WASHIXQTON, Jan. anti-option bill, which has monopolized almost the whole time of the senate (after the morning honr) during the present session, and which is expected to reach its final vote this afternoon, was debated yesterday for nearly three hours, and then went over without action. Sweeping denunciations of the measure were made by Senators Hoar, Republican, of Massachusetts: Vest, Democrat, of Missouri, and Platt, Republican, of Connecticut, as being in utter contravention of the constitution of the United States and in violation of the rights of the states. Mr. Platt yielded to many interrur.

tions, and was therefore unable to his speech. After the passage of several unimportant bills, and after a second installment of Mr. Peffer's argument in favor of a constitutional amendment limiting the presidential office to one term, the McGarrahan bill was taken up and an argument in support, of it was made by Mr. Wilson. Republican, of Iowa, and several others.

Upon a vote being taken the measure received its death blow, the affirmative vote falling eight short of the constitutional majority. Senator Sherman, from the finance committee, reported a bill to suspend silver purchases after Jan. 1, 1894, and allow national banks to issue circulating notes to the full value of bonds deposited. It was placed on the calendar. This, if passed, will repeal the Sherman act, which authorised the purchase by the treasury of 4,500,000 ounces of silver per month.

The free silver men will fight the repeal by every means in their power. The senate, at 5:10 p. went into executive session, and soon afterwards adjourned. The session of the house was an uninteresting one. Work was mapped oat for the remainder of the week and for Tuesday and Wednesday of next week, but beyond this little was done.

A few private measures were passed and a committee on the judiciary having, under a prior order, the right of way, called np some bills of secondary importance. The one of most public interest was that providing for the punishment of offenses by passengers on the high seas, which was passed. A bill providing for a court of appeals in the District of Columbia, went over without action. CoalbeuY UiticoveVed. COLOGNE, Jan.

FREMONT, Jan. Rutherford B. Hayes died at 11 o'clock last night. Early in the evening an inquiry elicited the response that the general had passed a fairly well day and was resting nicely in the evening. The change from better to worse was rapid, and at o'clock the distinguished ex-president passed away.

The first intelligence of this was received when Webb C. Hayes came down town and quietly announced that his father had just died. Ex-President Hayes was brought here last Saturday suffering from an attack of rheumatism of the heart with which he hail been stricken at Cleveland. It was the second attack of the kind he had received within two weeks and, although his condition was regarded as Bomewhat serious and excited alarm of his family, the encouragement given them by Dr. Hilbest, the family physician, led them to believe that the patient would soon recover.

For "this reason all knowledge of the ex-president's illness was kept from the public, and the fact that he was suffering from heart trouble did not become known until Monday afternoon.

In the meantime he had run for congress in 1872 and been defeated by some 1,500 majority, and hail in 1S73 retired from public life and settled at Fremont, O.

Soon after he came into possession of the large estate of his uncle, Silas Birchard, which further confirmed him in his resolution to lead a private life, and he only yielded in to the most earnest solicitation of the Republicans. Of his presidential campaign in 1876 little need be said. His usual "luck of getting there by very narrow margins" followed him. h. financial affairs his administration was an unqualified success.

During the month the ex-president bad complained of one or two slight attacks of neuralgia of the heart, but as it soon passed away, he thought nothing of it.

A Blow at the Garber County Officers' Salary Win a the House Stands on tbe Canal Question. Several Important Measures Introduced in the Senate.

16, 1887. The deceased was a resident of Troy, and went with his company, under orders from the governor, in March and April, 1884, to suppress the Cincinnati riots. He contracted lung disease, and during his three years' illness the father spent all his savings for the benefit of the son. It was finally referred to the committee on military. Mr.

MoGrew introduced four bills. One repeals the Garber law, putting county officers on salaries aud abolishing the fee system. He did so because of a belief that there is no real saving to the taxpayer under the law. The second bill provides for the payment to E. W.

Simpson, of SpringneliL of $500 for lumber and money furnished to and mid by him for tb" tio national guard during the 1886 encampment. The third bill provides that trasi deeds executed by Ohio corporations on chattel property need not be verified, but that the record shall be sufficient. The last bill defines when the tax year in relation to personal tax additions shall end, being at the time of the annual settlement between the treasurer aud auditor. The house passed Mr. Griffin's bill, amending Section 6023 of the revised statutes.

The bill provides that marriage shall not. as under the present laws, terminate the appointment of an administrator or administratrix. Those single maidens now holding such trusts need not postpone their marriage for fear of losing the position, after the senate concurs in the action of the house.
