No man in the court room broke the silence by a whisper until Mr. Wilson suggested that court should adjourn. Col.

Washington, March 20, In the senate Voorhees reported the tariff bill as amended by the finance committee, and gave notice It would be callnd up Mon day, April 2. In response to a question, Voorhees said there would be no written report to accompany the bill, but there would be a statement when the bill Is called up. The rest of the day waa taken up by Mr. George, of Mississippi, in the dis cussion of the legal aspect of the Ha- wallan question, and defending the nc tion of the president. Mr. juefnemon, or New Jersey, ex plained his relations to the balance of the finance committee, stating he had assented to the report, believing that the bill was the best obtainable. There were two subjects In the bill "which have received much public attention said he, "and I will state to the senate, as I have already stated, my views on them: First, I disagree with my col leagues as to that section which pro vides for an Income tax, that provision being made for sufficient revenue. It ls unnecessary, and It ls undemocratic. It is un-American, and I believe it ls un wise, and I shall move at 'the proper time to strike it from, the bill. Second, I disagree wlthj my colleagues on the sugar schedule as It appears fn the bill, believing the method of testing is put ting a dangerous power Into the hands of any government officials.

HOUSE PROCEEDINGS. Washington, March 20. The sundry civil appropriation hill was passed by the house today without division. An amendment to the proposition for a general land office, amending the provi sion of the act of 1891 repealing the timber culture law and pre-emption, which was adopted In the committee at the suggestion of Mr. Holman, and which was bitterly opposed by the western members, was defeated In the house. The clauses which sought to require an accounting by disbursing officers of soldiers' homes to the treasury depart ment and annual reports by the boards to the secretary of war, fell under Mr. Black's point of order. The bill as passed carries $217,000 more than It did as reported from the committee on appropriations. The four appropriation bills passed by the house District of Columbia, pensions, forti fications and sundry civil carry a re duction of $24,314,958, as compared with the same bills of the current fiscal year.

Nominees t.t the Last Election Will Again Be Run. Providence, R. I., March 20. The democratic state convention met here today to nominate a state ticket. A curious condition of affairs has existed during the past year. When the legisla ture met last May Its first duty was to meet in grand committee to count the ballots at tho lost state election. The parties were of even strength in the grand committee, but the house waa democratic and It proceeded to change the complexion of the grand committee by ousting two republicans and seating two democrats. Then the senate, which was republican, refused to go Into the ' grand committee, and the governor pro rogued tho assembly. The result waa that the old officers continued In power. This Is the Issue In the coming election. To test the opinion of the people on. the ' question, lb was suggested that the former tickets be re-nomlnated.
