A number of short stories.
Thav Will Appear in the Morning:
News Weekly This Year.
\Ve will present in next Sunday's 1
; e of the Morning News “The Bogle
of the Wishing pate,” the first of a
series of short stories from the pen of
Edgar L. Wakeman, entitled “Tales of
Ten Travelers.” to appear weekly in our
columns during all of the present year.
Mr Wakeman. who has earned world
wide fame as the “poet-traveler,” steps
from his many years of “Wanderings" in
all civilized countries into the broader
land of romance like an old and ever
welcomed traveler there. We almost
hear the voice of Hawthorne, of Irving
and of Dickens in this quaint and mellow
argument to his tales:
•We are Ten Travelers. There is the
Merrv Traveler, the Morose Traveller,
the Clerical Traveler, the Gipsy Traveler,
the Chronic Traveler, the Casual
Traveler, the Student Traveler, the Aim
less Traveler, the Commercial Traveler,
tht' Vagabond Traveler. How we came
to know each other is no matter. We
meet at times at my own apartments in a
uuaint old inn. Besides a cavernous fire
place. in which countless now sightless
eves have for centuries peered In a pleas
ant way we re-live our pilgrimings, or re
count those romances of others which
have touched our hearts and tarried
there. In this old room, with its brown
rafters, decrepit floor and little high
dormer windows, like the port-holes of an
old frigate, we seem to become almost
one in this kindly companionship. We are
so much one that when my guests have
departed, I sit here by the old fireplace,
where friendly voices and presences
linger, and set down as best I may the
pleasant tales that have:been told.”
Any lover of good literature must read
the “Bogle of the Wishing Gate” with
happy anticipation of the ample feast to
come. The story is a remarkable one, not
only for its scholarly fidelity' to history
and tradition, its utilization of a curious
pagan-Christian custom still in vogue, its
exquisite descriptive passages and its
glimpses of quaint humor and character,
but also for that masterful employment
of those literarv unities which measura
bly leaves upon the mind of the apprecia
tive reader that sense of enlarged knowl
edge and pleasure always derived from
the perusal of some great work of fiction.
The story will also appear in the Weekly
News.

A CLASH IN THE COMMITTEE
The Outcome of the Income Tax Fight
Still in Doubt.
The Administration Influence Sup
posed to Have Been Thrown Against
Putting the Tax on Individuals—The
Outlook at Present Points to Restric
tion of the Tax to Corporations.
Washington, Jan. I.—The democratic
members of the ways and means commit
tee met at the treasury department at
8 o'clock to-night to finally decide upon
the income tax question and the internal
revenue features of the tariff bill. There
were prose tit Chairman Wilson and
Messrs. McMillin, Breckinridge, Mont
gomery, Bryan, Tarsney, Cockran, Stev
ens, Whiting and Turner.
Mr. Bynum, of Indiana, was the only
member absent. He excused himself on
the ground that be was indisposed. His
absence prevented a vote on the income
tax question, and, after a session of three
hours, at 11 o’clock the committee ad
journed until to-morrow at 4 o'clock.
THE DISCUSSION GENERAL.
The discussion to-night was general,
covering the entire question as to how
the deficit in the revenues was to be met.
The issue between the members is
whether the income tax shall be upon in
dividual incomes or simply upon incomes
from corporations. When the committee
adjourned ten days ago, the general un
derstanding was that they were divided,
five and five, with Judge Turner of Geor
gia holding the balance of power. The
weight of the administration's influence
was thrown strongly against the individ
ual tax proposition, and this was made
apparent to-night by the manner in which
it was attacked by those who are par
ticularly supposed to represent the ad
ministration's views.
COCKRAN AGGRESSIVE.
Mr. Cockran, of New York, was persis
tent and aggressive. He made five
speeches, in all of which he contended
that the necessary reveuuecould be raised
from a simple taxation of incomes from
corporations. Ha produced figures to
show that a one per cent, tax on the in
comes from corporate investments would
produce a revenue of $40,000,000, but
those who favor the individual income
plan, maintain that not over $13,000,000
could be raised in this way.
Incidentally, the details of the other
internal revenue features, the proposed
increase on whiskey and beer, were dis
cussed, but they were all pivoted on the
decision of the main proposition, it heing
conceded that if the tax were to be levied
against individual incomes increase from
the other sources would be unnecessary.
THE SUGAR SCHEDULE.
Although sugar has been placed on
the free list by a majority vote the
democratic members of the committee,
the question of restoring it to the duti
able list as a revenue article, alsogut some
figure in this evening's discussion. Noth
ing, however, was decided, and when the
committee adjourned, Chairman Wilson
said thataithe situation was absolutely
unchanged.
The prevailing impression after the com
mittee adjourned was that the advocates
of the individual income tax were less
sanguine than they were ten days ago,
and the feeling seemed to be that when
the vote was finally taken, probably to
morrow, a majority of the committee
would be found against it. Judge Turner,
it is understood, gave no indication to
night as to where he stood, but it is inti
mated that one of the other members,
who was considered an advocate of the
individual income tax, is wavering, and
may turn up eventually on the other side
f the proposition.
A RAID ON ANARCHISTS.
The Police of France Search 10,000
Houses in a Night.
London, Jan. I.—A dispatch to the Cen
tral News from Paris says the police of
France searched the dwelling places of all
supposed anarchists during last night.
They visited 10,000 house s in all, and ar
rested a number of persons, chiefly in St.
Etienne, Lyons, Marseilles and Paris.
Among the arrests made in Paris was that
of Elie Reelus, brother of Paul Reclus, the
alleged accomplice of Auguste Vaillant.
Elie Reclus was liberated this afternoon.
THE ARRESTS AT LYONS.
Twenty-four arrests were made in
Lyons, among the prisoners being many
ex-convicts. A large quantity of anar
chist pamphlets wore seized. Meunier,
the anarchist lecturer, who was lately
imprisoned in Angers for fomenting
strikes, and three other anarchists were
arrested in Brest.
In Montlucon a quantity of explosives
was seized and five persons were ar
rested.
Police Commissary Clement raided tlio
office of the paper Pere Peinard, in Mont
martre this morning, and seized the ma
terials for Tuesday’s issue, besides a
quantity of manuscripts.
THE RAID AT ROUEN.
Nineteen houses were raided at Rouen
and vicinity. An anarchist named Mar
tin was arrested in the last named place.
Martin’s arrest is considered an impor
tant one. A number of letters in his pos
session were seized.
At Havre eleven houses were searched
and five persons were arrested. In one
instance stolen bonds valued at 16,000
francs were found. The raids against
the anarchists were made simultaneously
all over France, in accordance with a spe
cial order from the minister of the interior.
M. Ra.ynal.
MANY EXPLOSIVES FOUND.
In Grenoble a charged bomb was
found.
In Commercy the police found sixty
three cartridges charged with dynamite,
273 cartridges charged with grisoutine,
110 cartridges charged with composite
gunpowder, twenty-four meters of fuse
and twenty-nine detonators.
In Nice, nineteen houses were searched
and fifteen Italian anarchists were ar
rested and ordered to be expelled immedi
ately.
It is expected that sixty-four of the
total number arrested will be detained.
There are about 1,450 anarchists still
wanted.
The arrests in Paris and its suburbs
numbered thirty-four.
BURNING OF THE BENEOA.
Spontaneous Combustion the Theory-
Accepted at Havana.
Now York, Jan. I.—The steamer Yu
muri arrived from Havana to-day. Capt.
; Hanse says the fire on the steamship
Seneca is supposed to have originated in
the hemp in the forehold, and in Havana
the theory of spontaneous combustion is
widely held. The ship lies in the mud
with her hurricane deck just awash.
Capt. Hansen does not think it will bo
difficult to raise the Seneca, where she
lies, in good condition. None of the officers
would make any statement concerning a
rumored plot against the Ward line.

gency has arisen in your city for the en
forcement of the proviso to section 10 of

judgment of the state board of control, do
not enforce this law the state board may
withhold the part going to said
town or city, and use it to pay
state constables, after the first day of
January, 1894, and until further notice,
such proportion of the dispensary profits
coming from Columbia will be withheld
by the board and used to pay state con
stables in the enforcement of the law
made necessary by the action of the
authorities of your city as shown by the
action the city council on Friday night in
even refusing to consider the matter.”
The governor says he can easily main
tain six or seven constables in this city
with Columbia’s profits.
Communications were to-day addressed
to the municipal authorities throughout

state board by the loth inst.. whether
they intended to m ike their policemen
act as constables. The county boards
were also instructed to notify the state
board by the '2oth inst. whether to ex
pect the co-operation and assistance of
the municipal authorities.
BERESFORD’S HOLIDAY.
The Convict Boss Discharged for Hie
Part in the Affair.
Atlanta, Ga., Jan. I.'-—An executive
order was issued to-day cutting off the
official head of Capt. Crabb, the convict
boss at Kromer camp, who figured in the
escapade with the notorious convict, Lord
Beresford, last week. Crabb went to
Americus after a lot of prisoners. Lord
Beresford wanted to go over to Americus
to have a tooth fixed, and he was allowed
to put on a citizen’s suit and accompany tho
captain. At Americus Capt. Crabb took
Beresford to the hotel and let him sleep
without any restraint, registering as
Crabb and friend. Subsequently the
pair were reported to have gone into a
saloon together, where “Me Lud” set ’em
up. When the reports were brought to
the governor’s attention he ordered Prin
cipal Keeper Jones to investigate them.
He did so, reporting to the governor this
morning that the reports were true.
W. B. Lowe, one of the lessees, was
cited to appear before the governor. He
showed that Beresford was sub-let to G.
V. dress, and that he was in no wise re
sponsible for what he had done, as he
understood it was authorized by Mr.
Gross.
Gov. Northen then passed the order
discharging Crabb and another citing
Mr. Gress to come before him and show
cause why he should not be fined, as the
law provides, for violating the peniten
tiary regulations.

The Augusta Southern to Crouss the
Central’s Tracks.
Augusta, Ga., Jan. I.—President Jack
son, of the Augusta Southern railroad, re
ceived a telegram to-day from Manager
Thomas and Attorney Phihizy in Wash
ington. D. C., stating that Justice Jack
son had granted the Augusta Southern
the right to cross the track of the, Central
railroad at Tennille. The Central had
torn up the Southern's track where it
crossed thoirs, and before replacing it
they applied to Justice Jackson forties
ruling on the question.
An amusing incident occurred .lorday in
the negro military observauc i of emanci
pation day. There was a dispute between
two companies as to which should heaU
the parade, and the decision not being in
accordance with the views of the two
companies they seceded from the parade
and had a little parade all by themselves,
headed simply by a kettle drum,, while
the rest of the crowd had a brass band,
carriages, etc.
The aunual rejiort of Augusta's fire de
partment shows that tires destroyed only
$15,000 worth of buildings and SII,OOO
worth of personal property last year; a
total of $20,000. There was upon it $19,000
insurance, leaving a loss to the property
holders of only $7,000 last year in Augusta.
