BEFORE THE SENATE.
Hawaii and the Elections Bill Dis
cussed Yesterday

Washington, Jan. 24.-The Hawaiian
question came before the Senate this
morning, and after an hours discus
sion it went over until tomorrow. The
result of the debate was to show a
division both in the Democratic and
Republican ranks and the wisdom of
adopting a resolution reported by the
foreign relations committee.
Vest objected on the ground that it
indicated the project for annexation
might be more favorably received in
the future, and Allison and other Re
publicans objected on the ground that,
according to their Interpretation of the
resolution it pledged the Senate as al
together opposing the principle of an
nexation, and as approving the policy
Iof the president in this respect. Half
a dozen amendments are now pending
to modify the phraseology and it will
likely be subjected to material changes
before its final adoption l ~-.-,
At 2 o'clock the bill repeating the
federal election laws came up as I'M
finished business.
Lodge took the floor in opposition to
the bill.
After short executive session,
Coke called up thsl Gulf, Beaumont &
Kansas City bridge BILL which called
out discussion of the presidents re-
cent veto of the New York and New
Jersey bridge bill.
The presidents action was criticised
by Vest, who said the president had
evidently overlooked the decision of the
United States supreme court affirming
the power of Congress to empower the
secretary of war to determine whether
the proposed bridge was an obstruction
to navigation, and require changes in
the plans.
After passing some minor bills, the
Senate adjourned.

Million Dollars.

Washington, Jan. 24.-The majority
report of the committee on ways and
means on the internal revenue bill, the
most important feature of which is
the income tax, was given to the pub
lie today. The committee states the
object of the bill is to supply pros
pective deficiency in the revenue. The
committee recommends an increase of
the tax on cigarettes and whisky, on
playing cards and on incomes. A new
feature of the report is the portion
which deals with increasing the whisky
tax. This was written by Montgom-
cry, OemocraD, of Kentucky. 1t pro-
vides for an additional tax of 10 cents
a gallon on all distilled spirits; 10 cents
per gallon will be levied upon all liquor
now in bonded warehouses, as well
as liquor that may be produced at dis
tilleries in the future. The bonded
period is limited to eight years. The
estimated increase will yield $4,000, 600
additional revenue

THE INCOME TAX BILL.
1t Took a Big Struggle Before
Was Reported.

Washington, Jan. 24.-The success of
the income tax men in finally getting
the bill out of the committee was
reached after sharp contest At first
the Republicans refused to vote, three
emocrats-Cockran, Stevens and
Bynum-also refused to vote. This
broke the quorum and the income tax
men were powerless.
Then Reed came to the rescue and
said if another roll call were taken,
the Republicans would vote to make a
quorum, but not to favor the report.
The roll call gave Is votes, or 4 more
than quorum.
Cochran and Stevens still refused to
vote, but quorum was made without
them.
Then the motion was put on report
ing the bill to the House. This pre-
vailed by the following vote. Ayes
Wilson, Mcmillan, Bynum, Whiting,
breckenridge Tarsney, Montgomery,
Bryan, Turner'S, all Democrats.
Nays-Rsed, Burrows, Payne, Dalzell,
Hopkins, Republican,, Cochran and
Stevens, Oemocrats). Total, 7. A
noticeable feature of the vote was the
action of Wilson, Breckenridge and
Bynum in voting to report the bill.

ell has seen a great light and Attor-
ney-General Lamar, this evening, re-
.ceived a telegram from him to the
effect that martial law would not be
declared. This has been the prevalent
opinion, but for fear the governor
might not stand by his declaration,
several members of the city council
held a quiet conference this evening
and after thoroughly canvassing the
situation decided that Governor Mitch
ell would not be allowed to usurp the
police functions of the city without a
reason They argued in view of today S
decision there was no warrant for the
governor to proceed further, and that
the only action he could properly take
now would be to send the troops
home.
1t was decided to have a call issued
in a regular manner for special ses-
sion of the entire city council at an
early hour tomorrow to consider the
extraordinary situation.

rest assured, now that the Judge had
spoken, that the authorities of the
city would see to it the guests of the
city were properly protected in case
they go to see the exhibition which
has been licensed in accord with the
law.
He added that if Governor Mitchell
took any further arbitrary steps fun
might be looked for
Governor Mitchell might have had a
quiet tip on this meeting, and this may
have had its effect, as well as the de-
cision of the judge. OF course, his
change of mind will probably result in
little being done at the special meet
ing tomorrow, but the conference this
evening shows the Jacksonville people
were thoroughly in earnest in their
stand. Adjutant-General Houston.

Wilson moved the committee rise and
the motion was agreed to. Crisp re-
suming the chair
McAfillin, holding the internal rev.
enue bill containing the income tax
feature above his head, was loudly
clamoring for recognition, while the
opponents of the income tax, including
Cochran, Tracey, Cummings, Lock
wood and others, of the New York dele
cation We're as earnestly appealing for
the speakers eye.
Above the din and confusion McMil-
lin demanded recognition to present
privileged report.
The opponents of the income tax
wanted to adjourn, and the speaker
was forced to recognize Lockwood to
make that motion. The Republicans,
with the Democrats favoring the in
come tax voted against the proposition
to adjourn and the opponents of the
income tax were hopelessly beaten. If
they could hold the fort, however, for
only three minutes, the house, under
the special order would have to recess
at $50.
Quickly, Cochran demanded a divis-

rose for and against the motion, an

more arrow in their culver. Cochran
demanded the yeas and nays. He could
only muster fifteen supporters, however
not sufficient to secure the roll call
Then the speaker made the announce
ment that it lacked twenty seconds of
the time for the house to recess.
In that time, amid a roar of applause

Washington, Jan. 24-[Special 1.-The
Senate territories committee did moth
ing at today's meeting with the Utah
bill. The delay is due largely to the
fact that the senators think there is
plenty of time to act on the issue and
they are gathering information on all
territories seeking admission.
1t is learned, also, that considera BILE
pressure has been brought to bear on
the committee to delay action until
all parties can be heard
Mr.. Rawlins talked today with a
number of senators and he is doing all
he can to secure an early report on the

will certainly get down to work
shortly.

Buenos Ayres, Jan. 24-Dispatches
from Rio de Janeiro say the insurgents
are running short of provisions and
that this is one of the reasons which
led Admiral Da Cana. as exclusively

into negotiations with Admiral Ben

a settlement of the dispute between
the government and the Insurgents. 1t
is believed here that there will be no
further fighting at Rio and that the
