A A. Jolt for the High Brows. \

From the New York Morning Telegraph
 The publication of an interview which was had with George Meredith just be- fore he died must have come as a jolt to the select English bookmen. Meredith in- formed his visitors that he spent the morning reading newspapers and that his favorite authors were Americans-Ger- trude Atherton, Edith Wharton and Henry James, the latter being accepted even by Meredith as "hard reading" Most English literateurs, and more especially Arthur Symons, common speak of all newspapers as rubbish-and as to the American authors, Meredith was uttering heresy, for which he would have been drawn and quartered had the interview been published during his life. It seems after all. that George Meredith was most human and not the sour bookworm that he has often been pictured.

 You denounced Bryan for tnat,' he exclaimed facing the republicans. You said he was assailing the honor and in- tegrity of the supreme court, yet the man you elevated to the loftiest station in the nation virtually repeated the very same words that for 12 years the demo- cratic party in every platform had ut tered, and he, too, was a jurist.
 While favoring the amendment, MT. Henry of Texas expressed the fear that it would suffer defeat If submitted to the legislatures. He desired to have the proposition submitted to constitutional conventions.
 "Fooling the People"
 MT. Bartlett of Georgia shared in this view. The proposition, he declared, was a sham and designed to prevent the im- position of such a tax. In fiery speech in support of an income tax, MT. eRoDln- son of Arkansas arraigned the republic ans for, as he charged, "fooling the peo- ple'' before the last presidential election. He defended William J. Bryan, declared that he stood head and shoulders above any other man in private life today. He was pure and spotless, and yet. he said. the same republican party that denounced Bryan as an anarchist was now approprl- ating his political thunder
 There are men here,' he remarked, "who owe William J. Bryan an apology
 MT. Robinson still defending the tax, asked if any one present ever heard of millionaires going to war, and if it was not that the millonaires paid a substi- ute and then went into hiding.
 Mr Diekema of Michigan vehemently denied this charge.
 In his own state alone, he said, two mil lionaires, Truman Newberry. former Sec ietary of the Navy. and James McMil- Ian. had enlisted in the Spanish war.
 Others supporting the resolution were Messrs. Harrison of New York, Keller of Ohio. Hull of Tennessee, Sims of New York, Bartholdt of-Missouri, Byrd of Mis- sissippi Richardson of Alabama, DeAr- mond of Missouri. Hefin of Alabama, Fucker of Missouri, Dies of Texas and Hobson of Alabama.
 Ruled Out of Orcier.
 MT. Henry of Texas vainly sought to offer an amendment providing for the submission of the question through con- stitutional conventions, but the speaker ruled that under the agreement for vote he was out of order.
 Henry appealed from the decision and succeeded in forcing a roll call The re- suit was: Yeas 1855. nays 143, which had the effect of sustaining the speaker. un- daunted, Mir Henry moved to recommit the resolution, but was debarred from recognition because he was In favor of the resolution MT. Gardiner of Massachu- setts made the point but 1t was over whelmng voted down.
 The vote on the resolution resulted Sl7 to IA.
