THE OMAHA DAILY BEE : SATURDAY , JANUARY 21 , 1893 , WORE THE MEASURE OUT Enenilcn of the Anti-Option Bill Likely to Triumph. OTHER LEGISLATION GIVEN PREFERENCE fitronc Opposition lo tlin HIM Will Prevent II * Coinldrrutloii In the 1'iitiiro Other I'rentlii ) ; llunlnemi In the 1 lounu. nur.KAU or THE BUB , ) filiJ KOUHTW.XTH Stiinr.T . , > WASIIISOTO.V , U.C. , Jun . BO. I One tliliiR after another lins conspired to Ci'lay llnnl netlon upon the nnti-optlon bill In the aennto till Its best friends now admit that Its chances of bceomiiiR n law are remote , ami that It will likely fail of pnsaago In the house. The semite has amended the bill already In a number of material points , so that when It goes back to the hoiiso there will bu considerable discussion should It again bo taken up. Ex-Speaker Heed , who Is opposed to the bill , stated to a senator thu flrst of this wrck that If the bill was not sent bai-k to the house before the Jlrst of next week It would not bo ilimlly acted upon , as bcKinnliiK with next Monday It Is the In tention nf the committee on rules , of which Mr. Heed Is a conspicuous member , to keen the appropriation bills before the house till they nro all passed and that It would take night and day work to pet them all com pleted by the end of this session. There will , Mr. Heed said , beginning on next Monday , bo given days for the discus sion of only two or three general measures , nnd among them the anti-option bill will not bo. Ho added that even should the anti- option bill got up two or three days at least would bo required for the discussion of the senate amendments , and It was his belief that there could Ira no time given the measure in the first place , nnd secondly n number of members would kill the time allotted for It and then filibuster to defeat a ilnal vote. It looks now as though the bill could not get out of the senate before Into next week , despite the fact that Its author. Mr. Wnsbburn , has threatened to keep the sen- nto In continuous session till a vote Is reached when the bill comes up again. In the senate tomorrow Mr. Gcjrgo of Missis sippi will take the floor ; nfter mm will come Messrs. Cray , Hill , Hlseock and Daniel. All of these gentlemen are given to lengthy speeches Deaths , funerals and all sorts of combinations have arisen to retard the progress of the anti-option hill till It now ap pears that it Is doomed to fall. Itiiynor anil Stump ( ! < > l Together. A compromise has been reached by Mr. Hayiior of Maryland , who Is In charge of the Harris quarantine bill , and Representative Stump of Maryland , chairman of the select committee on immlirratlon. Stump nnd Hay- nor held a conference today at which it was finally arranged that the former will not olTer to substitute the Stump Irrigation bill for the Harris quarantine bill tomorrow when Uaynor calls up Unit measure , but will offer that clause of his bill which provides for a seven days' quarantine at the point of departure as an amendment to the Harris bill , nnd that Haynor will tiecopt the amendment. Husk of Maryland will otrer a further amendment , agreeable to both Stump and Haynor- , providing that the quarantine authorities shall make no dis crimination between Now York and Haiti- more , and that if at any port the national quarantine Is mudo secondary , or Is dis pensed with In favor of the local quarantine as Is now the case in Now York , similar con sideration shall bo paid all other ports. Moro Cabinet Timber. A report was circulated on the democratic side of the senate today that President-elect Cleveland bad tendered Judge Walter Q. Grcsliam a portfolio In the new cabinet , and that ho had concluded to accept. There could bo found little direct Information upon the subject , such senators as Carlisle , Me- Phersou , Palmer nnd Gray , who are sup posed to got their information direct from Air. Cleveland , refusing to talk upon the subject for publication. All of them stated , however , that It was not altogether improbable that Judge Gi'csham would bo a member of the next cabinet Senator Brlco of Ohio , who Is an intimate friend of Senator Carlisle and Is said to have a "pipeline" into Mr. Cleveland's kitchen through Senator Carlisle , said to a senator In reply to the direct question whether ho believed Judge Grcsliam will bo in Mr. Cleveland's cabinet. "I do.not know whether Judge Grcsliam will bo in Mr. Cleveland's cabinet , but 1 do know that I have It from reliable sources closely connected with Mr. Cleveland that ho will bo teudered a place In thu cabinet. " "Is it your Individual opinion that ho will accept { " 'No , " said Senator Brlco. "I do not bollovo bo will accept. I should add , however , that I have no Information upon 'that iwint from > Judge Gresham himself. The Judge may gQ upon the bench of the supreme court of the united States If ho does not go into the cab inet , and yet ho may go Into tno cabinet and nlso upon the supreme bench , " and the ehrowd senator from Ohio and New York ainilcd'a knowing smile. ( Ircslmm to Ho Cared I'or. Ono of the most prominent members of the senate committee on judicliiry really the most active member of it said to TUB BEB corrcsiiondent In the course of a talk on the Bubject of Gresham and the cabinet : "Ills my opinion that Gresham will not accept the place In the cabinetalthough I hope he may. 1 cannot see anything compromising In his nccontlnir. Gresham supportqd Mr , Cleveland - land cordially and openly , and without any understanding with Air. Cleveland. 'Should ho go Into the cabinet It would not neces sarily indicate that there was an under standing between the two men Ixsforo the election. Jii fact wo all Know neither would enter into any such arrangement It would not bo inconsistent for Grcalmm to become a member of President Cleveland's cabinet. Doth men now stand upon the same plat form and Mr. Cleveland Is going to organize Ills cabinet to suit himself. You may bo euro ho will select some of his personal friends. " Turning to another branch of the subject the senator said , and In doing so ho evidenced some inside Information : "it Is juv opinion that if Judge Gresham docs not KO into Mr. Cleveland's cabinet , ho will , bolero - lore many mouths , bo on the tmprcmo bench hero. Mr. Cleveland will have three places on that bench to fill soon. Hlatchfonl and Field will retire soon , on account of ago. AVe will , by special act , doubtless retire Justice Lamar early In the next session of congress. Everybody knows that Justice Lamar Is Incapacitated by 111 health. Ho 1ms reached the ago for retirement , but has not been in the service ten years , as re quired by law. Lamar is old and itoor , and wo are going to pension him by retiring him by special act of congress. If Gresham is not In the cabinet , ho will , I suspect , take Lnuiar's place. " American Corn In Kurope. "Corn Cako" Murphy , the European agent of the Agricultural department , continues to report progress In the Introduction of our corn abroad. Ho has written u letter hereto to Senator Paddock from Berlin , under date of thoihl lust. , In which , after thanking the senator for the Interest ho has taken In the broadening of tjio demand for American corn In Kuropo , ho says : "You will bo In terested to learn that n now corn mill has Just been established at Ham burg , which makes the third opened In the city alone as u result of the propaganda in Germany. I may add , too , that an exhi bition will bo given of corn in its different forms as human food at n permanent exhibition which will shortly bo opened in Berlin and which will occupy ono entire lloor of the finest structure In this city. AH kinds of corn cooked In the presence of the people will bo given away free with explanatory literature nnd recipes so that the practical converting jirocess will go on every day in the year except - cept Sunday. The commercial part of this enterprise will bo conducted by ono of the corn millers that have lately started to grind corn fur human food. I expect great results from thU display. May I modestly say that all this ttecms to mark u considerable aJ- vance from the prc-oediug year , when the good Berllners all thought that corn was fit only for pig food. " I'lltnro licncllt Amurcd. "Tho moro I labor in thU Hold the more I nm convinced that this movement of the Agricultural department holds promise of unbounded bunuilt not only to our farmers nnil the whole country , but to the world at largo , and our corn will surely take Its rightful plnco nn nn article of universal human consumption ns tobacco , potatoes and tomatoes have , which wcro flrst secured from the soil of our fertile American conti nent , thus proving how much humanity Is indebted to America in n material sense ns well as In other ways. The statistical fig- urcs of the Agricultural department show what has been the results thus far In In creased exports of the great staple to Ger many und the few thousands It cost us to bring about such an agreeable consumption. I wrote thus fully and enthusiastically of this movement , for 1 believe In it heart nnd soul , nnd I cannot help observing , I hope modestly , what has been already accom plished as a good nnd pregnant augury for the near future. " 1 beg to send you n candle In the form of an ear of corn which the Germans have this year utilized ns nn Illumination on their Christmas trfos. You will note , senator , that they nru applying their newly acquired knowledge of our corn In various ways. In fact they not only oat It but they make light of It. " The candle has been forwarded to Senator Paddock at Lincoln where It will no doubt bo exhibited. AVnttrrn i'onnloin. The following pensions granted are re ported : Nebraska : Original .Tames K.

Ho was warmly con- gratulatcd by his colleagues , both on his re tention to the senate and on Ills rcporti- en gagement to Mre. Hearst , the widow cl tha millionaire senator from California. Sena tor Faulkner declines to discuss the rsmior publicly. It can bo definitely stated , how ever , that there is no truth In the story. Mr. Faulkner has not seen or heard from Mrs. Hearst since the burial of her husband in California , o She Is now In fiuropo and 13 not expected to return.for some time. A statement has Just been Issued from the Treasury department , from which it appears that the imports received at the port of Omaha last month aggregated $ T l-lGy. Dur ing the calendar year IS'JJ ' the importations received at Omaha aggregated $ : U8,500 , as against t'JT' riS during the year 1891. Mr. Bryan today secured a favorable re- l > ort from the house committee on commerce upon the 1)111 ) giving an extension of llvo years time within which to com plete the new railroad bridge acres < the Missouri river between Omaha and Council Bluffs. He says the bill will pass Ixjth branches of congress before adjourn ment. Mr. Bryan seems to have better luck In securing action upon corporation bills than those affecting the public domain , mili tary reservations and the general interests of the people of Nebraska. Speaker Crisp has promised to recognize Mr. Kern within a short time to call up the Fort Randall military reservation bill. It will likely bo passed before adjournment. Hon. Aimer Stein of Logan , la. , is at the Ebbitt. W. B. Taylor of Omaha is at the Shorcham and W. II. Knonig and wife of Nebraska are at the Bolvidcro. Colonel K. D.

A meeting of the Manufacturers nnd Con sumers association was hold yesterday after noon In their rooms In TIIK Br.a building. The lntcre.it In the homo patronage move ment shows no sign of abatement , nnd the association Is doing moro clTcctlvo work than over before , but the members nro fall ing into the habit of absenting themselves from the meetings. Among the members present from outside of Omaha wcro .1. A. Gamer of the Indlanola Paint nnd Ochre company and W. H. DufTctt of the Beatrice Paving and Building Brick company. After the reading of the minutes of the previous meeting the following wcro elected inemlcrs ) : Boyes , Dean & Co , , Seward ; Grand Island Cigar Manufacturing company , Indlanola Paint and Ochre Manufacturing company ) Oxnnrd Beet Sugar company , Grand Island ; F. S. Johnson & Co. , millers , Milford ; C. C. White , miller , Crete ; William Muchow , brewer , Crete ; ( treat Western Typo foundry , elcctrotyplng , Omaha. President Page stated that It wns time to consider whether there should bo another exposition held In Omaha the coming spring. He had got expressions from quite n number of members and the general opinion seemed to bo that It would be n mlstakc'for ' the as sociation to let the opportunity pass. Tills appeared to bo a subject of general interest to the members nnd they all had nn opinion to express. Some thought that the spring was not ns good n time as the fall for holding an o.\ix > sitlon , but the great majority favored the spring , as the World's fair would bo too great an attraction later In the summer and fall. The members outside of Omaha expressed themselves in favor of an exposition and promised to "bo in it" If ono was held. The greatest diniculty In the way of such an enterprise Is the lack of a suitable building. The old Coliseum build ing has been going to pieces as fast as any building could and is in much worse shape than a year ago. After discussing the mat ter In all Its phases it was decided to call a special meeting , when the subject of hold- Ing nn cx | < osltton will l > o finally dlsjioscd of. An cffovt will bo niKHc on that occasion to get out n full representation of the whole association. .
