THE INCOME TAX,
Treasury Department Making Arrange
ments for Its Enforcement.

Trei.sur! Department Making Arrange
ments for Its Enforcement.
WAsHINGToN, Nov. S.-The work pre-
liminary to carrying into effect the new
income tax is going forward as rapidly
as its nature will permit, under the
direction of Mr.. VIM. II. Pugh, who, on
October last, was appointed superin-
tendent of the income tax.
A number of complicated and interest
ing questions have arisen under former
lave, and anticipating that questions
will arise in the future Of equal import
ance, it is essential for their solution to
understand what has been the former
Legislation Of congress, the decisions of
the courts, and the rulings of the de-
partment upon the subject of the in
come tax. With this view Mr.. Pugh has
been occupied since his appointment in
examining and preparing digest of the
court decisionsand the department rul-
ings compiled under their respective
headings. He has also prepared a COM
parison of all the former laws upon the
income tax. arranged so that all the pro.
visions heretofore made upon the same
subject shall appear properly grouped
and any one at glance can see the vari-
GUS changes and notifications that have
taken place.
There have been several acts upon the
subject of the income tax. The first was
passed August 5, 1861. Under this act,
however, nothing was done. The act
failed to provide many provisions con-
tanned in the subsequent legislation both
as to the subjects Of taxation and the
methods Of collection. These were pro.
vided for in subsequent acts. The Sec
ond act was passed July l, 1862; the third
act June 80, 1864; the fourth act March
3, 1865; the fifth act March 9, 1867. I'm
der the first act $500 was the amount re-
sey ged from taxation and the rate of tax
was D per cent on all sums over that
amount, Under the act OF July l, 1862,
The amounts reserved from tax were as
follows: IL the income exceeded 5000
and did not exceed $4,000 duty of 5
per centum upon the amount exceeding
5000. Under the third act 1900 was ex
empted and the duty was per cent on
the excess; under the fourth and fifth
acts s 900 was free from taxation and
the amount of tax was per cent on the
All cunt in excess Of that sum.

forced TO put back to Newfoundland for
repairs. In August she tried again, and
in spite Of icelields and strong tidal
drift, found an open passage ran from
the straits to York Factory in five days,
reached all the stations and brought off
most OF the men. Captain Gordon con-
sidered the straits navigable by suitably
built steamers for four months in the
year by following winding courses or by
drifting with the ice, as the whalers do.

The German embassy has received no

Heretofore few firms have controlled

is done in England, France and Ger
many, will make it impossible in the fu-

NEW YORK.
New YORK, Nov. The scene on

conceded by the democrats that Morton
had won the governorship and Strong

thusiasm. When bulletins began to
/ play returns at O'clock there were
;13but 1900 persons on Park Row, but
daring the following two hours the
sGrowd was augmented by a continuous
etream Of people from uptown districts.
BY o'clock fully 10000 thronged the
y thoroughfares, blocksding the walks and
simpeding the horee and cable cars.
When the concession by the democrats
was announced there seemed to be three
republicans for every democrat present.
The assemblage was very orderly and
seemed to be more Of respectable class
than that which usually visits Park Row
on election night. Tammany men who
we're down town had no excuse to offer
for their overwhelming defeat, and one
of their leaders said: "This will lead to
Thorough reorganization of the damo-
cratic party in this city and will bring
good results two years from now" Ex.
Mayor Grant tonight admitted his de-
feat. He said: "On the retirement of
Mr. Strauss l thought it my duty to the

they have been in the past. 1t is the
