WAS111NGTON, Nov. 1.-A call was
issued this morning for a full meeting
of the Democratic members of the
Ways and Means Committee to be held t
tomorrow, at which it was expected
that the lirst draft of the new tariff
bill would bm considered. Later in the
day it was decided to ptstpone the
meeting of the majority members of
the committee indefinitely. Bourke
Cockran. of Nqw York who had been
telegraphed for had not' arrived, And
Lynum of Indiana was unexpectedly
called out of the city last night. Both
gentlemen may be present tomorrow
but further action will depend upon
their movements.
Several members of the majority
were kept busy yesterday listening to
arguments and appeals froin fterest
ed persons and parties who desired to
have their views upon certain ua..ti-rs
incorpoiated into the new tariff bill.
The most important of t hite, were del.
egations from Alabama and \rirgin:.

ured, some fatally, in jumping from the n

About a quarter past 7 o'clock peo. t
pie in the vicinity were startled by the
report of an explos'on and a flash. In v
an instant tie flames were pouring from rl
Lhe lower floor of the six-storv building t
)ccu,)ied by the Schmalzried 1iirdware
Company. The second, third, fourth.
and fifth floors were occupied by the Y.
N1. C. A., and it was in this place that
'he terrible lose of life occurred. c
The fire started from the explosion of w
a large coal oil lamp near the stairway, k
md in three minutes the entire front of b
the building was in flames and all means l
)f exit cut oil. There were about fif.
Leen people in the library when the 0
ilarm was given. They made a wild
ush for the main street exit only to be '
Iriven back by the llams. Like ~a flock a
>f sheep, they ruihed iu a bunch for the al
inudows at the rear ot the building, but
;he flames had sprend so rapidly through i
.he building that the Ptcings of three ofr
lhe windows were on 1ire when they a
-eached the rear of the building.
They stood huddled to-ether at the
vindow for a moment or two, when the
,rowd below yelled "leap, Jumip for

lot yet made t.heir final revision of any
if tiie 4chedult-s, but a number of them ti:
tre decided upon for all practical pur- m
loses and will not be changed except m

mnue tariff will he pretty c'oselv ad- p
tered to in dealing with raw mtaterials

ers decided at the outset that' they

tlat ion of the last Congress as their Wi

Lared that the party "endorse the ef- uil
>rts madie by the D>emocrats of the bf
reseint Congress to modify its most sih
ppressive features in the direction of Co
ee raw materials, arid cheaper man- Lb
factured goods that enter into gener- let
consumption." There are reasons d

ill embody in the bill substantially

venue will be met by an Income tax, At
some of the Democratic memb)ers of nel
tom louse whlo are urging the proposi- ani
L)n are to be believed. The pressure wbd
is been stroiig to impose a moderate tio
x on incomes above $2,500, in prefer- at
ce to ,)utting duties back on tea, of
Ifee or sugar. The exact rate of the elic
come tax has not been determined, of
it it will apply to all inicomes above ho
e amount named, with certain allow-fl
ices for house rent andl for losses t
rough fire and other causes. It is me
lculated that an immense revenue Wi
n be (derived from a very small tax ing

and( b)usiness men throughout the shi
untry, and thfs will equalize the his

THE PROPOSED INCOME TAX.
Revenue of Fifty B111lione Dolilars Ex
Pected Therefrom.
WASHINOTON, Nov. 15.-A revenuf
fifty million dollars is expected bj
ie Democrats of the ways and meani
)mmittee from the moderate incom(
Lx which they propose to incorporate
i the new revenue bill. The rate ol
ke tax will probably be 2 per cent. and
le exemptions will be high enough tc
iclude the great mass of laboring men
ad peoplo on small salaries. The limil
ow un<ler discussion is from $3,500 tc
1,000. A great many statistics havc
een prepared by the Treasury expertiE
a the incomes of the country and the
ttes of revenue obtained under differeni
lans, and it is believed that a 2 pei
3nt. rate will yield a handsome addition
> the revenue of the government. 1
ie increase in the revenue should provQ
isufflicient, after a year or two, to meel
ie demands of the Treasury, the ratc
light be elightly increased, or the limil
' exempt.lon lowered. One of the at,
actions of the income tax to those
kembers of the committee who are ad
ocating it allows changes ia the rate tc
iet the demands of the Treasury, with.
Lt listurbing the industries of the coun.
y, as in the case ot changes in the
rill.
If the income tax is adopted in the
irm now undrr consideration, other
ianges in the internal reventue laws
ill not be necessary. There will be
o increase in the bter tax, the whis
ay tax, the tax on manufactured to
acco or the tax on cigars. The ques
on of the duty on sugar is still an oper
ie, but it is not unlikely that a dutj
ill be imposed of about 1 per cent,
er pound on both raw and reflned sug.
r. This will enable the committee tc
>andon the bounty now paid the Lou
iana and Nebraska growers, without
aving them absolutely without protec.
on against foreign competiti >n. It iE
so desired to strike a blow at the sugar
ut by making the duty on refined sugat
ibgtantiallv the same as on raw sugar.
lie rcciprocity section, which deals
ith sugar, hides, tea and coffee, will
obably be stricken from the law, but
ithout necessarily abrod!ating the ex
ting reciprocity arrangements with
ermany, with Spain regarding Cuba
kd with the South American couttries.
lie articles named will remain free of
ity from all countries, unless a small
x is Imposed on sugar, and it is not be
ved that the countries no%v having re
.rocitv arrangements will desire to
rogate them, tecause the rotaliatorv
ties against Venezuela, Columbia and
titi -uav be abandoned.
The (reatment of bituminuous coal is
other open question with the Demo.
ifs of the commi.tee. Coal was on
, free list in the oi ignal draft of the
riff bill, in accordance with the pldge
'he Democratic national plattorm to
odify the McKinley law in the dirce.
m of free raw materials. The pro.
sta from the coal districts oi West
i- ginia. Pennsylvania, Tennessee and
labaua has been so strorig, however,
at some of the members of the corn
ittee are weakening, and may vote to
1ain a small duty.
Chairman Wilson hopes to present
e completed bill to the Repubi;can
embers of the ways and means com
ittee by the latter part of next week,
that they can have their minority re
>rt ready upon the meeting of Con.
ess in December. HIe is not in favor
a party caucus to pass8 u,>on the bill,
It believes that, it should toe fairly con
lered by the 110use as p)resca ted by
s committee. This was the course
thi the Mills bill, and no caucuses
,re held until debate began, under the
e minute rule, on the separate ached
~s. Mr. Wilson believes that the
1 will be more symmetrical and con
tent if' taken up as it comes fro,n the
inmitt-ee, and that general debate in
SHouse will solve some of' tbe prob
ns which mIght cause an intermninabile
cuission to a p)arty caucus.
