The Conference COMMITTEES OH the
Income Tax bill to-day have agreed
upon q report. 1t provides for a con-
tinuaton of the tax, as at present,
through the present year. The law
remains In force till the tax Is collected
next spring. It also legalizes the ac-
ton Of the officials collecting the tax
on salaries since the first of January.
The expectation Is general among
the members of Whittemore's re-elec-
ton. Few appear to be settled rs to
the course to pursue. 1t appears that
there Is no precedent for the case.
Members expelled have been returned
to succeeding Congresses, but never
before at the same session.
Tomorrow the enumeration for the
census begins. Blanks sufficient for
beginning the work were sent from the
office here In time to reach California
and Oregon, and nc delay Is expected
IN any quarter from a failure to supply
blanks as fast Us needed. y

deems Il desirable the Senate should
incorporate into the treaty. In these

debt, shall be stricken out, and that
the sum proposed to be paid for the
island-$l, 500, O00-shall be absolutely
the entire amount to be paid by this
Government. 1t Is also proposed that
two Commissioners shall be appointed,
one by the Dominican Government
and one by the United States, to re-
ceive this money and apply 1t to the
extinguishment Of the Dominican debt.
