Washington, April 2.-There was a
good attendance in the Senate today
when the gavel fell.
There was a number of the visiting
Pennsylvania laboring men in the gal
lery, wearing the badges of the delega-
ton.
Senator Carey, of Wyoming, called up
the House bill for the protection of
the birds and animals in Yellowstone
National park, and asked immediate
consideration for it.
Before final action could be taken, the
morning hour expired and the tariff bill
was laid before the Senate.
Senator Dolph obtained the floor and
resumed his speech, which was inter
rupted by adjournment yesterday.
The workingmen delegates in the gall
lery had the pleasure of hearing Sena-
tor Quay read their petitions and me
MORALS in the Senate and plead the
cause of protection.
Senator Dolph had yielded to Senator
Quay for the presentation of the me-
MORALS, although it was contrary TO the
tariff debate agreement, but unanimous
consent was accorded.
After the presentation, the greater
portion of the delegates in the gallery
filed out and Senator Dolph continued
speaking.
A message was received from the
president transmitting Hawaiian CORE
spondence.
Senator Dolph took up the question
Of paper making and wood-pulp making
in the state of Oregon, and appealed
TO the Senate not to destroy this in
dustry in his state.
A Pertinent Query.
Senator Gray asked whether he
wanted to levy tribute on the state of
Delaware in order that Oregon might
have monopoly Of the paper busi-
ness.
II did not say I wanted a monopoly
of any industry for my state replied
Mr.. Dolph, adding: "The Senator was
not paying attention, but is simply try
i12g to get into the Record" Uaughter)
He went on to say Oregon used a
great quantity of goods from Delaware,
and he paid high tribute to the in
dustry of that state.
Senator Gray thanked him for his COM
plimentary words about Delaware, and
at the same time assured him that he
had not been actuated by a desire to
get into the Record. The present de-
pressed condition of affairs in Delaware
and other states, he said, was due to
the elimination of thirty years of high
protection. We were living under the
highest protective laws the country had
ever known. There had not been a
single industry of Delaware benefited
by the Mckinley law, and he predicted
that upon the passage of the pending
bill prospects all over the country will
be frightened.
"The senator from Delaware may
preach that doctrine" said Mr.. Dolph,
"but there were thousands of working
men out of employment in his state
who would convince him of the fall
lacy of that doctrine"
Senator Gray closed the incident by
declaring they were out of employment
because the Mckinley tariff law was in
force, and Senator Dolph resumed his
speech.
1t Is Easily Collected.
There was some discussion between
Mr.. Dolph and Mr., Allen, when Mr.
Chandler entered the debate with the
suggestion that there was no necessity
for hurry, and as the senator from Ne
braska had shown a commendable de-
sire to learn something about the tar
if, he thought Senator Dolph should
answer all his questions and satisfy his
thirst for information.
Mr.. Dolph agreed to yield to Senator
Allen, but added that next September
when the thermometer registered 10C
degrees, when the Senate met at II
o'clock and held night sessions, and
when the speeches on the tariff were
getting prosy and uninteresting, il
would be time enough for Senator Allen
to exhibit impotence, but at present
all was harmony anu good fellowship.
In considering the income tax ques-
ton, difference of opinion was dis
covered among the Republicans.
After Mr.. Dolph had given his ex-
perience in the collecting of the income
tax in Oregon, when it was in force
when not more than one-tenth of the
tax was collected, Mr.. Teller Republi.
cam, of Colorado, inquired whether
there was the same difficulty about col
lecting the tax in England
Mr.. Dolph said he had no information
from England, but he knew the tax haG
been evaded in this country, and peo-
pie were committing perjury to escape
it.
Slandering the People.
Mr.. Teller said his experience ha6
been different from that of Mr. Dolph
He did not think it was evaded any
more than the personal property tax
In Colorado, where an income tax wa:
/ in force, there was not as much diff.
Guilty in collecting it, as there was in
collection of the personal property tax
He did not think it was a good argu.
ment against the bill to say the people
were too dishonest to have the tax col
| lected. In his opinion, it was the mos
/ just and equitable tax that could BIZ
| collected.
ut might be improbable, however
/ Mr.. President, I want to say to the
/ senator from New Hampshire Mr
Chandler) who has Just expressed the
same views as Mr.. Dolph, and to tht
( senator from Oregon. and to any Other
! senator who makes the claim that al
income tax cannot be collected because
| the people are dishonest that it is Sian
derous to the people. It is an assump
( ton the American people for a. mere
pittance will commit perjury"
Teller Merely Smiled.
Mr. Chandler and Mr.. Dolph boil
jumped to their feet to reply, and boti
were discussing the question, while Mr.
Teller lay back in his seat and smiled
The hour of o'clock arrived, befor,
! the colloquy ended, and the absence o
quorum, pointed out by Mr.. Quay
| being shown on a roll call, the Senat.
at sos p. m. adjourned.
