AN INCOME TAX.
The Question Being Discussed at
the Treasury Department.
IT MAY Be MADE A SEPARATE BILL.
The President Not Yet Decided as
to His Course.
LATEST SUGAR PROPOSITION.

Representative McMillin of Tennessee
Representative Tom l.. Johnson of Ohio
and Mr.. Thomas G. Sherman of Brooklyn
were closeted at the Treasury Department
for some time today discussing the question
OF an income tax. "A stenographer was
present and notes were taken of the discus
sion, to be presented to the ways and means
committee to aid in the considerable of
the question of an income tax
one of the propositions now advanced,
and which is receiving some consideration
Is to make separate issue of the income
tax plan, detaching 1t entirely from the tar
III bill and Incorporating it in a separate
bill to be reported from the ways and
means committee. This plan is said to have
some advocates, while others maintain that
the income tax, If it is decided upon, should
be Incorporated in the tariff bill and made
part and parcel of the democratic policy
of raising revenue.
1t was said today that there Is a posi-
bility of the President submitting a special
message to Congress upon the income tax
proposition. 1t is reported, however, that
the President is still undecided about the
policy to be pursued in this matter, and is
not ready at this time to take any pro-
nounced stand in the premises
Ine Latest sugar Proposition.
The latest proposition regarding the sugar
schedule and the one likely to be adopted is
to make the duty ad valorem instead of
specific. The rate will probably be % per
cent, which will amount to one-half a cent
a pound on two-cent sugar, and one cent a
pound on fine sugar worth four cents. The
advocates of the ad valorem system claim
that it will prevent any inequality and in

which have arisen under former tariffs.
and led to repeated charges of fraud at
New York and other of the more promi-
nent eastern commercial centers. 1t is also
argued that it will impose the same rate of
tax on the sugar of the poor as on that of
tne rich, instead of a constantly rising
rate, which results from the specific duty,
as the sugar grows poorer in quality.
Inc revenues under this duty will be
about S6o.OO0.0OO a year. without, it is be-
lieved, increasing the cost of the article to
the consumer.

DIR. CRONIN's MURDER.
Story Revealed With Important
Bearing on Dan COughIin's Trial.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Nov. ga morning paper
says that the grave in which the assassins
of DIR. Patrick Cronin had planned to bury
their victim has been discovered. The grave
is just large enough to admit the trunk in
which the murdered man was taken from
the Carlson cottage, and it can be seen
today. The wind and weather have not yet
filled up the hole dug in the earth. 1t was
visited yesterday.
Connected with this grewsome spot is
story never before told and one that will
doubtless have important bearing on the
trial Of Daniel Coughlin, now engaging the
attention of Judge Tuthill. Besides this
the location of the grave clears up an i'm
portant incident of the early Sunday morn
ing drive of the murderers in their frantic
efforts to dispose of the trunk and it's
awful contents.
The grave is situated in a dense and
lonesome wood near Northwestern avenue
and Graceland avenue, which is in the
extreme western portion of Lakeview, the
suburb in which the corpse of DIR. Cronin
was found. The catch basin from which
the corpse was taken is on Evanston
avenue north of 5yth street, considerab bly,
nearer the city and the Carlson cottage
than the site of the grave.
the discovery not only corroborates the
stories told by residents of the neighbor-
hood that they saw the wagon containing
Lakeview west of Ashland avenue but
furnishes the explanation that the MUIR
derers were en- route to the prepared grave
in the wood when seen, but either lost
their way or were frightened into turning
back.
About two weeks before the tragedy a
farmer living in the northern suburb chanc-
ed TO be near the scene of the grave dig
ging, when he saw a buggy containing a
woman and two men stop 100 yards away
from where he Rad stopped to rest. One
OF the men jumped from the vehicle with
shovel in one hand and q bundle done up
in a newspaper in the other. This man
scaled a fence and disappeared in the ad-
joining wood An hour PASSED and the
man reappeared with the shovel, but with
out the bundle, and the three drove away.
The watcher noticed the grave diggers
features, and his description satisfies the
police that the man was "Cooney the Fox"
the uncaught conspirator. The farmer
searched the wood and discovered a hole
seven feet deep. Lying near it was blue
blouse and a pair of oVeralls.
His testimony will be presented at Cough
Inns trial. well other new evidence.
1t would have been given at the first trial.
but the farmer did not associate what he
saw with the Cronin murder until months
afterward. when he saw, in the city, the
woman who had been in the buggy with
the two men and was told by friend that
she was closely allied to the men charged
with the murder.

He went directly to Paint Rock, the con-
Meeting point of the Richmond and Danville

ne left the train. it is said. on account of
the Inability of the conductor to under

fare. A few days later Mr.. ID. w. Allen a
citizen living in that vicinity. wrote to the
mayor of Asheville that the Chinaman had
been seen i'm the woods there. and that he
mad been beaten and was almost nude and
appeared to be in a demented condition He
was wild, apparently. and would flee from
those who tried to approach him. 1t was
known that two fellows named Ward and
Morris of that section had been seen beat
ing the Chinaman with an AK. stones, etc,
after robbing him of his money. and that
they had then set some dogs on him who
tore his flesh fearfully. He could not
speak or understand English. 1t is the
general opinion of the people in that neigh
borhood that he wandered off into the
mountains or into some dense thicket and
there died from sheer exhaustion and pain,
or that he was hunted up by his brutal as
sailants and finished and his body sunk in
the French Broad river. Ward and Morris

The Hawaiian Star in an editorial, under
the caption Time for a Response" says:
1t is now over ten months since the pro-
Vlsional government of the Hawaiian Is
lands asked the American government a
fair question and there has been no answer.
For nearly year and for no obvious cause
the people of these islands have been kept
in a state of suspense. which has been, and
is yet, detrimental to business and immigra-
ton.
Even the coming of Mr. Willis has
not thrown any light upon the matter of
annexation. We submit that this reticent
policy on the part of the United States has
been and is unfair and unjust to the gov
eminent and the people and especially to
American interests in these islands-inter-
eStS that have a right to look to Washing
ton for a ready and helpful hand
We submit that every day which is al

of Mr.. Cleveland's policy is a day which

us have an end of this business soon. That
is the common hope of the royaIists and

Growing Navy.

The Navy Department has been informed
that the cruiser Marblehead. sister ship to
the Detroit and Montgomery, is ready for
her official trial. A naval board will be ap-
pointed in a few days to determine by a
practical test whether she meets her con-
tract requirements. 1t is expected that she
VIII be tried in the open sea early next
month. The Marblehead was taken out to
sea for short spin Tuesday. Those who
made the trip were Commander Charles

the vessel; Chief Engineer Cleasmaf Passed

twenty miles past Sandy Hook, and there
was no hitch of any kind. No estimates of
speed We're made. The Marbehead is now
at her dock in New York and will remain
