THE INCOME TAX BILL
Tho Democrats Broke The Sabbath in Deciding
Upon its Finishing Touches.

WASHINGTON, Jan. THE sub COM
mittee of the committee on ways an means
of the House, in charge of the income fea-
ture of the tariff BILL held a conference
Saturday night and were in session again
today. The sub committee has
about perfected the administration of
the bill and expect to make report
tomorrow marning, to the Democratic men,
bers of the full committee. A scheme has
been devised under which the great mass of
the people, who will pay no income tax,
will not be bothered by the collection fiji :
Ger. 1t will be made the duty Of the man
who knows he has a taxable inc )me to
make proper return, and those who have
only non-taxable income will not be re-
quired to make any return thereon.
Other features connected with the collec-
ton of this tax are partially agreed upon.
1t may be Necessary for the subcommittee
to have q short session tomorrow morning
The commissioner of internal revenue has
not been asked for an estimate of tae prob
able expense of collecting the income tax,
but the sub committee believes it can be
collected easily for between two and three
per cent of the total amount of tax.
A prominent member of the sub commit
tee thi, afternoon expresssd d the belief that
the votes of the men who bave decided in
favor of an income tax, will also be cast
in favor of making this feature = rider on
the tariff bill. The members of the COM
Mite who voted for an income tax we're :;
McMillin, Bryan, Turner. Whiting, Tars-
ney and Bynum There is q strong impress
sion that the two bills msy be reported ss
,ndepeudent measures. Breckinridge of
Arkansas, Wilson and Montgomery will
probably act with the mr. sjority of the Dem
ocrats, in whatever they decide upon.

ANOTHER MEXICAN REVOLT.
General 0chea and Others 0rganiz-
ing ReyoIutionist Army.
They Strip Ranches and People Of EVERYTHING
They Can Find.

Fogr HANCOCK, Tex, Jan. III. H..
Bond of Corrites ranch, chihuahua, Mex
leo, in company with Luis Acosta of Jua-
rez, and four assistants, left here Monday
for Rancho Borracho, 40 miles be-
low, to gather stock. After completing
the work they started back. Early
Friday morning, when 10 miles from the
ranch, they were surrounded by % Mexican
revolutionists under the command of Gen.
eral Ochea, and relieved of six mules, 10
horses, III reyolvers, saddles and ammuni-
ton, and carried hack to the ranch, where
all the provisions and everything useful to
them, was taken of. including all the labor
ers or peon Mexicans, who we're enlisted.
Gen. Oches instructed Mr.. Bond and
party to remain at the ranch three days and
he would serd them a team to carry the
party here, but Mr.. Bond secured a horse
snd rode in haste to wire for assistance.
Gen. Ochea Informed him that he left El
Paso on Wednesday with six organizing as
he proceeded down river. He had gained
all he had met. He was securing arms and
ammunition, but did not take money. They
completely stripped the Rancho Armargoso,
20 miles this ride of Borracho, of stock and
provisions.
After leaving Borracho he went east to-
ward Las Il Vacas, where they expected
more r. cruits and would probably capture
the Mexicsn custom house at Ojenaga yes
terlay. General Ochoa said he only had
one of several organizing parties tnat
started in various directions at the same
time and minated they would meet at
some point south with quite an army.

THE HAWAIIAN MYSTERY.
Administration Win Give Out Nothing
--Rumors Are Plenty.
No credencs Given saa francisco Stefy Of
Mr. vii is Dismisssi.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 7.-Noshing was
ont today to throw anv new light on the
Hawaiian puzzle. There are more or less
po,it.ve staten ,nts that the ststus quo in
Honolulu was broken BY the actin of Min
ister Willis, IN news to that effect was
conveyed to the state DIP utucut in the dis
patches brought ty the torwin, is met BY
equally positive statements that no adyices
10 that effec. emanatng from any reliable
sources at hand.
In support ne the probability Of the latter
theory, attention is called 10 the full text of
Minister Willis late.t dispstch, as included
in the completed volume Of corresponds nee
which only is published. This dispatch in
its entirety reads:
"Honolull. Dec. 4, 1893. Understand
message. Had no communicate, ,ns from
Washington, d. c., either to United States
admiral or me since ny (ourl
arrival. One British min.of-war and one
Japanese man-of-war are here. Active
defensive preparations have been going on
for several days; otherwise the situation is
about the same. The feeling is intense,
nut hope to preserve status until further
instructed. The government last Wednes-
day inquired as to the authenticity of your
published letter and the inteLtiOn, Of The
President l decline today to answer.
Prompt action is desirable. 1t is pointed
out here as distinct announcement OF the
intention "to preserve status nntil further
instructed, if possible.
1T is urged that the Language of the
Presidents message precludes the entertain
ing of the supposition that any further in
structions were sent to Mr.. Willis after the
meeting of Congress authorizing Lin to
break in upon the status until Congress has
declared its wishes in the matter.
The rumor now tels gtaphed from San
Francisco that possibly one reason that no
C ,mmunication is allowed with the Corvin
is that Minister Willis may be passei ger
on board in the character of q dismissed
American minister, was half jocularly
passed around here yesterday There are
numerous reasons for regarding this story
as lighly improbable, though tie ex'raordi-
nary precautions been taken to prevent
communication with the Corwin renders the
widest rumors difficult of disproof.
Aside of the extreme unlIkelihood that
the provisional government would attempt
such an extreme measure in the case of q
minister whose course thus far has GER
tainly resulted largely to their advantage,
and who in his dispatches, expresses 70
high an opir ion cf the members OF
that governm. mt. and the further
unlike lihooi that Mr.. Willis, even
if dismissed, would take no refuge
on A revenue cutter v hen two United States
men of.war we're in the ha-hor, and that he
would rems in sulking in hiding on board q
revenue cutter in San Franci.co harbor.
Mr.. Willis open telegram to Secretary
Carlisle in regard to the Louisville city
claim, received yesterday, clearly show s
that he is still in Honolulu and Expects to
femain there. The San Francisco story is
accepted here as an able effort Of the imag-
iuatjon,
