BOTH SIDES IN UGLY MOOD
The Democrats Are Rustllng tc
Secure a Quorum of Their
Own and Expectto Have
One To-Day.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-The tarih debate
did not begin in the house to-day. The
republicans showed fight at the outset and
scored the first victory. Before the time
arrived for Wilson to take the floor, Nc
Creary tried to arrange an amicable agree
ment by which two days, Friday and Sat-
urday, should be given to the considera.
tion of the Hawaiian resolution. Hit, re-
publican. leader Of the foreign affairs
committee. expressed his willingness to
acquiesce in the arrangement, but Bou-
telle wanted to precipitate the question
Immediately by calling up his resolution.
Both sides we're ugly, but after
lively row the speaker held
that Boutelle's resolution was
privileged. Tho democratic members OF
the ways and means committee were not
willing to 20 ahead with the Hawaiian dis.
cussion until the tariff debate had been
gotten well under way, however, and the
question of consideration was raised
against the Boutelle resolution. The re-
publicans then executed q flank move
ment by refusing to vote. The democrats
found themselves IN the humiliatinQ posi-
tion of not being able to muster q quorum.
After revoking all leaves of absence, vii.
son reluctantly moved an adjournment.
The democrats confidently expect a
quorum tomorrow. but the outcome of to-
days republican tactics will probably be
that the Hawaiian matter will be entirely
postponed until the tariff bill is dis
posed of.

HELENA. Jan. 3.-The young lady whose
reported marriage to Mr.. Aaron Hersch.
field was announced few days ago, is
well and favorably known in this city.
Miss Hogan held Tor long time a posi-
tion of responsibility in a leading dry
goods house, and she was popular with Its
patrons. That the announcement OF her
marriage to Mr.. 1crschicld, who is said
to be an equally interested owner with his
brother IN banking operations here, should
have occasioued surprise. is not strange
under all tho circumstances. However,
everybody assumed that Mr.. Herschfcld
was cool and deliberate in contracting the
alliance. In years. 80 is not very far
ahead Of him. and no is known as n care
ful, prudent man.
In tho ordinary run of events this rather
remarkable marriage would probably have
ceased soon to occasion comment. As it
Is. Sfr. Herscbiield has suddenly vanished,
his bride does not know where he is, he
took tho frcnchiost sort of French leave,
aud every society tongue in town is wag-
ging. II looks q little as If the bridegroom
had skipped away on an outing of his
own, and that he foolishly neglected To
leave with his bride an itinerary or a pro-
gramme Of his intentions. In view OF the
prominence Of tho people in this affair
and its somewhat sensational denouc-
ment. reporter for the STANDARD called
to-day upon Mrs. Aaron Hersh1eld at tho
Helena hotel aud received from her lips
her own account OF the matter. The Hell
