WILL FORCE A VOTE.
Hatch Determined to Have the
Anti-Option Bill Acted On.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-The commit
tee on agriculture met this morning
with nearly ali the members present,
and by unanimous vote adopted a
resolution asking the committee OH
rules for a special order giving one or
two days for the consideration OF the
anti-Option bill. Cloture is not asked in
the resolution, but will be moved on
the house. rhe committee then waited
on Speaker Crisp and laid the resolu-
ton before him. The members expect
decision to be reached by the rules
committee on the request within a few
days, but if they do not hear soon will
endeavor to force consideration or tie
I'D the house. There has been a prac-
tical abandonment of the plan to send
the bill to conference, where this
amendment might be examined, and it
is proposed to move in the house, when
ever the bill is taken up, to concur in
these amendments, so that the bill may
be sent Immediately to the president.
The plan of procedure is largely left
with Chairman Hatch. Mr.. Hatch said
today that he did not Gale to make any
threat, but he intended to have a vote
before the 4th of March. A resolution
for the anti-option bill, he added, had
been before Jn6 rules committee IOr
three weeks. If it did not act soon, he
would call his committee together, and,
if the instruction was given to him, he
would carry it out if an extra session
became necessary. He asked for day
for the bill. and If given he would see
that a vote was obtained. He would
yield gracefully to a square vote against
the bill by majority of the house, but
he did not intend to be beaten by fill
busters.
DETROIT, Feb. 15.-Today the follow
ing telegram was sent to Congressman
j. Logan Chipman, ,Detroit's representa-
tive at Washington:
''PIease note the immense Northwest
ern four-milling trust already formed,
as outlined by morning papers, antici-
pating passage antl-option bill. Please
ventilate. Is it possible that our legis-
Iative bodies at Washington can be
longer deceived as to the real incentive
for this vicious bill?

A SPECIAL SESSION.

Chairman ED WALL, of the Wisconsin
state committee, is back from the East,
and says that the defeat of the silver
early special session of congress. This
is all right. But he says that the ses-
sion will be called for the sole conSid-
Grafton of the silver situation, and that
tariff will be- deferred until fall.
Whether Mr.. WALL speaks by the card,
or whether he is only guessing, or
whether he is only made to say what
some reporter thought he should say,
is merely conjectural; but it is safe to
say that any special session which does
not include in its purpose a cOnsldera-
ton of the tariff will be such mistake
that it would better not be called at all.
The silver question, by mutual consent
of the only two parties seriously i'll the
struggle, was relegated to the rear, and
the fight was made to the finish on the
tariff question. 1t was made, too. on
the most advanced ground the party has
taken for years. 1t met the Republican
movement 20 ultra protectionlsm with
defiant declaration that the purpose of
the Democracy was to cut protection,
root and branch, from out the revenue
system.
When MILLS was defeated and CRISP
elected speaker. and when he gave the
silver bill the right of way and sent the
tariff question to the second place. there
was feeling of Encouragement all
along the line. Had the same relative
positions been given these two ques-
tions by the national convention, even
Mr.. CLEVELAND could not have carried
the party to victory. 1t will be bitter
disappointment now to hundreds of
thousands of earnest Democrats if sill
yer is given first place. Not-only that,
but it will check, if it do not repel, the
movement TO US from the Republican
party of men of whom GRESHAM,
COOLEY, REA and MCVEAGH are types.
1t would be taken by them as justitica-
tion of the distrust in the earnestness
and sincerity of the Democratic party
which had deferred them from sooner
joining 1t.
The GLOBE will not believe until it
reads it in the call for the extra session
that Mr.. CLEVELAND will give preee-
dence to the silver question, and it
freely confesses that if it does read it
there it will be very much disappointed.

OBJECT TO EGAN.
Chilians Do Not Want Pat as an
ArDitra tor.


New YORK, Feb. 15.-The Herald's
special correspondent at Valparaiso
telegraphs that paper that there is great
excitement i'll Valparaiso and Santiago
over the report that United States Min
lister Patrick Egan is to be appointed
one OF the arbitratorS on the part of the
United States to settle the claims of
citizens of that country against the
Gillian government. This information
was conveyed in cable message re-
ceived by Minister of Foreign Affairs
Errazuriz yesterday from Washington,
in which it was intimated that Mr..
Egan would be named as one of the ar
bitrators for the United States. Should
Mr.. Egan receive such all appointment
strong protest from the Chilian gov
ernment may be expected. Mr.. Egan
is not persona grata to the Chilian
government, and his close relation with
Dubois, who holds the leading claims
against Chill. are believed to be such as
to diSqualify him from acting as an
Arbitrator. The protest. however, if one
should e'oficially made, against his
appointment. would be founded upon
the charge that his attitude toward the
Gillian government has been offensive
and insulting.
