An Income Tax Projected.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-It is gen.
orally expected that the Ways and
Means Committee will report an
income tax, the rates of which will
probably be as follows: All under
$4,000 exempt; from $1,000 to
$4,000 two per centum; all over
SlO,O 900 three per centum. The be-
lief that this income tax will be
reI orted strengthens the hope of

rates in Internal Revenue. The
maximum determined upon by the
Committee to be raised from Inter-
nal Revenue is $120, 100000.

How Russia Takes IL.
LONDON, Feb. 9.-The effect on
the Russians of sending the fleet to
Constantinople is anticipated with
considerable anxiety. A st. Pc
tersburg correspondent says that
the Russian war party construe
the movement as violation of the
neutrality and direct and un.
warranted impeachment of Rus
sia's good faith. He says it is
looked upon as difiance of
Russia by England. The state
ments of the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer that the fleet was sent to
Constantinople to protect British
subjects from violence, Is regarded
as hypocritical and produces great
Indignation. Russian extremists de-
mand that war be declared against
England, or rather that
the sending of the fleet to Con-
stantinople be regarded as decla-
ration of war by England and treat
ed accordingly. An active cores
pondence is going on as to the time
and place of meeting Of the Con-
ference. 1t is said that the Goth
inst. has been decided upon and
that the place will be Lorraine or
Geneva.
