In the senate.

WASHINGTON CITY. Feb. 23-The senate
without hitch or delay today passed the
diplomatic and consular and military
academy appropriation bills, and then
took up the executive, legislative and judi
cial appropriation bill.
During the discussion the house bill for
the opening and adjustment of the ac-
counts of George w. Jones. the first
United States senator from Iowa. was laid
betore the senate. Herman said the COM
mittee on foreign relations had already
considered the matter favorably and asked
that the bill be put upon its passage. That
course was taken and the bill passed, its
venerable beneficiary being present in the
chamber at the time and bowing his
thanks. Without disposing of the legisla-
tive appropriation bill the senate ad-
journed.
The senate has rejected the nomination
of JohnV F. Findlay. of Maryland, to be
arbitrator for the United States in the
matter Of Chilean claims.
The president has sent to the senate the
nominations of Benton Hanchett. of
Michigan, to succeed Judge Jackson as
United States circuit judge of the Sixth
district. J. E. Cochran, of Nebraska, as
consul to San Salvador; r. B. Llewellyn,
of Utah. as probate judge of San Pete
county, Utah.

OLYMPIA. Feb. 23.-tspecial. Tho anti
Allen chiefs were sure that break in the
Allen vote would occur today in favor Of
Judge Humes. The result of the
ballots taken shows how great
the break was. So confident were
the Northern Pacific manipulators of the
opposition to Senator Allen that he would
lose today that they sent positive assur-
ances Of it to Tacoma and parties
there last night made bets with
Allen men that the break would be
made. The bulletins of the ballots must
have been depressing to the deluded Ia
coma opponents of majority rule.
1t is stated that Eugene Wilson is in
the hands of his friends. He is being
groomed by DR.. Powers. Of EIlensburg,
who is here with him. and the next break
is to be made to the national bank exam
iner it il announced. 1t will be just about
as disastrous to Allen as the other dark
horse breaks have been.

STAND BY SENATOR ALLEN.

Eastern Politicians Consider That the
Proper and Only Course.
WASHINGTON CITY. Feb. 23.-[Special.l-
Dispatches in Eastern papers from Wash
ington state relative to the senatorial con-
test at Olympia give the impression to
people here that very strenuous effort
has been made. and is being made, to
force Senator Allen to retire as candi-
date. Whether there is any truth in these
stories or not Is not known here and the
situation Of course is not as thoroughly
understood as is the case at Olympia,
but Republicans who have been promi-
nent as political leaders in discussing
this matter hold to the opinion that
if Mr.. Allen has refused to withdraw
he has certainly pursued what seems
to them to be the right course. They
argue that the indications point to the
election Of an anti-Republican, provided
that Senator Allen should get out of the
race. Now that the contest has been so
prolonged and Senator Aliens supporters
have been so determined, they can hardly
the united strength of the Republican
members. and the chances, they believe,
are that they could not even hold the
votes that are now coming to Senator Al
len on each ballot.
From what the Posr-INTELLIGENcER cor
respondent can1 learn, the Republican een-
atorial Steering" committee believes that
it is not necessary for the committee or
any individual member to try to dictate to
the members of the Washington state leg
islature what action they should take, but
in discussing the matter quietly among
themselves and with their friends
they give vent to the opinion
that Senator Allen seems to be the candi-
date who is more likely to succeed than
any other that has or can be placed in the
race. 1t is still claimed by all good Re-
publicans here that it is an outrage for the
small minority of Republican members to
prevent the election of the choice of the
majority by forcing and continuing dead
lock. The danger, in their minds. is that
the Democrats, Populists and some rule or
ruin Republicans may yet try to make
combination having in view the election
of an anti Republican senator. For the
Republicans to win. it is believed that tho
majority is pursuing the polite course by
continuing to vote for Mr.. Allen for re-
election

Mr.. Herbert was discussing Puget sound
matters today with the PosT INTELLIGEN-
GER correspondent and referred to the ap-
pearance of Swineford before his COM
mittee In the interest Of Everett. He said
that he supposed that the Alaska ex-gover-
nor had case until he began to question
him when he found that he was merely
opposing Port Orchard in the interest of a
scheme OF his own. Mr.. Herbert then dis
cussed the importance Of Puget sound to
this country in naval way. He said that
1t could not be overestimated and that it
must of necessity be the most important
place on the Pacific coast. He said that he
should always be glad to give matters
affecting the Sound his attention while

any one who will not ask any questions

Mayor Baxter on the Income Tax,

To representative of the Boston Globe,
Mayor Baxter. has this to say about the
proposed federal income tax:
II can see no good reason for the enact
ment of a law to tax incomes for the
support of our government. That it must
be supported is self evident, and fha
practical question is: What is the easiest
and most equitable method, and also the
least burdensome to the people?
Certainly not by an income tax, the
collection of which would rquire the
creation of numerous Offices and entail a
needless burden upon the people, and
which, moreover, is una merican and
cannot meet with the app oval of expert
enced and practical men.
But why. change we'll tried method
which has served us SO we'll in the past
for one of doubtful utility?
why not collect all that we need by a
tax on imports of foreign merchandise?
No method is SO simple, so easy of ac-
complishment, and SO equitable as this,
and I am at loss to understand why
men of even average thinking ability,
can advocate the partial abandonment
OF SO excellent a method, and the
adoption of one SO pernicious.
With respect to corporation tax, of
two evils should regard it as the lesser. !"
