Benwood.
There is rumor current that the
Wheeling Street Railway Company is
urging the building OF this bridge, and
that they would use it and change their
line to Bellaire. This report could
not be verified At present the out
look is that the bridge win be built,
and that the company has plenty of
capital back of them. 1t is said many
of the Bellaire merchants are against
it owing to their belief that it would
take trade to Wheeling.

COMMITTEES REP0RT REDUCES
 WAR REVENUE TAX $4O,OOO,OOO

Washington. December 7.-Chairman Payne of the ways and means committee today submitted the report of that com mittee signed by all the Republican mem- bers in favor of the bill reducing the war revenue taxes about $4OOOO,OOO The report says in part:
 While the war for which these additional taxes were levied is ended, the train of ex- traordinary expenditures has not termin- ated with the close of actual hostilities.
 According to the report of the secretary of the treasury, the receipts for the hscal year ended June 90, 1900, were $669s59o 43l, while the expenditures were 59O,O6S31, showing a surplus of $9,52I ,O6O He a.s1 es- inmates the receipts for the fiscal year end- ing June 30, 1901, at $6S7, ,77S,253, and thA ex- penditures al $607 773, 25S, which would leave an estimated surplus of SS0oO0,Ooo. ge< the fiscal year ending June 90 1902 the secretary of the treasury estimates the revenues at s716 633 O42 and the expenditures 3. So5u,3 ,374,- SO4. leaving an estimated surplus of s26,25S,- 237 It will be seen that for 1902 there S @E. estimated increase In the revenue of twen- ty-nine million of dollars over the previous year and an increase of expenditures of nearly $S3, 600, GOO.
 The committee is inclined to take a more conservative view of the amount of expen- ditures necessary for the year ending June 3O 1902, at the same time they are anxious to avoid any deficiency in the future They deem it safe to make reduction of about s40,0 900 while the Secretary of the Treas ury in his report, suggests a reduction of only s. OO0,O 900 in the revenue.
 In making the reductions in the bill re- ported the committee have sought to move the more annoying taxes in the war revenue act by the entire abolition of those which were most vexatious and by a duction of those which seemed to have proved great burden upon the several branches of trade to which they are ap- piled On beer a war tax of S5 cents barrel was added to the tax of s1 a barrel
