He FAvoRs THE INCOME TAX.
The President Said to Have Changed His
Views ON the Subject

WASHINGTON, March 30-President
Cleveland is said to have become con-
vert to the income tax. If the fifty
fourth congress should attempt the re-
peal OF this law. as is expected, Mr..
Cleveland will probably be found stand
ing in the way Of the accomplishment
of that act. When the proposition was
first made in the last congress the pres
ident was not favorable to it, and it
was with great difficulty that he was
converted to corporation tax, which
he recommended in his message, think
ing that the propositions would not be
pressed beyond that point. He was not
at all pleased when general income
tax was adopted. and 1t is believed that
he looked forward to the time when
the law might be repealed. Very re-
Gently, however, 1t is said, he has he
come convinced that the tag IS in en-
tire accord with, .his tariff policy, and
that through It the opportunity may be
afforded .ultimately for. a still further
reduction of customs duties than that
made by the Wilson German bill. The
returns to the. internal revenue bureau
give promise Of considerably larger
revenue from this source than he had
expected, and TO that extent relieves
him Of the fear that shortage in the
treasury might compel him to accept at
the hands Of q republican congress
some increase of tariff rates He sees
in il also means of revenue in the
event Of the foreign tariff war being
pressed to an extreme.
This attitude of the administration
may have some bearing upon the deci-
sion Of the supreme court as to the con-
stitutionality Of the income tax.

BODY HORRIBLY MANGLED.
Was Evidently Stranger and the Re-
mains Await Identification.

The "tin bridge" was the scene OF an
other fatal accident this morning, and as
usual In these cases, the man was q
stranger, and no one who received the 70.
mains could say positively that they had
ever seen the unfortunate victim before.
II was q few moments before s O'Clock

and instantly killed, the body being
dragged along several yards and horribly
mangled. The train was stopped and the

stretcher and brought to the Central Falls
depot, although the accident happened In
fawtucket.
At the station they were left in charge
OF Station Agent Swift who notified Chief
Of Police Goldsmith. He In turn poIified
Medical Examiner Kellfher Of this city

the remains. After q superficial examina-
tion he ordered 1t turned over to Under
takers Crane q Buros. At the rooms q
closer examination was made and IL was
found that bis skull was crushed and his
right foot out OF above the ankle while
there were Numerous other cuts and
bruises.

alis uudsr pair OF black trousers, Q dark
coat and vest and black stif hat. He
was about % years OF age, of medium
height, had light hair and heavy light
moustache. All that was In his pockets
was a weaver's steel comb and latheI
brush which gives the impression that he
was weaver and looking for work.
After the body had been prepared &c
that IL might be seen many called to try
and identify 1t. A clerk at the works OF
the American Machine 20. thought II was

communicative and went away as soon al
possible.
