" The Income tax retains the rate ol 2 per cent on the amount of Incomes over ? 4,000 , as prescribed in the Wilson bill. The classes of income are broadened by adding to rents , profits , salaries , etc. , the words , "or from any source whatever. " The persons to whom the tax applies are "overy citizen of the United States and every person residing therein. " Spirit Sections The sections covering the tax on spirits nro new throughout and are a substitute for the house sections struck out. The main section of the bill is as fol lows ; "On and after the first day of the second calendar month after the passage of this act there shall bo levied nnd collected on all distilled spirits In bond at that time , or that may have been or that may then or thereafter bo produced In the United States on which the tax Is not paid before that ' day , at a tax of $1.10 on each proof gallon' , or wlno gallon when below proof , and a proportionate tionate tax at a like rate on all fractional paits of such proof or wlno gallon ; provided , that In computing the tax on any package of spirits all fractional parts ot a gallon less than one-tenth shall be excluded , " The bonato bill makes the collectors of Internal revenue the officers In charge of the collection of Income taxes , Instead ot the deputy collectors , as provided In the Wilson bill. The right of appeal against Imposition ot unjust tnxea Is retained , but the final do- : lslon rests with the commissioner of Internal revenue and not with the secretary ot the treasury , as provided for In the house bill , CHANGED THE ORDER. The order In which bank , trust and Insurance ance- companies nro taxed U somewhat changed , all of these Instftullons being In cluded under a general head , Instead of sep arately. The following new exception to the tax U Inserted : "Provided , that the divi dends or Interest accruing to states , counties or municipalities , and dividends , interest or annuities accruing to corporations or asso ciations organized and conducted solely for charitable , religion * or educational purposes , or to any trustee or other fiduciary on Blocks , shares , funds or securities held solely for charitable , religious or educational purposes , or salaries duo to state , county or municipal olllcers , shall not bo subject to such tax or deduction. " In taxing salaries of employes of corpora tions the house bill makes It the duty ot the corporation to pay the tax of each cm- [ iloyo and then deduct It from their salaries. The senate bill relc\es ! corporations from Becoming the taxpayers for Its employes and compels the latter to iimko direct payments to the collector , as follows : "Said em- iiloyo shall pay thereon , subject to the ex emptions herein provided for , the tax of 2 l > cr cent on the excess fit his salary over 51.000. " The tlmo when returns on Income taxes ire made Is changed/from the first "day ot March" to the tlrst "Monday of March , " The section requiring private corporations : o notify revenue collectors of all dividends , ( Continued on Second ; Pace. ) TROUBLE IN fy\ST \ AFRICi' ' English and Portuguese Meet in a Skirmla ! on the Zambesi , UNSATISFACTORY REPORT OF THE AFFAII Hhotit Were Kxclmnged nnd It In KUDU .Mint lllood Wa Shed Jloth Sides C'allliiK for ItelnrorcemvntH How thoTrotiblo .Started. PORT NATAL , Southeast Africa , Marcl S. The collision between the Portuguese nm British on the Zambesi river , an account o which was cabled to the Associated pres exclusively yesterday , Is due to an attemp of the Mozambique company to obtain pe cunlary benefits from the African Transcontl ncntal Telegraph company , which Is cngogci In extending Its telegraphic system fron Fort Salisbury , In Mashonaland , In order t connect with the system ot telegraph Hue extending from Cairo down the east coast o Africa. The line referred to was to hav crossed the Zambesi river In the vicinity o Tele , capital of the Portuguese territory o Klllmane. The offlctals ot the British telegraph com pany resisted all such attempts and were sus tallied by the colonial government , Premie Cecil Rhodes being personally Interested litho the telegraph enterprise. The relations be tween the Portuguese nnd British have bcei growing constantly moro strained and thi former finally went so far as to boycoV th supplies of fuel and provisions intended fo the British gunboat Herald , a steel whee vessel of eighty-two tons , Intended for us- upon the rivers of Africa. It now appears that the collision was com mcnced by the firing of two cannon shot from the Portuguese forts as a warning ti the British to stop work and leave the bank of the Zambesi. Shortly afterward a numbe of boats loaded' with Portuguese , natlvi soldiers and police , put out from the shore crossed the Zambesi and uprooted the tele graph poles erected by the British. The con struction party resisted , but no loss of llfi Is reported. The telegraph company's official In chargi of the work appealed to Commander Carr o the British gunboat Mosquito , which wai lying close to the shore where the Brills ! party was at work , asking for protection Thereupon Commander Carr notified tin Portuguese officers in command that hi would open flro upon the Portuguese If thi work of constructing Iho lelcgraph line wai Inlcrfered with any further , nnd the com mandcr of Iho .Mosqullo also Immediate ! : sent for reinforcements , as ho was far out numbered and In a very dangerous position The Portuguese are reported to have replle < that they would Insist that no further worl should be done upon'tho telegraph lines anc also sent for reinforcements , which wen sent forward. Unofficial Information received since Com mander Carr's report reached this city is t ( the effect there has been fighting bctwcei the Mosquito and the Portuguese forts , nm that there has also been a further confllc between the Portuguese and the constructloi party , which has resulted In loss of life Several of the British gunboats on the Zam besl river are at points where it Is 1m possible to communicate with them ai promplly as Is desired , but so soon as thi nccess'ary arrangements can bo made Com mander Carr will receive reinforcements o gunboats and troops , and the rights of th ( African Transcontinental company will b ( upheld. This is not the first time Englani has had trouble with Portugal In rcgarc to the African possessions of the latter conn try , and It Is believed the Tote Incident wil bo taken advantage of by the Brltlsl authorities to settle once for all the ques tion In dispute regarding boundary limlta/ lions nnd other matters which have lonf been a source of considerable annoyance U Iho colonial ofllclals of both countries. THAT PACIFIC CAHI.i : . I'rocecdlngH of the 1'oHtnI and Cable Con. fcrcnco : t Wellington , X. / . , Vesterday. WELLINGTON , N. Z. , March 8. Th ( postal and cable conference , after an anl mated discussion today , unanimously adoptei n subslltuto for yesterday's resolution Ii favor of a Pacific cable via Samoa , Fannlnj Island and Honolulu to Vancouver.

The tariff Is to not exceed 3 shillings per word for ordinary telegrams between Great Britain and the colonies. During the debate which followed alien- tton was drawn to the fact that with the exception of Samoa and Honolulu , the cable would bo exclusively In Brlllsh terrllory. Mr. Dlddey warmly supported Prcsldenl Ward's motion , saying lhat ho had no sym pathy with the proposal to extend the cable from Now Caledonia , ns It might bo domi nated by tlio French. The r'outo of Iho now cable Is to bo from Brisbane ( Queensland ) , Australia , lo Ahdlpara bay , New Zealand , and from Ihoro lo Apia , Samoa , thence le Fanning Island , continuing from lucre lo Ihc Sandwich Iblands , and from that point tc Vancouver. Or from New Zealand lo Apia , Fanning Island , and from thence to Van couver , The delegates also adopted n resolution tc the effect that the person or company mak- Inc a lender for Ihe proposed now steamship scrvlco must stale whether It Is Intended whlto or Asiatic labor bo employed on board Iho steamers , nnd , In addition , the confer ence recommended thai the mall boats should only employ white labor. Several of the speakers expressed a desire that the novy mall steamers should bo so constructed ns to bo capable of being trans formed Into cruisers for use In case of war.

LINCOLN , March 8. ( Special to The Bee. ) Secretaries Johnson nnd Koontz of the State Hoard of Transportation today submit ted two reports of their Investigations of the transfer switch law passed by the last legis lature. There uro nearly 100 junction points in the state coming within the operation and scope of the law. The secretaries of the board have visited a number of these points and made an exhaustive Investigation of the surroundings and circumstances. It was soon discovered that to Investigate the claims of all junction points would consume a great deal of tlmo ami Involve a considerable ex pense. In order to avoid the useless expen diture of tlmo and money , the secretaries have concluded to make two test cases. They have ordered transfer switches constructed nt Schuylcr nnd O'Neill. The railroad com panies Interested will appeal the cases to the supreme court on the ground that the transfer switch law Is unconstitutional. In the matter of the Union Pacific Rail way company and the Chicago , Burlington & Qulncy Railroad company , asking to bo relieved from the operation of the transfer switch law at the city of Sshuyler , Colfax countyNeb. . , the secretaries reported the following findings and recommendations : * " " 'RESULT OF THE INQUIRY. "Tho law creating the obligation from which the petitioners seek relief seems to Imply discretionary power on the part of the Board of Transportation. The terms , 'un usually burdensome , unjust and unreason able , ' wo construe as measuring the cost and Inconvenience ot the switch to be put In , as against the necessity of the tralllo which Eeekn its use. "In arriving at a conclusion , wo have kept inlev ( he prominent features of this case , which also are common to a largo number of other cases now pending before the board wherein the same Issue Is involved. "First The physical conditions which enter Into the cost of construction , such as length of switch required , amount of grad ing and bridging necessary , and cost of right of way. ' 'Second The distance apart and relation to each other of depots , switching yards and other track facilities of the roads sought to b"e" connected , which go to make up the consequent inconvenience ot operation and Increased liability to accident. "Third Tlio conditions as to local or short haul traffic arising at points adjacent to the ono In question , seeking the bhortest and quickest route and the lowest rate. "Fourth The conditions of the long haul traffic , wherein the public good requires that there should be no barriers between roads to prevent the free Interchange of trafllc from one part of the state to another. "From a peraonal examination of the premises and from the testimony adduced on' the hearing of said case wo find : "That the length of switch required woulti not exceed 1,000 feet , iflid that the total cost of same would not exceed $1,200 , exclusive of right of way. "That the relation to each other .of the depots and switching yards of petitioners at this point are such that a transfer switch connection would not seriously In crease the liability to accidents and would not bo unusually burdensome In operation. "From the sworn testimony of shippers and business men who appeared before the secretaries , and from other sources of In formation , wo find that there Is but little local demand for the enforcement of this law In the necessities of local traffic , either at the city of Schuylcr or adjacent points. "Tho necessities ot the long haul traffic within the state In such commodities as [ hay , corn , potatoes and other farm products ere such as to require transfer connections at all terminal points. The point In question being a terminal point of the B. & M. rail road , wo find that compliance with the law- would not bo unusually burdensome , unjust or unreasonable. "Wo recommend that the prayer of the petitioners be denied asto this case , and that they bo hold to a compliance with the provisions of the law. " CASE AT O'NEILL. In the matter of the petitions of the Sioux " City. O'Neill & Western Railway" company and the Fremont , Elkhorn & Missouri Val ley Railroad company , asking to bo relieved from the duty of building and maintain ing a transfer twitch between the two roads at or near the city of O'Neill , In Holt county , the findings and recommendations of the sec retaries of the board nro as follows : "From a personal examination of the premises In this case wo find that the length .of switch required would not exceed COO 'feet , and would cost not to exceed $700. "Tho location of depots and switch yards are such that a transfer switch connection would not cause berlous inconvenience to either line ot road. "From the testimony of witnesses who ap peared before the secretailes wo find that the necessities ot both long and short haul traffic In this part of the state are mich as requires a transfer switch connection at this point , and that the putting -In of the same would not bo unusually burdensome , unjust or 'unreasonable. "Wo recommend that the prayer of the petitioners as to this case be denied , and that they bo hold to a compliance with the law. " The flnal hearings of the cases will beheld held by the State Board ot Transportation on March 22 and 23. On March 22 the findings and recommendations of the sec retaries in the Schuyler case will bo pre sented and the O'Neill case will be heard the following day. Representatives of the roads Interested have been notified to bo present and urge their objections , If they have any , to tlio findings ot the secretaries. The secretaries , who have made the Inves tigations so far , assert that they nro some what handicapped by the fact that they are compelled to pay their own traveling ex penses. In 'passing the law the legislature provided no expense fund or no means for the enforcement of the law. COMPROMISED THE HAY CASE. At a meeting of the State Board of Trans portation this afternoon the matter of dis puted hay rates between the board and the Elkhorn road was taken up and settled. The Elkhorn proposed a compromise and the board , after going Into executive session for ten or fifteen minutes , accepted It an the best way out of the difficulty. * ( V , pcto.bcr 1 the road raised the rates that had been In .force since 1887. The Hoard of Transpor tation ordered the old rates restored , mak ing the order effective January 1C. Since that date the road has Ignored the order of the board and has Kept the now rates In force. Neither parly would recede , and so botli agreed to split the difference. The road has agreed to content Itself with one-halt of the proposed ralso In rates. For Instance , jwhcro It raised the rate 4 cento over the old Tale they offer a compromise In the shape of a 2-ccnt raise , and so on , The board accepted the compromise without a dissenting voice , and the new rates arc to go Into effect on March 12.

"NOT GUILTY" THE VERDICT BROUGHT IN Meeting Between the Acquitted .Man and His Faithful Wife , , JUDGE TUTHILL'S CHARGE TO THE JURY It WHS Fair to tlio Ciuisn of the Accused Man ICager CrouiU Thronged the Court lloom and Hulled the Kcmilt with Joy. CHICAGO , March 8. The happiest man on earth at 0:35 : o'clock this evening was Daniel Coughlln , when the clerk read out the words ; "We , the Jury , find the defendant , Daniel Coughlln , not guilty. " A warm Hush went over .his face , which before had been a deadly white. Ho half rose In his chair and was the next Instant pushed baclc by Attorney David , the law partner of Mr. Donahue , who has so stoutly defended him throughout the long trial. Then with n rush that almost swept the happy man off his feet , , newspaper men and old-time friends of the prisoner before his trouble , came upon him in a body nnd nearly wrung Ills hands off. "It's all right , boys ; all right,1' gasped Coughlln , as ho reached for three or four hands at once. "It's all right , boys. .1 won't forget you , You treated mo all right. " Then the prisoner worked his way up to jury box and shook hands with as many of the men ns ho could reach , but the crowd was too much for him , and yelling and cheering to show Its delight , It pushed him away from the box. Ho gave up the effort to greet the men who have given him free dom , and In company with the bailiffs started to leave the room , passing behind Judge Tuthlll's chair. Just as he was directly behind the Judge a cry of. "Mako way there ; open up a passage ; make way ! " was heard , and two stalwart bailiffs pushed through the crowd , and cloao behind them , her hat awry , her veil half up and gasping with sobs that choked' her , came Mrs , Coughlln. Dan was striding to liberty as though ho wore sovcn-leoguo boots , GREETED BY HIS WIFE/ 9 "Dan , como back ; hero's your wlfo , " called the ofhcers , and Coughlln retraced hlu steps. Just at the foot of the little flight of stairs leading up to the Judge's rostrum ho met his wife. The woman gave an Incoherent cry , her arms went up , fastened themselves around her husband's neck , and then she gave way utterly. She only said : "Dan ! oh. Dan ! " but nowhere , not oven In Dan Cough- lln's heart , was there such joy ns In the boHom of the little woman who clasped tight her husband and felt him hcra again. Coughlln bent hlR'blondo head until his mus tache , swept her cheek and the two rocked to and fro until the woman was able to stifle her emotion , and "the'h Blia tins led a\vny by Coughlln's father , who was happy-\enough to dance a jig , but gave his entire attention to his hat , which he kept putting on and taking off with marvelous rapidity. In a few min utes he , with Mrs. Coughlln , who by this time Was radiant , left the room. Attorney Donald Donahue , who , with ox- Judge Wing , defended the prisoner , was the recipient of a shower of congratulations from friends and fellow attorneys. "It Is Just as I expected. The verdict could not have been otherwise. I will ac knowledge that It was an agreeable surprlso to mo to got the verdict this afternoon. I would not have been surprised If the Jurors had remained out eighteen or twenty hours. Hut it Is Just as well that they decided when they did , for they could have reached no other conclusion If they had been out a week. " Neither Prosecuting Attorney Bottum nor Associate Prosecutor Scanlan would express in opinion as to the verdict. "It was a sur prise , " they both asserted , but further than that they declined to talk to Interviewers. An attempt to Intcfvlew the Jury In the court room was not productive of good results. "I can't tell a thing , " said Juror Sharp , [ ilcasantly. "Wo all agreed not to talk or ? lvo any names , and I cannot say anything. " "That's right , " broke In Foreman Hois- inan. "Wo have agreed wo would not say i word to the papers , It would not be a fair thing. I will say ono thing , though , " , iald the foreman , with n broad grin , "I am lust about as happy to get away from this thing as Daniel CouRhlln over was. " "That's what , " salt ! Sharp , emphatically. The Jury was at once taken Into the olllco if the county clerk , where warrants for their [ iay wore glveji them and the Cronln trial A as out of court and Into history for good , JUDOE TUTIIILL'S CHARGE. Judge Tuthlll's Instructions , which were lulto long , were for the most part o i general nature , very few or the specified charges handed In by the counsel being usoJ. I'ho court Instructed the Jury that It was not Incumbent upon.the defense to Intro- luco any evidence tending to provo the Innocence - nocenco of llourko , Coonoy or O'Sulllvan. lolntly indicted with Coughlln , on thu charge if conspiracy , and that thu absence of such , jvldenco must not bo construed an evidence ) of their guilt , nnd an Inference drawn thereby of the guilt of Coughlln. Ho re minded them that the latter was alone upon trial and that ovldcnco touching his Inno- 3cnco or guilt was alone to bo considered In iho formation of a verdict. The court then went on : "Tho jury Is In structed that It Is not claimed by the state .hat there .la evidence tending to show that the defendant , Daniel Coughlln , directly , took the llfo ot Dr. Cronln. U Is claimed that a conspiracy to kill existed ' , , and that this defendant and the oin'or defendant : } lamed and other persons designated In the ndlclment as "unknown" were parties to' inch conspiracy , and that the purpose of this conspiracy was actually accomplished m the night of May 4 , 18SO. The court Further Instructs you that If the ovldcnco n this case falls to show any motlvo or a sufficient motive on the part of the defend- in t to commit the crime , thin IN n circum stance in favor of his innocunca which the lury ought to consider In connection with all the other evidence In arriving at a verdict. " The following part of the Instructions cforrcd to Mr .
