MAY BEAT 1T.
How the Income Tax Endangers the
Wilson Bill,

NEW YORK, Jan. 20.-The Mail and Ex-
press Washington special says: The in
come tax men made careful canvass and
claim that they have a bare majority of
the House by which the bill can be passed.
1t is taken for granted that the RepubIi-
cans as a body will not vote on the ques-
ton, leaving the Democrats to settle it.
Bryan of Nebraska has been working on
the Populsts, and has secured ten votes
of those members. He also claims that
missionary work among Western Republi-
cans has secured fifteen votes upon that
side for his proposition. These twenty
five, with the Democratic votes favoring
the income tax, will be enough to over
come the Democratic vote against it. They
claim now that the bill Will be incor-
porated in the tariff bill.
The anti-income tax men are naturally
very much alarmed and, as Moses T. Ste
vens, one of the leading members of the
Way and Means Committee, said to-day
This state of affairs is most alarming for
the tariff bill and If the income tax be-
comes part of the bill il will greatly en-
danger the passage of the latter. l have
always said l would vote against an income
tax"
"If the income tax Is incorporated with
the tariff bill would you vote for the bill? ?"
he was asked.
81 am not that kind of bird" he re-
piled, land my vote would have to go
against the bill. ] think there are many
who are in the same position with me and
Oh this l base my theory of the defeat of
the Wilson bill"
From this it will be seen that the Demo-
Gratis are greatly frightened. and the battle
of the coming week will be a most inter-
esting and decisive one. 1t may even end
in the total defeat of the Wilson bill.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.-At a special
meeting of the Democratic memb ers of the
Ways and Means Committee tonight
friends of the income tax carried motion
to report the measure to the full committee
and TO the House on next Monday.

Weiger Has a fearful Meeting With

:. SACRAMENTO. Jan. 20.-Charles Weiger,
'=who was at one time a prominent dry
goods merchant of Sacramento, is now
'.dong time" at the Folsom penitentiary.
AS be is recognized as quite q brilliant
business man, so far as looking after cleri-
cal details is concerned, it is quite likely
that Warden Aull will put him to work
upon a set of books in MS Office. The
prisoner was taken to Folsom on an early
train this morning by Deputy Sheriff
-: O. Neil. Weiger was naturally greatly de-
pressed in spirit and keenly felt the humil-
iation which he has brought upon himself
through an act Of indiscretion. Late last
-. evening Weiger'S wife called upon him at
tie County Jail. and spent some time with
him. The prison officials say that the
parting OF the husband and wife was very
affecting. Weiger, they say. has been a
quiet, model prisoner, but frequently gave
way TO tears when thinking of the fate
which awaited him.

DANGER FOR THE WILSON BILL.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.-In the House
to-day the consideration of the tariff bill
was resumed, the pending amendment
being that of Henderson of Iowa to substi-
tute the existing rates on agricultural
products for the agricultural schedule of
the Wilson bill.
Wilson asked unanimous consent that
on Tuesday three hours be set aside for
discussion of the coal schedule and three
hours for the irOn-ore schedule. Agreed to-.

he would on Monday offer an amendment

HendeTson's amendment to substitute
the present law for the AGRICULTURAL sched-
ule was lost-116 to 63-after some dis
cussion.
Grain of Texas offered an amendment TO
reduce the duty on wooden goods from 40
and IS per cent to 20 per cent.
The Dingiey amendment to change the
rates on lime from 10 per cent sd valorem
TO a specific duty of cents per 100 pounds
and the Grain amendment TO reduce the
duties on cotton and wooden goods from A.

Affairs.
When the House resumed its session TO-
night Talbot 3D. of South Carolina
spoke in favor of the tariff bill and was
followed by c. w. Stone (R.) OF Penn.
sylvania in opposition. Boatner Cd OF
Louisiana censured the Ways and Means
Committee for having reported a bill
which. he asserted, savored so much of the
protective policy. He thought the Way:
and Means Com mittee should have placed
duty on sugar instead of maintaining
the bounty on that article. Strong (R
of Ohio spoke in opposition to the bill
as did Wheeler (R) of Illinois. At the
usual hour the House adjourned.
