M'KINLEY's ADVICE.

A Short Session OF the Legislature RECON-
mended by Ohio's Governor.
Coz. JMBUs, O., Jan. a. Governor
Mckinley in his message to the legisla-
ture says:
'Your honorable body meets at time
when the state is suffering from pro-
longed industrial depression, for which,
unhappily, there appears no immediate
prospect of relief. The people will de-
mand that their representative shall
practice economy in public expenditures,
which necessity forces upon them in
their private expenditures.
A short session and but little legisla-
ton would be appreciated at time like
this
Real estate and other tangible prop
erty, now, he says, pays the large share
OF taxes, while other varieties of prop
erty which are intangible, either wholly
escape or bear disproportionate share.
He suggests that the tax commission
which was appointed to and which did
make report recently upon the subject
OF tax revision, be continued for such
time as it may be deemed wise.
1t is bipartisan body. It's report
shows that the burden is very unequally
distributed, and inclines to the view that
corporations as class do not have their
full share.
The governor warns against tax legis-
lation framed so as to confscate capital
or drive it out of the state.

BIG BOSTON BLAZE.
The Magnificent Globe Theatre
and Contents Completely De-
stroyed by Fire.
LOSS NEARLY A MILLION DOLLARS.
The Hanlons' "Superba" Company
Lose All Their Wardrobes
and Scenery.

BOSTON, Jan. 2.-The new year began
in this city with destructive fire in the
Globe theatre on Washington street,
owned by John Stetson and at present
occupied by Hanlons' "Superba" COM
pany, which is playing an engagement
here. The playhouse is completely gut
ted and the property of the Hanlons
ruined. Adjacent property was consid-
erably damaged. The loss is nealy a
million. Every engine that could pos
sibly be spared was used in protecting
surrounding property.
During the progress of the fire several
explosions occurred, which proved to be
the powder and cartridges owned by the
Hanlon company. The efforts of the
firemen on Essex street were gigantic,
and every line of hose that could be OBJ
tanned was brought into play with par
tial success. On this street. adjoining
the theatre, are valuable blocks of build
lngs, which are occupied by large bust
ness concerns. The streets of the city
were in total darkness, and the electric
cars ceased to run owing to the current
being turned off. The heavens were il
Illuminated with the blaze, which could
be seen for miles around Sparks from
the fire Travelled with the wind two and
three blocks away and most careful
watch was kept by Gordon of police
men.

1t Will BE Held In Allegiance Until the
Tariff Has Been Disposed OF.
WASHINGTON, Jan. At is generally
agreed among Democratic senators that
the financial question will be allowed to
remain untouched in congress until the
tariff bill shall be disposed of.
Senator Voorhees, replied to ques-
ton concerning his silver bill that no
effort whatever would be made to press
it until the tariff bill should be out of
the way. Then he said the bill would
receive attention, and he thought it
would prove the solution of the problem.
He said he felt confident that after
senators and members had an opportun-
ity to examine it they would see its
merits and put it through both houses
before adjourning. Representative
Bland has also said recently that he did
not expect to try to get up his free coin
age bill in the house until after this dis
posal of the tariff.
There is more or less talk of Secretary
Carlisles suggestion favorable to the is
suance of bonds to provide for the gov
eminent deficit, but that with other
financial questions will go probably over
until after the tariff question shall be
settled

Editor Stead Labors Three Hours in tho
Street With . Shovel.
CHICAGO, Jan. 2.-How does it feel to
do three hours turn on the streets for
supper, bed and breakfast? This aues-
ton w. T. Stead was curious to have
answered, and he set about getting the
answer in the best practical way-by
enlisting in the army of the destitute
unemployed. and working three hours
turn with the shovel for Superintendent
Welles. It was realistic way Of get
ting at the bottom of a problem, but it
seems to find favor with Mr.. Stead.
This latest expedition he has made in
search of the truth is fully in line with
his former experiences. When, in 1885,
he started out in his famous cru
SADIE in illegal traffic in girls, he
made up his mind to see things
at first hand, and he did. At
the risk of being dubbed eccentric and
sensational, he traced to their hiding
places the male and female procurers of
innocent girlhood. He boldly charged
In his famous tribute to modern Baby
lon that girls were bought and sold for
immoral purposes, and to prove it he
was himself party to the purchase of a
young girl, for which breach of law he
did three months in Holloway Jail.
Since coming to Chicago it is clear
that Mr.. Stead has not quite got over his
early eccentricities. But they are the &C.
centricities of the reformer The latest ad-
venture of the London editor is another
illustration of his earnestness and persist
ence in getting to the bottom of the So
cial problem.

NO DECISION YET.
Members of the Ways and Means
Committee Still Discussing an
an Income Tax.
ADMINISTRATION INFLUENCE FELT.
Belief Expressed That the Reve-
nue. Measure Will Include Cor
pOrations Only.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.-The Demo
cratic members Of the ways and means
committee met at the treasury depart.
ment at 8 p. m. to finally decide upon
the income tax question and the internal
revenue features of the tariff bill. There
were present Chairman Wilson, Messrs
McMillin, Breckenridge, Montgomery,
Bryan, Tarsney, Cochran, Stevens,
Whiting and Turner. Mr.. Bynum OF
Indiana was the only member absent.
de excused himself on the ground that
he was indisposed. His absence pre-.
vented vote on the income tax ques.
ton, and after a session Of three hours
the committee adjourned. The discus
sion was general, covering the entire
question as to how the deficit in the
revenues was to be met. The
Issue Between the Members
is whether the income tax shall be upon
individual incomes or simply upon in
comes from corporations. When the
committee adjourned 10 days ago the
general understanding was that they
would be divided, with Judge Turner of
Georgia holding the balance of power.
The weight of the administrations influ-
ence was thrown strongly against the in
dlvidual tax proposition, and this is now
made apparent by the manner in which
is attacked by those who are particu-
larly supposed to represent the admin
istration's views. Mr.. Cochran of New
York was persistent and aggressive.
He made no less than five speeches,
in all Of which he contended that
the necessary revenue could be
raised from single tax on the
Incomes From Corporations.
He produced figures to show that a 1
per cent tax on incomes from corpora
lions would produce revenue of $4O,-
100000. Those who favor the individ-
val income maintain that not over
$13, 0OO, OCO could be raised in this way.
incidentally the details of the other in
ternal revenue features, the proposed
increase on whisky and beer, were dis
cussed, but they were all pivoted on the
decision of the main proposition, it
being conceded that if the tax were
to be levied against invidual
incomes an increase from other
sources would be unnecessary. AL
though sugar has been placed on the
free list by a majority vote of the Dem
ocratic members of the committee, the
question of restoring it to the dutiable
list as a revenue article cut some figure
in the evenings discussion. Nothing,
however, was decided, and when the
committee adjourned Chairman Wilson
SAID that the situation was absolutely
unchanged.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Jan. 2.-The ap-
plication fo- writ of habeas corpus for

ment is to give the governor more time
to file instructions, if he has any. The

OIL the fight. Lawyers say that it will
be impossible for the governor to

have decided that no law is to be vio-
lated unless he assumed the arbitrary
powers of dictator. 1t is their opinion
that he would hardly do that. Law
yers add that a requisition for Mitchell

burg affair will not issue; that it cannot

Bloody Fight With Robbers.

men, three miles west of the city.
Wickline was walking from Sedalia
home when two men sprang in front of
him, and, covering him with revolvers,
commanded him to throw up his hands.
He did so, but one contained gun and
he commenced shooting. The highway
men returned the fire. Wickline re-
ceived ball through the left arm, but
kept on shooting until a ball through his
thigh knocked him down. The robbers
then went through his pockets and Sc
cured a considerable sum of money.
