1nI,p Tariff RiIl.

The democratic members OF the Ways
and Means Committee Of the House by
vote of to 5 decided yesterday to
propose tax of two per cent. on in
comes above 81 900, and additional tax
of ter cents per gallon on whiskey
and tax of two cents per pack on
playing cards. The tax the democratic
members of the committee proposes on
incomes applies to the net earnings OF
corporations as we'll as to private in
comes. but does not apply to inheri-
tances. The members of the commit
tee estimate that S30,000,000 will be
derived from the income tax, 100000
600 from the increased tax on whiskey
aud about $5,O00,000 from the other
taxes. This sum, with the expected
increase in customs duties from in
creased importations, will be sufficient,
it is believed, to support the govern
ment with an economical administra-
ton of affairs.
The democratic caucus, at which the
tariff and other matters OF business OF
the House will be discussed, will be
held some evening this week, so says
Representative Holman, the chairman
of the democratic caucus.

Put the Sword.

Mail advices received from krosche,
in Russia, confirm the first reports of
the massacre of Catholics at that place
in November last, by which at least
twenty persons were killed and near
" a hundred wounded, notwithstand-
ing the official statement that the affair
was anything more than disturbance
in which four police were hurt. De-
tails of the massacre show the Cos
sacks to have been guilty of savage
atrocities. The Catholics refused to
vacate church when ordered to do so
by the authorities and resisted the
troops sent to dislodge them. When
the Cossacks broke into the church
they displayed the greatest barbarity
and took iendish delight in killing de-
fenceless women and children. 1t is
said that some of the younger women
were subjected to the vilest indigni-
ties by the Cossacks. After the cap
ture of the church by the soldiers the
building was desecrated in every con-
ceivabe way, some of the Cossacks
throwing the host from the altar and
trampling upon it. The religious SYM
bols and church decorations were COM
pletely destroyed. The people who
had been killed by lance-thrusts or by
blows from swords were lying about
the church in every direction, while
those who were wounded were lying
among them groaning and moaning,
the Cossacks, needless of their piteous
appeals, trampling upon them with
their heavy boots and sometimes strik-
ing at them with their spurs.
In the meantime the Catholics, who
had fled in djsmay when they saw so
many of their comrades fall, ran in the
direction of the river A separate band
ofCossacks started after them, brand
ishing their lances and swords and
shouting at the top of their voices,
''Kill the CATTLE" The panic-stricken
Catholics could not turn for if they did
they would have fallen into the hands
of the Cossacks, who, mounted on their
horses, made a short run Of it.
The correspondent says that some of
the fleeing people fell to the ground in
an agony of fright and were struck with
lauCSS ny tHC uOlSCL4CH do WY No'obSN
by in pursuit of the fugitives. Several
are alleged to have been killed in this
manner. When the river was reached
many of the fugitives plunged in and
sought to swim to the other side. a
number of them could not stem the cur
rent and were drowned, the Cossacks
standing on the bank laughing and
jeering at them in response to their
cries for help.
Those who did not jump into the river
were secured by the Cossacks and taken back
to the town, where those who had been cap
tured at the church were held as prisoners.
The authorities ordered that all OF them be
logged, and the order was carried out in the
market place Women as well rs men, were
stripped until they were practically naked,
and, surrounded by the heaitleSs CoSsacks and
orthodox Russians they were whipped with
knoutS.
The story has excited widespread indigna-
ton. and persons who are conversant with
the nature of the CosSacks place no faith i'll

casion

! Valuable Coin.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 3.-The belief
that only seven of the 1904 silver dol
lar were in existence has been an error,
for the eighth one has turned up.
Rosenthol Brothers, dealers in old iron,
had debtor in Alexandria, Va, who,
in payment of bill of $500, recently
sent the firm one Of the much sought
for 1901 dollars. He stated that he sent
the coin in payment of his bill, and
if the Rosenthols could sell it for more
than the total Of the account they
could keep the balance. The Virginian
wrote that he had bought it from an
old negro, who was ignorant of its rar-
ity and value. The Rosenthols took
the dollar to the mint here and it was
pronounced genuine. A coin collector
has offered them $3.50 for the dollar, but
they refused the offer, as at an auction
sale of coins here, one of the 1901 dol
lars sold for thousand dollars. This
probably refers to the 1901 dollar
which recently came into the possession
of Mr.. Driefus, of this city, who sent it
on to Philadelphia for sale.

THE TREASURY FUNDS Low.-The
imperative necessity of prompt action
by Congress to supply the Treasury
with funds was made strikingly mani
fest by the figures made up yesterday
at the department for the close of the
calendar year. These figures show a
loss already, since July l, of S34, 000, 900
in the excess of expenditures over re-
ceipts; they show probable loss dur
ing January and February of $1S,000,-
600 more, and a loss for the fiscal year
ending with next June of more than
S75,0O0,000.

AT CLEVELAND, Ohio, mob march
ed to the city hall and informed the
authorities that those who composed it
would steal if not supplied with food, or
employment by which food could be OBJ
tanned. Judging by late proceedings in
New Haven and Boston, it would seem
that the mob referred TO would rather
obtain their food by gift than by work.
Cleveland, too, is in the State of the
author of the Mckinley bill, which is
still operative, and. from present ap-
pearances is likely to continue to be so

THE new tariff bill will provide for
a tax of two per cent. on all incomes
over four thousand dollars year. This
is wise, and much better than was ex-
pected from the previously reported
sections of the bill. No right thinking

ing $50 toward the support of the gov
eminent under which he has had such

in the fight. The siege of Bage had

trouble with her husband since her
