dragged, and the doubt arose as to which

hility that the murderer would escape

tsrestlng Debate in
Prospect

BY the Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-The second hall
OF the session of the house promises to
witness q fierce struggle over the income
tax in connection with the appropria-
tion to be incorporated in the urgency
deficiency bill to provide for the collec-
tion of the tax, which begins January l,
1895.
Mr.. Sayers, chairman of the appro-
priations committee, intends to call up
the bill on Tuesday. after the railroad
pooling bill is disposed of. Mr.. Bart
lett, of New York, is at the head of the
opposition TO the appropriation. and al
though the opposition is not considered
strong enough to defeat the appropria-
tion, it is expected that the debate will
abound with acrimonious refere nces to
the late election, and that much bad
blood will be manifested. The consid-
Grafton of the income ta1 appropriation
may consume several daye.
Tomorrow is District of Columbia day,
and Tuesday the fate OF the pooling bill
will be decided, as Mr.. Patterson OF Ten
neseee, in charge OF the measure, has
given notice that on O'Clock on that
day he will demand the previous ques-
tion. The general opinion is that the
bill will not pasa as reported, but will
probably carry when amended 80 as to

Armenia. The dispatch adds that the
sultan appears to fear the result OF an
independent report to the Washington
government.
Sir Philip Ourrie, the British ambas-
sador to Turkey. it in very active COM
munication with the porte and foreign
embassies. It Is believed. with good
reason, that he is pressing the porte to
accept some measure that will satisfy
the outraged public opinion of Europe.
The porte is completely alive to the
gravity of the situation and seems to
fear either q collective note from the
powers or an agreement between Russia
and Great Britain for Russian occupa-
tion of Armenia.
VIENNA, Dec. 9.-Trustworthy Con-
stantinople sdvices here show that the
Turkish minister OF justice invited Hy-
mayax, locum tenens OF the Armenian
patriarchate, to petition the sultan to
pardon 233 Armenians who are lying in
provincial prisons. No reply has been
received to the invitation yet, and it is
likely to be declined.

Chronicle from Rome says Italy is in
full agreement with Great Britain and
is ready to consent to European inter-
vention in Armenia.
