Keys to Secret boom Given TO tho Demo.
cratic Committee Members.
WASHINGTON. Sept. 26.-In conversation to-
day Chairman Wilson said that he had already
begun work on his tariff bill and that unless
some respected difficulties arose there would
probably be no sub-committses appointed on
the several schedules. as was done in the case
of the Mckinley bill. He added that no an
given out until the completed bill was ready
for presentation to the House.
Chairman Wilson to-day distributed to tho
Democratic members OF the committee pass
keys to little private room in the basement OF
theHouse wing. whore the proposed tariff meas
ure is to be constructed. The keys were handed
to individual members with directions as to
where the lock which they would fit might be
found. Secrecy was observed in the distrlbu-
ton. and. II member OF the COM
mittee happened to be talking to an
outsider when Chairman Wilson passed
the Chairman simply handed over the key
and added that he would explain later. 1t has
always been the custom Of the majority Of
the Ways and Means Committee to work in a
private room. the custom having been in
augurated when Mills Of Texas evolved the ILL
fated Dark lantern" bill. and the situation
OF the room soon becomes known to every
body. 1t is said upon the authority Of two
Pennsylvania Congressman that the Tariff bill
has practically been framed and is now in tho
possession OF Chairman Wilson. 1t is further
said that the Democratic members OF the COM
mittee will first hold secret sessions to con-
slider the bill and m axe such changes in 1t as
they deem advisable.

These castaways wore not OF the convention

They are two foolish Newfoundland fisher

they rowed from their schooner. the Poppy.

A fog descended upon them. and. having no
compass. they did not know which way to row.
either to find the buoy or the schooner.
Whom the fog lifted bit there was nothing
in sight save sky. water. and horizon. They
had nothing to eat or drink In their dory. The

PLANS FOR MORE RErENUE
An Alleged Administration Plan to Inoreas,
the Tax on Besr.

WASHINGTON. Sept 28-It is said. upon the
authority Of q Senator. who lie close to the Adj
minlstration. that bill will soon be intro
duced in the House providing for increasing
the revenues OF the Government by the i'm
position of an additional internal revenue tax
on beer and whskey. 1t is said that Secretary
Carlisle has informed tho leaders OF the Ad-
mnistration forces In Congress that the re-
ceipts from customs and revenue are running
behind the expenditures at the rate OF about
$lo,OO0,0O0 per month.
The subject has been seriously considered
for some time. and now 1t is understood that
immediate relief must he applied Increase
Of tho internal revenue tax has often been sug-
gested. but until recently none OF the Treas
ury officials could he induced to admit that
such plan was In contemplation. This sub
Iect has been whispered over at the Capitol for
two or three days. and II Is said the bill may
be presented in the House within the next
week or ten days
Some OF the brewers have been notified Of
the proposed increase. and one Of the most
prominent brewers In the United States went
before the Committee on Ways and Means to-
day and informe ed Chairman Wilson that, in the
event Of the introduction Of bill. as reported.
he would like to have an opportunity to oppose
the measure.
Mr.. Wilson declines to be interviewed on the
subject further than to say that he has no
official knowledge Of the intention OF the
Secretary OF the Treasury to recommend the
introduction and passage Of such q bill. and
further. that the subject Is not now being con-
sidered by the Ways and Means Com mlttee.
Several members OF Congress say that II tho
revenues are to be increased the additional
taxation may be imposed upon beer and whis-
key. with less injury to the people generally
than upon any other article OF such wide con-
sumption. 1t is said that some Of the dis
tilleries are now running night and day to
manufacture surplus supply. In expectation

Mr.; Talbert dem. $. O.. speaking in regard
TO allusionst to DISCRIMINATION toward the negro
race In the South. inquired as to how many

vision granting the Government right 10

Mr.. Brosius replied that It gave him profound
satisfaction to answer the question. This
power conferred In the Constitution had not
been called into requsition in the history OF
tho country before the war because villainy
and wrong were progressive, and the fathers
and their Crapdsirea had never conceived OK
the means which had since been conceived to
deprive certain citizens Of their rights.
, Mr.. Compton responded with the remark
that tho reason that the constitutional az:
thority had been invoked was that iC had
never entered into he conception Of any party
except the Republican party that this Gov
ernment could act the part OF a tyrant over

SAN Francisco. Sept 20.-Early this morn
Ing the police were notified that valise con-
tanning nearly nifty pounds OF dynamite had
been found in lodging house at GSl Mission
street. 1t was removed. and facts were dis
closed which make 1t probable that part Of
this explosive was used In Sunday mornings
outrage on Main street.
Tho dynamite was stolen from q grading
camp near Golden Gate Park somo time be-
fore Saturday. On Saturday night a young
man called at the lodging house and left the
valise. saying he would roturn shortly and
engage room.
This morning, tho man not having returned,
the valise was opened. The detectives expect
to connect this find with the explosion. as the
crime was committed only few hours after
the vali-e was deposited. broken and
twisted piece Of cIockwork found near the
scene OF the outrage makes IT certain that the
deadly bomb was not fired 10y an ordinary fuse.
