Many unprogressive physicians and people still
believe ruptures incurable except 10y operations,
and thus they cling to the deadly truss and recon-
mend IL the only means of relief for the rup-
tured These unphosophical physicians and citizens
have rot investigated the new method for curing
hernia, and thus they know nothing whatever OF
its principles, and consequence their opinions
have value, and yet they assume the responsible
ity of advising their neghbOrs that ruptures are In
curable, and thus frequently prevent persons who
permit others to do their thinking for them from
seeking a means OF cure. 1t is such ignorant people
as these who clog the wheels of human progress
and make it difficult for and valuable ideas tO
prevail.

BEHRING SEA FISHERIES.

Negotiations in Progress to Regulate
the Patrolling of the Waters.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-The Secretary
Of State and the British ambassador are
pursuing negotiations for an agreement
upon regulations to police Behring Sea.
Ii is important that these regulations be
agreed upon before the opening of the
sealing season. The formalities to be
gone through between the two Govern
ments will consume much time The
Navy Department is apprehending much
embarrassment in supplying sufficient
vesse of the small class necessary TO do
the work of patrolling the territory des-
ignated by the tribunal at Paris. When
it was found necessary to police Behring
Sea the Treasury Department was called
upon for revenue cutters to aid in the
work temporarily. They cannot well be
spared for permanent use in that work.
No active steps have yet been taken to-
ward the preparation of a patrol fleet.

FRESNO, Jan. Chris Evans is still at
large 1t is almost week since he left
town, and Sheriff Scott and the faithful
portion Of his posse are still securing
Pine Fiat and the adjoining territory in
hopes Of securing some clew to the
bandits whereabouts. Y Whether the
Sheriff has been informed that Evans is
on his road to Mexico or not, he still
hunts iii Evans favorite hills, hoping
that be may meet with his man and make
his caIlure. The rumor which comes
from Bakersfield to the effect that Evans
and Morrell were seen near there yester-
day evening finds little favor with citi-
Zens here, who are well informed as to
Evans character. Few think him silly
enough to travel in that open country in
broad daylight, as reported. The situa-
ton may be summed up in few words,
and that is this: No one except Evans
closest friends know anything about
where he is. However, there seems to be
good grounds for assuming that Evans
ana Morrell are not alone, but have a
third companion, who is none other than
eX-convict kredericks, who is supposed
TO have smuggled arms into the Folsom
Prison and attempted to liberate George
Sontag. Fredericks is known to have
been in the county some time. and, as a
friend of Evans, probably figured in his
escape. Mark Walser, Assistant District
Attorney, who has been with the posse,
returned this evening at o'clock.
SEEN IN STOKES VALLEY.
VIsALIA, Jan. 3.-The report was con-
frmed to-day that Chris Evans was at
Stokes Valley, twenty miles northeast of
this city, Sunday, where he took dinner.
He was we'll armed and carried a heavy
valise, which he said had valuable con-
tents. 1t was not stated what direction
he went, but it is believed that he was
prepared to leave the country and was on
the way.
EXPECTING a VISIT FROM THE BANDIT.
PAso ROBLEs, Jan. st is rumored
that Chris Evans is making for this sec
ton. At one time Evans lived at Ade
laide, fifteen miles from here, where ne
now has friends. SuntiOWer Valley, near
here. is also a point that he will no doubt
visit if he comes this way, for he has
friends and relatives there. The Adelaide
country is mountainous and Evans

INCOME TAX BILL.
Mcmillan Explains the Features of the
Measure.

Mcmillan Explains the Features of the
Measure.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 8. = Mcmillan,
Chairman of the subcommittee in charge
OF the internal revenue feature of the tar
riff bill, outlined to-day the salient feat
ure of the income tax measure, which he
expects to complete in day or TWO.
He said: "The corporation part of the
measure will not require an inquisition
on every individual to determine what
amount of corporate stock he holds, but
| the assessment will be made against and
paid by the corporations in the first in
stance, and hence the man owning cor
pOra:e stock will not be worried by as
SCISSORS unless he is subject to individual
income tax. The corporation will pay the
tax of each of its incorpOrators, and will
in turn charge it up against them. But
TO prevent taxing man twice, II the cor
poratiOn pays for the incorporation on
dividends he would derive, he in turn is
credited with that amount in assessing
the general income for taxation. AS to
foreigners and foreign associations hold
ing intereSt-bearing securities in this
country, they will be assessed the same
as our own citizens. 1t Will not be nee
essary to go abroad in order TO ascertain
these investments, as the assessment
against the incorporation will cover all
its stockholders, foreign as well as do
mestic.
THE collection of the tax will be in the
hands OF the Internal Revenue Bureau.
1t will not necessitate the appointment of
new Tax Collectors in the various States,
and but few additional Assessors and
deputies will be required to work under
the present Revenue Collectors. 1t would
be understood that the tax will be con-
fined to about $1,000 people, according to
estimates furnished by the Treasury De-
partmenr, so that no large force will be
necessary to keep track of such COM
paratively small class. The individuals
taxed will number not more than one
third as many men as were taxed under
the old income tax law"
McMilin says the bill will provide
means for compelling disclosures as to
incomes somewhat similar to the methods
used by several States. He says the pen
alties tor falling to report or for false re-
ports have not yet been fixed.
Jerry Simpson said the Populist section
OF Congress would solidly support the
income tax plan. He regarded it as open
ing the way to free trade, saying that the
revenue tariff will be necessary as long
as revenues are not raised from incomes
or some other source. Simpson asserted
that the plan will be immensely popular
with the masses.
Representative Tarsney, one of the
members of the Ways and Means Com
mittee, who voted for the income tax to-
day, met the objection that tremendous
opposition would come from the class re-
ceiving incomes with the l2conc remark:
There are more men driving drays than
receiving incomes

HARRIsBURG Pa.), Jan. 3.-The Re-
publican State Convention to nominate
Cougressman-a Large convened here
this afternoon. Ex-senator Packer was
made Permanent Chairman. In his ad-
dress he laid the present distressed condl-
ton of the country at the door OF Cleye-
| lands administration, criticised its Ha-
waiian policy, and declared the Wilson
tariff bill un-American.
| The platform makes the tariff the GEN.
trail issue, as the one which it requests
the voters to give the fullest possible ex-
preston on as a matter Of vital national
| importance.
1t denounces the Wilson bill in the fol-
lowing terms The simple anticipation OF
this measure has closed thousands of
workshops, reduced to idleness 100000
| workers, and soup-houses now dlsplace
former hives of industry. 1t has reduced
! values to an amount greater than the
national debt, and will enlarge the free
| list only on products which employed the
greatest number of American workmen.
1t will strike with equal cruelty the
| farmer, miner. plumber-men, iron
worker, glasS-wOrker and the textile
worker, and will transfer the work from
| our own mills, mines and workshops to
those of foreign countries. 1t is sectional
| in its authorship and all too plainly aimed
| at Northern Industries.
1t strikes at Southern industries only
whore the same blow reaches the North
ern industries; fosters the plantation Sys-
| tenn and destroys farms. 1t is an attempt
on the part Of the free-traders Of the South
to reduce tine industries of the North to
! level with those in the South.
| 1t is a vicious change from specific to
ad valorem duties, the latter inviting
foreign undervaluations, and leading TO
constant accumulative frauds upon
revenues. 1t is vicious in reducing in
stead of increasing the revenues.
1t will reduce the revenues many mill
ions of dollars, and the reductions will
grow with time. 1t is vicious in comDell-
ing the Government to make up these
| deficiencies by means OF Increased in
| ternal direct taxes.
1t is doubly vicious in compelling its
supporters to resort to the most odious
! war taxes or to borrow money. 1t is
wholly erroneous in theory-the less
work there is to do In this country the
higher will be the wages of workmen.
The protection policy conveys the OPP
posing thought that the policy which
secures the largest amount of work at
home is the one which secures the best
wages to the home workmen. If the
Wilson bill does all these things on the
threat which it conveys, what will it do
in its fruition?
The platform then calls on Pennsy1-
vania's representatives to fight tor the
defeat of the bill. and closes with de-
nunciation of the ''unpatriotic foreign
policy OF the Democratic Administration

| Hon. Galusha A. Grow was nomi-
mated by acciamation for Congressman

which Grow denounced the tariff policy

day was a resolution introduced by Frye
declaring it the sense of the Senate that
the Administration should commit no
overt act OF interference in Hawaii pend
ing an investigation of the embroglio by

The evident object of the resolution is to
declare the sense of the Senate adverse to
any American interference, either direct
or indirect, should any coup d'etat be re-
sorted to for the purpose of restoring the
Queen TO the throne. The Senator asked
that the resolution lie upon the table tor

make it the subject eff some pertinent re-
marks before asking reference to the
