LONDON. Sept. H.-A mysterious
paragraph Is going the rounds OF the
newspapers to the effect that the en-
gagement will xhortly be announced Of
an officer OF the Guards to the widow OF
q titled Member of Parliament, recently
deceased.
The lady. II Is added. Is wealthy, dark
and beautiful. 1t is supposed that the
woman alluded to is Lady Randolph
Churchill.

from an expedition to Iceland, where
-Saey went to organize the White Rib
b9n Society.
/ iss Ackerman rode 200 miles on
ho1 1Peback in the performance of her
wofk.
It pow transpires that Geoffrey Per-
kins,S who long figured in the English
papert as an American journalist and
lawyer. and whose career was inter-
lrupted\ this week by sentence Of ten
years imprisonment for swinding, was
born in Kent, England.
A few years ago Perkins became
prominent in the smoking rooms OF the
big hotels. Since then he has attempted
some species Of swindling upon nearly
every well-known American who has
come to London.
His career as a blackmaler was re-
markable. his victims representing all
ranks Of society. from earls to street
walkers. He claimed that Gov. Perkins,
of California, was his uncle.
Among his achievements was getting
possession Of title deeds to a farm in
California from it's owner. John Thom-
son, last year. This case attracted
much attention at the time.

Capt Work was struck blind Jan. 8,
when the ship was over 200 miles from

WASHINGTON, Jan. 13-The senate gai-
anticipation Of n speech by Senator Cor

it was thought he would produce some
solution of the problem from senate
standpoint. 1t was observed also that
Senator Quay of Pennsylvania spread
before him on his desk IL roll of manu-
script which looked like one of the formida-
Bile and carefully prepared speeches for
which he is noted Senator Wilson OF
Iowa appeared on the floor for the first

Governor Foster of Louisiana was also
on the floor being introduced by Senator
Blanchard.
When the routine proceedings were out
of the way, Mr.. Cockrell called up the ur-
gent deficiency bill. The presiding Off
Ger, Mr.. Harris explained the parliament
airy situation, coming over from Friday.
Mr. Hill had offered an amendment to
the item apprOpriating funds for collect
ing the income tax, SO that the legality of
the tax would be referred to the court.
The chair had ruled out the amendment
OH point of order. Mr.. Hill appealed
from the decision Of the chair, and Mr..

table In order to permit senators to fur
thcr discuss the income tax, Mr.. Morgan

A Vote on MIR. Hills Appeal.
Mr.. Teller (Rcp.. COLI then addressed
the senate in support of a continuance of
the income tax. He pointed to the large
treasury deficits which had been temporar-
lily met by bond issues. The gold supply
was down to ST. 100000 and was rapidly
disappearing. Any proposition to do away
with the income tax, therefore, should be
accompanied by plan to raise the revenue
of the government required. Mr. Teller
gave it as his opinion that the income tax
would become permanent, even though 1t
was limited to five years by the present
law. He believed it was such an equitable
tax that the people would insist upon its
continuance.

bill" said Mr.. Teller, coming, as it does,
from such a high source but if such q
measure came from any senator or mem
ber if it came from any Populist it would

Mr.. Teller declared that the currency

other If the currency of the government
was to be turned over to corporations,
then the present national bank system
