strength of the income-tax scheme, and
it is reported that 160 Democrats, 9 Popu-
lists and Republicans favor it. This is
less than majority Of the House, and If
the scheme is submitted as a separate
measure it will devolve upon the friends
of the project to maintain a quorum.
The logic would appear to be an ultimate
failure even in the House. Bryan of
Nebraska, Democratic member of the
Ways and Means Committee, who has
pushed the income tax plan so ener-
getically, has published in the Congress
stOndI Record an immense amount of
matter, obtained through Consular and
commercial agents abroad, showing the
exact character Of the income taxes OF
foreign countries, the manner of their
levying and collecting, etc. Unwittingly
he included IN the publication some re-
ports submitted by committees of the
British House of Commons, in which ap-
pear the severe condemnation of income

POUNDED THE DOG TO DEATH.
How a Monkey Made Use of a Billy
Like Policeman's Club.

1.-THE most novel fight 1 ever wit
nessed," remarked James Meehan, to
writer for the Cincinnati Enquirer, twas
between a bulldog and monkey, down
in Cuba. A friend of mine had bulldog
that had licked every canine on the island
and he was very proud of him. A gen.
tleman from South America said that he
had monkey that could whip the bull
dog and the owner of the latter laughed
at the idea. After some talk a wager of
500 was made and the only advantage
that the monkey was to have was that he
was to be allowed the privilege of using q
baton, about the length of a policemen's
club, but not SO heavy. The fight was in
a public place, and in pit that was sur
rounded by an iron grating. There was
a big crowd out to see the fight.
"Of course every body thought the dog
would chew up the monkey. After few
minutes, however, the audience was sur
prised at the sagacity displayed by the
monkey. The bulldog would make a
rush at the monkey, and the latter would
jump aside and allow the bulldog to hit
his head against the iron gratings. This
was kept up for twenty minutes or more,
and then the dog began to get tired. The
monkey began to fight. He would let
the dog make a rush and then Jump on
the dogs back and strike him several
times with the baton. This was kept up
for an hour or more, ana hnally the dog
fell on the floor completely exhausted,
and the monkey actually pounded him to
death. The monkey would strike the dog
several blows and then place his ear to
the canine to see if he still breathed.
FINALLY the owner of the dog agreed to
give up the fight, but the monkeys
owner told him that he was too late. as
the monkey would not quit until he had
killed the dog. This was one OF the pc
culiarities of the monkey. They always
kill their victims. The owner of the dog
said he did not want his dog killed, and
insisted on taking the monkey off. While
they were talking the monkey beited the
dog several times with his baton, placed
his ear on the dog, and with a sudden
jump leaped upon the shoulder of his
owner, and commenced to use monkey
language. The dog was examined aud
the victory Of the monkey and it looked
as if the monkey understood it."

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE Republi-

mittee headquarters. Republican politi-
clans of all degrees swarmed in the par
lors of the Arlington Hotel during the

the question whether TO maintain perma-
nent headquarters for the education of
voters, or merely to open headquarters

ness.

AN OLD LANDMARK WIPED OUT.
A Church at Astoria, Long Island, De-
strOYed by Fire.

NEW YORK. Jan. 10. = st. Georges
Episcopal Church at Astoria, Long Is
land, which was burned this morning,
was an old landmark and had curious
history. In the early days of the COM
munity John Jacob Astor was much in
terested il it. Three bills were presented
to the Legislature providing for the name
of the settlement The first name was
SUMS Wick, the second Hallet's Point,
and the third Astoria. Astor promised
to contribute 5000 TO build the church,
provided the name Of Astoria was
adopted. Hence the place received the
name of Astoria.
After the bill passed naming the place
Astoria, Astor, it is said, changed his
mind about presenting 5000 for the
church and, instead. gave only 500. The
other amounts were subscribed by differ
erent people and the church was built. 1t
was not large structure, and the loss is
not over $4,000.
