bett-Mitchel prize fight will not take
place IN Florida unless the Supreme Court
of this State decides that there is no law
prohibiting such fight. 1t will not be
necessary to proclaim martial law to pre-
vent such fight. but were it necessary |
should not hesitate to proclaim it. as l am
determined to prevent this fight by any
and all means within the reach of the ex-
ecutive. There can be no doubt as to my
position, and people who cUme here with
the expectation of seeing the laws of the
State violated by two thugs and their
aiders and abettors will be disappointed.

BOurke Cochran Could Not Save
the Administration.
The Ways and Means Committee Has
Decided to Tax Individual
Incomes.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2-The advocates of
the individual income tax proposition were
triumphant at the meeting of the Demo
cratic Ways and Means Committee this
afternoon. Eleven members were present
when the final meeting was held at the
Treasury Department at O'Clock. Issue
was joined on two ropCsitions-One to
levy tax of 2 per cent against individual
incomes of over $4,000 and against the net
incomes from corporations, and a second
proposition, offered as a substitute by
Cochran. of New York to tax incomes from
corporations ! per cent and inhertances 5
per cent. TO place a tax of 10 cents on
whisky and restore sugar to the dutia Bile
list at half a cent a pound. The vote on

1t was also decided to increase the
whisky tax 10 cents gallou-from 90 Genus
to S1-to be levied against whisky in as

tion that this increase would work undue
hardship to owners of whisky in bond it
was decided to extend the bonded period
from three to eight years.

fixed at cents per pack. was reduced TO
2 cents, and the contemplated tax on per-
fumes and cosmetics was discarded.

cigars, but the increase on cigarettes of 81
per 1000 was allowed to stand.

on incomes from corporations and inGi-
viduals. corporations being treated as
individuals, will raise $780, 600, 900 revenue,
S12, 100000 from corporations, and S18,-

AVOWED HIS GUILT.
Arrest of the Chief of the Spanish
Anarchists.
Tried to Kill Himself and Was Sorry

Mischief.

MADRID. Jan. "A very important and
sensational capture has been made by the
police of Saragossa. Ever since the Liceo
Tbeater outrage the authorities have been
searching in vain for Salvador Franch,
known to be the most desperate and force
full of the anarchist leaders; but ne seemed

tions regarding him, and always managed
to escape the clutches of the law In the
nick of time.
1t was only after the arrest OF a number
of sympathizers among the secret police
themselves that they made any headway.
Franch was finally located, and after the
most elaborate preparations and the grad
ual drawing of lines about the house, the
police made a descent on his quarters.
When they burst in the door with
drawn revolvers Franch drew revolver
and shot himself in the breast, inficting
a severe wound, and then attempted to
swallow poison. When taken before a
magistrate he fought desperately, and
avOwed completely in the Lyceo outrage,
expressing fiendish regret that no more
people were killed and that he was not
able to carry out further and more bloody
outrages. He will be taken to Barcelona
for trial.

tion of the Queen and the formation of the
Provisional Government. with the view to
annexing the islands TO the United States.
He was also required TO tell the story of
the revolution and to detail the part taken
by the United States marines In support
Of the Provisional Government. Jones
proved q strong advocate of annexation to
the United States and stanch supporter
Of the present Government as opposed to

that the resources of the islands are such
as TO render it to the advantage of the
United States to annex them. He also re-
garded the islands Of strategic importance.
The afternoon was devoted to hearing
the testimony of L. S. Spaulding, a large
sugar-p)anier and resident Of the islands

Islands that have not hitherto been touched
upon by witnesses. He is favorable to

NOW CORBETT'S JAW.
He Is Wildly Anxious to Fight
Mitchell on Any Terms.

NEW YORK, Jan. "A special to the
Press from Jacksonville says: Corbett in
unbosoming himself TO some friends to-
day, said: 'Some of my friends told me
that | was foolish TO make a match with
Mitchell, and now l know they were
right. II it is in my power l will make
that fellow fight before he gets out
of Florida. If he manages 10 sneak out
of this match he will pose as
being the man who was going to fight
Corbett. l know i can whip him. And he
knows it. Why, If the Duval Athletic
Club cannot pull this thing off 1 will fight
him for glory. l am chamrion of the
world and will still only be the same il
beat him. but will risk 1t all, and without
a dollar stake if necessary to bring this
fellow to time. More than that. | will
agree to name man and let Mitchell name
two men to privately pick fighting
ground and a time for the fight. These
men ueed not advise us of the time or
place for the contest until they think
necessary.
81 will fight before as few or as many
men as may happen to be on the grounds.
Ali want is to get at Mitchell and prove
to the put just what he is. / am told he
refused to sign an agreement to fight in
private because he was already a fugitive
from justice in at least one State. Poppy
cocki He does not want to fight, and
won't if he can get through this with
enough false credit to again hoodwink the
public. His game is to go on the road
and make money out of bluffs and my
reputation"
While Corbett was talking he clenched
his fists and pounded his knees to empha-
size what he said. Being asked how soon
he would be ready to fight if Mitchell
signed, he said: "In five days if Mitchell
is willing, or any other time he wants, but
/ will leave ii TO the men he ana | select.
An this. of course, is in the event of the
Duval Athletic Clue being unable TO do it's
part in the engagement we entered into.
| say all this without prejudice to the
contract Mitchell and signed with them. )"

differences in the Government continue to
be circulated in the provinces. According
to one of these rumors a severe official dec

energy against the agrarians, in which
event Caprivi will reassume the presi-

,v the Associated prssx.

By the Associated Press.
WAsHINGroN, Aug. 30.-Sscretary Car
lisls has issued a circular to all collect
ors of customs. calling attention to para
graph Cos Of the new tariff act which
admits salt free of duty. but provides
that the coverings in which it is i'm
ported shall pay tine same rate of duty
as If imported separately. and further,
thst if salt is imported from any country
which i'm poses duty upon salt exported
from the United States, then there shall
be levied, paid and collected upon such
salt, the rate of duty existing prior to
the passage of the new act.
The secretary furnishes list OF the
countries that impose a duty on salt.
and therefore salt imported into the
United States from those countries will
pay the duty of 8 cents per hundred
pounds. The principal countries inn
posing duties are Canada, Austria,
Argentine, Brazil, France, Germany.
Mexico. Russia. the Australian pro-
vinces and Spain.
Secretary Carlisle, today, in answer to
kilograms from collectors of customs,
sent the following kilograms to all col
lectors:
"The department has decided to be
governed by the supreme court decision
in the case of Hartraaft VS.. Oliver, l25
U. S. reports, page 525, which entities
to the benefit of the new act all i'm
ported goods held in customs custody
August "a, 1894, whether unclaimed on
board vessels or in the process OF trans
portstion."
This ruling of the secretary reverses
that sent to the collector at Boston,
which held that goods must be actually
in bond in order to receive the benefits
of the reduced rates of the new act.
The decision OF the supreme court to
which the secretary refers in his tele-
gram, was brought to his attention after
the receipt of l2U0-word telsgram from
the collector ct Chicago, in which he
took issue with the secretary's ruling.
The court in it's decision in the case of
Hartrsnft ys. Oliver, says:
THE intent OF the legislature is to be
followed, even if not strictly within the
letter of the statutes, and it follows that
the construction placed upon the section
by the secretary OF the treasury in his
circular of May 10. 1894, to collectors of
customs is correct 60 far as it recognizes
as subject to duties under it. goods inn
ported before the act took effect, wheth-
or actually within the walls of bonded
warehouse on that day, or on the dock
or on shipboard in port, or undergoing
transportation in bond, either after ap-
proyal or under the immediate trans.
