strike out the bounty provision of the Wilson Mil and insert, "all sugars shall jsay a duty upon their polariscopic tent us follows: All susrars testing by the polarisoope not above 7i decrees. 1 cent per iunl duty, and for every additional deprw or fraction, of a decree 3-lt or 1 cent per jound additional, and all sugars above 1 Dutch standard an additional duty of -20 of one per cent, per pound, provided that all suirara when exported from a country which pays a bounty on sugar shall pay in addition to thee rates a duty filial to the bounty paid by such country." Mr. Robertson explained that the proposition contained In this amendment was not to be ottered unless the bounty pro-visions were voted down, lie warned the Democrats that the rejection of a duty on sugar meant an individual income tax. Mr. Washington urged a 1-cent tax for revenue, cn tne ground that it was the most effective means of raising the revenue iir. Ilarter urged that his substitute Bhould be adopted as a mcaru of raisin? lovenue. as the treasury was hanging by Its eyelids." The substitute would do away with the bounty and would save P.Oon.O") annually. It would produce $:r,000.000 in revenue, or a net gain to the treasury of lo,WO.OuO. He vigorously opposed the Income tax. which was the necessary alternative or l duty on surar. BLOW AT THE SUGAR TRUST. Mr. Warner offered an amendment to Mr. Robertson's substitute to place refined eugar absolutely on th2 free list. The object of this amendment, said he, was to remove the last remnant of protection which the pending bill proposed to leave for the benefit of the Sugar Trust of New York city. Mr. Simpson declared that the free sugar given by the McKlnley law furnished the best example of what a removal of the onerous protective duties do for the consumer. Mr. Blanchard spoke in support of the duty on sugar. 4 tt . Mr. Halner advocated the retention of the present bounty, and Mr. Boatner, in concluding the debate for the sugar men. insisted that the traditions of the Demo cratic party should be adhered to and a revenue duty should be placed on sugar. Had Louisiana imagined, he said, that her great industry was to be stricken down, her vote would not have been given to Cleveland at the last election. Mr. "Wilson concluded the debate In advocacy of the bounty provision of the pending Mil- . " The voting began at 4:20. after a great deal of wrangling as to the manner In which the amendments should be voted on. It being decided by the chairman that he would permit four amendments to be pending to each of the paragraphs, ISO and 181. the first relating to the bounty on sugar and the latter to the duty on reiined sugar. The first vote was taken on Mr. Meiklelohn's amendment to substitute for Mr. Mediae's amendment to abolish the sugar bounty the provisions of the McKlnley law relating to the bounty. This was defeated without division by a strict party vote. The vote then recurred on an amendment offered by Mr. Price to amend Mr. Harter's substitute placing a duty of 1 cent per pound on sugar below 15 Dutch standard and abolishing the sugar bounty by inserting the provision of the Mills bill which levied a duty on sugar not above 13 Dutch standard of 1 1-13 cent per pound, above 16 Dutch standard 2 20-IOm cents per pound, and above 20 Dutch standard 2 80-100 cents per pound. This amendment had the support of quite a number of Democrats, Including Its author, Mr. Bailey. Mr. Hooker and the members of the Louisiana delegation. The remainder of the Democrats voted against it. For the first time the Re-, publicans showed their hand, declining to vote at all on the proposition, which was defeated 19 to 149. The next vote was on Mr. Harter's substitute, which was lost without a division. This made the vote recur on Mr. McRae's original proposition to abolish altogether the bounty provisions of the Wilson bill. Quite a rfumber of the Republicans, Including Messrs. Cannon, Hopkins, Dalzell and Funk, voted with the radical Democrats against the members of the committee for this proposition. Some of them were Springer, Riley, Oates, Brown, Johnson of Ohio, Culberson, Warner, Lay ton, Washington, Caruth, Wise, Stone, Everett, Bailey, McGuire, Hare, Ritchie, Geary, Harter, Sayers. Goldzier and Cummings, and it was carried by an overwhelming majority 135 to 69. This action abolishes the bounty on sugar. The vote was then taken on the amendments to Section 1S1, providing for a duty on refined sugars. Mr. Robertson's amendment providing for a duty of from 1-10 cent per pound on sugars testing by the polarisicopo not above seventy-five degrees, was offered as the first amendment. To this Mr. Warner offered the amendment to place refined sugar, dutiable in the bill at cent per pound, on the free list, and, after quite a lengthy parliamentary discussion as to the status of pending amendments, it being claimed by the Louisiana members that a misunderstanding existed owing to a ruling of the Chair, by unanimous consent Mr. Breckenridge, of Kentucky, was allowed to offer a substitute for these two amendments, placing a uniform duty of 1 cent per pound iron all sugars below sixteen Duth standard. REFINED SUGAR FREE. The vote was first taken on Mr. Warner's amendment to the amendment to abolish the duty on refined sugar, and again the radical Democrats scored another victory, the Republicans declining to voto. By a vote of 137 to 12 the duty on refined sugar was abolished. Among those who voted for it were Messrs. Johnson of Ohio, Coleman, Heard, Springer, Lockwood, Mutchner, McGuire, Abbott, Martin, Bland and Simpson, while the Louisiana delegation, the members of the ways and means committee, generally, Messrs. Piatt, Wise and Cummings voted against it. The substitute of Mr. Breckinridge, which was voted on next, was defeated by a vote of 144 to 67. The Democratic supporters of the Breckinridge amendment were unable to secure enough followers to order tellers. At this junctuie, amid great confusion, the time came to take the final vote on Mr. Robertson's amendment, as amended by Mr. Warner's amendment. A great deal of misunderstanding existed on the floor as to what the effect of the adoption of the amended proposition would mean. The Republicans were hilariously joyful at the tangle into which they had gotten the Democrats. Mr. Payne shouting out that if the pending proposition was adopted it would have the very incongruous effect of placing raw sugar on the dutiable list and refined sugar on the free list. Mr. Richardson, who was in the chair, was appealed to in vain to state the effect of the adoption of the pending amendment. So much misunderstanding existed, even among some of the most skillful parliamentarians on both sides, that Mr. Wilson finally decided, amid great confusion, to move that the committee rise in order to give everybody an opportunity to examine, over night, into the parliamentary situation, and. accordingly, at 5:40, the committee rose and the House took a recess until 8 o'clock. At the night session the following members spoke: Brookshlre, McCrearv, GoldIzer, Broderick, llilbert and Avery. TUB INCOME TAX.

Bynnm Svinren mi Important Change In the Corporation Clause. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WASHINGTON, Jan. 22. Representative Bynum, at a lengthy meeting of the Democratic membership of the way3 and means committee to-day, submitted an amendment to the Income tax measure which was accepted and which more clearly defines the taxes which corporations shall pay. The bill, as originally agreed upon, simply providied that corporations should pay 2 per cent, on their net incomes. The Bynum amendment, defining the meaning of net Incomes, provides that incomes shall be all receipts above legitimate running expenses, the wages of employes and repairs. Mr. Bynum stated, in presenting his amendment, that if some provision of this character was not made, a great many corporations would so manage their affairs as to have no net incomes upon which they would have to pay taxes; that railroad companies would put their profits In new line3 or tho purchase of additional ones and manufacturing establishments would construct additions. Invest their earnings and make such distributions as would evade the law. Under the llynum amendment net incomes for tax purposes will mean all revenues received by corporations after deducting the ordinary expenses and making seasonable repairs. There is left no loophole now by which corporations can evade this inquisitorial law and escape taxs. if they make any profit whatever above ll.ocu annually. SENATE PROCEEDINGS. The Civil Service Law nml the Bond Iftftne 1Icum.mm1. WASHINGTON. Jan. 22. The civil service law again came in for its quota of criticism In the Senate to-day. and, later in the esslon. Senator Peffer, the Populist Senator of Kansas, in a long argument pought to show that he proposition of the Secretary of the Treasury to issue, United States bonds Is directly without authority in lav.-. While petitions were being presented this Horning. Senator Sherman tcok occasion to refer to the l!ag incident which recently Itlrred up Ohio people, cnl said that he hoptd the flags would be kept Hying over hj (itultal nil th t i uu v. .!! uh vnn

Congress and the Supreme Court were in session. , , A bill to codify and arrange in order all ths pension laws v:zs presented by Senator Palmer. Senator Lodge presented a resolution directing the Clvil-servic Commission to reIort to the Sen at? the number and character of cases which it has considered since March 4. 1SS3, in which it is alleged that the civil service regulations have b?en violated by the heads of departments or bureaus, or by any oltle?rs of the United States whore appointment is subject to the confirmation o? the Senate. He asked its immediate consideration, but Senator Berry oMCi!. and It went ever. Senator Call's resolution directing the civil-service committee to inquire into the condition of the civil service of the United States and the expediency of Its retrenchment or increase came up for consideration, ami Senator Berry presented an amendment directing the committee also to report "the number of persons employed in the classified sex-vice from each State and Territory and, so far as they can ascertain, the number belonging to each political party, and whether the public service would be benefited by the reIeal of the civil-service law. Objection was made to the amendment by Senator Wolcott- "Men change their politics," said he. "There are men who six months ago had certain political views, but have radically changed them since that time. Officeholders, too, are very apt to change their politics with every incoming administration. The members of each political party always find the most fault with the law when the party to which it belongs is in power." Senator Cockrell suggested that the amendment be changed to a mere request that the dates of appointment be reiorted. In a brief speech Senator Harris (Dem., Tenn.) declared his unalterable opposition to the civil-service law. Senator Walcott accepted Senator Cockrell's substitute for his amendment, and, on roll call, it was adopted by a vote of 33 yeas to 12 nays. The original resolution as amended was then adopted. The credentials of Senator-elect Thomas Martin, of Virginia, whose term of ollice begins March 4, li&5, were presented by Senator Daniel. The resolution of Senator Peffer questioning the authority of the President and Secretary of the Treasury to issue bonds then came up. Senator Peffer said that if it can be true that the Secretary of the Treasury, in co-operation with the President, is making a new law It is a violation of the Constitution of the United States. The report published by the Secretary of the Treasury does not show or intimate that the redemption fund is not sutlicient to redeem United States notes outstanding. At the conclusion of Senator Peffer 3 remarks the discussion quite naturally reverted to the silver question, in which Senators Allison. Teller, Gorman and others all took a part. The resolution went over to a future date, when Senator Stewart will make some remarks on the subject. On motion of Senator Gorman the Senate went into executive session and at 4:30 adjourned. Blow nt the Petroleum Interest. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WASHINGTON, Jan. 22. The Democratic members of the ways and means committer have concluded to abandon their reciprocity feature In connection vith the placing of petroleum on the free list. It will be recalled that the committee finally determined to make petroleum free only from countries giving the United States a commercial equivalent by reciprocity. It has been concluded that petroleum could not come In free under such a reciprocal arrangement, as no country producing It would take our goods in exchange for their petroleum, and if it would the tariff laws of petroleum producing countries are such as would forbid the reprocity without a special act, and, therefor?, it would be useless to propose reciprocity with any country on a petroleum basis. The great oil fields of Ohio and Indiana are to b? thus thrown Into direct competition wltri Russia and other oil producing countries without any restriction. TELEGRAPHIC BREVITIES.

Lawrence Thompson, an eleven-year-old lad at Bentonville, nine miles north of thl3 city, fatally shot himself Saturday night with a revolver. He had been suffering from the grip, and it is supposed that the wound was made either by the accidental discharge of the weapon while he was groping in a cupboard for medicine or was unconsciously dontf.vhile asleep. He was a somnambulist, and his death can be better accounted for In this manner than in any other, as he had no cause for suicide.

THE SERVIAN CEISIS Young King Alexander Still Fight imr His Opponents. His Efforts to Keorffanize the Cabinet Hilan at Belgrade Socialist Speaker Arrested at Berlin. , LONDON, Jan. 22. An investigation into the report that King Alexander of Servia had been murdered shows the story to be unfounded in fact. The young King is alive and enjoying his usual good health. To-day he summoned MM. Cruics and Kotlcs, to whom he stated that he desired to retain the Radicals in office if they consented to eliminate the anti-dynastic element from the ranks and abandon the impeachment of the Avakumovics Cabinet. The Radicals refused to comply and left the King's presence. It is reported that Queen Natalie will arrive in Belgrade on Wednesday and that she will sustain both the King and the exXing in their desire that the Impeachment of the late Cabinet shall be abandoned. M. Ribarac yesterday, for the first time since the coup d'etat hi April, expressed a wish for reconciliation and agreed to let the past be forgotten. A dispatch from Vienna to the Standard says that late on Friday night King Alexander telegraphed to M. Simitzsch, Servian minister to Austria, Instructing him to meet ex-King Milan and to accompany him to Belgrade. This shows, says the dispatch, that the young King selected his new Premier at the same time that he made military preparations to carry out his will. These preparations were not less complete than those Alexander made lor his coup d'etat in April. Nothing was forirotten, although this time he had not Dr. Bokitch to help him. The same colonel of artillery, Mllanovitch, who was the chief agent in that affair was again intrusted by the King without consulting his Cabinet with the Supreme Commissioner of the Belgrade garrison and the officers of all the provincial garrisons to disregard all orders from the Minister of War. Having succeeded thus far King Alexander proceeded to the second act of the drama. He gave a series of audiences, beginning at midnight, his favorite hour, and lasting until 2 o'clock in the morning to the political leader. A private telegram from Belgrade says that Alexander Intends to make a tour abroad, leaving his father as Regent. "I have it on the best authority," says the Standard's correspondent, "that this present coup has been in no way fomented or countenanced by Russia or any other foreign power." I1EULLVS UNEMPLOYED. ProtestM Against Police Interference An Incendiary Orator Arrentetl. BERLIN, Jan. 22. Five meetings of the unemployed, called as a result of the police outrages upon the people who attended a meeting of the unemployed on Thursday morning last, took place to-day in five of the electoral districts. Heir Llbknocht spoke at EiskJller and urged the workmen to secure a reduction of the number of hours in a day's work. Herr Libknecht also said that he was opposed to emigration, declaring that there was plenty of work In Germany. The speaker referred to the conduct of the police at Llep's brewery and urged his hearers not to show themselves to be incited to disorder by the police. Dr. Gunplowelz, an Austro-Pollsh Hebrew, who was to have spoken at Liep's brewery, followed with an Incendiary speech, combating one of Herr Libknecht's proposals regarding state intervention to cope with the question of the unemployed, and declaring that the state was comiosed of a gang of exploiters. At this stage of the meeting a police officer sprang to the side of Dr. Gunplowelz and promptly placed him under arrest, hustling the speaker out of the hall amid a scene of considerable uproar. When order was restored a young woman made an energetic speech, during the course of which she urged that the employment of soldiers at the theaters be abolished, claiming that they deprived the poor of a living and that the piace of tne soldiers was in the barracks. (Loud cheers.) Resolutions were then passed in favor of restricting the hours of labor and excluding the Anzeiger, a local newspaper, from the clubs, owing to Its assertion that the intervention of the police at Llep's brewery was due to the disorderly conduct of the crowds which had assembled there. The meeting finally dispersed with cheers for socialism. In the Reichstag, to-day. Dr. Von Boetlicher. Secretary of the Interior, replying to questions put by Socialist members in regard to the distress prevailing, declared that this distress only existed in certain industries, and that it was not keen or widespread enough to compel the government to adopt measures for the relief of those suffering from business depression. Wages generally, continued Dr. Von Boottlcher, had an upward tendency, and the condition of working people was improved. The deposits in the savings banks, he said, increased. Replying to other questions Dr. Von Boetticher said that no complaints had been made regarding the conduct of the police at the recent meeting of the unemployed which assembled at Llep's brewery, but which was dispersed owing to the fact that the organizers of the meeting did not produce the permit authorizing the meeting to be held. ALMOST A PANIC. India' Financial Condition Beginning; to Exclie Alarm. LONDON, Jan. 22. A dispatch to the Times from Calcutta says that there was another very heavy fall in the exchange to-day, the condition of the money market being almost one of panic. It Is feared that Secretary of State Kimberly may accept any rate which is offered at the next sale of the council bills. The state of balances of the presidency banks makes it practically certain that Secretary Kimberly can command fair rates if he only holds out for a week or so longer, but the fear that hs may surrender is crippling all business. The Englishman says, regarding the announcement, that Secretary' Kimberly does not propose to maintain the minimum rate for council bills produced something like consternation, and it Is difficult to believe that anything good can emanate from his policy while the other papers denounce it. A dispatch to the Times from Hong Kong says that the br;ak-down of the Indian government in attempting to maintain a fictitious rate of exchange, while leaving the future as uncertain as before, has had thD wor3t possible effect. Business in Shanghai and Hong Kong Is paralyzed. $11 shtcd by the Kaiser. BERLIN, Jan. 22. After a year's absence Herbert Bismarck to-day attended the annual festival of the distribution of orders. Emperor William did not notice him, although he spoke to many others. When the dinner was over and the Emperor aror.e to address the guests individually, Herbert Bismarck was placed at a point in the half-circle where the Emperor was to pass. Before he came to Herbert's place the Emepror turned purposely and avoided him. When he approached the second time Herbert bowed. The Emperor nodded in return, but did not speak.

Miss Margot is generally credited with being the founder of the society called "The Souls," which flourished in the West End of London, and to which Mrs. Henry White, wife of the former secretary of the United States embassy, belonged.

A gentleman In this city tells & romantic little story about how Eugene Sandow, the strong man, met Miss Blanche Brooks, the young lady to whom it was recently announced he is engaged to be married. While Sandow was performing at the Crystal Palace, in London, a couple of years ago, the platform on which he was supporting horses on his breast broke, and It was only his presence of mind that saved him from being crushed to death. As it was he escape! unhurt and crowds of people pushed forward to shake hands with him and congratulate him. In the midst of this excitement a lady, who was sitting in a box, threw him a bunch of violets. A few months later a runaway truck horse came near rushing Into a coupe occupied by a lady. Sandow, who chanced to be passing, saw the danger, and by his great strength succefded in diverting the course of the runaway horse, and so saved the life of the young lady. She proved to be the same who had thrown him the bunch of violets, and Sandow now learned that her name was Miss Blanche Brooks. They subsequently became engaged, and expect to be married this summer. Heavenly Innocence, New York Sun. There is a Jersey clergyman who wears the whitest roso. He lives in We3tfleld, which will be a hundred years old this month. Controversy arose as to whether there should be wine at the celebration ainner. Finally this clergyman proposed that only applejack should be served, a proposal received with acclaim by the wets and horror by the drys. Astonished at the tempest, the good man explained that he had supposed applejack to be a slang synonym for sweet cider. Can there be such heavenly innocence in New Jersey? Nobody shall prevent us from believing so. H M M I---The Coming: Man. Kansas City Journal. Pleasanton, Kan., has elected a woman mayor. Several small Kansas towns have within the past three or four ye-ars chosen women for mayors, and there is no recorded instance of any of them having had cause to regret It In a short time the Kansas women will be full-fledged voters, clothed with the complete regalia of citizenship, and then we shall have feminine mayors in some of the larger towns, as well as women county clerks, treasurers, recorders, etc The Kansas woman is the coming man. so to speak. n Celebrated It. Atlanta Constttotion. "What did Brown get for that last rnaga zine article of his?" "Thirty days." AMUSEMENTS. Grand "The Girl I Left Behind Me." After all that has been written and said about David Belasco and Franklin Fyle's new play, "The Girl I Left Behind Me." there was not a little curiosity to see it, yet the audience at the Grand last night lacked considerable of filling the house. In addition to being styled the "best American play ever written," the drama had a run of SCO nights at the Empire Theater, in New York, to give it a send-off. With all this, the piece did not receive" the favorable comment that its history should warrant. It is a story of regular army life in th9 Northwest with a wUd Indian flavor and any number of intensely thrilling situations, most of which take place only by suggestion of the stage. Until the last act the comedy, which appears much out of place, devolves on a young doctor, who has little excuse for being in the play at all, and a hoydenish young woman, arbitrarUy yclept a "product of the Northwest." The scene is laid among the Blackfeet Indians, in northwestern Montana, and the tragic features arise from the fact that the soldiers have attempted to interfere with the annual sun dance of the redskins who retaliate by attacking Kennlon post. They are about to massacre the little garrison with General Kennlon and several women when succor arrives in time to drive off the American denizens. Harry G. Carleton, dressed as Chief John Ladru "Scar Brow," an educated Indian, creates a sensation in the first act on entering with his two redskin, companions to make a complaint to the General. He has an affecting meeting wdth his daughter. Fawn Afraid, a wild child of the forest cleverly impersonated by Violet Rand. She is the famed Pocahontas, of whom we have all heard, In a new guise; appropriate in story books, but rare in life. Fawn Afraid become a heroine, finally getting the Indian bullet intended for the hero, whom she followed like a faithful dog for saving her life. Lieutenant Tarlow develops as the villain in the second act by letting three soldiers be killed In ambush when he cowardly refused to obey Lieutenant Hawks vorth's orders to notify them of their danger. Henry Herman sustains the ungrateful part well and makes of himself a double-dyed villain by laying the blame on Hawksworth. Parlow and Kate, the General's daughter at Post Kennlon, are to be married, and the villainous lieutenant learns that his affianced and Hawksworth are old lovers. Mrs. BerlandGibbs rises nobly to her part with an instinctive distrust of her intended, and gets a call at the end of the second act by sending Hawksworth on a perilous ride to Fort Asslnabolne for aid at a time when her father was about tho brand him as a scoundrel for his alleged cowardice. Harold Russell looks the hero and plays it well. In this act private Jones, with his head dripping blood, brings the news of the fate of his comrades. , The third act shows the stockade at Post Kennion and the attack. Dawn Afraid, wounded, brings a report that Hawksworth is killed. Old "Scar Brow" appears outside and notifies the besieged garrison that they are to be butchered alive, promising to save only the General's daughter. General Kennlon notifies the redskin that Fawn Afraid is there and will be shot unless the Indians return. The girl falls dead before she can reply to her father, who refuses to believe she is with the whites. Mrs. Gihbe has her strongest part here, but falls short in her appeal from the stockade to the Indian chief. She win3 a promise from her father that he will kill her at the last moment before the savages break through and the General Is about to carry out the compact when the troops from Assinabolne put the redskins to flight. The last act is exceedingly tame, although Hawksworth arrives, little the worse for his wound, ond Lieutenant Parlow is exposed and disgraced. Three couples are made happy as the curtain falls. "The Girl I Left Behind Me" will be repeated to-night and twice tomorrow. Pnrk "True Irish Heart." A large audience saw the opening performance of "Tme Irish Hearts" at the Park yesterday afternoon, and the capacity of the house was tested last night. The play is a typical Irish drama, somewhat above the general average of its kind in a dramatic sense, and Is presented by a company that was evidently selected for Its especial fitness for this particular piece. The five or six principal iarts are in the hands of capable people, and the ierformance as" a whole is bright and clean ami full of wholesome fun. witty speeches and clever specialties. Edward Rowland as I.'inty luinagari and Lillian Keene as Kitty Brady were especially pleasing in their songs and dances, and the audiences evidently enjoyed the performances, the applause being frequent and heart'. The engagement 13 for three days, and will be followed by "The H.vo JoCms." Amusement Note. "A Brass Monkey," which will follow "The Jirl I Left Behind Me" at the Grand
