8 J 7 PROTEST FROM LABORERS Benator Quay Presents tho Pennsylvania Workingmen's Memorial, DOLPH ~ TALKS ON TARIFF THE Senator Allen Mixi Gots n Shot fre WASHINGTON, April 21.—There wa: good attendance in the senate today when the gavel fell. There were a number of the visiting Pennsylvania laboring men in the gallery wearing the badge of the delegation. Senator Carey of Wyoming called up the house bill for the protection of the birds and animals In the Yellowstone National park, and asked immediate consideration for it. Before final action could be taken the morning hour expired and the tariff bill was 1ald before the senate. Senator Dolph ob- tained the floor and resumed his speech, which was Interrupted by the adjournment yesterday. The workingmen's deleg in the galleries had t pleasure of hearing Senator Quay read thelr petitions and me- morfal in the senate and plead the ot protection. Senator Dolph had yielded to Senator Quay for the presentation of the memorial, aithough it was contrary to the tariff debate agreement, but unanimous con- sent was accorded. After the presentation the greater portion of the de °s in the gallery filed out and Senator Dolph continued speaking. A mes- sage was received from the president trans- mitting Hawalian correspondence. Senator Dolph took up the question of paper making and wood pulp making In the state of Ore. gon, and appealed to the senate not to de stroy this {ndustry of his state. GRAY AND DOLPH HAVE A ROUND. cnator Gray asked whether he wanted to levy tribute on the state of Delaware in order that Oregon might have a monopoly of the paper business. “I did not say I wanted a any industry for my state,” replicd Mr. Dolph, adding “the senator was paying at- tentlon, but Is simply trying to get into the record.” (Laughter). He went on to say Oregon used a great quantity of goods from Delaware, and pald a high tribute to the industries of that state. Senator Gray thanked him for his compli- mentary words about Delaware, and at the same timo assured him that he had not been actuated by a desire to get into the record. The present depressed condition of affairs in Delaware and other states, he said, due to the culmination of thirty years of high protection. We were living under the highest protective laws the country had ever known. There had not been a single in- dustry of Delaware benefited by the Me- Kinley bill, and he predicted that upon the passage of the pending bill prosperity all over the country would be brighter. The senator from Delaware might preach that doctrine, said Mr. Dolph, but there were thousands of workingmen out of employ- ment in his state who would convince him of the fallacy of that doctrine. Senator Gray closed the incident by de- claring they were out of employment be- cause the McKinley law was in force, and Sentor Dolph resumed his speech. ALLEN READY TO LEARN. There was some discussion between Mr. Dolph and Mr. Allen, when Mr. Chandler en- a monopoly of tored the debate with a suggestion that there was no necessity for hurry, and, as the sepator from Nebraska had shown a com- mendable desire to learn something about the tariff since he had come to the senate, he - thought Senator Dalph should answer all his questions and satisfy his thirst for Information, Mr. Dolph agreed to yield to Senator Allen, but added that next September, when the thermometer registered 100 degrees, when the senate met at 10 o'clock and held aight sessions and when the speeches on the tariff were getting prosy and uninterest- ing, it would be time enough for Senator Allen to exhibit impatience, but at present Al was harmony and good fellowship. In considering the income tax question a difference of opinion was discovered among the republicans. Mr. Dolph had given his experience in the collecting of tht income tax in Oregon when it was in force, when not more than one-tenth of the tax was col- lected. Mr. Teller of Colorado inquired whether there was the same difficulty about collec- ting the tax in England. Mr. Dolph said he had no information from Gngland, but he knew the tax had been evaded in this country and that the people would commit perjury to escape it. TELLER FAVORS THE INCOME TAX. Mr. Teller said his experience had been different from that of Mr. Dolph. He did not think it was evaded any more than the personal property tax. In Colorado, where an income tax was in force, there was not as much dificulty in collecting it as there was in collecting the personal property tax. He did not think it was a good argument against a bill to say the people were too dishonest to have the tax collected. In his opinion it was the most just and equitable tax that could be collected. It might be unprofitable, however, “Mr. President,” he continued, earnesly, ant to say to the senator from N Hampshire (Mr. Chandler, who had just ex- pressed the same views as Mr. Dolph) and to tho senator from Oregon, and to any other senator who makes the claim an income tax cannot be coilected because the people are dishonest, that it is slanderous to the people It is an assumption that the American peo- ple, for a mere pittance, will commit pe: Jury.” Mossrs. Chandler and Dolph both jumped to their feet to reply and both were discuss- ing the question while Mr. Teller lay back In nis seat and smiled. The hour of 5 o'clock arrived before the colloquy ended, and the absence of a quorum pointed out by Mr. Quay being shown upon a roll call, the senate at 5:05 adjourned. QUIE o DAY IN THE HOUSE. hose Who Ob- slon i3ills, Hepburn Retalintes structed the Passage of ¥ WASHINGTON, April 21.—The session of the house was exceedingly dull today The only feature was the announcement of Mr. Hepburn of lowa that he proposed in the future to retaliate upon the democrats for blocking pension legislation at the Friday night sessions by refusing all requests in the house for the passage of bills by unanimous consent. All members have a greater or less number of small bills to pass in this way. Mr. Hepburn’'s announcement caused quite a flurry About an hour was spent in the further * consideration of the diplomatic and con sular bill, and after 2 o'clock, by special order, the day was devoted to eulogies on the late Senator Gibson of Louislana. At the conclusion of the ceremonies at 4:45, as a turther mark of respect, the house adjourned. O THE CANAL ¥ OPPOSITION Senator Davis Outlines Mis Objections to the M WASHINGTON, April 21.—It was gene ally understood when Senator Morgan re- ported the Nicaragua canal bill that it did not wholly meet the approval of all the members of the committee, especially Sen- ator Davis of Minnesota, who opposed the bill when it was previously before the sen- ate. Senator Davis has not put his objec- tlons i the form of a report and will not do 8o, but he will probably make a spesch against the b AL I is ever called up. As to this contingency it s well understood that as lo as the tariff biil Is before the senate thero will_not be the least possi Dility of considerifs the Nicaragua or any other bill, but when the tariff is out of the way an eftort will be made to bring up the Nicarawua bill “Yos, 1 expect to make a speech against the bill" suld Senator Davis, “and I will endesyor to point out some roasons why it should not pass. Why should the United States put $100,000,000 into a canal when we have not o navy to hold it ten days against England, Germany, France or Italy?

A detailed examination of the equipment, fixtures and arrangement bears out and con- (flrm ‘nu- truth of the impression first ob- ained The improvements are g0 many that excopt for the strict, orderly appearance and the gencral coziness that have always been marked characteristics of the house the visitor would scarcely belie that he was in the same store. The prinei- pal alterations, and those which change the appearance of the store the most are the removal of the private offices to the base- me id the placing of the cashiers and }m counters in the center of the store, These are of solid oak, elevated, and so ar- ranged above the center shelving as to not take up a single foot of floor space.

But of greater importance to the ladies is the fact that the large stock fs entirely new and fresh in every detail of every depart- ment. What the fire left of the old stock vas completely cleancd out in the big “fire sale,” which the firm conducted for that pury Thompson, Belden & Co. appear to have been “purified by fire,” start out with a ne se of lite. They wiil hercafter be prepared to attend more care- fully to their extensive mail order business. The large mail order trade of the house is an indication of the confidence placed in tho firm by their patrons, for in this depart- ment more than any other must the selootion of goods be left to the Integrity and judgment of the merchant supplylng the distant cus. tomer, whose only acquaintanco with hfm Iy through the medium of the mails. e and now the Argued with Tholr Fists, At the office of the Board of Public Works yesterday afternoon the city attorney and a former councllman from the First ward be- facts connected involved in a dispute concerning the with the opening of a ce tain street, and hot words led to hot blow No serious bodily damage was don Celebrated Arbor Duy.
