The Outlook for the Bond Issue
Decidedly Blue.
THE TREASURY BEING DRAINED.
Washington, Nov. 20.—All that is
necessary to start the machinery of tin
interiiai revenue bureau for the collec
tion of the income lax in an appropria
tion by congress to provide for the em
ployment of additional deputy collect
ors. All the new regulations have been
formulated by Commissioner Pugh, but
they will not be made public until Jan.
I, w.ian the law goes into effect.
While this law more explicitly de
fines the incomes which shall be subject
to Use new tax, there are many loop
holes for technical evasions, and for this
reason the work of preparing instruc
tions to collectors has been exceedingly
difficult. The instructions issued in
1807-08 were compressed into a two-
page circular.'but the greater scope of
the present law has necessitated more
sweeping directions, to checkmate false
r, ’ urns and other fraudulent attempts
to evade this i Hundreds of de
ci.- ous have been made by the courts
upon appeals from the rulings cf asses-
h"i < under the old law, and the ma
jority of them have more or less bear
ing upon the interpretation of the now
statute All these decisions have been
carefully arranged and summarized for
the instruction of the collectors.
The incomes of corporations having
been made subject to a tax. it is expect - I
ed that the bureau will experience con
siderable difficulty in obtaining accu
rate data, as the incomes of individuals
interested in the corporations tire likely
to lead’to mneh confusion on the part
of the taxpayers. It is this feature of
the law that has called for the closest
study. Tiie prt cedents established un
der the old statute, it is believed, cover
all'of tbo technical protests that are
likely to grow out of the taxing of the
individual incomes, so that there is lit
tle fear that the government will not
realize, with comparatively small trou
ble, the full amount of the tax from
this source.
The blank returns for individual and
corporation incomes have been prepared
and on each is printed the exemptions
allowed under the law. The exemptions
have all been arranged in simple form,
so as to obviate all possible confusion on
the part of the individuals and corpora
tions who are called upon to make the
required statements.
The blanks are said to bo entirely dif
ferent from those used when the old law
was in force. The new regulations and
blanks for the returns are locked up in
tho office of the internal revenue bureau
and as they have not been submitted to
Secretary Carlisle for his approval, it is
not expected that they will be put in
printed form before the middle of next
month.
The estimate made by congress that
the income tax will net the government
$.'10,000,000 in revenue annually is be
lieved by experts of thb internal rev
enue bureau to be very low. The earn
ings of corporations have beau carefully
scrutinized, and it is expected that the
amount realized from this source will
not he less than $40,000,000, and may
possibly reach $50,000,000.
The arrangement of the machinery
for the collection of the tax was left by
congress entirely to the internal rev
enue bureau, and a plan governing all
the districts of the country has been ar
ranged.
It is now believed that the estimate
of Commissioner Miller that it will re
quire $500,000 to execute this feature of
the law will be more than sufficient, al
though it is altogether probable that
congress will be asked to make an ap
propriation for this amount.
STEM REFUSED,
And th* Authorities Will Sell HU Wod-
ding Suit for Duty.
Cincinnati, Nov. 20.—Attorney Ar
thur Stem, whose wedding clothes were
seized by the United States authorities
and placed in the hands of Appraiser
Schute, has absolutely refused to pay
the duty on them.
The authorities at Washington were
informed of Stem’s determination and
an effort is now being made to find the
“friend” who brought them over. It
is regarded as a plain case of smuggling
and nothing will be left undone to find
the guilty parties.
The clothing will be sold at auction,
and the money which it brings will be
applied to the payment of the duty.
Whatever is lacking the local authori
ties say Stem will bo compelled to make
good.
Mr. Stem is soon to marry Miss Mary
Halstead, daughter of Murat Halstead.
His wedding outfit was made in Lon
don.
Saturday by Senator Goodwyn,which is
as follows:
To the Joint Convention of the S
and House in Session, November
We, the undersigned mem tiers ot the gen
eral assembly of Alabama, rcsjK-ctiuily
protest against the counting of the vote
for state officers in the counties of Autau
ga. Bulloch, Barbour, Bussell. Macon,
Montgomery, Lowndes, Dallas, Wilcox,
Monroe, Perry, Hale, Greene, Sumter and
Marengo. We offer this protest on ac
count of the monstrous frauds committed
in the election of August, 1894. whereby
the resnlt of said election frauds was to
defeat and reverse the will of the people
ns truly expressed at the ballot box.
Captain Kolb says, in regard to the
disposition of the memorial:
- “The speaker of the house, who pre
sided over the joint convention, ruled
Senator Goodwin out of order and or
dered him to take his seat. The speaker
even called upon tho doorkeeper to seat
tlie senator. JTiius the constitutional
rights of the people were trampled upon
and a solemn protest of 44 of yonr rep
resentatives was not permitted to go on
I record.
! "The official count, as declared by
| the speaker, gives Oates a majority of
| 27,583. Election frauds committed in
1 tin-counties named In the protest of
i Senator Goodwyn, of which we have
i po-itive and sworn evidet.ee, would be
be more than sufficient to wipe out all
tiie majority claimed for Oates.
He then declares his purpose iu the
following to tiie people of Alabama:
The foregoing considered aud in view of
existing conditions in Alabama. I have
determined to discharge my full duty to
the people of Alabama. 1 will not fail to
respect the pledges which 1 made to the
people who have given their confidence
and stood by me so heroically and de
votedly during the past four years. You.
fellow citizens, have twice elected me gov
ernor of this state, and this time, by the
grace of God, aud the help of the good
people of Alabama, 1 will be governor.
Dec. 1 is the day fixed by law for the inau
guration of governor. On that day 1 shall
be in Montgomery for the purpose of tak
ing the oath of office and my seat as gov
ernor. And I hereby call upon the good
people in every part of the state to aid me
in all proper and peaceable methods to up
hold the law and set aside t ho power of
traitors and usurpers in Alabama.
I appeal to my friends and supporters
from all parts of the state to be iu Mont
gomery on Dec. 1, 1894, there ami then to
give me their aid and support in a lawful
and peaceable manner to vindicate their
liberties. I counsel against any unlawful
demonstration, but ask the presence ami
co-operation of free men in a necessary ef
fort to enforce the law and carry out tho
will of the people.
Reuben F. Kolb.
Governor Jones Firm.
Governor Jones, when shown the ar
ticle wherein Kolb says that, by the
grace of God, he will take his seat on
Dee. 1, quietly remarked:
"William C. Oates has been elected
governor by the fairly expressed will of
a majority of the people of Alabama,
and has been so declared by the general
assembly, the only tribunal which ha-,
the right or authority, under the consti
tution, to declare the result. It is my
duty to see that he lie dn’y installed,
and, by the grace < f God, no will be. I
do not anticipate that any number of
men will heed Kolb’s advice, but if they
do, the consequences will bo on their
own heads."

WOMEN DRINKERS.
Nsw York Dry Goods Stores Afford Mao
upportunities for nettle* Tipsy.
Nr.w York. Nov. 30.—The retail
grocers of New York and Brooklyn feel
bitter towards the dry goods department
stores that hava introduced groceries,
urines aud liquors in their houses, and
| they are using as th keynote of their
campaign the charge taat the depart
ment stores are placing before their wo
men customers an nnnsnal temptation
. to indulge in-alcoho.ic stimulants.
Henry F. Clapp, grocer, of Brooklyn,

IT, 1- i-l: tri bifora u* xt ^ at unlay. This amenut, was iu one of these* drygoods depirt-
r.dded to the gold already withdraw u,
will cover the first instalment on the
new bonds.
The action of the New York banks in
refu-ing gold to their depositors who
de sire to file bids is certain to lead to a
general raid on ihe reserve. Iu view of
the assurances held out to the president
that the government’s gold would not
be nsad to buy the bonds, the treasury
is surprised by this specie hoarding by
the banks. It is understood on high
authority that Mr. Carlisle has received
word from New York that the banks
will release some of their gold, but the
secretary declines to say anything ’on
the subject.
If the banks do not agree to help the
treasury out, it would not surprise the
department experts if the loan proved to
be a comparative failure. The February
loan narrowly escaped being a failure,
aud it was only through the efforts of
President Stewart of the United States
Ti'iist company that the issue was fin
ally subscribed. Within three days of
the date fixed for the opening of the
bids, the prospects on file at the treas
ury department were several millions
below the amount of issue. It looks as
though Mr. Stewart will have to step
iu again to carry through this loan.
Ti»e failure of the bond issue would
be a source of infinite satisfaction to
the Democrats in Congress who are op
posed, under any aud all circumstances,
to any increase in the government debt.
The failure of the loan might lead to
graver complications that would give
tho bankers no end of uneasiness.
There is little doubt that a silver bill
will be introduced at the coming session.
Senator Voorhees is credited with hav
ing a free coiuage bill “up his sleeve,”
and Bland aud the other silver advo
cates may be relied upon to cause some
••high old times" in the house.
Senator Cockrell is said to be primed
for an attack on President Cleveland
aud his alleged assumption of the pow
ers of congress in authorizing a new is
sue of bonds for a purpose not contem
plated by the law of 1875. If the bond
issue proves a failure tha silver men
will be quick to turn it to their ad
vuutage.

Washington I'rosprct.
Washington, Nov. 20.—The first
Democrat to give notice that he will'
contest for a seat in the next house is
Colouel F. A. Stevens, the millionaire
of Stevens’ Point, Hoboken, who ran iu
the Seventh district. Mr. Stevens’ cam
paign was, in tiie main, directed by his
ambitions little wife. She attended
many of the meetings, aud suggested
many little schemes iu the interest of
the ticket.
Colonel Stevens, on the morning
after election, acknowledged that he
was defeated, and accepted the situa
tion gracefully. Mrs. Stevens was not
satisfied, ahd brought her eloquence to
bear on her husbahd to have him make
a contest, and refused to accept any
negative answer. In consequence, a
recount of tha vote is to be made. Colo
uel Stevens will furnish bonds for the
expense, will employ counsel to watch
the count, aud on the evidence secured
will make the contest.
It is said the contest will cost him
$20,000, but Mrs. Stevens thinks that a
picayune compared to being defrauded
out of two years of Washington social
life. It is said that she has declared
that $50,000 would not be too mnch to
expend to unearth the frauds that are
alleged to exist.

Atlanta, Nov. '20.—The squabble
over the election of a congressman in
the Tenth Georgia district has been
settled.
J. C. C. Black, the incumbent who
received a majority of 7,000-on the face

offer to arbitrate, proposed to submit
the matter to a second election next

ceptance of this proposition.
Mr Blaok will take his commission,
bnt will resigu March 4.
The following was submitted by Mr.
Black and accepted by Mr. Watson as a
solatiou of the difficulty:
I will take my commission as a member
ot the Fifty-fourth congress. But I will
resign it, the resignation to take effect
March 4. 1895, whenever Mr. Watson will
agree, within the time allowed by law for
notice of contest, to refer the matter back
to the people to determinedly a new elec
tion who shall represent them in the Fifty-
fourth congress. I name that date, to-wit:
March, 4. 1895, for three reasons: t. My
term wmild not commence till then: 2. It
is desirable to postpone a new election as
long as possible to let feeling subside and
in view of s municipal election in Augus

Mr. Black states that he does not be
lieve the right to snch proceedings is
vested in them, as individuals; it is not
a personal right, bnt a trust delegated,
and therefore the people should settle
the matter.
A Hark Conspiracy.
Philadelphia, Nov. 20.—It is be
lieved here that the fraud on the Fidel
ity Insurance company of this city in
volves even a deeper crime. The de
tectives are working on the theory that
the corpse found iu the CallowhUl street
house was that of a victim of murder.
All the circumstances point to this the
ory. The officers think that after get
ting a man to insure himself under the
name of Pitzell, he was put oat of the
way. Holmes and the real Pitzell then
stepped forward and gathered in the
insurance.

A Creditable Appropriation by tho Leg-
lntnro Assured.
Atlanta, Nov. 20. — Twenty-five
thousand dollars is the amount which
the house finance committee thinks the
state should put into a Georgia exhibit
at the Cotton States and International
exposition. .
At the meeting of the finance com
mittee Monday afternoon this was de
cided upon, and the committee gave to
the great enterprise its hearty aud un
qualified endorsement.
This insures, practically, a state ex
hibit on which $25,000 will be expend
ed, and that will make it one, not only
of which every Georgian will be proud,
bnt one of inestimable value to the
state in every way.
Iu the house, the committee on fi-
nanoe has killed the resolution provid
ing for the formulating of a bill to issue
state bank notes to the amount of $500.-
i 000, the report of the committee
j being adopted.
The penitentiary committee of the
honse, after listening to appeals from a
number of citizens or the state, unani
mously passed the following resolution;
Resolved. That the committee desires
to put itself on record as to the necessity

criminals, and declares that such an in

This resolution was followed by the
selection of a subcommittee to frame a

M. CASIMIR-PERIER.
Hnw ths Nsw President of Prunes Appears
In Public.
After the tragic death of the late M.
Carnet at the hands of an assassin it
must needs be a brave man who would
fill his place. Snch a man in M. Casi-
mcr-Pcrier, the new bead of the French
government. On a bright Sunday iu
October it was rumored about Paris that
the president would attend tiie rate* at
Lougchamps, in the Bois do Boulogne
The French, auxious to see how M. Cas-
imer-Perier boro his uew honors, and
the foreign element of Paris, eager for
a sight of this conrageona successor to
kings aud emperors, were out in great
unmbers.
Early in the afternoon the Champs
Elysees, tho Avenue Bois de Boulogue
and the maiii roads of the bois itself
were thronged with spectators. Evi
dently something nnnsnal was going
on. The stranger was courteously in
formed that it was not a parade; that
the president wonld shortly pass by on
his way from the races. j
A detachment of the mounted guards
of the republic, in their glittering ar
mor, was grouped iu a picturesque man
ner aronnd the great base of the Arc de
Triomphe. At every few yards police
were stationed, from the Palais de Ely-
see to the race course, a distance of sev
eral miles. Thousands of people lit:od
the streets, aud hundreds of cabs drove
slowly back and forth, though half ot
tho way was kept constantly clear by
mounted officers. Among the notable
Americans seen in the crowd were Dr.
Evans of Empress Engenie fame, iu his
private brougham, and Miss Sybil San
derson of the grand opera, in a hand
some viotoria. The bystanders were
most patient, many of them waiting
hoars. Every neck was oraned, every
eye was turned toward the bois. Judg-
ingTrotn tho amount of preparation and
excitement, it might well have been the
great Napoleon himself whom they ex
pected. Presently a starHiugright greet
ed the beholders. It was in the shape
of a bright red conpe drawn by a Chest
nut horse. The people langhed and jeer
ed in their light hearted French wav, N
while the lone man in the vehicle grin
ned in a self satisfied way. Clearly it
was not the president.
A moment later a oaptain of the gnard
spurred down the avenue, followed in
quick succession by several mounted
privates. The way was instantly oleared,
the gay coupe disappearing down by a
bypath, and the four horsed open car
riage of M. Cosimir-Perier drove rapidly
out of tne Bois. The president, a dig
nified, fine looking man in the prime of
life, was accompanied by his wife ahd j
two gentlemen. There were two flunkies )
on the box seat iu white livery and j
two footmen iu the rear. The president ;
lifted his hat courteously; bat, strange j
to say, there was no cheering such as
greets the Prince of Wales in London |
or our own executive at home. It rc- j
mained for two foreign ladies, English
and Americau respectively, to throw :
the only flowers which M. Casimir-Pe- ]
rier received in all that crowd. With j
real republican enthusiasm, these young j
women rose up in their cab and tossed, I
with true feminine aim, a bunch of
carnations. All but one fell to the gronud
aud were crushed by the wheels of his
carriage, bnt the last alighted on the
lapel of the presidential coat. It was
qniekly handed to him by an observant '
lackey. M. Casimir-Perier graciously !
accepted it, bowing his thanks, and waa
speedily driven from view.—Cor. De

NORTH DAKOTA’S NEW BUG.
Nobody Know* What Industry It Has
Come to Destroy.
A strange insect has made its appear- j
anoe in North Dakota in large numbers
and has been the source of much specu
lation as to its character, habits and
name. It has been seen for many weeks
past in myriads in certain localities and
is now met with, as it has made ita
presence felt for weeks past, in stores,
offices, barber shops, hotels and on th*
trees and walks. Where it came from
aud where and when it will go are yet
unanswered questions. Professor Wal
dron of the state experimental station
at Fargo says it is closely allied to the
chinch bng that haa caused millions of
dollars’ worth of damage dnring ■ cer
tain years in Minnesota and other stateo.
He is of the opinion that these bugs
came from South America, where most
of their allies live.
The insects were first notioed in this
portion of the state about the middle of
August at Spiritwood lake. The bags
were seen iu all stages of growth—from
the red coated young to the black winged
adults—hanging in clusters from the
limbs and in large numbers on the
tranks of the trees. The next instance
known of their presence was on Sept.
20, when tbonsands of the yonng were
found in the timber at the junction of
the Pipestone and James rivers in this
city. Nearly a dozen patches of the
yonng, varying fonr or five feet to 60
feet in diameter, were discovered. The
wingless larva-, crimson in color, were
several deep and formed a writhing
mass. A few fnlly developed bogs were
noticed among the young. Thousands
-were seen on the brash, logs, trees and
stones. The insects, while in the larval
state, remained in this locality for about
two weeks and suddenly disappeared.
The adult bug is a little less than
half an inch in length, is dnll black in
color, with small red markings, and has
four wings. The first pair are leathery
at the base and membraneous at the
tips. Its mouth consists of a single
sacking tube, so that its living is ob
tained entirely by sacking. The young
are similar to the adults, except that
they are red and are wingless With the
growth of wings blaok markings appear.
