THE INCOME TAX.
Adopted by the senate hy Large
Majority.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., June Is
The debate on the tariff bill in the
Senate is drawing to a close. The
income tax section of the bill was
approved to-day by Il vote of % to
40. Hill filibustered to the very end
and was supported by Chandler.
The managers of the bill yielded
nothing to Hill. Such amendments
as the committee approved of were
introduced by Senator Vest and
passed. Hill demonstrated that he
has great powers of endurance.
The overwhelming majority in
favor of the income tax but demon
strates the popularity of that meas
ure. OF those who voted in favor of
the income tax 81 were De nocrats,
6 Republicans and 8 Populists. The
Republicans voting for the income
tax were Hansbrough,, Mitchell of
Oregon, Pettigrew, Power, Shoup
and Teller. The three Populists,
Kyle, Allen and Peffer, also voted
for the income tax. Stewart lodged.
Of the 80 Senators who voted
against the income tax, 20 were Re-
publicans and 3 Democrats. The
Democrats were Hill, Murphy and
Smith Dubois of Idaho, a Republi-
can, now in attendance at the con-
vention of Republican clubs at Dem
yer, would have voted in favor of the
income tax if present, and McPher-
son of New Jersey would have voted
against it had he been present.
These two Senators We're paired.
Senator Gray of Delaware, who was
opposed to the income tax, did not
vote.
AS the House is overwhelmingly
in favor of the income tax, there is
no longer a doubt that it will become
a law.
+ Senator Vest had charge of the
income tax during its discussion,
and to his skill, tact and ability
much of the strength and popularity
of the measure may be attributed.
When the tax was disposed of final
ly the whiskey schedule was taken
up and the remainder of the session
devoted TO its discussion. Only the
reciprocity feature of the bill remain
after the whiskey schedule, and it is
not impossible that these will be
disposed of by tomorrow evening,
and that by Saturday evening
final vote will be taken on the bin,
and it will be sent to the House.

ahrriif Rsrian saves The Taylors By
leaving Them al earun.

RReokFIEID, Mo-, June 2S,-
Never in the history Of Brooklield
has there been such intense excite
ment as there has been this even
ing. Fully 1000 people have gath.
cred at the depot TO receive the Tuy-
lor brothers. alleged murderers of
the Meeks family. They were ex.
pected to arrive here at 7 :45 o clock
but Sheriff Barton, who is in charge
OF them, had received information
that it would not do TO bring them
here, as they would be taken from
him. Consequently he left them at
Macon City.
This enraged the crowd all the
more, and it will not be safe to bring
them here. A posse from Milan
arrived on the afternoon train and
it Is learned that several hundred
people are on the road from the
vicinity of Browning.
AT s O'Clock a posse of horseback
riders wearing masks arrived ih this
city. They were heavily armed and
declared that they were going to have
the Taylors whenever they did ar
rive. No one knows of whom the
posse was composed.
The excitement was now growing
so intense that it was almost instant
death for anyone to sympathize
openly with the Taylors.
The posse here from North Lynn
and South Sullivan held caucus
and contemplated going ON over to
Macon City, but when the 10 O'Clock
train pulled out, the last passenger
for the night, they had not complet-
ed their plans, consequently they
did not go.
J. G. South, the captor of the
Taylor boys, got here this evening,
and he says that he thinks Barton
will take them back TO st. Louis.

SAN Francisco, Dec. 2l.-Sir Charles
Rivers Wilson, the special delegate Of
the British holders OF Central Pacific
railway securities, arrived in ths city
this afternoon. Sir Charles represents
80 per cent OF the SOS 100000 OF Central
Pacific stock held in England. Holland
and the United States, and hi, mission
here is to ascertain the precise condition
of the railroads affairs.
In an interview today he expressed
his dissatisfaction with the Reilly fund
ing bill. He thinks on the basis OF 3
per cent as proposed in the bill there
would be nothing left for the stockbold-
srs and he thinks the bondho!ders have
been having things all their own way
long enough. Sir Charles says the
foreign stock bolders are also dissAtisf f ed
with the present rule by which the
Southern Pacific operates the Central
Pacific. Under the former system the
stock holders were guaranteed annual
dividends, but under the operation OF
the present contract not q dollar goes
out for this purpose.
The reason for this, Sir Charles says,
is that although the foreigners own a
majority OF the shares the stock ia un-
registered, and they had no voice in de-
termining the present arrangement, and
in fact their wishes were noteeven con-
suited when the existing contract was
under consideration.

SUND AY CONCERTS.

Boston Polioe Commissioners Place an
Embargo ON Them.
BOSTON, Dec. 2l.-After an executive
session lasting for several hours, the
board of police, which has been investi-
eating the propriety of the Sunday
evening concerts, has decided to revoke
the licenses granted to the Paleoethsa =
ter, Howard Atheneum and the Grand
dino museum. No action was taken in
the cases OF the Boston and Hollis-street
theaters, judgment in the former case
being suspended on account OF dis
agreement.
The resaon given for revoking the
three licenses is that the managers OF
those theaters do not pay special atten-
tion to the sacredness of the Sunday
concert programmes. The licenses wore
granted by the board OF aldermen, but
under an act OF the legislature OF 1894
the board of police is given authority to
revoke the licenses granted by the
aldermen. This decision is looked upon
% victory by the leaders OF the move
ment against Sunday concerts.
