TUCKER CANvAssEs THE HOUSE.

He Finds 175 Members in Favor of an
Income Tax.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1O.-Tucker, of
Virginia, has been canvassing the situ-
alton in the House with view OF de-
termining the chances Of the income
tax proposition when it comes TO vote.
The conclusion is that the vote will be
very close.
BE figures that 100 Democrats o Pop
ulists and 6 Republicans, will support
the proposition. Tucker is of the opin-
ion that the Repu blicans and the Dem
ocratic opponents of the income tax, il
they cannot secure voting majority,
will insist upon quorum of the advo
Gates Of the proposition and here he
thinks the chief danger lies.

Allen and Barron Are Ready to Step

final understanding as 10 when and where their
next and deciding battle would take place
Jackson Will now rest al ease until Corbett will
once again put foot on American soil, when he
will be on hand to meet him and talk business.
The Imperial Athletic Club has made com.
plete arrangeme hts for the contest between
Allen and Barron, which is slated for the even :
ing Of the Goth inst. at COlma. The pugilists
are now in fine con ditiOn and having had long
rest from duty they are more than anxious TO
measure arms within tbe ropes. Allen has not
had finish contest during bis vacation on the
Pacific Slope and consequently majority of
the sporting men are puzzle q in their attempts
at calculation. They all contend, however,
that he is ii thoroughly clever fellow and should
hold his own against any man of his weight in
this or any other country. Barron has proven
himself hard nut to crack and the chances
are that he will be selling favorite on the even
ing of the contest. The match is certainly
good one and the patrons of The game who
have been shut out of their favorte sport for
few years will have an opportunity OF seeing
what should prove TO be wel-contested match

The cock pheasants are magnificent birds OF

Nearly the whole Of Oregon and Washington
Is spread over with the progeny OF fifteen
of the BIRDS originally sent over about seven
years ago by Mr.. Denny, Consul TO one OF the
China seaports. The fesh of the birds is most
highly esteemed by those who have tried it.
The birds succeed and flourish best in mild
climates. They Increase more abundantly in
