Internal Revenue Chnngm, The senate bill changes the Wilson bill rates n cigars and cigarettes. The Wilson bill provided that from and after July 1, 1894, there shall be collected an internal revenue tax on all cigarettes wrapped in paper weighing not more than three pounds a thousand manufactured for sale or offered for sale in the United States of Jl per 1.C00. This section is changed in the senate bill to read as f lh.ws: "That from and after July 1. 1SP4. there shall be collected an internal revenue tax on cigars of all descriptions, including cigarettes. Weiching mre than three pounds per 1,0"0, made of tobacco or any substitute thereof. Jj per 1.m; cm cigarettes, wrapped in papor weighing not more than three pounds per l.0i, manufactured, for sale or offered for sale in the United States. $1 per l.OOv; on cigarettes wrapped in tobacco, weighing less than three pounds per 1,00 3ö cents for l.ooo." The income tax retains the rate of 2 per cent, on the amount of income over $4,0V), as prescribed, by adding to rents, profits, salaries, etc., the words, "Or from any source whatever." The persons to whom the tax applies are "every citizen of the United States and every person residing therein." The senate bill makes the collectors of internal revenue the officers in charge of the collection of income taxes instead of th deputy collectors, as provided in the Wilsen bill. The right of appeal against imposition of unjust taxes is retained, but the tinal decision rests with the commissioner of Internal revenue, and not with the -ecretary of the treasury as provided in the house bill. The order in which kink:; and trut companies are taxed is somewhat hanod, all of these institutions being included un-d-r general head? instead of stp.initcdy. Th foliowii-rs- new exception to the tax is inserted: "Provided. That di i line's or interest aer-ruing to states, counties or municipalities, and dividends, interest or annuities accruing to corporations vr .s. fociatior.s organized and conducted yoip. ly for charitable, religion? or educational purposes, or to any trust-.- or other fiduciary, n stocks, shares, funds or s?.-utities hold solely fr charitable, relScious or educational puriios: s. o- salaries du' to stat county or municipal officers shall not bo subject to such tax or dedu'-tion." In taxing salaries of e-rr loves of corporations the house bill m :Kcs it the duty of the corporation to pay the tx of each employe and then deduct it from their salaries. The senate bill relieves corporations from bet oniim; the tipayers for its employes and compels the

Jatter to nmke direct payment to the col lectors as follows: "Said employe shall pay thereon, subject to the exemptions herein provided for. the tax of 2 pr eent. on the excess of his salary over Jt.OoO." The tiiii whn returns on income taxes are made is changed from the first "day" of March to the first "Mondav" of March. The entire section requiring private corporations to notify revenue collectors of all dividends, profits, etc., declared, is stricken out. This does not relieve the corporations from the lax. but do,s away with the burden of notifying the collector every time dividends or profits are divided. This section making it perjury to falsify any proce-ding under the income tax is stricken out. The changes made in the tariff on imported wines are not many. On all pp'rits and cordials additional provisos are ordered declaring In effect that when imported in bottle and jugs no additional duty shall be assessed on the bottl?s and jugs. The following language in thWilson bill Is stricken out: "All compounds or preparations of which distilled spirits are a component part of chief value, not especially provided for in this act. there shall be levied a duty not less than that imposed upon distilled spirits." In placa of this th- following Is inserted: "Upon nil compounds or preparations containing alcohol thej-e -hall be l"i"d Catarrh In Its Worst Form Life Almost a Burden A Clorious Chan go Duo Solely to Hood's Sarseparilla.

The administrative features of the bill are substantially identical with tbosof the house bill. This insures the extensive change from the present law as the house bill made a comprehensive revision of the entire administration system. The changes mide by the senate are mainly of a technical character, suggested by the experts, of the treasury for the further perfeciing of the administration of the tariff at. In estimating duties on any articles not specially enumerated in the bill, the senate biil says that it shall pay the lowest rale on the article Is resembles instead of the highest rate, as the Wilson bill provided. The exception in the Wilson bill as to personal effects not subject to duty is enlarged to read: "And personal and iKitisehold effects specifically enumerated in the m-v li.-t of this act."

NEW YORK. March !. A number of gentlemen identified xvith the woolen and dry goods business in this city 'allexl on Senator Havid R Hill nt the Hotel Ne.v Netherlands, Fifty-ninth-st. and Fif ih-ax-e. today. Among thoe present xveie James H. Dunham. E. M. Townsend. J. It. Quimby, VT. E. Greenough, J. F. AVcxister, Theodore Frelinghuysen, Arthur Ilarnwell, E. II. Sampson. Walter Stanton. Charles E. Ky croft and M. W. Benjamin. The conference lasted fully an hour, and the Wilson tariff bill was the only topic discussed. "Now, gentlemen," said Mr. Hill, as soon as all were seated in a parbir on the main floor, "I suppose you have come to speak to m? about the tariff, and I am ready to hear anything you may have to say." One of the visitors said: "Well, we all object to the income tax part of it." "Oh, I realize-d that long ago," replied Senator Hill, "that the business men of Nexv York state are opposed to any income tax. Tho representatives from the South and extreme West seem to be in favor of it, but I don't think their arguments an sound or can be defended. I have hoped that we will be able to induce congress not to pass it, but I e-an-not predict." The income tax matter was thn dropped and the questiem of specific and ad valorem duties xvas taken up. Some of the business men pointed out where ad xalorem duties opened up a channel for dishonesty by in-oicing goods at a lower price anri bx" faulty appraisement. Mr. Hill said: "In my opinion, the way matters look now. the el valorem tariff has been run to the- ground. The bill xxhen it is reported to the full senate will be rliscussM for probably six xvecks and at the present tini" I hax-e pot nothing to suggest to h business men. but before the discussion is ended I xvili have something t' say I am in favor for a tariff high enough to enable American manufacturers to compete with foreigners a far as the difference in xvages i cone.'ni'fl. "'lie business interests of this country require that the matter should ho settled as quickly as possible, and I assure you 1 vill facilitate its being disposed r.f a! the earliest possible moment. Of course there are di-Toronees of opinion between business men on the tariff question, and you cannot blame senate! s if they hohl different opinions on the question, too." Walter Stanton asked Mr. Hill if a delegation of Now York business men went to Washington and ptvo their viexvs on the different parts of the proposed bill it would haxe any effect. In reply I he Nexx" York senator said: "1 xvish the senate committee had allowed gentlemen xx ho understood the business questions at issue to be examined before them instead of listening to senators. I would suggest to you to let 1l-e represent;'! ix es of the various business interests get together and formulate their objections in a general way to any point in the Wilson bill. Eet these be stated briefly in a c ircular, with suggestion: of the desired changes, and have copies sent to all the senators. Coming from New Y'-rk lt:""i"es in n these suggestions will certainly hava great xvclerht." When the- business men xxent away Lieutenant-Governor W. F.

P.UKFAU OF THE SENTINEL, WASHINGTON. I (. .March 1'1. The senate commi'tee left ihe customs schedule on tobacco in the Wilson bill unchanged. The internal rex e-nuo schedule xvas changed to read. "A tax on cigars of ad descriptions, including cigarette?, weighing more than three pounds net- thousand, made of tobacco or any substitute there-of, ?5 per thousand: on cigarettes wrapped in paper, xveighing more than three pounds per thousand. manufactured or offei eel for sale in the T'nited Stales. $1 per thousand, weighing more than three pounds per thousand, f0 cents per thousand." nnpit if.mv ix hey i:i n. i;tlmntril nefielt It educed by from StO.OOII.IHH) lo SCO.OM.M. WASHINGTON'. March 10. There ai" good reasons for the belief that the deficiency in the revenue of the government for Ihe present fiscal year will fall considerably bolox- Mr. Carlisle's esinfttes. In bis statement before the house judiciary committee cm Jan. L'. the .seefotary expressed the opinion thai the deficit for Ihe year xveuld be ?7S,0."K or $7e-.'MVX.'. hut Ihe conditions have chansreel somewhat since then, and it is now the opirion of experts, xvho base their estimates upon the best data obtainable, that the deficiency will be found not to exceed $70,ooo.OoO. This conclusion is reached independent of any Increase in the receipts from internal revenue, incident lo a probable increase in the duties in the liquor, tobacco and other schedules of the pending tariff bill. The closest and most careful estimate of the receipts from customs places the amount at th? clor? of th year at $133.000.000. of which $92,1357.4?; had alreadx been realized March J. It is expected that until the nexv tariff bill bocomes a law there will not be any considerable Importations, except of the current needs and an actix-c market. Merchants d.uring the la?t year, and particularly during the last six months, it is argued, bax'e been pursuing a vry cautious policy as to purchases abroad, and as a consequence their stocks of goods have been reduced to a very low point. Assuming that this conservatixpolicy will continue and that , customs receipts will continue to slowly decrease for the remaining months of the year, the aggregate would probably still reach 135.000,e00. The receipts from internal revenu art closely estimated at $140.000.00 if uninfluenced by pending legislation, and the

receipts from miscellaneous sources $1".f'00,000, making the total receipts f2?3,Wrt.otW. The civil and miscellaneous disbursements will probably reach jrS,00.00. of which the bounty on sugar will take S10.000.000 and possibly & little more. The disbursements through the war department, it is thought, will aggregate about r4.0'Ht.O00, and of this amount about $1"'.tfOO.ooo haw already been paid on account jf rix er and harbor appropriations. The cost of the navy department, including payments for the construction of war -cssels and premiums on the same, it is estimated will amount to about J OfWKW. The Indian service ? rxpeeterl to cost approximately flO.O0O.OiW. East year the payments on this account were abnormally large in consequence of the fn.ooo.001 paid .o the Clioctaws for ceded lands. A material decrease is anticipated in the amount of pension payments, and it is not beliex ed that the aggregate for the year will exe-eed $l4i.non.00O. These figures make a total of $r,6;M(K.00 of expenditures, or a deficiency of t69.40O.O0f. This estimated deficit, iiowexer. is very likely to be materially reduced by the xvitiidraxxais from landed warehouses of whisky and alcohol before tho pending tariff bill becomes a law and is put into effect. There are now in bond alout l.OOO.OOft gallons of high grade spirits, of which 4f.noo.ooo gall ns are rye and lxnirbon whiskies and about fi,"..cno.ooo gallons alcohol and loxv grade whisky. It is argued as aW.hol does not increase in value with age, but raher deteriorates, nearly the whole ai iint now in bond will be withdrawn to avoid the payment of increased du-tie-5. and it is believe.! that of the best grades of whisky now in bond a large per cent, would be xvithdrawn for the sain reason. It is therefore conridently expected that the effect of the increases made by the senate and house in the whisky tax will reduce the deficit for the year by from flo.O'iO.OOrt to $2ft,')oft.noei. Tent of Armor Plate. The navy department has received and today proceeded to test the first armor plates that have been completed by the new and expensive Harx-eyir.ing plant of the Carnegie works. Naval men consider the tests proof of the superior quality of the Harvey plate, although this particular one was of extra quality. The fact that none of the seams were through th rivet holes show that they do not weaken the plate. Either of the first two shots would hax-e smashed a nickel plate, say the experts.

CKOW.V POINT. March ?. Special. The long-talked-of fee and salary law, passed by the recent Indiana legislature, was declared unconstitutional by Judge Gillett in tno Iake circuit court this morning. The action was hroujfht some time ago by Treasurer McKay against F,e--order .lohn H. Krost to test the oonstltutienality of the fee and salary bill of this Stale. The defendant claims that the law is not general in its operations as the county of Shelby is not included in the part of the law xvhich fixes the fees and salary of the auditors, i'ccerders and treasurers. Judge McCabe of the Indiana, supreme court recntly rendered a decision in the matter of tho salaries of the sheriffs of the state and he declared that the law was constitutional in their case. Tip- late law, according, to Judge Gillette's ruling, is. therefore, clearly unconstitutional as the constitution prehibils local or special legislation. There are a number of other points in his decision, which covers ten elosely type-wrtten pages, but the above is about the sum and substance of it. ANXIOUS FOR A LYNCHING. Tennessee Farmer Crime Pal Iii Life In Jropnrd-f. NASHVILLE. Tenn., March f. News has just reached here from Celma. Tenn., an isolated ha inlet, of a horrible tragedy. George A.
