FEW PRESENT IN THE SENATE Hoar Introduces a Resolution Ask in? for Information as to Blount's Salary. Associated Press. Washington, Jan. 4. The republicans at-3 pursuing the same tactics as yes terday In the house, and the democrats are again without a. quorum to take up the tariff bill. Although an order was passed yesterday recalling the ab sentees, only 98 members were on the floor when the house was called to order. Boutelle precipitated the Hawaiian fight by moving the consideration of his resolution thereon. McMillan, on behalf of the ways and means commit tee, raised the question of consideration. Boutelle was sarcastic and McMillan contemptuous In the exchange of shot3 which followed. Finally by a rising vote of 58 to 124 the house decided not to consider the resolution. The ayes and nays were demanded. The house adjourned without taking up tfie tariff bill. Chairman Hohnan, of the house democratic caucus, issued a call for a caucus tomorrow night at 7. Forty-seven democrats signed the request for a call. Washington, Jan. 4. Only a ncore of senators were present when that body was rapped to order. Hoar presented a resolution calling on th secretary of the treasury for information as to the amounts paid Blount for salary and ex penses as special, commissioner to Ha waii, and by virtue of what appropria tion or law the same had been paid. It Was laid on the table for the present at Hoar's request. It was agreed that when the senate adjourns It will bo till Monday. The sessjon of the senate was signifi cant In two respects. Hoar Introduced a resolution calling on the secretary of the treasury for authority for the pay ment of Special Commissioner Blount for his Hawaiian services, and Gray served notice that Tuesday next the democrats would insist on taking up the federal elections bill, and continuing iff consideration until the measure Is fin ally disposed of. The object of Hoar'p resolution manifestly Is calling to ques tion the right of the president to send a personal commissioner to Hawaii, or Indeed any commissioner, without con currence of the senate, and this object is of course most effectively leached bj demanding the authority of the secre tary of the treasury for the payment of Blount for services and expenses. The notice of Cray Indicates the dem ocrats are determined to dispose of the federal elections bill at an early day, and before they can possibly be ham pered by the tariff bill or any other party measures, measures that might come from the house demanding early consideration through motives of party expediency. The bill will be taken up Tuesday and continue to be the para mount question In the senate until fin ally disposed cf. Dolph called up the bill to extend for three years the time of the Umatilla Irrigation Co. In the construction of an irrigating canal across the Umatilla In dian reservation In the state of Oregon, and It was passed without opposition. The senate adjourned until Monday without transacting any important bus iness. It la claimed by a democratic whip that ove rlSO democrats are In the city, and that some of those who did not appear today are lukewarm In support of the Wilson bill or openly fighting some of its features, and have deliber ately decided to offer no aid toward get tins the bill before the houne. One democrat, Sperry, of Connecticut, tl tnough present, acted with the republL cans today and refund to answer to his name. The democratic leaders are very much disgusted over yesterday and today's proceedings, and assert ve hemently that there 1 no cuse for the fcwy list (,t abwntees at this Im urn QUORUM portant time, saying' every democrat understood when the holiday recess was taken that the program was to take up the tariff bill the day congress recon vened. The republicans are naturally jubilant over the success that attended their efforts to block progress, although there is some manifestation of dissat isfaction with the Course of Boutelle, whosrt attempt to launch the Hawaiian debate yesterday and today has cut oft all prospect, of consideration of that subject until the tariff la disposed of. It i almost certain the democrats will hav .a- quorum present on Monday, but twqttays have already been wastde, and this will probably necessitate an extension of the limit for debate beyond January 17th, on which day the pro gram contemplated a final vote. WILL HOLD A CAUCUS. Indications of Democratic Opposition to the Tariff Bill. Washington, Jan. 4. Chairman Hol man, of the house democratic caucus, has Issued a call for a caucus tomorrow night. The purpose of the call Is to consider the merits of the tariff bill, and Is accepted as the first open dem onstration of opposition to the bill in Its present form. No member of the ways and means committee signed tht call. The Internal revenue feature and the Income tax will receive considera tion." Chairman Wilson and his asso ciates express, willingness to go into caucus. Wilson said his understanding was lhat the -customs features and all other sections of the bill would be con sidered. Majiy democrats deprecate the caucus, as they see in It prospects of a disagreeable clash within the party. i A SERIOUS CHARGE. A Spokane Man Arrested for Alleged . Assault. Spokane, Jan. 4.
