WASHINGTON, Jan. 27,-Members OF
congress who believe in the income tax
as an equitable method of raising reVe-i
nues are gratified at the unexpectedly
vass made by the collectors of the III
ternal revenue at the direction of Sec
retary Carlisle. They believe that tile
greater the amount realized from the
tax the more popular it Will become and
the more firmly rooted as part of the.
policy of the government. Representa-
tive McMillIn, of Tennessee, says that,
if large percentage of the revenue Of
the government is derived from this
plan, any attempts to repeal it before
the expiration of the fye-year limit
fixed in the Wilson bill will be exceed
ihgly unpopular, and that the greater
the revenue derived from it the greater
will be the probability of its re-
enactment at the end of its term.
When the proposition to tax incomes
Wdo OCiblS COlISISS IDG pIOHt~lEOLl IAS
scheme was at first estimated at from
Sl5,000.000 to SIS, ,O00,01O. Later the es-
Inmates of the committee were raised to
the vicinity of S30,000,0OO. Mr. Hail. OF
Missouri, who has given more study,
perhaps. to the theory and history of the
income tax than any other man in the
house. did not place the total below
$50, 0,000,00 From the results of the can
yass of the internal revenue bureau it
appears that Mr.. Hall was more nearly
correct than the other forecasters. He
now says that the income tax may yieId
more than $4,000, 600. and it is known
that the treasury department officials
do not place its results below that mark.
The showing made by the thirty-slx 1g
the sixty-three districts gives ground for
the estimate that about 500. 600 persons
and corporations viii contribute to tie
treasury by this plan.

Families.
SUNDAY FIRE AT WINoNA.
The Central NJ. E. Church
Completely Destroyed
by Fire.

GRANTsBURG, Wis, Jan. q. Reports
from the town of Rusk, this county,
confirm the news of terrible suffering
and starvation in that town. One-fifth
of the population of the town are with
out food. and large number of them
have not a pound of flour in the house.
All local aid is exhausted. as we'll as the
town funds. Gov. Upham has been ap-
peaIed to. Most of these people are
new settlers, with large families. Fires
destroyed their entire hay crop, and
drought destroyed vegetables ana grain.
The country is Just opening up, and
many of the settlers are recent arrivals.
The greater number of them come from
the southern part or the state and
Pierce county, and were nearly starved
out when they arrived at Rusk. The
few mOrsels they had would not have
filed dry goods box. Those who ar
rived last spring cut away the woods
and opened a small clearing, and tried
to raise few vegetables to live on,
after having put up rough log houses
aud chinked mp the sides to live
in. Had they succeeded in raising
anything. matters might have been
different. and their sufferings reduced
to certain degree as far as hunger was
concerned, but crops were au absolute
failure. and then came the terrible
forest fire. sweeping everything in its
path. Many farmers lost the little hay
they had gathered from the scattering
marshes, and in several instances
houses. barns and their all was swept
away. The towns of Shell Lake and
Cumberland assisted them some last
fall. The local charity fund and town
funds are exhausted, and now
the county relief committee is
asked to aid. Gov Uplam Iras
been requested to give Immediate
relief They have almost nothing to
eat and very little to wear. One-fifth
of the inhabitants are without proper
food. and many have not pound Of
flour in the house. The relief commit
Zee held a meeting here today, after
having given notice 10 those IN need OF
aid. Their tales of want and woe were
taken under oath, and were terrible in
the extreme. II is pitifui sight to see

THE HAWAIIAN HURRAH.
It VIII Be Continued This Week
in the Senate.


WAsHNGToN, Jan. 81. The week in
the senate will open with the renewal
of the discussion of the Hawaiian ques-
tion. which promises to become the sub
ject OF several more animated speeches
before it shall be definitely and finally
disposed of. The adoption of the Vest
amendments to the Allen resolution,
instead of diScouraging the antagonists
of the administration, has apparently
hau the effect of spurring them TO even
more strenuous and pronounced opposl
ton. They express themselves as hope
ful of reversing the verdict OF Saturday
when the next vote shall be reached.s
which shall he OH the final adoption of
the substitute. Senator Teller will in
augurate the discussion for the week
with 4 continuance of his speech begun
yesterday. The Hawaiian question will
be confined to the first two hours of the
daily sessions. and will at the eXpira-
ti0n of this time give way to other
subjects. The bankruptcy bill has
been given the position of un-
finished business and will occupy.
dLLeulIOu ilOE lh6 etedleT part Oh

augurate the debate with speech OH
Monday He expects the measure to
encounter very pronounced opposition.
and in this he will not be disappointed.
as majority of the Eastern and North
ern senators will be found 10 Ue against
the bill. When the bill is disposed of,
In whatever way, the senate will prot
ably proceed to consider the pooling
bill. Ii the threatened conflict between
this and the territorial admission
bills should occur, majority of the Re-
publican senators would support the
faction favorable to taking up me pool
ing bill. and would probably turn the
tables IN its favor. There are no apS>
preparation bills now before the senate,
but three of those remaining unacted
upon, viz, the District oil Columbia, the
diplomatic and p0Stofnce bills, will be
reported during the week, ana it is Sen
ator Gockrell's purpose to call them up
immediately, with the view Of getting
them out of the way as SOoG as possible.
This he will do TO the displacement OF
either the Hawaiian resolutions or
bankruptcy bill.
