HOW THE MEMBERS CAST THEIR VOTES | order to h oo i fts right of way) The first that provoked discussion was the one striking onut of the bill the item of §198,000 for special facilities on trunk lines. Pending the discussion a conference was ordered on the agricultural bill ana Senators Allison, Cullom and Call were appointed con- | terces on the part of the senate.

C., March 1.—<The time of the housc was consumed principally in considering a motion made by Mr. Hatch to suspend the rules and pass the anti-option bill. The debate w limited to half an hour and as the time was doled out in twoor three minute portions, there was no oppor tunity to discuss the measurc as it deserved to be discussed Mr. Hatch moved to suspend the rules and concur in the senate amendments to the antioption bill. The opponents of the bill then began to filibuster against the motion, ana business was at a standstill for some time. The m: tion to suspend the rules was scconded finally by a vote of 163 to 7. Then, under suspension, o vote was taken on the bill it was defeated—yeas, ays, 124; not the necessary two-thirds in the affirmative, but equivalent to the defeat of the bill, as it cannot be reached on the calendar. On the demand for a second to Mr motion the opponents to the measure as a rule declined to vote, and it was more than halt an hour before Mr. Hatch was able to muster a quorum. Then followed the debate. Mr. Funston of Kansas spoke in favor of the measure, declaring it was in the i st of every business man, whether farmer, merchant or mechanic Mr. Henderson of 1 id the farmers wanted this legi did not claim it would giv rmers the measure of re- lief they expected, but it would free them of some of their trouble. Mr. Taylor Illinois smd the farmer was an intelli- ent man and did not need th egislation to protect him. Not 10 per cent of the farmers were in favor of the bill. Mr. Cummings of New Yorlk declared that the bill would sweep away all state lines and give the United States power to inter- fere "with individual contracts in states Mr. Coombs of New York contended that the bill would cut usoff from all foreign markets.

C,, March 1.—The pos! office appropriation bill came before the sen ate today and was discussed to some extent on the question as to the route of the south ern fast mail. 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 aiscussion on the Sherman vond amendment, the result being, however, that the amendment was re- ceded from by the senate. Outside of these two appropriation bills the senate had before it in the morning the MeGarrahan bill, which went over without action, and the Hudson river bridge bull, which was taken f 26 to 24, but disa) ference report was taken up—a result which rankled in ghe mind of Mr. Hill, and led that senator to upbraid Mr. Allison for his share in the legislative struggle. After routine business the senate into executive session. The d openod in ubout half an hour and le business was proceeded with The postoftice appropriation bill was vorted and placed on the calendar. A conference was ordered ou the naval ap ropriation bill, and Messrs. Allison and Jorman we appointed conferees on the Ppart of the senate. Mr. Teller asked re. unanimous consent to take up for consideration the MeGarrahan blil, and it was discussed until the expira- tion “S“m morning hour, when the bill lost its right of way.

Mr. Carlisle had then expressed & hope and belief, in which he, Mr. Sherman, was inclined to concur, that it might not be necessary issue any bon ds. Mr. Sherman digressed in order to pay a compliment to Mr. Carlisle, saying that he knew no man in the fitted to hold the office of the treasury. He wenton 4 the bond amend- ment he had no expectation that there would any opposition to it. Tk ension that it repealed any other provision of the re. sumption law was absolutely unfounded.

C., March 1.—The recep- tion tendered tonight by Vice President and Mrs. Morton to Vice President-elect and Mrs. Stevenson, at their residence on Scott street, marked another deviation by Mr, Morton from the traditions surrounding his position. It was an unprecedented thing for the outgoing vice president to bestow any recognition, official or social, upon his suc- when the cards were issued giving notification of the vice president’s in- tention to honor his successor, it was felt to be a gracious and proper courtesy. But the inspiration of the aff: was more than purely ofticial. Mr. Morton had served in the house of representatives of the Forty- sixth congress with Mr, Stevenson and ever since there has existed between them a sin- cere mutual esteem and regard. In anticipation of the elegant mansion had been decorated with palms, ferns, foliage, plants and cut flowers Mr. and Mrs. Morton received their guests in the doorway separating the parlor from the corridor, out of which rises the grand staircase and which occupies the center of the west end of the house. At their side stood Mr. and Mrs. Stevenson, to whom the parting throng were introduced in turn by the host. It was a distinguished audience groeted Mr. Stevenson ond his wife. vitations numbered 600, and but few of the recipients failed to respond in person, but there was no crush to _interfere with the en- Joyment of the evening. There were the members of the senate enmasse, with whom Mr. Stevenson will be associated so closely for the next four years, members of the cabi- net, assistant sécretaries of the depart- ments, heads of bureaus, the New York and Illinois delegations in the house of represent- at _the justices of the supreme court of the United States, of the District of Columbia and of th ims: the members of the diplomatic corps in all the brilliancy of the insignia of their seve s and honors; the heads of the army and navy and a good sprinkling of the subordinate officers. In addition to these official guests, the vice president and Mr orton presented to Mr. and Mrs. Stevenson a large number of their personal friends. During the evening an admirable musical selection was rendered by the famous Ma- rine band under its new leader, Prof. Fanciulli, and an elegant collation was served in the dining room.
