Income Tax Will Bo Discussed in Connection With the Urgency Deficiency IJjll lu the House —The "iearngu»n Canal Bill Will Probably Be Considered •••••in the Senate.

WASHINGTON, Dec." 10.—The second week of the session in the house promises to witness a fierce struggle over the income tax in connection with the appropriation to be incorporated in the urgent deficiency bill to provide for the collection of the tax, which begins Jan. 1, 1895. Mr. Say res, chairman of the appropriation committee, intends to call np the bill on Tuesday, after the railroad bill is disposed of. Mr. Bartlett 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 expected the debate will abound with acromonious references of the late election and that much bad blood will be inn??, fested.

The consideration of the income tax appropriation may consume several days. Today is District of Columbia day and Tuesday the fate oi tue pooling biil will be decided, as Mr. Patterson of Tennessee, in charge of the measure, has given notice that at 3 o'clock he will demand the previous question. The general opinion is that the bill will not pass as reported, but will probably carry when amended so as to give to the interstate commerce commission absolute control of the conditions of railroad pooling and final authority in the matter of revoking pooling orders.

As soon as the urgent deficiency bill, which will fotlow, is out of the way, it is the intention of the appropriation committee to bring forward the fortification bill.

Tho Nicaragua canal bill will be brought up Liii.-i wee*. Thursday next, according to notice already served, Mr. Brown, chairman of the'elections committee, will call up the North Carolina contested election cas', ji \V niiarus "vs. fce'cile. 'inure is littje

mittee with referenco to the.order which the bills preferred by the Democratic caucus are to be taken. This point was left entirely to the steering committee, which at its next meeting will decide whether the Nicaragua canal bill, the bankruptcy bill, the New Mexico and Arizona bills, the Indian Territory bill, or the resolution for the election of senators by the people shall have precedence. It is not supposed by any one that the proposed currency bill will be given first place for the reason that no cnrre»cv bill hi«s yet been formulated. Tlie mends of tho other bills will un-quesf-'oiii pivss theiv respective measures, and it is as yet impossible to say wlncii of the bills mentioned will receive preference.

While me committee is undecided Senator Morgan will be improving his opportunity to jiress the chums of the Nicaragua bill. He-has givn notice of his intention to call the bdl un today and he will open the proceedings oi the day, after the disposal of the morning business, with a speech devoted roan explanation of the merits of the bill.

WANTED THE JOB HIMSELF.

John B. Jersey Confesses to the Murder of .Janitor lluriit'.-s of Cliivago. CHUJAHO, Dec. JO.—John B. Jersey

haB confessed that he, with Ed Jordan, murdered A.D. Barnes, whose mutilated body was found in a French shipping oase last Friday. Both Jersey and Jordan are under arrest, several people having testified to having seen them with the box containing the body. The men were employes of Barnes, and tho motive for the crime is thought to liavo been rivalry between Jordan and Barnes for the chief janitorship of the Hiawatha building, which position the murderer! man held, Jordan being his first as.-»intaut. Jordan has exhibited remarkable coolness throughout, having been the first to identify the body.

Jersey's confession, according to tne police, shows that Jordan alone was responsible for Barnes' dentil. Jersey gaid that Jordan, on the afternoon of the murder, gave him some money, told him to get a few drinks and bo back to work at 8 o'clock that night. When ho reappeared Jordan ordered him io nelp carry out the shipping case, and in doing so some of the blood from the box ran oin. on Jersey's sleeve. Ho asked Jordan what that moant, and the latter told him there was a dead man in the box, and that he (Jersey) had better keep quiet about what he had seen. Badly scared, Jersey kept silent until the terrors of the "sweatbox" wrung this story from him.

STOCKHOLM* Dee. 10.—The 300th anniversary ,ef the birth of G-us-tarns Adolphus, the great Swedish king, whadiedos tbe battle field ofTu'etzen, NOT.- 6, 1682. was celebrated here with a pomp and splendor which made it one of. the greatest festivals ever held in this capital.

The celebrtrtion oommenced Saturday morning, when the public school childrcn gathered in their respective schools and marched to the various state churches, each child carrying a small Swedish flag. Later in the day memorial festivals were held in all the high I colleges, and in the evening there were three celebrations on an immense scale, arranged by the Swedish Patriotic society. In the three of the largest banquet halls in Stockholm speeches were made by men famous in the service of their country, and patriotic music was performed by the various bands of the crack regiments. In addition memorial services were held in some of the churches, I

Yesterday morning patriotic and religious hymns were rung on all the chimes in the city. Regiment bands also played similar music.

In the Riddarholm church, the burial place of Gustavus Adolphus, and other famous Swedish kings, where, usually no divine services are held, services took place at 11 o'clock in the morning, and were attended by King Oscar, the royal princes, the representatives of the German emperor and other deputations

from Germany, the diplomatic corps, the aldermen of Stockholm and numerous delegations.

All the buildings in the vicinity of the royal castle and Gustavus Adolphus square were illuminated. The scene I was a magnificent one, the blue waters of Lake Maelar and the BUI..c reflecting the innumerable illuminations.

The statue of Azel Oxentierna, the great chancellor of Gustavus adolphus, who conducted the 30 years war after the king was dead, was most gorgeously illuminated. The cost of this work was borne b3T the Spanish uobility.

A few hours later another torchlight procession, made up of the various clubs and societies of the capital, marched through the streets to the royal

castle, where a choir, consisting of L50 voices, sang patriotic airs. Still later in the evening King Oscar gave a banquet at the castle, to which about 100 persons wore invited.

TURKISH OUTRAGES IN ARMENIA.

Xlie saltan .Fears au lii-.iepcndout Report to Our (jiiveriuuent. •». Los»ON, Dec. 10.—A cispatch to The Standard from Constantinople says I.hat: tho sultan has not ..acquiesced in TO" mission oi Consul Milo JEWET-t, who was selected by President Cleveland to mojiire into and REP. VT upon tne Turkish outrages in Armenia. Tho dispatch adds that the sultan APPEARS to fear the eil'ect of an independent report to the Washington government.

1

Sir Philip Currie, the British ambassador to Turkey, is in very active communication with the porte and the foreign embassies. It is believed with good reason that he is pressing the porte to I accwpt some measure that will satisfy I the outraged public opinion of Europe. I Tho porte is completely alive to the gravity of the situation and seems to I tear either a collective note from the powers or an agreement between Russia

and Great Britain for a Russian occupation of Armenia. 1? uad Pasha, the beaver of Turkish orders for the oaar and czarina, has several timeB got as far as the railway station, but he has not yet actually started for his destination. It is doubted whether the czar will consent to receive him.

Altogether there is need of much diplomatic skill to extricate Tin-key from the difficulty in which she finds herself.

The arrest of Armenians continues. A meeting of 3,000 Armenians was held in Varna Sunday to protest against the atrocities. A deputation from the meeting, followed by a crowd of people, visited the foreign consuls and appealed to them to ask their governments to execute Article 01 of the Berlin treaty. The meeting sent a telegram to the Catholics of Etchmiadzen begging them implore the czar's clemency in behalf of their persecuted brethren.

No Hopo For Armenian Prisoners. VIENNA, ^co. 10.—Trustworthy Con­

stantinople advices received here show that the Turkish minister of justice has invited Hymayak, locum tenens of tho Armenian patriarchate, to petition tiie sultan to pardon 838 Armenians who aro lying untried in provincial prisons. No reply h"S been received to the invitation yet, and it is likely to be declined, as, in seeking the pardon of the prisoners, it would be necessary to describe them a» rebels. ..

TREATY WITH WIS

How the New One Differs From All Previous Ones.,

TEE BENEFITS TO BE DERIVED.

Japan Is llecognized a* an Enlightened Modern Nation of the First CISIM For the First Time by the United States

Government But Little Donbt but Wiuti XL Will lie Ratified. WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.—By the new

treaty between the United States and Japan the United States formally recognizes Japan for the fipst time as a first class power in the sisterhood of nations.

The treaty shows fully the United States has accorded to Japan the recognition she has now 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 concesaions recognizing her courts and laws as ample for Americans as well as natives. This is the chief feature of the treaty. The old consular courts, in which United States consuls tried cases at Japanese treaty ports, are abandoned. Instead of them all cases, civil and criminal, in which an American is concerned, will be tried by the native courts.

The right of Japan to make her own tariff laws is also recognized. Heretofore the United States lias been free to make such tariff laws as she saw fit affecting Japan, but the latter was forbidden by treaty from fixing duties above 5 per cent ad valorem. The protocol of the new treaty recognizes the general statutory laws of Japan concerning the tariff, and Articles 4 and 5 give her for the first time the "favored nation clause," by which she is guarantaed against any higher duties than those the United States imposes on other countries. The abolition of the foreign settlements, and tlvir absorption by the native cantons of Japan, is another recognition of her advanced municipal organizations.

On the ether hand, the United States secures manv substantial dvautage-. Tiie 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 2, by which Japan is opened up to American commerce. Heretofore Americans have been restricted to a few treaty ports of Japan. They could not reside or carry on business, or even travel in the interior. Now, however, every corner of the country is opened to Americans. They can establish business and manufactures, lease lands, etc. It is the opening of the heart of Japan, hitherto inaccessible to American enterprise and commerce. In giving the Japanese a similar right to settle throughout the United Stales, care has been taken to provide that their coming must be subject to our alien labor and immigration laws.

The provision of tho treaty that it must be rati'ied wit'.iiu KIX months makes it incumbent for the senate to act on it at tho present session, or the treaty will fail. There is every probability, however, that the senate will act promptly.

Minister Kurino has forwarded a copy of the treaty to his government, where it will be considered and ratmcd by tho privy council ol: Japan.

RI_MOST A LYNCHING.

A Cosifessod lUurderer Narrowly Kscapes a Mob's Jb'ury. RICHMOND, Ky., Dec. 10.—David

Dory was assassinated at his farm near Ibis city on Friday. Saturday night J. H. Neighbors of Elizabeth town arrived in Richmond with two English bloodhounds, and they wero immediately taken to the place where the crimo was comniirteri. Once on the trail, they went to the calun of Abraham, Tom and l!:il Taylor, a half mile distant, then trailed back to the place of the kijltm thence to the cabin uiraiu.

This was fair evidence and the chase was abandoned, the authorities believing the piviper parties had been arrested. They were right their belief, for yesterday Bill Taylor, the youngest of tho brothers, all of whom aro in jail, confessed. saying he was in Doty's stable attempting to slip one of his mules when the latter came upon him. Asked to itive the reins to him, he fired and struck Doty in the stomach. He fell, but arose. Taylor shot again, laying the farmer low once more. To make sure, he grabbed him by the collar, luted him up and put two bu-llets through his head. He then escaped.

Taylor's confession was sufficient fo. Squiro Doty's friends, and they came here iu large numbers from Madison and Garrard couuties to swing lilui up. Excitement ran high, but the lynching was finally postponed, by reason of a promise by Judge Scott to give Taylor a trial at once in the circuit court now in session. Taylor will be indicted today and his trial follow immediately. This scorns to satisfy the friends of the murdered man.

Unknown Mun Illllrd In New Orlf NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 10.—A telegraph

wire parted last night and fell on a trolly wire, just as a geutleman was crossing Canal street, the main thoroughfare of the city. The wire caught him by the throat and roasted him to death, people fearing to attempt a rescue. The victim was evidently a man of easy circumstances, but has not yet been identified.
