Washington, jan. 4.---The tariff

as was anticipated. The Repuhio.a

scored the first victory. Before tia ~ ~
arrived for Mr.. Wilson to tak .s w y

OF. the foreign. affairs COMMITTEES =
pressed q willingness to acquiesce IN y
arrangement, but Mr.. Boutelle Of M.;a
wanted to precipitate the question t.
mediately by calling UP his resoln,; :.
Both sides were ugly, but after a li,%
row the speaker held that Mr.. Bontclls
resolution was privileged. The Dem.
cratic members on the ways and mesn
committee were not willing to 70 oho.
with the Hawaiian discussion until ~
tariff debate had been gotten well nnss
way, however, and the question of co,I
sideration was raised against the Bm,tsnl
resolution. The Republicans then s,s
cuted q flank movement by refusing \
vote. The Democrats found themselvs
in the humiliating position of not hein1
able to muster quorum. They wp,
in check, and after revoking all leavs
of absence Mr.. Wilson reluctantly movs1
an adjournment. The Democrats cons]
IDENTIFY expect quorum to-day, but I'M
outcome of yesterdays Republican tactic
will probably be that the Hawaiian matl
ter will be entirely postponed until afcl
the tariff bill is disposed Of.

claring it to be the sense Of the spl
ate that the administra ton should po1
commit an overt act of interference h
Hawaii pending the investigation Of The
imbroglio by the senate committee OF

resolution is TO declare the sense of The
senate adverse to any American inter
ference either direct or indirect should
any coup d'etat be resorted to for The
purpose of restoring the queen to tht
throne. The senator asked that the reso
luton lie upon the table for the present
and it is expected that he will make il
the subject of some pertinent remark,
before asking it's reference to the com
mittee on foreign affairs.

A certain buxom widow, who lives
on Claiborne street, has been having
a gay time for few weeks trying to
resist the attentions of two genial wild.
overs whose rivalry has reached u
dangerous point. A few nights ago
one Of them-the red headed one.
armed himself with some stick candy
and called upon the handsome object
OF HIS affections. After the tryst Sas
over and the captain had started
for home, in the blindness OF his love,
he suddenly found himself gasping
for breath in the bottom of q G eat
ditch, which the colonel, his rival, who
carries his Eyeglasses behind his ear,
had caused to be dug around the
house while the tete-a-tete was going
on inside. Such desperation as this
is going to kill somebody, if the wom-
an don't hurry and decide which Of
the two she prefers.
The captain finally recovered him
self sufficiently to drag himself from
the most aud make his way TO
the hotel. He was seriously injured
he lost half plug OF tobacco, and de
clares that he will dynamite the house
the next time he catches the colonel
there.

Hit Him with q Rock.

was returning from preaching at the
Baptist church on Main street, some
unprincipled scoundrel jumped out
from behind a building near the cor
ner Of Main and Spring streets and
dealt him a terrible blow above the
left eve which almost killed him. Will
thinks it was struck with the fist, but
the wound would indicate that the
assailant held a rock in his hand.
Davis is a poor half-witted, harmless
boy, and the assault was purely
vicious and unproyoked, There is no
punishment scarcely adequate for
such wanton cussedness, and the au-

The Temperance Ouarlette.

The Quartette of the American Tenn.
perance University, of Hartman,
Tenn made its appearance at the
opera house. Monday night. Every
seat IN the houseewas taken, and the
entertainment was first class in every
particular.

troduced the singers and their illus
trious manager, DR.. j. F. Spence,
chancellor Of the university. Mr.. Tay.
lor ia an old protege Of DR., Spence,
having been his pupil while the latter
was president of the college at Ath.
ems, and they talked of each other
with freedom and grace that was re.
freshing to the audience.
The members of the quartette are
Prof. ]. A. Hicks, Gus Neblett, Chas.
H. Hicks and Carroll Avis.
They all possess good voices. Prof.
Eicks, the director, is one OF the finest
so,oists in the South. Their voices
were sweet and showed wonderful
talent and careful training.
1t was an evening of song-patriotic,
sacred, temperance, secular and hui
morous. DIR. Spence made short talks
between the songs. His remarks
were along the line of temperance,
and were logical. brilliant and pun
gent. He was appiauded frequently.
The audience, which was composed
OF the best people Of johnson City,
applauded freely and were highly
pleased.
The songs were good, both in senti-
ment and rendition. Prof. Hicks
solos were encored SO heartily. that he
was compelled to come before the foot
lights the second time.
a collectlon was taken near the
close OF the entertainment and the
good people responded cheerfully to
the extent of their means.
DR.. Spence distributes the cata-
logues and literature of the university
and makes splendid showing for his
school. Two hundred and fifty were
enrolled last year-ten graduates
and the number will probably be
doubled the coming term. 1t is a
