WAR TAX REPEAL FIRST.
TO IA We PRECEDENCE OVER
CUBAN RECIPROCITY
DECISION REACHED BY WAYS AND
MEANS COMMITTEE REPUBLI-
CANS-PRACTICALLY ALL
WAR TAXES TO GO.

Washington. Jan. 29.-The Republican mem
bers Of the Ways and Means Committee held a
private conference tonight, and decided to
frame bill for the reduction of war revenue
taxes before proceeding further with the subject
Of Cuban reciprocity. Chairman Payne at once
called a meeting of the full committee for IL
O'clock tomorrow morning, when work the
War Revenue Reduction bill will begin.
No draft Of bill has been prepared by the
Republican members but it is pretty well un-
derstood that the majority is prepared to favor
q measure effecting reductions amounting prac-
tically TO a repeal of the entire taxes, and
aggregating about SOS 100000 The restriction
Of recent hearings TO beer and tea led to the
belief that reductions might be confined to these
TWO articles, but the sentiment Of the majority
now appears TO be favorable to a much larger
reduction.
At the conference 1t was the prevailing view
that as Cuba had been the cause for incurring
The war revenue taxes, the burden should be re
moved from this country before considering the
extent Of relief to be granted to Cuba The
question Of what percentage of reduction in
tariff rates could be made for Cuba was not con-
sidered at the meeting tonight. owing to the
determination to leave this until after the war
revenue reductions had been accomplished.

NEW KLONDIKE GOLD FIND.
DISCOVERY THAT CONGLOMERATES OF
INDIAN RIVER VALLEY ARE
RICHER THAN THE
RAND.
[BY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.

Victoria B. c. Jan. 29-The Klondike con-
glomerates are far richer than the Rand. and
their wealth would make that of a CrGsus look
mining engineers at the scene OF the Indian
River discoveries, about twenty-siX miles from
Dawson. The rich find made by South
African miners. who were struck with the SINH
larity of the deposits to those of the mines OF
the Rand, and careful investigation of the neigh
boring beaches showed that the escarpments of
the Indian River Valley composed of i'm
mense masses of conglomerates Identical in com
position with those which have yielded so many
millions of treasure in South Africa.
A superficial prospect of the deposits satisfied
the miners that they were gold bearing and
subsequent examination at various points re-
vealed the fact that the stuff carried from 81
to $500 in gold to the ton. John Hepburn, one
of the most experienced and best known mining
men in British Columbia, was on the ground at
the time and took an active part in the work of
prospecting He satisfied himself as to the ex-
tent and value of the deposits, and then secured
options on 132 claims of the $50 which had been
staked Having accomplished this, he came down
to Victoria on the way to Montreal New-York
and London, where it is intended to interest cap
ital in developing his properties. Mr.. Hepburn
in an interview given to local paper says:
One of the claims Of the 49, on which l have
secured options which has been carefully exam
ined by a competent mining engineer Will yield
S64 000 600 in gold. There is enough or the

A Strange Adventure in Railway Compartment.

was barely perceptible in the general
fracas-a slight rustling among the
papers at my side. Careless as /
usually am, 1t Is wonder that the
sound attracted my attention, and still
more of one that I thought Of my
pocketbook. BY some intuition, how
ever, I did so.
Not Intentionally, but with an in
stinctive, rough gesture, of which I
should have been ashamed in the day
light, I forcibly threw both my hands
over the scattred papers and pressed
down with all my might. Then, with
a start, I felt something move under
the pile, like and animal in trap try
ing to escape by twisting, turning and
pulling. 1 bore down all the harder.
Just then the train whistle shrieked
out. The speed slackened and we
came to a standstill in the blackness
of the tunnel. For a moment I expe-
rienced a veritable nightmare. With
a rustling and tearing of papers, the
struggle continued, silently but fierce
ly.
After having wriggled and turned
desperately in every direction, like a
strangled reptile, the hand, crushed
under my palms, lay quiet. I saw
nothing heard nothing, not even a
breath. | knew. however, that my
companion was on the alert, noting
my every movement. Suffocated by
emotion and wearied by the tension on
my nerves, I waited for the daylight
for deliverance.
After a period of time, very short,
probably, but the length of which 1
could not estimate, the train began to
move slowly. My relief at this was so
great that my whole being invoiuntar-
lily relaxed relaxed from Its. tension.
This was evidently expected, for the
hand again tried to free Itself. not by
violent jerks this time, but by strong.

lntemperanee Among English Women
Increasino

Lady Henry Somerset, president of
the Worlds Woman's Christian Tenn
perance Union, who arrived in New
York on the Minneapolis Monday, came
on purpose to attend the National
Woman's Christian Temperance Union
convention, to be held at Portland.
Me-, from Oct. II to %. In speaking of
the temperance movement in England,
Lady Henry said that there are now
more than one hundred thousand
members, and the number is constant
ly increasing. AS yet there are few til
tied women who have taken a hand in
the temperance cause.
1T doesn't appeal to them" she said.
THE work of reclamation interests

ent. However, 1t is only. a question
of time when they will be obliged to
admit the necessity, for intemperance

is a sad commentary of the English
life, but | am sorry to say that it is
true. Drinking has become so prev
alent that 1t is an open secret. Women,
think, are beginning to appreciate it,
too, and admit, many of them, that
something must be done to stem the
tlde. organized active measures alone
can do this"
don, Lady Henry is conducting a home
for inebriate women, and her efforts
in this direction have met with great
success. Before attending the con-
,yention Lady Henry and her party will
make short Canadian tour for rest
and change. Some one suggested that
one did not usually come to America
for rest, but Lady Henry remarked
that in her case, after the strenuous
life of the London East side tenement
work, the change would be in the ma
ture of a vacation. Although she will
remain only a short time In this coun-
try, she has planned an itinerary and
programme that viii occupy every
minute of her time.
The party leaves this morning for
Niagara Falls, where a short visit will
be made. From there they go on to
Montreal and Quebec. After ten days
of recreation in Canada Lady Henry
will go direct to Portland, where she
will be the most important speaker
at the convention, and where it is ex-
pected that between six and seven
hundred delegates will be in attend
ance.
