FIXING UP The TARIFF
/ Series Of Conferences to Begin To-Day
In WASHINGTON.
AN INCOME TAX PROBABLE
Coal and Iron Ore VIII Doubtless
Go on the Free List-The Tax
on Whiskey May Be
Largely Increased.

WASHINGTON. Nov. l5.-The full demo.
cratic membership of the ways and means
committee has been called to meet to-
morrow morning. The members Of the
committee who have been favoring n pro-
vision for an income tax feel confident Of
that result. Tho series OF conferences to
begin tomorrow will prove that majority
of the committee favors such plan. Tho
iron orc and coal schedules will be dis
cussed and tho question of placing these
articles on tho free list will probably be
settled in tho affirmative. The tobacco,
beer and whiskey schedules are also ex-
pectcd to be- considered, and there now
appears little doubt that there will be .
| material increase of the tax on whiskey
| and other distillery outputs. The proposi-
tion to increase the tax IS cents n gallon
oil wbiskey Is now being informally dis
cussed, and some mention Is made Of an
increase rs high ns so cents a gallon.
Among importers there is much com.
plant against the classification clauses of
the administrative act. and n committee
of New York importers. consisting OF r.
Il. Worrall and Daniel McKeever, to-day
presented their views on the subject to
Chairman Wilson and the treasury off,
cials. II is suggested that tho classifica-
tion question bo taken out of tho hands OF
tho general appraisers, leaving them to
act as appraisers OH questions OF value
only.

'TWOULD BE A BIG CRASH
London Excited 0Ysr Rumofs Affecting

Heavy Losses Are Reported to
Have Been Sustained on
Certain Securities.

LONDON. Nov. 15.-The city is disturbed
by persistent rumors of the impending
failure of large private bank. Up to 9
o'clock this evening II wns impossible to
obtain any accurate information on tho
subject.
LONDON. Nov. l6.-The Times this morn.
ing, referring to the rumors adverse to the
Bank Of England, says: An investigation
of certain Irregularities with regard to ad.
vances on securities is proceeding, but II
is probable that the losses will bo much
less than has been alleged aud the reports
Of the retirement of directors erroneous.
While il is difficult to fix tho blame
upon individual directors, we are OF
opinion that there must be a serious fault
in the system under which tho irregulari.
ties have occurred. II appear TO us that
on tho present occasion tho bank will be
well advised TO depart from it's customary
and proper practice of ignoring such
rumors and publish the facts which con.
cern the public in advace OF the half
yearly meeting. Though the bank 10 a
private corporation, il is also a national
institution, and, therefore, ought to reas.
sure the public when uneasiness has been
created by false rumors.

A Bill ny which He Proposed to Rem

edy Certain Bsuking Defects.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.-Congressman
William NJ. Springer, chairman OF the
committee on banking and currency, is
preparing bill to remedy the defects OF
tho national banking system, which he
will submit to members OF the committee
and hopes to get il before congress soon
after it assemblies. He says that the near
approach to tho time when the govern.
ment bonds are payable, tho limited vol
ume of such bonds and their high price,
demonstrate that othor security for circu-
lation must be resorted to IL we are to
have enough currency for the needs Of
the country.
To that end no will propose that the
bonds of states, OF counties and OF Ger.
tain municipalities, with proper regula-
tion and under government supervision,
be utilized for the purpose OF securing
circulation, and all banks, state as well as
national, depositing such securities shall
be permitted to take out currency to at
least 90 per cont Of their par value. Pro-
vision will also be made for additional sc.
curity in case of tho slightest deprccia-
ton in the value of these securities, and
the government is 10 assume sole respon.
sibility for the redemption of such notes
in coin on demand, for which purpose 1t
should keep a coin reserve OF ut least 20
per cent. of the outstanding circulation.
This would relieve the banks of keeping
bank reserves. or withholding any part OF
the currency issued from circulation
among the people.

The People of that Country Not at All
Pleased.
NEW YORK, June ia special to The
World from Managua, Nicaragua, says:
The landing of marines and sailors from
the American warship Atlanta, who es-
tablished a camp near the village of Santa
Fe, close to the canal, has caused the great
est excitement, even exceeding that which
prevailed during the last revolution or up
on the overthrow of Sacasa. The agita-
ton has extended to all classes, who fear
that the United States is taking possession
of the country and the passive attitude of
the government is severely commented up
on, even called treacherous.
The explanation of the American Off
Gals that they merely landed forces in
order to protect the property and works
was considered a subterfuge for such war
like preparations the landing of troops
without warning. placing artillery and
Hotchkiss guns in position, preparing the
place to withstand a seige, bringing to shore
a large quantity of supply and camp
equipage seems to indicate a long stay.
Crowds from this city went to Santa Fe
to see Los Americanitos, as the invaders
are called, and it is feared thal unless
some precautions are taken or a salts
factory explanation is given serious
trouble may arise.
A large deputation of citizens has been
chosen to demand an explanation from the
government. 1t was rumored that Gen
eral Montiel went to Santa Fe to demand
an explanation from the American Off
GERS there, but this was n OF generally cred
tied, as it is known that the American
minister was closeted with the cabinet for
more than an hour. There is report here
that the rest of the Central American gov
ernments will protest against this action
of the United States. a late rumor is that
the United States troops will be with
draw.
