Yesterdays Session of the Senate.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-After half an
hour devoted to the presentation OF
memorials and petitions, principally re
lating to the tariff legislation. the
Hawaiian resolutions were laid before
the Senate. But they were laid aside
in order that Allen Pop Neb nigh t
address the Senate on rosolu ton
offered by him last Thursday declaring
that tho Secretary Of the Treasury is
not clothed, under the existing law,
with any legal authority to issue and
sell bonds; and that any such bonds,
when issued, would be null and void.
Allen read a prepared speech in sup
port Of his resolution. No action was
taken on Aliens resolution, which still
lies on the table.
resolution was offered by Voorhees,
and agreed to appointing Mills as a
member of the committee on finance
during the absence Of Mcpherson. The
House bill to repeal the Federal cleo
ton laws was then taken up and Chan
dler resumed his argument, begun
some days ago, against it.
The bill went over without action,
and the business Of the Senate WAS lat 3
p. M suspended in order that fitting
tributes might DO paid to the memory OF
the late Representative Chapman, OF
Michigan. At $50 the Senate adjourned
until tomorrow

THE DAY IN CONGRESS.
The Time In tho House Absorbed b,

The Time In tho House Absorbed by
Democratic Filibustering.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-No time was
lost by the Democrats of New York in
inaugurating filibustering proceedings
against the income tax bill in the House
this mo, ming. Immediately after the
reading OF Yesterdays journal Cochran
suggested The absence of quorum and
the Speaker ordered the roll call.
hayes was the only one of the New
YORK Democrats who answered to his
name. The call showed the presence
OF 2o2 members, thirteen more than
quorum. At 1885 the House went into
compittee OF the whole to consider the
tariff bill and Richardson (Tenn.) took
the chair.
Even after the House went into COM
mlttee Oh the whole Cochran continued
to nile against the income tax bill, and
tried to block every move made by the
majority. Wilson Nv. Va.) asked
unanimous consent that all debate on
the pending schedule should close in
twenty minutes, and when objection was
made he made motion to the same
effect.
T.nu amendment was carried by viva
voce vote, when Cochran began his
obstruetionist tactics By making a call
FOR tellers. Several minor amendments
to the tariff bill were passed, the New
YORK Democrats on each vote seeking
to delay the proceedings by demanding
tellers.
Wilson, chairman of the ways and
means committee, offered several amend
ments, which were agreed to without
debate. One was to take crude opium
from the free list and impose tax Of 81
per pound. Another was making a
change in the phrase Of the button
schedule.
Breckenridge ARK offered an amend
ment changing the phrases OF the sec.
zion referring to colors and dyes and as
1t met with the approval Of Wilson the
amendment was adopted.
Wilson offered an amendment specific
ally repeating the reciprocity clause
OF the Mckinley law
The amendment was agreed to. An
amendment was then offered to the oil
schedule striking out the reciprocity
feature, which also was agreed to.
Just before this last vote was taken,
Sickles (Dem., N. " took the floor,
and delivered an earnest plea against
tho proposed income tax.
AT twenty minutes befor, five the
House took recess until o'clock this
evening. The House presented its
usual top heavy appearance tonight
with it's crowded galleries and almost
deserted floor.

POISONED HER OLD LOVER.
Discovered Crime of Pretty Young
White Woman Of Richmond.

Discovered Crime of Pretty Young
White Woman Of Richmond
RICHMOND, Va, Jan. Elizabeth
Walters, rather pretty young white
woman, was arrested just before mid
night last night charged with the MUIR
der of Solomon Benjamin Jenkins, who
died in the country in q mysterious way
on tho 18th instant.
Jenkins life was insured for S. 900.
The company's agent was the first to,
suspect foul play, and set an investiga-
ton on foot. The remains were exr
humed and an analysis showed that
poison had been administered. 1t has
developed that the drug was given jan
uary 10, and that jealousy was the
cause.
The Walters woman is said to have
been very much in love with Jenkins,
who had been intimately associated
with her, but became engaged to an
other. A young man named Larry was
also arrested as witness in the crime.

men then retired to their corners again
and began stripping for the fray. While
this was going on Billy Madden stepped
into the center of the ring and address,
ing Mitchell said that he was pleased to
hand over to him the $1,000 which he
held as wager made by Brady that the
Englishman would never appear in the
ring to fight Corbets in Jacksonville.
Mitchell took the crisp bills, nodding
his head satisfactorily and tucked them
away in his trousers pocket without
counting them. Then he passed the
trousers over to one of his attendants
and advanced from his corner. He wore
short-legged brown stockings, thin
black shoes and pair of dark blue
trunks.
Otherwise he was as naked as whom
he came into the world. His skin
looked tough and bronzed, and his
limbs and muscles tough and wiry.
Hes as hard and as tough as black
smith," was the comment of an old
sport who sat behind tho press benches,
land he looks as il he could hit as hard
blow and take good many hard ones,
too, without minding it,"
Corbett threw off his robe, and his
men fixed the green and white colors
about his waist. He was dressed about
as Mitchell was, but the contrast be-
tween the two fighters was very marked
and In Corbett's favor. His skin was
whittier, to be sure, but he looked 80
much bigger and go much more power
full that 1t made those who had money
upon Mitchell lose heart at once. He
looked like thoroughbred, and there
were many EXPLANATIONS of admiration
at his condition.
1t was the pink OF perfection His
muscles showed out in Fold relief, long
and graceful, In vivid contract to the
muscles OF the Englishman, which were
piled on him in lunches like knotted
rope. Experts say that the knotted
muscles denote strength and that the
long ones denote quickness. They told
the tale thoroughly. Corbett's every
movement was like that OF the quick,
easy, agile panther. The man was the
very embodiment OF grace. A clean.
healthy light shone in his eyes, which
took in like flash the whole surround
ings.
Chief OF Police IIeefe now appeared
at the ring side on the west and weighed
the gloves with which each msn had
been furnished. They we're found to
be correct as to tho five ounce minimum
weight permitted by the city ordinance
and the chief waved his hand as
token of his assent to the contest

Some encouraging news relative to
