VIII RUild,

Warren johnson is making prepare
tons to build during the coming sea-
son on the site OF his old foundry at
the corner of Fifth avenue and First
street, that was destroyed by fire late
last fall. The old brick foundry is
being torn down aud the material
saved is being sorted and piled for
future use.
Mr.. Johnson has a couple of plans
in view differing widely in nature.
One is for the erection of a number
of residence properties on the site of
the old building and the other is for
the erection of machine shops and a
foundry that will cover the entire
corner of the block. The plans in
neither case have been determined
upon but it is certain that one of the
courses will be pursued.

TOCUT The REVENUE
Senate Finance Committee Revis-
ing War Tax Measure.

Washington, Jan. 21. The senate
committee on finance was in session the
greater part Of Sunday, making an eff
fort 20 complete consideration Of the
war revenue reduction bill in order to
be able to present its report to-day. 1t
did not succeed, but the work was so
nearly completed that it is believed one
o. two more meetings will suffice for
that purpose. There are still many
tterns of the bill which have not been
hnaliy passed upon. but all Of them
have been so completely canvassed that
there via not be great difficulty in
reaching a conclusion. The committee
- sdn Withholding official announce
meRt of its proceedings from the pub
nc, but some facts concerning its con-
elusionS are known. 1t is not probable
that there will be very much greater
total reduction than was made by the
bi0 as it passed the house, but the re-
euetion viii be differently distributed.
TAe most important conclusion
reached is to reduce from u to nine
cents the tax on tobacco. There is
also to be a reduction Of the tax on
cigars and snuff. The housce left all
these items untouched. The senate
eommittee's decision as TO those ar
aaeaes will reduce the revenue re-
ceipts about $10.OOo. 600. This reduc-
HON viii be made up by declining to
accept all the house reductions Con-
seQueRtly many of the articles from
which the house took of all the tax

by the senate committee. II is prob
able that on proprietary articles, the
formula of which is pubic, the tax
VIII be entirely removed, while upon
4hose the formula of which is secret
# win be retained entirely. The tax
On steamship tickets will be reduced.
The tax on steerage tickets may be
removed entirely. The tax on stocis
3rassfers probably will be continued
on the par value of the shares, as at
present, but this matter has not been
definitely passed upon. The members
Of the committee express the opin-
foa that to place the tax upon the
selling value of stocks wouIu be an
invitation to fraud. The beer tax has
been discussed at considerable length.
but no absolute decision has been
reached. The present tendency is to
leave the rate as fixed by the house.
The tax on kilograms also remains
undecided. Some OF the members of
the committee have made an effort to
have the law amended so as to reduce
Che tax to half a cent per message.

NATIVE AFRICAN PRINTERS.
DweIIers on Lake TanganyiiSR Who
Have Turned Out Their
First Book.

The Catholic fathers have flourish
ing mission station on the west shore
of Lake Tanganyika, at place where
the forest comes nearly down to the
waters edge. This place has been
known for Is years on the maps as
Mpala, and much has been written
about it as a station where the Cath
Ollie missionaries have been trying to
introduce civilization in a most prac-
teal manner.
Here in the depths of Central Africa
they have been teaching the natives
how to make brick and lumber how To
improve the quality of the iron they dig
from their hills, how to make better i'm
plements from this useful metal and
the best methods of filling their crops.
A great many natives have come from
far around to enter the schools at
Mpala.
A year ago the natives who had been
taught to set type in the printing Of
fee made their first book. A few copies
of il have reached Europe and attracted
considerable attention. The little book
is a geography. 1t tells, in the native
language, and in the simplest man
ner, something about the world. 1t
gives the most interesting facts about
the geography and peoples of some Of
the great nations. There are only Sc
pages in it, but they contain great
deal of information without being
crowded with so much detail as to make
the story hard to read.
Father G. Van Acker wrote the lit
tie volume, superintendent the typeset-
ting and printing, and made the map
which adorns the work. The natives
under his tuition attended to every me-
chanical detail, from typesetting to
binding. The book is an excellent spec
linen of Typography, considering that
it is the first effort of the black print
ers who made it, and it furnishes con-
elusive evidence that progress is maxi
ing in the heart of Central Africa.

LEPROSY IN PHILIPPINES.
Islands, According to Fran
ciscan Fathers.

An appended report to Gen. Mac
Arthur's review of the civil affairs of
the Philippines for the last fiscal year
gives some rather startling facts re-
garding the introduction and preva-
lence of leprosy in the islands. Ac-
cording to the estimates of the Fran
ciscan fathers, says Maj. Guy L. Edie,
the writer of the report, there are no
less than 10000 lepers in the archi-
pelago, the major portion of these be-
ing in the Viscayas. Leprosy was in
troduced in 1888, when the emperor
of Japan sent ship with $50 lepers
on board to the Philippines as a pres
ent to be cared for by the Catholic
priests.
Thus the seed was planted, and as
no practical methods ever were adopt
ed to eradicate the disease or pre-
vent its spread it has taken firm root
A house-to-house inspection begun
last January found more than 100
lepers concealed in dwellings. These
were sent to San Lazaro hospital in
Manila, but many others escaped into
the surrounding country. A commits
sion is now engaged in the work of Sc
lecting a suitable island or islands for
the purpose of isolating all the lepers
in the archipelago.

Deaths Harvest

Never before in the history of the
city has there been such call made
upon the funeral equipment of the
place as was the case for the three
days past. There were eleven funer-
ais depending for service from the
city and in order to accommodate all
the closest of arrangements was nee
essary. The arrangements COM
menced with one funeral Friday af-
ternoon and were continued through
Sunday afternoon and there were
fewer carriages and conveyanees
than could fill the orders. At one
time hearse was called into service
to carry the dead to the cemetery.
while the funeral was being held
over another that had been taken to
a church.
On Friday last there were nine
deaths recorded, which is a very
large number for Mahaska county.

THE SENATE VOTES.
Passes Army Bill by a Majority
Of Twenty.

Washington, Jan. 19.--Just before
six o'clock Friday evening the senate
finally disposed of the army reorgan-
ization bill. The measure having
originated in the senate, the final
question was not upon its passage,
but upon agreeing to the senate
amendments. They We're agreed to
by vote of 43 to %. The detailed
vote was as follows:
Yeas--Aldrich. Allison. Ford. Burrows.
Carter. Clark, Deboe, Dillingham;, Dolli-
veri Elkins, Foraker, Foster, Frye CALM

The bill has occupied practically
the entire attention of the senate
since the Sd of January, when it was
Inc uhLulSHSA DuSihSoSs "hlIC
the opposition to it at all stages was
vigorous it never was bitter. Nu-
merous amendments were made to it,
but in general the committee was
sustained and the measure, with the
exception of the elimination Of the
canteen clause, is not widely differ
ent from that reported to the SEN
ate. A determined effort was made
to amend the bill so as to provide
against the sale of liquor in the Phil
ippines and to prohibit the importa-
tiono any kind of intoXicants into the
islands, but it was defeated. A nota-
bic speech was delivered during the
day by Senator Hale rep, Me-, who,
while opposing the increase in the
strength of the army, stated cogently
his reasons for supporting the bill,
Every effort to prevent the increase
in the strength of the army was de-
feated by a decisive majority. AS
the bill originated in the senate it
now will go directly to the confer
ence committees appointed by the
two branches of congress.
