A Probability Such Recommendation

WASHINGTON, July 14.-1t is alto
gether probable that the next annual re-
port Of the internal revenue bill will
recommend a number of changes in the
war revenue act. In the main, the law
has worked satisfactorily and has pro-
duced almost exactly the amount esti-
mated by the commissioner. This,
however. was something less than the
estimates generally accepted by we'll
informed members of congress.
The internal revenue officers are Of
the opinion that the law might be eK-
tended in some directions without be-
coming burdensome to the public. One
of the propositions now under consider
alton is to assess tax on the sale or
rental of all patent-protected articles.
In speaking of the matter today, one
official mentioned the telephone com
panies in this connection.

LEXINGTON, KY, July 14.-The Re
publican state convention concluded its
work yesterday by nominating w. S.
Taylor for governor, John Marshall for
lieutenant governor, Caleb Powers for
secretary of state, Clifton j. Pratt for
attorney general and w. r. Day for
treasurer.
Before the call of districts for the
nomination for governor, Captain 8. H.
Stone took the platform and created q
most exciting scene by withdrawing
his name and presenting Taylor's.
Judge Clifton J. Pratt, the other candi-
date for governor, followed Stone in an
other Stirring speech Of withdrawal and
seconded the nomination Of Taylor,
which was made unanimous amid the
widest demonstrations. When the com.
mittee escorted General Taylor to the
hall there was another great demonstra-
tion.
The platform favored legislation
against trusts and congratulated the
party on its previous efforts in this di-
rection. McKinley's administration
and expansion policy was endorsed, as
