ANTI-OPTION BILL
SOUTH PARTICULARLY WATCH
ING ITS PROGRESS.
Gill Aimed at Dealing in Cotton
Futures Sweeping-Opposition
Strong in Senate.

WashingtOn.-Lively interest Is felt,
especially in the South, in the Scott
anti-option bill. now pending in the
senate. The bill is officially II tech
nically known as IAN act to prohibit
interference with mon
the states and territories, and with
foreign nations, and to remove OD-
structions thereto, and to prohibit the
transmission OF certain messages by
telegraph, telephone, cable OF other
means of communication, between
states and territories ana foreign ma
tiOnS.'
Section > OF this bill makes it un-
lawful for any person to send or cause
to be sent any message Offering to
make or enter into a contract for
the purchase or sale of cotton with
out intending that such cotton shall
be actually delivered and received,
and provides penalties for violation.
Section 5 makes it the duty Of any
person sending any message relating
to a contract for the future delivery
of cotton, to furnish to the person
transmitting the message an affidavit
to the effect that the message does
not relate to the character of con
tracts described in section 2, and pro-
vides penalties for any false state
ment that may be made in such at
fidavit.
The purpose of the bill is to re
strict, so far may be those trans
actions on the cotton exchanges Of the
country which are recognized as deal
ing only with the fluctuations in prices
and which do not involve the actual
transfer of the commodity.

Attempts to Speak of Departed Col
Ieagues-sinks in Chair Before
He Can Finish.

Westinghouse affected by his
emotions and weakened by the illness
with which he was stricken during the
last session of congress as to be I'M
able to continue, Senator Tillman of
South Carolina sank sCbbing into his
seat shortly after having begun a
speech in eulogy of the late Senator
Alexander S. Clay of Georgia and jon
athan P. DOlliver Of Iowa. Senator
Bacon Of Georgia moved hastily e
and took a seat by the South Carroll
MAN. A few words from Mr.. Bacon in
a measure restored the control OF his
nerves to Mr.. Tillman, and shortly al
terward he feebly walked from the
chamber
The scene was an affecting one,
members on the floor and spectators
in the gallery being moved visibly.
The attempt to speak at length was
the first Mr.. Tillman had made since
his return to his duties, and his friends
had feared that it might prove 90
great a tax upon his impaired strength.
Mr.. Tillman's concluding words
were:
"Dolliver, as we all called him, was
a great man. Great men are plentiful
in this country, but not so great as
Dolliver. Good men are plentiful in
this country, but not so good as Clay.
They both have left us, and we know
not how soon our own time may come.
I feel that with especial force. But
but l a not go on, Mr.. President. l
have thoughts, but the words will not
come. So | will sit down."

HOBSON WOULD
FORTIFY CANAL
SUNDRY CIVIL BILL WILL CARRY
100000 FUND.
United States Must Fight Three Wars
Before Beginning War on
Prepared Basis.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS FIJI
gerald of New York, a member of tn :
committee on appropriations, an
nounced in the house Monday that the
sundry civil bill would carry a pro-
vision for the fortifcation of the
Panama canal. The statement was
made in response to a question from
Mr.. Hobson of Alabama, and was
greeted with applause.
1t is understood hat the suEdry
civil bill, when reported by the ap-
propriations committee, will carry
$4,000, 900 for the fertilization Of the
canal.
Declaring that Japan is now hard
up" because that government already
has finaced her next war, Representa-
tive Hobson drew a gloomy view OF
the unpreparedness of the United
States for war. He said the United
States government was in such a
state of ~unreadiness that it would
ave to fight the equivalent of three
wars before really beginning a war on
q prepared basis.
Mr.. Hobson predicted hat the Pan
anna canal would never be used by
this government in wartime because
it would either not be completed or
adequate means would be found to
prevent It's use Instantly upon a decla-
ration of war. He pictured Japanese
occupancy of the Philippines, Hawaii,
Guam, Samoa, Aleutian Islands, Alas
ka, Puget Sound and other parts OF
The United States and its possessions.
You can coun on the fingers of
your two hands" Mr.. Hobson de-
clared, the number of months before
the United States would have a war
on it's hands. This nation is not go
ing to prepare, and the day is coming
when it will be struck by a nation
thai is prepared"
