WILL BE COLLECTED.
The House, by a Big Majority, Appropriates
Money to Collet the Income
Ta.
CASE OF THE EXPATRIATED ASTOR.
The Senate Temporarily Puts Off the
Tariff Bills and the Cloture
Resolution.
Washington, Dec. 12.--On the motion
of Breckinridge, of Kentucky, the house
went into commitee of the whole for
the consideration of the urgency de
ficlency appropriation bill. The bill
carried $2,001,605, but there were two
disputed Items-an appropriation of
$260,000 for the collection of the Income
tax and $M15,000 for expenses of spec'ial
examiners of the pension office. An at
tempt to secure an agreement flxing
the limit of general debate failed, owing
to the objection of Bartlett. of New
York, who led the opposition to the
income tax item, and Henderson, of
lows, who led the opposition to the ap
propriation for special examiners of the
pensipn office.
The latter took the floor and vigor
ously antagonized the appropriation for
special examiners, criticliing severely
the conduct of the pension office. The
commissioner of pensions had boasted
that $3,000,000 of pension money had
been saved to the government last year.
The mission of examiners was to secure
evidence against, not in favor of, pen
sioners and claimants. He favored an
amendment that would cut off this
auxiliary for more examiners and keep
in the field only the regular number,
100.
Mr. Sickles, democrat, of New York,
amid a roar of republican applause,
repudiated the charge of wholesale
frauds made agaInst pensioners, and
declared his unaltered opposition to the
appropriation unless it could be authorl
tatively shown that the pension exam
iners provided for by it were employed
in aiding Instead of embarrassing de
serving claimants.
After some further debate on the sub
ject of this appropriation Bartlett got
the floor and opened the discussion of
the income tax appropriation. He was
earnestly oppoed to this vicious tax.
The bill he had introduced for its re
peal he knew would never see the lisht
of day, and the opponents of that tax
must make their fight against the ap
propriation necessary to make it oper
ative. He realised that a majority of
his party were against him, and that
the republicans would not support him
as a party. The democrats had, in his
opinion, made a fatal mistake In pass
sag it, and that it was a mistake had
been proved within a few weeks by the
ballot box.
Mr. McMillin defended the income tax
as a just. constitutional and democratic
measure. In the course of a hot col
loquy with Bartlett that followed, Mc
Millin said: "In order to'show the fla
grant wrong and misery that the sys
tem of taxation under which we have
been living, I will call your attention
to William Waldorf Astor. This gen
tleman ran for congress once against
the present governor of New York,
Flower, and was defeated. His defeat
soured and embittered him against the
government and our institutions. He
moved abroad, and, not content with
what he could say against America
himself and our American institutions.
he purchased one of the ablest journals
in Great Britain. He lives there now
and his paper is doing its work against
our institutions. The income of this
man derived from property in New York
is more than five millions of dollars a
year, and aside from state, county and
municipal tax, he does -not pay the
government of the United States $10
in ten years, although he has this colos
sal fortune, which is protected by our
army and defended by our navy."
"The secretary of the treasury re
ports," Interrupted titrauss, "that there
will be a surplus of revenue to the ex
tent of $20,000,000 for the year ending
June 30, 1895. If there should be a sur
plus Is not the gentleman willing to
have the Income tax repealed?"
"I would not be," replied McMillin.
until you have compiled with the law.
When you comply with the law and pay
$30,000,000 a year upon the sinking fund
-then, if we have a suplus, I shall be
ready to discuss the question of the re
peal of this tax."
Mr. Henderson. of Iowa, and Mr.
Cockran, of New York, both stated that
they considered debate on the merits
of the income tax unprofitable. Both
hoped the election had furrnished an
intellectual awakening on the demo
cratic side which would result in the
repeal of "this odious tax." Mr. C',.,k
ran said he and his New York col
leagues had believed tariff redur'tion
meant a stimulus to trade that would
result In increased revenues to the gov
ernment. Were they now to be told that
revenue reductions would depress
instead of stimulate reveune? (Itepub
Ikton applause.)

At the concluslon of Mr. Platt'r

presented the credentiale oft Senator
John T. Morgan, elected by the Ala
bama legislature for the*Lbrm of six
years. frum March, 1I95.
The resolution of Mr. Illiglgin, call

the ,ffers of medlation by the United

Japan, was then IpasedIl. On motion of
Mr. ('all, the Penlinte took up the refo

a .comamttee to Inquire and report
whether the Loullana and llondurae

and Ih now in operatln Iin iFlorida.

At two o'clock Mr. (Iray stated he
had noldesire to delay conslderation of
the canal bill, but he conslderid the
tariff bills of greater Importance. and
thought the senate should have an "p
portunity to say whether these hills
should be considered. It was the duty
of the senate to meet the challenge Im
plied In these bills. He did not think
discussion of the hills would, oc.aslon
any great delay. He therefore moved
to dlsplace the canal bill with the free
sugar bill. Mr. Morgan stated that
while he favored the sugar bill. he
should be compelled to vote against its
consideration at present, owing to the
fact that he had been placed In charge
iof the Nicaragua canal bill. The bill
as It came from the house, and as it was
amended by the senate finance com
mittee, was then read, after which Mr.
Berry demanded the ayes and nays on
the question of consideration. An
nouncement of the vote showed the de
feat of Mr. Gray's motion-23 to 27. the
vote being as follows: Yeas-Bate,
Berry, Blackburn, Caffery, Cockrell,
Coke .Faulkner, George. Gray, Harris,

Roach and Teller-IT.
Vest then took the floor to move to
take up his resolution for an amend
ment of the senate rules, with a mod
ification Instructing the committee on
rules to report by the 15th Instant. He
asked for the yeas and nays on the mo
tion. The motion was lost. 24 to 37.
Harris said he had voted against the
cloture resolution, first, because the
committee on rules would meet to-mor
row for the purpose of considering the
subject matter of the resolution, and In
view of this he could not see the neces
sity of passing it. As a member of the
committee on rules he announced that
he favored an amendment that would
gWe the mtajority, Up4er a careful and
well prepared rule, power to close de
bate upon appropriation bills as well
as revenue measures, the passage of
Which was absolutely necessary.
The senate then resumed considera
tlion of the Nicaragua canal bill and
Morgan addressed the senate. Morgan
said there could be no more majestic
position assumed by the United States
among the family of nations than to
take up the subject and have the canal
completed. He asked the senators to in
form themselves on the matter so it
could be brought to vote at an early
day. Cullom gave notice that he would
be readv Friday to make some remarks
on the bill.
BRAND TIlE CLAIM AS FALSE
World's Fair Offlicals Expose a Pretender to
an Award.
Chicago, Dec. 12.--One of the odd re
s.lts of the world's fair is the claim
now made to awards by some who were
not even exhibitors. Officials of the ex
position have not as yet taken final ac
tion in the matter, believing the quick
wit of the people will detect the spuri
ous claims. But to the case of a New
York baking powder, that has been
widely advertising an award, the atten
tion of the chief of the awards of agri
culture has been directed. He brands
the claim of this pretender as false.
declaring "Neither the records of this
department nor the official catalogue of
the world's Columbian exposition show
that this New York company was an
exhibitor; consequently it could not re
ceive an award at the world's fair."
Those who fairly won their honors at
the fair seem disposed to treat this
fraud as ally other fraud should he
treated. The P'rice Baking Powder
company, of (hicago, having received
the highest award, say they are con
vinced tlheir ctlams, an111d thIlose of all
other holders of rightful honors, will
be fully vindicated by the public.

"Resolved, That we deplore the In
troduction of any sectarian or cap

Such movements are destined to divide
labor's forces and produce bitter an
tagonisms, as they produce religious
bigotry, provoke rancorous Intolerance
and divert working people from work
ing out their own emancipation from
the galling slavery of present social
and political conditions.
"Resolved. That we reaffirm, as one of
the cardinal principles of trade union

must unite and organize. irreseletive

Crain said to-night that ulnder the terms
of the reward offered for the arrest of
Beeley. It will be paid only after convil

New York dispat'ches this afternoon re
porting his wife prostrat.di and seriously
Ill. He was visibly agitated and eagerly
Inquired for late news from her.
"I cannot send any encouralting word
to her." said he, "but I hope some one will
tell her I am well. There is inothing for
me to say to her, for I am down, the
whole world In against me."
"Did you profit much by the alleged de
fal'ation'?" aked a reporter.
"I c(an't answer that now," he said. "but
I don't look very prosperous, do I?"
The prisoner's agitation over his wife's
illness had made him more talkative, and
he spoke bitterly of McFarland, the man
who aided In his arrest. "I don't want to
say much about McFarland." he said.
"but I c(onsder his giving me away a low
trick. I hope that the $,n(ll reward for
my capture will go to the police instead of
to him."
RBEIGN OF MURDER.
The Jape Relapse Into Barbarism That
Would Shame the Turks.
New York. Dec. 12.-A cable tif the
World from Yokohama nays the Japan
ese trK)oops entered ',ort Arthur, N,,v.
21, and massacred practlcally the entlire
population In cold blood. The- d-efense'
less and unarmed people' were butchutru'd
In their houses and the buodies uiispeak
ably mutilated. There was an unre
strained r'eign of murder, which iint-ll
three days. The whole town was plul
deed, with appalling ntr'cities.
It was the first stain upon Japanetse

lose to recede from the position taken
with regard to American meats until
the discrlminat.on against the beet su
gar Industries of the German empire
is removed. The German commercial
intrigue is fanning a flame of hostility
throughout Eluropel toward American
meats, and the renewal of the old vin
dietvle warfare against American meat
products on the part of the old world
nations is not only threatened, but felt
to be imminent. The American meat
trade with foreign countries approxi
mates $15,000,000 a year, and anything
that threatens Its mighty business ihI
a vital or important way instantly I
touches the pockets of the most power
ful combinations in existence.
"Cattle raisers are in a state of per
petual warfare with the great packlng
combinations, but when in the presence
of a common enemy a community of in
terests is at once formed and a united
front presented. Therefore, cattle rais
era, cattle killers, and meat distributors
are pooling their laterests and prepar
Ing to remove the cause of irritation
that IL disturbing their eablshed
trade.
"The duty on sugar being that cause,
they will bombard the trust. Nelson
Morris. who has been abroad for several
months, brings back a report that the
IpreJudice Kginst Amerlian meats can
easily be removed by a Itpeal of the
