The Moorish Uprising.

Madrid, July 12.-Although the

down, the government is planning the
occupation of the adjacent territory by a
strong body OF troops. Eighteen bat

artillery are emberking to and another
brigade is being Modified to be dis
patched as early as possible. The gov
eminent officials are making it very
plain that military activity ia
directed solely against the Moors, but
1t is learned on highest authority that
the immediate response of the War De-

for reiniorcements in Manila is due to q
fssr that the uprising will give an OPP
portunity for French interference in
Spanish influence in Africa. Strong

HOUSE.


having adjourned Friday until Tuesday.
HOUSE.
With its adoption assured 10 advance,
the House today entered upon a four
hours discussion of the resolution sub.
hitting to the states an income tax
amendment to the constitution. II came
from the Senate, where it was adopted
last week.
Chairman Payne of the ways aud
means committee expressed a strong be-
lief that an income tax would be uucon-
stitutional.
A democrat asked him whether it was
necessary for revenue purposes.
Mr.. Payne adroitly stated that he had
made careful estimste Of the revenues
that would be produced by the House
tSriff bill, and it would have been snffi-
cient, but be had not made an estimate
on the Senate bill. He expressed pref
erence for corporation or inheritance
tax over an income tax.
Mr.. Mccall (rpn. Mass said that to
act upon matter OF such Importance as
an income tax amendment to the consti.
tuition without 1t having received serious
consideration by a committee, was r
matter OF extraordinary levity. 1t would
destroy the superintendent principle OF
the constitution, which says that direct
taxes must be sppOrlioned according to
population. II would open q way,
carefully guarded 10 the constitution, of
the possibility Of a smaller state taking
undue advantage of the lsrger snd richer
state. A majority Of the Senate, he
said, was composed OF member repre-.
senting states that have only one.sixth
OF the total population OF the country.
Mr.. Champ CLARK, the democratic
leader, 6ecOmed the conversion of the
republican to doctrine that had long
been subscribed to by the democrats and
was still favored by them. The idea of
amending the constitution, however,
was a scheme on the part of the Senate
TO prevent Congress from passing an in
come tax Law without delay.
Mr.. Clayton, dem. Ala, spoke 10
favor Of the income tax ana Mr.. Hill,
(rpu. Conn., denounced IT, Mr.. Picketts,
(rpn. Iowa. condemned the corporation
tax as a dangerous approach to an in
vasion of states rights, but he favored
and income tox.
While republicans we're speaking Of
an income tax as war measure, said
Mr.. James, Dem. KY, they voted
against ga income tax bill introduced by
the democrats at the time OF the war
with spain.

Although the running loose of useless
and homeless CANNES on the streets of
Alexandria is nuisance for which there
should be some effective remedy, IL is
earnestly hoped that no such spectacle
"a witnessed on the river front Saturday
evening will again be repeated. We
would willingly suffer the nuisance of
dogs. An officer of the law had tied
rock to the neck of some unfortunate
brute and then threw him overheard.
The weight, however, was insufficient
and the dog swam to the neighboriug
dock where he clawed helplessly and
yelped piteously. 10 q short time a
large crowd was attracted, among whom
we're several ladies' saed on the balcony
of the Old Dominion boat house. They
begged that mercy be extended to the
animal, yet their appeal was met only
by a majestic wave Of the minIon's hand,
who then proceeded TO fire upon the un-
happy victim. But his aim was as bad
as his clemency, and he only succeeded
in wounding the deg which Aoundered
about in pool of blood, all the while
yelpiDg wildly in its anguish. He then
got long pole and With this jsbbed st
the dog until it finally succnmbed to
these inhumsn tactics, sOd the csrcas was
left there to breed discomfort and disessf.
We naturally expect from an officer OF
the law certain display Of discretion;
and 1t is earnestly hoped that those to
whom be Is responsible will hereafter
see that the disposition OF worthless
will be marked With a humane
effort, and not by such procedure as
above, which was q shocking add IN
nerving spectacle to those who unfor.u-
ma ely witnessed it. X
