ANTI-OPTION BILL DEAD. At Least That Is the Opinion of Old Members of Congress. According to a Washington correspondent the anti-option bill is regarded by the oldest members of Oongtess as dead Mr. Hatch doesn’t agree with that opinion. But he wouldn’t believe himself whipped if all the other members In the House told him they would vote against the bill The men with calm judgments, however, say that while Mr. Hatch may, with his magnetism. electrify the corpse into life it will be for a moment only, and that it will then return to the grave in which it was laid by Speaker Crisp last week. It is pretty certain that Mr. Hatch cannot muster a two-thirds vote for suspension, and even if he could Mr. Kilgore has proved that he can prevent legislation on suspension day. “Hatch still has the chance of getting a day set for consideration,” said Amos Cummings, -hut we filibusters have shown what we can do, and there is absolutely no show for him.” Mr. Hatch did not make any attempt Tuesday to get up the bilL Some members think that he will try to tack It on to the pura food bill, but the opponents of the measure are awake, and when he tries they will prevent the passage of the pure food bill.

Have Fears Despite Prosperity. R. G. Dun & Ca's weekly review of trade says: Actual business is surprisingly large for the season, and yet grave fears about the future are entertained. Congressional uncertainties cause the fears, but the prosperity aud needs of the people make business what it is. Never before lias the distribution .of products to consumers been larger than it has been thus far this year. Houce industries are remarkably prosperous. The volume of trade measured by clearings in January was nearly 12 per cent, larger than In any previous year, and the railway movement shows a great increase in the tonnage transported. Yet It is probably safe to say that rarely, if ever, except in a time of panic, has business been more cautiously and conservatively regulated. Monetary uncertainties are excused by the continued outgo of gold, hut the passage of the anti-option bill by the Senate has had no effect upon the market as yet. Dakota Legislature Frozen Out.
