ONLY THE EXCESS TAXABLE.
Representative Tarsney Explains the
Income Tax Scheme.

Washington, Jan. 2O.-"There is a mis-
conception regarding the income tax"
said Representative Tarsney, dem, Of
Missouri, this morning. The bill ex-
empts all incomes of a, 600 and less. In
other words. man who has an annual in
come of s., 900 pays no tax. A man with
an annual income of S4,100 pays a per
cent. tax on 500, which is the excess
above a, 900. A member of congress, for
example is taxed 2 per cent. on 81 900, the
other a, 600 of his income being exempted
by the law. 1t is well that the public
should understand this, for the impress
sion seems to be general that where ones
income exceed $1,000 one is taxed on the
full amount, which is rot correct

fence.
From the Philadelphia Press
While the London Times is talking war,
war that is inevitable, war to the knife,
war that will not cease until at least two
of the great powers are utterly exhausted
Europe is confronted by the fact that
among it's two thousand odd generals
there is not one below the time of appa-
rent dotage who has commanded even a
division before the enemy. Turkey stands
alone among European nations at present
in possessing a generalisSimo who has
proved his greatness and who is still in
the prime of manhood, Osman Pasha, the
defeated victor of Plevua, whom the late
Alexander of Russia called the most sue
cessful of army leaders, in spite of his
having succumbed to adverse circum-
stances.
Osmau has probably done more to hold
Russia in check during the last five years
than the ministers of England and the
triple alliance combined A summary of
the generals of the present day with ref
erence to their ability TO lead in the field
is as follows:
Germany: No leader, except the kingof
Saxony, who is quite an old man, and
whom the accident of birth made what
he is.
Austria: The Archduke Albrecht, also
quite old.
Russia -Four leaders, having seen SER
vice in the field, but none of them great,
namely Generals Dragomiroff, Wannow-
ski, Obrutscheff and Rovecky.
F'rance-No leader, Saussier being old
and Gen. Dodds having had experience
only among the cannibals
England-No leader. Wolseley had no
experience in continental fighting, though
his book entitled System of Field Ma
neuvers Best Adapted for Enabling Our
Troops to Meet Continental Army is
calculated to make one believe that he
had. Gen. Roberts is likewise hampered.
He has only fought against semi-barbaric
natives.
Italy-No leader that amounts to any,
thing, except the old Garibaldian Gen
Cosens. ..
Turkey-The only great living general
Of the age, Osman Pasha.

A REUNION
Between Husband and Wife would have

Nurdsrsd-LetterS from the Husband.

TOPEKA, KANSAS, December 2l.-
The most plausible theory Of the mur-
der of Mrs. Matson appears to be that
she was murdered by some one familiar
with her ways and with the fact that
she kept some money in her house col
lscted each month from half dozen
tenants.
Mrs. Matson's husband, from whom
she is separated but not divorced, lives
in San Diego, California. She was sx-
pectlng him to visit her in Topeka some
time this month. A message was sent
to San Diego to-day, telling OF the muir
der and asking IL Albert Matson, the
husband. was still there ana had been
continuously.
A reply came this afternoon saying:
ALBERT Mstson is still Ia the city, but
has heard nothing Of the murder. Your
msssge mas been sent TO his house about
two miles out. He is music teacher
here"
To-day two letters were found in Mrs.
Matsou's house written bY her husband
from California in November. They
told OF some domestic trouble between
the two and expressed contrition on the
part Of the husband and a desire TO re-
turn TO Topeka, which place be left
eight years ago.

PITTsBURG, PA. December 2i.-An-
nouncement was made to the workmen
OF the Homestead steel works to-day,
that the scale for 1895 would be ready
for inspection on December 24ih. The
new scale shows slight average reduc-
tlons in wages, but TO Offset the cut the
company agrees TO reduce rents and
cost OF fuel ia the proportion. The
wages OF laborers are not to be re-
ducsd.
The scale for the Edgar Thomson
works will also be presented next week,
aud will show reductions similar 10
those at Homestead
There will likely be individual remon-
strances, but the men, as whole, will
doubtless sign the new scale without
trouble.
Chairman Frick makes statement In
which he claims that the cuts In the
scale are not really reductions. but
changes necessitated BY altered condi-
tons, improved machinery, etc. He
demonstrates that Homestead employees
made higher average during '93 than
IN '92, when working under the Anal.
gamated scale, and that in 1924. out OF
each 100 days the mill was operated 95,
while other plants were shut down q
greater portion OF the time.

BATTLESHIP AGAINST CRUISER.
Report OF American Intslligence omcerS
ON the YaIu Engagement.


WASHINGTON, December 2l.-Wnlie
the Chinese mail just arrived at tne
Navy Department failed to oring any
news OF the events which happened ..
Port Arthur during the occupation ol
that stronghold by the japanese, u
did include the first reports which
have reached the department from us
Intelligence officers at the seat OF
war touching the naval engage
ment of the mouth OF the YAM
river, October 30. Perhaps the most
sig nificant portions relate TO the oattie-
ships OF the Chinese as opposed TO tue
Japanese cruisers. In substance they
show that the heavily armored vessels
were practically uninjured oy the jap
anese fire, and as this fact tends 10 oear
out the arguments in favor OF tue oas-
tleship against the cruiser, as set OUT in
the report Of the Secretarg OF the Navy
to Congress, without doubt the reports
will be submitted 10 the House NAVAL
Committee, In connection with the
pending proposition for the construc-
tion OF three more battleships.
These reports described the lorna
tlon OF the opposing ships In line OF bat
tie. liz is said that after tne
action commenced the Chinese were un-
able TO make signals on account oil the
shooting away OF hallyards, and there
fore no tactical evolutions were per-
formed by them, each vessel maneuVer-
ing ndependently. The Japanese sig
nailed throughout the action, ana ma
neuvered in concert. The Japanese
opened fire at 5000 yards, using their
rapid fire guns TO great advantage.
The fire OF the Chinese was much slow
er and their shooting high.
The Japanese FIRE directed against
the two battleships is said TO have been
terrific, the Chsn Yuen beirg hlt ABOUT
four hundred times and catching nre
several times, while the Ting 1uen WAS
badly set on fire forward, which was ex'
tinguished with difficulty. The Chen
Yuen placed herself between the Japa-
nese vessels and the Ting Yuen, taking
the fire Of the feet while her flagship
extinguished the flames. The main
Japanese squadron continued the action
with the battleshlps, but although their
projectiles hiE time and again. the IA.
inch Armor was more than match Tor
the japanese light guns.
The Japanese loss consisted OF 10 OF
fcers and 60 men killed, and 100 OF all
ranks wounded. None Of their vessels
were lost, the Matsushima, Hiyel and
Akagi sustaining the most severe dam
age. The Chinese loss consisted OF the
following named vessels sunk or de.
stroyed: Lai Yuen. belted cruiser OF
2. 500 tons; Chih, or Chin, Yuen, pro-
tected cruiser OF $500 tons; Yang Wei,
protected cruiser Of 1900 tons, and
Chao Yuen, her sister snip. The Ping
Yuen, Chin Yuen and Ting Yuen suf-
fersd much from FIRE. The Chinese loss
In officers and men is unknown. but II
is not thought that any were picked up
from the three ships that sunk In action.
None OF the Japanese vessels used tor
pedoes In action.
