CONGRESS RcCONvENEs.
Difiicuity In Securing p Quorum in Either


Difficulty In Securing = Quorum in Either
House.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-When the sem
ate was called to order at noon hardly q
score of members we're in their seats.
There was considerable delay before q
quorum was secured. After the reading
Of the journal Blackburn, OF Kentucky,
presented the credentials OF Senator Eppa
Huntin, OF Virginia, who took the oath
OF office. Frye presented a resolution de-
claring that, in the opinion at the senate,
during the investigation by the commit
with Hawaii there should be no interior
the restoration Of Queen Liliuokalani or
government.
NO QUORUM IN THE HOUSE.
In the house, after the reading OF the
journal, the Hawaiian fight began, Bou-
telle, in behalf OF the republicans, bring
ing it up to antagonize the tariff bill.
McCreary, chairman OF the foreign affairs
committee, sought to avoid this subject
by trying to make arrangements by
which Friday and Saturday Of this week
should be set aside for consideration of a
resolution reported by the foreign affairs
committee in lieu of the Hit
and Boutelle resolutions. Hit, of the
minority of the foreign affairs committee
stated that inssmuch az this proposition
gave the republicans substantially what
they desired, namely, a time fixed fol-
debate on the Hawaiian question, he
would be glad to accept.
The democrats failed to muster quo
rum and until they do the tariff bill will
be blocked. There is little prospect OF 6
quorum today.

The PROPOSED INCOME TAX
An Outline Of Its Salient Features BY
Representative HcHlllin.
The BILL APPROACHING COMPLETION
II Will Provide Means for Compelling Dis
closures IS TO Incomes, and Penal
ties for Falling to Report.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-McMillan, the
chairman of the subcommittee IN
charge OF the internal revenue features oil
the tariff bill, outlined today the salient
features OF the income tax measure
which Re expects to complete in day or
two He said:
1.-THE corporation part Of the measure
will pot require an inquisitlon on every
individual to determine what amount oil
corporate stock he holds, but assessment
will be made against and paid by corpo-
rations in the first instance, and hence
the man owning corporate stock will not
be worried by assessors unless he is sub
ect to the individual income tax. As to
foreigners and foreign associations hold
ing interest bearing securities in this
country, they will be assessed the same
ar our own citizens. The collection oil
the tax will he in the hands Of the inter
nal revenue bureau. The individuals
taxed will number not more than third
as many men as were taxed under tht
old income tax law"
The bill will provide means for compell
ing disclosures as to incomes, somewhat
similar to the methods used by severa
states. Penalties for failing to report, Oh
for false reports, have not yet been fixet
upon.
Jerry Simpson said that the populis
section of congress would solidiy supper
the income tax plan. He regarded it al
opening the way for free trade. Repre-
sentative Tarnsey, one of the member
Of the ways and means committee, whit
voted for the income tax today, met thu
objection that the tremendous opposition
would come from the class receiving TIN
incomes, with the laconic remark:
"There are more men driving dray
than receiving incomes

would undoubtedly learn OF the warrant

telegram to Mr.. Edmiston's attorney
stating that he had been delayed in the
mountains on account OF snow, and that
he would return to Walla Waila before
going to Seattle. There will besno Grim

COCHRAN IS AGAINST 1T.
Persistent and Aggressive In His Fight
Against the Income Tax.

Persistent and AEgressive In His Fight
Against the Income Tax.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-The democratic
treasury department last night to finally
decide upon the income tax question and
internal revenue features of the tariff
bill. Mr.. Bynum's absence prevented
u vote ON the income question, and after
N session of three hours the committee
adjourned until today at o'clock. The
discussion last night was general, cover
ing the entire question how this deficit
OF the revenues is to be met. The issue
between members is whether the income
tax shall be upon individual incomes or
simply upon incomes from corporations
The weight OF administration influence
WAS thrown strongly against the individ-
nal tax proposition. Cochran, of New
York, was persistent and aggressive. He
made five speeches in which he contended
that the necessary revenue could be
raised from a single tax on incomes fiOm
corporations. He produced figures to
show that one per cent tax on incomes
from corporations would produce a rev.
enue OF SAC, 900 900. But those who ia
vor an individual income tax maintain
that not over $l3, 1000 900 could be raised
this way. incidentally details of other
internal revenue features and the pro-
posed increase on whisky and beer were
discussed, but all pivoted on the decision
of the main proposition, it being conceded
that II a tax be levied against individual
incomes, increase from other sources
would be necessary.

A DYNAMITEk CAPTURED.
Expressed Regret That He Was Unabi

Expressed Regret That He Was Unable
to Kill More People.
MADRID, Jan. "A very important
and sensational capture has been made
by the police Of Sarsgossa. Ever since
the Liceo theater outrage the authorities
have been searching in vain for Salvador
Franch, known to be the most desperate
and forceful of the anarchist leaders, but
he seemed to be kert fully informed as to
the intentions regarding him, and always
managed to escape the clutches of the
law in the nick OF time. 1t was only af
ter the arrest of number of sympathi-
zers, among the secret police themselves,
that they made any Roadway. Franch
was finally located. and after most elab-
crate preparations and gradual drawing
of the lines about the house the police
made descent ON his quarters. When
they burst in the door, with drawn re.
volvers, Franch drew q revolver and shot
himself in the breast inficting severe
wound, and attempted to swallow poison.
Taken before magistrate, he fought
desperately and avowed completely in the
Liceo outrage, expressing fiendish regret
that no more people were killed and that
he was not able to carry out further and
more bloody outrages. He will he taken
to Barcelona for trial.

The Treasurer of Philadelphia Club
Goes Astray.
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 4.-The Colum ola
Club recently discovered that some of its
funds had gone astray without being ac-
counted for. After an investigation
President John 7. Bailey preferred
charges of embezzlement against Geo.
Lynn, lately the steward of the club, and
Magistrate Durham held him in 81 900
bail for hearing today. Lynn has been
the steward Of the club for about three
years and was always considered per-
fectly trustworthy. About five weeks
ago he resigned from the position, giving
as his reason that he had some misunder-
standing with the chairman OF the House
Committee and that they could not get
along together. His resignation was ac-
cepted, and then an investigation OF his
books was begun preparatory to starting
the new steward out with clean records
The result OF the audit of the accounts,
it is said, startled those who had it in
charge. They found out enough to cause
them to swear out warrant for Lynn's
arrest.

purely under federal control and that
appointees can be sent from any section
OF the country to government agencies.
