This resulted only in side-tracking Mr..
Routelle and his Hawaiian resolution as
when the vote came to be taken on the /
adoption of the order the Democrats
lacked nine votes of Il quorum. At least
twenty Democrats at the capitol either
absented themselves from the hall or
refused to answer to their names when
called.
Washington, Jan. S.---The Democratic !
quorum in the house has not as vet ma
terialzed. Saturday night the house |
adopted the extreme expedient of ordering |
the arrest of all members absent without |
leave, and deputies are busy serving |
warrants on these members, of whom |
twenty-One are Democrats and nineteen !
Republicans. From the Republican ab- !
sentees, of course, aid is expected.
They can be brought here under duress.
but they cannot be made to vote. This
applies to some of the Democrats az
we'll as Republicans, and if the opposition
within the ranks of the Democratic ma
jority can be organized, as some OF them
desire, enough Democratic members might
refrain from voting to prevent the con-
sideratiOn of the bill in it's present shape.
Privately some of the Democrats do not
hesitate to admit that the gravity of the
| situation is very great. The possibility
| If defeating the consideration OF the bill
ST. likes terror into their hearts, and some
of them, like Col. Oates of Alabama,
| openly advocate a resort to the parlla-
mentary expedient utilized by the Fifty
| first congress of counting quorum.
| Speaker Crisp asserts most positively that
they will not be forced to this resort.
He thinks voting quorum will be here
cert; inly on Tuesday at the farthest.
If it cannot be obtained then, another
Zen ccratis caucus will be called. This
is ir deed what those who are dissatisfied
18th the bill are aiming at They de-
clare that as soon as they can demon
stratc that not i sufficient number IT
Democrats will vote to consider the bill
the leaders will be obliged to submit to
NJ. terial modifca tons which the dis
g1urtled members will propose. Some of
the Eastern Democrats who are fighting
the income tax proposition are willing to
e, to almost any length to eliminate this
feature of the bill.
The principal item of tho senate pro-
grumme for the week has been agr' ID
upon 1t is to be the consideration Of
the federal election bill. This prcgra m1n':,
like all other prearrAngementsi in the SEN
ate. Is subject to change but it is believed
that it will be practically observed in this
instance except in one contingency. H.
is barely possible that the affairs OF
Hawaii may again demand the attention
Of the senate to the exclusion OF all other
subjects for at least a portion Of the
, week. If the government should fail
to give explicit dcrial to the report il,
, circulation that Mr.. Willis has asked tie
: Dole government to retire in the inter
! est of the queen. there are sure TO be q
number of resolutions of inquiry intro
t duce:., and several very pointed speeches
may be exp arted.

to this week, when Mr.. Davis of Minnesot
