Couuress.

Washington, Feb. 5.-The senate again
took mp the federal elections bill 20 the
exclusion Of everything else excep. the
routine moraing business. which will in
clude only the introduction of bills
and the presentation Of reports and
petitions. The senate has agreed that
the discussion of the bond resolution of
Senator Stewart which under ordinary
circumstances would have right of way
up to > o'clock of each day until disposed
of, shall 90 over to permit the u~ninteT-
rupted continuation of the debate on
the elections bill, upon which the vote
will be taken tomorrow afternoon. The
agreement provides that the senate shall
sit Tuesday until this measure is dis
posed of, and in all probability It will
be observed. 1t is possible that the
Hawaiian resolution introduced by
Senator Turpie. from the foreign re-
lations committee. or the house resolution
on the same subject which will probably
reach the senate during the week, will
receive IA degree of attention. but it il
hardly probable that much, if any time
will be given It because of the other
subjects pressing for attention.
The Hawaiian dcpate was resumed in
the house to-day by an arrangement
agreed upon just before the house ad-
journed Saturday night, the Hawaiian
debate is to be extended until $50
Tuesday, the special order for its con
sideratlon being modified so as To in
clude a provision for a vote upon the
Boutelle resolution as will as the Nc
Creary and Hit resolution. The ex-
tension of the time will serve the purpose
of definitely dispOsing of Hawaii in the
house, inasmuch as on Tuesday, had the
order not been modified, it was Mr..
BOutelle's intention TO come to the front
with his resolution. As it was a privileg-
ed question il could not have been
put aside and might nave resulted i'm
additional complications, so tina the
Democratic leaders concluded last night
that the shortest way out of the difficulty
would be to agree to q compromise. Az
yet no Democratic member has broken
over party lines on the Hawaiian matter
as far as debate is concerned and il
seems likely that the McCreary resolu-
ton will pase by practically u strict party
vote. Mr.. Holman, however, is still bent
upon Offering his resolution condemning
the action of Mr.. Stevens, but at tho
same time reprobating theGcourse Of the
administration in attempting the, re-
storation of the deposed queen. How
much Democratic strength, if any, this
resolution will command is still
pr0blematical.

Wilder, Mimi, Feb. 5.-Friday night
about l. o'clock John Richter, living
about three miles southeast of the VII
Iage, shot and killed Silas Hulit of
Mo, ntain Lake. From what can be
learned Hulit, in company with a local

rOhhing chicken roostS. AS Richter tells
the story, they came past his house,
breaking down six clothes lines. about
10 O'Clock. About l. o'clock they re-
turned and tried to enter his barn. He

says, re fired 4 load Of buckshoc. The
charge entered Hulit'S head above and
back of the ear, coming out at the fore
head. The horses ran a short distance,
when they broke loose from the sleigh.
One Of the horses was struck by the
ball that passed through the mans
head, and after running for about forty
rods the animal dropped and died. The
man who was with Hulit left him in
the sleigh and struck off south across

doubt the ability of the child to write
such a letter, in which expressions are
made use of that are hardly childlike.
All Paris was intensely excited over
the execution, and a tremendous crowd
was in the streets near where the exc

to make arrests of anarchists, and the

Wilson then related the story of the
English herring merchant who wrote to
Sir Go5art Peel that he did not want
free trade as 10 herring, as it would let
in Norwegian herring. but hat en- other
goods he was a thorough free trader.
Mr.. Wilson appealed To ms fellow Dem
ocrats not to allow any herring arguments
TO impede the movement toward The over
throw of the protective system.
Referring tn an Income Tax,
Mr.. Wilson said he had not wanted it
attached To the bill. but once attached, he
supported il with it with all the loyalty
at his command. There was continued
applause as Mr.. Wilson denied the
charges of sectionalism in the bill. He
said that the animating feeling OF those
who had framed this bin was to make
this country one In which one man would

peal TO his fellow Democrats. He told

wanted every Democratic name recorded
on that historic roli. In that ease, he

these pledges to the people. (Applausc.J
1t was not a perfect bill, but il was Il
step in the right direction. In referring
to various features Of the bill he spoke
of al income tax, which brought out
long and loud applause from the strong
income tax element in the house.
He cited a speech Of Senator Sherman's
twenty years ago to the effect that a tax
which fell heaviest on consumption and
did not bear heavily on the wealth and
income of the country, was intrinsically
wrong. Mr.. Crisp supported the income
tax in vigorous terms. He said 100000
600 of tax on accumulated wealth was
but a small tribute in return for the
benefits it received.
Mr.. Crisp closed with an eloquent ap-
peal to his Democratic associates TO
waive minor objections and to look at
the great Democratic principles involved.
Let us stand together" said he. Let
us redeem our pledges. Let us pass this
