FOR THE WEEK
i
Discussion of Tariff Ip House aud Federal
Election Bill in Senate.
HAWAII WILL ALSO BE THE TOPIC
Chairman Wilson, of the Committee
on Ways and Means, Is a Much
Over-Worked Man and Will 3e Glad
When the Final Vote Is Taken Ef
forts to Be Made to Change the
Proposed Sugar Schedule and to
Restore the Duty on Coal -Belief
That Democrats and Populists Will
Act Together.
Washington, Jan. CI
THK snrae topics which were he
fore c-onKres last week will
continue to engage its attention
during all of thlawek;iu the
Semite the repeal to the federal .'lection
laws and in the limue the tariff bill
There is one person, at least, who
balU with delisht the approach of the
ml of the tariff debate in the house,
aud who euters upon this week's work
with retiHweil zest for tho reasou that
it is the last to be devoted to the pend
ing mxvsure. That person i Repre
sentative W. L. Wilson, chairman of
the committee on ways and means, and
therefore responsible for the progress
of the bill through the house.
His has been a most predictions la
bor. Not only has the burden of the
parliamentary struggle ou the floor
been borne by him in large! measure,
but the demands made by any house
representatives of this or that interest
for clmnees in tho schedules of the bill
have engrossed his time and attention
in and out of the committee room, both
before and since the measure was re
ported to the house, so that neither bv
day nor night has he had an hour for
months that he conl 1 csil his own.
SCOAU ITEM TO BE DtSOUBSID.
When the debate clog'd in toe house
Sstnrday night there remained upon
tiie desk of Chairman Richardson,
seventy seven amendments, wnich the
authors desiro to offr for the action of
the home. The sujar item is to be
discussed Monday and coal Tuesday.
Three hours have been allotted to each.
Various amendment have been pro
posed to the present text of the bill.
The Louisiana members will seek to
retain the bonnry on sugar, failing to
increns the dntv, while Mr. Harter
will propose to make the duty on ai I
(irads of sugar 1 cent a ponnd and
ubnlisli the bounty.
Strenuous efforts will b- made to re
store coal to the dutiable list, amend
ment of duty ranging from 26 to CO
cents a bushel. An organized move
ment to ff-ct thia change has been
made and representatives of the trans
portation and mining interests have
been hard at work in Washington to
secure votes. Much effort has been
spent on the Republican representa
tives in this behalf, but, so far as can
be learned, without success. There is
very indication that when the bill
comes to a vote Jan. it will receive
the support of every Democratic and
Populist member, with possibly, at the
outside, half a dozen excepti'ins.
HAWAII IN THE SENATE.
In the senate there will ! a slight
relaxation of the programme in order
to permit the delivery of the speech on
our Hawaiian relations promised by
Senator t'nllura of Illinois. He is
expected to talk Monday or Tuesday.
The discussion of tue subject may take
an interesting turn nnd trench even
more upon tho time set apart for the
consideration of the election law repeal
bill, if eom- of the Republican senators
realize their expectations that the Tur
pie resolution declaring against foreign
intervention in Hawaii or a concurrent
resolution recognizing by legislative
act the provision d government of
Hawaii will be pre- I to the front.
Except by unanimous consent, how
ever, the discus-ion of Hawaiian af
fairs must be confined to the morning
hours of the week, nnd tho regular
topio for debate will be the elections
bill.

WERTZ BACKS UP THE KUMP SENATE.
He Acts on the Erroneous Opinions of
Attorney General Stockton.
Nkwark, N. J., Jan. 21 - Governor
Wertz has acted, In recognizing only
the Democratic rump
senate upon the conclu
sions fnUely arrived at
by Attorney U-nsral
Stockton. '1 he opinion
IX .- V of the latter bearing on
V T the legality of tho two
senates was anticipated
and discounted long be
fore it made Its appesr-D-mocr
its have openly
boasted that the attorney general would
sustain them, and th"ir boast seems to
be justified by the opinion of the at
torney general, it is a fair c instruc
tion of this opinion to say that it is a
partisan opinion. It affirm,! the legality
of the Democratic senate and advises
the governor to recognize that body as
the senate with which he shall bold
official relations. He maintains that
the senate is a continnom body, pat
terned after the Federal senate, and he
asserts that the nine Democratic sena
tors organized in the customary and
1-gal way, and are, therefore, entitled
to recognition as composing the legal
senate.
The attorney-general i9 represented
as having admitted that he ui ide up
his opinion entirely from the minutes
of the rump senate, as presented to
him. He added that the facts of the
treatment of the Republican senators
were new to him, Tuese things being
so, it is evident that Mr. Stockton has
proceeded ou a falsa basis; that he has
secured his facts from Democratic
sources; that he ignored the Republi
can accounts of last Tuesd ty's scenes;
Ebnt he did notcmisult the Republican
minutes of the proceedings of the Re
pnblican senators, and it is clear.there
fore, that any opinion, based upon such
data and upon such impressions, must
of necessity be partisan, false and er
roneous. o

PRIVATE ailvu- s received bv the
Empress of Japan fives fuller
particular Of til eartfctju ike on
tho Misterons territory north of
the Himalayt, where Bhoolak, the, Bud
dhist god Incarnate, reigns auprems
over the hearts of the Thibetan. Ow
ing to the extreme remoteness of th
country, information of the tremend
ous disaster had only just reached the
coast when tin Etnpressof Japan sailed
for America. Tiie viceroy of Bieobnan
LiOU, l'ing Chang, who represents the
civil authority of China iu the dis
tressed territory has made a public ap
peal for succor, and iu his memoriul
says that the gr and monastery of Nue
ly nan and Kemi, the home of Bud
dhism, is iu ruins, and seven small
lamas tries are buried in the wreck of
the former.
Eight hundred and fifty houses be
longing to native Thibetan soldiers,
and occupied by them and their families
met the same fnte, S9venty-fonr Lsma
priests and 180 Chinese and Thibetans
mads up the roll of those whose bodies
had been found and Identified Tnero
were also tinny scores of unidentified
corpses, while the missing are legiou.
Thousands WOT KILLED,
The total fatalities will probably
reach into the thousands. Upward of
400 were mortally wound!, but were
still alive when the memorial left the
Viceroy. The distress c iussd through
out Thibet bv the shock is bayond ex
aggeration. Famine threatens tho land
and the cry for bread is to all creeds
aud to all people. The greatest misfor
tune of all, however, is to the minds of
all devout Buddhist, that which has
befallen their aacrxl head- the holy
Shooihak. He is among the missing
from Lhsssa where the monsatery of
K-mis was, and the cirenmstances, al
though cealotuly guarded by the faith
ful for fear that knowledge of it might
render asundtr tho entire fabric of tun
ancient faith, is rapidly spreading
through all the eastern lands where
Buddhism is the religion of the masses.
The outcome is beyond calculation.
The shrine is a heap of ruins aud the
holy one missing from the earth. The
Lama in masteries of Huelyuau and
Kemis are situated in tho heart of the
civilizid portion of Tbibatand. For
ages the latter has been the seat of
Buddhism proper. The monastery of
Kemis was built, it is believed, about
one thousand years before Christ. Its
great, gloomy pile, it was thought,
would stand until the end of time.

SEN. QUAY ON BONDS AND TARIFF
He Talks Treely and Vigorously and
Gives Sound Views of Finance
and Proposes Legislation.
Pittsbcru, Pa., Jan. 21. A repre
sentative of the Pittsburg Times called
upon Senator Quay, at his home Bea
ver today and found that gentleman
with very positive views on Secretary
Carlisle's proposed issue of fifty mil
lions of new bonds and with no hesita
tlon about expressing them.
"I do not favor legislation for the
issue of bonds to relieve the treasury,"
said the senator, "and I believe that
any that may be issued without abso
lute authority of U.v should be re
pudiated. Thore should bo no cura
tive legislation. Takers of the loan
offered Feb 1. know that the securi
ties go out undera cloud and that their
redemption will be an important po
litical issue in the future. To rernit
the revenues and re-establish tho gold
reserve, it is only necesary that the
administration whistle off its dogs and
announce to the country that the
tariff is to he let alone.
"The line should be drawn at the re
peal of the Sherman bill. It ia as
though a burly highwayman overpow
ered you aud while rilling your pockets
got one of his ha'ids into a steel trap
It would be Christianity to riliOV
aim, but you would try to get tin
other hand ont of your pocket first.
The administration has only to loosen
the death grip it has taken upon the
throats of American labor and capital
and confidence will te restored, the
L'old reserve will re-establish itself, and
the revenue will be ull sufficient for
our needs."

HE SAYS FAREWELL INCOME TfX
?ibley Won't Vote lor ths Wileon Bill,
Although a Demoorat.
WaSHIHGTON, Jan. 21- Some friends
of the proposed Income tax scheme
have abandoned all expectation of its
present adoption by the house. One
of them is Kepresentative J 13. Sibley,
of Krie. In his picturesque way he
thus discourses on the subject:
"1 am deeply touched bv the agonies
of the Metropolitan press in relation to
the income tax proposition, lhoy have
nearly worn out their c-r-a-n k and s
boxes of type in their eainpiign and
new names have been invented to us
up thn other and unworn type. Lead
ing Democratic member of tb house
from eastern states have boldly claiun d
that it the income tax feature was
made a portion of the tariff bill, they
would rate against and defeat the
whole bill. But, farewell income tax
for this year. Your friends are not
lacking, but your enemies have the
fortress and nil the Ammunition."
Mr. Sibley has spoken against the
Wilson bill at at present constituted,
aud lies also written to the Democratic
commits of Crawford county, offering
to resign his seat iu congress if after
consultation with the Erio county
committee thov shall doom that course
to bo for the best interests of the party.
This was in response lo a resolution
adopted by tho Crawford county com
mittee criticizing Mr. Sibloy for fail

fnetions is broadening every day nnd a
