10 be in no wise directed against tbe
constitutional government has Great
ed an excellent impression on tho
public.
Vice Almiral Adjiemin Pasha, the
new minister of marine, has resigned
owing to the hostility shown him by
the navy. The president of the coun-
Gil or state also has surrendered his
office, but on account Of i'll health.
Raif Pasha has succeeded him.
The minister Of police and other
officers identified with the committee
of union and progress have either re-
signed or disappeared.
The Selamika today was attended
by great crowd. The sultan was
loudly cheered. The ulemas offered
prayer invoking the benediction OF
heaven upon the sultan, the Sheri
laws and the empire. His majesty
afterwards gave an audience to the
ministers and reiterated to them the
solemn assurance that he would up
hold the constitution.
The city is returning to more nor
NAL conditions. Business is being re-
sumed except in Stamboul and parts
of the Caleta quarter, where many
Christian shops are still colsed, not
withstanding the declarations of the
police that the people have nothing
to fear; but the impression prevails
that the trouble is not yet ended, and
the populace is very nervous over
what is likely to happen at Salonika
and Manastir.
1t is currently reported that some
1900 Salonika troops who are march
ing to Constantinople will be received
on the outskirts of the city by dep

ficers, who, it is thought, will easily
convince them of the true meaning

put they take exception to this state
ment, and say they will be nrenare.a
to proceed with the consideration of
the bill whenever the Republican sem
ators desire to take it up.
The nearest approach to a formal
agreement of the Senators was a re-
iteration of their former expressions
in favor of an income tax. There IS
no doubt that the party in the senate
is united on that point, but there was
no effort to bring about a concerted
understanding en- rates of duty on
any of the articles covered by the
tariff. There was no divergence of
opinion as to the desirability of a gen.
.eral reduction of rates on necessaries
OF life, but there were some indica-
tions that individual Democratic sem
ators would stand against specified
decreases in the interests of their own
localities

UNKNOWN MAN KILLED.
BODY round Friday Morning Beside.
Railroad Track i'm Rocky Blur
Swamp.

Coroner Flowers held an inquest
Friday over the body of an unknown
white man who was found dead that
morning beside the railroad track In
Rocky Bluff Swamp, between this
city and Mayesville.
The man was apparently forty or
iorty-hve years old and had only one
leg. His crutches were found a short
distance from the body. their posi-
uon indicating that they had been,
placed on the ground when the man
seated himself on the end of the.
cross ties.
No one could identify the body ana
there was nothing found in his pock-
cts that would indicate his name or
home. He had about 81 i'm small
change and a few other articles OF
small value and a copy of the Daily
Item Of April 9Th on which was the.
address liable to Mr.. ]. j. Barrett. of
Mayesville which goes to prove that
he had been in Mayesvlle and picked
UP the paper there.
The only testimony brought at the
inquest was given by railroad section
hands who had seen the man the pre-
vious afternoon lying on the ground
in the woods about seventy-five yards
from the track. He had bottle of
whiskey and was apparently under
the influence of liquor.
DR.. T. X. Holman examined the
body and stated that death was due TO
a fractured scapula, internal injuries.
and dislocation of the neck, the result
of direct violence, which produced in
stant death.
The verdict of the jury was that
the said unknown white man came
to this death from a lick from an en-
gine on the Atlantic Coast Line Rail-
road some time during the night OF
April 18th.

New York Sun to Roosevelt.

Its most severe. The Sun jabs the

1t is great relief to know that the
King and Queen Of italy saw the Con-
tributing Editor in Rough Rider cos
tune instead Of in the tame and un-
meaning conventional attire usually
assumed by American citizens Of
great distinction when travelling
abroad. 1t was in such attire that
he became famous. In tan colored
garments and rawhide leggings, with
the frontier red handkerchief around
his neck and every tooth displayed to
its utmost advantage. he charged
What-dyecallem Hill, hilariously shot
in the back the solitary Spaniard flee
ing before his onset, and became at
once the hero Of Santiago.
Naturally it gratifed all good Ital-
ians to see the real thing at it's best.
We can imagine the awe with which
they beheld the inccrnated tragedy Of
1898 and measured the stupendous
forces that were then set in motion
against the Latin race. OF course, it
was no part of Mr.. Roosevelt's per-
sonal design to concentrate attention
on himself. The press bureau in his
train has already certified to the mod
esty with which he bears himself
abroad, and to his private preference
for seclusion in it's most bashful form.
Always inspired, he knew what the
crowned heads wanted, and he yield

Unfortunately for them the African
wild animals do not take the news
papers, or they would guess the fate
approaching them and prepare for it
according to their various tempera-
ments and opportunities. The King
and Queen of Italy saw him only in
the comparatively innocuous garb of
the Rough Rider at ease. in plain
khaki, with nothing but the Wild
west scowl and the usual sde-arms
to support the picture. That was
enough for them, no doubt; but when
the African fauna see him in full pan

INCOME TAX LAW.
senator Bailey Introduces Amend.
meht to A'drich Tariff Bill-Be-
licves His Measure Levying 3 Per
Cent OH Incomes Would Be Upheld
by The Supreme Court.

Washington. April 15.-Senator
Bailey today introduced an income tax
amendment to the tariff bill. 1t pro-
vides for a straight tax of per cent.
on all incomes above $4,000 a wear.
1t exenpts all incomes from federal,
state, county and municipal securities.
salaries of all State officers and in
comes of corporations below $4,000,
Mr. Bailey does not attempt to ayiod
the constitutional question and in
effect challenges them.
Mr.. Bailey said that the tariff bill
reported to the senate was in the main
the same as that of 1894. His income
tax amendment, he said, was the same
as the law which had formerly been
enacted with minor exceptions. He
had In this amendment raised the ex-
emption from incomes of $4,000 to in
comes of $4,000 and had raised the
rate Of tax from to per cent, which
he said, would result in a greater rev.
enue than would the per cent. tax
on $4,000 incomes.
IL have Also" said Mr.. Bailey, "re-
sponded to the unanimous decision Of
the supreme court of the United
States that congress has no power to
levy an income tax on State, county
and municipal securities and have
specifically exempted incomes derived
from that source. regard it as un-
fortunate that they were previously
included in the law. thought it plain
that the court would, and / think it
effectually plain that the court ought to
have decided. that that part Of the
law was not constitutional"
In other respects, he said. his am
endmert still challenges that decision
OF the supreme court. He was satisfied
that his amendment was not in con-
lieved a majority of the court erred
In that decision.
"And," he said, remembering that
that decision was by divided court
and that 1t overruled the decisions Of
100 years, 1 do not think 1t improper
for the American congress to consider
the question of its reconsideration by
the supreme court"
Mr. Bailey said he did not introduce
his amendment because he desired to
tax prosperity, but because he prefer
red Ito tax the incomes Of prosperous
people rather to place it upon the
backs and upon the appetites Of peo-
pie who at best are doing none too
we'll"
"Can the senator advise the senate
what amount his income tax amend
mcnt would raise?" asked Mr.. AL
drich.
mo more" replied Mr.. Bailey,
than the senator can tell the amount
his tariff bill will raise"
Mr.. Aldrich replied that he would
do that later.
Mr.. Bailey added that his amend
ment would raise from $50, 900, 900 to
$50 100000 annually.
