the Bill—The Vote Stand* ISO to IBS

—In the Senate.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.—Tho currency bill was practically defeated in the house yesterday. The demand for the previous question on the adoption of the rule to close debate on the measure was defeated on a rising vote of 9a to 101. A roll call was ordered, resulting in a vote of l-'i yeas to 12!) nays.

There was a good attendance on the floor of tho house when Speaker Crisp dropped the gavel, as notice had been given that a special order to terminate general debate on the currency bill would be reported from tho committee on rules,

As soon as the committees had been called for reports Mr. Outlnvaite presented the speciul order from the committee on rules. The order provided for the closing of general debate on the consideration of the Springer substitute as an original bill under the five-minute rule to-day, to-morrow and Friday until 4:50 p. m., when it provided for the report of the bill and pending amendments to the house for final vote ou Saturday immediately after the morning hour.

Mr. Outhwaite made a brief speech, urging the necessity for dosing the debate on the currency bill and for disposing of it in order that more proesing measures, like the Ncaragua canal bill, might be considered.

Mr. Kland wanted to know if an opportunity to oiler an amendment to strike out the enacting clause (which would kill the bill) would be given.

Mr. Ueed agr"fl with his colleague. Mr. Dingiey, that suctions'J and 10, relating to state banks, which were vital, should be first considered.

After some further wrangling, during ,ti.A'h Mr. Bland and others loud:'- vo'listed that tho adoption of the rum would cut them off, Mr. Outhwaite rejected all suggestions for amending the rules and demanded tho previous question.

The republicans voted solidly with the democratic opponents of the measure against ordering the previous question, and it was defeated by a rising vote, S2 to 101.

Among tho democrats who voted against ordering the previous quest ion were: Cockrell (Texas), McGann (111.), Hooker (Miss.), Ellis (Ky.), Money (Miss.), Bailey (Texas), Bland (Mo.), Iloll (Mo.), Ilolman (Iud.), and Conn (lml.).

Mr. Outhwaite hurriedly demanded the yeas and nays, and the roll was called, resulting in a defeat for the rule by a vote of 122 to 129. This was a decisive test vote, aud practically kills the bill.

Annlysis of the vote: Yeas—Democrats, 123 republicans, 0 populists, 1. Nays—Republicans, 82 democrats, 39 populists, S.J 'J lie following pairs were announced:

Cooper (Ind with Wheeler (111.), Lay ton (Ohio) with Stockdale (Miss ), Price (I-a.) with Orosvenor (Ohio), Krilibs (l'a.) with .Johnson (Ind.), Cockran (N. Y.) with Bingham (l'a,). De Forest (Conn.) with Sweet (Idaho). Grain (Texas) with Blair (N. 11.), Hankhead (Ala.) with Milliken (Maine), Format! (111.) with Lefever (N. Y.), Sorg (Ohio) with Marvin (N. Y.), O'Neill (Mo.) with Wilson (Wash ), Lane (111.) with Hooker (N. Y.), Heard (Mo.) with Hull (Iowa), Souiers (Wis.) with Honk (Tenn.), Caminetti (Cal.) with Helden (N. Y.), Cobb (Mo.) with Baboock (Wis.)

The postoflico appropriation bill was then taken up. The bill as explained bv Mr. Henderson, chairman of tho committee on postolliees and post roads, carried SS0.412.iri2, or SI.tilti.MO less than the estimates, but 82.20(1,:tf3 more than tho appropriation for the current year. The estimated receipts for the next, year were S2..ri3n,ri4.l less than the sum carried by the bill. Without nmendment the postofiiee appropriation bill wns then passed, and at 4:-)f the house adjourned.

Quay Continues Ilia Attacks oiv the In-

cotitR Tax.

WASHINGTON. .Ian 10.—In the senate yesterday Senator Cockrell. from the appropriationsrommi!! ee, reported the urgency deficiency bill aii't it was placed on tho calendar, Sen:t! Cockrell giving notice that he would call it up to-morrow. Keplying to Senator OIVIV Senntor Cockrell said there had been no amendments by tho committee lo any portion of the bill relating to the income t.nx.

Mr. Quay asked the senator whether it would not be well in the bill, "ina nd of smothering the names and aiil ries of employes in the reports ma It? by corporations under the inme tax, to compel a publication in mi .-Il form so that the list of the. names of employes shall be accessible to the public." The senator claimed he personally knew of cases where injustice had been caused by the absence of such a rule. lie also gave notice of the following amendment to the bill: "Nothing in any law to the contrary •hall preclude any court of the United States having jurisdiction to the parties from considering and determining as to the constitutionality or validity of said act. or any part thereof, as re

lates to the taxes upon gains or profits and incomes therein montioned whenever by any proceeding which shall have been commenced or be pending in such court such questions shall be presented."

Dr. Pascoe (dem., Fla.) addressed the senate on the Nicaragua canal bill He announced that while favoring the construction of an inter-oceanio canal, yet lid was opposed to the pending bill.

The senate passed the bill reported Tuesday for the relief of homestead settlers in Wisconsin, Minnesota and Michigan, and after an executive sossion adjourned.

SENATORS TO ACT.

Voorhee# Call* Ills Finance Commltteo Together for Connultation. WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.—Many of the

democratic senators received the announcement of tho adverse vote on the currency bill as a summons to the senate to talci} the question up and find a Way out of tho difficulties with which the country finds itself confronted. Senator Voorhees took the first step for the formal consideration of tho matter by issuing a call for a meeting of the finance committee to be held this afternoon at 2 o'clock with the hope that an exchange of views on the part of members of tho committee will indicate general lines upon which a bill may be framed which would stand a chance of receiving the approval of the committee and of tho senate. It is also understood Senator Vest has in mind the outline of a plan for a bill which ho may submit to the committee and which may prove the basis of future action. The two principal features of the plan are: "1. To authorize the issuance of &

Mr. Outhwaite said the rule discriminated against no amendments, and Mr. Springer again assured the house that there would be no disposition to cut off members with amendments, but Mr. Bland was not satisfied and insisted that a provision be inserted iu the rule or an agreement be had by which a vote could be had on his amendment.

Home Committee Postponos Invc»tl|ta-

Kutlon Until Next Monday. WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.—Consideration

of the charges against Judge Ricks of Cleveland have again been postponed by the house judiciary committee until Monday next, as the attendance was one member short of a quorum. The testimony by the Cleveland Labor union will be taken up. The charges which Samuel J. Ritchie of the Canadian Copper company has made will not be considered by the committee until the first case has been disposed of. Judging by the expressions of several committeemen there is doubt whether Mr. Ritchie's case will be deemed worthy of serious investigation, as there is not shown sufficient cause to justify tliom iu taking up his petition.

The company is one of the leading financial concerns in the northwest. The liabilities of the company are about 54,000,000, and the assets nominally the same. The company did an immense farm loan business. The failure of crops cut off interest paj'ments to the company. More than $80,000 interest due. the company on farm loans is in default. The company did no banking business and no local banks or enterprise is involved. It is believed the company's assets will pay out the liabilities in a little time.

—Alleged Abdnctorn of Ex-Treunrer Soott in Nebrmkn Are Hold.

DEFIANCK, Ohio, Jan. 10.—Sometime Monday night the Merchants' National bank was entered by professional cracksmen and 520,000 in cash secured. The robbery was not discovered until yesterday afternoon. Tuesday morning Cashier Hookor was unable to work the combination to the vault, but saw nothing otherwise to create suspicion. A Cincinnati expert opened the vault only to disclose that the inner safe had been exploded and its contents carried away. The cracksmen first secured an entrance to the rooms of the Young Men's Christian association over the bank and dug through the masonrv, twenty inches thick, which formed the top of the vault. After securing the plunder the floor was replaced and carefully securod, then the oarpct was relaid and every evidence of the operation removed. On top of the vault was found the chisels and mallets, a pair of mittens, a pair of socks, and two boxes of coin which were too heavy to remove safely. There isn't the slightest clew to the robbers. The Merchants' National bank is one of the most substantial banking institutions in northwestern Ohio, its stockholders representing almost unlimited capital, hence the robbery will not cripple the bank or result in any loss to its patrons.

SOLONS IN SESSION.

Thirty-ninth General Assembly of Illi

nois Opened Yesterday.

SrnixoFiKi.n, 111., Janlo.—One hundred and twenty-five republican senators and representatives moved on the capitol yesterday morning and began the thirty-ninth general assembly at 12 o'clock noon. The house caucus was in session seven hours Tuesday night and did not complete the list of appointments until 3 o'clock in the morning. It took along time to settle tho numerous contests for positions, but the work was clinched beyond the possibility of a change when it was finally completed, and the house adopted the slate without a break.

The largest crowd attended the house session. Secretary Ilinriclisen called tho members to order at the stroke of 12. Prayer was offered by Rev. Dr. Goodspeed, and Capt. Whitlock called the roll. The formality of electing a temporary speaker was then observed, the republicans naming Thomas B. Needles of Washington, whom Meyer defeated for speaker. The democratic minority had a candidate in the person of Thomas F. Ferns of Jersey. Mr. Needles, who was named by Hawley of Ivane, was, of course, elected and assumed tho gavel. The temporary organization was then perfected, and a resolution was adopted to canvass the slate vote cast at the November election.

Proceeding to the permanent organization. John Meyer received the solid support of tho republican side. The democrats named Clayton E. Crafts as their choice, and he, too, got every vote on tho right hand side, but thcro were not near enough. The vote stood: Meyer, 96 Crafts, 01. Mr. Meyer' 'lection was greeted with loud nise. He came forward and took place of Mr. Needles, lie V.ii.'ft address, urging party harmon., and hard work.

Messrs. Thiemann, Douglas of Randolph and Farrell were appointed a committee to notify the senate that the house was ready to proceed to business. Mr. Curtis offered a joint resolution, which wasadopted, providing that the two houses convene in joint session at .11 o'clock to-day for the purpose of canvassing the returns of the vote for state officers cast at the late election. Messrs. Payne, Challacombe and Jones of Cook were appointed a committee to wait on the governor and notify him the house was organ ized and ready to receive any communication which he might have to present. .Mr. Berry offered a resolution,which was adopted, authorizing the appointment of a committee of seven, of which the speaker should bo chairman, to prepare and report rules for tho government'of the house during the present session. On motion of Mr. Plotke 10 o'clock was fixed as the standing hour to which the house shall adjourn each day unless otherwise ordered by majority vote.

On motion of Mr. Power the speaker was ordered to appoint a chaplain at 83 per diem. The house then adjourned to 10 o'clock this morning.

In the senate the republican caucus nominees were ratified, and after the appointment of a committee to notify the governor that the senate was organized and ready to receive any communication he might wish to make, on motion of Senator Crawford of Cook the rules governing the senate of the Thirty-eighth general assembly were adopted as temporary rules of this senate till such time as the committeo on rules shall report. The senate then adjourned until 10 o'clock this morning.

WASHINGTON, Jan 10—Tho President yesterday sent to congress anoths batch of Hawaiian correspondenoe, supplementary to tho Walker report. This last chapter is full of interest, ia~ asmuch as it reveals in one case notable difference of opinion betweefti Admiral Walker and United States Minister Willis, making clewh issue between them. In the ond place, it discloses an efforts being made of the British government^) with the consent of the Hawaiian tliorities, to secure the lease of •&. island of the Hawaiian group to btf used as a cable station. The memorandum showed that tho subsidy manded was £7,000 per annum for fif^ teen years that the island selecteA should not be fortified or used as Alnaval station, or other than cable pa]T*t poses, and that the agreement shottl4f turminate upon breach of its term*
