Getting Tariff Bill Ready.

Yesterdays advices, from Wash
ington, announce that preparations
for carrying into effect the new tar
if bill are going forward at the
Treasury Department with all pos
sible speed. Secretary Carlisle has
already prepared blank form of IL
cense for custom house brokers pro-
vided for in the bill, and it is now in
the hands of the printer.
Several clerks are also hard at
work preparing an index for the
new bill. This will occupy about
twenty pages in the new tariff vol
ume, which, for the convenience of
custom officials, will contain both
the new law and the Mckinley act
Of 1890.
1t is expected that by the time
the new bill becomes law all pre-
liminary work. save that of issuing
instructions to the custom and in
ternal officials, will have been done.

INCIPIENT INDIAN WAR.

PARIS, TEX, August 23. Trouble
has again broke out in the Choctaw
Nation and that country is threat
ened with a civil war. This time
the trouble is between the adher-
ents of Dick Lock in the unpleas-
antness of last year, who have di-
vided into factions, Recently a
number of outrages have been com
mitted in Cedar county, which lies
east of the Kiamita river in the
mountains. Houses were broken
into and other acts of lawlessness
committed. Jackson Billy, Deputy
Sheriff of Cedar county, organized
a posse to arrest the offenders.
Night before last they went to
George Baldwin's house, where Ed
Baldwin was found asleep. He was
taken out in the yard where each
of the men in the posse fired his
Winchester into the prisoner re-
peatedly. More than fifty bullets
penetrated him from head to foot,
mutilating him beyond recognition.
This deed was committed in the
presence of Baldwins father and
mother and sister. George Daven.

THE MONEY PROVIDED.
for Collection of the
Income Tax Have Been
Passed.

A special dispatch from Washing,
ton, yesterday, says: Representa-
tive Sayers, Chairman of theiHouse
Committee on appropriations,
brands as false and sensational the
story published today that the star
ting discovery had been made that
the Appropriation Committee had
negligently or by design, failed to
allow the sum necessary for the
collection of the income tax.
Every allowance for the collec-
tion of the tax has been made in ac-
cordance with the wishes of the
Democratic party, said Mr.. Sayers.
"The Commissioner of Internal Rev
enue conferred with me last week
on the subject and | asked him to
talk with Secretary Carlisle and
then submit a resolution covering
Just what he wanted. This was
sent to me on Saturday. 1t called
for an additional SO, 900 for clerical
help in the Internal Revenue Blu
reau. | introduced the resolution
on Monday last and it was passed.
1t is just as the Treasury Depart
ment authorities want it.
It appears that some time since
Commissioner Miller wrote to Mr.
Sayres suggesting an increase in
the appropriation in case the in
come tax was adopted. But this
was before the measure passed. AS
soon as it passed Mr.. Sayres sent
for Mr. Miller and it was a result of
this meeting that the Commissioner
prepared the resolution for $4,000
and had it endorsed by Secretary
Carlisle The fact is pointed out
that the Internal Revenue Bureau
has very large general appropria-
ton available, so that the scare
about lack of funds is unwarrant-
ed.
The income tax does not go into
effect until January /, 1895, one
month after the next session of
Congress opens. 1t is believed that
the appropriation of $4,000 will be
ample for the Treasury Depart
ment's uses, but if there proves to
be small deficiency, they say it
can be provided for at the next ses-
sion.
Internal Revenue Commissioner
said that inasmuch as the tax, if
the bill should become d law, would
not 90 into effect until January |,
next, the failure to make the APP
preparation would not cause any
great inconvenience, as the bulk of
the force required for its execution
would not be needed until after the
beginning of the next year.

A LAWYERS COUP.

A good story is told of the late
Governor Throckmorton, of Texas,
who, by one of the shrewdest coups
ever witnessed in a court room,
managed to secure the acquittal of
his client, a man charged with MUIR
der in the first degree. The evil
dence against his client was too
strong to be overcome by any plea
except that of self defense but the
man killed was in his shirt sleeves
at the time, and no one had seen
him with a weapon exposed, Mr..
Throckmorton at the proper juno
ture of affairs, suddenly pulled off
his coat and waistcoat and, turning
around SO the jury could see every
side Of him, inquired whether, in
their judgment, he was armed or
not. The answer in the negative
was unanimous. With a knowing
smile Mr.. Throckmorton proceeded
to draw from under his left arm
one pistol, another from under his
right, one from each of his boots,
and, finally, a huge bowie-knife
from under his shirt at the back Of
his neck. AS he laid the weapons
in row on the table, he said ''You
see, gentlemen, although in my
shirt sleeves, it was not safe to con-
slider me unarmed.p The counsel
for the prosecution knew from that
moment that their case was gone.

Bis. Break. Two wheel Records.

SPRINoFIELD, Mass, Aug. 22.-J. p. Bliss
broke the standing and flying half-mlle bicycle
records and Citizens and Lumsden established
a tandem half-mile record on Hampder Park
this afternoon. The day was not the best
for record breaking, as pretty stif
wind was blowing, and the marks are
all the more wonderful. Bliss started for
the flying mark first, and was paced for the first
quarter by Brandt and Silvie, who carried him
TO the pole in 0:2T LIS. while Lumsden and
citizens who had started at the tape, carried
him home. Time-054 3-5. or two-ffths of n
second better than the mark made by johnson
at Independence on Oct. 80, 1898, and a full
second better than his own mark, made on July
II, 1894. Lumsden and Citizens rode the quar-
ter IN O:3O o-5, the half In "a 40 and as there
was no flying tandem mark for that distance
this stands as the record.
After short rest Bliss tried for the standing
half but bad pickup ut the first quarter COM
pelled him TO give up the first attempt, and he
against Johnson's worlds record Of 80 2-5.
