FRESNO, April 30.-About 5 go this
afternoon report reached Fresno that
Evans and Sontag had stopped stage
between Visslis and Sequois, about q
mile and half this side OF Camp Badg-
or. The robbers, 1t is said, were un-
masked and made no attempt at dis
guise. After .robbing the passengers
they permitted the stage to proceed.
The robbers were recognized as Evans
and Sontag. The railroad officials here
have heard of the affair, but
doubt that Evans and Sontag
were the men who stopped the stage.
They believe if they were the men, the
purpose was to attract the officers TO
the hills so that they would be able to
operate on the railroad without molesta-
tion. Others, however, do not think it
likely that the robbers would attempt
to stop. a train ON bright nights like the
present ones. Officers from Tulare state
that the stage was stopped, but that
Evans and Sontag were not the men
who did it. The game is too small and
nothing could be gained thereby.
ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
vIsAIIA, Cal. April 30.--The Visalia

The stage was on its way to the mill and
about six miles from it the bandits
came out of the brush with leveled
guns. The four passengers were
commanded to get out and
empty their pockets. Finding that
the passengers we're not officers they
were told to get back in the stage and
drive on. Sontsg told the driver that
he would see him again, and said /:
Whenever you see us, stop" Both
bandits were armed with gums and six
shooters. They left toward Camp Badg-

HISTORY OF THE INCOME TAX.

The First Bill of the Kind Reported in
the Extra Session of 1891.
The Ways and Means Committee are ask
ing for history Of the income tax in the
United States, and Treasury officers have
been looking the thing up. It was during
the extra session of Congress in 1861 that
Thad Stevens, chairman of the Committee
Of Ways and Means, reported the first in
come Tax bill. As amended and passed, II
taxed all incomes over $500 3per cent unless
derived from United States bonds, which
were taxed IL per cent Incomes OF citizens
ofthe United States residing abroad were
taxed "A per cent. Owing to the late time
of its taking effect the income tax brought
into the Treasury but q small sum prior to
the year 1864 when there was collect
ed under the head Of income tax little
over tl5, ,000, 600. BY the act of March 3,
1885, the income tax law was amended 30
as to increase the per cent. tax TO per
cent, and the five per cent. tax on incomes
over tl0, 600 was changed to 10 per cent.
tax upon the excess over u, 600 income.Th
most of the tax for the year however, was
collected under the, original law and brought
into the treasury the sum Of e2l ,OOO00 Tor
the fiscal year ls8l-ls65. The following
year ls05.lS68, the war having ceased and
the country being In high state OF develop
ment in all its resources, the income tax
rose to point the highest ever reached in
the history of the tax. The returns for the
fiscal year ended June 80, 1865, showed
total revenue from the income tax Of &00,-
547, ,SS2 43. This was but little diminished
In the following year, lS66-ls07, when the
next revenue from the income tax footed
up S57. .0i0 $40 81.
The income tax was further amended
March 2. 1867, SO as to increase the exemp-
ton then standing at 5000 Ut having in the
meantime been modified from $500 TO ST.
BOO. At the same time all discrimination
as to taxing large incomes higher rate was
abolished and the tax fixed at per cent, on
all incomes in excess OF 81 600
Under this modified tax there was collect
ID in the year 1868 the large sum of 1924
$40 rs; in 1869, s25, OPS. .06S S6, and in the
fiscal year ended Jnne 30 1870, s27 ll5, ,046
IL. On that day the income tax ceased in
the United States.
The entire amount realized from It in ten
years was nearly 1896, 600, 900. 1t reached
about 250, 900 persons out Of population Of
i0 600. 900.

Suspensions of Pensions Made for Cause

Secretary of the Interior Hoke Smith, in
his annual report, call attention to the pen
sion frauds discovered by the special exam
liners at Norfolk Va, andin New Mexico and
Iowa. Tho stoppage Of these illegal pensions
have saved an amount equal to the entire
force Of special examiners. Referring TO
the Act of June 27, 1890, the report says
a board OF revision was formed of the ablest
and most experienced men in the Pension
Bureau, with instructions to eTamine the
cases allowed under II and call ont such as
had no legal basis. In cases where II was
sustained and another medical examination
was thought necessary the payment OF the
pensions was ordered suspended pending in
yestigaton.
The pensioner was not dropped from the
rolls but the payment OF his pension was
suspended and 90 days notice given him in
which he could ask for medical examina
ton or supply further evidence ofhis right
TO pension. The examination OF his proof
having disclosed that he was not entitled to
apension he WAS told that the payment Of
ms pension was suspended until he could
put on record a case which would authorize
payment.
Many thus suspended were able to supply
once resumed. The former practice in re-
gard to suspensions was also modified in
cases where the proof on file disclosed the
fact that the pensioner was entitled to some
rating, although not to the rating which
had been allowed him.

manner ofsuspending pensioners and denies
that any abandonment has taken place OF

No Visible Improvement and the Indica-
tions Less Satisfactory Than
Week Ago.
X. @. Dun Il Co.'S Weekly Review Of
Trade, New York, says:
Trade OF all kinds is waiting There is
no visible improvement and on the whole
the indications are a little less satisfactory
than they were week ago. The specula-
tive markets have not moved much.
Railroad earnings are fairly encouraging
for they show a decline of only per cent.
compared with last year and in freight
earnings the decrease is only I per cent.
Wheat has risen shade; the Western re-
ceipts were only 3,577 ,2sl bushels, against
6,694, 1870 for the same week last year, while
the exports from Atlantic ports were only
427 ,484 bushels, against 1872, ,45o for the
same week last year. The receipts of corn
were unusually large, amounting TO 3,227,-
III bushels against 2, 766, 760 for the same
week last year, and the exports were sS9,-
0s6 bushels, against 627 500 last year.
In the iron and steel manufacture there
are symptoms of improvement. There is a
feeling that the new steel rail com bination
will result in decided increase in the de-
mand for rails and also for pig iron.
The exporting Of gold at this time is evil
dence that Europe has been selling large
amount of securities in this market and there
is feeling that such sales may easily be
pushed far enough to cause serious disorder
The bank reserves amounting to tl9s, ,000,-

money here Is somewhat dangerous to
