Bill.
0lE0MARGARINE BILL is UP.
a Fnibuster Consumes the Time of the
House - Mr.. Cannon Outwitted, but
Forces Roll Calls for Three Hours
No Quorum Point Taken for Delay.

Washington, D. c., Feb. 1S.-The
Grout oleomargarine bill was taken up
In the senate today.
That the opposition to the shipping
bill in the senate will not permit a
vote to be AIKEN on the measure at the
present session was made clear during
The closing hour of yesterdays session
For several days it has been evident
that it would be difficult to gain unan-
tmous consent to take a vote upon the
measure, but not until now was the
frank assertion made that a vote could
not be had. At the conclusion of sew
eral hours consideration of the bill,
Mr.. Teller (Col.) announced his pur-
bose to prevent vote at this session.
In an impassioned speech he declared
that he would not consent to any
agreement to vote, and that it must be
evident to the advocates of the bill
that no vote could be had. The state
ment of the Colorado senator elected
sharp response from Mr.. Aldrich
tR- -, who insisted that despite the
declaration of Mr.. Teller the business
Of the senate would proceed in accord
ance with the wishes Of the majority.
Mr.. Teller's statement also drew the
tire of Mr.. Chandler IN. H., who as
serted that the position of the oppo-
sition was preposterous. Mr.. Hanna
tOhio) replied to Mr.. Teller in force
tul speech, in the course of which he
became impassioned in his denuncia-
HIM nf tho Tnafhndc MIR INV ha
opposition to defeat the measure. The
advocates Of the bill, he said, were
honestly endeavoring to advance the
best interests of the country, and he
resented the insinuations against their
honesty of purpose.
Filibuster In the House.
Under the leadership of Mr. Cannon,
chairman OF the appropriations COM
mittee, long filibuster consumed the
time Of the house. Mr.. Cannon desired
civil appropriation, but was caught
mapping by the Democrats, who desired
to devote the day to the considera-
ton of private claims. 1t was the last
day under the rules which could be
devoted to claims at this congress, and
notices had been sent out asking the
Democrats to be in their seats. As
result Mr.. Cannon was outwitted, but
he kept up the fight all day, forcing
roll calls for three hours and later
flibustering in committee of the whole
and winding up by making the point
OF no quorum against two small bills
fayorably acted upon in committee.
The net result was that the whole day
was wasted.
To Favor the st. Louis Fair.
The special committee on the st.
Louis exposition at meeting held au-
thorized Chairman Tawney next Mon
day to move the passage Of the st.
Louis exposition bill under suspension
OF the rules. Speaker Henderson has
agreed to recognize Mr.. Tawney to
make this motion. When a motion to
suspend the rules is made no amend
ments are in order.

Now that farmers are saving their fod-
der, some estimation can be given of the
corn crop. There Is every reason to be-
lieve that il will be larger than for sew
eral seasons. Owing to the fact that the
crop is so small in the West, there is rea-
son to believe that the price of grain will
be steep, and farmers should derive good
profits from their crop.
