Mr.. Hoar Protests Against Keeping the

New Mexico Admitted.

WASHINGTON, June s9.-Mr. Hoar
started a series Of filibustering ma
neuvers yesterday in the senate which
seemed to indicate that it might be the
purpose Of republicans to use the joint
resolutions passed by the house We'd
pesday to continue for thirty days
after June 80 the appropriations Of the
present fiscal year to blockade the tar
if bill. The resolution must be passed
before July /, when all annual appro-
priations cease. As soon as the senate
met, Mr.. Hoar made the point Of no
qunrum.: astheze were only .seyen- sen
ators present. Twenty-Five minutes
were spent awaiting the appearance OF
a sufficient number to proceed with
business.
Mr.. Cockrell, chairman Of the appro-
priations committee, then renewed his
motion Of last night to refer the reso-
luton TO his committee. Mr.. Iloar
superseded this with one that took pre-
cedence, moving to require with in
structions to report back as an amend
ment the sundry civil appropriation
bill as it passed the house. Mr.. lIoar
consumed the remainder of the morn
ing session. He protested against
keeping the tariff bill before the sem
ate to the exclusion Of az other lcgis-
lation, saying that when the majority
asked the minority to continue exist
ing appropriations in order to press a
bill that the minority believes in
furious, they asked too much.
When the hour of 1870 arrived the
question of disposal of the resolution
gave way to the tariff bill. The pend
ing amendment was that of Mr.. Hill to
limit the time to the period between
March ! and August | Of each year,
when the books OF corporations should
be open to inspection. Upon this there
ensued protracted discussion. Messrs.
Chandler, Teller, Manderson and Alli-
son parucipatlny- Consideration OF
the income tax provisions of the tariff
bin was completed at 1876. Then Mr..
Hill made a motion to strike out the
income tax feature. Lost "a 10 40.
