to the bond transi.
over Canadian roads.
The reading consumed almost an hour and
the message was then referred to the committee
on foreign affairs.
The House then proceeded in committee to
the consideration of the deficiency appropria-
ton bill.

SILVER IN INDIA.
Lord Lansdown Presented with Resolutions
Against Free Coinage.

CALCUTTA, Feb. IA deputation of native
AID European merchants and others today
waited upon Lord Lansdown, viceroy of
India, and submitted to him the resolu-
tions adopted few days ago at a
meeting of the representatives Of all the
mercantile classes demanding that in view of
the failure Of the Brussels monetary conference
to arrive at any conclusion on the bimetallic
is-ue the government OF India should i'm
mediately close the mints TO free coinage.
Lord Lansdown said that the Indian Cur
rency Association had strengthened the case by
leaving the proposals to change the standard
for future consideration. The opponents of
the change must now show that while q change
OF the currency standard OF value
from silver TO gold would benefit other nations
it would damage India. The whole question
must, however, await the issue OF the Herschell
currency commission, appointed in England to
consider the question.

bluff showed that he had tried to regain
the footing which he had lost.
Good went to the nearest telephone sta
ton and notified the police. who in turn
notified the Coroner. Deputy Coroner
Carew was the first to arrive on the scene.
He with difficulty detached the hanging
body from the vicelike grip OF the rosts.
The body was taken to the Morgue,
where an autopsy made by DR.. O'COnnell
showed that the man must have swung
against the bluff until rendered uncon-
scious by the rush of blood to his head.
In his efforts TO regain his footing he had
clawed the bluff with his hands. and his
body swinging to and fro against the
rocks had received great cuts on the breast
and face.
Later in the day the deceased was iden-
tilted as Joseph Dent who for five years
is supposed that Dent, who left the Aims
house few days ago. was returning home
and took short cut across the hills, in
stead of following the road. He evidently
was Tot aware Of the cut that had recently
been made. In attempting to climb the
fence he probably swung himself over ex-
pectiDg to land on solid ground. He fell.
but not to the bottom Of the cut. His foot
caught between the posts. HIS death must
have been lingering and horrible one.
Ii he died alone IN his agony no one heard
him. unless 1t was passer-by.
The physicians think that he must have
struggled ana swung for hours.
What is peculiar about the case is that
the leg by which Dent was hung between
the posts was bare. The other leg was
covered with stocking and shoe.
Dent left the Almshouse on November
IA and was arrested on the next day for
drunkenness. He was "a years old. Moth
ing is known about his antecedents.
There were 81 and silver watch in his
pockets

HE LEFT THE ALMSHOUSE
Found Dead Suspended With His
Head Downward.
ONE OF HIS FEET WAS BARE
The Peculiar End of an INDECENT s
Existence-Nothing Is Known
of His Antecedents.

Early yesterday morning James Good.
who lives on Twenty-third street near its
intersection with the Corbett road. started
out to look at the improvements being
made on the new street which is to take
the place of the old thoroughfare. The
graders had during the past week made a
cut some ten feet in depth below the level
of the road. and along the edge of this
cut over the hill there was fence which
marked the boundary between tho Sutro
lands and the public street.
AS Good neared the cut he saw dangling
from the fence above what appeared to be
the body of a man. He hurried to the
place and found his suspicious were cor
rect. Caught by one leg fastened between
two posts Of an old gate the body of an oil
man was dangling. The coat that he wore
had fallen over his head and had hidden
it. His hands were torn and covered with
blood, and marks upon the face of the
