INCOME TAX WILL
 JET ATTENTION
Senator Bailey Scheduled To
 Speak Today
OFFERS AN AMENDMENT
His Idea Is for a Flat Rate for the Taxing of lncomes-The House Marks Time and Waits
 for the Senate.

Washington, April 25.-The income tax in connection with the tariff bill will receive especial attention in the Senate during the present week. Senator Bailey, who has introduced an amendment pro- viding for a fiat rate of taxing incomes will speak on Monday in support of his amendment, and he probably will be fol- lowed by others for and against the pro- vision.
 MT Bailey has made careful study of the question, and will be prepared to pre- sent the subject in all of it's bearings He is expected to express himself pontedly. He hopes to conclude on Monday, but may continue for at least two days.
 The committee on finance probably will report it's final amendments to the tariff schedules tomorrow, and as soon as the opportunity permits the Senate will return to the consideration of the bill paragraph by paragraph. There are about 200 of these paragraphs.
 The general opinion is that the bill will remain in the Senate three or four weeks. There are few Senate speeches in pros pct, among those who will speak being Messrs. Rayner, Clay and Bacon The two Georgia senators occupy opposite po- stions on the lumber schedule, MT. Clay standing for free lumber and MT. Bacon for the retention of the Dingley rates of g. per 1000 feet.
 The House is making no effort to main tain a quorum, and there Is a disposition to avoid any effort at legislation. It is expected the Philippine tariff bill will be reported tomorrow from the ways and means committee, but not that it will be taken up for eonsidera ton. The House also has before it the demands for the Senate for a further conference on the bill pro- viding for the taking of the next census, and If there should be a quorum at to- morrows meeting the new House con- ferees on this measure may be named. The committee on appropriations is pre- pared to proceed with consideration of the bill appropriating $1O,0o0O00 for the con- duct of the census.
 If the census question should be taken up the conduct of the census bureau doubtless will receive attention in view of recent developments in that connec- ton.

Colonel Roosevelt spent part of yesterday afternoon sort ing his kit, while Kermit and several of the men went to try their luck with the rifles. An old settler, who seemed to take a liking to Kermit, offered to show him likely place for good sport. They succeeded in bringing down one buck
 Colonel Roosevelt's first hunt was favored by fine weather and he sen- 1oyed the experience immensely. He baggade two wildebeasts and a Thomp- sons gazelle. In one respect MT Roosevelt was somewhat disappointed as he had been anxious to secure a Grants gazelle whose massive horns are much sought after for trophies. The hunt lasted several hours and all the members of the party were well tired out when they returned to camp.
 Smallpox is prevalent at Nairobi and two cases have developed among the porters at Kapiti. These have been ouarantined and the strictest preeau- tions are being observed to prevent spread of the disease among those at- tached to the Roosevelt party.
