THE BILL TO REDUCE TAXES.
Debate in the House. Much Criticism of the
Bill.
(By the Associated Press J

Washington Dee 13.-The debate upon
the War Revenue Reduction Bill con-
tinued in the House today. 1t was dull
and featureless. Those who spoke were
Messrs. Grosvenor (Ohio), Batholdt MOI.
Hill Comm, Boutell Qns.), Mcclellan
IN W, Newlands (Nev), Levy IN. W.
and Underwood (Ala.) Mr.. Bartholdt
criticised the action of the Ways and
Means Committee in not making a deep
er cut in the tax on beer and gave no.
tice that he would offer an amendment
TO reduce it to S15O per barrel General
debate upon the bill will close at 3
o'clock tomorrow and Mr.. Payne, the floor
leader of the majority, expects the bill
to pass before adjournment tomorrow
The House today adopted resolution
for holiday recess from Friday, December
21st to Thursday, January Srd 1901
Mr.. Mcclellan On. W, the first speaker,
said that he regretted that the majority
had not taken advantage of the present
opportunity to reform our whole scheme
Of internal taxation. He thought there
was general agreement among gentle
men of all parties that internal taxes
should be levied for revenue purposes
only.

low the maximum revenue raising point.
With such a scheme it would be possible
by a slight increase or decrease of the
rate of one or more of these taxes TO
greatly increase or decrease and that
for emergency purposes Congress could
always fall back upon the stamp duties.

ENGLAND READY TO SIGN.
No Obstacle TO Closure of Negotiations Concern
ing Preliminary Agreement.
(By the Associated Press.)


Washington Dec. 13.-The latest adj
vice from Pekin. from official sources, is
that England has signifed willingness
TO sign the agreement reached by the
Foreign Ministers with a slight amend
ment which is said to be rather in the
nature of a mere change of form. 1t was
the understanding that England was the
only power that was holding back, and
according to these advices there seems
to be no substantial obstacle to an al
most immediate closure of the negotia-
tions concerning the preliminary agree
ment.
Mr.. Conger's last advices to the State
Department indicated very clearly that
the German Minister at Pekin, Mumm
Won Schwartzenstein, was living up to
the spirit of the promise of the German
Government to abate its demands for the
imposition of the death penalty upon
Princes Tuan and Chwang, Duke Ian and
other ringleaders. 1t is upon this very
point that the United States made the
issue with Germany and England.
REPORT or BURIED TREASURE.
Pekin, Dec. 13-A few days ago the
British troops were notified of the ex-
istence of a large amount of treasure
twenty miles northwest. Colonel Tullock
and a hundred men left today to investi-
gate the truth of the report. Colonel Tul-
lock requested, however, that 30 extra
men be detailed. 1t is believed that a
large amount of gold and valuables were
buried at that point by pers0ns connect
ed with the Chinese court during the
recent flight. The information regarding
the treasure was received from a former
court official.

4 DARING ROBBERY
Postal Clerk Nearly Murdered
by Two DeSperadoes who
Rifle the Pouches.
(By the Associated Press.)

Texarkana, Ark, Dec. ia bold rob-
berry on the Cotton Belt Railway occurred
today at Bassetts. Texas, thirty miles
south of Texarkana, on the train coming
north, in which Postal Clerk John N.
Dennis was almost killed and the mail
pouches of his car rifed of their con-
tents. The amount stolen is not known.
AS the train left Bassetts' water tank at
separated from the train, but the train
crew soon had them coupled up again.
In the run from there to Texarkana the
coaches were uncoupled twice in a very
mysterious manner On the arrival of
the train here the United States transfer
clerk knocked at the door of the mail
car, but got no response. Officials then
forced an entrance and found the clerk,
John N. Dennis, stretched upon the floor
apparently dead. A hurried examination
showed that the registered packages had
been ripped open and robbed OF their con-
tents, the most valuable of which was
the Waco Memphis through pouch, con-
tanning large number of valuable pack
ages.
A physician was sent for and it was
found that Dennis was alive but uncon-
scious An ugly wound in the top of his
head told the story. Two hours after he
was taken to the hospital he revived
sufficiently to give the details of the rob-
berry
Just as the train parted at Bassets'
Tank Dennis went into the vestbule of
the ma!l car to stir up the fire. When
he opened the vestbule door he saw two
men standing by the stove, one of whom
dealt him a terrible blow over the head
with a heavy fire shovel. The first blow
felled him and he was then quickly beaten
into a senseless condition. He knew moth
ing more until he was revived in the
Texarkana hospital. He is in critical
condition.
Examination Of the car showed that the
robbers gained entrance by crawling
through a small trap door in the floor of
the vestibule. In the vestibule is a
crank with which person can .uncouple
the cars. and it is believed it was the
intention of the robbers to disconnect and
get control of both cars.
Word reached here OF noon that two
suspects have been arrested at Naples.
near the scene of the robbery. but none
of the stolen packages were found. Den
