The TAX ON Alcohol.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 15.-National Rev
enue Commissioner Miller was at the
capitol today, seeing Mr.. Wilson con-
corning what may be an unfortunate
complication in the collection of the
new revenue tax on alcohol. In the
senate an amendment was inserted in
the tariff bill making alcohol free of tax
when used In art, in medical prescrip-
tions or like compounds. Roughly es-
timated, said Miller, this amendment
would reduce the revenue about S., ,OOO,-
600 or $1O,0OO,O0 annually. The pro-
vision as to medicine would exempt all
bitters. 1t would be necessary merely
to put little bitters or dash of Ja-
maica ginger in a barrel of whisky to
let it escape all revenue taxes.
Chairman Wilson has been commits
stoned by the ways and means commit
tee to overcome the trouble. His bill
will be given a special rule to bring it to
a speedy reading, and it is expected the
change will be made without trouble, az
far as the house is concerned.

A Murderer VINO TaIked.

LEXINGTON, KY, Aug. 15-Floyd
White is being tried here for waylaying
and numbering l6-year-old Herbert
Trickler, son of prominent farmer near
here. White was examined after his ar
rest and discharged, but prominent
county official employed a colored
Pinkerton detective, who associated
with White, gained his confidence and
secured his confession of murder.
White, in making it, expressed regret
that he could not kill Thousand white
men. White seems to be possessed of
the idea that it is his duty to kill as
many white men as possible. The direct
evidence of the negro detective, coupled
with circumstantial evidence, will un-
doubtedly convict him of murder.

Carlisle Opposed tho Bills.

WASHINGTON, Aug. ia letter of
Secretary Carlisle to Senator Harris re-
views the condition of the treasury and
the estimated revenue of the govern
ment for the next fiscal year. The
figures show that under the tariff bill
just sent to the president, the revenues
would exceed the expenditures for the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1895, $l5,-
100000. The revenues from the sugar
duty Carlisle placed at $43. 900 900, and
from coal, iron ore and barbed wire,
81 100000. If the house bills were
passed there would, Carlisle says, be a
deficiency next year of $29, ,OOO. 900.

HOUSE TARIFF BILLS
Were Discussed in the Sen
ate Today.
IT WILL DIE IN THE COMMITTEE
Opposed to Bills for Free Sugar. Iron
and Coal--Defect in the Alcohol
Tax Amendment.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 15.-At 1915 the
clerk of the house brought to the senate
the tariff bill, and at IL :27 the vice
president signed the bill. The bills to
place coal, iron ore and barbed wire on
the free list were read. Then Harris
had a letter read he had just received
from Secretary Carlisle, as to the effect
of the proposed bills upon the revenues.
Berry called up the free sugar bill.
Harris, while favoring free sugar,
thought this and other bills should be
Berry said the senate had been charged
with being the friend of the sugar trust.
He wanted the bill to pass exactly as it
came from the house. Harris said an
early report should be made by the COM
mittee.
At this point Cockrell presented the
conference report on the general def
cheney bill. The only dispute was ST.
100000 for Southern war claims, to
which the house would not agree. He
moved the senate insist on this point.
Sherman moved that the senate recede
from its amendment, but his motion
was lost and Cockrell's carried. Cockrell
presented the conference report on the
sundry civil bill, and it was agreed to.
Vest resumed his speech on Harris
motion to refer the free sugar and other
bills to the finance committee. He said
it meant the death of the bill, as the
committee was politically tie with the
prospect Of the disappearance of a
quorum within a few days. He de-
clared the position of the senate on the
tariff has been indicated by the letter
of Secretary Carlisle, who proved con-
clusively that if the house bill had been
enacted it would have caused def
cheney of $3O, 900. He showed that
the power acquired by the sugar trust
was the result of it's fostering by pro.
visions of the Mckinley bill.

Cleveland wrltes to wilsOn.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 15.-The president
has written q personal letter to Chair
man Wilson on the outcome of the tariff
battle. 1t will not be made public, nor
would any reference to it whatever have
been allowed had not some of Wilson's
friends Inadvertently disclosed the fact
that the letter was written Monday
morning as soon as the president re-
ceived a bulletin saying the house had
determined to recede from the disagree
ment and accept the senate bill. The
letter speaks feellngly of Wilson's devo-
tion to tariff reform and of his unselfish
secrifice of his health and strength to
carry out the principles of his party 1t
does not discuss the tariff question ex-
cept in an indirect way, expressing deep
sympathy and regret for the personal
reverses met by Wilson.

bottom of the matter under considera-
tion. Commissioner Herman assured
him the investigation would be
thorough.
"Now," said the Commissioners, tell
us what in your opinion caused the rail-
road strikes2'
sThe strikes we're caused" answered
Howard, "by the. statement of the gem
eral managers that they would back up
Pullman during the strike. Howard
then entered into an exhaustive recital
of the troubles leading up to the original
Pullman strike. "The men had an
nounced their intention of striking" he
said, ''but on being assured by the COM
pany's officials the employees grievances
would be Investigated, we urged the
men to go back to work, which they did
on the promise of the company's COM
mittee, who had handled the trouble,
that they would not be discharged or
otherwise injured because of the part
they had taken. After that promise by
those committeeman they were dis
charged. Then the men struck. Our
union, after having failed to get any
satisfaction from the Pullman ompany,
endeavored, by boycotting the company's
cars, to bring matters to satisfactory
termination. We ordered no strike, we
simply desired that Pullman cars be left
off the trains. At this point we were
met by the General Managers Associa-
ton. They refused to haul the mail
cars until Pullmans were attached to the
trains. Such action was entirely un-
called for. The Pullmans were in no.
wise necessary for the transmission of

interview he said today: The athletic
craze has gone far enough. While the fact
that athletics tend TO improve the morals
of the college when properly conducted is
recognized by the faculties of the eastern
universities, it is also a fact that in the
fierce intercollegiate contests there is re-
Quired a degree of proficiency that can
not be attained without constant prac-
tice; consequently it is impossible TO excel
in studies and at the same time be a mem

COMMITTEE MEETS AGAIN.
Differences Settled with the Driving
CIub-Other Matters.

The executive committee Of the state
board Of agriculture continued in session
a part of Thursday The questions at
issue between the state board and the
Indianapolis driving club were finally
disposed of to the satisfaction of both
parties 1t is the intention Of the board
to make the fair grounds a public resort
and to rent them out for picnics and
other gatherings. The cooperation of
the driving club to this end was consid-
cred worth a division of the receipts
from this source. and an agreement to
that effect was reached.
The committee at its last meeting re-
ferred the matter Of reduced railroad
rates for exhibitors to a special commit
tee which reported yesterday that, while
TO definite agreement had been reached
with the railroad companies, the latter
had assured them that a better rate
than ever before given would be made
this year. Messrs. SanSey, officer and
Kennedy were appointed as a committee
on tickets and admissions.
During the day the committee made
a trip to the fair grounds. A site for the
proposed merchants building was Sc
lected and will be offered to the special
committee from the board of trade which
has the matter in hand for the mer-
chants. 1t is proposed to build a hall
240 by forty feet, giving a floor space of
nearly 10000 square feet. Stock in the
building will be taken by merchants,
who will be entitled to that part of the
space which the amount of their stock
bears to the whole amount of the stock
The committee also decided to have
a reception room fitted up in the admin
istration building for the use of the
So nd y7,-gw-
club. A number of other improvements
were ordered, such as additional water
pipes for the tracks. painting of build
ings and small repairing.
