with opposition in their party in the house,
which threatens the defeat Of their bill III ii
includes this item. They are having q
deal of trouble over this question, but
one OF the most ~perplexing features 81
the situation ifs that there is considerable
doubt aboutthe fiscal affairs Of the govern
ment admitting Of any reduction Of revenue
at this time. The regular appropriations
and the differences for the ensuing year will
amount to about! $43o, 100000, and the esti-
mated revenues for that year arc but $780,
GOO, 600. The passage Of the Blair bill, or
would wipe out this difference Of $4,000
900 and leave a shortage. il. any of these
bills become law, all idea OF re-
ducing the revenue must be
abandoned. and the only reductions Of
duties practicable would he such as would
operate t. increase revenue by encouraging
importations. The friends of sugar in the
house opposing the repeal ofthe duty pro-
pose to accept a reduction Of between 20
end 80 per cent as a compromise, urging
that the government cannot spare the
revenue which would be wiped out by
putting it on the free list, and it is possible
that there may be a compromise on this
basis. 1t is also claimed that the repeal Of
the tobacco tax is probable unless it is
IOunQ tIlaC Lne revenue caHHot De spdLeu.
This is based on the fact that
certain Southern Republicans have
port any tariff bill if the tax on tobacco was
not removed. 70 this proposition the
Northwestern members strongly dissent.
They will not, if they can help it, vote for
any bill that repeats the tobacco x A
great many Western men are OF the opinion
that the revenue derived from the tobacco
tax may be protitably expended in improv-
ing rivers and harbors and erecting neces-
sary public buildings. The necessary re-
auctions of the surplus, many claim,
should be made upon the necessaries rather
than the %luxuries, even if it would allow
more importations. The majority of the
committee will find it a serious task to
frame q satisfactory tariff bill.

New ORLEANS, Special. J. Corbett,
teacher of the Olympian club at San Fran
cisco, bested Jake Kilrain in a six-round
contest for a purse of So, 500, at the Southern
Athletic club rooms tonight. Kilrain had
agreed to knock Corbett out in six rounds
but was outfought at every point. Corbett
is q giant youngster, we'll educated, ambi-
tious, and is regarded in the West as the
coming worlds champion. Hin has never
been defeated. Kilrain was in fine
trim up to Thursday night, but the
death of James at Dallas, Tex, unnamed
him somewhat, according to Prof. Muldoon.
Benziah, who was implicated in the James
affair, defeated johnson in four rounds.

his right held guard. Kilrain tried
his rushing tactics, but Corbett was
tao lively for him. The referee de-
cided at the end of the sixth rounn
that Corbett had outfoughtK ilrain through
out, Kilrain says his defeat by Corbett is
due to the fact that all in-fghting was
barred. Corbett had the longer reach and
could tip and get away. Kilrain would
like to box him ten rounds with tiye-ounce
gloves, but would prefer a finish fight with
light gloves.

Among Mormona.

SaO experience OF an MI n
Among Mormons.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Special.-George Pres
ton of Clay county,Ala., has returned home
from Utah, where he went ten months ago
as a convert to Mormonism. He tells a
thrilling story ofthe treatment of converts
by the Mormons when they reach Utah.
He says the ome converts are married to
elders, who in most cases have three or four
wives already, and ifthey offer the slightest
protest or resistance they are flogged or
otherwise punished until they submit. The
men who have been promised homes and
farms are compelled to give mp all the
one they have to the church, and then
they are turned adrift to live as best they
can. Preston and his young wife were con-
verted to Mormonism about a year ago by
two elders who were proselyting in Clay
county. They sold all they had and went
to Utah. Preston says his wife was stolen
from him and carried to Salt Lake CITY, he
thinks, but he was never able to find any
trace Of her. He was then by threats COM
PEELED to give the church all the money he
had, about $500, and then told he must look
out for himself. He started home three
months ago and worked his way back.
