EAsTroRT, Jan. 30.-The easterly storm
which began here last night was, with pos.
sibly one exception, the most severe that
has visited this section since the famous
Ssxby gale Of 1863. The possible excsI
ion was the blizzard of March l3, 1888,

oast, especially at New York city.
The gale last night began about 8 o'clock,
when the thermometer at the weather bureau
station recorded 80 miles an hour.

miles from the northeast at mid :

ACROSS HIS BOW.
Cana Hears the Sound Of Ad-
miral Benham's Guns.
Reckless Firing by Insurgents at Rio
! Brought to Sudden End.
Thought that CANA Wsuid Lite 10 Surrsndsr
10 Uncle Sam.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.-The news con-
tanned in the dispatch from Admiral Ben
ham to Secretary Herbert, today, was to
the following effect: 1t seems that Ad-
miral Benham lost patience with the insur-
gent forces for their careless firing In the
harbor of Rio.
When Admiral Da CANA persisted in his
reckless course, Admiral Benham, yester-
day. cleared his decks for action. Admiral
Da Cana did not take the hint, whereupon
A lmiral Benham fired several shots across
the bows Of Da Gana's fiagship. II is un-
derstood that this action was salutory, and
the matter ended at that point.
1t is believed at the state department that
Da Cana would willingly force . fgl I
with the American naval forces to get cut
of his difficulty by surrendering to the
United States. This In brief 10 the dis
patch, so it 10 said.
The complications that may follow are re-
garded as likely to be serious. Our fleet at
Rio 10 much stronger than that of the'rebel
admiral and it is not likely that the latter
would sdd to the number Of his assailants
by engaging in a conflict with Admiral
Benhsm.
Additional cables were received from
Rio this morning and they were taken
directly to the White House. After the
cabinet meeting this afternoon, Secretary
Herbert positively denied the rumors cir
culated that Da Cana had surrendered to
Admiral Benham, but declined to give
further information.

IN THE HOUSE.
Vigorous Opposition Being Shown to ths
Income Tax Bill.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3O.-The House very
promptly went into committee Of the whole
to consider the tariff bill this morning. Or
motion of Richardson, it dispensed with the
call of the committees for reports. Covar,
finished his speech against the bill. Pig
gott, in speaking of the income tax, said il
was the duty of Congress to provide the
country with sufficient revenue to cover the
deficit caused by the Mckinley law. He
suggested that as soon as the country tided
over its difficulties the operations of the law
be suspended, and suggested that the opera
tions of this bill be limited to three years.
Walker spoke in opposition to the income
tax bill. The men who would be reached
by the income tax, he SAID, were only such
men as those who controlled the manufac.
turing and transportation industries, who
did the most toward developing he re.
sources and wealth Of the country. They
were the men who were making the country
worth living in. In doing 80 they benefit
ted the poor man more than themselves, for
no man could accumulate fortune who did
not serve his fellowmen . thousand times
more than be did himself.
He meiotained that even under existing
circumstances, taxes were paid by the rich,
not by the poor. He said that large for.
tunes were taxed by natural means; and by
attempting to tax the rich and exempt the
poor, the poor we're struck every time. He
said the bill gave the tax collector power
that no Judge in the country possessed.
Cochran said that while he and those who
sgreed with him on this question we're will
ing to vote for the bill for revenue only,
they had been asked to add to 4 revenue
bill an income taxa special tax levied u
So, 900 people out Of 65,000,00O. 1t pro-
posed to deliberately create . tax class.
He regarded the proposition a, blow at
the fundamental principal on which the
government was founded, and is an enter
ing wedge in condition which would ulti-
mately result in the Acknowledgement Of q
large number Of American citizens. He
reviewed the arguments that he gave in 4
speech few weeks ago in which be showed
that reduction Of the tariff would result
in an increase Of revenue. He stated that
be always believed that it was the duty Of
this people to support the government by
tariff levied for revenue only.
Several other speeches we're made, and
the House took recess. At the night ses-
sion Coombs appealed to the committee on
ways and means to withdraw the Wilson
bill and revise it. Several other speeches
were made. Adjourned.
