FROM present indications II seems I'M
possib lie that the republican majority 10
Congress will ever adopt al income tax
until the protective tariff and other de-
vices fail to supply sufficient revenues
for The government despite the expo
sure Of the iniquiiies Of the Dingley
act aud ils proposed substitute. AS the
discus sion proceeds in the Sautt' 1t be-
comes more and more evident than in
the action of the House that the repub'
lican leaders in Congress have no serl'
ous intention to lessen the burdens OF
the people by a substantial revision OF
the tariff. Notwithstanding the decls'
ntions of President TAFT when csDdi-

New Sultan Retrenches

Oonsiantinople, April 29.-5ultan
Mehmed V. insugurssed a sweeping
policy Of economy toisy by cutting OF
scores OF attaches from the palace civil
list and removing hundreds OF supernum'
ersries from the various government de-
partments. The Yildiz Kiosk now has q
force OF attendants about the size OF that
maintained at the White House In
Washington.
All told, SEVERAL thousand persons
taYe been let out of their soft jobs aud q
saving to the government of millions oil
dollars effected.
There is The highest authority today
for the statement that the Young Turks
intend virtually to court martial Abdul
Hamid, the deposed sultan. Ii this Is
done, bis execution is probable, as the
Young Turks would hardly care to take
this action unless they had sufficient evil
dence to insure Adults conviction OF
some penal Ofiense.
The hiding place ofAbduls fortune Is
now what is worrying the Young Turks.
They are convinced that he has millions
hidden away, but have not succeeded In
getting from Abdul any intimation as to
where bis fortune is. 1t is believed that
the threat OF court martial is really for
the purpose OF making Abdul disgorge,
and that II he will do. so, his personal
safety will be guaranteed.
The body of Nadir Pasha, the second
eunuch Of Abdul Hands old palace
gusrd, was found baOgiDg this morning
on the Gala.e bridge. Nsdir, who was
accused of having plotted the uprising OF
April 10, aud to have been the "eVil
genius" Of Abdul Hsmid, was tried BY
by court martial and sentenced TO be
hanged. His execution took place dur
ing the night, Dut the body was allowed
to hang for hours before being cut down.
