WORK OF CONGRESS.
Urgency Deficiency Bill Considered in the
 Senate.

sumed consideration of the urgent de- ficiency bill, the pending question being on the appeal from the decision of the chair ruling out of order MT. Hills amendment to give the United States courts jurisdiction Gin advance of the collection of the income tax) of suits to determine the constitutionality and validity of that act
 MT. Call dem., of Florida, continued the speech in which he was interrupted by the adjournment yesterday. The importance of the income tax, he said. lay in the fact that the ques- tion of employment of labor throughout the world was attracting the profound considerat ton of the masses that consti- tute the power and strength of every government.
 MT. Call quoted English and Ameri- can magazines showing the enormous wealth of individuals in both countries and that wealth, particularly In the United States, was the result of l legislation which created franchises and monopolies.
 MT. Allen, pop, of Nebraska, said he had listened yesterday with great care to the remarkable concessions on both sides of the chamber of the inability of the republican and democratic par ties to manage and control the affairs | of the government. He had never ex- pected to hear the Macedonian cry raised on the part of the democratic party and to hear it responded to so cheerfully on the part of the republican party and especially with reference to question that ought to be simple in | it's solution.
 Members of the two parties seemed to assume that only one or the other party could obtain control of the gov l ernment. It had never dawned upon | them that political party, which had met much criticism. not only promised relief, but promised to wipe out all of | the injustice that had been inflicted by | the people by vicious legislation during l the last twenty-five years.
 | MT. Allen defended the populist party | as the party of Jefferson. He referred | again, contemptuously, to the falling on necks and weeping between the dem ocrats and republicans yesterday" and predicted that in 1896 both old parties | would be practically out of power and the new party would be brought into the | control of the government.
 MT. Allen discussed at length and | with great acrimdhy a speech made in the Baltimore bankers convention by MT. Hendrix of New York, and denied MT. Hendrix's assertion that the popu- lists were against the national banks.
 MT George, dem of Mississippi, hav- ing got from MT. Allen a paper setting 1 out the principles of the populist party | (agreed to in St. Louis last monthl called attention to the omission in that paper of the two chief declarations of the party-the sub treasury scheme and the government ownership of railroads and telegraphs, and he asked whether the populist party had abandoned those principles.
 of I had it In my power" MT. Allen replied, q would reduce every railroad and telegraphic corporation to govern ment ownership"
 He added that the sub-treasury scheme had never been held as sub stantial feature of the populistic faith He asserted that the populist sub treas ruy scheme was work of sound philos- ophy as compared with the visionary vagary of the unconditional repeal of
 the state bank taxa repeal which would allow every Tom, Dick and Harry
 to organize little corporation and flood the country without any restraint with bank bills of that corporation.
 And he asked whether Mr. George
 would throw away the state bank tax
 repeal if he (Mr. Allen) would throw
 away the sub treasury scheme.
