The Income Tax Is Certain TO Be
Fixed as a Rider on the
Tariff Bill.
Republicans VIII Refrain From
Voting or Vote 20 Incorpo-
rate IL.
Eot Over Thirty Democrats Expected 20
Oppose tho Finai Passage Of the
Amended Measure.

WASHINGTON Jan. 2s.-Tho tariff debate
will close in the house mort Thursday at
three o'clock. when the vote will be taken
on the pc ndinR amendments and the hnal
passage Of the bill. The debate durinR the
coming week will relate entirely 90 the in
ternal revenue bill which the democratic
caucus decided to place upon the tariff bill
ne a rider. The principal opposition will
be directed aRainst the income tax. which
IL being bitterly opposed by eastern demo
Gratis. The republicans, however. will not
vote With the democratic opponents iof the
income tar. but will refrain from voting or
else, If necessary to make a quorum. vote
for IL in order to incorporate 10 in the
bill. ANY attempt to defeat II will
therefore be hopeless. The republicans
have informally decided. either 20 refrain
from voting OF else to vote against the mo-
tion 20 reeommit but will vote with the
opposition aRAinst the passage Of the BILL
or for q motion TO strike out the enaeting
clause. 10 is believed that not more than
thirty democrats will carry their opposition
20 the extent Of voting directly against the
bill. From present indications the demo-
Gratis claim for the bill q ma siority OF thirty
or more.
After the tariff Is disposed Of on Thurs
day the special order will be brought In for
consideration. The Hawaiian matter will
occupy Friday and Saturday. The Nc
CIeary resolution will form the basis of
debate, and, while some very lively aud
picturesque speeches will probably be made.
10 is expected II will be passed practically
By a strict party vote.
The present indications are that the fed
erai elections bill and the Hawaiian ques-
tion will IN n large measure divide the at-
tention OF the senate this week. II the tar
| III bill should rsss the house according TO
programme Thursday and be sent immedi-
atsiy 10 the senate nothing would be done
with IL moro than to refer ID 90 the finance
committee, where ID will rest for nt least
few weeks. The Hawaiian question has
| the right OF wAy for the morning hour and
| the elections bill after that time. The
| Hawaiian discussion will be based upon the
resolution reported by Turpie from the
committee on foreign relations and the
various amendments and substitutes will
incidentally be taken up.
! There are four smendments proposed,
one eaoh By MAnderson. Dolph. Stewart
and G..sinrer. aud one substitute. that
offered BY Vest. The amendments Of the
| first three senators named are very much In
the same line and recognize the present
| government Of Hawaii, without committing
the senate TO any proposition against an
nexGtion. Dolph's amendment looks 20 the
recall of Minister Willis. and Vests substi-
tute declares unqualinsdly against anneKa-
/ tiou.
| In case the judiciary committee makes
/ report upon the Peckman nomination there
will likely be considerable time devoted 20
executive business.

LINCOLN, Nob.. Jan. 2S.-Great excite
msnt has been caused By the arrest OF
Bishop BonReum on the charge Of criminal
libel. preferred By Father Corbett. Of Pal
myra, who. dissatisfied with the slowness
Of the ecclesiastical tribunal. before whom
he preferred charges against the bishop
some time ago. determined TO put q stop TO
his persecution By the bishop. The partic-
ular charge on which the arrest was made
was based on a letter sent to the paTishiOn-
srs of Father Corbstt At Palmyra by Bishop
Bonaoum while the father was a priest IN
So Louis. This letter was a notification 20
the parishiOnsrs that Corbstt was under the
ban OF Suspension and q waning 20 not
hold spiritual communication with him in
any way or take part in any religious eIsr-
oisea or celebrations he might conduct.
This letter Father Corbett alleges in his com
plant, is direct breach Of the order Of
MGR. nAtoll, in which the latter by au-
thority from Rome had restored the priest
to his charge after nrat SUSPENSION by the
bishop which occurred In the early part Of
last summer. That restoration, he Avers,
was 10 last pending the trial Of ths cause
By Archbishop Hennessy. and the present
suspension, while being a breach OF Satollfs
orders, Is also positively without any cause.
The priest further sets mp his belief that
this last suspension made 10 villifT, soanda-
lizs and defamo him and crafty the bishop.
he winds mp by saying he believes the
bishop ia crazy.
