WASHINGTON, June 19-Hatch has at

In its favor he said there was not single
provision in the bill which had not re-
ceived the approval Of every board of trade
in the country in its charter or rules and
regulations, which required the actual de-
livery Of articles purchased for future de-
livery. This bill would compel this de-

He ma:ntainsd that the passage Of the
bill would inJare the export trade Of the
country which was largely carried on by .
system Of dealing in options.
Bryan considered this q bill to prevent
gambling in certain products, and it wa
unjust to his constituents (who were
mainly farmers) that other men should
have the right to affect the price of their
product after they had taken the risk OF
rain and drought and grasshoppers and
chintz bugs. There was no difference be-
tween the action of the burglar who went
to mans home and robbed him Of his
goods and the action OF the man who on
the stock exchange drove down the price
OF another mans product and thus de.
prived him of SO much to which he was
justly entitled.

tot.
WAsHrNGToN, June 19.-The alleged an,
archist plot to blow up the White House,
Capitol and other government buildings
has not bothered residents to any great
degree. The Post here printed a sensa-
tional yarn to the effect that Honore Jax-
son, a Chicago man who came here with
the Coxeyites, was Mt the bottom of Cd
gantic plot to blow up the Capitol, and
likely rs not other public buildings, and
had got So far along as to have concocted
terribly destructive explosive with
fumes so very bad that they would kill a
cat. Chief Hazelton, of the secret service,
admits having received information of an
anarchistic plot during the early days of
the Coxey movement, but said that he
could discover nothing more than that
Informer de Madders was not reliable and
that Jaxson was not dangerous. There
upon he had dropped the matter 1t may
be said that the people of the city are feel

thing down very fine and had all the
facts dead to rights" with the hand
cuffs ready for JaXon the moment he
should make a move. But Chicago news
paper men here, who know Jaxon, only
laugh at the story. They refuse to take
it seriously and say that Jaxon has been
''stringing" somebody One of these men,
who has known Jaxon for years. said:
''If the truth about this scare was known
have no doubt it would be found that
Jaxon himself was the man who gave all
the information. Jaxon is a wind-bag
and is simply insane on the subject OF
newspaper notoriety. He would rather
see his name in the papers than eat. To
secure this notoriety he is willing &c
identify himself with any movement, to
give it his entire tine and attention, and
as matter Of fact, ne lost an excellent
business IN ChlcaSo simply because pub
