Patten. the wheat king, mas Wish-
drawn from the market a1ter olsPoSnns
of his heavy holdings OF May and July
wheat was asserted In many quarIeis
here today. To this assertion
militude was added by the fact tna'
nrices have tumbled over 8 cents dur
mo the last week and that Mr.. Patten
himself has sought rest In the raSt-
nasses of a New Mexico ranch. Whetn-
ar he has eliminated himself from the
so-called deal and II so, wnether nc
came ont with profit or loss, are Ques-
tions which can be answered only py
Mr. Patten himself, but he, according
to dispatches today, does not seem III
clined to answer. The session ., Ine
board of trade was sensational one
today. The first quotations Were S.als.
ling disappointments to the puils. rrol,
nearly every point came reports OF
nornoal or even better crop prospects,
Rears Allied the wheat pit In dense
mass and poured forth a swollen stream
Of wheat. 1t was a tremendous nqul-
dating market. e. Patten might nave
heen buyine secretly through others
than his own house. From him tnere
has come no word that he has chang
ed his views as to the value or wneaI'
He called May wheat cheap at Sl.ls,
and IL he still thinks so 1t is pointeo
out that the same option at VIII TO
day was an excellent investment Ine
same was said Of July at sl.oss. Ihese
prices are apparently cents under the
high price OF last Friday. Many a for
tune has been wiped out by the de-
cline this week.
Washington April 21: His amend, u,
n,ent TO the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill
providing for a graduated income taN
was introduced today by Senator cum,
mins of Iowa. Mr.. Cummins pointed
ont that II differs in some important
particulars from either the law or 1884
or the amendment offered by Senator
Bailey. It exempts incomes below So,-
600 and authorizes the deductlon OF
that amount from every dutiapie m
come. The rate provided for Is as tol-
lows: Upon incomes not exceeolns
$4,000, 2 per cent; upon incomes not
exceeding $4,000, % per cent; upon
incomes not exceeding $4,000, per
cent; upon incomes not exceeding
$50. 600, 81 per cent; upon incomes not
exceeding $50. 900, 4 per cent; upon in
comes not exceeding 100000, per
cent. upon all incomes exceeding $1OO,-
600. 6 per cent. Mr.. Cummins believes
that the graduated tax so provided Tor
will produce a somewhat less revenue
than a. fiat tax Of 3 per cent, and is
of the opinion that the amount raised
under his amendment would be about
$4,000, 900. Another point Of difference
Is that the duty is to be levied only
upon individual incomes. He treats
corporations as mere instrumentailtles
for individual profit and the chief rea-
SON for not including corporations Is
that to put a. tax upon the income OF
CORPORATIONS Is to tax those who are
stockholders Of the corporation, out
whose total incomes would not reach
$4,000. precisely as though they had
dutiable incomes. This would be the
result with fiat rate, but he points
out that when the graduated tax Is en-
ployed II Is obvious that the Individual
income can alone be considered; 9th
erwise," he says, 'the man with the
lowest dutiable income would, In so tar
as II is derived from corporation, Of
tentimes bear the maximum rate leVieo
upon the highest incomes.
-Constantinople, April 22: The
Young Turks have won another Victo-
ry over Sultan Abdul Hamid, but
whether the sultan will remain as SOW
ereign Of the empire is yet to be de-
cided, although he has offered to place
the affairs of government entirely In
the hands of the ministers responsible
TO parliament. Tewfik Pasha, the grand
vizier today arranged a compromise
with certain influential constitutional
lists and this was approved by the sui
tan personally, but doubt Is expressed
whether this will be accepted by the
majority of the committee of union and
progress or by enough of the military
group to carry it into effect. In addi-
ton to promising to withdraw himself
from administrative activities, the sui
tan agrees to a change in the personne
of the troops guarding the palace and
the replacing Of the Constantinople
garrison by troops from the corps
which has practically been investing the
city for four days. The chamber anc
deputies and some of the senator's mel
today at San Stefano and are now dis
cussing the question of the deposition
of the sultan. The warships have gone
to that place and officers and mer
have offered their services to the con-
stitutional party. Mahmoud Schefke,
Pasha, commander of the third army
corps, has arrived at that place and
the concentration of the investing army
is now complete. Doubtless the next
twenty-four hours will decide the fate
of the sultan, who remains passiyely
at his palace, awaiting the issue. The
