Republicans Refuse to Vote When Called Upon. I QUORUM IS EXPECTED TODAY. Washington, Jan. 3.— There was not a very brilliant setting for the open ing of the tariff debate in the house this morning. lieu Speaker Crisp mounted Ihe rostrum at high noon and rapped ;he house to order, there were many vacant seats in the public gallery. The press gallery, overhanging the speaker's chair, however, was lined with news paper correspondents. Ou the floor there was considerable animation. Ex- Speaker Reed, Mr. Burrows, Mr. Dal/ell and other Republican leaders were con ferring earnestly, and on the Demo cratic side each member of the ways and means committee was surrounded by a group of his colleagues. There was much uncertainty as to the tactics which the Republicans would pursue, the suspicion being that at the very outset the Republicans would lay every obstruction in the path of the tatiff, and that the iirst step in the pro j-ramme would be to Insist upon a Democratic quorum. To prevent such a move from being successful, the Dem ocratic whips were instructed to have every Democrat present when the vote was taken. After prayer by the chaplain and reading of the journal, some PRELIMINARY BUSINESS intervened. The resignations of Col. Fellows and Mr. Fitch, of New York, who have been elected respectively dis trict attorney and controller of New York, were read, and the speaker also presented the credentials of Mr. Adams, of Pennsylvania, who has been elected to succeed the late Mr. O'Neill. The light then began, Mr. Boutelle, on behalf of the Republicans, putting forward the Hawaiian matter to antag onize the tariff bill. Mi. McCreary, chairman of the foreign affairs commit tee, sought to avoid this by making an arrangement by which Friday and Sat urday of this week should be set aside for the consideration of the resolution reported by the foreign affairs commit tee in lieu of the Ilitt and Boutelle res olutions. Mr. Ilitt. of. the minority for eign affairs coimrittee, was on his feet, and as soon as Mr. McCreary had made his proposition he stated .that. Inasmuch as this proposition gave the Republicans substantially what they desired, namely, a. time fixed for debate of the Hawaiian" matter, he would-be GLAD TO ACCEPT IT. Mr. Boutelle, during this colloquy, was also on his feet, clamoring for rec ognition, and before Mr. Ilitt had hardly concluded his statement, he sail: "Mr. Speaker, I desire to call up as a question of privilege the resolution introduced by myself, reciting that the rights and liberties of the house have been invaded by the executive." Immediately a dozen Democrats begau protesting. Mr. Bland, of Mis souri, wanted to raise the question of consideration, and Gen. Wheeler, of Alaoama, demanded the regular order, which, lie insisted, was the admission of New Mexico. Speaker Crisp silenced the turbulence by a few sharp raps of tbe gavel, after which he. said he de sired to look into the status of the reso lution. While this question was being examined Mr. McMill in asked incident ally whether it would be in order to raise the question of consideration, with a view of going ahead with the' tariff bill. "Certainly," replied the speaker. During the lull that followed Mr. Boutelle again made a statement which called forth A SHARP REBUKE from the speaker, who informed the gentleman from Maine, with some mani festation of temper, that tliere was no occasion for precipitancy. Mr. Boutelle would not remain silent, and again the speaker rapped him to order. "If the gentleman will only possess himself," said he, "the chair will try to state the status of the resolution." He went on to explain that the resolu tion had gone to the committee on for eign affairs aud had been reported back with the recommendation that it lie on the table, a substitute being offered in its stead. Mr. Turner, of Georgia, made the point that the substitute having gone to the calendar its privilege had been lost; but the speaker, after citing several decisions, held that inasmuch as the Boutelle resolution was on the speaker's table, it had not lost its privi lege. Mr. McMillin thereupon raised the question of consideration against it, and after some further wrangling the vote was taken. The Republicans KEF USED TO VOTE when their names were called. While the roll call was proceeding Chairman Wilson came in from the house lobby and quietly took his seat. A few sprays of lilies of the valley lay on his desk. Several members came up and shook hands with him, and Mr. Richardson, of Tennessee, who is to be chairman of the committee of the whole during the tariff debate, held a brief consultation with him before the call was finished. The vote resulted 135 to 3, the Demo crats lacking exactly forty of a quorum. With evidences of intense satisfac tion the ' Republicans heard the an nouncement, and Mr. Boutelle prompt made the point of no quorum. The Democrats were generally disappointed not to muster a quorum to go ahead with the all-important tariff bebate, but they ' were " left no alterna- tive, and Mr. McMillin moved a call of the house, on which the Repub licans responded to their names, and the call developed the presence of 200 members. Mr. McMillin then offered a resolution to revoke all leaves of ao wiice, arid" instructing the aergeaut-at DAILY ST. PAUL GLOBE. arms to notify all absentees by tele graph that public business was sus pended aud requesting their immediate presence. Mr. Heard, of Missouri, ex pressed a desire to amend the resolu tion so as to exclude from its operation alt those detained by sickness. M. Mc- Millin responded that he bad no Idea that the resolution would be vigorously enforced as regards sick members. The vole was then taken first by tellers, and subsequently by a yea and nay vote. The house adjourned at 2 p. in. for lack of a quorum. FLOWERS \VI.RK SCARCE. A Dull Day at the Senate Yester day. Washington, Jan. 3.— When the vice president rapped the senate to order, at 12 o'clock today hardly a score of sen ators were in their seats, and it was some time later before the presence of a quorum could have been demon strated. The floral offerings of the new year were not numerous. A lux uriant bouquet adorned the desk ot Vice President Steveusou, but he appeared to be the only one in the senate receiv ing this mark of favor. Among the first appear on the floor was Senator Hill, of New I'erk, and he was shortly joined by Senators Voorhees of Indiana; Allison, of lowa, and Mills, of Texas. Immediately after the resd of the journal Senator Blackburn, of Kentucky, presented the credentials of Senator Eppa Hunton, of Virginia, aud the oath of office was administered to the new senator. Senator Frye, of Maine, presented a resolution declaring that in the opinion of the senate during the investigation of the committee on foreign relations ot our relations with Hawaii, there should be no interference on the part of the United States by moral influence or physical force for the restoration of Queen Liliuokalani or the maintenance of the provisional government of the Hawaiian islands, and that naval forces should be used iv the islands only for tho protection of the lives and property of American citizens. He asked that the resolution lie upon the table for the present, and stated that he would later ask its reference to the committee on foreign relations. The resolution occa sioned manifestations of interest and will doubtless soon become the subject of discussion. Senator Hill presented a bill limiting the effects of the regulation of com merce between the several states and with foreign countries. A bill called up by Senator Pugh, of Alabama, for the relief of certain aliens who had acquired property in the dis trict occasioned much discussion, as it developed the fact that aliaens were in competent to hold property in the Dis trict of Columbia. Senator Harris, of Tennessee, thought the present law was obnoxious, and that a general bill should be introduced permitting aliens to hold property in . the ; district. Issue on this poiut was promptly taken by Senator Cockrell, of Missouri, who ap proved the present law, and said he hoped the time would never come when aliens could hold property in the Dis trict of Columbia. After some further discussion, Senator Harris withdrew his objections, and tho bill was passed, it being lor the relief of David B. God well, and legalizing his ownership of real estate in the district. 777.' On motion of Senator Gorman the senate went into executive session, and at the conclusion of the executive ses sion adjourned. GROW FOR CONGRESS. Keystone . Republicans . Meet in State Convention.

This was gutted by the flames within a few min utes. The next building southward was the wholesale drug house of West & Truax, which is also a total loss. A strong fire wall checked the flames In this direction. To the west tliey leaped across Summit street, the chief retail street of the city, injuring the Hartford block, but the fire was here checked without great damage. In the rear of this building is the office of the Postal Telegtaph company, the *nana_er of which removed alt th. apparatus pos sible, thus cutting off all telegraphic communication for a time, as the West ern Union office and instruments were destroyed in toto.

Duf/iJTH, Minn., "Jan. 3.— There was launched at • Cleveland ' today the finest merchant steamship ever r turned, out of an American shipyard, on salt or fresh water, and, most appropriate^ she is to be named '"North America." The vessel is . the 7: first ''of a passe fleet building to the' order of the Great Northern railway, that is designed to revolutionize the travel the"*" Great lakes. * For years the* freight traffic of the Northern lakes has been carried on better arid better ships, until now : these boats are in every point the peer, if not the superior, of the freight carriers of any other 7, nation. or v waters. But the passenger fleet did not ad* vance; the boats built in the early *70s were deemed good enough, and for the long trip between the head of Lake Su perior and the foot' or Lake Erie, boats making the run in five days, accommo dating comfortably scarcely more than 100 passengers, and carried on in the methods, of .years" ago, have been the best to be had. The North America and her consort, the Northwest, which j will be launched in a few weeks, are ■ 383 ftet long, 44 feet wide and- 26 feet' deep.

His front office, was besieged, and after -numerous requests for an audience he sent out the following: 7 • "This talk about Mrs. Lease and Gov. Lewelling is getting to be a chestnut. The people don't-care very much about individuals. No man or woman is erea'er than the party he represents, i and Populists in particular are looking for good government more than to up hold any man or "woman. Half that is published about current politics in Kan sas is false, and made from whole cloth.

Who goes up or who goes down in politics makes very little difference if the heaven-inspired princi ples of truth still go marching forward. The lender "of today is 'the follower of tomorrow.

Miir^m in ii i huh liiwawn HiUiwim^jLl. --.] McMillin Outlines the Salient Features of the Bill —No Trouble in Collecting the Tax, and Impossible to Tax a Man' Twice" — More Men Driving Drays Than Receiving In comes. Washington. Jan. 3.— Representative McMillin, chairman of the. subcommit tee in charge of the internal revenue 1 feature ot the tariff bill, outlined to an Associated Press reporter today the salient feature of the income tax meas ure, which he expects to complete iv a day or two. lie said: ': [?:] C "The corporation part of the measure will not require an inquisition on every individual to determine what amount of corporate stock he holds, but the assess ment will be made against anil paid by the corporations in the first instance, and hence a man holding corporate stock will not be worried by assessors until he is subject to an individual in come tax. The corporation will pay the tax of each of its incorporators, and will in turn charge it up against them. But they prevent taxing a man twice. If a cor poration pays for an incorporator on the dividends he would derive, he in turn is accredited with that amount in as sessing his general income for taxatiou. As to foreigners and foreign associa tions holding interest-bearing securities in this country, they will be assessed the same as our own citizens. It will not be necessary to go abroad in order to ascertain these investments, as the assessment against the corporation will cover all of its stockholders, foreign as well as domestic. The collect-on of the tax will be in the hands of the internal revenue bureau. It will not necessitate the appointment of new tax collectors In the various states, but a few addi tional assessors and deputies will be required to work under the present levenue collectors. It should be under stood that the tax will be confined to about 85,003 people, according to esti mates furnished me by the treasury de partment; so that no large force will be necessary to keep track of such a com paratively small class. • The individuals taxed will number uot more than one third as many men as were taxed under the old Income tax law." 77 Mr. McMillin says the bill will pro vide means for compelling disclosures as to incomes, somewhat similar to the methods used by ■ :ver_.. cl the states.

An Agreement Should Be Made Before Season Opens. Washington. Jan. 3.— The secretary of state and the British ambassador are pursuing negotiations for an agreement upon regulations to police Behring sea. It is important that these regulations should be agreed upon before the open ing of the sealing season. The formali ties to be gone through between the two governments will inevitably consume much time. The. navy department is apprehending some embarrassment in supplying sufficient vessels of the small class required to do the work of patrol ling the territory designated by the tribunal at Paris. When it was fonnd necessary to police Behring sea before, the treasury department had to be called upon for revenue cutters to aid in the work temporarily. They cai. nut well be spare i for permanent use in that work. No active steps have been taken toward the preparation of a patrol fleet. '•'.:'.- THE ST.. CLOUD PLUMS.

THE PRIDE OF MIDWAY PLAISANCB Come to Grief and Blows in St Louis. ATTEMPT TO WRECK A TRAIN. Bei.videre, Ills., Jan. 3.— One of the boldest and most daring pieces of safe blowing and bank robbing ever perpe trated in Northern Illinois was com mitted at the little town of Franklin Grove, in Lee counry, some time last night, by which the Franklin Grove bank, operating under the state laws, was looted of nearly "*35,000 in cash and valuable papers. The robbers, after completing their clever job, got out of town as quietly as they came and left no trace behind by which their identity can easily be discovered. Nothing was known ol the robbery until the bank officials came down to open the concern for business this morning. On entering the bank they were startled to find the vault doors open, papers strewn about the floor and everything in general confusion. The re port of the bold robbery quickly spread about the ordinarily quiet little village, and all kinds of rumors were afloat as to the amount the bank had been plundered out of. The bank offi cials at once closed the doors and re fused to make a statement as to the amount of their loss. They immediately wired to Chicago for detectives to be planed ou the case, aud, uutil they have investigated the matter, will firmly refuse to make a state ment to the public. The bank is me of the most solid of its kind in this section, however, and is the despository for many of the" wealthy farmers of Leo county. The deposits, averaging over *?50,0J0, are heavier than that of late. Those in a position to know say the loss is nearly J35.000. The robbers took everything in the safe which was inside the vault. No one in the village heard the report when the safe was blown open, and, as the town has no police, the robbers easily got away with the plunder. The. greatest of excitement prevails. -./" .v-7'.;7 7* '-" THE PRIDE OF.MIDWAY*. Comes to Grief and Blows in St. * ; 'tsn; »■-',-• Louis. .---.. . . *; St. Louis. Jan.
