mIss.On-Other Notes.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 28.--Mr. Quay re-
ported the army appropriation bill in
the senate to-day and gave notice that
he would call 1t up tomorrow.
Mr.. Allen, Of Nebraska, returned to
the tariff question by referring to the
statements Of Mr.. Morrill,. Mr.. Sher-
man and Mr.. Platt during the exciting
debate yesterday. Mr.. Allen said he
had believed that it was the honest
purpose Of the republican party to enact
law placing gold and silver on
equal terms. But the debate Of yester-
day developed that the republican
leaders, under no circumstances, would
accept free coinage measure. Under
the circumstances, he would submit q
distinct proposition to the chairman OF
the finance committee, namely, that he
(Allen) would assure sufleieRt populist
votes to give majority of the s0nate, II
the passage of the tariff bill was accom-
panied by the adoption of free silver
amendment In conclusion, Mr. Allen
held up a bill, exclaimiug; NOW, to
test your integrity and good faith, l
offer this bill. 1t is your tariff bill,
without a ~ nncrossed or an r un-
dotted, except In the title" Mr., Al
LENS bill was read, It being the tariff
bill and free silver bill combined 1t
went to the table temporarily.
Mr.. Lindsay, of Kentucky, offered
an amendment to the tariff resolution
of Mr.. Carter, directing the finance
committee to report back repeal Of
the one.eighth differential on sugar.
Mr. Carter, of Montana, defended his
vote and the votes of other silver re-
publicans yesterday against taking up
the tariff bill.
In the house shortly after one o'clock
Chairman Johnson, of the elections
committee, informed that body that
owing to certain contingencies nm
known, and to the fact that several
mem hers desired to be beard in debate,
it would be impossible 10 take a vote
on the re-opening of the Van Horn
Iarsney election case. Judge Ma
Cuire of the minority stated that he
had no objection to this arrangement
providing that vote be not taken until
three o'clock tomorrow. Mr.. johnson
said the vote would not be taken before
that time. Mr.. Tarsney took the Aoor
and was closely followed by members
on both sides of the house. He ad-
mitted at the outset that he did not
deny the fact that frauds had been
committed in the election. but denied
that any part of it was perpetrated by
his friends or in his interests- The
friends of Van Horn also claimed to
have telegram from two of the Fifth
precinct electiOR judges, in which they
assert that to their knowledge the bah
lot box OF their voting place had been
stuffed with 400 illegal ballots, 800 of
which were fog Tarsney and 100 for
Van Horn.

EMPoRIA, Kan, Feb. 9G.-The EN-
poria chorus will not appear at the
Hutchinson musical jubilee this year.
The management having decided that
no cash prizes will be given choruses.
unless there are at least three entries,
correspondence has developed the fact
that neither Topeka, Newton, Hutch
inson nor Leavenworth will enter a
contest against Emporia, it having car
ried away the first prize year after
year. As the management will not
consent to bar out Emporia, claim
ing its chorus is the chief attraction,
there is likely to be no chorus contest
