THE BARROWCLiFFE CASE.
The Young Woman Can Speak, but Has
 Not Named Her Assailant.

1he young woman Can Speak, but Has
 Not Named Her Assailant.
 JERSEY CITY, Jan. 4-The condition of Miss Barrowcliffe is improving. Wednes- day she was able to say few words, but as yet the authorities have shown no dis position to tax her memory in regard to the assault which was committed on her. Her mother, who has lived for some time past ill Brooklyn, called at the City hospi- tai, but was denied an interview with her daughter. It was said, however, that later in the day Mrs Barrowcliffe was permitted to see the girl.
 The police authorities have not as yet been able to fix definitely upon any of the large number of suspects that have been placed under surveillance as the guilty person. They are not even sure that the guilty one is among that number. A wom- ans hatpiq was found near the spot where the assault was committed, and it has been declared by some of Miss Barrowcliffe's friends that the pin does not belong to her The very slightest clew is being seized upon by the police with eagerness. They hope within a very few days to be able to draw their net around the criminal.

 chorus of eight young lady friends of the
 bride, all dressed in pink chiffon over
 satin, sang the march as they advanced to
 meet the bride, who entered at this mo- 1 ment on the arm of her father and passed through the lines thus formed to the chan eel, where the groom and his best man were smilingly awaiting her arrival They were followed by the bridal party
 and ushers, who took positions on either
 side of the altar. The rector, the Rev. Dr. Bryan, proceeded with the Episcopal mar
 riage service. The brides dress was an elegant moire antique, deliberately trimmed with point lace, and the bridal veil was of

SESSION BEGAN LIVELY.
Few Members Present, but a
 Hot Debate In the House.
FEATURES OF THE INCOME TAX.

The Democrats Failed to Start the Tariff
 Debate From Lack of Members-Frye
 Breaches the Hawaiian AIattOr I'm the
 senate-AdmiraI Benham Heard From. WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-The most signid- rant thing in the session of the senate was the resolution introduced by Senator Frye of Maine declaring it to be the sense of the senate that the administration should com init no overt act of interference in Hawaii pending the investigation of the imbroglio by the senate committee on foreign affairs. The evident object of the resolution is to declare the sense of the senate to be ad- verse to any American interference, either direct or indirect, should any coup d'etat be resorted to for the purpose of restoring the queen to the throne.
 The senator asked that the resolution lie upon the table for the present, and it is ex- pected that he will make it the subject of some pertinent remarks before asking it's reference to the committee on foreign af- fairs.
 The discussion of private bill called up by Senator Pugh indicated desire on the part of some senators to repeal the present law which excludes all foreigners from the right of ownership of real estate in the Dis trict of Columbia, but it likewise developed the IacC that 10 GnlS repeal some OGner Sen- ators are strongly opposed.
 Too Many Missing Democrats.
 The tariff debate of 1894 did not begin in the house, as anticipated The Republic ans showed fight at the very outset and they scored the first victory. Before the time arrived for MT. Wilson to take the floor MT. McCreary tried to arrange an amicable agreement by which two days Friday and Saturday-should be given to the consideration of the Hawaiian resolu- tion. Mir. Hit, the Republican leader of the foreign affairs committed, expressed a willingness to acquiesce in the arrange ment, but Mr. Boutelle of Maine wanted to precipitate the question immediately by calling up his resolution. Both sides were ugly, but after a lively row the speaker held that MT. Boutelle's resolution was privileged. The Democratic members of the ways and means committee were not willing to go ahead with the Hawaiian dis cussion until the tariff debate had been gotten well under way, however, and the question of consideration was raised against the Boutelle resolution. The Republicans then executed flank movement by refus- ing to vote.
 The Democrats found themselves in the humiliating position of not being able to muster a quorum. They were in check, and after revoking all leaves of absence MT. Wilson reluctantly moved an adjourn ment. The Democrats confidently expect quorum here today, but the effect of the Republicans tactics will probably be that the Hawaiian matter will be entirely post poned until the tariff bill is disposed of
