sIsLEY AND WARMER.


for SILVER
Denver. April 15.-Hon. j. G. Sibley
and Hon A. j. Warner, two of the four
distinguished silver leaders whom Colo
RADIO has been preparing the past week
to welcome, arrived in the city ut $
o'clock this mcrlslng by way of the Bur
lington route. and are now guests of the
city at the Brown Palace hotel Sena-
tors Stewart and Jones have not yet ar
rived. In addition to these gentlement.
the party contained Mrs. Warner and
Hon. Charles Miller, ex-mayor of the
city of Franklin, Pennsylvania, and
the business partner of Mr. Sibley.
Mr.. Sibley being interviewed said:
sit is not question of politics which
confronts us. II is one of patriotism
Now is the time for American citizens
to forget partiSanship and remember
only that they are patriots. For the alb
solute prosperity of the country we
must have silver placed on a legitimate
parity with gold. II is the money OF
the people. while gold IS the money of
spectators and the few who are in
financial power. Put silver into circu-
lation with the same influence which
gold has. and nothing but widespread
pestilence could again disrupt the pros
periiy OF the United States. II Is the
poor mans money and he has the right
to IL.
at will be the issue of the next cam
paign; nothing can head II of. The
question Is boiling, and boiling hard.
and the gOldite5 are worried. In New
York ana elsewhere they are taking
measures to divert the coming cyclone,
but think there will be an overwhelm-
ing uprising that will shake both Of the
dominant parties
where is Senator JONES'" was in
quired of Mr.. Sibley.
"AIr Jones has been lost by the way
side and will have TO present his own
apology TO the people of Colorado; we
do not know why he did not come"
Later on Mr.. Sibley said that the last
heard from Senator Jones was that he
was in New York The arrangement
made he said, was to meet at the
auditorium in Chicago and start for
Denver together.
General Warner and myself We're
there on time" said Mr.. Sibiey. but
we did not see the senator and have
heard nothing from him up to this
time"
The visitors are expecting 10 hear
something from Senator Jones during
the day, and think he might have been
delayed in some manner and may pos
sibly arrive in the city ON later train
tonight or tomorrow morning.
Senator Stewart is not expected at all,
for just before starting for Colorado
word was received from him stating
that negotiations Of an important ma
ture detained him from meeting at the
Auditorium.

WANT A RE-HEARING
ON THE INCOME TAX LAW.
Likelihood of Speedy Reconsideration
Before the supreme Court Justice
Jsck-on's Health - President CleVe-
Iand'r View

Washington. April 15.-Informal no
tice has been given to the United States
supreme court by counsel in opposi-
tion to the income tax of purpose TO
ask the court for rebearing OF the IN
come tax question.
The petition asking a rehearing oil
the income tax case probably Will be
made at once by Lawyer Guthrie. In
view of the Importance of the case the
impression prevails that the court VIII
grant the motion and state that the ar
guments will be made for a speedy
hearing and final determination oil the
issue Justice Jackson's health mas
improved considerably Of late, ana IL Is
known in this city that Judge Jackson
recently expressed his determination
tn come to Washington and resume ms
official duties at once in case the IN
come tax suits were set down Tor I'M
mediate hearing. and in view OF TINS
fact it is believed that the cases VIII
be reOpened and an early decision
given upon those portions of the law
upon which eight justices are now
equally divided.
This sudden forcing Of the income
tax suit 10 another early trial Is NOT
agreeable TO all the parties TO the last
suit. and n very strong Iutimation was
given here to-day that some of counsel
preferred waiting until next autumn,
rs an impression prevails that Justice
Jackson is favorable 10 the income TAX
law.
Later information concerning jus
tice jackson would indicate that he dld
did not expect 10 return TO Washington
until October (which would delay re-
hearing until them. and that II was
coupled with the statement that II his
health did not then permit hrnI to re
sumo his duties he would send his res
ignation 10 the president.
There Is no doubt as to the presl-
dents views upon the exp.idiency ana
constitutionality Of the income tax.
His suggestion to Congress tlat a low
rate income tax should be enacted was
only made after the most careful eX-
animation Of all the questions involved
and as a result Of this examination he
was and is still convinced that an in
come tax law is constitutional 1t Is
understood that his views differ radi-
cally from those OF the court In the
rent exemption question as contained
in their opinion Of last Monday. Mr..
Cleveland. it is said. holds 10 the Opin-
ion that the taxation Of incomes re
ceived from rents Is not direct tax
within the meaning Of the constitution
and that in case of the retirement of
Justice jackson during his term of Of
flee he Will see TO it that his SUCCESSOR
views coincide with his own on this i'm
portant point.

THE PRESIDENTS INCOME.
He Makes Return to the Revenue De-
partm~ut.

Washington. April 1j.-Tbe Evening
Star says to-day: Notwithstanding the
dlsagreeable weather, President Cleyc-
land came TO town to-day and spent
the day ut the White House. The main
object Of his visit was to make a re
turn OF his personal income, in accord
ance with the law on the subject. Mr..
Miller. commissioner Of internal rev
enue. called on the president by agree
ment and assisted his filling out the
personal income blank When com
pleted II was delivered to Commission
er Miller. Mr.. Miller refuses to say
anything on the subject and Will not
even admit that the president has made
"A return. He says that the law c&plic-
lilly forbids those in charge Of its exc
cutiou from giving out any information
regarding incomes and he proposes 10
see that the prohibition is strictly oh
served Although not admitted, it Is
understood that the president included
his full salary of $50. 900 as chief eXecu-
tive In his return, and leaving II for
the accounting officers of the treasury
to determine In the future whether the
payment Of the 2 per cent. upon it is
in violation Of the constitutional pro-
visions, which say the salary Of the
president shall not be Increased or di-
unfinished during his term of office. The
tax on an income Of $4,000 Is $500.

THE OPENING OF CHINA.
Probable That That Country WIN Soon
he Accessible TO Foreigners


New York. April 15.-The japanese
minister at Washington confirms the
REPORTS from Toxic that his government
has made the opening of China TO Tor
eign commerce aud immigration one OF
the conditions of peace. which Will
make the country the most attractive
spot on earth for investment and specu-
lation during the next fifteen or twenty
years The interior of China, and, as
a matter OF fact, the entire empire, ex-
cept the treaty ports, is 1000 years De
hind the age, judged by comparison
with France or Great Britain or the
United States, but with its marvellous
soil and 400, 600 OF a naturally IN
genious and industrious population 1t is
capable of almost and degree OF de
yelopment
The conditions of peace include the
free admission of machinery to all pars
Of China and the establishment oil rae
tories by foreigners under the protec-
ton of the government This mas
hitherto been prohibited outside the
treaty ports. and there is practically no
machinery In China.
The ''linkin tax" which is local tax
levied upon all goods passing through
towns, is also to be abolished.
Another condition is the granting OF
free concessions, charters and privileges
to Japanese and other foreigners for the
construction of railways after the man
ner of civilized nations. There is only
one short railway in China and that be-
longs to the government. Several CON
SESSIONS have been granted for others,
but under such terms as could not De
complied with. If the demand of Jap
an is agreed to, and the japanese min
ister thinks ii has been, any foreigner
can 20 to China and construct rail-
way under the same conditions as in
Canada and in the United States. In
this connection Japan also insists that
the navigable rivers Of China shall be
opened to commerce. which alone will
give foreigners an eagerly desired OPP
portunity OF reaching the interior.

Let us see what richness of stellar distri-

spheres Is Al. 225 square degrees. This gives

The area of the whole star sphere Is conse-

gives, therefore. 800 stars to each space OF

This seems large number, but stars scat

at considerable distance apart when view
