TAX ON TEA.
Some Opposition to 1t in the Ways
and Means Committee,

WASHINGTON April 21.-The Repub
lican members Of the ways and means
committee expect to complete the war
revenue measure and have 1t ready for
submission to the full committee to-
morrow, or Saturday at the latest.
One of the biggest contests in progress
in the committee is over the question
of taxing tea and coffee. The proposi-
ton to place 10-cent tax on tea and
cents upon coffee has met consid
cradle opposition, and various sugges
lions have been made as to subjects
for taxation in lieu of tea and coffee.
Among them is a proposition to>place
80 cents per barrel tax on petroleum.
but it now seems probable this will be
abandoned. There is also a PROPOSE
ton to tax mineral waters, wines. ETC..
but proposition which now meets
with more favor is to tax railroad
tickets and sleeping car tickets 10 cents
for each trip of over 700 miles. 1t is
estimated that between 1000, 900 and
$25,0OO,O00 could be raised from this
source.
Although no decision was reached at
the session this afternoon 1t appeared
probable that after the Republican
conference broke up that sufficien,
revenue can be raised without resort
ing to a tax on tea, coffee petroleum
or stamp tax on railroad tickets. 1t
is likely that a tax will be placed upon
mineral waters, ginger ale, ETC., and
upon various other articles like chew
ing gum.

KNIFE OF THE ASSASSIN
ENDS THE LIFE OF BEMIDJI'S
NIGHT MARSHAL
Struck Down by a Tenmster In His
EmplOy-Murderer Narrowly Es-
capes a Lynching-COnhic Be-
tween Farmers and Citizens at
of the Stnte.

Special to The st. Paul Globe.
BEMIDJI, April 21-A brutal MUIR
der took place here this morning at
o'clock. Jerry Root. night marshal Of
the village, was stabbed to death by
his teamster, Rob Kinney. 1t is claim
ed that Jerry, the evening before, had
given the teamSter money for eX-
penses on a trip to Park Rapids for
freight, but later in the evening dis
covered that Kinney was spending it
at the saloons and took the remainder
away from him. At 4 o'clock Mr.. Root
went off his beat and went home to
bed. He was awakened about o'clock
by the entrance of Kinney, who stab
bed him viciously with long butcher
knife. Mr.. Root called murder and the
family, living in another part of the
house, rushed In to find Kinney still
holding the bloody knife in his hands.
He made. no resistance nor effort TO
escape and was disarmed. The neigh
borS were aroused and the sheriff and
marshal sent for, as also the physi-
clans.
Kinney was at once Jailed by the
Sheriff, but Root was found to be fatal
~ wounded. He bled none at all ex-
ternally, but himself said that he was
slowly bleeding to death internally,
and after lingering until afternoon ex-
pired from the effect of. the wounds.
Since coming to Bemidji in November
last, Root has made many friends, be-
ing of a quiet and peaceable DISPOSE
ton, and he was expecting his family
from Morrison county some time this
week. A lynching bee is freely threat
ened in the streets, but it is not be-
lieved Sheriff Nygaard can be taken
by surprise or frightened into letting
go of the man.

Mr.. Gary's I'll Health the Only
Cause for the Change.

WASHINGTON. April 21-An I'M
expected development of today was
a change in the presidents cabinet
which came as an entire surprise. The
first public notification was the nomi-

Before the close of the day Mr.. Smith
had been confirmed by, the senate.
1t is stated at the White house that
Postmaster General Garys resignation
had absolutely nothing whatever to do
with our present foreign complications.
1t was owing entirely, it is stated, to
the condition Of Mr. Gary's health He
has suffered a great deal of late from
general breaking down of the sys-
TEN, which had continued to progress,
until finally Mr.. Gary reluctantly
reached the conclusion that it was I'M
able longer to carry the burden of his
office.
Mr.. Gary was asked If his resigna-
ton. coming at the time Of the Span
ish war crisis, could In any way be
attributed to that. He said:
'That was not entered into the con-
sidera ton in any way whatever I
have at all times supported President
McKinley's policy on the Spanish ques
ton. and I support 1t now. My cabinet
relations have been most agreeable.

OPPOSED TO PRIVATEERING.

WASHINGTON, April 21.-Durins
the cabinet session this afternoon teIe.
grams were read to the effect that the
Spanish fleet was still at the Cape
Verde islands.
On the question of privateering, the
cabinet, from the first, has been a.
unit in opposition to it, unless that
course should be forced upon us by
the action of Spain. The president is
strongly opposed to this so-called sys-
tenn of robbery on the high seas, and,
unless he is driven to that extremity
in retaliation, the legitimate commerce
of the world, so far as this country Is
concerned. will be as safe after actual
hostilities begin as now.

IL spain Attempts to Make Trouble

VIII BE Serious Complications
The Stand Is a Blow to the Hopes
of Spain.
By Associated Press.

DJ aSSocidteQ PreSS.
WASHINGTON, April 21-There are
strong indications that if the Spanish
government persists in it's present an
bounced policy of commissioning priva-
teers to prey on commerce, effective in
iiuences Will be brought to bear on her
by several of the great commercial
powers, particularly Great Britain and
germany, to stop this privateerng, or
tc make 1t practically ineffective and
harmless.
The action of the United States In
declaring that it would not resort to
privateering has been received with
great satisfaction in the foreign embas-
sizes and legations here. Negotiations
along this line had been pending here
for some time, and are now shifted to
Madrid, where the British charge
d'affaires is making strong representa-
items to Premier Saga sta to prevent
privateering. Whether this will be con-
coded by Spain is doubtful, as her chief
reliance for protracting a war is
through commissioning privateers to
harrass American merchant ships, or
neutral ships carrying American goods
1t has developed that this course by
Spain. while nominally directed against
the United States, would operate much
more injuriously against the Shipping
OF Great Britain, Germany and the
other commercial powers, as the bulk
or commerce to and from this country
is carried in foreign ships British
ships, it Is estimated, will carry 80 per
cent of the commerce between the
United States and Great Britain, while
German and French merchant ships
also handle considerable portions of the
trade.
This has given these powers a mater
ial interest against privateering, which
would subject to search and seizure any
Of their ships carrying American goods.
These interests are SO great that it
is regarded as certain in the best post
ed diplomatic quarters that, If Spain
does not relinquish privateering volun-
tarily. she will practice it at her peril
as against Great Britain, Germany and
possibly some other powers
