Washington, Jan. 2-The problem OF
raising additional revenue for the gov
eminent to avoid the threatened def
cit at the end of the next fiscal year
has assumed such proportions that ad-
ministration leaders in Congress are re-
viewing the entire free list to consider
the advisability of placing tariff duties
on other commodities than coffee, rub
Der and wool and increasing the pres
ent tariff on sugar. Revenues to be
derived from these four sources will
fall far below the sum needed. unless
there Is a radical revision upward of
the tariff duties originally proposed on
them.

stated, however, that he expected to re-.

the theory that if Mr.. Arredondo was NOT

About the Hotels

The scenes about the Augusta House
during Tuesday were of the same nature
as on Monday evening, with the addition
of several scores more people, all inter
ested in some candidate for Office or some
measure to be introduced at the coming
session. Little knots and coteries here
and there were as wrapped up in the
subject under discussion as though the
entire fate of the country depended upon
their settlement of the matter.
Senators and representatives were alike
buttonholed and canvassed for their sup
port of this and that and it is impossible
to say what may have been the induce
ments made or the support promised. 1t
is safe to say that part of the time one
of the parties would break away with
happy smile upon his countenance,
while again no sign of encouragement
could be detected. The outcome of the
whole series of interviews and importun-
ties is told in the report of the results
of the caucuses

London, Jan. 3.a-The morning news
papers in their Petrograd dispatches
today feature stories of the reported
death of Gregory Rasputin. the Rus
sian monk The reports OF the death of
Rasputin. evidently are making a stir
in Russia. not only on account of his
personality, but owing to allegations
that two persons of exalted rank and
well-known former member of the
Duma were concerned in his taking
off.
According to one story two young
aristocrats drove in an automobile the
night of Friday Saturday to a house
where a man, assumed to have been
Rasputin, entered the car, which then
went to Yussupoff palace, which is
owned by the young Prince Yussopoff,
heir to General Prince Yussupoff, aide
to Emperor Nicholas.
