TAXATION OF INCOMES.
A Compromise the Probable Solution
of the Question.


Washington, Nov. 0.-Representative
McMillan's subcommittee of the demo
ocratic members of the ways and means
committee on internal taxes was in ses-
sion two hours at the capitol this after
noon. At 3 O'Clock all the democratic
members of the committee had
a conference. Mr.. Mcmillan sub
mitted the data which he has secured
from the treasury department and census
Office touching the question of an
income tax. While the committee
were formally discussing the proposition
Secretary Carlisle was announced. He
remained in the committee room about
twenty minutes. After his departure the
committee continued its session with
closed doors until O'clock. The days
session was devoted solely to a considera-
tion of the proposition to tax incomes.
The members of the committee stated
that they had not considered whisky, but
only the better plan Of imposing a tax on
incomes.
Tonight the Democratic members of
the committee met al Secretary CafIisle's
| home 1Qr another conference.
CARLIsLE's POSITION.
The secretary is understood to be un-
friendly to the proposition to tax individ-
ual incomes, and it is still probable that
the solution of the matter will be "A COM
promise which will impose the tax mainly
on legacies and corporations. This prop
Osition is supported by the conservative
members of the democratic majority.
Messrs. Wilson, Turner, Montgomery,
Stevens and Cochran.
There is no suggestion of reciprocity in
the new tariff bill, although it has been
said in some quarters that the matter has
been left hanging in the air. ''If there is
anything in the bill as it now stands that
sayors Of reciprocity, it will not be there
when the bill becomes law" ," said Chair
man Wilson to-day. "By reciprocity |
mean, he continued, that power vested
in the President under the Mckinley act
to regulate tariffs by proclamation. Such
policy will be cast out of the House.
root and branch"
Every mail that now reaches Washing
ton brings with it numerous letters and
petitions, addressed to the ways and
means committee, urging it to increase
the tax on whisky to 81, 80 q gallon. 1t
appears that the religious and temper
ance bodies throughout the country have
taken up the subject, the activity being
especially noticeable among the Presby-
terianS.
CLEVELAND AGAINST IT.
Special Dispatch to the Morning News,
w dSulilS uPLr ,ANON. SJ.-1ne ways and
means committee expect to agree upon
some sort of an income tax on Friday.
Every member of the committee, except
Mr.. Cochran, is in favor of an income tax,
either on individuals or corporations but
it is understood that President Cleveland
is very vigorously opposing such a tax,
and it looks as if there is going to be a
split between the administration and the
ways and means committee 1t is proba-
ble that, besides an income tax of some
kind being levied, the tax on whisky will
have to be increased, in order to in part
make up the deficit which is expected
from the heavy cut in the tariff sched-
tiles made by the Wilson bill.

FIVE KILLED IN A FIGHT.
West Virginia the Scene of a San
culinary Encounter.

Charleston, w Va, Nov 29-Scanty
details have been received of what seems
to have been series of fights or
riots at Eckman, Mcdowell county, near
here, yesterday. The casualties, as far
as reported, are: Archie Edwards, dead
from wounds in the head; Jake Jackson,
shot fatally through the neck by Ed. Full
Ter; Tazewell Turner, dubbed to death
by Austin Price; three negroes killed
outright; four others fatally wounded
The shooting seems to have resulted
from the fact that the miners had just
been paid off, and had loaded up on mean
whisky. A part of the row occurred over
the gaming table. The country is a wild
one. The miners are chiefly negroes.
All the shooting occurred within radius
of three miles and what is remarkable,
all were separate cases. 1t is believed
that all the parties concerned were
drunk
