WASHINGTON. Nov. IA revenue OF.
fifty million dollars is expected by the
Democrats Of the ways and means com.
mittee from the moderate income tag
which they propose to incorporate in the
new revenue bill. The rate of the tax
will probably be two per cent, and the
exemptions will be high enough to ex.
olude the great mass OF laboring men
and people on small salaries. The
limit now under discussion is from
$4,000 to 1000.
A good many statistics have been
prepared by the treasury experts ON
the incomes of the country and the rates
Of revenue obtained under differsnt
plans, and it is believed that the two
per cent. rate will yield a handsome
addition to the revenues of the Govern
ment. II the increase in the revenue
should prove insufficient after q year or
two to meet the demands OF the Treas
ury, the rate might be slightly increased
and the limit OF exemption lowered
One OF the attractions of the income
tax to those members of the committee
who are advocating it is that 1t allows
changes In the rate to meet The de-
mands OF the treasury without disturb
ing the industries of the country "a In
the case Of changes in the tariff. the
income tax is adopted in the form now
Under consideration, other changes i'm
the internal revenue laas will not be
necessary. There will be no increase
In the beer tax, the whiskey tax, the
tax on manufactured tobacco or the tax
on cigars.
The question Of the duty on sugar is
still hui In; &c
that duty will be imposed of about
one cent per pound on both raw and re-
fined sugar. This will enable the
committee to abandon the bounty now
paid the Louisiana and Nebraska
growers without leaving them abso-
lutelY without protection against
foreign competition. It Is also desired
to strike blow at the sugar trust BY
making the duty on refined sugar sub
stantially the same as on raw sugar.
The reciprocity section, which deals
with sugar, hides, tea and coffee, will
probably be stricken from the law, but
without necessarily abrorasing the
reciprocity arrangements with GERMANY,
with Spain regarding Cuba, and with the
South American counties. The articles
named will remain free from duty from
all countries unless q small tax is i'm
posed on sugar, and it is not believed
that the countries now having the reci-
procity arrangements will desire to
abrogate them because the retaliatory
duties against Venezula, Columbia and
Hayti may be abandoned.
The treatment of bituminous coal is
an open question with the Democrats Of
the committee. Coal was on the free
list in the original draft of the tariff
bill, In accordance with the pledge of
the Democratic national platform to
modify the Mckinley law in the direc-
tton OF free raw materials. The protest
from the coal districts of West Virginia,
Pennsylvania and Alabama has been so
strong, however, that some OF the mem
bers OF the committee are weakening
and may vote to retain q small duty.
Chairman Wilson hopes to present the
completed bill to the Republican NOM
bers OF the ways and means committee
by the latter part Of next week so that
they can have their minority report
ready upon the meeting of Congress- in
December.

PREPARING FOR THE INAUGURAL

Governor-Elect O'Ferrall VIII be Sworn In
With Simple Ceremonies.
Governor-Ele OFerrall will visit
Richmond during the present week, and
will be the guest OF his brother-in-law,
Charles e. Wingo. During his stay in
this city arrangements will probably be
| made for the ceremonies in connection
with his inauguration on January LIST.
1t will take place, says the Richmond
Times, at noon on New Years day, in
the hall of the house of delegates. in the
| presence of the two houses of the gen
eral assembly.
The ceremonies will be very simple
according to the custom. The retiring
governor will escort his successor to
the front OF the speakers chair, where
some judge, possibly Judge Lewis, presi-
minister the oath, which the governor
will sign, after it has been read to him.
One of the ministers of this city will
offer prayer on that occasion. No
speeches will be made, unless the gov
ernor should be called upon by some one
in the crowd.
II the military decide to participate
in the affair, they will probably furnish
the escort for the governor to and from
the capitol, or they may give q grand
ball in the evening in his honor.
There are very few appointments in
the gift OF the governor. He has the
appointment of the board of the State
institutions, butit Is presumed that no
changes will be made except as terms
expire. The first appointment that will
be made, no doubt, will be that of pri-
vate secretary. AS far as is known
there are no applicants for this position.
1t is possible that Governor O'Ferrall
will retain Mr.. G. Mcleod, who has
| served Governors Lee and Mckinney.
Mr.. Mcleod, in addition to being thor
oughly familiar with the routine of the
office, is an expert stenographer, type
writer and telegrapher
The governor will also appoint sue
cessor to DR.. Paulus A. Irving, the
present surgeon of the penitentiary.
Among the candidates recorded for this
office is DR.. Ben Harrison, a popular
young physician of this city, and q
| member OF the board of health.
The adjutant general will also be ap-
pointed by the next governor. Among
/ the candidates for the position are Gen.
Charles j. Anderson, Capt. Philip
Haxall and one or two others.

Merrill's bass solo, "Armorer,n showed
off his musical bass voice to advantage,
and the readings by Mrs. Emma Wyer
Moseley, entitled "The Blacksmith's
Store" and .Jimmy Browns Prompt

complished artist can, and were well
deserving of the recall to which she

was in splendid voice, and her solo,
was literally encored, and the
tenor solo of 8 Mr.. W. II. Stock

that his fine voice had lost none of it's
old time sweetness. Miss Katherine

with G. Whitney Coombs's alto solo,
Across the Deep, and it was rapturously
encored. During the evening the Haydn

with, Who Shall Win My Lady Fair"
and Golden Slumber.n
