Washington, Jan. ."1.—[Special.1 -The pus-
torn* bill was nm-nded to-day by attach-
ing to it tht» revenue bill, which, of courpc,
contained the -Income tax provision. A lit-
tle over a week afro the republican.-? had
mapped out a course which they would
pursue in dealing with the customs 4)111.
Thf-y believed thrre were enough dissent-
ers on the democratic side to send t.he
customs bill back to the ways and means
committee for a reconsideration If the bill
could be loaded down with objectionable
provisions lo an extent that could solidify
the dissenters against it. They believed
these dissenters cons'.-s-ted of the demo-
cratic elements which wanted a tariff on
coal, on iron ore, on sugar, on collars and
cuffs, and the New Yorkers who were op-
posed to an income tax. So they bfgan
voting in line with their programme. One
t<hlng particularly t'hey had determined to
do, and that was to vote to attach reve-
nue bills to t'he customs bill in order to
disaffect the New Yorkers who were op-
posed to the Income tax provision.
Put they began to get scared. They sjw
that Hie dissenters were weak in their
dissent. They saw that the customs bill
was growing in popularity every day.
They finally saw that whatever the bill
migivt contain it was dead sure to pass
the house. Then they concluded to forego
their original intentions because they did
no-t want to make a record of loading up
the bill with provisions objectionable to
the republican masses when it would
amount to not'hing, so they gave out the
word that the republican vote must be cast
against attaching tihe internal revenue bill
on the customs bill. Therefore it was sup-
posed that when the vote to combine the
bills came up it might be pretty close, and
it is not going -too far to say -that the re-
sult astonished every man in the house.
The vote stood 175 for putting the revenue
bill with the income tax provision on dt in
the customs bill, and the opposition could
only muster fifty-six votes, and, more
ti'aan this, when tellers were asked that
the vote might be more definitely ascer-
tained, there were no-t enough members
voting for the request to permit the chair-
man, under the rules, to grant it. The
managers on the republican side were not
aible to control their men, and some of
the republican members voted for the
amendment, or, more properly speakin
the combination, because they favor the
income tax. These members haiil from uhe
west, and ohey do not hesitate to say that
their constituency demanded from them
the vote they east. They will vote against
the bill when it comes to a final bout, but
they will do this, not because of the in-
come tax, but because it is an anti-pro-
tective bill.
It is hardly possible to convey to the pub-
lic a true Idea of the rapid changes in sen-
timent that have occurred in the house in
regard to the tariff bill as a whole and the
income tax part of the revenue biil in par-
ticular. Before the democratic caucus
which resolved that these two bills should
be combined Congressman Hall of Missouri,
who has devoted himself to the income tax
idea, told the News correspondent that he
had but little hopes of getting this tax in
the customs bill. Other congressmen who
were the most rabid income tax advocates
told the correspondent that all hopes of
such a tax being agreed to by the house
were gone, and in the ways and means
committee itself the income tax proposition
was carried by only one vote. The men who
wanted to raise a revenue by taxing coal,
iron ore, sugar and dozens of other thing*
in the line of protection of course, declared
themselves against such income tax. For
if it were adopted it made unnecessary the
tariff on the articles that they desired pro-
tected. and yet wnen the moment came to
strengthen and in fact make the adoption
of the income tax almost a certainty by
inserting it in the custom bill only fifty-six
votes could be mustered against it. From
this the income tax people say that it will
no longer receive any opposition in the
house that would warrant a notice, and
some of them go so far as to offer a bet
that when the bill made by the amendment
or combination to-day with the income tax
in it comes to a final vote there will not be
twenty democratic votes against it.
Senators are now declaring that an in-
come tax proposition unconnected with any
other measure would have more strength in
the senate than the customs Mil as it stands
now in the house. Senators Teller and
Stewart openly declare that if an income
tax bill unconnected with any other tax
bill were put before the senate they would
vote for it. It is generally thought to-night
that the senate is much affected by the
strength shown in the house on the whole
bill as it stands and the number of demo-
cratic kickers on the senate side is getting
much smaller.
About the only amendment to the customs
bill of importance outside of attaching the
income tax bill to it which was adopted to-
day was in shortening the bonded period
for whisky. The committee reported eight
years, but the house shortened it up to
three years.
THE STATEHOOD QUESTION.
Washington, Jan. 31.—[Special.]—The sub-
committee of the committee on territories
which is hearing arguments for and against
the admission of the country of the five
civilized tribes with Oklahoma as a state,
•held another meeting this morning. The
representatives of the Indians were pres-
ent and the debate was carried on in
rather a co'lloquial way. The embarrass-
ment which the committee seems to labor
under is the fact that while one side says
the Indian wants to come into the union
as a state with Oklahoma, the other side
denies it. Therefore, the issue is reduced
to facts, and 'the only facts given so far
are the assertions of the gentlemen repre-
senting the contending elements of the In-
dians.
General Colby, representing the opposi-
tion to statehood with Oklahoma, addressed
■Uhe committee. He described the prosper-
ous and happy condition of the live trloes,
entered into most pleasing descriptions of
the people, called the attention of the com-
mittees to the past of the tribes and re-
minded it of the treaties from 182f> to the
present time. He said he had never met
any Indian citizens in the Creek or Chero-
kee nation who favored -tatehood for the
five tribes with Oklahoma. He said there
was no desire among the tribes for state-
hood outside of the desire of the non-citi-
zens who were in the territory by mar-
riage or courtesy. He was rather severe
on the desire of this class of peoplo for
the lands, etc. He made quite an impres-
sive speech.
Mr. Hornbeck in answer submitted the
name-? of several persons, two of whom he
knew and knew to be Indian citizens, who
hsigned a request to him to represent
them here and urge statehood. The other
persona signing the request he did not
know.
Mr. McAdam resented the declarations of
Mr. Colby us to th* interlopers. He said

DIP noon WORK
Washington, Jan. 31.—The internal reve-
nue bill Kan placed as a rider upon the
tariff bill this aftornoon by a vote of 175
to o\. The entire day was spent in the con-
sideration of amendments which were of-
fered to the various internal revenue fea-
tures.
The principal fight came upon the propo-
sition to Increase the tax on whisky from
90 cents to $1 and extend the bonded period
from three to eight years. These provis-
ions, especially the one looking to an In-
crease of the bond period, were bitterly op-
posed by the prominent members on both
sides of the home, and despite the opposi-
tion, th" latter proposition, that is, tin
one to increase the period to eight years,
was stricken out. while the increase of the
tax from 90 cents to $1 wa^s allowed to
stand. The Kentucky members say this
will bring ruin and disaster t » the whisky
Interests of their s'ate. Kentucky alone
over M.OOii.'W gall »ns of whisky now
in bond, upon which the tax will be in-
creased without giving the benefit of an
extension of the bonded period.
Only one other {intendment of importance
to the internal rer -nue leatures of the bill
was carried. Jt Was a t.revision to extend
the operation of the income tax to all
moneys and person:*! property given or
bequeathed by Inheritance This, it is es-
timate.1, will Increase the revenue from
■income tax a bout 000.000 per annum.
After the disposal of the Internal revenue
amendments a row occurred over the four
amendments to the barley schedule which
were pending last Saturday, and by dint
of maneuvering Mr. Lock wood, who is op-
posing them, managed to prevent a Vote
until the hour of recess arrived.
To-morrow between 11 o'clock and noon
these amendments will again come up for
settlement. At li o'clock, according to the
special order, the tariff bill will 1m» reported
to the house. Three hours will then be al-
lowed for closing the debate, one and a
half hours on each side.
Mr. Reed will make the closing speech for
his party and Speaker Crisp and Chairman
Wilson will close the democratic side.
At '■> o'clock i vote wi'il be taken upon
the bill and pending amendment. Several
separate votes will probably be demanded
upon amendments, among them the amend-
ment abolishing the sugar bounty. I'nder
the rule the only motion which can in-
tervene before the final vote is taken upon
tlie pas^ag" of the bill, after the amend-
ments are disposed of, is a motion to re-
commit. with or without instructions. A*
the republicans have decided to refuse to
join in this effort to recommit the bill,
it is a foregone conclusion that it will
be defeated if male.
A semi-official estimate ma le bv Chairman
Wiifl.ai and some of his friends upon the
committee who have scanned the situa-
tion gives the bill thirty-four majority, di-
vided as fallows: democrats 182, populists
ft, total 1915, against 12f» republicans, 32
domocrats and one populist—Newlands of
Nevada—total 159.
ALIEN CONTRACT LABOR.
Washington, Jan. 31.—Superintendent
Stump of the immigration bureau, with the
approval of Secretary Carlisle, has issued
a circular concerning the arrest and de-
portation of alien contract laborers. It
iireets that immigrant inspectors shall
carefully Inspect all cases of violation of
the alien contract labor laws which shall
come to their knowledge by observation or
complaint and report the same with ail the
tacts and circumstances connected there-
with to the superintendent of immigration.
If in the latter s judgment the case \y suffi-
ciently established the secretary of the
treasury will be asked within one year
after the landing or entry of tire immi-
grant to order that such alien contract la-
borers be returned to the country whence
they came at the expense of the owners
of vesse'.ij bringing them into the United
States, but if from an adjoining country
at the expense of the persons previously
contracting for their services. The circu-
lar is, of course, intended for general ap-
plication, but its provisions are expected
to apply at this time particularly to the
case of the Spanish alien contract cigar-
makers who recently came from Havana
to work in the Key West cigar factories.
Superintendent Stump has been waiting
foir the names of these men before prepar-
ing formal warrants for their deportation
One list which came to hand to-dav
brought the names of about 120 men and
another list is expected in a day or two.
It is expected that the larger proportion
of the men will be deported to Havana,
although final action in the case has not
yet been taken.

THE) FINAL KATIMATK.
Washington, Jan. The friends of th*
Wilson bill hav< made their final estimates
on the vol* to be taken to-morrow on the
passage of the iiieamjro.
The estlni lie is as follows?
For the bill: Democrats 18;', populists 11,
totu 108* •
Against, the bill; Democrats Z'2, republl-
CaIIS llM, populists I, total 15!».
This shows a majority for the bill of
thirty-four, but there are strong prospects
entertained that it will reach fifty.
MOIUO NOMINATIONS.
Washington, Jan. 31.—'The president to-
day sent the following nominations to the
senate: Thomas H. l-'urguson of Maryland
to be envoy extraordinary and minister
Plenipotentiary
Sweden and "
NOMINATIONS ON THE HOOK.
Washington, Jan. 31.—That the senate
committees are now examining with more
deliberation than usual the nominations
sent to the -senate by the president Is
evidenced by the fact that there are about
forty nominations which were sent to the
senate before the Christmas holidays which
will remain unacted upon for some time.
These include the nominations which were
made during the extra session and were
again made at the beginning of the present
session. Of the forty appointments upon
which the senate has not acted, fifteen are
nominations to offices from New York* two
from Missouri, two from Tennessee, two
from Pennsylvania, two from Maine and
one each from various other states. The
New York appointments which have been
held up are the most important There are
known to be protests against the confirma-
tions growing out of local causes in some
of these cases but the impression is gain-
ing ground that senatorial opposition is
responsible for the delay in many cases.
Reports on some of the older New York
nominations are unquestionably delayed in
committee at the request of the New York
senators, and t'he case is the same in re-
gard to some of the other appointments.
~ Senators say that the delay is to be at-
tributed to a desire to exercise a due pre-
caution in making renorts.
(MR. 'EARNEST'S CASE.
Washington, Jan. 31.—[Special.]—Congress-
man Crain has filed with the secretary of
•the treasury an answer of Mr. Earnest, the
collector at Corpus Christi, to the charges
against him that he has appointed negroes,
boys and republicans to office in the La-
redo branch of his district. He takes up
each appointment made by him, showing
the character of each appointee and telling
why he made the appointment. At the
treasury department to-day the inquiry,
"What is the condition of the Earnest case?"
is answered by the simple reply, "It stands
just like it did yesterday." It has been
understood in some way that if Earnest is
deprived of his office that Congressman
Crain's first choice for his successor is
George French of Corpus Christi. Mr.
Crain desires it known that his choice for
t'he appointment should Earnest be deprived
of the place is McCampbell of Corpus
Christi. Mr. Crain uiged the appointment
of McCampbell before Earnest was appoint-
ed. Uut from what the News correspond-
ent can gather at the treasury department,
if Earnest has'to go French will take his
place. This would certainly be the case if
Earnest was removed at once.
POSTMASTERS APPOINTED.
Washington, Jan. 31.—[Special.]—Post-
masters appointed for Texas: Floresville,
Wilson county, C. McK. Lawhon, vice
Mary C. Wall, removed; Leakey, Edwards

Turner of Fort Worth, who is a candidate
for postmistress of that city, Is still here,
hut as yet she has not called on the post-

AFTER A BITTER FIGHT.
Washington, Jan. 31.—|Special.]—Congress-
man Pendleton has received the promise
that Robert A. Gordon will be appointed
postmaster at Lorena. There has been a
very heavy fight over this office, a fight
which for Intensity looked as if It were
waged for a ten thousand-dollar place.
PASSED ALL RIGHT.

CONFIRMED.
Washington, Jan. 31.—The senate In execu-
tive session to-day made public the follow-
ing confirmation: Commodore John G.
Walker, to be rear admiral in the navy.
ARMY ORDER.
Washington, Jan. 31.—[Special.]—Private
Eugene W. Smith of Company H, Eigh-
teenth infantry, Fort Bliss, is discharged.
SENATE.
Washington, Jan. 31.—The entire time of
thp senate to-day was consumed in discus-
sion of the resolution of Senator Stewart,
declaring that the secretary of the treas-
ury has no power to Issue the bonds for
which bids have been invited.
Senator Allen opened the discussion In
support of the resolution.
Senator Hoar surprised his colleagues by
sustaining the position taken by Senators
Allen and Stewart and Senator Gorman
made a speech directed principally to re-
plying to the political strictures of Senator
Sherman but giving no expression of his
opinion as to the authority of the secretary
to apply the proceeds of the bonds to meet-
ing current expenses.
A great discussion followed, participated
in by Senators Aldrlch, Sherman, Voorhees
and others.
The bond resolution went over to to-mor-
row without action.
The religious societies appear to be mak-
ing a systematic fight on whisky and beer
and desire to tax these articles to such a
degree as to make them prohibitory fix-
tures.
Petitions were presented by Senator Cul-
lom of Illinois praying that the internal
revenue tax on these articles may be tre-
bled in the new tariff law.
The resolutions denying the authority of
the secretary of the treasury to issue the
proposed bonds came up and Senator Allen
[pop.| of Nebraska took the floor to reply
to the argument of Senator Sherman of
yesterday. "The senator from unio," said
Senator Allen. "In discussing this question
yesterday said that this power of the sec-
retary to issue bonds was a continuing
power and that it continued until water
ceased to run and time ends unless con-
gress shall change or modify it by law."
The law does not permit this conviction. It
provides for a single act of redemption. It
provides that he may sell bonds for the
purpose of making the redemption men-
tioned. All through the act where the sub-
ject is referred to is conveyed the idea in
plain language that it is a single redemp-
tion that is to be made in this act.
"When that redemption was made the
power to issue bonds ceased with it. When-
ever this government called in the excess
of $300,000,000 outstanding treasury notes and
redeemed or destroyed them the power to
issue bonds ceased."
"Does not the duty of retiring the $300,-
000,000 continue to remain as before?" quer-
ied Senator Piatt of Connecticut. "Is not
the secretary of the treasury just as much
bound to redeem the treasury notes pre-
sented now as before the limitation of the
redemption of those notes?"
"No, sir," replied Senator Allen. "Does
the senator hold that if a treasury note is
now presented the treasurer is not bound
to redeem it?"
"I do," replied Senator Allen.
"He is not under any act of congress now
in existence." Senator Stewart of Nevada
interrupted and confirmed the views and the
statement of Senator Allen.
"Do I understand the senators from Ne-
braska and Nevada to maintain," inquired
Senator Allison of Iowa, "that under the
resumption act of 1875 it was only intended
to redeem or provide for the redemption of
$75.000,OjO of the greenbacks and that when
these ijiTo.UQO.OOO of greenbacks were re-
deemed at the treasury it was the end of
the redemption?"
"That is the extent of the power given by
the law." insisted Senator Stewart.
"I desire to know," continued Senator Al-
lison, "from the senator from Nebraska,
who has the floor, If that is his construc-
tion of the law under the original act?"
"Before answering that question," said
Senator Allen, "I desire to ask the senator
from Iowa a question. Is It not true that
the power possessed by the secretary of the
treasury must be such power as is con-
ferred upon him by statute?"
"No doubt about that," asserted Senator
Allison.
"Now I am prepared to answer the gen-
tleman from Iowa. My construction of the
redemption is this: The only power con-
ferred by that act upon the secretary of
the treasury was to redeem the volume of
outstanding legal tender treasury notes on
.January 1, 187'.), down to $300,000,000, and that
this power stopped to redeem them when
he reached that point."
"I assert," maintained Senator Allen,
"that under all these acts, construing them
together, the secretary of the treasury nev-
er had the power to redeem beyond $300,000,-
000, and he does not possess that power to-
day. Any other conclusion transfers the
entire power over the fiscal affairs of this
nation from congress, where the constitu-
tion vests it, to the unlimited and un-
checked discretion of the secretary of the
treasury."
"Then your contention is," said Senator
Allison, "that the $95,000,000 of bonds which
were sold by the secretary of the treasury
for the purpose of preparing for resump-
tion is illegal at least over the excess of
175,000,000?"
'Not at all," said Senator Allen, "I have
made no contention of that kind. I may
after a while."
"The plain meaning of the act of 1878, as
I conceive it," said Mr. Harris of Tennes-
see, "is that every note when presented
shall be redeemed, but not that they must
be redeemed; they may continue in circula-
tion."
"The law of 1878," said Senator Allison,
'affected only $48,000,000 of greenbacks. The
law of 1875 is interpreted and was under-
stood at the time by those who framed it,
that the $300,000,000 under the original act
would be reissued from time to time when
redeemed. The only effect of the act of 1878
was to make the act of 187G clear and to
establish the limit."
"The understanding of senators of this
law does not give it any force among the
people or with the co-ordinate departments
of the government," retorted Senator Al-
len.
"The reserve of $100,000,000 is lying there
now," said Senator Allison, "for the pur-
pose of redeeming these greenbacks, and
for no other purpose."
"The reserve fund," said Senator Allen,
"was a mere caprice of the secretary of
the treasury. It was created long before
this act, to which its creation has been
accredited, was passed. It rested upon no
authority derived from congress, upon no
power given by the legislative branch of
the government. The secretary of the
treasury has ample power to destroy this
reserve and use it for the ordinary pur-
poses of this government."
At the conclusion of Senator Allen's re-
marks Senator Hoar of Massachusetts took
the floor.
•tf feel bound by a mom of duty," said
the senator, "to declare that In my opinion
I the bonds Issued and sold by the treasury
! department under existing circumstances
will be Illegal and will carry no constltu
tional or lawful Obligations on the govern
m-»nt for their payment."
Senator Gorman then proceeded to argue
at considerable length to show 'hat the
republicans were responsible for the exist-
ing condition of the treasury. He, how-
ever, toak occasion, in reference to the
claim of Senator Teller that the repeal of
the Sherman law was responsible, to Hay:
"I -believe with the nenat >r from Colorado,
•that there Is much in the statement that
the legislation upon silver Is In part in
sponsible for the situation."
Senator Aldrlch arose to say that this
threatened deficit to which Secretary Fos-
ter hid referred was caused by the fact
that the democratic party was again to
come in control, but Senator Voorhees re-
torted that the treasury was empty before
the election.
Senator Shrrmnn said that the senator
from Maryland ha/1 complained that he
was wanting in patriotism because he had
ascribed the present condition of the treas-
ury to the democratic party.
"I do bolleve," said Senator Sherman,
"that the principal cause, not the only
cause, but the principal cause of our pres-
ent financial conditions is because the dem-
ocratic party carne into power. It is a
great party; its history I can be proud of
as well as anyone on the other side, but
It came into powe-r with the declaration
that the whole policy of the government
for more than thirty years should be aban-
dons I. ami a policy 'toward free trade fol-
lowed."
Continuing, Senator Sherman maintained
that the revenues under the McKlnley law
had been more than sufficient to maintain
the government, for during the Harrison
administration the public debt had been re-
duced to the extent of $259,000,000, but since
the democratic party came Into power un-
der the distrust which Its success had en-
gendered, th^ loss of revenue In the cur-
rent fiscal year, from July 1 to January 1,
1ml been between $40,owoo and $50,000,000.
Senator Sherman. In the main, reiterated
the position maintained by h-:m on yester-
day, and was followed by Senator Voor-
h»" s. who caused to be read the statement
of Secretary Carlisle as to his Interpretation
of the law on the bond question. He said
there wa-» no question of the secretary's
power to l.-sue bonds, and any question as
to the expenditure of the money was a
subject for later consideration.
"N t'here any proposition now to issue
bonds for redeeming Kreenbadks?" inquired
Senator Daniel of Virginia.
"The proposition to issue bonds," replied
Senator Voorhees, " contains nothing but
the authority Jn the law, neither affirming
or denying what use is to be made of the
mcney, and I thlrk that we can not inquire
into that until after the money has been
secured by the Is«ue of the bonds."
"Whenever," said Senator Voorhees, "the
secretary of the treasury is going to use
this money after he gets it, contrary to
the view of the senator from Virginia, It
will be time for him to go into court an l
restrain him. In the first place, 1 hold,
with the secretary of the treasury, and
contrary to the senator from Ohio [Sher-
man! that the secretary cun use this money
in any way that seems to him properly
conducive to the general purpose contem-
plated by the act of 1875 to redeem the
greenbacks and carry on the government."
Continuing, Senator Voorhees said: "I be-
lieve that John G. CarMsle 1s right in be-
lieving that he can take care of this gov-
ernment by these funds or any other that
come into his hands. J. G. Carlisle Is fit
to sit where John Marshall sat. He is a
lawyer among lawyers, at whose feet sen-
ators here who are criticising can sit and
take instruction and learning and wis-
dom by the day and by the hour. At the
proper time end in the proper way we will
take care of the credit of the govern-
ment."
Referring to the tariff question, Senator
Voorhees said: "1 will say now that 1 am
for a tariff bill to give revenue and be-
lieve that when a proclamation is made
that we are for a "tariff for revenue only it
means only the revenue to carry on the
business."
Mr. Hawley then proceeded to main-
tain that the success of the democratic
party was responsible for the falling off of
revenues and the depletion of the treas-
ury.
At the conclusion of Senator Hawley's
speech the bond resolution went over and
at 5.10 the senate, on motion of Senator
Gorman, went into executive session and
at 5.25 adjourned.
HOUSE.
Washing-ton, \Jan. 31.—The chaplain in
his prayer at the opening of the session of
t'he house this if.v>rnlng Invoked divine
guidance to t1" closing of the tariff de-
bate.-ii <4 *T .
Before tihe consideration of the internal
revenue and tariff bill was resumed. Mr.
Biack of Georgia secured unanimous con-
sent and had passed a bill increasing the
pension of Jane Thompson of Jefferson
county, Ga.
The report of the committee on elections
in the Settle-Williams, South Carolina,
contested election case, was presented.
The house then went into committee of
the whole.
To-day, according to the special order,
was devoted to debate under the five min-
ute rule, the whole Internal revenue bill
being open -to amendment.
Mr. McMlllln attempted to reach an
agreement to vote upon such amendments
as might be pending at 4 o'clock this after-
noon, but Air. Bur row wS objected tempora-
rily until he.cpuld confer with his col-
leagues.
The first amendment offered was one by
Mr. Tate [dem.] of Georgia to strike out
sections 29, 30 and 31, relating to the tax
on whisky, the increase of the bonded
period and manner of collecting the tax.
Mr. Tate explained that if the amendment
■was adopted the law remains as it is. He
was opposed to the increase of the tax on
whisky.
Mr. Payne [rep.] of New York, who se-
cured the floor ostensibly to oppose the
amendment, took th? chance to have read
some resolutions passed by the New York
legislature, instructing the New York con-
gressional delegation to vote against the
Wilson bill.
Mr. Outhwaite offered an amendment to
the amendment to increase the tax on
whisky from GO cents to $1 when in bond
one year; $1 10 for two years, and $1 30 for
three years, the bonded period to cease at
the end of that time. He had no intention,
he said, of pressing the amendment. The
provisions of the bill were wrong. In the
interest of reform a few days ago the
bounty on sugar had been abolished; now it
was proposed to give a bounty to the
whisky industry of this country.
It was proposed to increase the bonded
period from three to eight years at a cost
of 10 cents a gallon.
"Do I understand this bill increases the
bonded period to eight years?" asked Mr.
Dockery.
"It does."
"Then it should be voted down."
Mr. Outhwaite went on to hotly inveigh
against the proposition.
Mr. Montgomery of Kentucky, a member
of the ways and means committee, strongly
defended the whisky provisions of the bill.
Mr. Bowers of North Carolina, Mr. By-
num of Indiana and Mr. llolman of Ind
num and Mr. Holman of Indiana sup-
ported the amendment in brief speeches.
Mr. Ellis of Kentucky and Mr. McCreary
of Kentucky defended the committee propo-
sition.
Mr. Outhwaite of Ohio declared that he
wanted the whole subject sent back to the
committee for more careful consideration.
Without desiring to reflect upon the gen-
tleman from Kentucky he believed the ex-
tension was urged in the interest of the
distillers, who wanted the United States
to pay the cost of gauging their whisky.
The increase of 10 cents per gallon was
simply a bait.
Mr. Caruth of Kentucky made an elo-
quent plea for the extension of the bonded
period in behalf of the blue grass dis-
tillers.
Mr. Dingley offered an amendment to
strike out all words providing for an ex-
tension of t'he bonded period. The utmost
confusion followed when the voting be-
gan. Mr. Outhwaite's amendment and one
by Mr. Bland providling for an extension
of the bonded period beyond three years
upon the payment of the owner to the
secretary of the treasury of the estimated
cost of exportation and reimportation were
successively lost.
After a great deal of cross-firing the
committee finally voted upon the Dingley
amendment to the Tate amendment to
strike out the extension of the bonded
period and it carried, 104 to 79.
Mr. Montgomery came fro ward with a
substitute, which was practically a restora-
tion of the provisions of the bill, wvt'h
some slight verbal changes.
The chailr sustained a point against the
substitute to the effect that it was not a
substitute, but an amendment.
Mr. McCreary followed Mr. Montgomery
with another .substitute, which restored the
provisions of the bill, except that the bond-
ed period was extended only to five in-
stead of eight years.
Mr. Outhwaite made the point of order
that the committee has just adopted an
amendment limiting the bonded period to
three years.
After a heated parliamentary discussion,
participated la by Messrs. McCreary, Outh-
waite, Fnloe, RppJ, Bynum and Dingley,
the cngir jWHfnlned the point of order.
Mr. Montgomery then offered the new
provisions of his proposed substitute as an
amendment, and the chair said this was
not In order. The amendment struck out
the provision to have the extensions of the
bonded period go Into effect a month after
the puK^age of the bill and made it into
effect Immediately. It provided that If In
bond more than three years the ownerM of
the whisky should pay Into the treasury
tho estimated cost of exportation and re-
importation. "This amendment," said Mr.
Montgomery, "meets all the honest objec-
tions to tho extension of the bonded pe-
riod, unless the hou:'C be actuated by a
spirit and a desire to punish the people
who pay a tax of o0 per cent on their pro-
duction."
In reply, Mr. Outhwaite declared that
there was no disposition to punish any In-
dustry; neither ought there to be any at-
tempt to favor any. This was a proposi-
tion to give the whisky men a special
privilege, for which the government got no
equivalent. A better amendment than that
of the gentleman from Kentucky would be
to prevent the exportation of whisky en-
tirely.
"And cut our throats immediately," In-
terjected Mr. Montgomery.
"Oh, you are mistaken," replied Mr. Outh-
waite. 'The people are not Interested In
the overproduction of whisky so that it
can be speculated in. There is enough whis-
ky now made to last three years."
Mr. Caruth challenged this statement,
and the dialogue between the Kentuckian
and Mr. Outhwaite grew so exciting that
Chairman Richardson, in attempting to
quiet them, broke his gavel.
An amendment was then agreed to, with-
out objection, perfecting the text of the
phi so as to leave no doubt as to the fact
that all whisky in bond was to be sub-
jected to the Increased tax.
Mr. Walker Irep.J of Massachusetts then
onered an amendment to Increase the tax
on distilled spirits to S1.50 per gallon and
Cjl.ect It Wherever found, which was lost
'"Ithout a division.
dr. Gear I rep.] of Iowa offered an
lendment to raLs- the tax on retail
uor dealers from $J5 to SCO and on whisikv
W lolesale dealers from $100 to $200, which
M lost-01 to 88.
«v»uhf> Aale aTn**ndment was then lost—
r?° 4"—the republicans refusing to vote,
yie only amendment which carried was
that of Mr. Dingley.
'I he text of the bill as amen'led increases
the\ taxes on distilled spirits to $1, and
lea*-* the bonded period at three years.
Ai amendment offered by Mr. Tucker
tderyj of Virginia to exempt the incomes
of dflucatlonal and charitable institutions
froniulie operations of the income tax was
agreti to without a division.
Mr. Whiting of Michigan, one of the
democratic members of the ways and
committee, offered an amendment
nl to give the wine producers of the
n opportunity to fortify themselves
rape spirits of the California coast,
t of 1890 limited the amount of cane
r*et sugar that could be added to
) i per cent. His atnendmeut was to
»e this to 10 per cent.
'.reck in ridge of Kentucky offered an
ment providing that all alcoQiol or
distilled spirits manufactured at any place
or for any rf-irpose be required lo pay
taxes as lixed in section 29.
The amendment was withdrawn after
♦or.ie discussion and the Whiting amend-
ment was agreed to.
Mr. Pence of Colorado offeivd an amend-
n- nt to the Income tax, sections providing
fir a graduated tax. It proposed 1 per cent
tax on incomes over $2300 and up to $10,000;
2 per cent on sums over $10,000 and under
$3urt)0; 3 per cent on sums over $30,000 and
ui ler $60,000; 4 per cent on sums oveir $60,000
at 1 under $100,000, and 5 per cent on sums
over $io:),ooo.
Hi1. Sibley [dem.] of Pennsylvania offered
a substitute making the Income tax rates
2 ier cent on Incomes from $10,000 to $50,000;
3 fler cent from $50,000 to $100,003; 5 per cent
between $100,000 and 3200,000, and 10 per
ceiit on sums over $200,000.
^!r. Sibley, in a brief speech* supported
his] amendment for a graduated Income
taxi He urged that it would act as a
cheik upon accumulations of vast fortunes.
Alter some further debate between Mr.
GroWenor and Mr. Money Mr. Reed got
the floor and read a petition adopted by a
convention of wool manufacturers in New
York cdty January 10, protesting against
the passage of the Wilson bill. That meet-
ing, ^ir. Reed said, was attended by men
who represented $500,000,000, but they were
men vho, by the operations of a portion of
the Wilson bill, would be exempt from the
operation of the portion under considera-
tion (the income tax).
Mr. Enloe [dem.] of Tennessee followed
with some very sarcastic comments upon
Mr. Cockran's speech yesterday and upon
the New York democracy generally.
"We had better leave the democratic
party," interposed Mr. Campbell Idem.] of
New JTork.
"Oh, no," retorted Mr. Enloe, "you will
not leave the democratic party; you would
have no place to go." [Laughter.]
Mr. Sibley's amendment was lost without
a division.
The vote recurring upon Mr. Pence's
graduated income tax amendment, a great
many republicans, including Messrs. Can-
non of Illinois, Doolittle of Washington,
White of Ohio and Tawney of Minne-
sota, voted dn favor, but it was lost—66 to
21.
Mr. Kilgore [dem.] of Texas then offered
an amendment to strike out the provision
of the income tax exempting incomes de-
rived from United States bonds.
Mr. Culberson said the proposition of Mr.
Kilgore would be unconstitutional.
Mr. McMlllln of Tennessee also opposed
the amendment.
Mr. Kilgore's amendment was defeated.
Mr. Springer proposed an amendment to
include within the operation of the income
tax the amount of money and the value of
any and all property, real and personal, re-
ceived by gift, device or inheritance.
The Bynum substitute was agreed to with-
out 'division.
It,is estimated that this provision wiil
add i$3,000,000 per annum to the revenue.
Mil Maguire [dem.J of California made a
vigorous speech favoring his amendment,
and upon its completion, the hour of 5
o'clo:k having arrived, according to the
arrangement agreed upon, the vote was
takeh upon making the internal revenue
bill tn amendment to the tariff bill and the
amendment of Mr. Maguire, which was still
pending.
Mf. Magulre's amendment was lost—6 to
180.
Only Messrs. Johnson and Harter of
Ohio. Maguire of California, Warner of
New York, Tracey of New York and
Simpson of Kansas voted for it.
Th? vote then recurred on the adoption
of tie internal revenue amendment. All the
popOllst-s and quite a number of republi-
cans. Including Messrs. Bowers of Cali-
fornia, Pickler of South Dakota, Hartman
of Montana. Sweet of Idaho, Bartholdt of
Missouri, Taylor of Tennessee, White of
OhlO and Doolittle of Washington voted
for .t. The main body of the republi-
cans, however, did not vote. The vote
against the amendment was confined to
the democrats from the eastern states.
The amendment was carried by a vote of
175 to 56.
The internal revenue amendment having
been disposed of, the chair stated that
the pending amendments were those to
the barley schedule, which was pending
when the committee rose last Saturday.
Mr. Loekwood made the point of order
that these amendments could not be voted
upon. The bill was reported to the house.
The chair overruled the point of order,
and Mr. LockWfod appealed from the <5e-
cLsion of the Chair. The decision of the
chair was sustained by 189 to 14.
Mr. Lockwood's evident purpose was to
secure time to prevent a vote until 5.30,
when the committee would have to rise.
He made t'he point of order that when the
committee rose last Saturday debate had
not been closed, and then tried to debate
the question.
The chair took 'him off his feet by de-
claring that when the committee rose last
Saturday it was divided on a motion to
close the debate. He ordered the tellers to
take their places. The advocates of the
barley amendments rushed forward and
ran between the tellers. The opponents
lagged behind while the minutes ticked by.
The tellers lacked only seven votes of a
quorum when the hour of 5.30 arrived,
when the committee rose and the house
took a recess until 8 o'clock.

THE NIGHT SESSION.
Washington, Jan. 31.—The last night ses-
sion of the tariff debate was unusually in-
teresting. The speakers were Messrs. Bak-
er [pop.] of Kansas, Bingham [rep.l of New

cliard [dem.J of Louisiana, Ryan [dem.] of
New York, Paschal [dem.] of Texas, Mc-
Creary [rep.] of Minnesota and Ilouk [dem.]
of Ohio.
Mr. Blanchard said that although he be-
lieved the action on sugar would cripple, if
it did not utterly destroy, the sugar inter-
ests of Louisiana, he would support the
bill. He expressed the belief that the
senate would remodel the bill so as to
make it more nearly a revenue measure.
Mr. Cummings made a vigorous speech
against the bill, attacking if all along the
line on account of the theorv upon which
it was framed. He believed it ought to be
a revenue measure. As the representative
. ever gave him

Dairy Kitchen, New York, where th y

handed him an envelope, which upon open-
ing contained $300.
In 1890 he received a letter from Mrs.
Porter containing $300 and later In the year
she »*ent him $400 by express. In 1891 Mrs.
Porter made the first note, which was for
$1200. This he discounted.
proceeded to detail the aid which
Mrs. Porter had rendered him from time
to time. He asserted that he never forged
her name to a single note and protested his
innocence of the charge.

Washington, Jan. 31,—Tho success of Sec-
retary Carlisle's proposed bond loan was
fully assured when the department closed
this afternoon, as the offers to take bonda
received to-day, added to those heretofore
mal<e an aggregate of between
$65,000,000 and $70,000,000, Those received from
New York to-day amounted to $16,000,000,
and tn addition offers were ryeelved from
Boston and Chicago. Offers irlll contlnuo
to be received up to noon tomorrow. The
present expectation Is that the secretary
will make public the amounts of offers und
premiums some time later.
THE NEW YORK BIDS.
New York, Jan. 31.—At 5 o'clock Presi-
dent Stone wired Secretary Carlisle that
the total subscription for bonds was some-
thing In excess of $45,000,000. This Included
the bids of three Boston houses, Kidder,
Peabody & Co., E. R. Morse & Co. ana
'?.• • ' ,a>' & Go. The first named firm took
$1,500,000, the second $500,000 and an even
million for the last. The iargest subscrip-
tion received this afternoon was that of
l.azeurd, Freres & Co. for $1,000,000. J. D.
Probts Kt Co. came next, buying $700,000.
Ungers Smlthers & Co. followed with $500.-
000 and Hobgarten & Co. bid for $250,000.
The rest was taken up in small bids, rang-
ing from $100,000 to $250,000.
THE NEW YORK BANKERS.
Washington, Jan. 31,-It Is said here that
the New York bankers have been more In-
terested in securing Secretary Carlisle's
opinion concerning the possible effect of
the proposed tariff legislation than con-
cerning the adverse report of the house
Judiciary committee upon the bond issue.
The bankers suggested that if the Wilson
bill should become a law it would so re-
duce the revenues of the government that
the treasury department would not be able
to make up the deficiency tills year, but
that it is likely to continue indefinitely,
and they are said to have questioned Mr.
Carlisle at some length upon the proba-
bility of the passage of the bill. The Idea
which appears to control the New York
financiers is that if the revenues were to
be so cut as to render probable the con-
tinued Issue of bonds, so many of them
would ultimately be thrown upon the mar-
ket as to depreciate their value and render
it unwise to pay the high premium put
upon the 55-10 bonds by the terms of Sir.
Carlisle's proposition.
"INEXPLICABLY SHABBY."
London, Jan. 31.—The Financial News says
that the action of New York bankers to-
ward Seoretary Carlisle's proposed bond
issue is Inexplicably shabby. The bankers
have resorted to a lot of technical objec-
tions. Mr. Carlisle, if bluffed, must perse-
vere In the Issue of bonds and not be in
fear of failure.
WACO THE CONVENTION CITY.
It Is the Health Resort of <the World—Cot-
ton Palace.
Waco, Tex., Jan. 31.—Waco Is hustling
and bustling and the bright land active
outlook proceeds from the Hot Wells. The
influence of these wells Is felt everywhere.
They draw people, the sick to be made
well and the well to be made better. Not
only do they draw Individuals and fami-
lies, but they draw associations, lodges and
conventions. On the 5th proximo the grand
lodge and grand encampment, Independent
Order of Odd Fellows, will come. On the
9th proximo the eoimmissioned officers, Uni-
form Rank Knights of Pythias, will come.
O11 tllie 13th and 14th proximo the Texas
Association of Merchant Tailors will come.
So much for February. On the 5th day of
next April the Texas division United Con-
federate Veterans will assemble in Waco
for tin' grand annual encampment. On the
17t'h of April the Texas division Travelers'
Protective association will meet in Waco.
These associations, lodges and conventions
selected Waco In which to meet
because a double purpose could be
effected. They could transact bus-
iness and get the benefit of the Hot Wells,
Not less than 5000 of these delegates will
bring their families. II will cause a cash
disbursement In the city of $100,000 during
the spring.
Waco wiil get the Cotton Palace built
with an auditorium which will seat 20,000
people and will capture the next state
democratic convention. Waco Is prosperous
and does not mind telling it to the world,
