THE INCOME TAX WINS
A Caucus Of Democratic Represent
atives Favors It.
MUST GO WITH THE WILSON BILL.

Bourks Cochran, However, Insists That
He Will Not Abide by the Decision of
tho caucus-Debate on the Wilson Bill
Extended Three Days.
WASHINGTON. Jan. ae-At caucus Of
the Democratic members OF the house
late yesterday afternoon the friends of nm
Income tax succeeded In carrying a reso-
tuition that the internal revenue bill, In
Guiding the income tax, should be added
as an amendment to the Wilson bill. II
was further determined that the tariff de-
bate should be extended three days in
order TO give time for the discussion of
the income tax. Under the new arrange.
ment the final vote on the tariff and In
come tax will be taken Thursday. These
conclusions were reached after an ami.
mated meeting of an hour.
At the request OF Mr. Wilson the day
session of the house came to a close an
hour earlier than usual, In order that the
caucus might be held. Mr.. Holman oc-
cupied the chair. The attendance was
unusually large, 1874 Democratic mem
beers responding to the roll call.
D Representative Fithian, of Illinois, at
once precipitated the income tax contest
by introducing a resolution favorable to
attaching the internal revenue bill as an
amendment to the Wilson bill Mr. Fifth
ian supported his resolution in brief
speech, In which he warned those who
were opposing the income tax that the
friends Of the measure knew they com
manded a majority, and that they could
not be checked or defeated by filibuster-
ing methods.
Speeches in favor of the resolution were
made by Messrs. Hall, Bryan and Hatch,
and opposing speeches by Messrs. Reilly,
Black and Tracey.
Mr.. Wilson presented substitute for
the Fithian resolution, proposing that the
tariff debate should be closed and the vote
taken. After that q special rule should
be brought in giving the Internal revenue
bill two days for debate Mr. Wilson
supported his substitute in a vigorous
speech. His plea was In vain, however,
for the vote taken on the Wilson substi-
tute showed 6s in its favor and o. against
A hubbub was occasioned by move on
the part of the New York members to Sc
cure vote by tellers and to secure an ad-
journment,
Mr.. Hatch called upon Mr.. Cochran,
who was acting as leader for the New
Workers, to state whether he would be
bound by the action of the caucus and
with much vigor Mr.. Cochran answered
that he would not. The efforts for an ad-
1ournment were unavailing, and the ques-
tion required to the Fithian resolution
This was carried by SO to II.
The result brought shouts OF approval
from the income tax men. Mr.. Bryan
then moved that the committee on rules
should be instructed to report special
rule extending the tariff debate three DAYS
in order to allow full discussion OF the
income tax. This also prevailed with
little dissent.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 26-Only one amend
ment to the tariff bill of Importance was
adopted by the house yesterday, that re
pealing the reciprocity clause Of the Nc
Kinley law The entire day was con-
sumed by the New York Democrats, who
were filibustering against the income tax
proposition, which they feared would be
offered, along with the other features of
the internal revenue bill, as an amend
ment to the Wilson bill. The Democratic
advocates of the tax finally became 30 i'm

way to settle the question would be by
holding acsucus.
The session of the senate was I'M
