Internal Revenue Reformers.

WAsHINGToN, May S.-Representatives of
half dozen states interested in securing modi-
fcation of the internal revenue system and par
ticulariy in the abolition of the tax on tobacco
and frnit brandy, have given up all hope that the
committee on ways and means will take any ac-
ton this session upon any of the internal revenue
bills. Being under strong pressure from home
the internal revenue reformers held a meeting
yesterday morning and agreed to hang their hopes
upon the bill reducing the tax ON fruit brandy
and wines made from berries, which has been re-
ported favorably by the committee on agricul-
ture. They will ask the house to fix day for its
consideration early in June, and when the bill
comes up for action will give an amendment
abolishing the tobacco tax. 1t is apparent from
conversations with some of these gentlemen that
they are not at all sanguine of success, but they
are determined to try it.

THE "PLUNGER'S" RICHMOND.
A Belief That Walton is Being Fought
by a Powerful Ring.
Especial Telegram to the Globe.

LONDON, May 16.-The odds against esPlun-
ger'' Waltons horse Richmond, for the Derby
are now quoted at 12 to 1. The horse, however,
is under suspicious 1t is believed that the Walton
syndicate is at present practically bankrupt,
having lost almost everything which it had to
venture on recent turf events. Mr. Bremen, who
was formerly Walton's agent now repudates
him, ostensibly on the ground that Richmond
was purposely trained in such way as to de-
ceive the touts and the public into the
belief that he was in very bad form. 1t is stated
that during the whole time that Richmond was
reported to be injured and was supposed to be
eating his head off in the Walton stables, he was
being regularly exercised by long gallops early in
the morning and late i'll the afternoon. Mean
while Walton was taking long odds on Richmond
and now he stands to win an immense sum if the
horse lands the blue ribbon of the Derby In
any case, he could make handsome thing of it
if he were to hedgerow, but it is said he has no
intention of seeking partners in his venture,
which he still considers good
Brewer says that he Indignantly left the ser
vice of Walton when he discovered how the pub
lie were being tricked, but Mr.. Brewers virtu-
Gus indignation is rather spoiled by the fact that
he demanded share of the long odds which
Walton had obtained on Richmond and only
severed his connection when Walton positively
refused to admit him to partnership. There is
no doubt that Walton means to win the Derby
with Richmond if possible, and indeed he can
not refuse to train the horse for that race under
the terms upon which he became its owner. Mr.
Wright sold the horse to Mr.. Hendry upon
the express condition, amongst others, that it
was to be trained to for the Derby, and Mr.
Hendry. who by the way is nearly bankrupt
through his recent losses on the turf sold the
horse to Mr.. Walton under the same conditions,
but even more stringently expressed.
The feeling of the English sportsmen gener-
ally is one of sympathy for Walton in conse-
quence of the general belief that he is fighting a
powerful ring of EPSON touts, who are system
atically bribed to deceive their employers.
