! WILL SHOWBAD BLOOD. Acrimonious Debate In the House Predicted on the Income Tax, APPROPRIATION WILL PASS. 4 Senate Proceeding* Awaiting the Decision of the Steering Committee Appointed In Canou*— Senator Morgan Talk* Today on the Nicaragua Canal Bill--Feature* of the 4iew Japanese Treaty. Washington, Dec. 10.—The second week in the house promises to witness a fierce struggle over the income tax in connection with the appropriation to be incorporated 4n the urgent deficiency bill to provide for the collection of the tax, which begins Jan. 1, 1806. Mr. Sayres, chairman of the appropriations committee, intends to call up the bill tomorrow, after the railroad pooling bill , is disposed of. Mr. Bartle|p of New York is at the head of the opposition to the appropriation and, although the opposition is not considered strong enough' to defeat the appropriation, it is ex--1 pected that the debate will abound with acrimonious references to the late election and that much bad blood will be manifested. The consideration of the income,tax appropriation may conshfno several days. ' Today is District of Columbia day and tomorrow the fate of the railroad pooling bill will be decided. As soon as the urgent deficiency bill, which will follow, is out of the way, it is the intention to bring forward the fortification appropjiation bill. The Nicaragua bill will not be brought up this week. Thursday next the Williams-Settle North Carolina contest will be taken up. There is little doubt that the sitting member, will retain mfTseat. STEERING COMMITTEE. It Is Expected to Soon Decide the Senate’s Order of Business. Washington, Dec. 10.—The week’s programme in the senate will depend largely, if not entirely, upon the decision of the Democratic steering committee with reference to the order in which the bills preferred by the caucus are to be taken up. This point was left entirely to the steering committee, which Seriator Gorman, its chairman, says will probably meet this afternoon. The committee will then or at some subse quent meeting decide whether the ——- ■ Wf Um T WlPl SENATOR MORRILL. Nicaragua canal bill, the bankruptcy bill, the New Mexico and Arizona bills, the Indian Territory bill or the resolution fer the election of senators by the people shall have precedence. It is not supposed by anyone that the proposed currency bill will be given first place, for the reason that no currency bill has yet been formulated. While the committee is undecided, Senator Morgan has improved his opportunity to press the claims of the Nicaragua bill and opened today’s proceedings by calling it up and is making a speech explanatory of the merits of the bill. It is probable that this speech will consume the greater part of the day. For the rest, Senator Morrill, as is his annual custom at the beginning of a congressional session, will give his views on some public question, probably national finances. Senator Hunton of Virginia has also given notice of a speech fer Thursday on the establishment of a national university. It is also considered possible that there will be some executive work, especially if the Japanese treaty should be reported. TREATY WITH JAPAN. Her Coarts arid Laws Recognized and \ Substantial Advantages Gained. Washington, Dec. 10. — The. new treaty with Japan, which is likely to be acted upon soon, concedes to that country recognition as an enlightened, modern nation. All previous treaties have been based on the theory that the relics of eastern barbarism still remained with Japan. Accordingly she was not allowed to conduct her own courts or to make her own tariff laws, but special treaty regulations were made to protect American litigants and American commerce in Japan on the presumption that the native laws would not afford adequate protection. Running throughout the new treaty are the concessions recognizing her courts and laws as ample for Americans as well as natives. This is the chief feature of the treaty. On the other hand, the United States secures many - substantial advantages. Th6 missionaries, who make up such a very large class in Japan, are guaranteed freedom of worship and protection in that worship The main concession, however, is that of Article 11. b.v w*»ch vaparris openea up to American vommerce. Heretofore Americans have been restricted to a few treaty ports of Japan. They could not reside or carry oh business, or even travel in the interior. Now, however, every corner of the country is opened. The Japanese are given a similar right to settle throughout the United States, but care has been taken to provide that their coming must be subject to our alien and immigration laws. — - ; The provision of the treaty that it , dust be ratified -within six months rmJres it incumbent for the senate to act at the session or the treaty . ” v .

will fail. There is every probability, however, that the senate will act promptly. KAILROAD EARNINGS. Interesting Showing From Report* to the Interstate Commerce ConinilMlon. Washington, Dec. 10.—The interstate commerce commission has just issued a preliminary report on the income and expenditures of railways in the United States for the year ending Juno 80, 1894.

The pooling bill came in fer a share and notice was given that the previous question-would be called tomorrow. FOOTBALL BRUTALITY. New York Preacher Says the Game Is Worse Than Ball Fights or Prizefights. .New York, Dec. 10.—Speaking on tine subject of athletics, Rev. Madison C. Peters said last night in his prelude: “Wo go to extremes in everything. We make hard work out of our holidays and we are always glad to get homo after the dissipations of our recreations. The ball game, which a few years ago promised to do so much for the physical manhooAof the overworked, has been speedily degPaded- into a craze, so that the game as now conducted has become the great national nuisance. I am an en-thusiast-for athletics. The gymnasium of today will prevent the dyspepsia of tomorrow, but I protest against smashing noses, breaking fingers or kicking souls out of men’s bodies in the name of athletics. The gladiatorial shows of Rome, the bull fights of Spain and our prizefights are refinement compared with the football brutality of today. - Every sensible man commends a moderate use of games and sports, but have we not gone to extremes in our play? We spend so much time and money on our sports that the question arises— Whither is this tendency leading?” UNDER A TRAIN. Brother and Sister Fatally Crphhed at a Chicago Suburban Depot. Chicago, Dec. 10.—While waiting at the Lyons depot of the Burlington road a party of young people were struck by the suburban train, one young lady be-, ing killed outright, her brother perhaps fatally injured and another brother narrowly escaping. ' Miss Ida SciiuLtz, aged 22, killed outright. ■* Edward Schultz, her brother, internal injuries which will probably result fatally. Another brother, Emil, barely escaped by jumping out of the way bf the moving train. The young people got confused at the depot and m avoiding one train stepped before another. -'"THEY WERE RIVALS. t ■Rejected Suitor Swears Vengeance and Meets Death as a BJsult. Waco, Tex., Dec. 10.—Quite a sensation was caused this afternoon at Little River, a station 10®miles south, by the shooting of Section Foreman James P. Huddleson by Edward P. Via. Via is agent at that point and hails from Salisbury. They were rivals fer the affections of Miss Willie D. Waller of that place. Huddleson was rejected by the young lady and swore vengeance. Increase of German Exports. Berlin, Dec. 10.—Frank H. Mason, consul general of the United States at Frankfort-on-the-Main, reports that the exports to America from his consular district fer October and November were valued at $692,518, an increase of 20 per cent over the value of the goods exported during the corresponding months of 1893. l_ No More Prizefights In Denver. Denver, Dec. 10.—Chief of Police Armstrong has decided to allow no more prizefights in Denver. The pugs who have been giving many so-called exhibitions will be jailed as vagrants if they do not leave town. SPACE SAVERS. Wind and rain storm crippled telegraph and telephone wires in Oregon.

B.—The Times Star, in its account of the theft of $10,500 from Miss Josephine Brand of Lawrenceburg, says: “AM-«awrenceburg, where Miss Brand livesjvhere is no doubt that she was financially able to possess that amount of money, but in view of the fact that she is defendant in a suit now pending in the circuit court to account for a large sum of money alleged to belong to the estate of her deceased father, some doubt is expressed as to the probability of it being taken from her in the manner claimed.” Her friends, however, ifisist that there can be no doubt of the robbery and that only her enemies believe such statements.

Jeffersonville, Ind., Dec. 8. —William Pettitt, aged 24, was shot and killed at Hibernia, a village of this county, by Milas Smith, a 23-year-old merchant of the place.
