WIke WANTS An INCOME TAX.
The Illinois Congressman Mould Raise Reve
nue. Out Of MiIIionaires.

washington, Nov. 1.-Representafiye
Scott Wike, of Illinois, in reply to an
inquiry as to the probability of an extra
session of the House, said;
1T depends upon the work of this ses-
siou. If it should go ahead and pass a rev.
enue bill that would increase the receipts
from imports to meet the deficiency in the
treasury there would be no need of an extra
session.
But am not prepared to say what this
Congress will do. know what would do
if had full power. would pass an in
come-tax bill | had such a bill in the last
House. but am not sure that will call ii
up again this session. In 1866 this gov
ernment raised S6G 900, 900 of revenue
from an income tax, and over half that
amount came from incomes of over 5000.
Ny idea of an income tax would praetl-
cally exempt the masses, as ! would not tax
incomes below 5000. The great objection
to the income tax is that it is inquisitorial.
But to me il seems not more so than the or
dinary state tax.
II like the income-tax system of Eng
land which has been in vogue for 81 years
and is a success. In England the manner
of levyipg this tax on corporations is to iirst
collect it from the net earnings of the COM
pany before any dividends are declared and
let the company, in turn, apportion the tax
among the stockholders.
'.Under an income tax law such as
would levy, there would be no multi-mil-
lionaires in this country. Under gradual
ted income tax would raise the levy so
high on large incomes that it would be
practically impossible for man to acquire
more than a million dollars worth of wealth
at the outside
According to the revised estimates of the
total stock of money of all kinds in the
country on June 80. there was s2,374 ,33i,-
O49, an increase in the year of Sl3O.Wo,-
900. BY eliminating that part of the paper
currency, which is purely representative,
consisting of certificates of deposit and
treasury notes, the effective stock is found
to have been 81 ,753. .953, rs, an increase of
s70,000,000.
There was an increase of over S20,00o,-
900 during the year in the amount of United
States bonds held for security of national
bank circulation. decrease of slo,0o0,Ut0
in amounts held as security for pubhc
deposits.
4 total addition of 81 ,GG4 900 was made
to the par value of securities composing the
the Pacific Railroad sinking funds. In
pro- ortion to the volume of national bank
notes in circulation the redemption contln-
ues heavy. having amounted to upwards OF
500 900 900 in the fiscal year.

THE CONGReSSMEh
And Their Attitude on An Extra Session and
the Mckinley Bill.

New York, Nov. 27.---The Herald will
publish tomorrow a cOncensus OF opinion OF
the members-elect of the sd Congress on
the question OF an extra session and the re-
peal of the Mckinley bill. One hundred
and eighty eight of the 356 Congressman
responded to the inquiries. of the number
% declared IN favor of an extra session; -
were opposed and 3S were non-committal
Seventy-five voted to recall the Mckin-
lev bill. a favored 1t with modifiations, 81
were opposed to any chance and IL were
non committal. Representatives Of the
Southern states wrote strongly of an early
extra session and prompt repeal of the
Mckinley bill.
Many Republicans express desire for
extra session that the Democrats may put
their plans into operation at once. Many
Democrats believe in leaving it 10 Mr..
Cleveland to call an extra session if he be-
leves it advisable.
MANY Republicans wrote that they were
in favor of notifications in the Mekinie,
bill, but not to the extent of tariff for rev.
enuc only.
A number of conservatives on the sub
iect of tariff reform wrote that they were
content to wait until the regular session OF
Congress for revision of the tariff law. A
few appear to favor a horizontal cut. In
many directions it is ridiculed.
Replies were received from Maine Con
gressmen substantially as follows: S. l.,
Milliken. Bclfast-.'The Democrats should
decide as to an extra session. ] am opposed
to the repeal of the Mckinley bill. also to a
tariff for revenue only"

would he great advantage to business in

change of tariff seems determined upon dur

FLOOD FROM CENTRAL AFRICA.
The Rise In tho Lower Nile Traced Directly 10
Victoria kyanza.

LONDON, Nov. 21.--iD September last
unusual floods occurred in the lower Nile.
tine hundred thousand men engaged IN pre-
servativc works, but the enormous volume
of water WAS wholly unlocked for and did
much damage. Capt. Lugarl, who
has returned to England from Victoria Ny
ANA, the main head waters of the Nile,
has some facts which throw light upon the
floods that oyertlowed the farms Of Egypt.
lie says that usually in the Victoria
Nyanza region the lesser rains begin early
in October and cease in the middle Of De-
cembcr From that time the heat AMI
drought increase and the grass dries up AMI
is burned. In the early part of March the
greater rains set in and tropical downfall
continues with few breaks till the end Of
May.
In October and November last year the
lesser rains were unusually heavy and con-
tinued with little internission ill the time
of the regulpr rains in March. There was
a little check in the rainfall and then tho
downpour recommended and was still IN
progress when he left Uganda in the middle
of june last. The rivers, which should
have been falling after the season of heavy
rain, were all abnormally high. Lake Vic
toria was SIX feet above its ordinary level
wben he left the country. ond perhaps rose
still higher. lie looked forward with in
terest to asceriaiDing whether this unprece-
dented downpour had caused any appre-
ciabe change in the height Of the water in
,hp lower Nile.
! lie found tina, unusual floods had occur
red in Egypt IN September. This IL not
the time of the high Nile, which il due
principally to the foods poured down by
| the Atbara from Abyssinia. He says the
water undoubily came from Victoris
/ Nyanza, and that it took about the same
lime to reach Egypt from the lake region,
I travelling 1000 miles. that 1t took him TO
reach the east coast, which he gained about
/ Sept /. He thinks that If he had been
I able 10 telegraph the news Of the abnormal
I rainfall and the great rise in the Victoria
/ lake, steps might have been taken to pre-
pare for the flood, and much of the damage
: caused would have been ayerted.

MlJARES AFFAIR
Settled With Venezuelan Govern
ment by Minister Scruggs


WAsaISGToN, Nov. 27.--lt appears from
unofficial news received from Venezuela
that the Mijares incident is at an end. The
Venezuela government has been silenced
by the presentation Of the case made by
Minister Scruggs.
Mijares was Venezuela refugee, who
sought shelter upon the Red ID line steamer
Philadelphia, at Laguayra, which vessel
was obliged TO sail without clearance papers
because of the refusal of her captain to
surrender the fugitive to his pursuers.
Because charge of criminality was
trumped up against him it was contended
by the Venezuelan government that he
could not be regarded as political refugee
and should be surrendered. The point was
successfully met by Minister Scruggs.
