THE SINEWS OF WAR.
Various Tax Measures Proposed, In
Guiding an Income Tax.

Various Tax Measures Proposed, In.
Guiding an Income Tax.
Washington, April 22.-The Republi-
can members of the ways and means
committee expect to complete the war
revenue measure and have 1t ready for
submission to the full committee this
afternoon, or tomorrow at the latest.
One of the biggest contests in progress
in the committee Is over the question
of taxing tea and coffee. The propo-
stion to place 10 cents tax on tea and
cents upon coffee has met consider
able opposition, and various sugges-
tions have been made as subjects for
taxation in lieu Of tea and coffee.
Among them Is proposition to place
so cents per barrel tax on petroleum,
but it now seems probabale this will be
abandoned. There is also a proposition
to tax mineral waters. ginger ale, etc.,
and upon various other articles, like
chewing gum. Another proposition is
to tax railroad tickets and sleeping car
tickets 10 cents for each trip Of over
100 miles 1t is estimated that be-
tween S2O,000000 and 25,00O,O00 could be
raised from this source. .
MIR. Sayers, or TeXas, has prepared an
income tax bill. The bill is on the lines
Of the income tax provisions in the
tariff law of 1894, subsequently nullified
by the supreme court as unconstitu-
tional. Mr. Sayers said he intended IL
to provide revenue to meet the
exigencies of war. and while not over
confident Of favorable action, wanted
1t considered by the ways and means
committee. The bill provides a per
cent annual tax on incomes above
$4,000.

THE SPANISH PRIVATEERS

May Be Prohibited From Privateer-
Ing by European Governments.
Washington. April 22.--There are
strong indications that If the Spanish
government persists in the present an
nounced policy of commissioning
privateers to prey on commerce ef-
fective influences will be brought to
bear upon her by several of the great
commercial powers, particularly Great
Britain and Germany, to stop this
privateering or to make It practically
ineffective and harmless. The action
Of the United States government in de-
claring that 1t would not resort to
privateering has been received with
great satisfaction in the foreign em-
bassies and legations here. Negotia-
Stitns 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-
tions to Premier Sagasta to prevent
privateering. Whether this will be con-
coded by Spain is doubtful. as her chief
reliance for protracting awar is through
commissioning privateers to. harrass
American merchant ships or neutral
ships carrying American goods. But 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 tho
other commercial powers, as the bulk
of commerce to and from this country
is carried in foreign ships. British
ships. 1t Is estimated. carry so per cent
of the commerce between the United
States and Great Britain, while Ger
man and French merchant ships also
handle considerable portions Of this
trade.
