PRESIDENT'S ' SALARY EXEMPT Income Tax Does Not Reach the Head of the Nation , HILL MAKES A POLITICAL PROPHECY Eayn If the Prmcnt 1'ollcy In IVntMcd In There Nrirr Will llo Another Demo cratic Prrnlilrnt ( liillcrlcn Ap plaud Ilir Ilcnmrk * . WASHINGTON , June 23. The half hour usually devoted to miscellaneous business In the senate was today occupied by Mr. Call with a resolution providing for a committee of five senators to Investigate the control or senators and representatives by corporations. He made a brief speech on the subject. Mr. Sherman salt * he was willing that th Investigation should bo allowed so far n Florida was concerned , but he did not think It was just to make It EO broad and sweeping os contained In the resolution. The matter went over and the tariff bill was taken up. Mr. Hilt took the floor. He said that yesterday would be known In history a * populist day , alluding to the speeches of Fcnators Kyle and Allen. He raid that nt > attempt had b < .en made to attack the repeat of the state bank tax or to enact a free coin ( ige bill In this bill , bath of which are en dorsed by many democrats and considered a part of the platform , while especial efforts , liad been made to go outside of the platform to Incorporate the Income tax In the bill. Nether < > other system of taxation opened such a broad field for fraud and evasion and none offeree such temptations. If the tax were to be Imposed there was no reason why the exemption should be $4,000 when In monarchical countries where this tax was levied the exemption was but $750 nnd even down to $271. Was It to compen- fatp for the high cost of living here ? He believed that the higher the exemption the harder would It be to defend this tax. HILL OFFERS AMENDMENTS. Having spoken nearly two hours Mr Hill rave way to Mr. Galllnger , who also opposed the Income tax. Then Mr. Hill offered the amendment limiting the exemption of tax to Incomes less than $3,000 , which Mr Vest had offered yesterday on behalf of the finance committee , but which he afterwards with drew. Lost. 30 to 38. The vote In detail Is as follows : Yeas Aldrlch , Carr , Chandler , Davis , Frye , Galllnger , Hlgglns.

Mr. Hill then moved to reduce the ex emption to $2,500 ; lost. 25 to 33 Mr. Hill then reoffercd the Vest amend ment to reduce the exemption from $4,000 to $3,000. Lost.,30 to 38. Mr. Hill then offered an amendment to change the date on which the income tax provision of the hill should go into effect from January 1 , 1893 , to January 1 , 1896 Defeated , 6 to 41. An amendment by Mr. Hoar to Include judges of United States courts In the exemp tion from the Income tax was agreed to with out objection. Mr. Sherman Inquired whether any esti mates had been made as to the probable yield of revenue from this tax. Mr. Vest replied the general estimate was $30,000,000 , but he did not believe any accurate estimate could be made. _ Mr. Hill proposed an amendment to exempt ( he salary of the president from the Imposi tion of the tax , and used this amendment ns a text for criticising In a semi-humorous way the action of the finance * committee In exempting the salaries of federal judges. He failed to see , he said , why the salaries of judges should be exempt , and he thought if compliments were to be paid one certainly WHS due to the president ; besides the presi dent happened to bo a resident of New York , and the tax would fall with an especially heavy hand on New York. DID NOT SPEAK WITH AUTHORITY. "I am not authorized to speak for the president , " Mr. Hill said , with a smile. "In this or any other matter , but this would be a delicate compliment to one citizen of New York and I think the committee ought to accept the amendment. " "While Mr. Cleveland Is the last demo cratic president wo shall ever liavo from New York , " said Mr. Vest , rising to his feet , "the appeal Is almost Irresistible. " ( Laughter. ) "If you persist In this species of taxation , " said Mr. Hill , turning to him. "he will be the last democratic president from any itate. " The applause In the galleries that greeted this utterance was quickly suppressed by the vice president with a vigorous use of the gavel. When the amendment was put It was carried by a viva voce vote. Mr. Hill then moved the Interest on United States bonds ( excepted by the provisions of the bill ) be subject to the provisions of the Income tax. At 4:10 : , without voting on the amend ment , the senate went Into executive session , and at 4:20 : adjourned. NKttS roil THE AIIMV.

Millers Have I'lcnty of Time to ( Set Tlour to Culm. WASHINGTON. June 23. The notice of the Intention of the Spanish government to increase considerably on the 1st of July the duties on a large number of American prod ucts entering Cuba under the reciprocity- treaty has created a great commotion among exporters and particularly among the ship pers of wheat nnd flour , who found them selves caught unexpectedly as they thought with large contracts for future delivery , which could not be landed In Cuba before the date when the new duties were to be Im posed In this case they flood to lose heavily on their contracts , as they would be obliged to pay the higher duty. Appeals have flowed Into the State department from the west particularly , begging the govern ment to Intercede to protect these shippers. Mr Uhl , who Is acting as secretary In the absence of Mr. Gresham , telegraphed Min ister Taylor at Madrid upon the subject and has received a reply that , according to the Spanish minister of state , the Increase In the Cuban tariff canot be voted before July 1 , If at all.

ST PAUL , June 23. The murder of J. H Clapp , salesman for W S. Dennis & Co. , by Ehle Allen last night In a quarrel over a woman Is the most sensational affair which has occurred In the northwest for some time , on account of the prominence of the princi pals. Young Allen Is the son of Colonel Allen , prop-Ietor of the Merchants hotel , has acted as the clerk of that Institution for years and Is probably as well and favorably- known to the better class of the traveling public as any man In the country The crime Is rendered more sensational by the mystery which surrounds the relations of the parlies In the affair and the motive for Kb commis sion From stories told by witnesses it ap pears that the young woman , a Ml s Lule Leyde , and Mr Allen hau been living to gether for the past few months In rooms op posite the Metropolitan hotel as "Mr. and Mrs. Moore. " Shortly before midnight last night Miss Leyde and a female friend were passing the Metropolitan when they were in sultingly accosted by Clapp The woman ran across the street to where Allen was standing and Clapp followed. Then the tragedy occurred. Allen without further provqcatlon drew a knife and slashed Clapp across the throat so seriously that he bled to death within twenty minutes. There are hints that there are deeper and more sen sational motives for the crime than are yet made public. Allen and the Leyde woman were arrested and placed In/jail. Allen's version Is that he had driven up to the Metropolitan In a cab. He had dismissed the cabman and was leisurely walking along Fourth street , paring his finger nails with a pocket knife , when Clapp accosted the Leyde woman on the opposite side of the street The woman ran to him for protection and Clapp followed. In an altercation following Clapp drew a revolver and Allen struck at him , not thinking of the knife he held In his hand. He claims he did not know he had cut the man until after he was dead. Miss Leyde's story substantiates that of Allen. She confirms his assertion that Clapp had drawn a revolver. Other eye witnesses , however , deny that he had made any hostile motion. The fact that he still held a half- , burned cigar between his fingers when he staggered Into the hotel corridor and sank Into a chair after the cutting is a strong point in contradiction.

A scene that brought tears to the eyes of those who witnessed It occurred yesterday afternoon at the morgue , where lay the body of Joe May field. Joe Mayfield was colored and years ago he married a white woman. They have lived together through , thick and thin. She never faltered In her devotion to her colored husband and he never mentioned the color line to her. : t About six years ago they moved Into a- thatched shanty at Thirteenth and Lake streets and the neighbors say they lived an extremely happy life. No children were ever born to them. When the wife heard that something had befallen her husband she fainted , and when she revived the first question she asked was , "Where Is he ? " Yesterday afternoon she went to the morgue and , accompanied by Ell Glsh , went Into the basement to bee the remains. They were on a cooling board and the moment Mrs Mayfield Eaw the face she threw her self upon the corpse , passionately kissing the face. It required three men to take her from the spot , she being a very large and muscular woman. Half a dozen times be fore the door was reached she attempted to break away from those who- held her. The Investigation Into the death of Mayfield - field has not progressed any. Police de tectives looked Into the matter , but learned nothing new. Coroner Maul wants an au topsy held , but will not order one unless the county commissioners agree to pay the bill County Physician 1)1)thin ) said that he would make the post mortem If the commissioners so ordered. There Is not a mark or bruise of any kind on May field's body and the gen eral opinion Is that death was caused by heart disease. This was the verdict of the coroner's jury. U Is certain that the body- was not robbed , for the knife , keys and money that MayPeld was known to have were found In his pockets. \VI11 Molt OmutiH.

INGALLS ACABTIN POLITICS Eloquent Kansas Statesman Will Advocate Republican Principles This Fall. i IN THE CAMPAIGN- FOR BUSINESS IiKllrutloin tlint HoVII1 Miikc : i Deter mined liriiirt to lUlnrn to 111 * Vent In tlio hen iti Illicit I'if- tcr'H ' 1 inn lisping. TOPEKA , Kan. , June 23. ( Special to The Dec. ) Some little Interest Is manifested In Kansas political circles o\cr tlie part that ex-Senator Ingalls Intends to take lit the coming campaign. The worthy Mutc-smaii did not show up ct the late republican state convention , but It had no sooner adjourned than his name appeared on the Copclund register and ho was In touch with the newly ilsctcd state central committee. It was re ported at the time , but not confirmed , that he ottered his sen Ices for the campaign. Later the story was heralded abroad that he had received an Oder to assume editorial control of a big eastern magazine , and later the story was revised to make It appear that the flayer of Vcorhces may Identify himself with one of the eastern metropolitan dallies. In the meantime and notwithstanding these varying rumors the state committee has met and to It J. M. Chlsham of Atchl- * cn mudc a format tender of Mr. Ingalls' services In conducting at leu-it two rallies In each of the seven congressional districts. Joe Ady , J. H. Burton and the other senator ial aspirants were not at all pleased with the tender , for they knew too well that It betokened a desire to again serve his state at Washington. They were still less pleased when the tender was accepted and the way thus opened for Mr. Ingalls to work up sen timent In his own Interest. Evcrythng tends to the conclusion that Ingalls will make the race If the feelers that he Is putting out Indicate to him that his chances are good Two years ago , In the course of his big speech In Topeka , he said , In referring to the then approaching senator ial elect on "I want to say to > ou all that I am rut a candidate not now My scat In the senate Is not vacant. When it Is , If I desire to return , I will tee thfi people of Kansas again In regard to the matter. ' As recently as last fall Mr. Ingalls an nounced In the course of an address at Horton - ton , this st"tc , that he had no desire for any office at any time , either then or In the future , but he had Colonel Djn Anthony along to announce .mmedlately after the ad- dreis that "Mr Ingalls has no right to saj that he Is not a candidate When the people of Kansas need him they will call on him and he will serve. " Mr. Ingall'i. seat Is not yet vacant Peffcr will occupy It for two iears more but he Is evidently convinced that the people of Kan as need him , ank ( desires an oppor tunity to convince them'of the fact REPUBLICAN PltdgPECTS BRIGHT. Kansas seems destined to go republican this year. The fusion , between democracy and populism that all out wiped out a ma jority of $0,000 four yfears ago , and that transformed It Into JL .minority two years ago , will not be repeated In 1 ! > 94 The de feat of the republican , party , v.hen that d < ? feat means the continuation In power of the present populist administration. Is not now so ardently desired by democrats as to out weigh al other considerations But even weie the democratic fcarty In Kansas willing on general principles' assist In another defeat of republicanism , the action of the recent populist convention on the woman suffrage question woilhljallenate the bulk of the democratic vote and tend to the nomina tion and. , support of , anetralgbt-out bourbon democratic ticket. And , witha straight-out democratic tlck'et In tffa flefo republican sue- ! cess Is certain , forithe pojiullsta have always lacked 23,000 votes"of a plurality. The public utterances of such democrats as David Overmeyer , ex-Governor Click. United States Attorney Perry , Tulley Scott Joe Lowe and United States Marshal Neeley all go to show that there Is no other Inten tion this year than the nomination on July 3 of a straight democratic ticket , on a plat form which shall declare against woman suffrage , prohibition and all other Issues. Not a single democratic leader can be found who has a good word to say of the populist platform or who ventures to sug gest that It may be endorsed by his party- Even the strongest fuslonlsts of two years ago are pronounced In their advocacy of the nomination of a democratic ticket. A few have rather hinted that George W. Clark , the populist nominee for justice of the supreme court , might possibly be endorsed , but the suggestion has created such a storm among the rank and file of the party that there Is little probability that Mr. Clark's name will appear on the democratic ticket. The Paola Spirit , one of the leading democratic papers In the state , In commenting on Clark's nom ination last week , said * BETRAYED HIS PARTY. "For four years he has held office under a populist attorney general , claiming all the wh le to be a democrat , and using this claim to get into democratic councils , and then posting his populist "keepers on democratic doings. The time has come for real demo crats to shut the door In the face of alleged democrats of the George Clark stripe " The Topeka Democrat treats the matter In about the same manner. That this sentiment among democratic leaders against fusion , even on Clark , is shared by the lesser lights In the party Is evidenced by the action being taken by the democratic county conventions throughout the state. Several Important conventions were held Saturday and all declared strongly _ ealnst fusion. In Bourbon county only such men as W C. Perry and J D McClevcrly were/ elected as delegates and every sugges tion of fusion was shouted down In Sallno county the following resolution was unani mously adopted : "We emphatically denounc ; the craze for woman suffrage as Injurious to good morals , detrimental to the welfare of the state , a step twenty centu ries backward in the progress of the world and a ruinous and destructive legac ) to succeeding generations " As the populist platform Includes an endorsement of equal suffrage , this resolution Is equivalent to a declaration of war against populism. In Coffey county all delegates were positive ! } Instructed to vote for straight democratic state and congressional tickets , and the cen tral committee was ordered to call a count } convention for the nomination of a straight county ticket. - ' " - With all this feell 'agalnst fusion partially provoked by the signal failure of the populist administration to perform a single creditable act , but duo more to the endorsement of woman suffrage by'the' populist convention , there Is scarcely ' , a possibility that the enemies of the repytillcan party can unite If they do not uniteA"ho republican plurality this fall will be 25.01-0 votes ; if they should unite , the chances or republican success will etlll be good , but tli contest will be a close and bitter one. , ' ( _ PALMEIv/OWNS UP.
