NO INCOME TAX SUIT? Hill’s Amendment to Test the taw Defeated In the Senate. THE APPROPRIATION PASSED Only Five Senators Join Hill In Hl» Opposition—Efforts Being Made to Bring the Judge Kicks Impeachment Case Before the House — New Coinage Bill Introduced. Washington, Jan. 17. —After a debate covering a week the senate yesterday voted down Mr. Hill’s proposition to re--1 fer the legality of the income tax to the courts, only five senators joining with Mr. Hill in supporting the proposition. But the vote was not taken until lute in the day and up to that time there was a spirited debate that the Hill proposition has called out. Mr. Vest was the principal speaker of the day and in view of his service on the tariff conference committee, there was great interest manifested in some of the committee secrets which he felt justified in disclosing. In the course of his speech Mr. Vest called attention to the gravity^of the 1 tariff war which foreign countries had begun against the United States as a result of one-tenth sugar differential. Although Mr. Hill failed in referring the income tax to the courts he secured the adoption of an important amendment limiting the interrogatories of the officers seeking to collect the tax. The amendment will have the effect of compelling the treasury departments to change its regulations as to collecting the income tax. Mr. Lodge’s effort to have income tax officials placed under civil service rules was defeated. The income tax appropriation was then agreed to and the deficiency'appropriation bill passed. Mr. Aldrich secured the passage of a resolution calling on the president for information as to the negotiations with Germany in regard to the tariff and retaliation. RICKS IMPEACHMENT CASE. Effort* Made to Bring the Matter Before the House For Debate. Washington, Jan. 17. —The judiciary committee has decided to take two days next Saturday and Monday for debate on the Ricks impeachment resolution in the house. Chairman Sayres of the appropriation committee says he will endeavor to call up the sundry civil bill on Saturday—so there may be a conflict for precedence, as both the appropriation bill and the resolution are privileged matters. While there is a possibility, according to members who oppose impeachment, that Mr. Broderick’s minority report may be substituted for , the majority report in Friday’s committee meeting, some of Mr. Ricks’ friends declare that he would prefer to obtain the verdict of the whole house on the question of impeachment rather than have the charges stifled by a bare majority vote in the committee. Several Democrats announce that they will sustain Judge Ricks on the floor, and assert that the adoption of the resolution will not be made a party question. In case the resolution succeeds it is probable that Mr. Bailey and’ Mr. Lane will be appointed managers on the part of the house to prosecute the case before the senate since they have been most actively interested in it and are able lawyers. Mr. Bailey thinks that the senate should be able to dispose of the matter this session. The case is so simple, he says, that it should consume but a few days, but if it is not tried he intends to bring it forward again early in the next congress. ’ New Coinage BUI. Washington, Jan. 17.-—Representa-tive Bryan (Dem., Neb.) has introduced a bill providing for the coinage of the seigniorage. A feature of the bill is that any person presenting to the treasury greenbacks and treasury notes and demanding their redemption in gold or silver for the purpose of embarrassing the government, injuring its credit or 3 compelling or securing an issue of bonds shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and upon conviction be punished by imprisonment for not less than five years. TROLLEY LINE STRIKE. -General Belief That the Difficulties Will Be Adjusted Today. Brooklyn, Jan. 17.—1 tis generally believed here that the strike of the trolley motormen and conductors will be settled amicably today. From present indications arbitration will be resorted to to effect this. The members of the state board of mediation and arbitration were exceedingly busy throughout the day. , The terms of the probable compromise have not yet been made public, but it is believed that both the companies and the strikers have made concessions. The strikers have expressed their willingness to put the matter entirely in the hands of the arbitration board, and stand upon the decision which may be rendered, provided that the companies will do the same. The officials of the companies have not yet determined upon this course. The strikers are quiet and orderly now and oijly in one instance during the day did they come in contact with the police. Ex-Governor Pattluon For Mayor. Philadelphia, Jan. 17 —The Democratic city morality convention yesterday nominated ox-Governorßobert E. Pattison for mayor. Sylvester Bonnaffon, Jr., was nominated for receiver of taxes. The Democratic ticket is thus headed by a Democrat and an independent Republican. f The Democrats are confident that because of the disaffection caused by the “turning down” of Senator Penrose by the, Mar-tin-Porter element of the Republican organization they can elect Pattison with the aid of reformers and independents. ■ ‘ 'saLUy.Tih;’-• ia-.X a-

A Muncie citizen has wagered another $25 that he can eat a quail a day for thirty days. The first of January the gentleman entered upon the task. It has been asserted by good authorities for a number of years that a man could not eat a quail a day for this length of time, and the result will bfc watched with interest. Recently in Chicago two protninent* linen made a wager of this kind, SI,OOO being the stake. The man who wagered that he could eat the quail lost his thousand. Regularly, every day, for twenty days he went into an up town restaurant and ate a quail. The twenty-fisrt day as usual he went and ordered his quail. When itjwas placed before him on the table he became deathly sick and could not eat a bite of bird, and for several weeks afterward the’ mention of quail made him shudder.—Hartford City Telegram. .

While we have been unable to furnish the names of those present, there was a goodly number present. They were the recipientsof a number of valuable presents. The wish of all ipres'ent is that they may live to enjofy more such days, « The depot of the G. R. & I. in this city was built 23 years ago last fall, and was thought at that time to be" ample accommodation for the traveling public, but the travel has so far increased that the depot building is now entirely too small. There are many times in cold weather that there is not room for all the passengers waiting to get inside the waiting room, also in Wet rainy i weather many are compelled- to seek shelter in the ware room while waiting. Would it not be of great interest to the G. R. & I, company to enlarge their present building, or build a new one much larger that would meet the needs of the traveling public? J. D.

Safeguards Agalait-Catarrh. Both from the obstructions occasioned by Incipient catarrh, and from b&bit, young children breathe through the mouth. If parents would make it an axiom of the nuraery and playground, “Breathe through your nose only,’* the cure would be well begufh Let the lesson be repeated, enforced, and insisted upon, until it. becomes second nature with the child. Let it bemore familiar than the daily routine of exercises, and as necessary as the meals. Set tt as a part of the pupil’s education that he shall walk a certain num ber of rounds of the playground at a rapid rate with his lips tightly closed. Make the opening of them during the round a demerit, and the completion of the task in accordance with directions, a merit Increase the distance and the speed d dly- When a boy or girl can walk, at a rapid pace, or, better, run, three hundred yards, breathing only through the noee, and repeat the performance thrice during the day, there need be small fear of chronic nasal catarrh. Even when the disease 'has become seated in a young person, it may be eradicated by persistence in this exercise, which, as everyone knows, increases the lung-power and benefits the circulatory system at the same time. It is a very simple remedy, but, persevered in, is a perfect one. In persons of any age, a very efficacious remedy, often cun£iye,4f used regularly, is salt water, snuffed into the nostrils night and morning. A strong solution of sea salt (or even common table salt) in water should be kept in a bottle, and when needed, a sufficient quantity diluted with warm water so that the liquid will have only a slightly salt taste. A large glassful is sufficient, and the salted water should be used at blood heat. It can be used at any time, though it is best to take it just before retiring, and immediately upon rising in the morning, but never just before going out-of-doors.—From “Sanitarian,” in Demorest’s Magazine for February. A FIRE. Last Saturday night about nine o’clock, during the cold and _stormy weather, Harvey Segur re’urned home from choir practice to find bis house on fire. With the help of his family he tried to put it out, and for a time thought they had it under control, but the fire being between the upper floor and the ceiling broke out anew, and to save the building was out of the ques tion, so the they went to work to save what furniture they could which was but a very small amount. During all this time they were calling for help, but owing to the severe storm that was raging at the time but f€w-people were out. Soon the imuiediate neighbors seeing the fire came to their aid, but too late to be of much help. The fire department responded but they too were too late to be of much service. It took but a short time until’the building was burned to the ground. Some of the goods carried our were afterwards badly damaged by the onlookers standing on them to keep their feet warm. The fire was caused by a defective flue. "The house was insured for S9OO and the furniture for $l5O. Such a night as last Saturday night was a terrible one to be turned out of the house, but kind neighbors soon had. them carefully cared for, for which the family returns ttyeir sincere thanks.
