will occupy tho entire attention of thi
house during thu coining week or If not
the bill Itself then the rov over the at-
tempt to get It before tho house After
four days ot fruitless effort to secure the
presence of a voting democratic quorum
the house adopted Just before adjourn-
ment Paturdiy night the extreme ex-
pedient of ordering the nrrot of ult mem-
bers absent without leave Deputies were
sent out In all directions last night to
serve warrants on these members Of tho
forty members aluent without leave
t cntyono are democrats nnd nineteen re-
publicans Some of them live nt long dis-
tances They can hardly get here tomor-
row nnd a quorum Is therefore doubtful
although the democratic loaders express
confident hope that 17 voting dcmocinlH
ulll bo In their seats when the gavel drops
at noon
From republican absentees ot course no
aid expected They can bo brought hcio
under duress but they can not be made to
vote This applies to some of the dem-
ocrats as well and if opposition within
the ranks ot the democratic majority can
be organized as some of them iloslre
enough dimocratlc members might rr
fraln from voting to prevent consideration
of tho bill In its present shape
PrUattly sonic of the democrats du not
hesitate to ndmlt the gravity ot tho situ-
ation The possibility of defeating con-
federation of the bill strikes terror Into
their hearts uml some of them like Mr
Dates of Alabama openly ndvoenle a re-
sort to the parliamentary expedients util-
ized by the nttyllrbt congress ot count-
ing a quorum
Speaker Ciisp asserts most positively
that they will not be forced to this resort
lie thinks a voting quotum will be heiu
certainly on Tuesday nt furthest If it
can not be obtained then another dem-
ocratic caucus wilt be called This Is In-
deed what thoio who are dlssallslled with
the bill aie aiming nt They doclaro that
as soon ab they can demonstrate that
not a sufficient number of democrats wfll
voto to tontlder the bill the leaders will
bo obliged to submit to material modifica-
tions which disgruntled members will pro-
pose
borne of the Hastern democrats who nre
llgntmg the income tax proportion lire
willing to go to almost any length to
eliminate this feauue of tne bill Alto
Kutnvr the prospects are good for a ory
intertsllng concept in the hou c during the
euming week Otcouroe If a quorum Is
sewurui tomorrow or Tuesdny tile special
oidu will be pasted niodiued probably to
include the two dujs lost since and
lengthening time of tne debate to that ex-
tent Ohio the debate Is under way It
will proceed to the exclusion t > t anything
else Mr Tarsney of Missouri said onlght
that If ii xotiug quorum was iiot secured
by Tuesday he would uivor the uiopilon
of Hie rule einpowriiiij tho bueukcr to

Mr Wilson says the bond qtcstlon will

Item In the senate programme for tha
week which Is agreed tipein Is the consid-
eration of the Kiolrral electlins bill which
will be taken up after the conclusion of
the morning buslneM Tuesday There Is
only one contingency that may arise the
affairs of Hawaii may agnln demand
attention to the exclusion ot other sub-
jects Tor n K > rtlon o f the week Should
the government fnll tb give an explicit de-
nial to the tcport that Mr Willis has
asked the Dole government to retire In the
Interest of the queen there arc sute to be
a number of resolution of Inquiry In-
troduced and several very pointed speeches
may be expected There will in any
event be some discussion of the Hawaiian
affairs over Senator Hoars resolution In-
quiring Into the expenses and salnry ot
Mr IllnUit while on his special mission
uml thero li a possibility that Mr Fryes
resolution declaring that until eougres
slonal Inqulty Is completed this govern-
ment should suspend nil efforts nt Inter-
ference In the affairs of thu country may
bo called from the table The whole mat-
ter depends very larg < ly upon tho char-
acter ot the news from the Piciilc und
the attitude ns umod by the ndinlnlstra
Hon
If It should became appntent that the
Auckland report was not authentic the
senate would be disposed to let the sub-
ject alone until tne committee on foreign
relations can conclude its investigations
If the Potent elections bill be nlloweel
to hold Its place on the calendar nnd tho
bill taken up It will doubtless glt > rise to
some pnrtWnn spcrchea on both sldest of
the chamber <
While It la not believed that theie will
be nny factious opposition or any effort
nt delay merely for the sake of delay
the bill may ding un for setctal diys
or ex en fur rwo or three weeks and two
speeches being made on a day and then
several days skipped It Is not supprisud
that there will be any persistent effort
ti put It through to the exclusion of any-
thing else ns theio was In the case of the
stler lecal bill Tho proliabiillles ate that

London January 7 The UnRltsh war
alarmists nt List have aomctliliig tangible
to talk nlwut The country b genuinely
aroused today by the nous of the killing
of lJIllsh officers tnd men by French
troops In West Aftlca
Tha affair Is regarded on all sides ns
ot grave International Import but public
comment Is rceerveel In tone until more
facts transpire
Half a century ago such an Incident
would have been rcgardeel ns tantamount
to war Now tho only effect seriously
dreaded Is that It will tigRTitvnJe the ex
Istlng popular hostility between the two
counttles This hostility on the part of
Great llrltnlii during tho critical phases of j
the Siamese difficulty and the outbursts I
of hatred ot Ungtaud In Prance have been
no deeper than the Indulgent ctittclsm of 1
the people which nre not to be taken j
seriously Today however John Hulls j
blood is up llellicose talk Is the burden ot
nil conversation It will not suffice for
Prance to say tho affair was nn accident
According tb the present view bho must
apologize explain the picsenco of troops
In the Prltlsh sphere of Influence and pay
a handnomc indemnity
When popular passion cools nnd the mat-
ter leaches the slow stage of diplomacy
It will appear whether the French pro-
fession of iwaceful desires Is really sin-
cere The French manper of treating the
Incident will In a word bo a valuable
indication ot the real drift of Uuropctm
nffalrs It her apology Is halflieatteel and
she bhows nn unwilling Bplrlt In comply-
ing with the demands of decency the
situation will assume a gravel Blgnlllcnncc
than all the talk of the alarmists has
created Ueforo todays ugly news ar-
rived tho Times Telegraph and Standard
have continued to emphasize the Na-
tional danger A favorite form of putting
the case 1 to hemtsethn JlailSTWriu got
erniriont of being guilty of gambling with
National existence as the Btnko of the
game
Coincident with the warlike news from
Afiica comes however the announcement
of the government naval programme
which Is piuiilcally n full surrender to
the tmpulnr demands Tho cost of four
hattlebhlps two llrstclasa cruisers four
new type gunboats and twelve torpedo
baat catchers nil built nt once will be

tion ulriady planned mid begun And nil
Ihls to the ordinary expense of thu main-
tenance of the vast navy and it will be
seen that the goverincnl has committed
itself tu a heavy increase In tho tiavul
budget nnd taxation
It must lie admitted that Gladstone lias
been exlieuiely maladroit In tbe whole
mailer II has been another ot the pecu-
liar turdy concessions ot the pipular man-

ment to say that it incurred It unwilling-
ly There is a gieivt appetite Just now for

situation and tho highest military naval

The mirtt Impoitant point igreeel upon Is
