CONGRESS YESTERDAY.

Populist Doctrines Compared With Those of Other Parties.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.—The senate yesterday gave the day to further speeches, iu which the income tax served as a text for a wide range of discussion on the tariff, the currency aud the Populist platform. Mr. Hill's proposition, made last week, to amend the deficiency bill so that the income tax would be tested in the courts, has apparently started an inexhaustible flow of speeches on public affairs in general. Mr. Cockrell, in charge of the deficiency bill, has sought vainly to secure a vote on the Hill amendment, so that the deficiency bill might move along to final passage. He hopes to secure action today, but the speeches of Mr. Call of Florida and Allen of Nebraska made this impossible.

Mr. Allen took occasion to defend the Populist party against many charges made in and out of congress that it was a party of vagaries. It led to a very full discussion of all Populist doctrine and a comparison of them with the doctrines of other parties.

House.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.—The day in the house was devoted after the morning hour to the Indian appropriation bill, but no progress was made before adjournment.

General Grosvenor presented a reply to a memorial sent to the judiciary committee by Mr. Ritchie of Akron, O., containing supplementary charges against Judge Ricks and involving exSenator H. B. Payne and Judge Stevenson Burke. He asked for an investigation of the charges.

DETERMINED TO ORGANIZE.

The Homestead Workmen Will Hold Another Meeting Tonight.

PITTSBURG, Jan. 16.—The wholesale discharge of workmen by the Carnegie company at Homestead for attending the meeting on Sunday has, instead of checking organization among the men, aroused a feeling of resentment that bids fair to bear fruit this evening, when another massmeeting will be held in the opera house. The excitement is intense and the action of the company, which is termed un-American, is denounced on all sides. The meeting will be addressed by President Garland and other prominent men. The 100 discharged men are encouraged in the belief that a powerful organization will be affected soon, and another strike inaugurated but this, to an outsider, looks very improbable. No more discharges were made at the mill yesterday, but the officials have the names of at least 150 who attended Sunday's meeting. They will be dealt with as the others were, Bhould no cause arise.

Several Drowned.

GALVESTON, Jan. 16.—A special to The Tribune from Yelasco says it is now definitely known that Captain Fred A. Brock and his wife and two children of Galveston, with several members of the crew on the dredgeboat Mount Waldo, which Captain Brock was bringing from Tamico to Velasco, were drowned in the lifeboat which they took to escape from the dread storm a few hours out from Tampico Tuesday night.

Wants ltjriics to liemain.

NEW YORK, Jan. 16.—Mayor Strong has asked Superintendent Byrnes to remain at the head of the police department of this city. The mayor yesterday sent a letter to the superintendent, referring to his long and honorable service and the probability of legislation at Albany, which will necessitate changes in the department and returning Byrnes' letter.

Xlie Gorge Broken.

CLARKSBURG, W. Ya., Jan. 16.— There has been a heavy .freshet in the west fork of the Monongahela river, which took out the ice that was gorged for a mile. For some time it was believed that the bridge would be taken out at this city crossing Elk creek. The damage along the river and creek is very great, and can not be estimated.

Two Live# Were Lost,

OWENSBOKO, Ky., Jan. 16.—The towboat Boaz and five barges of coal have been recovered. Most of the men escaped and stayed in the woods. Two men passed here early yesterday on the drift and have not been seen since. Half a million bushels of coal are in the bottom of the river. The loss is about $60,000.

Killed by a ltoy.

HINTON, W. Va., Jan. 16.—News has reached here of the killing of J. H. Hudson, one of tlie best known citizens of Monroe county, by Osborne Garten, a school boy, aged 16. They quarreled about Hudson's daughter, with whom young Garten was in love. Hudson attacked the young man and was stabbed.

West Virginia Declines.

CHARLESTON, W. Ya., Jan. 16.—The house of delegates yesterday adopted a resolution declining to treat with the commission appointed under a joint resolution adopted by the Virginia legislature looking to the settlement of the debt question on the basis set forth by the legislature of Virginia.
