FROM OUR REGULAR CoRREsroNDENT
WASHINGTON. d. c., DC, 10Th, 1892
REPRESENTATIVE OILS of Kansas, tried
to get unanimous consent for the adop-
tion of resolution by the House, in
structing the Ways and Means commit.
tee to report bill providing for an in,
come tax, but objection was raised by
Representative Springer, chairman oil
that committee.
The Commissioner of Internal Reve.
hue estimates that if the tax on whiskey
be increased from 90 cents to $l.25 a
gallon. as proposed by bill introduced
by Representative Scott, of Illinois, it
would add $35 100000 TO the revenues
of the Government for the iscal year
beginning July l. 1898. 1t is not prob
able, however, that Mr.. SCOTS bill will
ever get reported to the House, as
Chairman Springer, of the Ways ana
Means committee, which would have to
report it, Is on record as opposing an
increase of more than 10 cents a gallon
in the tax of whiskey.
Representative Hatch, chairman of
the House committee on Agriculture,
predicts that the duty on sugar will be
restored by the next Congress and the
present bounty on domestic sugar abol
lshed.
Post Office Department officials are
chuckIing over having discovered and
put a stop to some thrifty tricks among
the fourth class postmasters. Just after
the result became known resignation of
republican postmasters accompanied by
recommendations tor the appointment
Of their successors, began to pour into
the department. At first the resigna
tons We're accepted and new appoint
ments made, but the number Of resig.
nations and recommendations became
so large that suspicion Was aroused and
an Investigation made. Then it was
learned that the retiring p. m 8 were
making good thing out of turning
their offices over to democrats, who, of
course hoped to be able 10 retain their
hold on the Office under the Cleveland
administration. Mr.. Wanamaker then
issued an order that no designations of
postmasters were to be accepted for the
remainder of his administration, except
for some extraordinary cause.

Tourists Complain.

SAN Francisco. April 11.-There is good
prospect that the facts in regard to the mis-
management OF the Yosemite Valley will soon
be brought to the Governments attention. and
that the valley will soon pass from under the
control of tho State Commission. Last night
Cant. Wood Of the Fourth Cavalry and Special
Agent Speer of the United States Land once
started for the Yosemite. The Captains mis-
sion is to select camp for his cavalry troop
that will patrol the National Park surround
ing tho Yosemite Valley. Speer's duty Is to
ascertain tho abuses that have grown up IN
the valley and against which Eastern and
foreign tourists have complained. Some OF
the principal abuses are these;
into tho valley, whichis a heavy tax on camp
ing parties and travellers: and allowing squat.
tors To- retain ranches in the southwestern part
OF tho reservation. In the valley itself the
abuses are numerous. but the most Migrant
are the use of the prettiest parts, of the valley
TO grow hay for horses and the GXorni tan
The State Commission has winked Mt every
monopoly in the valley that bears heavily on
