to Prevent the Tariff BUI Beine3
' Taken Up Democratic Opposi
tion to That Measure and
the Income Tax A Pira
tical Attack on a
iV( Vessel.
.Washington, Jan. 4. Win. D. Cox,
managing owner and master of the
"chooner Little Will, has written the
"treasury Department from Crisfield, Md.,
complaining that on December 5th, while
peaceably going up Pacomoke,ound on
his way home, he was attacked by a
piratical crew of at least twenty men in
two canoes, jwho fired from 300 to 500
times at his vessel. Edward Marshall,
of Crisfield, one of the men on his vessel,
was instantly: killed. Among the attach
ing party Mr. Cox says he recognized
the following named persons, who belong
to Saxe's, Island, AcComac county, Va.:
John H. Marshall, James Weaver, Wm"
Linton k and John. Druer.- There were
others whom he recognized whose names
he did not know. Mr. Cox says he thinks
he is entitled , to protection under his
coasting license issued at Crisfield and
asks that the matter be investigated. The
collector at Crisfield, in transmitting the
letter, says the body of the dead man
was landed at Crisheld and asks that the
case be investigated.
The failure to establish a quorum in
the House tms atternoon was due in
part to the refusal of certain Democratic
representatives to respond when their
names were called. Some of the gentle
men were in their seat?; others loitered
about the corridors while the roll call
was in progress, while others again
quietly absented themselves from the
House when the session began and re
mained absent during the afternoon. It
is significant that all of these gentlemen,
with possibly one or two exceptions, are
dissatisfied with the Tar if! bill. There was
not, so far as can be learned, however,
any concert of action among them to
break a quorum through failure to an
swer to their names. One of the number,
a prominent Eastern Democrat, said
am opposed to the Tariff bill, and if such
a thing were possible, l "am even more
opposed to the income tax as reported by
the Ways and Means committee. I think
the longer the consideration of the Tariff
bill is delayed the worse it will be for the
bill. That is why I am unwilling to vote
to make a quorum. I understand that it
is a purpose of the committee to incor
porate the income tax in the Tariff bill
without accompanying it by a report
showing the amount of revenue which
will be collected and the manner of col
lection. That is not the proper way to
deal with a question so important. I un
derstand the committee have no reliable
data showing the amount of the tax to
be collected, and Lthink it is better to
wait until this has been laid before us."
Mr. Haines, of New York, is another
Democratic member of the House who is
dissatisfied with the bill. He is one of
the Representatives who was conspicu
ously absent during the roll call,
although he was in and about; the House
during the day. . He regards the income
tax as part of a plan to divert; public at
tention from the . Tariff bill. He said
this afternoon that he did hot believe
that feature of the bill would pass tne
House, nor in his judgment .Aid he be
lieve the Ways and Means committee
expected it to pass. He thinks that
public sentiment win conaemn me in
come tax so strongly that it will fail to
become a law, and that a duty of 1 cent
per pound will be laid on sugar to com
pensate for the loss of revenue that
would result irom a iauare io levy a a
per cent, tax on incomes.
Wnue no iormai agreement naa ueeii
made to that effect.Chairman Wilson, of
the Committee on Ways and Means,
says the Democratic members of the
committee have expressed the opinion
that it would be well for them to retrain
from taking part in the general debate.
Of course 'Mr. Wilson will open the debate
in' a! general statement, in accordance
with the general understanding on the
subject. - "The members of the commit
tee will defend the provisions of the bill
in the course ot tne nye mmuie aeoaus,
but they, are so anxious, said Mr. Wilson,
to expedite the passage of the bill that
they will probably not deliver formal
speeces in its support." . 1 .
"Will the bill be voted on the ' 22nd? "
was asked.
"We want to reach a vote at about that
date," was Mr. "Wilson's response, "but
there are so niany contingencies which

Stocks anl Bonds in New York-

of Chicafio.
New York, Jan. 4. The Wall street
markets were decidedly stronger to-day.
Bad news was practically ignored and
even the loss in St. Paul earnings for the
fourth "week: of December of $218,800
and for the month of $757,444 was with
out effect. The' rise can onlv be ex
plained by the fact that the ,prof essional
element for some reason has become im
bued with the idea that the bear cam
paign had come to an end. In some
quarters it is confidently believed that
any attembt to make radical changes in
the tariff will be checkmated. This, it is
argued by those favoring higher prices,
meanj an improvement in the stock
market, and as a result they started to
discount the good effects to-day. ; The
covering movement was more pro
nounced than on yesterday, although at
the close the leading stocks could be ob
tained at rates considerably below yes
terday's figures. The improvement
ranged from $ to 3 per cent, and was
unusually well distributed. General

Chicago, Jan. "4. The bulls have all
a ong buoyed up their jcourage by
q loting the adage: tit's a long lane
tmat has no turning." To-day seemed to
.be the turning point. Under the influ
ence of the encouraging rnews with
which the air was riffe the wheat market
scored a net gain of li to lc. The open
ing was about to ic higher than yester
day's close, weakened and declined f to
ic, became 'strong . and advanced lfc,
receding slightly and closing as above.
Corn was fairly active and firm. Price
changes followed those of wheat, the
opening figures being at a slight ad
vance over yesterday's close, -eased off
i to ic, rallied f to ic and the close was
about f c better than yesterday.
Oats were active and firm. The mar
ket advanced steadily from the opening
and at the close showed a net advance
ofUtofc.
In provisions encouraging reports from
the yards, which -said that all parties
wre buying live hogs and that prices
were higher, was the reaisen' for a good
healthy opening to the product! "Prices
ruled firm all day, the strength in wheat
no doubt having a great deal to do with
the speculative advance in the market.

SENATE.
Washington, Jan. 4. The attendance
of Senators at the opening of to-day's
session was very slim, the Republican
side of the Chamberheing more fully
represented, however, than the Demo
cratic side. ' ;
A resolution was offered by Senator
Hoar calling on the. Secretary of the
Treasury for a statement of the sums
paid to Mr. Blount for salary, services or
other expenses as special commissioner
to Hawaii, together with copies of all
vouchers and receipts therefor; also for
information as to the fund from which
and thff law under which each pay meet
was made. " . .
"Let that resolution lie over," said
Senator Gorman, and the resolution
went over till Monday. '
.' After some unimportant business Sen
ator Gray moved to proceed to the con
sideration of the House bill to repeal all
statutes relating to supervisors of elec
tions, and special deputy marshals. He
yielded, however, to the suggestion of
Senator Chandler to let the bill go over
till Monday Senator Chandler stating
that the views of the hainority of the
committee had not yet been presented
Senator Gray suggested, in a painful
manner, that perhaps Senator Hoar, who
had taken part in the colloquy, might
have religious scruples about transacting
business on "Jackson Day" Monday be

"Well,", said Senator Hoar, "I should

Arrangements for the Prize Fifiht.
Jacksonville, June 4. In spite of
the fact that the Athletic club says the
contest will occur in Jacksonville, no one
believes it. If the men ever come to
gether on Florida soil they are likely to
meet out in the woods, -as did Sullivan
and Kilrain. It is believed that the talk
of the club about being confident that
the men will meet in Jacksonville is only
a blind to conceal preparations which
are being secretly made to bring Mitchell
and Corbett together in some place where
thje strong arm' of the Governor cannot
easily mterteres inai piaca wiu eimer
Sn Duval county, where Jacksonville
islsituated, or m St. Johns, the chief city
of) which is St.! Augustine. Of course no
inkling can be gained as to the spot se
lected, as the success of the plan depends
upon secrecy.
llh confirmation of the statement that
thei club is preparing to pull off the con
test inthe woods, the Southern Associ
ated correspondent has just learned from
a reliable source that W. A. Brady,
manager tot Corbett, filed to-night dis
patches to the ; New York' Herald and
San Francisco;, Examiner stating that
the managers! of the Duval Athletic
club had already taken the initial-step
to charter trains out of Jacksonville.
The trains will be at the club's disposal
foi twenty-four hours before and after
Jahuary 25th, the day set for the contest.
The club people propose to make the
transportation rate a pretty stiff one and
thus hope to financially save themselves.
They think that with' such trains at their
disposal and a spot selected for the fight
known only to a faithful few, they can
bring the men together in the presence
of a large crowd and that the battle will
be foueht and won before Governor
Mitchell can get the militia on the scene,
Governor Mitchell, however, is what
is known in the "lingo" of "crackers" as
' -bull-headed" and as he has- already
tripped up the club he may succeeded in
dqing so again; It is said that Bra dy ,
in! his dispatches to the papers; men
tioned, stated positively that everything

d come together unless tne n,ngiisn-
man showed the white feather.

laws of the country in all parts of the
Union and in the matter pf his very wise

may be very good on everybody if, we

"Then I give notive," rsaid Senator
Gray, "that on Tuesday, rimmediately
after the morning business, I will move
to proceed to the consideration of the
bill to repeal the Federal election laws
and to continue its consideration until a
conclusion is reached." , '
At 1 o'clock p. m. the Senate proceeded

t HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. ,
1 An air of expectant activity pervaded
the House when it convened this morn
ins and a determination was manifested
on the, Democratic side to any things in
its own way to-day,
Mr. Boutelle's success in tying up ilie
House yesterday afternoon: appeared to
have borne fruit and the Democrats
seemed to think that they had a quorum
of their own. Immediately after the
reading of yesterday's journal and be
fore the beginning of the first morning
hour Mr. Boutelle again attempted to
get his Hawaiian resolution before the
House.
I The Speaker ruled that the motion to
consider the resolution which was pend
ing yesterdajr had expired when the
House adjourned yesterday and might
(he suggested) be renewed. The call of
committees was then completed without
producing any results.
Mr. Boutelle then called up and had
read his resolution reciting that the
executive had invaded the rights and
privileges of Congress, and asked for its
immediate consideration. -
j This was the signal for a short but
exciting set-to between Messrs. Boutelle
and McMillin. The latter raised the
question of consideration in favor of the
Tariff bill. . .
Mr. Boutelle inquired whether it was
a proper procedure to state for what pur
pose a question of consideration was
raised.
Mr. McMillin replied that he simply
desired to be candid with -the gentleman
from Maine and had stated his reasons
for objecting to the consideration of the
resolution.
I Mr. Boutelle declared that the gentle
man from Tennessee had gone beyond
his parliamentary rights and he wished
to call him to order, i.
