WHISKY SCIIKPIT.K. Sections S2, S3 and S4 of house bill relating to the whisky tax are stricken out altogether und new provisions inserted. On tho first day of tlu second month attcr the passage of the act there shall bo collected on all distilled spirits in bond at that time, or that may le then or thereafter produced in the United States on which tho tax is not paid before that day. 1.10 a proof gallon, or wine gal

lon when below proof, but In computing tho tax all fractional par" of gallons less than one-t?nth shall not be counted. Unless new stamps ran be nvtde tho present issue is authorized to le used That the tax herein 1mposod shall be paid by the distiller of the spirits, ou or before their removal from tho distillery or place of storage, except in case the removal therefrom without payment of tax Is authorized by law; and upon spirits lawfully deposited In nny distillery warehouse, or other bonded warehouse, established under Internal revenue laws within eight years from tho date of the original entry for deposit in any distillery warehouse, or from tho date of original gauge of fruit trandy deposited In special bonded warehouse, except In case of with. draws! therefrom without payment of tax as authorized by law. Warehousing and transportation bonds arc required a.s under the pres ent law, conditioned, however, for the payment of taxes at the new rate and bafore removal from warehouse aud within eight years. Provision is made for collecting the tax when any failure or rofusal to give warehouse bonds on original entry occurs. Distillers are permitted, prior to the expiration of four years of the date of the original gauge as to fruit brandy, or original entry as to all other spirits, to have the same regauged. The commissioner of interval revenue is authorized, upon the execution of proper bond, to establish one or more warehouses, not exceeding ten in any one district, to be known as general bonded warehouses, to be used exclusively for the storage of spirits distilled from material other than fruit. Provision is made for removal of liquors from the distilling warehouse to the general bonded warehouse, and spirits can be withdrawn from transfer from one general bonded warehouse to another but once. Distillers who have given bond and only distilled spirits of their own production in the original packages with tax-paid stamps attached, are exempted from the payment of the special tax of a wholesale liquor dealer. The remaining provisions relate to detail, conviction and punishment for violations of the law Till: INCOME TAX. With the exception of changes in the text and modification of some of its provisions, the income tax remains as part of the bill. The language of the llrst section is made clearer, aud reads as follows: That from and alter January 1, 1805. there shall 1m collected and paid annually upon tho gains, profits ami Income reeulvcd In tho pro ceding calendar year by every citizen of the United fetales and every person residing thcro In. whether said gains, profits or Incom" be derived from any kind of property, rents, interest, dividends. or sala ries, or from nny profession, trado, employment or vocation carried oa irf tho United States or elsewhere, or from nny other source whatever, a tax of 2 per cent, on the amount so derived over and nbovo 11,000, and n like tnx shall be lovtcd. collected and paid annually upon the gains, profits and Incomes of nil properly owned and of any business, trade or profession carried on In the United .States by persons residing without the United Kt-.-s. In estimating those things which go to make up au Income In addition to tho sales

of live Rio.-k. sujar. wool. etc.. tli committec adds cotton. I'roeeedlug along the lino ot the house bill changes are only made to make the text clear and where a word is med capatde of bi'hig construed ta give adlsoretlouary power, the tensa of the verb is changed to make it mandatory. In section Mi, which says there shall be levied und collected a tax of y per cent, on nil dividends, etc., the commit tee strikes out the following: On all dividends, annuliU" and Interest, jtuld by coriMiratlons or nsoovlatlons, organized for proilt by virtue of the laws of the United States, or of nny slates ly means of which tho individual stock bolder Is In any v!o limited. In cash, scrip or otherwise: and the net Income of nil such corporations 1 kxvcss of such dividends, annuities and luterests, or from any other sources whatever." The requirement that accounting otlleovsm ust send in their lists within thirty days after nny dividends become due ami payable is changed to read: "On or lefore tho liHh of the mouth following that In which such tUvlilcnds hecomo duo mid payable." The provision of section .M), "that this net shall not apply to the income or dividends received or paid by such building and loan associations as are organized under the laws of any state or territory, mid which do not make loans except to shareholders within the state where such associations have been organized, for the purpose of this act 'dividend' shall include every payment iu the way of division among the owners of the stock or capital of a corporation, or persons entitled to a share of its profits or in come, whether Mich dividends are paid out of profits or not. or are paid in cash or otherwise," is stricken out. ,An importantclau.su added provides that dividends or interest accruing to states, counties or municipalities, und dividends in these or annuities accruing to corporations or associations organized and conducted solely for charitable, religious or educational purposes, or to any trustee or other judiciary, on stocks, shares, funds or securities held solely for charitable purposes, on salaries due to state, county or municipal olllcers, shall not be subject to Mich tax or deduction. The house bill made it obligatory upou all corporations paying any em ploye a salary more than ?4,000, to pay the tax and charge it to such employe. The senate bill direets the corporation to report the salary paid, but gives the employe the right to act as his own financial agent in this transaction. The provisions making payment of priiio money the same as incomes from salaries is eliminated. In expunging the tautology found in the bouse bill, the senate committee lias cut out a number of sections, preserving the essential points by incorporating them Avith sections which they have condensed and rearranged, WANTED TO SEE HIM POP.

A Child's Curiosity Spoils llr Dig Sitter's AVrll-I.uld l'Mii. The last of the sunset glow was fading from the western horizon, and the stars had begun to shine out clear and bright on the darkening September sky. On a corner of the boarding-hoiiMs piazza, iu the light which shone from the door, a slender young girl with dark eyes, wavy brown hair, and wearing a gracefully-draped wliite gown, sat in the shadow. The glow of the cigarette showed that a. summer young man occupied a chair slightly in the rear of her. Their conversation was intermittent, and carried on in low tones. "Yes, I'm glad we're such good friends, Mr. Van de Horn, because 1 because we're so congenial and, to be frank, because I like yon." Tho girl turned her head and smiled at her companion, giving a pretty emphasis to the last sentence. "Put, say. maybe 3011 don't like this smoke I'll fire it." The cigarette went whirling out upon the lawn. "Oh, I wouldn't have had you do that on my account for anything, Mr. Vau dc Horn. And then you are so fond of them. "Perhaps 1 ought to have fired it be fore, hut I didn't think: hut, say, what a pretty ring that is. talcing the hand which rested on the chair arm. "Did you know we were thinking of going away to-morrow?' said the girl, pcnsivelv, without noticing the remark as to tho ring. "No, you don't moan it? Tell us all about it," said the young man, still holding the hand. "There's nothing to tell, except how lonesome I'll be, and" A little sigh was all that remained of the sentence. There was silence for several moments, broken only by the scraping sound when Mr. an do Horn s eluir was moved along a little. "I wish you wouldn't, Mr. Van do Horn: 1 feel sad to-night, and you really know yon shouldn't do that." "Put, my dear .Miss L.andls, I am merely comforting you." "Xb there, there! I shall have to go into the house. Xo ono but that is, no one can give that sort of consolation tome. I didn't think you would trifle. I thought you would appreciate friendship." The young lady had started to rise from her chair, and the young man, a.s lie dropped on one knee, still holding the hand between his own, did not ,seo the sight which made her stop. "You mistake me you really do. It is more than fricndRhiril offer you " hut he got no further. In the light which streamed from the doorway stood a little white-robed figure, and at the pause a small voice piped: "Sister May, is he doin' to pop? Tell me, catisu I want to see it." "Child, what arc you doing down here at this time of night?" said the young lady, glaring and rigid. "Want to see you make him pop," said the tot, In a rather frlgh tuned tone of voice. "What are you talking about? Go up stairs this minute back to bed." "I didn't do nullln'," catnu in tearful sobs.

A.N IMI'Olif.VNT SUTTKII, Y.siu.V(tru.v, March s; Ono of thd llrst Important topics to engage .score tary l.reshnm's attention on ids return from tt gunning trip on tho North Carolina coast was tho troublesome and still unsettled matter of tho protection of fur-seal life in Mehring se i. It can lo stated positively that mir government will intlko no change in the firm attitude it has taken 011 the question. TUB lti:iH't..V!!ONS prepared at the state department, which wore contained in the McCreary hill Introduced in the house two weeks ago, are considered wholly within the decision 6f the Paris tribunal, ntid there is not the slightest likelihood that this government will recede from them. The Jtritish contention does not seek to lind any fault with those provisions as being unfair under the judgment of the arbitrators, but it docs set forth that the terms are too harsh to the interests of Canadian sealers, and the United Suites is therefort! ASKKP TO AGItKi: TO JIOlll KK'ATIONS for the present year at least. The United .States has met this with a counter proposition which would make tho suggested regulations operativeon May 1 this year and on April 1 next year. Secretary llresham was disposed to be firm in his demand for the commencement of patrol a month earlier this year until it was found that vessels could not be had in sullicient numbers until May 1, and he then consented not to press that point for another year. CANADIAN Sr.AI.KKS DKI'AKTINO. The state department has reliable in formation that Canadian sealers arc taking advantage of the delay of the Canadian government in issuing its usual notice of warning, and are thus early departing in numbers ostensibly for the Japanese sealing grounds. Little doubt is felt that these early sailing vessels will eventually turn up in Ilehringsea and plead ignorance of regulations which may be agreed upon a month or two hence. The law officials are satisfied that such an excuse will be put forward, and arc just as confident that it wii.i. not 111: coNsii:tti:i vamp .n any court, for the terms of the tribunal's decision are too well known, and the publication of the regulations of the McCreary bill would probably be held as sullicient notice. A few ollicials intimate that ICngland's effort to modify tho decision of the tribunal at this late day when the United Siates regulations have been known to the IJritish government for many months is SIMPLY TO OAIN TIME KOK THE SEA LRUS to get out on the ocean and thus leave the validity of seizures under these circumstances to the courts or to submit to arbitration, thereby reopening the findings of the I'aris tribunal which were adverse to Great Britain while holding the United States to strict account for its obedience where the find iug set aside American claims. NAVAL OFF1CEKS DISAPPOINTED. Naval olllcers express emphatic disappointment that tli is government has consented to take such a limited stand as shown by the published regulations. They hoped the whole North Pacific ocean would be under patrol from Mnrch to November, and it is well known that as long ago as November last the secretary of the navy thought it would be necessary to provide vessels for that purpose. The trouble in Itrazil requiring a large tleot there and disappointment in getting SFVEItAL NEW MUPS INTO COMMISSION made it evident that such patrol could not be made effective. The orders cabled by the secretary of the navy to the commander of the Ilennington, which arrived at Pernamhuco Tuesday from the Mediterranean, directing him to proceed with all dispatch around Cape Horn and San Francisco cnot later than May 1, are a significant indication that no change is contemplated in the policy of having a sufli cient naval force on hand, at thu timo already determined upon by the administration. VESSELS OKDEItRI) ON DUTV. Secretary Herbert has also shown his confidence that the position of the state department will not be modified by his orders to other ships available for patrol duty. The Adams, at Honolulu, is under orders to be at Sitka not later than May 1. The Concord, now at Yokohama, is now under orders to reach Ounalaska about the same time, and the commanding officers of tho Mohican and Yorktown have been informed that they will be ordered to rendezvous at Port Townscnd by the last week of April. The Marion, which put back to Yokohama last Saturday after suffering from AN K.VCOL'NTKU WITH A TYPHOON three days out from that port, was on her way to San Francisco, where she was to bo docked and cleaned to bo sent north as soon as possible, has now been ordered into dock at Yokohama, and will then go direct to the coast of Alaska to join the other ships. Tho Pinta is already at Sitka. The revenue cutters Hear, Corwin and Hush aro all ready for similar duty to that performed by them last j'car, anil the fish commission vessel Albatross will go north in a few weeks. A Sad Fate.

Piili.Ai.Li.ptUA, March V. -The new battleship Indiana, the tirst of her class in the now navy, return..' yesterday afternoon from a most successful preliminary trial trip. The Indirmt loft the Cramps' yard at '. o'clock- Tuesday morning in charge of Capt, It. W. Sargent and un experienced crew. Shestoanu'd slowly down past the city wharves, moving more like an old-timer than like a big battle ship, tho largest ever built in this country, on her mahlen trip. When In deeper waters of Delaware bay. tho speed was increased to about thirteen knots. Her engines worked with marvelous smoothness and there was no perceptible vibration from them. During the afternoon compasses wore adjusted, and everything was put in readiness for the run of the next day. The ship anchored off the Delaware breakwater for the night. At (i:r a, 111., on Wednesday, the nnchor was taken aboard and the ship beaded out to sea. After passing outside the capes her coarse was changed and she ran to the northward. The day was a perfect one for a sea trial. The air was balmy and the ocean like a mill pond. The big ship pushed ahead steadily and seemed to be as easily handled as n steam yacht, though edie is a lO.'JOO-toniicr. The course over which her trial runs were made is off Cape May, and was between the Southwest lightship at the Five Fathoms bank, to the Northwest lightship, Ö.05 nautical miles up the coast. The ühip was put over this course six times three times in each direction. The turns were made a full speed, and the ship was practically under five hours' continous steaming at high speed. During all this time

there was no accident of any kind to the machinery or the ship, nor a bearing beam unduly heated, and everything worked so smoothly that even her builders were surprised. The averages were 14:0-2 and 11:12 knots, respectively. The engines averaged l'J-J revolutions, and, as about the same time was made going and coming, the tidal effect was practically eliminated. A moderate forced drnft of half an inch air pressure was used for the next run, and fifteen knots was maintained. This is the speed called for in the contract with the government. The ship made l.VO knots on the last two runs. This was considered so satisfactory that the trial was declared at an end, und the Indiana returned to the breakwater, where she anchored for the night. At 7 o'clock yesterday morning she started on her return trip to this city. Coining up the bay and river an average of fourteen knots was made with a favorable tide for SO miles. The performance of the Indiana on this preliminary run was very satisfactory when the condition of the ship is considered. Her bottom has not been painted since she was launched a little over a year ago. Her side armor, turrets, conning tower ami guns have not been placed in her yet, and she consequently draws three feet less than on her official trial. This will sink her screws deeper, and is expected to increase her speed. Taking all things into consideration, it is predicted that the ship will make above fifteen knots, and possibly a quarter or a half knot more. A premium of ?-2.",ü00 per quarter knot will be earned by the builders for anything above fifteen knots, and from $100,000 to ?150,000 will probably be paid by the government in addition to thu 3,020,000 named iu the contract COUGHLIN IS FREE, A Clileiiifo .Jury llxvliii; Decliiroil III In. noD'iire of I'Mrtlclnntiou in I lip Murder of Dr. Crmilii.
