Washington, Jan. Spy a vote of
81 to 90 the democratic house caucus
has voted to endorse the Carlisle sub
sutute currency bill now before the
house. Speaker Crisp took the lead in
pres ing the resolution ana in it
vigorously urging the necessity OF its
adoption. The committee on rules was
instructed to bring in a rule today to
close debate. Efforts to amend Crisp's
resolution We're voted down, one of
the adverse votes showing only thir-
teen members of the caucus favorable
to the issue of bonds to retire green
backs.
The result Of the caucus is accepted
with considerable apprehension by
friends of the bill, Notwithstanding
the passage of the resolution of en-
dorsement. The eighty-one votes
which the measure commanded in tne
caucus is far short of the number
Eect Ssary to pass it in the house.
1t Is the belief, however, that many
OF the 90 votes recorded against the
resolution will be changed now that
the Carlisle bill has the prestige of
caucus endorsement. But there We're
several prominent leaders who assert
ed at the close of the caucus that the
vote showed conclusively that the bill
could not pass.

Washington, Jan. S.-The senate
committee on public lands favorably
reported Congressman Lynchs bill,
| recommended by Secretary Smith, for
| the relief of homestead settlers ON
timber lands in Wisconsin, Minnesota
and Michigan who suffered loss by
reason of the severe forest fires of the
past autumn. The bill has already
passed the house.
In the absence from the city of the
vice president and President Pro tenn
| Harris, William |. Cox, the secretary
of the senate, called the body to or
! der.
Mr.. German offered a resolution
nominating Mr.. Ransom, democrat, Of
| North Carolina, as president pro tenn
of the senate. This was agreed to and
the oath of office was administered by
Senator Morrill,
| In taking the chair Mr.. RANSOM
| briefly thanked the senate for it's eX-
| preston of confidence. 1t was due to
| himself to say that on the return of
| the distinguished senator from Ten
neSSee, Mr.. Harris, who has been elect
ed president pro tenn. of the senate he
should asked to be relieved from the
position and that the senator who had
discharged the duty with so much
ability and satisfaction to the senate
and the country should be returned to-
the place.
Mr.. Lodge, of Massachusetts
moved that the senate proceed to the
| consideration Of the resolution calling
on the secretary of the navy for in
/ formation as to why the United States
ships have been withdrawn from the
Hawaiian islands. 1t was carried, 33
TO y; many democrats voting to take
it up who would vote against ii ON it's
i final passage. AT the suggestion of "a
senator the resolution has been modt-
| fed from when it Was previously up,
| for consideration so as to request the
| information desired from the presi~
dent. if not incompatible, with public,
| interests, instead of from the secre
! tary of the navy. The resolution will
! be taken up today when it will be
| further debated.
Mr. PETER then submitted remarks
on the service pension law for the
! benefit of soldiers and sailors in the
late war. Mr. Mitchell. republican. If

! the Nicaraguan canal bill Me-
Mitchell took up each of the objections
raised bv Mr.. Turpie and reviewed
| and answered them at length He
then passed on to the importance of
the canal to his own state and to the
| Pacific Goats. Mr. Mitchell con-
Guided with an earnest appeal for i'm
mediate and favorable action on the
bill. The chair then laid before the
senate a letter from the secretary Of
state, saying that Mr.. J. W. Foster in
assisting China in the peace negotia-
tions with Japan sustains no official
or other relations to the United States.
The motion of Mr. Palmer a resoIu-
tion expressing the deep sensibility Of

Whatever may be ones indi-

those who have watched its

st move is several points ahead
of anything it has yet done in
that line. 1t is almost certain to

ply to it's request for modifica-

A Kansas editor and rich
widow were engaged to be mar
ried, when the neighbors began
to talk about it, charging that he
was marrying her for her riches.
The young editor was vexed at
this, of course, and he persuad-
ed his affinity to turn all her
worldly goods over to grown
daughter, and that would prove
to the world the sincerity of his
affection. The trusting widow
did so, and the very first night
the editor and girl eloped, and in
the morning the widow pied the
forms in the Office and would
have pied the editor if she had

The following is the joint
memorial introduced in the house
by Mccarthy and in the senate
by Heitfeld:
ITO the Honorable the Senate
and House of Representatives, in
congress assembled, and to his
Excellency, the President of the
United States:
"Your memorialists, members
of the legislature of the State of
Idaho, most earnestly pray for
the passage by the present con-
gress of a law for the free and
unlimited coinage of silver, as it
existed prior to its demonetiza-
ton in 1873, viz: on the basis of
sixteen parts of silver to one
part of gold by weight.
1--WE also earnestly protest
against the passage of the bill
now pending in the house of rep
resentatives known as the Carl
isle bill.
I'VE believe in the constitu-
tional money of the country, viz;
gold and silver. We also believe
that to save the industrial mass.
es from financial ruin the volume
of money must be increased, by
the free coinage of both silver
and gold, supplemented by q
sufficient amount of legal tender
paper to restore prices to a basis
of profit.
1--WE also believe that as il
takes all of the money in circu
lation to carry on the business Of
the country, every dollar per
mitted to circulate as money
whether of gold, silver or paper
should be of full legal tender il
payment of all public and private
debts, and that no creditor should
be allowed by contract to de
stroy the legal tender quality O.
any dollar authorized to circulate
by law.
eve therefore pray thatspeedy
relief may be given to greatly
distressed people by the adopt
ion of a financial system which
shall embody, among othe,
things, the suggestions in thi
memorial.
"And your memorialists will
. ever pray"

since the administration curren-
cy bill was prematurely killed in
the House. Scores of financial
bills have been prepared by SEN
ators and representatives, but
most of them have no supporters
outside of their authors. There
is much talk of q compromise
measure which is to be support
ed by the administration Demo
Gratis and Republicans; also that
Secretary Carlisle is to prepare
another currency bill so drawn
as to gain the support of the sill
yer men, who claim the credit of
defeating the other currency bill
prepared by him; but up to this
time it is all talk; there is moth
ing tangible in sight, either to
support or to oppose, and nine
out of every Ten members of con-
gress Intercepted will frankly
admit their belief that no finan
cial legislation is possible at the
present session. Senator Teller
voiced the opinion of large ma
jority of congress when he said !:
'There are about six weeks re-
naming to this congress. Now
does any person seriously believe
that q revision of this vast cur
rency system be accomplished in
that time ? Why, then, are con-
gress and the country stirred up
by these frantic appeals from the
Treasury ?"
1t may not be true, as has been
alleged. that Senators Hill and
Quay have entered into a con-
spiracy to defeat the appropria-
ton to put the income tax into
operation, but the actions of
those two senators since the
urgency appropriation bill, which
contains that appropriation, has
been before the senate, indicates
a lack of thought on the subject
by them. According to those
who ought to know, the defeat
of this appropriation will not
prevent the collection of the tax;
it will merely make it more diff
cult.
Speaking of the income tax
Senator Teller, in replying to {
speech of Senator Hill agains
it, gave some information no
generally remembered concern
ing it's constitutionality, which
Senator Hill had attacked. HI,
recalled the fact that 100 year
ago the Supreme Court of tn
United States had laid down
rule which governed the case. o
an income tax, and that that rul
had been followed up to 1873
without any break; that the Su
preme Court had declared i
1880 that the income tax wa
constitutional, and had define
what is a direct tax and what i
not q direct tax in language S
plain that there could be no mis-
take about it, Notwithstanding
learned articles to the contrar
now being printed in the news
papers.
Those interested in other legis
lation are becoming alarmed o
account of the financial muddl
in congress. The outlook fo
general legislation is certainl
not encouraging, as the regula
appropriation bills, which Away
have the right of way, are alon
ways from being disposed O.
Even the wealthy railroad lobby
which is here in the interest {
pooling bill, is getting uneasy, "a
though the bill has passed tn
house and is certain to be favo.

The proposition to have COZ
