ENGLAND ASSURES NOTHING
Department Ohicial Denies that Great
Britain Has Promised Acceptance
of New Canal Proposition.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.--A prominent
oficial Of the State department said today:
There Is no foundation whatever for the
story that this government has received
assurance from that of Great Britain that
the canal convention will, II ratified by the
senate by the pending amendment. be ac-
cepted by the British government. No
such promise, suggestion or intimation has
ever reached the State department from
any official source and the department does
not know what action the BritiIh govern
ment would take in tho event the pend
ing treaty is amended as proposed. Every
intimation. however. that has reached here
goes to show that the adoption of any
amendment would be regretted by the
British authorities.
Through misunderstanding or some
other reason the impression was conveyed
to the public, as q result OF the proceed
ings in secret session in the senate yes
terday in connection with the treaty that
Secretary Hay had stated that he would re-
sign his Office II the pending Davis amend
ment to the Hay-Pauncefote treaty were
adopted. The secretary's exact attitude in
this matter was purely negative. He
simply stated that he had never threatened
the senate, or any other authority. to re-
sign his office II certain actions we're not
taken respecting the treaty. He did not
promise to remain II It were amended; he
did not threaten to quit"

in an additional reduction OF S23 600 600.

Mr.. Swancon Of Virginia. a member OF
the committee on ways and means, followed,
presenting the views of the minority. Mr..
Swanson said the democratic party fully
recognized the urgent necessity for a re-
duction In the revenues Of the govern
ment during four years taxation had in
creased over $500, 900, 900. and he declared
that IL this heavy burden was continued
business and commerce would seriously
suffer. He expressed regret that the re-
publicans had failed to avail themselves Of
the present excellent opportunity to de
wise more Just, equitable and permanent
system of taxation. He argued that there
should be a reformation OF the tariff and
an abolition of the customs duties which
have created trusts and monopolies. He
also insisted that this government should
collect more revenue from capital, incomes
and profits. rather than from the consump-
tion and the business and occupation Of the
people; that taxes should be levied upon
what a man has and not upon what he
needs"
He said there should be a reduction made
now In the revenues Of at least $40 900, 900,
instead OF $40. .000. 900. with the organiza-
tion OF a home government In Cuba, with
the pacification OF the Philippine islands
and with a settlement OF the Chinese COM
plications, all OF which the administration
assured in less than two years, there ought
to be an immense reduction in government
expenses.
Mr.. Swanson asserted that the only per-
sons who we're benefited by large surplus
in the treasury we're those who were seek :
ing extravagant and unjust appropriations,
tho national banks that were desirous OF
continuing the large governmental deposits
free of interest and the bondholders who
desired the government to redeem their
bonds at q high and an exorbitant pre-
MUM.
In conclusion, Mr.. Swanson stated that
the minority would move to recommit the
bill with instructions to provide for a re-
duction Of at least $70.0 900
The speaker appointed the following
| members to constitute the special COM
mittee to investigate the alleged hazing

Some members Of the minority Of the

war revenus and offer in place thereof an
income tax. OF course, he said. 1t is per-
fectly obvious to every thinking man that
this would cause an immediate deficiency
In our revenues. The enactment OF a new
income law would not furnish a dollar of
additional revenue. We have already an in
come tax law upon the statute books which
has not been repealed. The supreme court

actment OF this kind would meet with any
