Vote Was 2O4 to l4O.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2-The Wilson bill,
with the income and other internal taxes
IN 1t, passed the house last evening by q
vote of 2O4 to l40, amid great enthusiasm.
| The bill goes today TO the senate, where
| IL will be referred 10 the finance commit
tee, which is preparing to give 1t a
thorough overhauling, with a view TO
proposing possible amendments.
The events leading up to 1t were almost
unparalleled in our annals. At II o'clock,
after preliminary skirmish of an houi
over the barley schedule, the bill was re-
ported TO the house. and the closing
speeches were made. Such a vast con.
course of people as Assem- bled had never
been before seen within the precincts OF
the nations legislative Capitol.
For hours before the debate began the
corridors leading to the galleries were
surging mass Of humanity, which finall y
became 40 great that men cried out In
terror and women tainted in fright. IL
was estimated that over 20 600 attempted
to gain admittance to the galleries. Their
seating capacity Is about 5000.
When Mr.. Reed arose at last TO deliver
the final plea for protection every inch OF
space upon the floor was taken. IL was "A
brilliant as well as large assembly.
Only 10 Of the 554 mem bers of the house
were absent. In the galleries were Mrs.
Cleveland, Mrs Vice President Stevenson
and other well-known ladies. For three
hours the oratory Of the champions of
the two economic systems followed
II
partisans made the air vocal with shouts
OF approval.
When IL came TO voting, the victory for
the measure was overwhelming. The
vote upon the income tax pro position,
taken in connection with the internal
revenue amendment, stood ls2 to 80.
Only ~ Republicans voted upon this D.
position; seven for and five against The
Democratic opposition amounted to 45.
The vote upon the final passage of the
bill was surprise. Amid the most in-
tense enthusiasm, Democrat after Demo.
erat who had been counted upon TO vote
against the measure, recorded their votes
in the Affirmative. Only II Democrats
stood out to the end and voted again st it.

and impressively, and was in defense of
