CUT DOWN
The TAXES
IS THE DEMAND MADE BY THE
REPRESENTATIVES, OF vARI-
Gus INDUSTRIES
NO HURRY, SAYS MR.. PAYNE
ways and Means Committee Is In
ciined to Frame a Bill for Cut
ting Down or Abolishing
the War Tax
cLAMoR FOR CUT IS GENERAL

WASHINGTON. Dec. 15.-ChairTnan
PAYNE, of the ways and means COM
mittee, says that no definite plans nave
been made thus far for considering the
question of further reducing the war
taxes At the same time there mas peeh
much informal discussion OF the SUBJECT
and there seems to be a general purpose
on the part of the members OF the COM
mittee to push this important question
to the front soon after the holidays In
speaking of the ma after, Mr.. Payne sald:
with surplus of about $780, 00o,0o0, l
have no doubt the ways and means com
mittee will frame bill reducing the
revenues, probably on the general lines
of the last war tax reduction Dill. Bul
there is no particular hurry IN oeains
with the subject, as there are seVerdi
contingencies which may call TOR large
increase in government expenditures, ana
it will be we'll to understand pretty well
what our expenditures are to be before
finally determining on large reductlo'l
of the revenues. When we make the re-
duction, we ought to make 1t as large
as can be made with safety. In my
Judgment the committee will take the
matter up soon Sfter the holidays.
Many Interests Want Reductions.
In the absence of action by the COM
mittee Mr. Payne will not discuss the
prospects Of reduction on particular
items. Already, however, several interests
have applied for hearings. These IN
clude the representatives of the tea IN
terests, who desire to have the lucent
tax imposed by the war revenue act
taken off that product
No formal application has been MADE
by the representatives of the beer ana
wine interests, but both are expected 10
make strong efforts for reductions on
their respective taxes.
Suggestions have also reached members
of the committee that the war tax I'M
posed on banking capital be taken on.
Another proposition is for the DONG
away with the withdrawal stamp taxes
on imported merchandise, particularly, on
tobacco, as these withdrawal stamps
are said to be very onerous to importers.
The large tobacco interests have not yet
made known what reduction they will
seek on tobacco, but the independent
producers of manufactured tobacco and
snuff are understood to desire a redue-
ton from the present rate to cents per
pound. Bills have been introduced pro-
posing a reduction as low as cents per
pound. There is no suggestion thus far
that further changes will be made on
cigars and cigarettes.
Owing to the large amount of surplus
there is some sentiment among members
in favor of wiping out the entire list OF
war revenue taxes at single stroke,
thus leaving the revenue and custom
laws upon the basis that existed prior to
the Spanish war.

SEVERAL BREAkAWAYS
VOTE ON PHILIPPINE TARIFF BILL
WILL CARRY 1T
No Chance to Defeat the Payne Sub
stitute BiIl-LOuisiana, Massa-
chusetts and Maine
Will Split.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-The house
this week will pass the bill to provide
temporary reveues for the Philippine Isl
lands, which was reported from the ways
and means committee last Friday. Under
the agreement made general debate will
extend throughout Tuesday and until
o'clock Wednesday, when a vote will be
taken. There will be no opportunity to
amend the measure.
There will be a break in the party lines
on both sides of the house. Mr.. Mccall
Mass, the Republican member of the
ways and means committee, who opposed
the Porto Rican bill during the last con-
gress, will speak against the measure,
and will be supported in his dissent by
his Republican colleagues, Mr.. Littletield
(Me.), and perhaps several other Repub-
icans who opposed the Porto Rican bill
and who hold that similar issue is pre-.
sented at this time.
On the Democratic side Mr.. Robertson
0a.), member Of the ways and means
committee, will support the bill, and
the remainder of the Louisiana delegation
will do likewise.
The general belief is that the bill will
secure as many Democratic votes as il
will lose on the Republican side. The
majority in it's favor when it is placed
upon it's final passage will be about the
Republican majority IN the house.
The disposition OF the senate is to dc
very little business beyond acting upon
the Hay-Pauncefote treaty before adj
journment for the holidays. In accord
ance with the agreement reached Friday,
the treaty will be voted on before the
senate adjourns tomorrow.
Senator Teller will make the first speech
of the day tomorrow, and he will be
followed by other senators with brief
speeches. The opponents of the treaty
admit there is no doubt of ratification.
On Tuesday the announcement Of the
changes in committees will be made
and there is a probability that after tfGs
announcement the senate will adjourn
until Thursday, when the adjournment
for the holidays will take place, extend
ing to Jan. s.

ST. JOHNS, N. F., Dec. 15.-Congratu-
lations from Newfoundland and abroad
are today pouring in on Mr. Marconi
The inventor of wireless telegraphy to-
day made further explanation of his
transoceanic signals. He said he expected
them to be stronger than they were. He
was very confident that he would receive
them. He attributed their faintness to
midocean currents and imperfections in
his apparatus. He expects better tests to-
morrow if the weather allows his balloon
to ascend. He goes tomorrow to Cape
Spear to select a site for the erection Of
q pole 200 feet high, which he is con-
fident will give the most ample results
possible under present conditions.

S1edEe DOGS.

Apart from the great use that the
sledge dogs were to us for pulling pur-
poses, they made wonderful compan-
ions in the solitude Of the far south.
Already early in the expedition had
presented to each of the members a
dog, and great affection arose be-
tween the masters and their dumb
companions. Members often retired to
some quiet corner, petting their favor
lite dogs. The lives, the struggles and
the sufferings of the dogs helped. to
take the members out of themselves
and thus assisted materially the com
mon welfare Of our small community.
In the cold time the dogs killed each
other. Suddenly the whole pack of 70
seemed to agree upon killing one Of
their number: For days they watched
for an opportunity, and the unfortu-
nate and doomed dog seemed at once to
realize that sentence of death had been
passed. He sought refuge with us and
would never go far away from camp
until one day for a moment he might
forget himself. The dogs would then
rush upon him and tear him into pieces.

The Popularity of Golf.

The death St Wayman McCreery of
st. Louis, tbs expert billiard player.
has evoked considerable discussion ow-
ing to the assertion of Dr. Bernays, a
well known surgeon, that Mr.. McCree-
~ was killed by too strenuous addic-
ton to the game of golf. DR.. Bernays
declares that it is dangerous in the ex-
IRENE for men who have passed the
meridian Of life to take up the game,
AS might be expected, the doctors
statements have provoked whirlwind
Of criticism from devotees of golf, who
are by no means small band. I
On the face Of it golf does not appear
to be a very strenuous game; but, as
players well know, it. may easily be.
come so. Therein lies not only the Sc
cret Of it's popularity, but also of it's
dangers. Americans will never be con-
tent with parlor games. When lawn
tennis first made it's appearance in this
country, it was tabooed by sportsmen
and athletes as game fit to be played
only by women. But the experts open
ed the eyes Of the laymen, and today
lawn tennis is more popular than ever.
The same thing may be said of golf.
One can either loaf around the links if
he is lazy or can work like beaver if
he is energetic. And the American golf
player is much more liable to belong to
the second class than to the first.
In the case Of Mr.. McCreery it ap-
pears that he took up the game of golf
in an effort to reduce his weight and
that it was his habit to make the cir
cult Of the links not merely once or
twice, but often thrice, thus covering
in the course Of an afternoon much
more ground than even a professional
would care to traverse. Now, it must
be remembered that in golf pretty
nearly every muscle Of the body is
brought into action in making the va
rious strokes, and the effect on a heavy
man cannot result otherwise than in a
severe strain. Whether or no golf was
really the cause of Mr.. McCreery's
death we are not in a position to judge,
but there is without doubt a possibility
that it brought on condition Of things
which would leave him in a very poor
way to combat any illness.
Golf, however, is deservedly popu-
lar game, but few will admit this until
they have themselves essayed it. It is
a little more than the mere hitting and
hunting Of the tiny white sphere. A
man is called on to use not only his
muscles, but his brain, in an extraordi-
nary degree, for strategy and alertness
are essential to successful goling. In
this game, therefore. the American
man Of affairs can find the truest form
Of relaxation, che which will engross
his attention to the extent Of making
him utterly forgetful of business wor-
ries. But let him remember that in
golf, as in everything else, enough is as
good as feast.
