SUGAR TAX OF ONE CENT
To Be Levied and the Bounty Taken OF Of
This Popular Necessity.
WOOL TO BE PLACED ON THE FREE LIST
And en- Income Tar Lsvied-A Report Showing the
Condition Of 0hahoma-Alumnum Men
Want Protection Continued

WASHINGTON Nov. 1S.-There will
be tax of per cent put back on SUI
gar and the bounty taken off This
viii yield many millions. A small in
crease viii be made on the tax on
whisky, but it will not be raised as
high as generally expected. On this
there will be remarkable accord. The
whisky trust wants the increase.
Wool will be placed on the free list
and a cut will be made in the tariff on
articles manufactured from woods, but
the eastern manufacturers may be
able to prevent as severe a cut as the
public desires. As to the income tax,
that looks ike foregone conclusion.
II would seem that the only matter
remaining for the committee is the
fixing OF the amount to be exempted
from the income. There is much talk
about what this amount will be and
the reports have fixed it as low as
$500 per annum.

souri, appointments yesterday are Gre
ating no end of comment here. The
Missouri congressman are wrathy.
Scott Harris. who was appointed sur
veyor of the port of Kansas City, is a
brother of ex-President Harrison and
voted for him at the last election, but
is Democrat and refused to accept
Office under his brothers administra-
ton. The opposition to him is not
because he voted for his brother, but
because he was not indorsed by either
of the Missouri senator's Withers.
who was appointed internal revenue
collector in Missouri, also failed to
secure the Endorsement of Vest and
CocBren These senators were very
anxious 10 have other men appointed,
so the charge of the Missourians is
that the senators were refused their
choice because they fought the repeal
of the Sherman law.

WAsHINGroN. Nov lit is quite
generally conceded that any financial
legislation which may become a law
viii only be the result of harmonious
action between the two old political
parties, and will not be credited as the
marked achievement Of either When
asked for copy Of the measure un-
derstood 10 be under consideration by
himself and colleagues, Mr.. Springer
stated that it could not be given out
in detail until il had met the full ap-
proval Of the various other members
OF the committee over which he pre-
sided. 1--WE have been engaged for
several months" said Mr.. Springer,
''in the preparation OF a measure
which at the proper time ! viii intro
duce in the house and have referred
TO the committee on banking and cur
rency. Of which am chairman. Our
object is to respond as far as possible
TO the reasonable demands OF the
country for better system Of curren-
ey to be placed upon better basis.
An effort. in my judgment. to return
to the system Of state banks which
prevailed before the war would be fu-
tile, and if the 10 per cent tax on state
bank circulation should be removed it
would furnish little or no relief to the
country"

Opening of KieLapoo Lands.

WAsHISGros, Nov. 13.-While it is
probable that the Kiekapoo Indian
lands in the Indian territory viii not
be opened until spring. the delay is
not because the department is waiting
for the lands occupied by the Wichita,
biowss, COmanehes and Apaches.
There is still pending, awaiting rati-
tcation By congress, agreements with
the Indians for the purchase of those
lands. Il viii require the payment of

=. WASHINGTON, Nov. 14-There is
much complaint among exhibitors over
the great delay in awarding the
Worlds fair medals to the successful
competitors. Congressman have re-
ceived numerous letters on the sub
ject. but inquiry at the treasury de
partment did not reveal any indica-
tions that the medals would be ready
for distribution for several months:
As many OF the exhibitors expect to
make the most eff their medals in an
advertising way. some of them desir-
ing to incorporate the design in new
trademarks to be adopted. they COM
plain that the great delay would rob
them of much of the commercial ad-
vantage which they expect to reap in
return for the heavy expenses involved
in making a Worlds fair exhibit.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.-It appears
that the chief embarrassment OF the
ways and means committee is not to
come from the articles upon which
specific and ad valorem duties are to
be reduced, but from articles to be put
on the free list. 1t was generally &c
cepted up to quite recently that the
Democratic party was united on the
proposition OF putting coal, wool. iron
ore, salt and lumber on the free list,
but the latest developments indicate
that this is not the case. Mr.. Culber-
son and other Texas members have
already sounded their opposition to
free wool, and they will likely receive
substantial encouragement from the
Ohio members and representatives of
the grazing states of the west. Sew
eral Alabama representatives are pro-
testing against the proposition to place
iron ore and coal on the free list. The
extensive lumber states. both of the
south and west, are almost a unit in
opposing free lumber. The Michigan
members oppose free salt. Altogether
the lot of Wilson and his colleagues OF
the committee is not happy one.
