to which wus the only door in the school
room.
There were about 20 scholars iu the

O NLY INCIDENTS OP THE QAMr
Football Captain Mackey Does Not
Complalu of Hough Treatment.
PHILADELPHIA, NOV. 15. 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. Ho laughed at the story of
"Butterworth's bite" and said that it
would make a good title for a dime novel
ami had about as much foundation iu fact.
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." McCrea re
peatedly struck Wh rton about the face
and head and pulled off deliberately the
protecting bandages from his swollen and
lull lined ear, although doing so caused ag
onizing pain; but the Peunsylvauia team,
he said, accepted those occurrences as un
pleasant incidents of au exciting game.

THE NEW TfIRIFF BILL
Big Revenues Proposed By
an Income Tax.
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.
