Of revenue TO the government through
the removal OF the duty on sugar. as

been passed by the representatives.
The excise bill has been under dis
cussion by the house for the last two
days, the debate being marked by
many speeches sharply criticiring the
United States by which a previous In
come tax measure was declared uncon-
stitutional
The present bill was prepared with
a view 10 meeting objections raised by
the highest court against II In the liti'
cation OF few years ago. II exempts
incomes OF less than $4,000 a year.
From the time OF the first appear

there were indications that the pro
posed legislation would be aided by
the insurgent Republicans. either ac'
lively with votes or passively by neu-
Gality. The expectations then raised
were borne out when the ballot dis
closed an overwhelming majority In
favor OF the bill.
An outburst OF applause from the
Democratic side accompanied the an
nouncement of the vote and was re-
newed when II was learned that Re
publicans had voted for the measure.
There were no Democratic votes
against the passage OF the bill.
The bill would extend the existing
corporation tax law to include a tax

Just before the explosion those on

felt the earth tremor. When those

burned and are practically unrecog-

Later IL was reported a rescuing

vas the last trip Of the rescuing party.
Men on duty in the shafthouse ran
from that structure when the noise OF
the explosion came to their ears as
muffled roar, soon followed by puts
of smoke from the mouth Of the shaft.
The alarm spread quickly and for
time wild confusion reigned. Volun-
teers were called for to enter the
shaft. Dozens stepped forward.
A party was selected and had been
lowered but a short distance into the
shaft when the thickening smoke
warned them that a fierce fire was In
progress below. These we're forced
to return to the surface because Of
the deadly fumes.
Within half an hour after the explo-
sion dense clouds of sickening smoke
were pouring from the mouth OF the
mine.
An order was issued forbidding any
one to approach the mine. When news
OF this order spread the crowds in the
vicinity of the mine succumbed to wild
manifestations Of grief.
