4MUSEMENTS.

Genee's opera ''of a single motif"
"Nanon," as IT has been somewhat
Ironically called by his contemporaries,
was the bill last evening at the
Fifteenth Street theater by the Carleton
Opera company. Taken as a whole the
performance was satisfactory, although the
serious Indisposition of Miss Alice Vincent
who was compelled to cut her musical num-
bers entirely, married what would otherwise
nave been 4 very acceptable performance.
But rather than change the bill Miss VIM
cent consented to go on and keep faith with
the public. Mr.. Carleton, after his rest of
yesterday, was in good voice and sang with
good effect.
Miss Bell, in the light of other Nanons
who have preceded her, Fanny Rice, Clara
Lane, Sadie Martinez, Is hardly the dashing
barmaid her predecessors have made of the
part, but she has the merit of dramatic in
stinct and a good vocal range, which count
for much in these days. Mr.. Fitzgerald,
who has just joined the company, sang
Hector with a breeziness that was very
pleasant, while MIR. Ricketts,, in the role of
the marquis, won au encore with his topical
song. The chorus was in good form and
ably assisted in the very acceptable per-

INDIVIDUAL INoOME TAX.

Its Advocates on tho House Ways and
Means Committee Garry Their Point.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 2.-The advocates of the
individual income tax proposition were
triumphan, at the meeting Of the democratic
members Of the ways and means committee
this afternoon. The eleven members were
present when the final meeting was held at
the Treasury department. at 4 o'clock. But
little time was wasted in discussion. The
ground had all been argued and fought over
time and time again, and this afternoon the
issue was Joined on two propositions. one TO
levy q tax Of 2 per cent against individual
incomes over $4,000, and against the IN
comes from corporations chat is the differ
erence between the gross income and the
operating expenses, or, In other words, the
net inCome) and the proposition offered as a
substitute by Mr. Cochran, TO tax the in
zones from corporations | per cent and in
heritaDces 3 per cent, to place a tax OF 10
cents on whisky and to restore sugar to the
dutiable list at half a cent per pound. The
vote on Mr.. Cockran's substitute proposition,
which was taken first, resulted in its defeat
by a vote of Z to 4, as follows Neas-Messrs.
Wilson, Cochran, Stevens and Montgomery.
Nays-Messrs. McMillin, Turner, Whiting.
Bryan, Bynum, Tarsney and Breckenridge,
The original proposition was then sub

lows: Heas-McMillin, Turner. Whiting,
Bryan, Bynum and Tarsney. Nays-Wi-
son, Cochran, Stevens, Montgomery and
Breckenridge.
1t was also decided, in connection with
the latter proposition, to increase the whisky
tax 10 cents per gallon that is, from 80 cents
to 81. 10 be LEVIED against whisky In as well
as out of bond.
Upon the representation that this increase
would work undue hardship to the owners
of whisky in bond it was decided TO extend
the bonded period from three to eight years.
The tax on playing cards, at one time
tixeG at G cents per package, was reduced to
2 cents, and the contemplated tax on per-
fumes and cosmetics was discarded. No in
crease was made IN the tax on cigars, but
the increase on cigarettes, 81 per 1000, was
allowed to stand.

BiiI Providing Tor 1t.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.-Represeutative Oates
of Alabama will tomorrow introduce the fol-
lowing important bill to provide for the
coinage OF silver bullion now owned by the
United States:
Section l. That all OF the silver bullion now
owned by the United States shall be coined as
speedily as practicable into standard silver
dollars of the weight and tineness as now pre-
scribed by law, which shall be a legal tender
in payment of all debts, public and private;
lion may he coined into half-dollars, quarter
dollars and dimes in the proportion directed
by the secretary of the treasury, and to con-
tain the amounts of pure silver and alloy AS
now prescribed by law for such coinage.
Sec. 2. That the secretary OF the treasury
shall set apart 40, 900, 600 of the dollars coined
as aforesaid for the redemption of notes is
sued by the treasury and paid out for the pur-
chase of silver bullion in the manner provided

Republicans VIII Not Filibuster Against
the Repeal OF the Elections Law.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.-SenaJor Hale, in
conversation today, SAID he thought the
senate would take up 1.-THE federal elections
bill soon after converting, !" and, he continued,
II think it will be passed with little delay
and become a law at an early date, as there
is no doubt the president will sign it,
Twill not the republicans" was asked,
make some effort TO delay or prevent it's
p~assage?"
They know il will be impossible to pre-
vent it, and they will not undertake 10 secure
delay, as that would accomplish nothing.
With the first OF the regular session of con-
.gress only fairly begun and the majority
united upon the policy of passing the
bill any effort on the part of the
republicans to attempt TO accomplish
its defeat by dilatory tactics would be fool
hardy. We, of course, recognize the fact
that the passage of this bill IL something of
a revolution, and that. in a way, it marks
the close of an era in the nations legisla-
tive history. With the repeal of the cleo
tions law, the last of the reconstruction leg
~islation will be wiped from the statute
books. The only course is TO protest. There
will be some speeches on the subject, enough
TO make the position of the party known
and have the country understand the situa-
tion and who is responsible, but we will at
tempt nothing more. This is one of the
legitimate results of the democratic vic
tories of 1892 and will be accepted as such
by the country"

lie Talks OF the Present Financial situation
and It's Eject In Massachusetts
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.-Representative
Draper, republican, Of Massachusetts,, dur
ing the holiday recess has been looking into
the business situation IN that state, He
says that manufacturers are somewhat
gloomy over the tariff bill. fearing their In.
dustries will be injured. The money ques-
tion is regarded rs settled for the present
aud the financial situation is not bad.
LAS TO the want OF people out of employ
ment there has not been actual suffering.
Most of the people employed in the factories
and in other pursuits who have lost their
places have q little money in saw
ngs banks and elsewhere, which
they can use. 1t is probable
hat this money will be drawn out and used.
The savings banks are perfectly solvent, the
investments of the state institutions being
at home, but in some eastern states the
money Of the savings banks has been sent
west, and 1t is possible that they will have
the most difficulty. Ghe condition Of the
treasury does not alarm our people. Every
body knows that the government cannot fail
and thatit practically has all the property
of the country to draw upon. 1t Is believed
in Massachusetts that there will be an issue
of bonds as a way out of the present Difficult
ties. In fact, with the increased imports
under the proposed tariff bill, there will be
a drain of gold which will make a bond issue
necessary"

COM MISSION.

Some Congressman and Senators Finding
Fault with tile Character OF Its Work.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.-There are some indi-
cations of dissatisfaction with the Dockery
commission, the joint commission of the
senate and the house appointed to investi-
gate tine departments. Senator Gorman has
on two or three occasions in the senate
shown some tmpatience concerning the re-
ports OF the commission and its efforts TO
shape legislation, and other senators, and
members as well, have complained mildly of
the tendency of the committee to interfere
-v;th the work of regularly constituted COM
mfttees of the two houses.
The commission is beginning on this ac-
count, and because of the stir it is making
in the departments, TO attract a share of at
tention which had not attached to IL until
recently. Those who have been giving at
tention TO the subject find that the commits
sion has been given not only a big task 10
overhaul all the departments, but that il is
authorized TO draw upon the treas
ury for unlimited expenses with
out submitting its accounts TO any
Official or without obtaining an appropria-
ton from congress, The committee now has
three experts employed, j. w. Reinhart,
president of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa
he, being the chief. His salary is not fixed
and IL is supposed that his remuneration
will be made to correspond with the services
rendered at the end of the work. The names
of the other two experts have been placed
on the treasury pay roll at the rate Of 81, 200
and $1,000 respectively per annum The
work of the commission is limited TO the
present congress, but If 1t realizes the ex-
pectations of Chairman Dockery the work
will be well concluded by that time and it
win be important enough, as will be demon
strated by the results, 10 justify all the ex-
penses that it may occasion, as well as TO
vindlcate its originators and friends. He
exDects 10 m many reforms In all
the departments aud says the experts are
doing excellent work.
