Washington," Jan. 30. Numerous petitions and remonstrances against the various features of the Wilson Tariff bill were presented inT the Senate to-day. Among them was one - from the repre sentatives fJJOflL. woollen goods manu factories la twenty-six States and,, one Territory, presented by Senator Aldricn, representing that the passage of the bill would be greatly detrimental, to tne in terests of the country at large and disas trous to their particular-industry. The resolution " offered yesterday by Senator Stewart declaring that the pro posed issue of bonds is-without authority of law, was laid before the -Senate and Senator Stewart spoke on it. He argued that there was no necessity . for the pro posed issue of bonds, and if the necessity did exist; there was no authority in law for applying the proceeds of a bond issue to general expense of the Govern ment. ' Senator Sherman regretted very much that, pending a call for a loan, anybody should be found to question the author ity for it, unless the grounds for such question were clear and undoubted. It seemed to' him that it was neither right, expedient, proper nor justifiable to make any assault on the credit of the Govern ment and on the power sought to be ex ercised by the Government. He would sav that it was almost unpatriotic to do so at a time when the revenues of the Government were plainly insufficient to cover its expenditures under appropria tions made by law. Without regard to uartv feeling, he felt like standing up for the honor of the country and for the power proposed to be exercised by the Secretary of the Treasury. The resolu tion asserted that the Secretary had no money received from bonds shall be ap pliedonly to the redemption of the legal tender notes of the United States pre sented at the sub-treasurj m the city of New York. , -" .. - - '-i-r--- '--.C Senator DuBois moved, as a substitute for the resolution, the one reported in the. House from the Committee on Bank ing arid Currency. . ' -- Senator bherman remarked tnat ne approved of that resolution because it recognized the fulf authority of the Sec retary of the Treasury to sell oonos -roc redemption purposes and declared that the money received from bonds, should not De used ror other purposes. - At a o clocfc the Election mil was taxen up and the bond matter went tjver. As the outgrowth of colloauv - between Senators Gray, Hoar and Chandler, it was agreed tht general debate on the Federal Election bill should -Cease at 4 o'clock p. m. Tuesday next, -at which time debate should behad under the five minutes rule and proceed until the bill was disposed of. : : r. t Senator Chandler offered two amend ment to the Repeal bill, the first provid ing that the flag of the United States and the words "for Representative in Congress" should be Btampecton jevery bosffor Comrretsionat ballots in the weo 040 the States and providing that a penalty of l00 fine or thirty ; days im prisonment, oy both shalt be imposed for any violation of ,.this provision. The second ' amendment requires ' election judges to make up and publicly declare the result of the Congressional vote im mediately after the close of the polls. L Senator Turpie took the floor against the election law repeal and held it until 3:55 o'clock when the Senate went 'into executive session. At 4:15 o'clock the Senate adjourned. BROUGHT TO HIS 3EN8E3 SHOTS FROM OUR FLAG SHIP ! AT RIO HAVE GOOD EFFECT. 7 HOtTSE OF REPEESENTATIVES.. ; - The House -very promptly went into Committee of the Whole to consider the Tariff bill this morning. The considera tion of the Income Tax bill wa resumed and Mr. Covert took ' up the thread of his argument against it, at the point where he dropped it yesterday when the House took a recess. He declared that the bill was sectional in its provisions and would bear .with particular severity on the North and East. Mr. iJartlett. Democrat, oi JNew xorx, in denouncing it said it was proposed by a branch of the Democratic party which affiliated with the Populist party and de manded the free coinage or both gold and silver at its present ratio. Mr. Peace, the Populist member rrom Colorado, delivered a stirring and rmg- the bill aa a PoDulist measure. He ad mitted that in the Omaha) convention the Pooulist party had declared for a graduated income tax, and that platform he proposed in line with to offer an amendment to that end when the bill He f ayored of the North Carolina Railway .company meet to-morrow to declare a semi-annual divi dend of 3 per cent. j The Most, Gorgeous Treasures of I '..

You perused this favorite story of yours in llA..ni?W whenii bov. and your Hon pictured brilliantly for power to sell bonds for -the maintenance of ThSe preceding speaker had characterized SDecie payment. That was a simple legal Sw oo, vr proposition which could be decided, yea or nay, very quickly. , He should show that, by the law as it now stood, that power was given in the clearest, strong est and most direct language that could be used by man language that had been used after a three years debate in the Senate and House that-had been framed bv the ablest men in both bodies. It had stood unchallenged and uncontradicted from that day until a few days ago, when the Senator from. Nebraska (Allen) offered a resolution , denying the power of . the Secretary to ) execute it. "And now," said Senator Sherman, passionately, 4 'at the very time that the bidders are preparing their bids for the purchase of these bonds, we are met by this allegation and this resolution on the floor of the Senate, and no one has risen to defend the power of the Government to maintain its credit jmtact. It seems to me, therefore, that I only do my duty to the public at large, by giving the exact condition of the law on the subject,.so that no one Can question it or gainsay it. The question is: Has the Secretary of the Treasury any power to sell bonds for redemption purposes? That is the only question." Senator ' Sherman proceeded, there upon, to quote from the resumption act of January 14, 1875, a provision that on and after thejfirst of Jannary 1879,the Sec retary of the Treasury shall redeem in coin United States legal tender notes then outstanding, on their presentation at. the office of the assistant treasurer of the United States in INew orit m sums not less than $50. He repeated, and laid much stress upon the words: "On and after," and denned them as mean ing "while time lasts," unles Congress should phange or modify that law. The plain declaration was, he said, that it was a continuous law. And it had never been denied or questioned that it was a continuous law, and that it was now in full force. Under it it was the Dlain and palpable . duty of the Sec retary of the Treasury, to redeem every United States note presented. How? Not out of ma own poctet. mot Dy is suing some other promise to pay. But the law went on and provided that: "To enable the Secretary of the Treasury to prepare and provide for the redemption in this act authorized and required, he is authorized to use any surplus revenue from time to time in tne ireasury jr. said Senator Sherman, that the thing is continuous "not otherwise ap propriated, and to issue, sell and dispose of. at not less than par in coin, either of the description of bonds described in the act." (The refunding act.) Then he began to speak of the reserve fund and to trace its history. "Here," he said, o fTifi rmatf d bv the sale of bonds. The proceeds of that sale were tojjeheld for no other purpose. Here is another declaration made six years afterwards that if the reserve shall fall below $100,- 000 000, then the Government snan ibbuo no 'more gold certificates, because the issue of gold certificates would be an in ducement to the holders of them to con vert them into gold. So that this fund, from the beginning, and fromthe passage of the law to this hour, has been betaken for any other purpose except what the law provided. This -fund re mained intact until the 4th of March, 1893 and for sometimes afterwards. 1 do not wish to go into the question as to whether the Secretary of theTreaury had the right to use any portaon of the money for the purpose of meeting a deh Sency in the treasury.

It had been claimed on the opposite side of the House that there was a defection in the ranks of the West Virginia delegation, but he posi tively affirmed that while the Wilson bill bore somewhat heavily on the prod ucts of his State, that when the time came for a final vote not a single South ern Democrat would be found lurking in. the camp of the enemy. -; Mr. Johnson, Democrat, of Ohio, de voted himself to an - elaboration of his free trade and single taxtheories, the latter presenting, he said, the only solu tion to the labor question. He would vote for the income tax but he should do it under protest and as the lesser of two evils. . Mr. Simpson, Populist, of Kansas, said that the income tax had been sneered at as a Populist measure; but while the members of that party on the floor were few, and were despised on the Demo cratic side and despised on the Republi can side, he predicted that, sooner or later," the time would come when the doctrine of the Populists would be advo cated because they are right. Mr. Cbckran's objections to an income tax were many and varied. It would be class taxation and, as such, a blow at tv fundamental Drincime on which the Government was founded. It would be inquisitorial and hence iniquitous. He believed the rich men favored it because they would thereby ultimately gain a larger control of the Government than they enjoy to-day. He quoted Democratic authority against tne proposeu ia su among other thing3 said Alexander H. Stephens, of Georgia, declared an inter nal revenue tax indefensible in this country. Mr. McMillin Does the gentleman from New York advocate, now and here, the repeal of all internal revenue taxes? Mr. Cockran If that proposition was before the House I would not hesitate to say yes not a moment. I would, be glad to see every gauger and . internal revenue collector in the country turned nfHrtA. I have always believed that the duty of this people is to support its Government by a tariff levied for revenue only. . - : - v Mr. Bryan, Democrat, or JNeorasua, rose to " reply. He complimented the eloquence of Mr. Cockran, but said the objections urged against the income tax are more numerous than weighty. Some have denied the constitutionality of the but the Supreme court set tled the question beyond controversy in the Springer case. A very few : have denied the justice of an income-tax.

Whereupon Admiral - Benham fired . several shots acrosshe bows of Da. Gama's flagship. It ia understood that this action was salutary and that the matter ended at that point. It is believed at the State Department that Da Gama would not willingly court an engagement with the American naval lorces. inis in unei, is the dispatch, so it is said. The com plications that may follow are regarded as likely to be serious.1 Our. fleet at ; Rio is, of course, much stronger than that of the ' rebel admiral and it is likely that the matter will add to the number of his assailants by engaging in a conflict with Admiral Benham. Additional cables were received Jfrom Rio, but they were taken to the White House direct. After the Uaomet meeting Secretary Herbert positively denied the rumors circulated that Admiral Da Gama had surrendered to Admiral Ben ham, but declined to give further infor mation.
