^V'a.^ilneton, Jan. 14.—After the rou

ilcienoy bill was takon up. the ques>
L ;,e iunendmenit offered by him to au
thorize the United States courts to
iv ar and determine questions as to tihe
0 , n stUutlonality and validity of the
iiK’irme ‘tax. ^enatAr Stewart took the
ji, kV and concluded ills speech begun
Saturday—* free silver speech. x
Senator Gorman next addressed the
senate. The pending proposition wa8,
he said. a simple and plain one. An
appropriation 'bill was before the sen-
ute j>r>vidlns for deficiencies, among
them t»» enable rhe secretary of the
treasury to carry out the law for the
collection of an income 'tax.
••Out what the senator from New
York desires," Mr. Gorman continued,
• is a provision, separate and distinct—
an exception In this cane—a provision
that would •mable any tax-<uayor to
suspend lll<J inic< >mo tax so as by in
junction to reverse the rule, and to .pre
vent the money coming Into the treae-
until every question that migirt be
raised by wary unwilling tax-payer
should bo decided fby the supreme court

TARIFF RBVilSiON.
• There never was a more hazardous
iertuking than that of revising the
lit law at the lime the Democratic
rty undertook it. The bill was a
• iipromlse measure; and no bill could
iv»* nassed the senate except by a

an ’l a t Mr. Gorman with having
5gp°f®« such a change, which would,
eald, "have enabled! us to pro
vide the necessary revenue for the *w

continued, "tliat It Is

oft referred contemptuously to "the ex
hibition much the senator from Mary
land today, turning round to his Re
publican friends and appealing to them
In a piteous manner to come and save
this side of the chamber." (Laughter
in the galleries.)
"I do not," Mr. HKil said, “Join in
any sucii appeal. I would appeal rath
er to our own friends here—if we are
in the majority. The appeal of the sen
ator will ibe fra vain. Our friends on
the other side opposed* Uhls tariff re
form •bill, and they do not propose to
help us out of our difficulties. That is
natural. The patriotic appeal which the
senator made to them will not find any
response on that side of -the chamber."
THE RECENT CAUCUS.

the decision of the chair ruling ouC\ senatorial caucus, and said that ft had
done nothing on the subject of cur
rency reform.
•Mr. Pugh, Democrat, of Alabama—
That was one of the specifllc subjects
before the caucus.
“What has become of it?” Mr. H1U
asked contemptuously, “is It up in the
air. or where is it?" (Laughter.)
"The finance committee." Mr. Pugh
implied, "did not consider it its duty to
act on that subject until it is disposed
of by the ihouec. After action by the
house, I take it for granted that a com
mittee of this body will consider it aud
bring it 'before the senate. I understand
that the finance committee is now pon
dering"—-
"Pondering is good," Mr. Hill inter
rupted with a sneer.
"Pondering with great care.” Mr.
Pugh continued with quiet disregard of
Mr. Hill’s remark, "and with a sense
of the responsibility which the senator

is ful’ of eoinplications and difficulties.
No party has ever had tihe responsibili

the rules amended so e.s to be able t i

less to present any measure."
Mr. Gorman made another short
speech in reply to Mr. Hill, denying
that he had made any "piteous apnea.'
to t'he Republican side of the chamber,
and averting that no change of the
rules was necessary. There never had
been, he isald. a measure mending In

or abroad, which had not been acted

At the beginning of the morning hour
Mr. Hatch called up the bill making oho-
margarine subject to the laws of the
state or territory Into which »t is Im
ported, and demanded tho previous Ques
tion on it.
Mr. Bynum moved that recess b*? taken
until 1:30 o’clock. This urns a lMSUstei
and It was successful. No quorum was
shown and the point was raised. J*y the
time a quorum was secured :he morning
hour had expired. Mr. Hatci afkfi
unanimous consent to mve the house
consider the oleomargorlao bill, but ob
jection was mode and the bill iort Us
favored place without having reached a
vote on Its merits. An order from tho
committee on rules will probably he nec
essary for the further consideration of
tho bill. Objection was made to grant
ing unanimous consent, asked by Mr.
Hatch, to consider the pure food bill.
Mr. Catching* present-si from the loro-
initteo on rules a resolution providing
that the rest of the .’ay be given up »o
business from the committee on Judiciary.
Objection was made to this by Mr. Cobb
(Democrat) of Alabama, who claim-d
that tho rules gave up tho day to the
committee on the district of Columbia.
It was finally agreed that next lllday
be set apart for District business and
the resolution giving today to judiciary
business was carried. Chairman Culoer-
son called up the senate bill "to provide
for tho re-dlstrlcting of the Indian Ter-
rltory for judfclul purpos***. for sn ad
ditional judge and for more United States
commissioners and to provide tho Juris
diction and authority of such Judges and
commissioners."
It took the committee of the whole al
most the remainder of tho lay and was
finally passed with certain amendments,
recommended by the commlct**e.
The bill to make an additional judfdal
district in Kentucky wns taken up. but
no conclusion had been reached when the
house, at 5:15, adjourned.

cerns, and doclarlng them frauds, pran.b-
Ited them the use of the malls,
Tho nameB of Governor Northern State
Treasurer Hardeman and •other prominent
people appeared as officers and directors
of the companies, and tho ctlgma of
"fraud"'placed upon them by die govern
ment, which also threatened criminal
prosecution, created a big sensation.
Governor Northern Col. Hardeman and
others of the more Influential ones who
had been Induce.! to allow the use ol
their names by the real managers of the
concern, quickly withdrew when they
found (hat the business came In r on met
with Uncle Barn's Ideas of legitimacy, and
are still oat of them.
But tt appears that tho government'
embargo on the conccm'3 business has
not had the effect of killing It, a'thimnh
at tho time the government shook It
was believed that the concern, which Is
similar In operation to many others
over the country, which arc being both
civilly and crlmlnully prosecuted by th
government, would lay exceedingly low.
Today the Telegraph correspondent
came Into possession of an Ingenious cir
cular which Is being sent out by tho

Atlanta, Jan. 14.—<SpM<al>-The B<H
commlttcr-gcncraily referred to a*
Atlanta'* Lexow—will begin ||* work
tomorrow morning at > o'clock on tho
Investigation of ttoe character of Mr
Aoa Baker, el;lit of the police court,
which Is the specific case In 1*tnd. Two
hundred and snore witnesses have al
ready been subpoenaed, and U la ex-
peeted that the lnrea0gatJon will bring
out a whole troop of municipal n nwi-
ttons, although there one many who
predict than the public will be disap
point-d la IU expectation* In thl* re-
■pevt.
Under the reooluUon creating the In
vestigating committee, pow r -waa only
granted to Investigate Clerk Raker. 8o
far as Baker mmuelf I* concerned, there
I* little in the Investigation that tlie
public care* -about, but It la the onaal-
Witty that otter thine* will be brought
out In the way Of direr .Min* witnesses
on both oidc* that will exult In the
rUvargement of the committee’* action.
Ttoe meat tn the cocooaiut 1* that two
rival political elements—one Bucking
Bak r and the other defending him—
are brought to daggers' points. About
the only thing that will satisfy the de
tective side will be Baker's dismissal!
In dlagrace. If the charges against him
are not sustained—and there la a very
reasonable doubt of that—the pfl'ev de
partment will be In a hole hard to get
out of. A good d.hl of bluffing ts being
done on both side*, especially It appear*
by the police, who would probably pur
sue a different course If '.hey had the
tlkllig to do over again. ’Ill) grand
Jury spent a good many days in In
vestigating charge* of uribe.v against
the detective* li-t summer, but fatl-J,
and this fact will be an advantage to
them In the present instance.
It Is understood that the lawyers on
both skies will try to k*;p the Investi
gation down to the obarges against
Baker strictly, keeping teat all cjbIct-
chsrgea not bearing directly upon that
