TUESDAY EVENING, MAY 2, 1906.

TREASURY experts and politicians IN
terested in preventing changes in the
present tariff law are busy planning
methods of raising revenue by an increase
ofinternal taxation, so as to have plan
for meeting the present deficit fully
formed when Congress assemblies, with a
view to averting tariff revision. Revival
Of those forms of taxation which proVid-
cd such abundant revenues during the
Spanish war period has been suggested
A tax upon bank checks and on all nego-
table paper is regarded as certain TO
give the government all the money IL
will! need in the near future. 1t Is PLAN
that there must be revenue legislation
Al the coming session Of Congress. II
internal revenue taxes are not increased
the tariff must be lowered. 1t is this al
formative that causes all the cOmmotion'
for the indications are that the tariff
question would divide the republican
strength into faction. Tariff revisionlst'
in the party believe the President will
declare himself in favor of revision in
his message. 1t is known he intended to
suggest readiustment Of the schedules
in his last message, but was dissuaded
because of the obvious impOssibility Of
tariff legislation in a short session. Il
the President recommends a lowering o.
duties, then the stand-Patters will offer as
a substitute for the suggestion prop
Osition to revive at lease some OF the wal
taxes. The monthly comparative stale
ment of the government receipts and ex-
penditures shows that for April, 1910,
receipts were $50, 77S,lS and expendi-
lures $4S, $3.50, $50, leaving a deficit OF
$9,2l1,4l9. AS compared with April
OF last year. receipts show 81, 75l, 24O
decrease, and expenditures, an increase OF
81 ,979, $50, making difference for the
month of SO, 7SO, SIC.

Bank Robbed.

Binghamton, N. Y, May 1.-The
Gilbertsville National Bank was entered
and robbed this morning at 2 o'clock.
The people hearing the explosion came
into the street to learn the cause, and
were promptly held at bay by FIVE armed
men. The vaults were blown to pieces
and the building itself was slightly dam
aged by the explosion. The amount
taken is not known. The robbers cut all
the telegraph and telephone wires. This
morning, few miles from town, two
carriages were found. One carriage was
broken and the horse of the other was
down. 1t is supposed the robbers were
forced to the woods and their capture by
band ofarmed men may speedily follow

Today's Telegraphic News
The Troubles In Warsaw.

Warsaw, May 2.-Another general
strike will probably be the outcome of
Yesterdays firing on the people by the
troops. Workingmen are making a crest
effort to take advantage of the anger of
the popuIace, which was aroused by the
bloodshed, TO inaugurate another season
of strikes and disorder. Fears are ex-
pressed that the clashes of yesterday are
only the beginning, and that there will
be further bloodshed. =
Today delegations of workingmen
from the number who we're fred upon
yesterday began visiting all the factories
in the city. Appeals were made to the
employees at each place visited, urging
them to lay down their tools and go out
on strike. The hope of the commit.
tees is to tie up all lines of industry with
general strike. Just how successful
they will be cannot be told at this time.
The authorities here regard tomorrow
as a day to be feared and they dread a
renewal of the conflict between the pop
ulace and soldiers at that time. The
casualties resulting from the clashes
yesterday are estimated at fifty civilians,
three cossacks and two policemen killed,
while the number of wounded is esli-
mated at over 100.
1t is doubtful whether these figures
give the entire list of killed, however.
Many of the men shot down were carried
away by their friends, and as there is
danger of arrest for any of the wounded
every effort will be made to conceal their
identity.
A report has been received from
Kalisz, Poland, that soldiers broke into
a church where the people were singing
patriotic songs, and attacked them
without cause. Several of the people
were killed outright, while many others
were injured. The church has been
closed az a result of the dissertation.
Late this afternoon it became ap-
parent that the strike agitators we're pre-
pairing to create disturbance during the
night, and taking steps to insure a
strike tomorrow.
Proclamations were issued in the name
of the social democratic party calling
out all the workmen in the city on a
general strike. The warning was also
issued to the people generally telling
them not to leave their homes tonight.

BattIeshIps for Turkey

Constantinople, May 2.-rhe Turkish
government has placed an order for an
armored cruiser with the Cramps Ship
building Company, of Philadelphia.
Orders for two other protected cruisers
have been placed in France, and it is
expected that still others will follow
shortly. rhe Sultan is ambitious to
raise Turkey to the position of fourth
class naval power, and this accounts for
the activity in ordering new vessels. AT
the same time steps are being taken to-
ward increasing the efficiency of the
army. The order for quick firing guns,
which was placed with Germany some
time ago, has been increased to $50 bat
teries. Every army corps in European
Turkey is to be supplied with these new
rapid fire guns.

The Governors Proclamation.

Governor Montague yesterday issued
the following proclamation concerning
the death of General Fiizhugh Lee;
A beloved son Of Virginia has fallen
in the midst of his labors and useful
ness, crowned vita honors.
Fitzhugh Lee is no more
The announcement of his death has
brought sorrow to the hearts of the peo-
pie of the Commonwealth, whom he
loved devotedly and served faithfully
and cOurageously in peace and in wsr.
1t was his lot to be called upon to act
for his country in many positions of
great responsibility and magnitude, the
duties OF which required diverse and
exalted qualities of mind and heart for
their faithful and efficient performance.
With an inherited conception Of duty
and versatility of talent which has
been unsurpassed, he discharged with
marked ability all the duties imposed
upon him.
As anIofficer of the United States army
from 1858 to 1851, when he experienced
active service in the Indian wars as an
officer of Virginia and of the Confederate
States in the war between the States he
commanded regiment, brigade, d.
vision of cavalry, and afterwards the en-
tire cavalry of the Army of Northern
Virginia; and again as general officer
and corps commander of the United
States army in the war between the
United States and Spain, he exhibited
such qualities of a soldier, and such
traits of character as won for him i'm
mortal fame.
AS governor of this commonwealth,
at an important period, he commanded
and deserved the coIAmendation, ap-
proval and love of her people. As
United States cole tor of internal re-
venue for the Sixth district OF Virginia
and other civil positions of trust and
honor he was faithful and efficient.

if tho troop is acceptable, until it br-
comes a part of the District National
Guard. Capt. Lake speaks of his COM
pany as being composed Of disciplined
men and hopes it will be credit to the
District of Columbia. Capt. Oden Lake
is a Virginian by birth, and is SOD Of
the late Thos. w. Lake, OF Loudoun
county, Confederate officer in the 4Srd
Battalion of Virginia Cavalry, under Col.

ceIlent officer, as he is liked by all. He
started his military career in 1896, served
through the Spanish war and Boxer up
rising in China.
