Of the Democratic caucus on Monday,
brought in an order to close general de.
bate and proceed under the hve-minute

should be taken.
But the supporters of the bill showed
lamentable weakness. They were unable
to order the previous question, the demand
Therefor being refused, frat by rising
vote of 90 to lei am then on an aye and
nay vote Of 1874 to 1879. The advocates OF
the bill wore dumfounded when they dis
covered that they had been beaten in the
preliminary skirmish, and the order was
withdrawn. This was the first reverse the

After the adjournment OF the house Sec
Rotary Carlisle was in Speaker Crisps pri-
waite Office for an hour comforting with
house leaders on the effect OF the reverse
suffered by the currency bill. The secre-
tary expressed regret that the rule had
been defeated, and he shared the view Of
Others present that the defoat closed the
prospects Of the bill in its present form.
Now that the rule was defeated, Mr.. Car
Isle agreed with the house lenders that it
was desirable to let the bill rest for time.
He did not suggest any new measure or
any material changes in the present one.
In the senate Mr.. Cockrell, from the ap-
preparations committee, reported the ur-
gent deficiency bill In reply to a oues-
ton by Mr. Quay, Mr.. Cockrell said the
committee had made no amendments to
the bill as passed by the house to those
provisions relating to the income tax
Then Mr.. Quay sprang u sensation by
referring to the defeat Of Mr. Penrose as
candidate for the Republican nomination
for mayor of Philadelphia. Mr.. Quay
said:
II desire, IL the senator will permit, to
commend the matter to his attention and
consideration, because it is too late to in
-troduce an amendment OF that charf cter
at present in the senate. ask the SEN
ator whether IL would not be well in the
bill, instead of smothering the names and
salaries OF employees in the reports made
by corporations under the income tax law,
to compel publication In such form as
that the list Of names and salaries OF such
employees shall be accessible to the public.
"a circumstance which happened within
the last thrty-six hours has called my at
tention to the probable Importance Of
something of that kind Ithappened that,
gentleman who is very high in political
position in the city of Philadelphia, no
less II parsonage than national commit.
teeman, in conversation with a dlstin-
guished member OF the ether branch of
the national legislature, and a judicial of
flcer of the city of Philadelphia and ono of
the leading membsrs--probably the lead
ing member of the Pennsylvania state
senatc-whcn giving as a reason why he
could not preserve plightod faith, and
could not do what ought TO be done in regard
to AN important nomination to be made
there, stated that he was under o salary.
and had been under heavy salary from a
great corporation for the last three years
salary large enough to maintain his
fainily-aud he was compelled to do what
the corporation wished him to do, and not
what he himself desired and felt that he
ought to do.
The amendment ! suggest is pertinent
simply in this respect, that men In such a
position, with high power for good or evil,
ought not to be permitted to masquerade
as acting in the interest OF the public or
In the Interest Of ANY party when in reality
they are serving these great corporate
bodies. They ought to go about and meet
their fellows fairly and openly, with the
dollar mark Of the corporation upon their
foreheads, and | think such an amend
ment as l suggest should be inserted in
the bill before it passes
The bin will be called up for eonsidera-
ton in the senate this afternoon.
At 3 o'clock Mr.. Pasco addressed the
senate on the Nicaraguacanal bill, in which
he announced that while favoring the CON
struction OF an interocaanic canal yet he
was opposed to the pending BILL
