An Ell Paso Man Arrested for Circulating

Special to The Statesman.

Special to The Statesman
Ell PAso, Nov. 30.-Qulte sensa-
ton was created here about o'clock
by the arrest of Victor l.. Ocha, a
we'll known local politician and editor.
He is not native of the United States
but has lived here many years and is
an American citizen and has filled
offices of trust in the county. He has
been at different times connected with
the Spanish American press and was
very recently editor of Hispan-Ameri-
can, a weekly paper supposed to be de-
voted to Mexican interests on this side
of the river. He has been accused of
circulating printed matter for the en-
couragement of the Santa Perez revo
luton in the Palomas country, and for
several days it has been whispered
that he would be arrested. Today
complaint was made by representa-
tive of the Mexican government and
he was arrested by Deputy Marshal
Scarborough. Ochoa says that being an
American citizens he is Disguised with
the proceedings. 1t is believed that
number of arrests are contemplated at
very early date. The Mexican con
SUI. thinks he has the names of several
members of the government organized
by the revolutionists, and that two of
them are well-known citizens of the
United States. 1t is also said that
another of the generals will
be here in a few days.
and he is closely watched,
in order to secure his arrest the moment
his feet touch American soil. Consul
Sayas is to be absent from the city for
a few days, and it is almost certain
that he is going to the City of Mexico
to make a personal report of the con
dition of affairs on the borders. This
shows that the president is at last
anxious, though he doubtless feels GER
tain of being able to crush out the re-
bellion when he puts his hand to it.

WARRINGTON NEWS.
ADJUSTING THE REVENUE.


WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-The meeting
of the ways and means committee to-
day was brief. Estimates showing
the probable difference in revenue re-
sulting from the new bill are not COM
plete and the committee adjourned
until Monday. The labor of estimat-
ing the revenue under the new tariff
bill has progressed far enough to war
rant the statement that on a basis of
imports of 1892 the loss of revenue re-
sulting from the enactment of the new
bill and the repeal OF the Mckinley
act will be about $6O,0OO,OOO per an
mum. This is on supposition that
imports under the new bill will be no
greater than under the present law.
1t is the conclusion of Chairman Will
sen and associates that importations
will be so stimulated under the new
bill that the loss of revenue
will not be over $4,000, 900.
This deficit it is proposed to make
up by tax on incomes of corporations,
on SUGGESTIONS and playing cards, by
increasing the tax on cigarettes and
perhaps whisky. Tarsney clings to
the belief that the deficit cannot be
supplied without extening the income
tax to individuals.
The Democratic members of the
committee on ways and means meet
tomorrow to further consider the in
come tax and internal revenue sched-
ules. In relation to whisky, the ex-
pressions of the committee give no
reason tor believing the increase will
exceed 10 cents per gallon and some
think it doubtful whether there will
be any increase at all or not. The SUBJ
committee is debating the advisability
of making an increase in the whisky
tax applicable to all whisky on hand
at the time the new tariff law goes into
effect.
WANT swINDLER MENACE.
The department of state has applied

MARRIAGES IN CHuRcH.-The Peters

a church as something like a circus, to
which everybody claims the right of adj
mission, and, in entire disregard of the
solemnity of the acts there performer,
to indulge in laughter and converse 9,,,
ton to their hearts content. The ar
cunent that these disgraceful scenes
are promoted by the ostentatious dis;
play in which some people seem fond
Of of indulging when celebrating a In. mar
rage will hardly hold good. What,
ever may be thought of the show and
parade that places one of the most
beautiful events in persons life upon
the level of vulgar exhibition, the
general public is not by that fact justi-
fled in breaking down the barriers of
common deceucy, and conduct of that
sort ought to be rebuked in every pos
sible manner.
