WASHINGTON. D. c., January g.
The resolution heretofore introduced
by Mr., Allen, Pop, Nebraska), re-
lauag 10 the occupation of rooms in
the basement of the Senate wing of the
Capitol for restaurant purposes, gave
rise to an interesting debate during the
morning hour OF the session of the SEN
ate to-day. Mr.. Allen severely
criticised the practice of fur
uishing 20 the proprietors Of
the restaurant free OF cost, his furni-
ture, ice, etc., and asserted 1t was a
violation OF the statutes and constituted
larceny of ths public funds. Messrs.
Hale, (Rep., Maine,) and Manderson,
rep, Nebrasks,) replied TO the obSer-
walton OF Mr. Allen, and defended the
existing practices. No action was taken
on the resolution.
The remainder of the day was taken
up by Mr. Morgan, (Dem., Alaoama)
in a speech on the Nicaraguan Canal
bill, in which he replied in detail TO the
arguments advanced by MIR. Turple,
Dem, Indiana), In opposition to the
bill
Senator Quay to-day gave notice Of
an amendment TO the urgent deficiency
bill striking out all provisions for an
appropriation for the collection 4 the
income tax and inserting provision for
the re-enactmeEt OF
THE MKINLEY DUTY on COAL
1t may have a bearing on the Demo-
cratic tariff plans. The Senator said
when asked about his purpose In
presenting the amendment tnat it was
Intended as text for a speech. As the
part of it which provides for new
wooden schedule is not germane, he ex-
poets IL TO be ruled out. When asked
as 10 the truth Of the re-
port that be would antago-
nize the urgent deficiency bill because
of the income tax appropriation, he
said that it was his intention to oppose
II there should be an effort TO get 1t
through before the vacant seats on the
Republican side were filed, and be
pointed TO q large package OF manu-
script lying on his desk 20 show that ht
was prepared TO talk.
After Misrepresentation of Sundry res
olutionS and memorials, Sherman, from
the Committee on Foreign Affairs, re-
ported, and the Senate passed the reso'
luton heretofore introduced by Mr..
Lodge, of Massachusetts, calling on the
President for correspondence and other
papers relative to the delivery by the
United States Consul at Shanghai OF
two japanese citizens to the Chinese
authorities; also asking for Information
as to whether the
TWO JAPANESE WE'RE PUT TO DEATH
after being tortured; further, whether
there was any understanding with the
Chinese government that United States
officers should aid, assist aud give saie
conduct to any japanese citizen desir-
ing 10 leave China, etc.
