TINES BUREAU, RApLEY BUILDING.
WASHINGTON. April IL. 1895.

BY far the busiest branch of the Gov
ernment here to-day, was the Internal
Revenue Bureau. Commissioner Miller
decided last night on the corrections TO
be made In the blanks already sent out
TO the collectors of the income tax, ana
this morning the whole force in his bu-
reau were set to work transmitting the
information to the internal revenue col
lectors all over the United States.
Notwithstanding the legal war that has
begun on the income tax law, the col
lectors have been instructed TO go ahead
and collect the tax. Many suits are
already threatened, but the Treasury OIL
ficials estimate that about 80 per cent.
of the TAXPAYERS will avoid litigation,
aud expect TO have their hands full re-
ceiving the returns that Will be rendered
during the next few days.
The President is taking advantage OF
the temporary lull IN the business of the
various departments OF the Government,
and is spending the beautiful April days
at "Woodley."
Judge Springer was among the few Of
fetal callers at the Executive Mansion
this morning. He showed a little dis
appointment at not finding the President
in town, but left the Executive Mansion
IN good humor with himself and the rest
of mankind, after an hours chat with
genial Private Secretary Thurber.
Mr.. CARLISLE NOT CANDIDATE.
Secretary Carlisle was at his desk this
morning. There is" he said. mo truth
whatever in the report that 1 will be
candidate for a seat in the United
States Senate from Kentucky My re-
lations With Senator Joe Blackburn are
of the most cordial nature, and have
never for a moment entertained the idea
Of opposing him"
The emphatic manner in which the dis
tinguished Kentuckian made the above
statement should efectually put TO rest
any rumors that he is an aspirant for
senatorial honors from his state. and
certainly eliminates the most prominent
factor from the equation that is TO be
solved by the next Kentucky Legislature.
The Secretary's declaration, however,
does not mean a walk-over for the Ken
tucky-jeans statesman. Ex-Governor
Buckner and the present Governor OF
the state. the Hon. John Y. Brown. have
both announced themselves candidates
for the Senate and prominent Kentucki-
ans here predict a hot fight and "A fight
10 the finish.
The many friends of Collector Ham.
Sheppard were deeply grieved at the
news Of lis death.
