Mardi Gras Festivities.

New ORLEANS, Feb. 6.-Mardi
Gras is being royalty celebrated
here today and the number of
strangers in the city, many having
reached here on the morning
trains, exceeds that of any previous
year. The weather could not have
been better if made to order, for it
was bright, the sun shining and
warm. The streets along the line
of parade are crowded to suffoca-
ton with sight-seers, who, while
waiting for the pageant, found
much amusement in watching the
antics of the grotesque maskers,
who came from all parts Of the city
and conferred in and around the
neighborhood of the canal.
The pageant today is an exquis-
lite one. Rex selected for his sub
ject the illustrations from litera-

In the Senate.

WASHINGTON, ID. G. Jan. g.
There is a possibility that the Sen
ate will pass the George anti-op-
ton bill, which was introduced
only short time ago and seeks to
prevent dealings in options and
futures by making it crime in
stead Of taxing them out OF
existence, as provided for in
the Washburn bill. Several
senators have announced that they
are willing to give the George plan
a trial, even If they prefer the 9TH
er. The principal objection made
to the George bill is that the deal
ers will either evade it, or it will be
declared unconstitutional. 1t Is
expected that Hatch will have a
fight on his hands, to secure the
reference of his bill to the Commit
tee on Agriculture, Of which he Is
chairman, instead of the Ways and
Means committee, where his op
ponents will try to send it.
