RULES FOR DEBATE.

Washington, Jan. 3.-The general mon
etary lines upon which the currency de-
bate is to proceed in the house and
brought to a close is practically settled.
No rule has yet been framed by the COM
mittee on rules, but it is probable that
such rule will be introduced on Satur-
day. 1t will fix the limits of the 5-min-
ute debate and time for the final vote.
While no exact time has been fixed, it is
the opinion of Mr.. Springer and others d.
rectlng the course of the bill that We'd
nesday, January 8, at noon, will be the
best time. In the meantime a caucus
undoubtedly will be held.
MIR. Springer thinks the caucus will be
held Saturday or Monday night. In that
event the bill will not be pressed until
the caucus has shown desires of the ma
lority. One or more substitutes to the
Springer bill will be introduced tomorrow,
and their introduction will be followed
by an attempt either in caucus or in the
house to have them adopted as the Dem
ocratic measure. Il -
A prominent Democrat of the house,
who talked with Secretary Carlisle yes
terday, says that the secretary is op-
posed to have his bill, of which Mr..
Springer is the director, abandoned. He
the belief that the bill could
pass in the house, and the president is
said to not have given up hope either.
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1895-01-10

that the canvass shows a total of 124
votes for the bill, or considerably short
of the number necessary to pass it. Chair
man Springer says that such canvass
as has been made is informal and in
exact. He will give no figures, as he
says the purpose has not been to learn
who will vote for the bill, but who are
against, in order that the objections may
be met, and if possible overcome. Other
members interested in the management of
the bill profess to know nothing of the
exact canvass. 1t is undoubtedly true,
however, that pretty close count has
been made with the result just stated.
There are so many propositions, substi-
tutes and amendments pending that it
is probable any canvas will fail to show
the vote under the many varying circum-
stances which may be presented. The
wide margin for difference on q canvass
is indicated by the estimates of a mem
Der based on q canvass of state delega-
tons that the bill would pass by ma
jority of 20. 1t is also pointed out that
the vote of 124, while short of a ma
lority when the full membership of the
house is present, is a reasonably strong
vote when many members are absent.

A MISLEADING ASSERTION.

Washington, Jan. 5.-The attention of
DIR. Salmon, chief of the bureau of ami
NAL industry of the United States de-
partment of Agriculture, was called to-
today to paragraph in an interview with
Nelson Morris of Chicago, in which Mr..
Morris is reported to have said
that cattlemen know there is no pleuro-
pneumonia to speak of in this country.
eff Mr.. Morris said," said DR.. Salmon,
"the words attributed to him in that in
terview cannot but suppose that it was
through inadvertance of expression, and
was not calculated to mislead. In view
of the readiness of the enemies of our
live stock export trade to excite prejudice
against the sanitary condition of our cat
tle, the statement is liable, / fear, to
seriously injure our live stock interests
abroad. No one ought to be better salts
fed than Mr.. Morris and the cattlemen,
to whom he refers, that there has not
been a single case of pleuro- pneumonia in
the United States for nearly three years.
Either Mr.. Morris has been misquoted,
or, as l have said, may have used the
expression attributed to him through in
advertance, but it is inadvertance of a
kind that might prove costly to our cattle
interests" .. -,t

LYNCHED THE ROBBER

jackson, Miss, Jan. 7.-Spencer Cos
tello; a negro burglar and desperate. was
lynched this morning near Flora. 30
mics west OF here. Last Saturday night
he entered the store Of 10. ri Green M
Green's Crossing, and asked to see some
articles. While the clerk, young man
named Dawes, was showing him the
same, Costello dealt him a terrific blow
on the head with q Ratchet. Costello
then robbed Dawes pockets of $500
the. drawer Of $500, and left the store
believing Dawes dead. Later Dawes re-
covered sufficiently to crawl to neigh
boris house nearby and tell what had
happened. Costello had left and a posse
ut once started after him. He was cap
l,fred at Pocahontas, within a few miles
OF the scene of his crime. A watch was
put over him, but he escaped and was
again captured today near Flora, and
hanged by the Infatuated friends of
Dawes. Costello was an ex-convict and
had been guilty of numerous robberies.
There is no hope of Dawes recovery.

AN OID.TIME HORSE RACE.

In an old newspaper bought at the
Thorndyke Rice sale is the first record of
horse racing in New England. The paper
is the Sentinel and Massachusetts FEEDER
alist of August %, 1901, of which Ben
jamin Russell, ''printer of the laws Of the
Union" was the publisher. The article
was headed Sporting" The race was
announced as "a holiday for the indus
trious laborer," says the New York Com
mercial Advertiser. 1t was to take place
on the farm of Joel Herman, near Hayer-
hill bridge The purse to be run for was
$50; entrance money, So; distance, around
the course, one mile. There was stage
erected in one corner of the grounds for
the ladies, and boxes were hung on swiv-
els at each corner of the stage large
enough to accommodate lady and gen.
tleman. The article goes on to say: This
piece of amusement, though very novel
in this part of the country, has long been
practiced in Europe and the Southern
states. Our justly esteemed and greatly
admired Washington made it rule to
enter for the heats one or more horses
every year, and oftentimes made the
purses himself, and always attended in
person when he could make it convenient,
and frequently invited ladies and gentle
men of the first families in order to en-
courage the breeding of horses"

ANOTHER FINANCIAL SCHEME

Washington, Jan. 2.-Chairman Spring
err Of the banking and currency committee
has received the following letter from
ex-senator Farwell of Illinois:
Hon. William Springer, Washington, ID.
c.: -, oo,,
Dear Sir-I have yours of the 18th,
did not expect you would publish either
of the letters which you acknowledged
receipt of, but you can do so if you wish.
wish to say to you now, what possibly
| have said before, that there is just one
thing to do to settle this whole financial
muddle we seem to be in, and they are
the following three propositions:
First-Let the government fund its
floating debt and refund it's bonded debt
in 2 per cent 50-year bonds, and retire
from the currency business altogether.
Second-Allow the national banks to
use these bonds at par as a basis for
their circulation, exempting them from
ali federal taxation except just enough
TO nay for printing their notes.
Third-Repeal the sub-treasury act
and let the revenues of the nation be de-
nosited in the national banks for collec-
ton. .. r.
the next six years, but will hnally adopt
the above propositions as they are the on,
" ones that will accomplish the desired
end. (Signed) Yours Very Truly,

INCOME TAX RLANKS

Washington, Jan. 3.-Commissioner
Miller of the internal revenue bureau will
tomorrow begin sending taxpayers re-
turn blanks for assessment of the inter
nal revenue income tax under the act
of August 2S, 1894. These blanks will
be sent to the collectors of internal reve-
nue. throughout the country and by them
will be distributed to the taxpayers.
There are 63 collectors, and it is the in
tention to send out as rapidly as printed
about 100000 copies, although it is not
expected that this number will be actu-
ally resuired in making returns. The
record of the treasury shows that the az
gregate of all receipts from income taxes
when the last act was repealed, was
1898 1898 ,331 ,293, which is divided as follows:
Personal, 1924, 190,9S3; corporations,
SOS, 25O,5Q; non-residents, $437, 1916;
special, $452, $50.

WILL NOT RETALIATE.

Vienna, Jan. 5.-The United States
consul, Mr.. Max Judd, in an interview
today said that the Austrian minister at
Washington, Baron Won Henglemuller, de
Hengervar had undoubtedly been asked
to enter protest at Washington against
the paragraph of the sugar scale of the
tariff act which imposed an additional
duty of one-tenth of a cent per pound on
sugar coming to the United States from
countries which pay a bounty on the pro
duction of sugar. But" he added, AL
talk of reprisals is absurd" Continuing
Mr.. Jud remarked: Il am more than
satisfied that Austria is not in posi-
ton to adopt retaliatory measures: The
yearly exports of Austria to the United
States amounts to $S.000,000, of which
$3,3O6,000 is sugar. The United States
exports to Austria amount to only $500
O0O, consequently it is absurd to TAX
about Austrian retaliation. Under this
new tariff Austria cannot make any fur

the sugar producers" providing for the
payment of bounty on the present years
crop of one cent hundred on sugar test
ing 80 degrees by polariscope, and of

CHINA-JAPAN AFFAIRS.

Washington, Jan. 2.-It is the belief of
officials in a position to know the status
of affairs between Japan and China that
Japan will declare the peace negotiations
unless China hastens them. There is in
creasing irritation on the part of Japan as
to delays in presenting definite peace pro-
posals. More than q month has passed
since it was agreed that tender of peace
conditions would be considered by Japan
and as yet the conditions have not been
offered and there is doubt as to China's
having the right to make
any official offers. Already the Japan gov
eminent is inclining to q unanimous de-
mand of the native press to make great
er demand than was contemplated when
the peace negotiations began. At that
time the general understanding of peace
would be the independence of Corea and
the work of the plenipotentiaries was to
settle the terms of the cash indemnity
Now, however, there is an intimation that
Japan may no longer accept the two CON
ditions first proposed, but may insist also
on China's ceding extensive territories,
probably the island of Formosa or the
valuable Statgetic points of Port Arthur,
or Wei-Hei-Wei, or portion of Manchu-
ra, already occupied by the japanese.
Opinions differ in Japan as to which
piece of territory should be demanded
This annexation sentiment is universal
and it is believed Japan will soon make
it known to China, probably through Min
lister Dun at Toxic, that the procrastina-
ton in presenting the terms of settlement
is such that negotiations will be aban-
doned unless closed within reasonable
and definite time. In the meantime there
are evidences that Japan is preparing for
an aggressive military movement, calcu-
lated to impress China and the plenipo-
tentiaries with Japan's ability to increase
the advantage she has already secured.
A gentleman who has been some years
in the diplomatic service in Southern
China and is recognized authority on in
ternational customs, points out it is in
variable rule with China not to grant
absolute power to, her plenipotentiaries,
but merely to confer advisory powers ON
them.

SENATE.

Washington, Jan. 3.--The senate re-
assembled at noon today after the holi,
day recess of 10 days. The chair laid
before the senate a letter from the secre-
tary of state, transmitting a dispatch
from the American ambassador Mt Paris,
saying he had delivered to the widow of
the late President Carnot enGrossed
copies of the resolutions of sympathy
of the American congress relative to the
death of President Carnot.
After the presentation of sundry reso-
lutions and memorials, the senate passed
the resolution heretofore introduced by
Mr.. Lodge (Mass.), calling on the pres-
dent for correspondence and other papers
relative to the delivery by the United
States consul at Shanghai of two Japa-
nese citizens to the Chinese authorities;
also asking for information as to whether
the two japanese were put to death after
being tortured; further, whether there
was any understanding with the Chinese
government that the United States should
aid, assist and give safe conduct to such
Japanese citizens desiring to leave China,
etc.
The resolution of Mr.. Allen, relating
to the senate restaurant, was then taken
up and Mr.. Allen addressed the senate
at some length. He thought the restau-
rant should not be furnished by the gov
eminent. Senator's Hale and Henderson
both thought the best interests of the
senate demanded that there be no change.

Washington, Jan. 2.-Although con.

cussed. There is prevailing impression
that Democratic caucus will be held
tomorrow night to consider the measure,
but no official action looking to that end
has been taken as yet. 1t was the pur-
pose of the Democratic leaders before the
holiday recess to bring the bill to final
vote on Monday, but this is unlikely.

THE JUDGE KICKS CASE.


Washington, Jan. 3.-There is a prob
ability that the full committee on judi
ciary of the house will consider the case
of Judge Kicks of Cleveland, and make
q report to the house without the inter-
vention of the subcommittee which in
vestigated the charges.
Representative Bailey of Texas, the
chairman of the subcommittee, appear
ed in the house today for the first time
after a short illness. The preparation of
report has been delegated to Mr.. Bailey,
but he has not been able to give the mat
ter the attention which he thinks it
should have, nor has he sufficiently re-
covered to do so at present. Therefore,
Mr.. Bailey says he will lay the matter
before the judiciary committee at its
meeting tomorrow, and will, without any
report or recommendation on the merits
of the case, ask that the full committee
consider the evidence, which was gather
ed in Cleveland, and decide what action
to take.
All the testimony offered the sub-com-
mittee was taken in shorthand, so the
committee would have the facts before
it.
If the committee should recommend
as the result of its view of the testimony,
that Judge Kicks be impeached,. it is
hardly probable that the impeachment
proceedings could be begun during the
session of congress-.
