Captain Mac key, of the Pennsylvania football team, wua seen by a reporter to-day and asked as to the stories accusing his men of "roughness" and "brutality," etc. He said that nothiug of the kind had come under his notice, nor did any of the team know of any incidents of the gnrne which justified iu the very smallest degree such accusations.

It would tuke au ogre to bite through a canvas jacket, a sweater and an under shirt. When asked about the treatment bis own men had received ho said they had no complaint to make. He himself had a bud contusion of the eye from a blow of Mr. Murphy's list. Every one on the field saw Hinkey strike Knipe with no provocation from the latter except tliut he hud made a "touchdown." The same player jumped with his knees on Osgood's neck after the latter had called "down."

The Exemption to Be High Enough to Exclude Laboring People—Oilier Changes in Internal Revenue Laws Not Necessary Then —Several Re ciprocity Sections to Bo Wiped Out. WASHINGTON, NOV. 15. A "nue of $50,000,000 is expected by ilu. d .ocrats of the ways and means coiin.. o from the moderate income tax which they pro pose to incorporate in the new revenue bill. The rate of the tux will probably be 2 per cent, and the exemption will be high enough to exclude the great mass of labor ing men and people on small salaries The limit now uuder discussion is from $3,500 to $4,000. A good many statistics have been pre pared by the treasury experts on the in comes of the country and the rates of reveuue obtained under different plans, and it is believed that the 2 per cent, rate will yield a handsome addition to the revenue of the governmt. May Increase the Rates. If the increase in the revenue should prove insufficient after a year or two to meet the demands of the treasury, the rate might be slightly increased, or the limit of exemption lowered. One of the attractions of the income tax to those members of the committee who are udvocating it is that it allows changes in the rate to meet the demands of the treasury without disturbing the industries of the couutry as iu the case of chauges iu the tariff. No Cliungo in Internal Beveuue Laws. If the income tax Is adopted in the form now under consideration, other changes in the internal revenue luws will not be ueeessary. There will be no iucreuse in the beer tax, the whiskey tux, the tux on manufactured tobacco or the tux on cigara. 'J he question of duty on sugar is still an open one, but it is not unlikely that a duty will be imposed of about one cent peb. pound on both raw and reilned sugars. To Abandon the Sugar Bounty. .This will enable the committee to aban don the bounty now paid paid the Louisl ana and Nebraska growers without leav ing them absolutely without protection against foreign competition. It is also desired to strike a blow at the sugar trust by making the duty on refined sugar sub stantially the same as on raw sugar. The reciprocity section, which deuls with sugar, hides, tea and coffee, will probably be stricken from the law, but without necessarily abrogating the exist ing reciprocity arrangements with Ger many, with Spain regarding Cuba and with the South American countries. To Remain Free of Duty. The articles named will remain free of duty from all countries, unless a small tax is imposed on sugar, and it is not be lieved that the couutries now having re ciprocity arrangements will desire to abro gate them because the retaliatory duties against Venezuela, Columbia and Huyti may be abandoned. Coal was on the free list In the original draft of the tariff bill in accordance with the pledge of the democratic national plat form to modify the McKinley law in the direction of free raw materials. Weakening on CoaL The protest from the coal districts of West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Tennessee and Alabama has been so strong, howeVbr, that some of the members of the commit tee are weakening and may vote to re tain a small duty. Chairman Wilson hopes to present the completed bill to the republican membeis of the ways and means committee by the latter part of next week, so that they can have their majority report ready upon the meeting of congress in December. Mr. Wilson's Flans. He is not in favor of a party caucus to pass upon the bill but believes that it should be fairly considered by the house as presented by the committee. This was the course with the Mills bill, and no cauoufeses were held until debate began under the Ave minute rule on the separate schedules. Mr. Wilson believes that the bill will be more symmetrical and con sistent if taken up as it comes from the committee and that general debate iu the house will solve some of the problems which might cause au interminable dis cussion in a party caucus. Damage Suit. Compromised. WILMINUTOX, Del., Nov. 15.— The suit of the Wilmington yacht club against the Windsor steamship company to reoover damages for the sinking of their yacht Siesta iu the Delaware river last summer by the steamer Parthian has been com promised.
