WASHINGTON, D. C., June 29.-Wheu
the tariff will was laid before the Sen
Gts Mr. KYLE took the floor and made
an argument In favor Of the income tax,
dwelling on the decline in farm values
in the West aud the gradual cOncentra-
ZION of wealth in the hands OF the few.
While Mr.. Kyle was speaking Senator
Cau. of florida, rather shocked
snsctators in the gallery by
. remoyag his shoes and elevatlug
a large pair OF biue stOckipged feet 10 a
neighboring desk. He gently agitated
the superheated atmosphere aud seemed
10 have succeeded To- making himself
comfortable. Mr.. Vest offered four ad-
dit.onal amendments 10 the income tax
. sections. The most important was one
% reduce the exemption from $4,000 TO
$4,000: another exempted from the
operation OF the tax building and loan
associations; another provides that In
reckoning profits OF corporations
operating expenses, losses and interest
on fixed indebtedness shall be
excluded; and another eXempung
mutual life insurance com paules.
Mr.. Teller supported the Income tax
proposition Mr.. sherman followed 10
opposition. Mr.. Allen repelled the idea
covertly or openly advanced oy the op-
moments OF the income tax that the
Populists had no regard for property.
Ii was Is o'clock when Mr.. Hill, who
desired 10 reply 60 some OF the remarks
made to-day, asked Mr.. Harris 20 yield
10 an adiournmedt as the Senate had
-6een sitting eight hours at a tempera-
ture 10 the cham Der Of IS.
Mr.. Harris said that he regretted that
be could not comply with the request.
LET Senators proceed now-let them
exhibit their learning and their rhet-
oric, he said bitterly. 81 will not
move TO adjourn as long as l can hold a
quorum here, said be, ''Or as long as
,tdere Is any means of obtaining a
Iuorum. Let US stay here he said,
i'm a wave OF his hand.
NErr-HlI called attention % the fact
ttat this was the first time this privI-
lrze had been refused. II think II
cruel, unjust aud unworthy Of the Sen
ator from Tennessee that he should
seek 10 crowd me tonight, when l de-
sire 20 reply TO arguments made
OO-day."
81 accept the responsibility most
cheerfuIy," shouted Mr. Harris, IN q
dIsgusted tone.
81 will make the Senator accept other
respoDsfbuitv," ," said Mr.. Hill, his ewes
flashing. The New York Senator was
evidently thoroughly aroused.
Proceed, " calculated Mr.. Harris
without rising from his seat
"I will not be ordered by you, said
Mr.. Hill, turning upon the Senator
from Tennessee ierCe.y. 81 will have
none Of your plantation manners e1-
hibItad toward me.
Neither do j care for an exhibition
Of the manners Of the Slums OF New
WorS. " retorted Mr.. Harris hOtiy, ris-
ing to his feet.
They are better than those Of the
plantations Of Tennessee, - said Mr.. Hill
Mr.. Harris made no reply, and Mr.
Hin proceeded 10 call attention TO the
fact that he was 10 no way responsible
for the delay. Mr.. Hill was proceeding
10 discuss tie question of changing the
rules when Mr.. Harris, realizing that he
could not force the New York Senator
against bis will, manOeuyred so that a
vote was had uUon an important verbal
amendment and this disclosing the alb
seuce OF quorum, he moved an ad-
fourumeut. In doing so he gave notice
that tomorrow he should ask the Sen
ate % situutil the tariff 0iII was finally
completed 10. the committee of the
whole and reported 20 the Senate.
Then at 7:l0 the Senate adjourned.
