Washington, Feb. S.-The deadlock
on BANDS silver seigniorage bill was
broken after four hours continuous
hlibustering today, when, by vote
of 176 to d the House carried BANDS
motion, going into committee of the
whole for its consideration. The east
ern Democrats and the great mass Of
Republicans made a determined oppo
sition, but Bland was victorious on q
final vote Sixteen Republicans and all
the Populists voted with him, while
twenty-five Democrats joined with the
remainder of the Republicans in re-
fusing to vote
1t is thoroughly understood that
quite number Of Democrats who vot-
ed with Bland were not in favor of
certain notifications of the bill, al
though they would not carry their OPP
position to the extent of voting against
its consideTa ton. 1t is also well known
that Secretary Carlisle and the admin
istration is generally opposed TO the
bill. in its present form.
After the consideration of the bill
was begun, Carlisle arrived at the
Capitol and held conference with
several leading Democrats of the
House, as well as those Democrats who
were managing the filibuSter, and just
+ before adjournment the announce
mefts was officially made on the floor
10y Tracey that no further attempt at
1flibuster against the considera-
ton of the bill would be
made. This is taken to mean that a
compromise has been agreed on and
certain concessions will be made in
line with the suggestions of Carlisle.

provisions of the bill, but without con-

FROM A REPUBLICAN VIEW.
One Reason Why They VIII Fight
the Tariff Bill.

Washington, Feb. S.-The possible
attitude of the silver Republicans with
reference to the tariff bill has been the
theme of considerable talk about the
Senate since the Wilson bill reached
that body.
Inquiry develops the fact that they
will. without exception, oppose the bill
for two reasons. They are protection
lists in principle and some of them
think that if the tariff could be al
lowed to remain as at present it would
be in the interest of silver They ar
que that if the tariff is changed and
hard times continue many will be dis
posed to find in this change the cause
of the depression, whereas, if the tariff
is allowed to remain as it is and the
times do not improve, it will at once
become apparent that the tariff had not
caused the dizziness of trade and the
people may be led to believe it was
due to the scarcity of money. While,
however. the silver Republican sena-
tors win oppose the bill they will vote
against it and will make special efforts
to defeat the clauses bearing upon the
special interests of their respective
states, 1t is probable that some of them
will not aid their Republican collea-
CUES in securing delay upon the pas
sage of the bill

ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
How the Good Old Ship Went to
Pieces.

Pieces.
New York, Feb. S.-A Colon special
to the Herald gives the following ac-
count of the wreck of the Kearsarge on
Roncador reef.
The disaster occurred at p. m. last
Friday The Kearsarge was under
both sail and steam at the time. and
was going about ten knots when she
struck A heavy sea was running and
as the character of the Gays in these
waters was we'll known to the kear-
sarge's officers, it was evident that
safety lay in forcing her as far up on
the cay as possible, before she began
to break up.
Accordingly, she was at once light
ened up by heaving her guns over
board. One of the first to go was the
splendid old 11-inch after-pivot gun,
that did such terrible execution on the
Alabama in the famous fight in 1864.
| Next her maStS were cut away 1t
would have been madness to have at
| tempted to make a landing in such a
sea, in the intense darkness of a tropi-
cal night, and therefore there was
nothing to be done but to wait till
morning. A terrible night was passed,
the waves pounding heavily over the
stern and weather side as
the swung more ana more to her broad
lside.
On Saturday morning a line was got
ashore and all hands were finally landed
lsafe in the cay. Owing to the manner
| in which the waves had swept the
decks and filled the hold, only a little
fresh water and a small quantity OF
provisions could be saved Three boats
were got ashore, but little injured, as
there is almost no water on the reel
land about 200 men were camped there
with the trif1ing supply. One of the
Iboats was Immediately put in order

AGAINST THE WOOL SCHEDULE.
The National wooIgrowers Issue al
Address.

Washington, Feb. S.-Senator Sherman
has presented in the Senate a memoir
ial from the National Woolgrowers'
association reciting the refusal of the
finance committee to grant hearing

industry.

vention tonight after preparing an adj
dress to the woolgrowers of the coun-
try. The address urges the continu-
ance, even under the new tariff law,
of the interests of the woolgrowers in
their industry, the maintenance of

preservation OF aocks; especially the
preservation of ewes, even at a temper
airy loss, is urged in order that the
Woodworking industr,.s may promptly
recover UNDER the Subsequent laws

without material injury Two men
were slightly wounded, sufficiently so
to require being sent to the hospital
As near as can be counted the shots

THE POWER OF CONGRESS.
A Question Whether the Income Tax
Can be Enforced.

Washington, Feb. S.-The federal
Constitution provides that the compen-
sation of justices of the Supreme Court
shall not be diminished during the
terms Of Office, and that the presidents
compensa ton shall not be increased
or diminished during the term of of
fee In view of this. the question has
arisen as to the power of Congress
to make the income tax applicable to
these offices. When the war income
tax was levied in 1863, Chief Justice
fancy wrote letter to Secretary of
the Treasury Chase. declaring that
in his opinion the law was unconsti-
tutional as it impaired the indepen-
dence of the coordinate branches of
government; it was at the same time
one which could not be judicially de-
termined because every member of the
Supreme Court would be an inter-
ested party and barred from consider
ing it. After the war Secretary Rich
ardson refunded the justices the money
withheld under the tax.
