THE INCOME TAX PART WILL WIN There Is a Growing Belief That This Populistic Feature of the Measure, Although Odious t Many Demo crats, Will Be Forced Through Under the Crack of the Party Whip. Some of the Modifications That Have Been Made in the Various Schedules Hawaiian Topics to Oc cupy the Senate's Time. Washington, Jan. 28. THERE will now h a OMMtloo for a time of tariff talk in tba housa anil the members will addre themselves for three days this week to tbe mysteries and perplexities ami pros And cons of the income tax The McMillin bill upon this subject re ported to the bouse from the commit tee on ways and means last Wednes day will be submitted tomorrow as an amendment to the Wiliou custom bill so as to unite in one measure all tho schemes for raising reveuue aaide from tbe sales of bonds. Tho general debate on this proposi tion will occupy Monday and Tuesday with night sessions, and on Wednesday the bill will be considered under the five minute rnle for amendments. The general debate will be opened by Mr. McMillin, of Tennessee, the author of the measure. Some of the leaders of the house who have taken little or no part in the tariff debate will doubtless be heard on this proposition. Mr. Pence, tbe Democratic Populist of Colorado, will propose to .mi n I the bill by the adoption of a graduated tax on incomes, runnir.g from 8 to 10 per cent and which he believes will pro duce over a hundred millions iustead of thirty millions, tbe estmuto of tbe pending bill. TO UK REPORTED THURSDAY. After the vote shall have been taken in committee of the whole on Wednes day afternoon on making the income md whiskey tax scheme a part of the Wilson bill the lnttor will bo ready to report on Thursday to the house for ratification. Before tbe final vote is taken, however, Mr. Reed, Mr. Wilson and Mr. Crisp will address tba bouieoa ",he general subject of tariff and rev inue, their text being the perfected bill. It is likely that a vote will not be reached until lato on Thursday, and possibly not before Friday. The Wilson bill has considerably changed since it was reported to the house several weeks ago and not alw.iyi in accordance with the desires of the committee on ways and nutans, Two or three of tbe defeats the committee have sustained have been notable, but they retrieved one of them yesterday in re-establishing the time when the free wool and manufactured wool schedules should go into effect. The house in committee, of the whole have decided Jin favor of Representative Tom L. Johnson's motion to h ive both go into operation on the day of the ap proval of tbe bill. Yesterday the wars und means committee got the dates re stored as proposed by them free wool Aug, 1, 1894, and manufactured wool Dec. 1, 1894. SUUAR ON THE KRKE LIST. Another defeat from which the committee did not recover re sulted in placing all sugars, raw and refined, on the free list Hnd abolishing the bounty at once. This was the most important incident In the consideration of the bill. All at tempts to take iron ore, coal and lum ber from tbe free list were unsuccess ful. Among the more important changes effected in the text of the bill as re ported were the following: Reducing the duty on pig iron and manufactured iron in sixteen paragraphs 5 per caut. generally, and increasing the duty on naile and screws 5 per cent. ; putting plows, rakes, disc and tooth harrows, threshers, cotton gins aaB (arresters on the free list (over the committee's ob jection), and striking out the recipro city clause from the petroleum para graph. WORK IN THE SENATE. The senate will probably wind up the election law debate this week as far as the Republicans are roncerned. Hawaiian relations are still an open question in the senate. The resolution reported from the committee on for eign relations declaratory of the sense of the congress in the matter is still pending. Notwithstanding the fact that the report was almost unani mous, it appears that some of the Republican senators follow ing in the lead of Mr. Allison, find the first section, declaring against annexation at the present time, objeo tionable to them. So it may be that the resolution, which at first promised o pass speedily, will continue to occupy the attention of the senate for some time, and particularly is tnis probable if an issue is raised by tbe moving of the Dolph amendment, requesting the recall of Mr. Willis, or by Mr. Vest's insistence upon hi amendment materi ally Humifying the language of the section touching annexation. DOLE'S CHARGES AGAINST WILLIS. More Hawaiian Correspondence May Be Sent to Cong-rssa. Washington, Jan. 28 The mail from Honolulu, by the Monowai, which arrived in Han Francisco a week ago Thuraday, was received in the city yes day.

Jan. 28 The Protective Tariff leagu- has prepared a protest against the Wilson tariff bill, which is addressed to congress and will be sent to that body at once. Tne league sets forth its several objections to the bill as follows: tiecause it will reduce wnges: because it will give employment to foreigners: be cause it violently strikes at the protective system; because it is folly to suppose we can buy from foreigu countries and still give our own people more employment and better wages: becanse it will be time enough to capture the markets of the world wheu we are assured of our own. The passage of the bill, the ieague protest declares, will increase ami make more permanent the present evil, will lower the standard of living, and will rob the American producer of the American markets.

Count Herbert Bismarck to Get a Fat Diplomatic Position. London, Jan. 28 S rJlIE Hamburg correspondent of tho Central News says that Em U peror William intends to visit Prince Hismarck at Friedrichsruhe this week. The. visit, however, may be de ferred until the prince's birthday, in April BERLIN, Jan. 28 - As more details of Prince Bismarck's short sojourn in Berlin are ascertained, it becomes plainer that the reconciliation was di vested carefully of political import Certain newspapers persist in enlarg ing on the probable political results of his reported conferences with Emperor William aud Chancellor Von I'anriyi. but such a course is not warranted by the lacts. It Is kuown positively that Bis marck s private conversation with the emperor lasted but ten minutes and that l iprivi did not talk with bun at all. The report that the old and new chancellor had a conference arose from a caso of mistaken identity. Adjutant tieneral t ount on Lehndortf, who resembles the chancellor, called npon the prince and was supposed by several newspaper men to be tho chancellor hiuisslf. The prince did not desire to talk politics with either tne emperor or tue chancellor and refrained carefully dnriDg bis reception at the royal pal ace irom an allusions to public ntiaus THE KECUNCILI.-.TION COMPLETE, Bismarck's visit in Berlin gave him unmixed pleasure. Nothing occurred to jar his feeling. Dr. Schweninger savs that the -visit had tho best eff ct o:i the health of the prince who on tho night ot bis return to rreldriohsrhne enjoyed an exceptionally long and pro- round sleep. Uiunt Herbert Bismarck who went back to r reidrichsruhe with bis father, returned to Berlin the same night as the emperor had expressed a wish to see him at the birthday recep tion on Saturday. Yesterday he was at court. In the diplomatic circle it is now accepted as probable that count Herbert will be appointed ambassador to Austria-Hungary in the room of Prince Reuss, who has resigned. Austria-Hungarian politicians would hail his coining as a happy outcome of the reconciliation, signifying the ces sation of Prince Biamark's efforts to discredit Austria-Hungary as an efficient ally of Germany.

Franz Josef Stepig, the rioter who was shot during the battle at the Bead ling mines yesterday, is dead. He died about noon in the Slavic tenement house where he was carried and left by bis comrades. His sufferings were ter rible until a few minutes before his death. For some reason or other he hnd no medical attendance. It is said unsuccessful attempts were made to secure the services of doctors at Mans field. Woodvillo and BriJueville. be canse, it is alleged, the physicians were afraid to visit the terrorized district. Before he expired be made a confes sion to Gsorge Martenfck, a fellow countryman, who was present. He s lid he bad been intimidated into join ing the ranks of the rioters. He had been visited by some of the lawless leaders, aud uot only pursuaded but oommauded to join them. Terrible threats were made. Finally through fear of his life he con sented to their wishes. He was among the number who undertook the Beadliug assault, and was In the front of the line pushing forward when shot down. During his last hours he spoke repeatedly of his family, consist ing of a wife and child. Ihey live at Tom's Hun, on property owned by them. Stepig was an Austrian by birth and was a naturalized citizen, having resided iu this cou utry for six years. was HE SHOT BY his COMRADES 1 There is a startling rumor regarding Stepig'e death. It is disputed by Boine that he was the victim of a bullet from one of the Beadliug rifles. The course of the bullet, which passed sideways through his body, is the basis for this theory. It is alleged that the bullet could not have taken this course had it come from the mine protectors who wore stationed directly in front of the horde This fact has -given rise to the su Bplcion that the bullet was fired from the ranks of tbe rioters. Two motives are assigned for the deed. One, that he fell a victim to the jealousy of a fel low Austrian, the other, that he was branded as a traitor orubout to become one on account of his eagerness to be in tho front of the line The testimony of Matornick, who lives at tSisen, near the scene of the tragedy, and who watched over Stepig until he died, is proof that tho man entered the ranks of the horde contrary to his own wishes, acd on account of which he aroused a spirit of hatred ou the part of his riotous comrades. All doubts concerning the alleged suspicions of foul play will be settled at the inquest next Thursday. e JOHNSON BREAKING RECORDS. Champion Skater of Amiica Lowera MUe Record to in.. 5.
