URGES ACTIVE WORK. Mr. Wilson Says the Session of Congress Should Not Be Routine. CIVIL SERVICE EXTENDED. Twenty-Five Hundred Internal Revenue Officers Given the Law’s Protection. Effort to Get Tariff Bills Before the Senate Fails—House Debates on Pensions and Income Tan—Other Matter. Washington, Dec. 18.—Mr. Wilson of West Virginia, chairman of the house committee on ways and means, believes that the present should be an active session of congress. “The session,” said he? “should not be a routine one, as the chances of retrieving Democratic supremacy depend on a full and solid record of reform legislation. To do little or nothing except pass the appropriation bills and the lean list of measures said to have been agreed on by some of our party leaders would justify the charge that the Democratic party is incapable of affirmative and coherent policy. The country and the Democratic party have a right to vote on the substitute tariff bills sent to the senate dealing with coal, iron ore, sugar, free alcohol and barbedwire, and there are some amendments to the administrative parts of the tariff bills suggested by the treasury department that call for action. Our treaty and trade relations with Germany demand the repeal of the discriminating tax against German sugar, and the protection of our own people against the trust calls for the repeal of the 1-8 cent protection on refined sugars. Opponents of the income tax are told by fiends of the trust that the repeal of these'two differentials is in the interest of that thlt On the contrary, such iepeal would somewhat Increase theimport of refined sugar, add to our reve nues and moderate the power of the trust over American consumers. We should also pass a good banking bill • , Ci NOT TAKEN UP. Votes In the Senate Were Against Tariff and Closure Bills. Washington, Dec. 13.—Senator Gray made an unsuccessful attempt to have considered in the senate yesterday the bill reported from the finance committee Striking out all the differential duty in favor of refined sugar and leaving all sugar dutiable at 40 per cent ad valorem. There were a great many absentees, so that the defeat was not so decisive as to discourage further efforts of the same kind. A majority vote of 10 against taking up the cloture resolution indicates, it is believed, the improbability of changing the rules at this session. Mr. Morgan again addressed the senate on the Nicaraguan bill and in concluding expressed his intention of soon asking that unanimous consent be given fixing a time for a vote on the bill. There was considerable expectancy when Mr. Gray attempted to secure precedence for the tariff measure. He thought the tariff bills of greatest importance and thought the senate should be given a chance to say whether they should be considered. Mr. Morgan objected to the canal bill being laid aside. Senator Berry of Arkansas demanded a yea and nay vote, and while this proceeded a good deal of shifting about and no little delay was occasioned. As announced the vote resulted: Yeas—Bate, Berry, Blackburn, Caffery, Cockrell, Coke, Faulkner, George, Gray, Harris, Hill, Hunton, Jarvis, McLaurin, McPherson, Mills, Palmer, Pasco, Pugh, Vest, Vilas, Voorhees, Walsh —23.

They Form vhe Themes For Lively Debate k In the House. Washington, Dec. 18.—The house yesterday entered upon the consideration of the urgency deficiency appropriation bill. The bill contained two disputed items—the appropriation, for special pension examiners and the appropriation for the collection of the income tax. The former appropriation opened the doors for a debate on the conduct of the pension office, and especially the practice of summarily suspending the payment of alleged fraudulent pensions. The debate on the income tax appropriation was especially lively, but the motion to strike it out 1 was defeated in committee by a vote of 54 to 127. It is probable that a record making vote will be demanded in the , house today. , OBITtAKY. Mrs. Eliza Moses was bom in Allegheny county. Pa., in 1823, and died at her home in Root township, Dec. 8,3894, in the 72nd year of her age. When 17 years of age she became a member of the Big Spring Presbyterian church in Carroll county. Ohio, under the preaching of the Rev. Samuel Moody. In 1845 she and her Jate husband Samuel Moses were married, and in 1853 moved to Adams county, Indiana. They at once became members of the Presbyterian church in Decatur, and during a period ot forty years were leading and honored members of the same, seldom absent from means of grace. Mother Moses was one of those unobtrusive silent workers. Every interest of the church she carefully protected and encouraged. Hsr work in her family attests her devotion to ttod’s service. Her children rise up and call her'blessed. All were early brought to Jesus, became earnest workers, and fill responsible positions in the chclir v Here we have a life which furnishes convincing proof of the power of the Gospel of Christ over the human soul. Meek, retiring. Christ-like, and yet fearless and determined in defense of truth and promotion of good. Many cares and home responsibilities, hard work early and late, but never too busy or too tired to neglect God’s work. Tne beneftcient influence of such a life wil* never die, but will always remain as a sweet benediction upon her children and the community. One brother ®f Mrs. Moses, Wm. Hunter, of Pittsburgh, remains of a large family of children of which she was the youngest Nearly all reached beyond the allotted age of three score years and ten: the last four years recorded the death of four of them: John and George Hunter, Mrs. Kennedy and Mrs. Moses.

Washington, Dec. 18. —The president yesterday, after a conference with Secretary Carlisle and Commissioner Miller of the internal revenue bureau, issued an order extending the civil service law and rules to the internal revenue service.

Chicago, Dec. 18.—The board of directors of thd American Railway union is having its regular quarterly meeting. All the directors are present except R. M. Goodwin. Reports show that a number of local unions are in a demoralized condition owing to the strike of last summer, but the officers say they are more than satisfied with those found to be intact. Seven new unions are reported as organized within the last 30 days. The difficulty between President Debs and President Gompers appears to be increasing. Debe gives out the following statement: “Gompers’ statement that I asked him to aid in the «trike is a mistake. Gompers was asked t| attend a conference of all of the labor# leaders of the country to be held in Chicago to discuss the strike, but refused to come. Later, his own organization in Chicago met and ordered him to come to Chicago. He came because he was so ordered, and not of his own volition. At no stage of the trouble did I ask him to strike. When the conference was held here I stated the situation but made no request for assistance, and if Gompers says otherwise I can disprove it.” hi reply to a question Debs said: “The present session of the directors will last until Satprday night unless it should be terminated by Judge Woods. The court will decide the contempt cases Friday, and it may happen that there will be no directors left to go on with the meeting. ” .. ; CAIN’S CRIME. A* Charley Forward Hits His Brother With an Am and Sets His Clothes on Fire. Winnipeg, Dec. 13.—A special to The Free Press from Landgenburg, Assinaboa, says: Yesterday Charley Forward attempted to murder his brother William. While William was stooping over his brother struck him on the back of the neck with an ax, cutting his head frightfully, and when he fell jumped on him with a knife, cutting his face and neck and taking one ear off. He then sprinkled hiih with coaloil and set fire to him. William having enough life left, crawled out in the snow to a bluff, where he managed to put out the fire. He was found by the neighbors in a dying condition. The neighbors then went in search of Charley and found him frozen to death in the house.
