Tlicro Is scarcely n member of either
branch of centres * in Washington tonight
who really believes that the tariff bill made
nubile yesterday will over become n law ,
nnil many predict that no tariff bill will
pass tlii ! acnato nt the approaching session.
Publicly the democrats clvo some sort of
support to the measure , but evidently there
Is scarcely ono who will declare it a RODC !
aamplo of statesmanship. It pleases neither
the tarlff-for-rovonuo or the protection demo-
crats. U U neither a rovcnuo measure nor
proposition to protect American Interests.

Thcro Is but n shadow of doubt that the

million dollars n year of additional rovcnuo
to bo raised under the propMsd law. It la
stated on excellent authority that the senate -
ate will rojcut any kind of nn income tax.
republicans will oppose It bceauso it Is a.
war measure and is never ationtoa MI peiee-

catisu thn north would have to n.iy nearly all
of the taxes under it. U would bo class legis

ings banics and co-operatlvu and society
orijiuiizaUonB for the bandit of the common
classes were exempted , and if they ware not
the bill could not pass oilhor house of con
gress. It Is found that the deeper Into the
mensuro the experts RO and the further
statesmen In congress follow the progression ,
us It will bo published , the weaker It becomes -
comes , the more conflicts oncountorod. It
will probably bo forced through the house
by caucus , but it must bo completely re
modeled and rebuilt by the senate committee -
too on lluanco if a tariff bill passes the sen

A duty upon raw sugar now appears to bo
a necessity and it is gcncrallv believed that
the free list will bo decreased , in the Interest -

A great deal of comment was today made
by democrats nncLrcpublicans upon the fact
that both Secretary Manning mid Secretary
Falrchlld , during the Cleveland administra
tion , bitterly denounced ad valorem duties ,
upon the ground that ad , valorem duties
opened wldo the doors to' fraud and that at
least 10 percent of them would bo stolen ,
whllospcclllo duties protected every interest
of the government.

WASHINGTON , Nov. 23. L. C. Monaghan ,
consul at Choineltz , makes a report on thu
income tax In Saxony. Incomes of less than
: )00 ) marks ( { 71,40) ) uru not taxed. In Prussia
Incomes under WO marks ( $314.20) ) are ex
empt. Saxony wants to exempt all below
600 marks ( 1IXUO ) , which would abolish thu
lowest 11 vo grades a't present. The taxes on
these are small , and on three grades are
very small , from 10 to 40 cools. Their re
moval would relieve 43 percent of all per.
sous taxed and reduce the total income tax
only U per cunt.
All these paying the grade jjl tax above
the lowest three grades are voters that is
all wao pay ou Incomes of $113.80 or over. To
take the tax off the Incomes up to f IGiJ.GO , or
off the lowest five cr.idcti. would relieve GO
per cent of all these taxed and oott the state
only 7' % per cent of the totnl Income lax.
The tax comes hoariest on too middle
classes. Incomcsof ? 78."ipay a tax of $13 and
Incomes of $1,400 a tax of fto. Teachers ,
( mull tradesmen and mechanics , the back *
bonoof the nation , Consul Monaghun says ,
pay a tax of fl.G or $10.
The conservatives Ip ( jormany propose to
abolish the tax on the middle -classes and
leave the very high and very low rates.
It la proposed to cover lo sc * by
reduction sou these rates and Increase In the
higher rates on incomes above IS.2S4.SO. Last
year taxes nn increase above this amount
jloldodBOporectit of the total Income tax ,
the rate being : i per cent on the Incomo. An
Increase to 4' ' , ' on tbeso grades would cover
deficits nn lower grades and this proposal it
said to bo a-centabhj to the conservatives.
The Imposition of an Imperial Income tax
on top of this royal or ducal income tax , as
has been proposed , could hardly bo collected , .
Mr. Monachal1 , thinks , and would drive capi
tal from the country. In Saxony small in
comes pay from 1-B to 1 percent , while the
rich pay no more than ! l per cent.
The consul says : "It has worked very
successfully , and has In the main yielded
safe and certain results with llttlo loss and
less complaint. "
Tlio total rovcnuo from Incomes In Saxony
Is M,4i-,711 , ( , the number taxed being 1.303-
UbO. Under the head of Income tax every
thing that comes yearly on the credit side
of n man's account is taxed , with deductions
for interest on debts , insurance and repairs.

WASHINGTON , Nov. 23. Acting Secretary
Curtis has written a letter to the customs
collector at Chicago in which ho says that
the materials entering Into the construction
of foreign government buildings nt Chicago
may bo relieved from the payment of duty.
Foreign commissioners have already been
permitted to enter duty free the supplies
they needed during their term of oulcial
residence , and the acting secretary says the
material referred to may ho admitted to free
entry us belonging to the oftlclal equipment
and outfit of the commissioners. The col
lector at Chlcaeo says that in some cases the
buildings aru so unstable that the vnluoof
tlio materials will not equal the cost of de
struction.

Cruiser Olymplii' * .Murvoloun Speed Show-
lug Oirbimtii Ilnrbaru.
SANTA lUniiAiiA , Cal. , Nov. 2S. It was
shown that so far as she went during tier
trial yesterday the cruisar Olympia worked
to perfection. Every run develops moro
speed and when the oulcial trial trip comes
off there is no doubt In the minds of the
representatives of the Union works on board
that the proud tltlo of "Queen of the
Ocean , " now given to the Columbia , will bo
wrested from Cramp's 'now cruiser of the
ill-knot class by Iho Olympia of tueSO-ltnot
class.
The Olympia made an early start and it
was thought then that the fog would soon
lift from the channel so that she could pro
ceed. At 7 o'clock the Olympta made an at
tempt to got off over the course , but a mist
soon settled down so that the beacons could
not bo soon. After steaming around the
the cnannel for live hours , the fog
disappeared to a considerable extent
and the speedy ship again started at
11:30 : o'clock for the great eighty-six knot
run. The effects of the heavy wind of Sat
urday were not yet over , for the large swells
were rolling against the bow of the cruiser
as she plowed her rapid way toward Point
Conception. Spray How over the ship , nnu
at her bow and stern the SB'S vias churned
Into foam. The engines were making ovnr
140 revolutions and the steam pressure was
greater than 100. On the lirst fuw miles of
the run the speed increased with every few
miles , until the , engines recorded 141 revolu
tions , and the steam pressure wont up to a
higher point. Over the side of the boat the
patent log for thirteen miles showed an
average of SS.fiS cnots per hour and then
crept up to twenty-six knots.
The fog getting thicker soon snut out the
land and it was seen that thu trip could not
bo finished. It was with reluctance that
Captain Ooodal ordered her bow turned
again toward Santa Barbara. The cruiser's
average for thu thirty-mile run was 22.05 ,
according to the actual time between the
land beacons.
Mr. Scott has decided to make another
attempt to complete the odlchil trial before
returning to Sao Francisco.

Case of Importance to Their Industry IJo-
cldeil Hi Favor of tlio Itillroad.
CmcAOo , Nov. 28. In the case of Swift &
Co. against the Philadelphia Hailroad com
pany , Judge Grosscup has sustained the de
murrer. This decision is regarded as im
portant from the bearing it will have on in
to rs tut o commerce litigation. Action was
commenced separately in the state court
more than a year ago for the recovery of ex
cessive charges. These rates have mean
while been paid under protest. The suit of
Swift against the ICcadihg was soon re
moved to the United States courts. The
federal court sustains the demurrer on the
grounds that the state court has no jurisdic
tion to determine the reasonableness of
rates on interstate commerce. There is no
common law which controls rates , and the
common law of the states docs not apply
without these states , Action must here
after go out of thu federal courts to where
the roads have managements located. It Is
believed the pjckcru will make a lost case
of this In the appeal of Swift in the appel
late and if necessary to tlio supreme court.

Nnturo of the Charge , '
IiNCOt.x , No\v23. ISpsclal to THE BEB. ]
The case in which Congressman
MeKolghan of the Fifth Nebraska district
Is accused of attempting to defraud the pro
prietors of the Ltndcll hotel of this city of
a board bill was called In county court before
Judge I. W. Lansing shortly after ilo'clocit
this afternoon , Thu state llrst offered proof
of the criminal nature of the charge , And
then Or. A L , Hoover , senior proprietor of
the Llndcll , was placed on the stand us the
first witness against the congressman. Ho
testified that the llrst knowledge ho had
that the congressman was stopping at his
house was when ho saw his name on the reg
ister. Ho did not romombsr having seen
MeKolghau sljn the register , and believed
that It had boon slgncrl in the presence of
Iho night clerk. MclCetghan canio to
the hotel on December 2U and remained
until January . His ontlro bill for this
length of time was $147.45. Mr. Hoover
stated further that ho extended no credit to
McKclghan in any way whatever , either
direct or Implied. Ho did not know when
he left and was only made nwaro of his departure -
parturo when ho received u letter from
the congressman nt Washington enclosing a
draft for $100. Ho stated also that Me-
ICcighau was accompanied by a frloud named
Miller and that his bill had been charged to
thocongrcssninn for the reason that tlio con
gressman had explicitly informed thu hotel
clerk that Miller was his'guest. The hotel
register was offered In evidence.
Mmfo No Ovorclmrgr.
On cross-examination the defense under
took to draw from Mr. Hoover the admission
thru McICclghan's bill was in reality but
f ! .8o. He denied this , nnd tostlUcd further
that ho had made no overcharge , itnd that
lie hud not charged McKcigluin with n room
not occupied cither by him or his guest. He
stated that it was the universal custom
among hotel managers to charge a man with
the bill of another man after lie had LOCH
introduced as n guest.
Dr. Hoover was asked if it was not a fact
tnnt ho had invited McICoighan to atop at
his hotel. At llrst ho slated that ho had
not , but ho then corrected himself and said
that ho had borne recollection of saying to the
congressman that ho would bo pleased to
have him stop at the Llndcll during his stay
in Lincoln. * Ho was shown the letter in
which ho acknowledged 'the receipt of the
$100 referred to in his direct examination
and ho admitted the signature , lie denied
that lie bad told Mcltcighnu that there was
"no rush" about the matter and that he
could forward the money from Washington.
Inclined to Dlimlss tlio Uaso.
Night Clerk DcDonald took the stand to
establish the fact that McICoizhnn had not
only registered himself , but that lie had in
troduced Miller as his guest. At the con
clusion of McDonald's testimony the attor
neys for the defense moved that the case bo
dismissed. The question was argued
briefly and overruled by the court. Judge
Lansing stated that ho was Inclined to dis
miss the case , but thought it would bo but
ter for all parties concerned to hear tlio evidence -
denco on both sides.
Congressman McKcighan then took the
stand. Ho admitted that he had remained
at ttie Lludell hotel at the tlmq.stated. He
said that when he registered'ho informed
the clcrlt that Mr. Miller of IZcd Cloud
would bo with him as his Ruost ; that during
his entire stay be was sick , and that Miller
was there to take care of him. When Jio
started for Washington ho wished
to take bis wife nnd daushjter with
him , and had barely suflielent funds
with him to enable him to do so. Ho
stated this fact to Mr. Howard , the day
clerk , and asked if it would bo satisfactory
if ho sent the money from Washington. Mr.
Ilowar J called Hoover from the dining i-ooia
and after being acquainted with the propo
sition , Hoover assented , and said that it
would bo all right. When ho got to Wash
ington ho forwarded a draft for ? 100.
Ucorgo W. Blake , at that time chairman
of the independent state central committee ,
corroborated the statements of Mr. Mc-
ICeighan , asserting that ho had overheard
thu conversation between Chief Clerk
Howard and MuICeighan and afterwards
,
if lie would forward the money from Wash-
Icctoii it xvould bo all ri'jfht.
The ease was then adjourned until 9 o'clock
tomorrow uiornlni ; .

Gorham Bolts , the convicted asylum
boodlcr , is still in the Lancaster county jail
in spite of the strenuous efforts of his friends
and attorneys to secure bis release. This
forenoon his attorney , W. B. Price , filed
with the district court n motion for a now
trial in which ho claimed that although
Uotts was given the usual forty days'in
which to take an appeal to the supreme
court ho had not boon ublo to secure u copy
of the exceptions taken by his attorneys aud
a transcript of the evidence. Another forty
clays was asked for and granted aud still ho
wag unable to pay the court reporter for
making up the record in the case. The
statutory time in which an appeal to the
supreme court may be taken has expired
and there is no relief for the prisoner unless
the district court will grant him a now
trial. Judge Strode has taken tlio matter
under advisement.
Attorney I'rico offered a bond for ? 2,000
for ttio release of tils client pending the
order for a new trial. Judge Strode de
clined to approve the bond for the reason
that it contained allegations which wpro
not true. Uotts is still in Jail.

Barrett Scott heard something drop in the

It was simply a decision dcbylnit his applica

compelling him to remain In Jail till tried in
event ho is still unable to secure bonds for
the JTO.OOO ball fixed in his case by Judge
Kincald. The syllabus of the court's do-
cission is :

New Youic , Nov. 2S. The family of Au
gust M. Scriba. who committed suicide on
Sunday in a Golden Gate lodging house in
San i'Vancisco , is well known in central Now
York. Nearly all of Oswego county was
owned by members of his family , the bound
ary line of their property bolus the center of
Oaclda lake. Suits arc now pending to es
tablish the ownership of at least a portion of
the property formerly held in their name.
The town of Scriba , N. Y. , was named after
the family and the homestead in Constuntia ,
on the border of Oneida hike , Is still occu
pied by George Scriba , a cousin of the dead
man , who is a llshcruiau and guido qn thu
lake.
Suits are now pending to establish the
Scriba claim to the ownership of a portion
of Oncidii lake itself. Tills property was
formerly owned by the grandfather of the
dead ex-bank examiner. The house is filled
with historical records , books , etc. , brought
from the other side , and in spite of ttie
poverty apparent , the utmost refinement is
shown.
Ttio family also has a largo claim against
the government in the matter of French
spoliation claims , and it is said at least f 100-
000 is now lying In the treasury awaiting
satisfactory proof on the part of the sur
viving members of the family.
NEW YOHK , Nov. 28. Considerable anxiety
is felt in the United States district at
torney's ofllco hero to make certain if the
person who committed suicide in San Fran
cisco last Saturday is the same Scrioa who
examined the Second National bank of Now
York In 1881 and made the discovery whioU
led to John C. Eno's flight to Canada in
that year , nnd whoso testimony was ex
pected to prove of great assistance to the
government in the prosecution recently in
stituted against Kno.
A request has been made to the San Fran
cisco authorities to leave no doubt us to the
identity of the man whoso body Is now lying
there in the morguo.
