THIS WEEK IN CONGRESS.
nree Days to Be Given to the Income
Tax by the House.
McMillin, of Tennessee, to Open the
General Debate-Leaders Who Were
Silent on the Tariff to Be Heard From
on the New Issue-How the Ways
Iteans Committee Came Out on the
Tariff Bill-
Washington, Jan. 28.—There will be a
cessation for a brief period of tariff talk
In the House, and the members will ad
dress themselves for three days this
WC ek to the mysteries and perplexities
and pros and cons of the income tax ques
tion The McMillan bill upon this subject,
reported to the House from the committee
on ways and means last Wednesday, will
to-morrow be submitted as an amendment
to the Wilson customs bill, so as to unite
jn one measure all the schemes
for raising revenue aside from the sale
O! bonds. The general debate on this
proposition will occupy Monday and
Tuesday, with night sessions, as has been
the rule for the past three weeks; and on
Wednesday the hill will be considered
under the five-minutd rule for amend
ments. The general debate will be opened
by Mr. MeMillin, of Tennessee, the author
of the measure. Some of the leaders of
tbe House, who have taken little or no
part in the tariff debate, will-doubtless be
heard on this proposition. Speeches are
expected from Messrs. Bland, Cox, of
Tennessee, Williams, of Illinois, Pence,
tbe democratic populist of Colorado,
and others, in support of the income tax.
an important amendment.
Mr Pence will propose to amend the
bill bv the adoption of a graduated tax on
incomes, running from 2 to 10 per cent.,
and which he believes will produce over
IlL'O 000.000 of revenue, instead of $30,000,-
000 the estimate of the pending bill.
The income tax bill includes provisions
for a tax on playing cards, and an In
crease of the tax on whisky, with an ex
tension of the bonded period from three
to five years. Mr. Montgomery, of Ken
tucky, prepared a part of the committee’s
report relating to the whisky tax, and in
case it is deemed necessary to further
explain the reasons for the increase to
the House, Mr. Montgomery will perform
that duty.
After the votes shall have been taken
in committee of the whole on Wednesday
afternoon on making the whisky and in
come tax schemes a part of the Wilson
bill, the latter will be ready to be reported
on Thursday to the House for ratification.
Before the final vote is taken, however.
Messrs. Reed, Wilson and Crisp will ad
dress the House on the general subject of
tariff and revenue, the text being the per
fected bill. It is likely that a vote will
not be reached until late cm Thursday,
and possibly not before Friday.
ONE AMENDMENT UNACTED ON.
When the committee of the whole
House arose at the expiration of the ses
sion Saturday afternoon, but one amend
ment proposed by the committee on ways
and means remained unacted on. It was
one proposing to increase the duty on
barley and barley malt from 20 to 30 ad
valorem respectively to 30 and3s percent.
It failed of passage because of lack of
time, and Chairman Richardson said that
he should hold that it was pending, but
whether or not that would be the judg
ment of the speaker of the House he
could not say.
The bill has been considerably changed
since >t was reported to the House several
weeks ago. and not always in accordance
with thedesires of the committee on ways
and means. Two or three of the defeats
the committee has sustained have been
notable, but they retrieved one of them
yesterday in re-establishing the time
when the free wool and manufactured
wool schedules should go into effect. The
House committee of the whole had de
cided in favor of Representative Tom L,.
Johnson’s motion to have both go into
operation on the day- of the approval of
the bill. Yesterday the ways and means
committee got the dates restored as pro
posed by them -free wool Aug. 1, 1894 —
manufactured wool Deo. 1,1894.
THE SUGAR BCHEDULK.
Another defeat, from which the com
mittee did not recover, resulted in plac
ing all sugars, raw and refined, on the free
list, and abolishing the bounty at once.
Inis was the most important incident in
the discussion of the bill.
All attempts to take iron ore, coal and
lumber from the free list were unsuccess
ful.
Among the more imjiortant changes af
fected by tlie text of the bill as reported
were the following:
Increasing the duty on all diamonds

mugh.ao per cent, cut, and 35 per cent.

Dr. R. V. Ptrrcs : Sti —I have a boy who

both the senators from Tennessee, will
take occasion to reply to Mr. Chandler’s
attacks on election methods in their state
before the debate ends.
Hawaiian relations are still an open
question in the Senate. The resolution re
ported from the committee on foreign af
fairs declaratory of the sense of congress
in the matter is still pending. Nothwith
standing the fact that the report was
almost unanimous, It appears that some
of the republican senators, following
in the lead of Mr. Allison,
find the first section, declaring
against annexation at the present time, is
objectionable to them. So it may be that
the resolution, which at first promised to
pas3 speedily, will continue to occupy the
attention of the Senate for some time, and
particularly is this probable if an issue is
raised by the Dolph amendment request
ing the recall of Minister Willis, or by
Mr. Vest’s insistence upon his amend
ment materially modifying the language
of the section touching annexation.
FAULTS OF THE VAULTS.
The Treasury’s Big Storage Places
Far Behind the Times.
Washington, Jan. 28.—A commission of
experts appointed under an act of con
gress of Sept. 30, 1890, to investigate
the safe and vault construction of the
treasury department, have submitted
their report.
The vaults in the big treasury building
are "characterized as a disgrace to the
government, and of such an obsolete char
acter and inferiority of construction and
minimum of security, as would cause
them to be rejected as unfit for
use by any country bank in a
backwoods town. The commission,
which was composed of Robert
H. Thurston, of Ithiea, N. Y.; Theodore
N. Ely, of Altoona, Pa., and Francis Pratt,
of Hartford, Conn., have made a thorough
test of tho various safes and systems of
vault constructions. In the opinion of the
commission it would be wise to replace
every vault in the treasury department as
early as practicable, with more modern
and safer < on trt c ions.
THE GUARD Or MEN.
Continuing, one commissioner says:
“The real safety of the treasury lies in its
system of guards and police protection, a
somewhat costly, but a very effective
system, where, as here, the num
ber employed may be made so con
siderable that their sudden attack
and capture, or their bribery,
is rendered improbable, or perhaps quite
impracticable. Any system which keeps
the deposits under the eye of any consid
erable number of persons is the safest
possible against all hut mob violence.’’
The commission, acting in accord with
the treasury officials, recommends a com
plete and absolutely satisfactory re-con
struction, as far as practicable, the build
ing of additional vaults, and
the introduction of a suffi
cient number of modern safes in the
redemption bureau to accommodate the
department for many years to come. It
is thought this work would cost 1500,000.
The sub-treasury in New York was
found to be more satisfactorily protected
than the treasury in Washington.
EARNINGS OF RAILROADS.

LOUISVILLE SOUTHERN.
The Road Going Into the Drexel-Mor
gan Reorganization.
Cincinnati, 0., Jan. 2S.—President S.
H. Felton, of the Louisville Southern
railroad, also tbe executive of the Cincin
nati Southern, says that the former com
pany will go into the Drexel-Morgan re
organization with the East Tennessee,
Virginia and Georgia, despite rumors to

THE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY, JANUARY 29. 1894.
LURED TO SUICIDE BY LOVE.
A Georgia Girl Takes Laudanum and
Goes to a Church to Die.
Augusta, Ga., Jan. 28.—Miss Lizzie
Turner, .a beautiful lady 26 years old.
daughter of A. B. Turner, a well-to-do
farmer of Emanuel county, near Durden
ville, was found dead this morning in an
old deserted chapel in a lonely and dreary
spot, two miles from Augusta over in Car
olina. She committed suicide by taking
laudanum. She left no note telling of
her troubles that led her to commit self
murder, but it is believed she was disap
pointed in love. Miss Turner has been in
Augusta two months visiting her
aunt, Mrs. Tom Laird. She left
her aunt's home yesterday morning
and Mrs, Laird had been greatly dis
tressed hy her absence and was greatly
shocked when she heard the sad news.
Mrs. Laird says she has noticed her niece
looking very despondent and despairingly
for the last two weeks, and questioned
her as to what troubled her. Miss Turner
would not admit having any sorrow
to worry her. No one saw the
young lady cross the river, and
the finding of her body this morn
ing was accidental. Some boys went to
the chapel to play, and they were fright
ened at seeing a rigid corpse lying on a
bench, and sounded an alarm. Miss
Turner expected to return home soon, and
on Friday she told one of her lady friends
she would rather die than go. She took
four ounces of laudanum and had been
dead fully twelve hours before she was
found.
The coroner of Aiken county will hold
an inquest in the morning, and the body
will be taken to Durdenville for inter
ment.
Miss Turner was a pure, smart and in
dustrious lady, and had many friends here
who were horrified over her self destruc
tion. Had she traveled the world over
she could not have selected a more obscure
place to have ended her life, and she must
have gone there hoping not to be seen or
ever found.

IT IS SURELY COMING.
The Question Is: “Are You Prepared?” If
Not, Some Very Valuable Advice is Vol
unteered.
An epidemic of the grip Is certain to be gen
eral throughout America in a very short time.
Already many cases have been observed by
physicians In New York city, as well as in
other cities of the land. Dr. Cyrus Edson. of
the New York Board of Health, says that the
disease wIU manifest its presence generally in
the very near future, and that it is already
here more than is generally realized. He said:
"I think we will have a grip epidemic soon,
and there are indications that it will be along
siege. While Ido not want to create a scare.
I would warn people to beware of it and to use
all the precautions possible. Experience has
shown that carelessness in habits and irregular
hours render the system too weak to stand so
violent a disease. Grip finds easy victims in
old people and in debilitated persons."
There is but one thing for any man. woman
or child to do when the slightest symptom of
grip appears, and that is to counteract it at
once. If you feel tired, have pains in the
musses and bones, have a dull headache, a
bad taste in the mouth are feverish, have no
ambition or appetite, you must, if you desire
to escape the grip, at onoe take a good pure
stimulant. This alone can counteract the
coming cn of grip, kill the microbes of the
disease and restore you to health While
there are many so-called stimulants, there is
but one which is pure, scientific, and recom
mended by physicians universally. This is
Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey. Do not be de
ceived by any druggist or grocer who may try
to induce you to take something else. Re
member that the reason usually Is that he can
make more money on cheaper and inferior
articles.
TAMPA IMPROVEMENTS.
The Plant System Is Making a Good
Many There.
Tamps, Fla., Jan. 27.—Next Wednes
day there will be a feast for Tampa people,
as the Tampa and Thonotosassa railroad
is completed and everybody has been in

lake region is one of the most beautiful
sections of this county.
The big dredge, Pico—built especially
for the Plant line of steamers, is throw
ing out sand in immense quantity at Port
Tampa. Even with this powerful ma
chine at work, it will take it quite a
while to dig a channel 200 feet wide and
24 feet deep for half a mile, to the beach,
so that vessels can have a
landing on terra firma. The dock
thus made will give a great deal
more satisfaction, as it will facilitate the
handling of freight to a better advantage
when two or more vessels are in at the
same time.

ing its curved bridge over Hillsborough
river at this place, and is putting in the
frame work for anew one, crossing the

soon be completed. Four solid brick
pillars are set in a row, the center ones
being the largest. The two big gates are
hung to the center ones, and to the outside
pillars the two small ones are swung,
making an attractive entrance to these
beautiful grounds and magnificent hotel.
The gates alone cost Mr. Plant SSOO.

Glass Works Strikers Beaten.
Beaver Falls, Pa , Jan. 38—The places
of the 125 striking employes of the Enter
prise Glass Company have been supplied
by new men, and the works are again in
full operation. Some of the strikers are
leaving town, while others are trying to
secure reinstatement with their em
ployers.
Says a Paris correspondent: “A curious
case is now under discussion by the council of
state, whieh Is not without Interest to the
United States, inasmuch as it may possibly
result in the bequest of some s£o,ooo or }3O UflO
to one or the other of the transatlantic scien
tific societies. About a year ago a rich old lady
died here leaving to the Institute of France a
legacy of $30,000, to be given to the person of
no matter wnat sex or nalionolitv who could
find mesne of communicating with any star or
planet and receiving an answer therefrom. The
old lady herself suggested Mars as the planet
offering the best chances of success, and the
astronomers at the various observatories in
France set to work, but have hitherto toiled
In vain. The institute has now placed the
question In the bands of the Const'll d'KUt.
which will have to decide whether or not the
legacy should be accepted. In the event of a
refusal, the bequest Is. incompliance with tho
Instructions contained In the lady s will, to be
offered to the Institute of Milan, and if the
latter Is unable to comply with the conditions
it Is then to be placed at the disposal of sci
entific societies in Ibe Uulted states. In the
hope that some ingenious American may dis
cover means of solving the problem of com
munication with the inhabitants of tbe plan

A woman has teen digging for a title In the
cellar of a St. Louts saloon lately, but so far
as reported sbe Has not found It. In 1882 she
married in Minneapolis a man who asserted
that he was a Russian nonleman, and had
been compelled, for political reasons, to for
sake his native country and ancestral es
tates. he said that when he oamotolhri
country, in 1878. be had been driven by stress
of circumstances to officiate as barkeeper in a
St. Louis saloon, and that he had burled in
the cellar the papers which would prove his
Identity and rights. A few months ago he
died, and his widow Is looking for the pre
ctous documents which will prove her rights
to a Russian title. She may find them, but
few people think so.
Nothing is sacred to the manufacturers of

WEATHER SYNOPSIS.
A barometric trough extends from Min
nesota and the upper lake region south
ward to the Gulf, with a well defined
storm, of moderate intensity, central in
lowa and a second disturbance of consid
erable energy, central in the middle gulf.
At 8 o’clock p. m.. snow was falling in
Western Missouri, Eastern lowa, Minne
sota and in the upper Michigan penin
sula.
Threatening weather and rain prevail
along the gulf coast, in the lower Missis
sippi valley, and in all sections east of the
Mississippi south of the 36th parallel.
Generally fair weather prevails in the
New England and Middle Atlantic States,
in the Ohio valley, Nebraska, South
western Kansas, Arkansas. Western Ten
nessee, and Northeastern Texas. An area
of high pressure is passing off the New
England and Middle Atlantic coasts. A
second high is moving iu from the ex
treme northwest. The highest point
reached by the mercury to-day at Savan
nah was 56°, and the lowest 36° ; the mean
temperature was 46°, or 8° below the nor
mal. P. H. SMTTn,
Observer Weather Bureau.
AND STILL THEY COME.
A Baker’s Dozen of Tramps Escorted
to the Barracks Yesterday.
Judge MaeDonell will probably be call
ed on to stop the civil business in the city
court to-day long enough to dispose of
about thirteen more gentlemen of leisure
who have been troubled for the last few
weeks or more with an inability to find
work.
Detective Morgan took in eight tramps
from different parts of the outskirts of
tho city yesterday morning, and last night
Willie Edy, one of the spotters, brought
iu five more in oue of the county wagons
which has been placed at Detective Mor
gan’s disposal for tbe purpose of bringing
in these vagrants. There was just an
even thirteen of them resting in the bar
racks last night, and they all seemed to
be unaware of the evil omen in the shape
of the unlucky number that was hanging
over them. In all probability they will
all be given a good job on the canal to-day.
THE MAYORALTY.
Dr. Duncan Says the Use of His Name
for the Office of Mayor Is Un
authorized.
Savannah, Ga. Jan. 28.—Editor Morning
News: Referring to tho article in refer
ence to the mayoralty in this morning’s
issue of your paper, permit me to say that
I appreciate very much the good will of
m.v fellow citizens, and the conftdenca
which has been reposed in me, but the use
of my name as an aspirant for the mayor
alty is wholly unauthorized. 1 am not con
nected with any schemes or combinations
looking to political preferment of any
kind, either for myself or for anyone
else, and all intimations to the contrary
are utterly without foundation.
