INCOME TAX BILL.
Large Meeting at New York TO Protest
Against its Passage.

Large Meeting at New York to Protest
Against its Passage.
New YORK, June 1.-The business
protest against the income feature of the
proposed tariff bill was notable for the
character of the audience. number and
enthusiasm of those who attended. The
call was signed by nearly 500 representa-
tives of the largest business interests of
the city. The platform was crowded
with gentlemen influential in the busi-
ness walks of life. Preparations had
been made to accommodate the crowds
expected, speakers having been selected
to address an overflow, should the hall
prove insufficient. 1t was something
disappointing that the promoter waited
for the crowds to come, and the speaking,
which was to begin at o'clock, was de.
layed half an hour. At that time the
auditorium contained about10, 900 people.
Colonel William L. Strong. President
of the Central National Bank, called the
meeting to order and nominated for
Chairman, President Evan Thomas of the
Produce Exchange, and for Secretary,
Edward O'Dwyer of the Democratic Club.
Senator Hill, in his letter of regret at
being unable to attend, said: 1.-The effort
to incorporate an income tax in the pend
ing measure has delayed speedy dispo-
sition of the tariff subject and induced
surrender OF nearly every correct and con-
sistent principle upon which tariff re-
form measure should be based. It is
clear that it would not be adopted by
Congress if the Senators would vote ac-
cording to their consciences, any more
than in pursuance of a dicker and con-
temptible compromise founded upon no
principle. 1t is immaterial whether this
scheme is popular or unpopular; whether
it taxes the many for the benefit of the
few. or the few for the benefit of the
many, it is equally indefensible, vicious
and unreasonable. AS Representative,
a citizen and a partisan, | have opposed
this income tax fully from the start.
am opposing il now, and shall continue
my opposition to the end.o
Speeches were made by President
Waldo Smith, of the Wholesale Grocers'
Association; Professor t. Lewis, in be-
half of the insurance companies; Louis
Wilder of the Reform Club, Frederick
Taylor, on behalf of the bankers and
brokers Of Wall street; Lawyer Stern
John P. Townsend. of the Bowery Saw
ings Bank, Chairman Evan Thomas and
others, all in opposition to the income
tax.
In regard to the resolution drawn up
several days ago memorializing Congress
against the income tax, the following was
adopted:
ResoLUed, That we call upon the busi-
ness associations and organizations of the
several cities of the union to organize
without delay organizations similar to our
own to voice the protest of the CONNER
cial interests affected so injuriously by
the proposed income tax law. .w

mass meeting was held here this after
noon to protest against the candidacy of
Colonel w. c. p. Breckenridge for Con-

most continuously. The following was
adopted:
"WHEREAs, The representative of this
district in Congress has covered himself
with disgrace, and the people whose
servant he is with modification and
shame by gross and frightful licentious-
ness, by lying and deceit, by the viola
ton and disregard of every tie that hu-
man beings hold sacred, and by such
shamelessness and disregard OF moral
obligations as made him the wonder and
the scorn of the whole world; and where
as, this matter in all its phases possesses
distinctive and terrible features which
place it almost alone and unparalleled in
the record of human depravity in our
country, striking at the very foundation
of social order and life, and knocking at
the purity OF our women and the sacred
ness OF our homes, rendering the author
of these crimes q public enemy: there
fore, we pledge ourselves to use every
honorable means to prevent the renom-
ination OF w. {. z. Breckenridge. We
appeal to our Democratic friends, by the
honor OF the district and in the name of
God, to rise in their might and prevent
the fearful moral degradation which
should be bound up in the election of this
mar.n
The resolutions which followed de-
manded Breckinridge's withdrawal.

particulars have reached this city from a
reputable source showing that the 200
persons reported to have been killed in
one of the preliminary battles about
Santa Ana, Salvador, were not slaughtered
by bullets, but were victims OF one OF the
most horrible railroad accidents ever
recorded. On May Sd President Ezeta
went to the assistance of the city of Santa
Ana, which was threatened by rebels.
Fifteen hundred men were placed on a
special train, which started for Santa
Ana. The insurgents, learning of the ap-
proach of the Government troops, re-
moved the rails from the track on steep
grade, several leagues from Santa Ana.
The train rushed along at high rate of
speed, and eight cars were telescoped.
One hundred men were killed and 122
were injured. President Ezeta had a
narrow escape.

SUGAR TRUST SCANDAL.
Testimony Taken Before the Investl

Testimony Taken Before the Investi-
eating Committee.
WASHINGTON, June 1.-Representative
John De Witt Warner of New York was
before the Senate Sugar Investigating
Committee for an hour to-day. He took
decided stand when the tariff bill was
before the House in favor of free sugar.
Stories have been published that attempts
were made in the interest of the sugar
trust TO have him desist from his opposi-
ton to the sugar schedule. He was ques-
toned as to the truth of these stories. He
refused to divulge the proceedings in the
committee-room. 1t is understood, how
ever, that his testimony did not bear out
the claims made. The committee ad-
journed until Monday, when Walter E.
CASTOR of Wilkesbarre, Pa, who has
been represented as having overhead a
conversation at the Arlington Hotel last
March, between certain Senators and
members of the sugar trust, will be ex-
amined.
Representative Warner announced be-
fore he was sworn his intention of reserv-
ing the privilege as a mem Der OF the
House of answering any such questions
as might be thought proper. Several
times during his examination he fell
some OF the questions asked. The COM
mittee decided that it had no power to
make a member of the House testify be-
fore Senate committee, and all it could
do was to certify the fact TO the Senate.
1t is understood that one of the points
which the committee sought to obtain
from Mr.. Warner was the influence
brought upon him to cease his opposition
TO the trust, but this failed. Mr.. Warner
tc,Id fha too thot loy Of
his information came from conversations
with members of the House who were
discussing the events relating to the
sugar duties. He was asked who these
members were, and in every instance de-
clIned to give the names of any of his fell
low members of the House.
The committee say the testimony that
Walker refused to give was of a hearsay
character anu not of such importance that
will warrant any extraordinary methods
to obtain. There is expressed great de-
sire to hear the testimony that has been
recently printed for use in the Senate DE-
fore the vote is taken on the sugar sched-
ule, and it is probable if it is available
severai 3loeks of it will be read in the
Senate tomorrow. The parts most in
teresting are those relating to the testi-
mony of Secretary Carlisle The point in
Edwards story as to how the schedule
was drawn, together with certain pro-
ceedings on a Sunday at the Capitol, have
been denied by all witnesses. Senator
Jones has testified that he requested Sec
retary Carlisle to draw the sugar sched-
ule, and that the Secretary had frankly
said he drew it. Senator Mills has testi-
| fed that Havemeyer came to him with a
letter of introduction from Secretary
Carlisle, but that he did not see Have
meyer.
The committee will not go to New York
to take testimony. nor will it resume its
sitting until next Monday.
