TAXING BIG INCOMES.
The Measure That Is Proposed
by the Democrats.
It. Promises to Be Something of a
Task to Raise Sufficient
Revenue.

:: WASHINGTON. Nov. 18.-The members
of the Ways and Means Committee were In
conf renee for SIX hours to-day over the
new tariff bill. As result The bill is now
practically completed. and only awaits the
approval of the full Democratic mem ber-
ship. The sub Committee on Internal
Revenue is the only committee not fully
prepared to report, as the question of an
income tax fails within its Jurisdiction,
and until this matter of policy is decided
the detailed report of the conn ittee can
not be presented. The policy of an income
tax. however, has been favorably reported
by the subcommittee and the question ab-
sorbed most of the discussion of the day.
Final action on the matter was ultimately
deferred until next week.
The plan for an income tax as agreed
upon by the sub-comm ttee is not to tax
incomes of less than $4,000 per annum, but
to make a tax of per cent from that no to
S20.00U. per cent from the latter IN to
$4,000. and 10 per cent on all amounts
over $4,000
The subcommittee also recommends
favorable action On the bill by BRYAN of
Nebraska for the redemption of all United
States 2 per cent bonds, amounting to
some So. O00. 000. and the issue of treasury
notes for general circulation to take their
place. The idea Is to save the interest
and at the same time add to the circular-
ing medium.
LONDON, Nov. 1S.-The Daily News be-
lieves the real mission of Conrad l.. Jor-
dan. Assistant Treasurer at New York, is
connected with the Mckinley tariff law.

GRESHAM SURPRISED.
He Can Hardly Believe That Min.
lister Willis Has Failed.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 1S.-The dispatches
from Honolulu make 1t evident that the
people there, probably including the
Hawaiian officials. were. up 10 the time of
the sailing Of the Australia, in eutire
ignorance Of the decision reached by the
Pre- sideDt and bis Secretary of State that
LiliuokaIani should be restored. Instead
OF receiving such an intimatiop from
Willis, the Provisional Government ap-
pears to have been led to believe that the
present relations were to be in no way
disturbed. and instead Of interpreting the
demonstrations by the warsbip Pniadel-
phia as hostile. as might have been the
case had the Hawaiians been in possession
of the facts given out at Washington, they
seem to have reached The conclusion that
the move was intended as an assurance
Of determination upon the part of the
nited States to prevent internal dis
turbances.
All this goes to confirm the theory that
Willis discovered a state of affairs in
Hawaii which his instructions dfd not an
ticipate. Those who entertain this opinion
dwell upon the incidents Of the marshall
ing of the Hawaiian forces and the land
ing of the Philadelphia boats. We're
these boats lowered and manned with the
intention Of effrcting landing 10 the in
terests of the Queen. and was that under
standing given up when it was found that
the Hawaiian Government had 400 men
armed and prepared to take any steps nec-
essarv 10 protect the Government of Presi-
dent Dole?
They say. Mr.. Willis concluded, that
the time was not opportune for
coup d'etat. and that he decided to take
no decisive steps until he could com.

MEN READY TO FIGHT.
Easy to Raise Troops for the Pro.
ViSiOnai Government.


TACOMA, Nov. 18.-The News this aft
ernoon publishes the following: James
Cooper Wheeler of this city, a nephew of
+. B. Thurber. the New York grocer, sent
the following dispatch this morning to the
ConsuaGeneral of the Hawaiian Govern
ment at San Francisco:
"Charles T. Wilder, San Francisco .
Can furnish the Provisional Government
with two hundred able bodied men on
twenty-four hours notice. Can ship them
from Victoria. II will cost $50 per man a
month and expenses. They are reliable
men. Many of them are ex veterans.
Please answer.
JAMES COOPER WHEELER.
When boy Wheeler went with General
Spears, who organized company in New
York that took part In the Cuban revolu-
ton. Charles Vintob, who is associated
with Wheeler 10 the scheme. is a former
San Franciscan. He claims to have taken
part in the late Chilean war. and took a
shipload of men to Chile from California.
Wheeler was seen by a reporter this
morning, and was asked IL 1t was true
that be had made such proposition 10
the Hawaiian Government. He ackuowl-
euScu tuat IL was 500 saying tnat ne Ola
not desire at present to give the full de-
tails of the scheme.
us it not rather startling thing to
enlist men in this country to do war
service in another" was asked.
"Not at all. There has not been a sim
gle war or revolution OF any consequence
in South American countries for a great
many years in which Americans have no
participated. My work has simply been to
find out how many men approxima ing
could get to go 10 Honolulu. Such is my
mission. l know that On forty-eight
hours notice body of not less than $50
men could leave Puget Sound. There are
hundreds of lumbermen and sailors on
the Sound who have seen military duty of
one kind or another, and have n love for
the smell of gunpowder. l have got on
my list number of men who are ex-
veterans of our civil war;"
James T. Belcher, Vice. Consul of the
Hawaiian Provisional Government, Is here.
He said: II understand that such tele-
gram was sent to the Consul-General, but
l know nothing about the matter.
The morning call., 1893-11-19

until he could further communicate with
the Government at Washington.
II is believed by some that Admiral
Skrrrett on his arrival recently 10 San
Francisco forwarded to the State Depart
ment dispatch from Willis announcing
that in the three days which had elapsed
between his resching Honolulu and the
sailing Of the China he bad discovered
enough TO convince him that the restora-
ton of the Queen could not be accom-
plished without difficulty.
On the basis of this discovery. il Is
tn ough: he asked for further instructions.
which were sent By the Monowai, which
sailed yesterday from San Francisco. one
day late. But this theory, though PLUS
ible enough and entirely credita BILE to
Willis practical ssgacity, does not har-
monte with repeated declarations Of high
officials here that to-day's mail would In
faliibly bring news that the progra IN me had
been carried out ana that the Queen was
already in undisputed possession OF the
Government at Honolulu. Within twenty
four hours Secretary Gresham is known
to have said that the restoration OF Lilluo-
kalani was no longer a matter of specula-
ton, and that by all the laws of preba bill
ity she had for six or seven days been
seated on her throne.
Equally emphatic assertions as to the
rigid and sweeping character of Minister
Willis instructions have been made by
other officials of hig rank, and these
statements have become more direct and
positive from day to day.
There Is no likelihood that such une-
duivocal in timations Of what was ex-
pected to happen in Honolulu would have
been haZarded IL any word had come from
Willis suggest the impossibility of i'm
mediate action and the pr0priety OF both
caution and delay In any effort to restore
The weak and unpopular monarch who
had been driven by an lndign ant public
opinion from her throne.
Further to confirm the attitude of the
administration in maintaining its belle
hat its policy OF monarchial restoration is
being carried out without serious check, it
Is said with apparent auth ority tonight
that although Willis had apparently done
nothing definite up to November IA a
cipher dispatch from him under that date
reached the State Department to-day In
forming the Secretary that he was making
progress on the line of the mission confided
to him.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 19.-The President,
Secretary Gresham and P0stmaster-Gene
Bissell were in consultation at the White
House until 1880 O'Clock this Sunday
morning. but it is not known that the Ha-
waiian situation was the theme of discus
sion. The official advices received by the
Department of State from Minister Willis
to-day will not be given out for publca-
ton now, but 1t was ascertained that they
are of character entirely satisfactory to
the Secretary of State and not at all sur
prising to him. While he refuses to dis
cuss the contents or character of his ad-
vices from Minister Willis, ii can be said
that they are regarded by him as indicai-
Ing the correctness of the position taken bv
the administration. which he believes will
be ultimately accepted as the only attitude
1t is possible for this Government to adopt.
The morning call., 1893-11-19
SHE HAS BEEN RESTORED.
That Is the Claim Set Up by the
Administration.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 18.-To say that the
administration is implicitly nonplused at
the failure of the Australia to bring def
mite news of the restoration of Liliuokalani
to power in Hawaii mildly expresses the
present humor If officials. At both the
State and Navy departments evident cha
grin and vexation were manifested upon
the receipt of The Disappointing news just
brought from Hon olulu to San Francisco.
That Minister Willis had failed to exc
cute his orders to overthrow the Pro-
visonal Government and place Liliuo-
kalani on the throne. using for that pur-
pose. if necessary. the marines of the
Philadelphia and Adams, was at first
treated as almost incomprehensibl 1t
was plain that the loudly proclaimed
moral duty" of restoring the Queen to
:" her own" had miscarried, but no one
was prepared to show exactly why or how.
On all sides there was evidence Of NORTH
cation and dependency.
At first the tendency in administration
circles was to criticize Minister Willis for
culpabe delay. but this disposition finally
gave way to cautious attitude of sus.
pended judgment. of marked disinclinatinn
to discuss the Hawaiian situation from
any point of view.
This change was more noticeable after
the return Of Secretary Gresham from the
White House. where he went in haste on
hearing the news from San francisco.
The consultation between the President
and the Secretary lasted half an hour or
more.
1t was evident that the President had
cautioned his Secretary of State to main.
tain strict silence, and indicate neither by
word nor act the vexaton of the admins
fration. Proof of this was forthcoming
after the Secretary returned to his office
To repeated inquiries as to an explanaiion
of the absence of important news from
Honolulu. the Secretary would only reply !:
Il have nothing at all to say to-day; Doth-
ing at all"
The policy of silence had evidently been
enjolned on other leading officials as well
and in the two departments. the State and
Navy. ch.fly concerned with the Hawaiian
question it was most strictly observed.
Outside of official circles, where there is
an open effort to find some reasonable ex.
plapaiiop of Minister Willis failure to
execute his original orders. there Is much
confusion of opinion. At the Hawaiian
legation there is no definite or satisfactory
information to be obtained. 1t is said at
the legation that no further advices are
expected tonight.
No theory of Willis delay in upsetting
Preside t Dole's authority and restoring
Liliuokalani 10 power seems more generally
credited than that the Minister had been
invested with discretionary powers and
that be had found the state Of things In
Hawaii so different from what had been
supposed that he withheld positive action

MORGAN AND SHERMAN.
Both Gentlemen Decline to Discus.
Hawaiian Affairs

WASHINGTON. Nov. Ex-senator Nor
gan, ch airmaD of the Committee on For
e'gn Relations, was requested TO express
his opinion on he Hawaiian situation to-
day. but declined TO scuss the question,
saying that In TACT the status was in no
wav changed. Pressed to siate his views
upon the rumor reported from Honolulu
that Willis had taken a new annexation
treaty with him for negotiation with the
Provisional Government, he said he did
not believe it IT. be true, but declined to
give his reasons for this view.
Senator Sherman, senior Republican
member OF the Senate Committee on For
elgn Relations, was also seen by an As
ISOLATED Press reporter. II must adhere"
ne said. ITO my determination to express
no opinion on fine Hawaiian question. My
position as member of the Committee ON
Foreign Relations renders it possible that
l may be called upon at any time to pass
upon 1t iudically."

John MeNeary was arrested at 1l:50

and Cucihee. There was no conversation
relative TO the charge. and II will not be
known until this morning whether he IS
the right man, as Mr.. Goldson, who saw
the attack. could not be found TO identify
him. McNeary told Jaiier Stepler that q
man will sometimes do things when he is
drunk that he would never think of under
other circumstances.
McSeary is the man who served thirty
months in the penitent.ary at Waisa

from the Lake Shore depot. He got away
with them, but unfortunately ran into

THE CORPSE A FAKE.
Meadow Point Suicide Proves
to Be a Practical Joke.
A DUMMY HEADS A PROCESSION.
Coroner Horton Called to Hold an In-
quest on q Bogus Corpse-rhe
Suspected Jokevs.

The supposed suicide of Carol Dean at
Meadow point proves to have been a hoax
played by some practical jokers on the
people of Ballard. but when some of the
hoaxed found out how they had been inn
posed upon, they carried the joke still
further. until they had the whole town
laughing, the only man who took it
seriously being Coroner Horton.
About dozen of the leading citizens
went out to the place where the boat and
the note signed with Carol Deans name
had been found, and made a diligent
search for the body of the supposed sui
eide. all. with possibly one exception, be-
ing earnest in the belief that there was a
body TO be found. Failing to find it. they
came TO the conslusion that they had
been hoaxed, and rather than figure as
the victims agreed 10 play it out to q
finish. Accordingly they gathered to-
gether some old clothes and dressed up
dummy corpse, which they carried
through the streets and along Ballard
avenue to the hose house.
The report that the body had been
found spread like wildiire all over the
town and great crowd followed the pro-
cession through the streets. even some of
those who aided in carrying the dummy
believing that it was a genuine fugitive
from life. s ,me persons hastily rushed
into the West Coast mill Office and tele-
phoned to Coroner Horton, who immedi-
ateIy went ont with his stenographer to
hold an inquest. Then the truth came
out and the coroner returned to the city
full of indignation. Some of the iokers
even went so far as to make a collection 10
pay the funeral expenses and one or two
citizens who are not remarkable for their
large contributions to charitable objects
are said to have subscribed quite literally.
THIS fund was expended in smiling" over
the joke.
The perpetrators of the trick were evil
IDENTIFY afraid to reveal their identity after
they had seen how seriously the coroner
took it, bnt two young men who have COR
responded for some of the Seattle
papers are suspected of having devised
and carried out the scheme. with the aid
of q third person, as they have several
times made attempts of the same kind.
That young man, who is unknown, hired
the boatlrom Mrs. T. w. Lake and went
out to Meadow Point in it is certain: so
also is the fact that the note published in
yesterdays PosT-ISTELLIGEScEg was found
in il by Lars Nelson, Ole Moe and Ole
Anderson, but whether there is any such
person as Carol Dean and whether he is
alive or dead is mystery. Whoever
were in the plot must have acted in coIiu-
sion with this unknown man.
