He had supposed that there would
be no urgency of debate on

of that bill was anxious that the debate
upon it should be continued. AT the very
first opportunity after the finance bill was

Amendments to the Law.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.-Secretary Win
dom has sent to the House Of Representa-
tives, with favorable recommendation, a
letter from the commissioner of internal
revenue, recommending certain amend
ments to the law relating to the tax on
tobacco. The commissioner says that owing
to the active competition of business circles
the necessity for rapid movement on the part
OF the manufacturers, aud the present ad-
vantages OF machinery, etc., be recon-
mends that section 1898 (relating to labels
and notice on cigars be amended by the ad-
dition thereto Of a provision giving the
manufacturer the option of branding or
printing, as well as pasting, the
caution label required by law on all
boxes OF cigars. Tue Commissioner says
that for the reason that there exists press
ing demand for an increased allowance of
weight in the making OF cigarettes, etc.,
and for the further good and sufficient rea-
SON that any advantages so granted
of this country. in fact that
assists domestic production, and is opposed
only to foreign importation, viz: paper.
he recommends that section 1894 of the Re-
vlsed Statutes be amended SO as to
provide taxes as follows: On cigars,
cheroots and cigarettes of all descrip-
tions, made of tobacco, or any
substitute therefor, weighing not
more tnan i've pounds per thousand, 81 per
thousand; on cigars, cheroots and cigarettes
Of all descriptions weighing not less than
five pounds nor more than fifteen pounds
per thousand. So per thousand; and upon
each additional five pounds or part thereof,
a further tax of 81 per thou
sand. The commissioner also recon-
mends that upon sample boxes contain
ing either twelve or thirteen cigars each,
the tax would be four cents or every box.
The commissioner says it is an exceedingly
difficult matter for the manufacturer to
produce an all-tobacoo wrapper and
filler) cigarette on the three pound hmita-
tion; hence the output is limited and the
country Is flooded with paper cigarettes

Wood Guilty, But Foraker and Hal
stead Exonerated.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 12-.fhe report of
the House ballot-box committee, which last
session made an extensive investigation into
Ohio political affairs in connection with the
alleged subscriptions by members of
Congress to stock in a patent ballot
box, was to-day presented 20 the House
by Mr.. Mason of Illinois, chairman
of the investigating committee of five. The
main report, which simply reviews the
evidence and reports the findings of the
committee with reference to the persons
concerned in the ballot-box contract forgery,
is signed by all of the members. The com
mittee find that the ballot-box contract was
prepared by Richard G. Wood; that the
signatures were forged that none of the
persons named in the contract had
any improper interest in the ballot
box; that Wood uttered the forgery to
procure Gov FoFakeF's recommendation for
appointnAent TO office; that Gov. Foraker
and Editor Halstead aided in uttering it by
exhibiting the paper and by publishing it;
but that neither Gov. Foraker nor Editor
Halstead knew that 1t was a forgery. All
of the members of the committee ex-
cebt the chairman, in an additional
finding hold that careful scrutiny Of the
paper must have shown its false character,
and that the high station Of the persons in
volved should have suggested verif1cation,
as ey1de ce was near at band. Chairman
Mason dlSagrees on this point.

committed the murder, adding that 1t was
for political object. He says he failed in

PENSION PAYMENTS.
Secretary Window in Favor of Divld-
ing Taem Up.

lnR Ea9m Up.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.-Secretary Win
dom is authority for the statement that the
growing treasury surplus cannot now be
used in the purchase of per cent bonds,
for the reason that it will be needed to meet
the pension payments due next month, ag>
gregating S25, ,000,000 The available cash
surplus is now SlS, 900, 900, but by coutinued
excess of receipts over expenditures will
probably reach the required amount by the
time indicated. Secretary Window is of
the opinion that the business of the country
would be improved by 80 altering the sys-
tenn as to provide that in future pay
ments shall be made throughout the
country on different months, and
in that way make payments every
month instead of only every quarter, as at
present, and he has made Recommendation
to that effect to the proper congressional
committees. If this is done, he says, it will do
away with the present necessity of keeping
large sum of money in the treasury
vaults for three months when it might just
as well be in the hands OF the people en-
titled to it.
