WAR TAX.
1t Will Not Be
Abolished.
.DINGLEY SPEAKS.
He Says There Will Be No
Revision OF Tariff.

Washington, Nov. 14.-The Washing
ton Post states that the war tax will
not be abolished at the coming short
session of congress, and that there will
be no revision of the %arifH whatever.
1t bases this announcement upon the
positive statement made today by
Chairman Dingley of the ways and
means committee, who, in an interview,
said:
THE government will need for some
time all the revenue produced by the
war taxes. During the month of Oc-
tober the war expenditures exceeded
the war revenue by some $14, 00O, 900 and
this month they will be $10,0000 900 in
excess. This being the case, there will
be no change at least in this fiscal
year. The war revenue act will con-
tinue in force and unchanged, except,
perhaps, in few minor administrative
features, for at least a year longer.
1T is hardly necessary to add that
there will be no revision of the tariff,
although | have seen some statement
to the effect that such revision is
contemplated.
"The session is limited to three
months" continued Mr. Dingley, '.and
that short period will be mainly occu-
pied in passing the appropriation bills,
in enacting new laws for the regular
army and in deciding. upon the legisla-
ton necessary for the government of
Hawaii In addition to these important
matters, the usual number Of routine
matters will arise. From the present
outlook, the session will be we'll under
W9V before the of .rsf
Spain will be laid before the senate and
the ratification of that document may
not be accomplished before the fourth
of March arrives
will that necessitate an extra SEES
sion?"
1t is of course impossible" said Mr..
Dingley, ito know what will arise be-
tween the first of December and the
fourth of next March, but so far as the
present outlook can form a basis for
Judgment, ! should say that no extra
session win be necessary or desirable,
unless some new question should arise.
In the first place, we shall not know
until the treaty of peace has been rati-
fed what new possessions we are to
have, and what legislation is necessary
for Them and even then we will be in
no position to act intelligently. I think
that the military administration ought
to be continued for at least a year
longer. Military administration means
the maintenance of order, the establish
ment of sanitary regulations, the giving
of assistance to those who may need
it.
1T will bring order out of chaos and
afford us time to determine the wisest
legislation. Time always enlightens
and certainly when congress meets at
its regular session in December of next
year, we will be much better equipped
to consider the proper method of deal
ing with our new possessions.
For my part" added Mr. Dingley,
II hope that the territory 10 be added
will be no larger than is absolutely nee
essary. realize that in some cases it
may be easier to hold than it viii be to
let go, but at the same time / hope
that the treaty when it is presented to
the senate will provide for the acquisi-
ton of a minimum amount of terri
tory"

TWO Women Quarrel and an Extensive
Conflagration Follows.

ria, B. c., Nov. 14.-Returning K1ondik-
ers arriving in this city today bring
the news that the city of Dawson has
been visited with $4,000 fire,in which
40 buildings were burned, including the
new post Office building and some of
the best buildings in the city.
The fire took place on the morning Of
Oct 16 1t started in the Green Tree
saloon, as the result of row between
two women of the town. Belle Mitchell
threw a lighted lamp at another wom-
an. The lamp broke, the oil
spread and in a few seconds
the building was on fire. The fire
started. at SOP a. m. The fire of a yeaS
ago was caused by the same woman,
who threw lamp at man with whom
she had quarreled. A month ago She
almost burned her own place in Third
avenue, in Dawson, by throwing a lamp
at woman and nearly caused a con-
agration by again losing her temper
and welding another lighted lamp.
The news OF the confiagration was
brought out by several of the miners
who arrived in this city. The steamer

Agent Murray presided and intro

cheered, and the speech of Agent Muir

applause.

SKELETON FOUND.
Its Discovery Brings to Light Probable
Tragedy of Four Years Ago

Middletown, CT, Nov. 1.-THE dis
covery of a probable tragedy of four
years ago has just been brought to
light with the finding of skeleton in
the woods in the vicinity of Deep river.
The skeleton was found by a party of
rabbit hunters last Saturday. Investi-
cation since then has convinced Aedi-
cal Examiner Ely that the skeleton is
that of Guiseppi Sinelda, who kept an
italian boarding house just across from
Deep river, and who unaccountably
disappeared four years ago this month.
The skeleton was found in a shallow
grave partially under a, stone wall, and
the skull had the appearance of being
crushed in by a blow from a heavy
club.
On Nov. 4, 1894, Sinelda went into the

ROYALTY RECEIVED.
Lord and Lady Curzon of KedIeston Pay
Visit to Southport.


Southport, Eng, Nov 14.-The visit
to this place today of Lord and Lady
Curzon of Kedleston led to a remark
able demonstration of good will for mis-
lordship, who has represented this di-
vision in parliament since the last gen
eral election, 1895. All the city func-
tionaries and the county bodies par
ticipated in it, the streets were decor
ated with flags and crowded with peo-
pie, and at the railroad depot the po-
tic officials, in their robes of office, pre-
scented an address of congratulation to
his lordship on his appointment to the
viceroyship of India.
The lady mayoress presented Lady
Curzon with a bouquet Of orchids in a
silver holder, and with a ribbon at
tached to it, inscribed in gold letters:
Presented to Lady Curzon by the lady
mayoress in behalf Of the Southport
division" A procession was then
formed and Lord and Lady Curzon pro
ceeded to the municipal buildings amid
the cheers of the people and the peal
ing of bells. Lord and Lady Curzon ar
terward held reception Prominent
among the decorations were the tro-
phies representing the union jack, the
stars and stripes and the star of India
entWined.
At later function Sir William For
wood presided. He said that never had
there been q viceroy of India appointed
who was so heartily approved by the
entire nation. Sir William added that
the charm and refinement of Lady Cur
zon, who is an American lady, will
adorn the viceregal court. After the
presentation of a eulogistic address
from the conservative association OF
Southport, and handsome and mas
sive silver bowl weighing over two hun
bred ounces, and a pair of gold spurs,
Lord Curzon made speech in which he
formally bade farewell to his constitu-

woods hunting accompanied by a fell
low Italian. The companion returned
later in the day, and reported that ST.
Media had wandered off, and he could
not find him. An overturned boat that
belonged to Sinelda that was later found
floating in the Connecticut river, gave
rise to the belief that he was drowned
while duck hunting. At the time of
his disappearance, it was known that
Sinelda carried upwards Of $500 on his
person, but there was no trace of the
money about the skeleton. The fact
that Sineldas hunting companion and
Mrs. Sinelda, a pretty young italian,
disappeared soon afterwards, has given
rise to the belief, in view of the latest
developments, that Sinelda was the
victim of a plot in which murder, rob-
berry and love entered.
