mel which assays 81, 900 to $4,000 per
ton. This tunnel site was located
in 1891, and the owners claim that
under the decision of the courts Of
Colorado they have priority right to
all the veins located upon the surface
subsequent to their location. The tun-
mel as driven through the mountain
would cover fifty veins, but the rich ore
is from an unknown vein which has not
been located upon the surface.

WASHINGTON, D. O., Jan. 12.-The
means committee considered the internal
revenue bill to-day. The meeting was
a spirited one, many unexpected mo-
tions being made, so that at one time
the friends of the income tax feared
that they were defeated. At the outset
of the meeting Mr.. Tarsney moved
that the question as to whether the in
ternal revenue features were to be re-
ported in an independent bill ahould be
referred to Democratic caucus. This
brought out an animated discussion.
When the vote was taken the Tarsney
motion prevailed by vote of 6 to 5.
Mr.. Bynum furnished the surprise OF
the meeting by moving to reconsider
the entire revenue bill as practically
agreed on at a meeting some time ago:
This motion also prevailed by vote OF
6 to 5.
Mr.. Bynum voted with the op-
ponents of an income tax. The affirm
ative vote was cast by Messrs. Wilson,
Breckenridge, Bynum, Cochran, stew
ems and Montgomery; the negative
vote by Measrs. McMiilin. Bryan, Whit
ing, Tarsney and Turner.
A question then arose as to where
this left the bill. whether the Tarsney
resolution sent the whole question to a
caucus or whether the Bynum resolu-
ton left anything to submit to caucus
After some discussion as TO the status,
vote was again taken on the internal
revenue features, and they were agreed
to as previously decided upon. The
Democrats who are opposing the in
come tax proposition, led by Wilson,
then forced a direct vote upon the
question of su bmitting nll the internal
revenue features to the house as a sepa-
rate measure. A motion to so report
the internal revenue was agreed to by
vote of to 8, Mr.. Bynum voting in the
affirmative.
The question OF a caucus was still in
doubt, owing to the variouS motions
which b ad interviewed since the Tarsney
proposition had first carried, but it was
finally agreed informally that if q caucus
to consider the income tax should be
called by any members outside OF the
ways and means committee, and the
caucus sentiment on vote should be
for the incorporation OF the internal
revenue features as part of the Wilson
bill, any member of the committee SO
disposed could make the motion on the
floor of the house to go include it.

FAVON HOME RULE.

The National Republican Executive Com
1nittce Declares Tor the Admission of All
tho Territories.
: WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.-The principal
business accomplished at to-day's ses-
sion of the executive committee of the
national Republican committee was
the adoption of two resolutions which
the members consider a fine stroke of
party policy. The first demands the
admission of Utah to statehood, and the
other favors the admission of all terri
tories to statehood. Tho resolutions
are as follows.
"RcsozUsd, That the admission of Utah
to statehood is now emanded alike by
Justice to that territory and justice to
the nation. The present territory has
the requisite number of people to con-
stitute q state-a people who arc law
abiding and progressive, and possessed
of the capacity and intelligence to in
sure wise local laws. and the prosperity
and wealth to support efficient local
government.
"Under the successful process OF Re-
publican legislation, finally adopted in
good faith by the Mormon people
themselves, informally and forever re-
nouncing it, polygamy is now as dead
as slavery and the accepted act of ad
mission which passed the house os rep
resentatives at the present session by q
unanimous vote forever prohibits. This
is now received rs true by all elements
of the people of Utah. The political
party that was organized to fight
polygamy has been disbanded and its
members have pronounced with tho
other people, there in the general.
and the need of statehood. Any longer
denial of the right of home rule to this
territory is seriously detrimental to her
industrial interests and unmerited as
peration upon her people, and an mex
cusable burden upon the national treas
ury: ;y;,r ~,
government as applied to geographical
subdivisions of this country has always
been and of right should continue to be
merely temporary form OF govern
ment to be tolerated only pending the
acquisition by the territory of sufficient
population and material resources to
support state government; and,
WHEREAS, It is obvious that the ter
ritories of Utah, Arizona, New Mexico
and Oklahoma are each possessed of
sufficient population and material re-
:. sources to support state government,
and the people of said territories now
petition for admission to the dignity
and privileges OF statehood; therefore,

"Resolced, That it is the sense of this
committee that just regard for the
rights of our fellow citizens, residing
within said territories, demands that
American principle of home rule be ex-
tended to them by the admission OF
4 said territories to statehood"
These measures were proposed by tho
western members and unanimously
adopted, meeting the sanction of the
full committee.
The choice of city for headquarters
was left to be decided by the executive
committee at another meeting to be
called next month.

tant Nominations.
WASHINGTON, ID. G.. Jan. l2.-The
senate wasin executive session for three
hours to-day. a great part of the ses-
sion was devoted to two nominations
which have been hanging fire over since
the extra session, those of r. e. Preston,
to be director of the mint, and Isaac ].
Wooten, of Delaware, TO be agent at the
Nevada Indian agency in Nevada. The
case of Wooten was the first taken up
and to that the greater part of the time
of the senate was devoted.
It is understood that Senator Gray
made a brief reply to the personal
charges made against Mr.. Wooten by
Senator Higgins. defending Wooten as q
com petent man for the position. He
also replied briefly to the general
charges as to the Improperly of select-
ing man from one state to hold Office
in another, saying there were many
precedents for such a course.
The vote resulted in Wooten's favor.
Two speeches were made against the
confirmation of Mr.. Preston, one Of
these by Senator Stewart and the other
by Senator Allen.
There was no reply to those charges.
An aye and nay vote was demanded
and resulted largely in Mr.. Preston's
favor, there being only eight votes
against him.
