The sentence ,was not finished, for
Madeline Pollard's head was bowed on
her arms on the witness box, her slen

and there was moisture in many eyes.
No man in the court room broke the
silence by a whisper until Mr. Wilson
suggested that court should adjourn.
Col. Breckenridge turned around and
smiled what was probably, a forced
smile, for he walked out of the court
room with his head bent In a dejected

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. J would
confine the test of all sugare, raw or
refined, to the polarizscope one, and
thus make the duties each should pay.
The senate passed the bill authorizing
the secretary of war to lend condemned
cannon and caTnnon balls to the associa
tion having; In charge tha monument on

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.

RHODE ISLAND DEMOCRACY.
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. ( The
republicans did this, and tlie democrats
followed their example todayy--
