NEW TARIFF BILL.
The Long Looked For Measure Now
Practically Completed.

]
Saturdays session of the Ways and
Means committee at Washington was
the most important yet held by that
body, which continued its session over
six hours during the days session,
The several subcommittee present.
ed their reports on the various sched-
ules which had been assigned to them
and the result showed that the tariff
bill is now practically completed and
only awaited the approval of the full
Democratic membership. The sub
committee on internal revenue was
the only committee not fully prepared
to report, as the question ofan income
tax within its jurisdiction and until
this matter of policy is decided the de-
tailed report of the committee cannot
be presented. The policy of an income
tax, however, was favorably reported
by the subcommittee and this ques-
ton absorbed most of the discussion
of the day. Mr.. Mcmillan, chairman
of the subcommittee, took q strong
stand in favor of an income tax and
was warmly supported by Messrs.
Bryan, Bynum, Whiting and other
members of the committee. 1t devel-
oped during the discussion that some
of the members felt considerable anx-
iety over the reported opposition to
the income tax policy and final action
on the matter was ultimately deferred
to some day this week.
AT that time there will be spread be-
fore the committee a detailed report
showing the operations of the income
tax during and after the close of the
war. This report may possibly con-
tam the views of the treasury officials
as to the wisdom of such law, as
demonstrated by the experience Of
the past, and statement as to the
probable amount Of revenue that could
now be raised by such system with
out being obnoxiously burdensome to
the country.

DEPR1EsT's LETTER.
Written to the Arkansas Democrat
Concerning the Woodruff Jury.

Written to the Arkansas Democrat
Concerning the Woodruff Jury.
Owing to the vest amount Of spec
ulatior which has been indulged in by
the people of this state concerning the
failure Of the jury in the Woodruff
trial to agree upon verdict either for
or against the ex-treasurer, the per-
sonal statement of Que of the jurors
in said case will not be without in-
terest to the reading public. The
statement in question is made in the
shape of letter, the authography of
which is decidedly faulty, addressed
to the Arkansas Democrat, over the
signature of B. F, Deprlest, and reads
in manner and form as follows:
Editor Arkansas Democrat will
pleas publish the folloing in your col
umns in order that the public my not
misunderstood the proceedings of the
last Wocdrufs Jurys proceedings the
first ballot stood 8 for to against
conviction, the Sd ballot 0 for to 3
against conviction 81 only one stood
10 to 2, and the 9th ballot stood again
8 to 8 and remained thus to the end.
Now the statements made by some of
them TO your reporters as appears in
the Democrat last week they are false.
and on leaving the Jury-room some
of the convicting party suggested that
nothing be said about what had said
or done in the jury room. & to be
the first to misrepresent looks very
dark to me. the misrepresentation
are these that Depriest and Wood
son said that Mr.. Woodruff was too
good a Confederate to be punished
that is malicious lie. that Depriest
was hard Of hearing that is common
lie that the ballot ever stood II to 1.

ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.

SATURDAY NIGHTS FIRE.

Shortly after o'clock Saturday eve
ming, while many of our people were
assembled at the opera house to wit
ness Al G. Fields minstrel entertain
mcnt, the alarm of fire was sounded
from one of the handsomest residence
portions of the city.
Investigation disclosed Capt. c. S.
Todd's elegant home as the scene of
the fire. When discovered the flames
were bursting forth from the second
story of the building and in short
space of time the entire structure was
mass of flames. Every possible ad-
vantage was taken of the brief respite
afforded for the removal of costly fur
mture and household effects from the
first floor, which was accomplished by
willing hands, while the flames ragged
above.
The fire originated from defective
fue on the second floor, and was not
discovered until it had burned
through the roof. Mr.. w. r. Grim
and wife had taken tea with Capt. and
Mrs. Todd, and the four were playing
a social game of euchre at the time,
Miss Bessie Davis, their guest, and
an inmate of ther home, who was alb
sent, as an interested spectator at
the opera house, suffered the entire
loss of her wardrobe. Miss Davis
tuffered yet more trying loss, that Of
their jewels and cherished personal
effects, which, but for their unfortu-
nate absence at the time, might have
been preserved.
The estimated loss, as obtained on
good authority, and insurance cover
ing same, are as follows:
On residence, loss $1,000, insurance
$4,000; on furniture and effects, loss
$4,000, insurance $4,000. Miss Davis
suffered total loss, having no insur-
ance.

SPARKS.

Only one stream of water could be
brought to play on the fire, as the fire
companies were forced to splice hose
to reach the fire.
A second alarm was given early
Sunday morning, calling the East Side
department back to the scene of the
previous nights fire, to lend assistance
in subduing the burning debris.
In fancy's flight Miss Davis is said
to have caught one last parting glimpse
of "perfect love- of a bonnet as its

to empty church, lecture room or
