A PANIC AMONG WOMEN.
William NcBec Hugs shoppers and
Causes "a Disastrous Runaway.

William McBee, 10 years old, was ar
rested by Policeman Warren at an early
hour Saturday night at the corner of
Seventh Street and Pennsylvania Avenue
and locked up at No. / station house on
a charge of disorderly conduct. Specifi-
cally the offence of which McBee is guilty
is that OF hugging women in the street.
The young man mingled with the Sat
urday night crowds in Seventh Street and
seized every woman who came within his
reach. The women cried for help and
panic nearly resulted from the disturber's
acts, which he continued despite the out
cry. -5
The excitement frightened horse at
tached 10 delivery wagon owned by II.
Friedlander and driven by Harry NJ. Lock,
who lives in Ivy Avenue in Anacostia.
The horse dashed wildly down Seventh
Street and was stopped at the corner OF
Pennsylvania Avenue. The stop was only
momentary, however, as the animal broke
away from its captor and again started at
breakneck speed
Before the wild flight of the horse could
again be arrested it collided with the
carriage OF r. K. Pope, of 52I Seventh
Street southeast, and with that of Sol.
GLASGOW, which was at the hack stand.
All three vehicles were slightly DANA ged.
AS result of the latter collision Lock
was thrown to the ground and suffered a
confusion of the back and right thigh.
He was taken to the Emergency Hospital.
where his injuries were treated and later
was sent 10 his home.
McBee was released Saturday night on
collateral furnished by his father, who
appeared at the station and stated that his
son was not mentally responsible. II was
learned last night that arrangements had
been made by Mr.. NcBee to have the
young man incarcerated in St. Elizabeths
Insane Asylum today.

Few subjects Will be discussed. the army

but this will be gone into with such

Today will be devoted to the District of
Columbia. twenty-five bills have been
reported from the District Committee and
placed ON the House calendar. OF these
as many Will be acted upon as time may

On Tuesday at noon. the army bill will
be taken up, and for three days will be-
debated from noon till o'clock and again
Friday debate will begin under the five
minute rule, and will probably last out
the week.
Strong opposition has developed to the
general character of the bill and to nearly
all its details and there is some doubt
whether the bill will pass the House at all.
The chances are that it Will ar least be
much modified before passage.
The course of the debate will certainly
bring up the entire conduct of the war
and will furnish an opportunity for maxi
ing attacks upon the War Department.
The embalmed beef scandal will furnish
an important subject for discussion.

fact that President Mckinley has decided

necessity of so large an increase of the

reported by the minority OF the committee,
provides for 0000 regulars and 80. 900 two

penditure of sos. 100000 annually. The
Miles or Hawley bill. now pending
in the Senate. provides for 5000 American
soldiers and about 5000 colonial levies.
Another bill proposes to continue the
present army of $1,000. and it is very
probable that this measure may finally
become a law.

this tax is most unfair. the large land
holders paying but a small tax. AS is
the case all over the world, the small
and needy property holder bears the brunt
of taxation.
Tax on business.
Besides the territorial tax there is a
corresponding tax on business, according
to a fixed schedule This schedule is an
exceedingly complicated document and
would require very elaborate study before
anyone could familiarize himself with its
details. The various kinds of business
are all specified and all taxed specified
amounts, certain kinds of occupations be-
ing subdivided according to the amount
of business done annually, taxes being as
sessed accordingly. In 1896 the custom
house receipts amounted 3 635 24g As pesos
sum considerably in excess of the
amount estimated in the budget. OF this
amount about 3100, 900 pesos were raised
by duties on imports alone including an
extra tax of 10 per cent. about 27O. 900
pesos being raised by export duties The
requirement Of the use of stamped paper

in my opinion a weak point in our
more gushing or more self-conscious

taken by a gentleman, on whom | had
but the slightest claim, to the coun-

no claim whatever. The latter was
not at all literary, and had not even
the usual vague English interest IN
American affairs; yet he gave up his
whole afternoon to drive me to kenll-
worth, which he had seen a Thousand
times. But that for which l liked him
best, and which afforded me wholly
new experience, was that as we en-
tered the outer doorway, he, going
first, looked back over his shoulder
and said simply: "They make you pay
threepence for admission here" and
then added, speaking to the attendant,
Here is my three pence" After all
the time and trouble he had given to
his stranger guest, he yet left him
to pay his own threepence-a thing
which most Americans would not have
dreamed of doing. 1t would have
been the American notion of good
breeding to save guest from expense
as it was the English impulse to save
him from the sense of obligation. |
