WASHINGTON. Fob. 1.-The published reports
OF the speech made In the Senate yesterday by
Mr.. Wolcott Of Colorado in opposition to the
Anticipation bill give n very Inadequate idea OF

incaracity OF Acknowledgement Miller. and
the statement OF the real issue before the
people ct the recent elections were delight
fully entertaining. and received the involun-
tary tribute OF applause both from tho floor OF
the Senate and the galleries. In speaking
OF the passage Of the Antitrust law in the last
Congress-. Senator wolcott paid his respects
to Acknowledgement Miller in tho fol!wing
paragraph. which caused the solemn Senators
on both sides OF the chamber to smile almost
audiblY.

General Of the United States. Just before the

against them. with such ability as he possessed.
and the only effect accomplished was the con-
