The resignation takes place on the 24th inst. Senator Peff er offered a long preamble and resolution reciting the notice for the issue and sale of 3 per cent, bonds given by the Secretary of the Treasury, and declaring that, in the opinion of the Senate, the Secretary of the Treasury has no lawful authority for . issuing or selling bonds as proposed. The resolu tion went over till to-morrow.

Senator Sherman expressed his doubts ! as to the propriety of the general Gov ernment erecting monuments anywaiere except in the District of Columbia. Such commemorative monuments, he said, should be left" to the States themselves. He was reminded by Senator Hoar of the fact that he (Sherman) had once in troduced a bill for a monument at Marietta, Ohio, to the founders of that State. The vote on tile passage of the bill re sulted yeas, 29; nays, 13; one less than a quorum. The roll was then called and fif ty-two Senators responded. But be fore the second vote was begun another discussion was started involving the pro posed issue of bonds. It was started by Senator Morgan, who said that, if he had not been paired, he would have voted against the bill, although with great re luctance. The; Government, he said, was actually too poor at this time to honor the memory of heroic ancestors. It could not atlord to borrow money at 5 per cent, in order to build monuments; and that borrowing was what the Govern ment was now going to do 'on a question able use-.of the statutes, for the purpose of fortifying the gold reserve , in the treasury, tor the benent ot oanKs ano bankers, and of dealers in gold coin and bullion." That class of patriotic citi zens, Senator Morgan added, with bitter irony, must first of all, be taken care of. Those men seemed to have a claim on the Legislative and Executive Depart ment of the Government which it was way for free trade. He advocated an income tax and a direct tax whenever it was possible. Mr. Sibley. Democrat, of Pennsyl vania, then addressed the committee. He Baid he was not an ardent admirer of the Wilson bill, but he thought it was prob- ably as good as could be connected by I one college professor and fifteen lawyers. Mr. Deb orest, JJemocrat ot uonnecu- cut, was the next speaker. HeTs one of the members of the majority about whose position on the Wilson bill there was some uncertainty. But 'though he had very strenuous objections to some of the sections of the Wilson bill, notably the tobacco schedule, he had "swallowed his medicine" and spoke in praise of the 1 measure. He denounced the Republican party and the Republican policy of pro- j tection, and lauded tua Democracy and everything Democratic; ' ! ; At 10:45 o clock the House adjourned. THE INCOME TAX. Provision's of the Proposed Internal Revenue Bill for Levy ing and Collecting This Tax. Washington, Jan. 13. This was the day fixed last week by the majority ' of the Committee on Ways and Means on which to report to the House the Inter nal Revenue bill, but up to this " evening it had not been finally put in shape for presentation. . Messrs. McMillin and Bryan have been revising the text and expect to be able to have it completed for consideration tc-morrow morning. Should their expectations be realized it will be reported tpthe House before the adjournment of the day. One member of the committee who is in favor of the income tax provision says the settlement of the question wjiether or not it shall be prepared as an amendment to the customs bill now pending will be left to a Democratic caucus. He expressed a conviction that the caucus will order it to be made a part of the measure now being considered. - The bill provides that the income tax is to g6 into effect on January 1, 1895 "and that the first collection on incomes is to be made on July 1, 189a. All classes of incomes are included n the measure and the uniform rate of 2 per cent, tax on incomes over $1,000 is fixed. The mo3t important detail of the bill is the method provided for the levy and collection of taxes. It is made obliga tory on all persons, receiving individual incomes of over $3,500, to make a return to the local collector of ;. internal revenue. These returns are gone over by the reve nue collector and a taxable list is made up of those whose incomes exceed $4, 000. No tax is levied on those making a return of above $3,500 and under $4,000, but the committee deemed it expedient to leave this rkargin of $500 below the exemption point in order that the re turns might be sure to show all who are subject to the tax. I la case a person having an income or over $3,500 fails to make a return, it be comes the duty of the revenue assessor to make inquiry as to the amount of the persons income. If this examination discloses that the income is above $4,000 the income is subjected to twice the or dinary tax under the law!, and the party failing to make his return is deemed guilty of a criminal offence and is made subject to a fine and imprisonment. The main purpose in framing the above provisions has been to avoid an inquisitorial operation of the law. The committee believes that it will do away with the necessity of having assessors pry into the private business of people unless the latter have a taxable income THE STATE MUSEUM: ARRANGING THE ELEGANT WORLD'S FAIR EXHIBITS. -The "of to-day says business is more impossible to resist; and they had to be yielded to in every demand which they made."

The trouble was that the enemy was invisible to the peo ple, but it was really a war a wr which the money; power was waging against industryand productions, and, the national debt ;was to be increased to carry on that war. .- - . ... ii i or.

I Sheriff J. M. Smith, of Richmond Provision is also made by which no information can be made public as to the details of the income reported by the citizens. If suph details become public it might injure the credit of a firm or individual. For that reason any public or private person who divulges any part of this information concerning incomes is made subject to criminal prosecution, with heavy fine and penalty. This pro vision is in line with the English law of 1857. Prior to that time the British income tax was yery unpopular, because it made public the details of private business. But after the law of 1857 was passed there was little further objection to the tax. . Particular provision is made for the collection of the income tax due on sala ries, not only official salaries but the sala rips ot individuals rtceiviiij hnsineea firms, corporations, etc. from The Attempted Assassination of Turpen- tine Hands.

But the higher values in duced free offerings, and sellers pre ponderated, and with the liberal port re ceipts the improvement was quickly lost. The. rvort movements are surprisingly lartre. though moderate crop views still preponderate here.

The opening was i to ic higher than yes terday's close, eased off i to ic, reacted and sold up f to fc, became easy again and the close was fc higher than yester- day- . . .. The corn crop showed continued nrm- ness throughout the session. The first trades to-day were at an advance oi tc over yesterday's close. Prices then de clined i to ic, rallied to ic, eased off some, and at the close a net gam of tc was recorded for the day. In oata there was a very fair business. Prices were higher than yesterdays close at one time, but part of the ad vance was lost and tne last ngures showed a net gain of c for the day. There was a demoralized hog market to-day. Early in the day the feeling of depression was communicated to pro visions. - When supplementary reports were received from the yards, quoting a gain equal to the amount of the early loss in values, the product responded and prices advanced. Packers bought quietly. Shorts endeavored to do so, too, but, as a rule, were compelled to bid for the stuff. The proposed issue of bonds by the Government incidentally lent a tone of firmness to the market, as did also the Cincinnati Pi'iee Current re port Of an increase in the packing for the weefc- of 100.000 over the corrcspond- inirHavaTflaraeo.
