three minute twrtions , thcro was no oppor
tunity to discuss the measure as It deserved
to bo discussed
Mr , Hatch moved to suspend the
rules nnd concur In the senate amendments
to the anti-option bill. The opponents
of the bill then began to filibuster
against the motion , and business
wnsnt a standstill for some time. The mo
tion to suspend the rules was seconded
finally by a vote of 103 to 7. Then , under
suspension , a vote was taken on the bill nnd
It was defeated icas , lJj najs , 124 ; not
the necessary two-thirds in the afllrmative ,
but equivalent to the defeat of the bill , ns It
cannot be reached on the calendar.

motion thu opponents to the mcasuro ns a
rule declined to vote , nnd It was more than

INould give the farmers the mcasuro of re
lief they expected , but It would free them of

Illinois bald the farmer was an intelli
gent man and did not need this
legislation to protect hltn Not 10 per cent
of the farmers were in favor of the bill

yulto a l.nrKO Amount of Mutinous IIls-
posed Of'
WisniSQTOV , D. C. , March 1. The post-
office npproiirlatlon bill cjmo before the senate -
ate toilny and was discussed to some extent
on the question as to the route of the southern
orn fast mall. That question was not dis
posed of when the conference report on the
civil appropriation bill was presented. The
report led to a long financial discussion on
the Sherman bond amendment , the result
being , houo\L'r , that the amendment was re
ceded from by the scnato
Outside of these two appropriation bills
the scnato had before it in the morning the
McGairalian bill , which went over without
notion , nnd the Hudson river bridge bill ' ,
which was taken up by a vote of 20 to iM ,
but dlsapiKjaml Immediately when the con
ference report was taken up n result which
rankled in Jho mind of Mr Hill , nnd led
that senator to upbraid Mr Allison for his
share In the legislative struggle.
After routine business the senate went
Into executive session U he doors were re
opened in about half an hour and legislative
business was proceeded with
The ix > stoftlco appropriation bill was ro-
jwrted and placed on the calendar.
A conference was ordered on the naval ap
propriation bill , nnd Messrs Allison and
Gorman wer ) npj > olnted conferees on the
part of the senate.
Mr Teller asked unanimous consent to
take up for consideration the MeGarrahan
bill , and it was discussed until the expira
tion ot the morning hour , when the bill lost
its right of way.
During the argument Senator Morrlll men-
tlonod Senator Wilson of low a , among others ,
ns having an Interest in the claim.
Mr. Ullson nrom KmphaUc.
Mr Wilson Indignantly denied the sug-
Kcstlun that ho had now , orc\er had , any
interest directly or Indlrectlj in the Me
Garrahan claim. Any one , ho said , who
inserted that he had , uttered a positive ana
uuqualltlea falsehood of the worst char
acter.
The Hudson river bill was then taken up ,
but the ittstoftlco appropriation bill was Im
mediately brought forward ( the bridge bill
being temporarily laid aside without losing
Its right of vrny ) The first amendment
that provoked dlieimlon was the onostrlklnff
out of the bill the item of f 109,000 for special
facilities on trunk lines
Pending the discussion n conference was
ordered on the agricultural bill nml Senators
Allison , Cullom and Call wcro appointed con *
forces on the part of the sonata
The discussion was again Interrupted In
order to hnvo the conference rciwrt on the
sundry civil appropriation hill acted upon.
Mr Allison asked unanimous consent to
present the report , and objection was raised
by Mr Hlscock , his object being to hnvo the
reiwrt taken up "on motion , " which would
have displaced the Hudson river bridge bill ,
The occupant of the chnlr , however , ( Mr.
Harris ) lntcrK | > scd with the remark that n
conference roi > ort was privileged and re
quired no motion. The report was then
read.
The report having been read , Mr. Allison
asked unanimous consent that the scnato
proceed to its consideration. This gave Mr.
Hlscock another opportunity of objecting ,
and ho availed himself of It. This forced
Mr. Allison to move that the report bo now
considered. The motion was agreed to , and
this had the effect of depriving the bridge
bill of its right of way.
HIirnniin'K llunil Anirnilmmt.
Mr. Allison made an explanation of the
report , nnd stated that , In relation to the
Sherman bond amendment ( In order to test
the scnso of the sennto upon it ) , ho would
move to recede from It.
Mr Sncrman explained nnd advocated the
amendment It had been , ho said , sub
mitted to the Incoming secretary of the
treasury , who had gone before the finance
committee and had there stated the reasons
wh.In . his judgment , it might become im-
IKirtant for him to have the power to Issue
bonds cheaper than 4 per cent. Mr Carll slo
had then expressed a hope nnd belief , In
which he , Mr Sherman , was inclined to
concur , that it might not bo necessary to
Issue any bon ds Mr Sherman digressed in
order to paj a compliment to Mr Carlisle ,
sivlng that ho know no man In the
United States better fitted to hold the ofllco
of secretary of the treasury. Ho went on
to say that when ho offered the bond amend
ment ho had no expectation that thcro would
be any opposition to It The pretension that
It repealed any other provision of the re
sumption law was absolutely unfounded. If
congress denied to the secretary the power
to sell bonds , It would cripple the govern
ment , and those wh6jo fault It was would bo
resiKusIolo to the people. There was now
in the vaults of the treasury a great mass of
silver bullion If it wcro coined it would
undoubtedly disturb parity and bring about
n panic Ho had heard a great deal about
bankers nnd plutocrats and , what Is the
word gold bugs but said ho knew no
greater gold bugs in the world than owners
of silver mines. In proof of that he read
from a Nevada paper a notice of nn assess
ment of Z't cents per share , "payable Imme
diately in United States gold coin "
Mr Sherman's speech was replied to by
Messrs Stewart , Wolcott and Teller.
Teller Opposed to n Bond Isitio.
Mr. Teller expressed his belief that no
bondsw hether 4 per cent or it per ccnt.would
be issued by the incoming secretary of the
treasury
Mr Gorman stated tint ho had full author
ity for sa.ving tnat the bond amendment had
been icported after consultation with the
president and with the next sceietarj of the
ticasuri But it was possible that the
sundry civil appropriation bill would bo de
feated if the amendment were insisted upon
Mr Shciman I certainly would not insist
upon any amendment , however strongly I
fa\ored It , which the other house resolutcl >
opposed , or which , if Insisted upon , would
result in defcatine the appropriation bill
The \ote was taken and the senate , with
out di\ision , receded from the Sherman
amendment
1 ho conference report was agreed to and
a further conference was ordered on several
amendments which had not been finally dis
posed of.
Public business was finally suspended nnd ,
after paying tributes to the memory of the
Into Senator Gibson of Louisiana , the scnato
adjourned

staircase and which occupies the center of
the west end of the house. At tholr side
stood Mr. nnd Mrs Stevenson , to w horn the
ptrtlng throng wcro introduced In turn by
I the host.
It was n distinguished nudlcnco that
greeted Mr Stevenson end his wife The in
vitations numbered COO , and but few of the
iccipients failed to resi > end In person , but
there was no crush to interfere with the en
joyment of the evening. There were the
members of the sen no enmasse , with whom
Mr. Stoveiibon w 111 bo a sociatcd so closely
for tlio next four i cars , members of the cabi
net , assistant secietaries of the depart
ments , heads of bureaus , the New York and
Illinois delegations in the house of represent
atives ; the Justices of the supreme court of

and of the court of claims , the members of

a good sprinkling of the subordinate officers

personal friends
During the evening an admirable musical ,
selection was rendered by the famous Ma
rine band under its now leader , Prof ,
