REVENUE ITEMS.
A-An Index of tho Growth Of Tacoma
and the sound.

TACOMA, Feb. 90, Special. Deputy
Collector Of Internal Revenue Hicks Of
this territory rendered his resignation to-
day TO take effect only at or as soon as the
incoming administration sees fit. Mr..
Hicks sayo great increase in the reve-
nues during the past three years
is fair index of the growth Of the
treasury, while collections rarely averaged
then over $500 per month, they seldom fall
below $4,000 per month now. Three years
ago there were about 800 special tax pay
ers in his division where there are now
2500. This division disposes of more ci.
gar stamps than the remaining FIVE divis-
ions of the district, showing that
this line of industry has had
marked impetus in the Sound country
where there were three cigar factories
three years ago there are now no less than
twenty. There are now FIVE large brew
cries in the division whereas there was
not a single brewery three years ago. The
same is true Of distillation of spirits. One
liquor distillery was licensed in the di-
vision six months ago.

From the happy manner in which the

The Fight at Austin.

The die is cast. the battle is pitched
and charterites and anti-charterite are
fighting it out before senate committees
and house committees at Austin, while
Mills and Harrison preserve grave
neutrality, wanting to know, you know,
what their constituents want. The
redoubtable Geo. Clark leads the van
for the city forces, while James I.
Moore leads the charge for the anti
charterites. Each are backed by able
aid-de-camps and the committees ho-d
their breath and listen in dumb sur
prise to arguments incontrovertible
from each side, their eyes dazzled with
zig-zag and sheet lightning rhetoric,
and their brains eiddy with the gladi-
torial displays. 1t passes for saying
that Waco commands profound atten-
ton and the contest Is an exciting and
brilliant one. Both sides had hear.
ing before the senate committee on
Wednesday night, and each was back.
ed by maps, profies, statistics, and
one side by an enormous petition, and
the fight was intense, brilliant, and it
was thought decisive. Mr.. Moore
came back to Waco yesterday evening
but was re called to renew the fight be.
fore the house committee, which takes
place tonight. One of the main points
made by the anti-charterites is to hold
up to ridicule the so-called meander-
ing, zig'zag, tortuous, sinuons, SER
pentine, tangentential, differential and
iucongruous line which forms the
boundary line of the new city charter,
but they also urge that there is an
overwhelming public sentiment
against it, which they back by an enor-
mously signed petition. The city side
stands intense and confident behind
the city council and deprecates the
idea that public sentiment is against
the charter. Nothing decisive will
probably be affected this week, and
one or both will await an appeal to
Caesar who will, in august majesty,
take the matter under consideration
at the court house Monday night.

succeeded during the day in securing
a sack of flour from the store of G. G.

lot back of the City Engineers office

they cribbed a box containing Ca.

they slowed away with the flour.
During the day Marshal Neil discov-
cred the goods and notified the owners
who let them remain during the day
and set parties to watch the place at
night for the purpose of catching the
thieves. Soon after dark the young
scamps doomed up in the darkness
creeping up to their Cache when they
were startled by the cry of "halt''
from the parties in concealment.
Instead they took to their heels and a
wild flight, pursuit and halo began
up the ally and then up Fourth street
that woke the neighborhood with
wild alarm. Pistol shots were fired
but the darkies fleeing ON the wind OF
fear beat the bullets, and melted into
thin air a hundred yards ahead OF
