THE TAX QUESTION.
The House Ways and Means Committee

Plan.

The House Ways and Means Committees
Said to Have About Agreed Upon
Plan.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2S-When the
majority members of the committee on
WAYS and means come together again
It is said that decision will be reached
as to what kind of an income tax Will
he agreed upon, Probably the other
matter peudiug before the committee
and largely dependent upon the prop
osition will also be agreed upon, or at
least prepared for adjustment. The
committee will have to decide
upon the two reports submitted
by the subcommittee on internal
revenue, one by Messrs. Mcmillan and
BRYAN in favor of tax on all in
comes. including individuals, and the
other by Mr., Montgomery, in favor OF
the tax on corporate investments
Until this is decided there will be moth
iny done about the rate of taxation,
although it is proposed by the McMll-
lan-Bryan plan to make it per cent.
upon incomes of $4,000 a year and
upwards, yielding an estimated revenue
of $50, 600, 600. There is yet some disa-
greement over the rate of tax to be
levied upon inheritances, but the diff
ferences are such as can be easily ad-
justed.
The inheritance tax will be extended
only to personal property, as 1T has
been found impracticable to have real
estate included revenue of $40, OOO,-
600, it is estimated, will be derived
from this source.
The tax of S1.5O per 1000 on cigar
cites and six cents a pack on playing
cards, it is thought, will yield s., 0OO,O 900.
in all s45. 600, 900, which several men,
bers of the committee think all that is
necessary to be provided for by legisla-
ton at present.
There is some talk that during the
holidays the democrats opposed to the
bill would organize to secure its defeat,
but it does not now look as if anything
would come of it Several members
are found who declare they will not
vote for the bill unless it is amended.
but there are none who really believe
that the bill can be defeated in the
house, though they are confident that
1t will not go through the senate. 1t
does not look now as if the effort to
defeat the bill in the house would have
much strength.

The Maine Statesman VIII Vigorously
Combat the Cellar Conspiracy.
II is intimated that the minority re-
port on the Wilson bill, which has been
prepared by Mr. Reed, will lay special
stress upon the utter failure of the
measure as 4 revenue-raising bill. The
blind faulty of the majority in calmly
proposing to bring about deficit of
over seventy million dollars is certain
ly astounding. True, they have some
vague intentions with regard 20 inter
nal taxes, but how is the country to
pass upon their scheme until it is pre-
sented in its entirety? At present we
are thoroughly informed only of its
destructive features. If passed it will
infiict a blow upon our manufacturing
industries, lower our workingmen's
wages and sacrifice us to the foreigner.
MIR. Reed, it is said. will taunt the
members of the majority of the com
mittee with the inconsistency between
their platform and their present policy.
He will declare that if they had acted
in accordance with the platform and
come out boldly for free trade they
would now be entitled to some respect
on account of their courage and hon
esty. But instead they have got to-
gether a protective measure which de-
serves all the maledictions they have
called down on the protective principle
because of its inequalities Their re-
forming is mere tinkering. They COM
NIT the very fault which Mr.. Wilson
complains of in criticising tn. protec-
tive policy generally. They are sim.

A KANSAS MYSTERY.
A Family Asphyxiated in Manner That
Aroused Grave Suspicious


Aroused Grave Suspicious.
INDEPENDENCE, Kan, Jan. AT G
o'clock yesterday morning the home OF
George w. Read, manager of the Long
Bell Lumber Co. was broken into 10y
Al Brown, Mr.. Reads son-in-law, and
suspicious neighbors under the impress
sion that all was not right The dis.
covery made was horrifying and in
wolves the greatest mystery known to
southern Kansas. Mr.. Read, clad only
in his night clothes, sat in chair be-
fore hot stove fed by natural gas, his
body in an advanced stage of decom-
position. Miss Edith Scott, n domestic
of the family, lay dead on the floor OF
her room. Mrs Read and her five-year-
old son We're in bed, the boy in a dying
condition and the mother unconscious.
Mrs. Read NAV recover.
Many theories are current as to the
cause, one being asphyxiation, another
accidental poisoning and another foul
play. The fact that two gas stoves in
the house were burning at full force
practically explodes the theory of as
phyXiation. and the fact that no bruises
We're found on either person renders
the murder theory almost incredible,
leaving accidental poisoning as the
most probable cause.
None of the family were seen later
than Sunday evening. leaving no doubt
whatever that Mr.. Read and Miss Scott
had been dead thirty-six hours before
discovered. Every room in the house
was intensely hot. and there being no
ventilation, the fumes from the badly
decomposed body of Read were sti-

ply interfering with the natural course
of business under existing conditions
without substituting new system.
The bill which pretends to create a
revenue really destroys revenue and al
though it affects concern for protec-
ton it destroys protection because it is
not framed upon principle.
This is shown in the treatment of
raw materials. Ostensibly that is in
the interest of the manufacturers But
what will be it's effect upon the pro-
ducers of wool and coal? What will the
farmers and miners think of it? They
are to be made the victims of a crazy
theory about a foreign market to which
safe and sure home market is to be
sacrificed. And ultimately the manu-
facturers must suffer. too The foreign
market will not materialize and our
own consumptive capacity will not keep
pace with the increased output All
our industries are so closely related that
tariff bill which proceeds in a purely
arbitrary manner without taking that
fact into consideration must result in
chaos.
Owing largely to the stimulus of the
protective policy wealth has been more
evenly distributed in this country than
in any other. The encouragement our
mines have received has increased the
profits of our railroads, and so it has
been in other cases, and there has
been rapid and even development
everywhere. High wages have been
one of the results and the moment the
barrier is removed which prevents COM
petition with the cheap labor of Eu-
rope wages must fall. 1t is the fear of
the probable consequences of this bill
that has brought about the present
stagnation in business, and it is the
patriotic duty of the republican MEM
beers of congress to oppose it by every
means in their power. AS for the ad
valorem theory which vitiates it
throughout, Mr.. Reed may be relied on
to show that it is ineffective and puts
premium on dishOnesty.-Chicago

WASHINGTON, Dec 2S.-"The insur-

The manifesto of Adm. Cana, declar-
ing in favor of monarchy, is working
great injury to the insurgents cause.
Many of the rank and file among the
rebels are strong republicans and these
are deserving Mello at every opportun-
ity. OF course. monarchical sentiment
Is more friendly to rebellion than it was
before Gama's manifesto, but these are
comparatively few in number, and the
result of the manifesto has tended to
weaken more than to improve their
prospects There was never any hope
for Mello and. his followers unless they
received aid from Europe. There is no
indication that the re bells will receive
any substantial assistance from that
quarter. Mello is cruising up and down
the coast in his flagship, but he is ac-
counplishing nothing.
The latest dispatches report that he
has gone TO the island of Fernando de
Noronha, which IS the Botany bay of
Brazil. In other words. an island
where about one thousand convicts

UNGALLANT STEAD.

The English Editor Creates Sensation in
Chicago and Excites the Wrath of the
Women.
CHICAGO. Dec 2S.-Editor w. T..
Stead created a sensation at the joint
women's clubs of the city at Recital
hall yesterday afternoon. The meet
ing was called by the Chicago Women's
club to confer upon plans to aid the
suffering poor women and children of
the city. DIR. Sarah Hackett Steven
son presided, and the hall was filed
with representatives of all the leading
women's clubs in the city.
Mr.. Stead, who had been invited to
address the meeting, said he chiefly
welcomed the opportunity, because sit
ting side by side with those active
workers before him were some of the
most disreputable people in Chicago.
Nothing was more obnoxious to anyone
who paid any attention to the tea III
ings of the gospel than the fact That
the conventional judgment about repu-
table and disreputable was quite
foreign to the Christian ideal.
Who were the most disreputable
women in Chicago? They were
those who had been lowered by
society and provided with all the gifts
and all the opportunities, and who
lived entirely self-indulgent- These
women who had great opportunities
only to neglect them were more dis
reputable in the eyes of God and man
than the most abandoned women of
the streets. Mr.. Stead's actual language
was something stronger than that
quoted above.
After Mr. Stead's speech he retired
from the meeting, and the women
went into executive session in a dis
cussion of his remarks. excluding the
press representatives. Many of the Ia
dies present were exceedingly wrathful
over the editors remarks, and the
meeting after Mr. Stead withdrew was
very stormy. Nothing was done, how
ever, and no resolution concerning Mr..
Stead's remarks was adopved.

Three favorites out Of five won their
races at Agricultural Park yesterday, but
those who took the shorter ends in the
betting had no cause for grumbiing.
There were more people in attendance
than on any previons day, and the sport
was first class. AS usual. the betting
was very spirited, and it was difficult for
person TO get within forty feet of the
pooi-sellers' box. Tie intervals between
the races were made pleasant by the
music of Cassasa's Band.
