Four Propositions for the Revenne Are Made. ‘The tariff bill is imcubating under the tender care of the democrats in the ways and means committee and it is said that Some progress is being made. The question of reducing duties and increasing revenues at‘the same time is the perplexing one with which the committee has to deal. The Majority of the conunittee are undoubted- Jy determined to make a considerable re- duction in many schedules which will cut down the revenue to @ considerable ex- nt. ‘There are four propositions for the in- crease of revenue. One looks to an income tax, one to an increase on whisky, one to imerease on beer and one to the Festora- tion in part of the duty on sugar. The ob- Jection raised to the increase in the whisky tax, which may prevent it altogether, is the benefit which the whisky trust will de- Tive from the Increased value of the stock they have already in bond. The increase in the beer tax from $1 to # is more prob- abie. What appears to be the most popular Proposition in the way of an income tax is a tax not on all incomes, but on in- heritances above a certain amount. There &ppears to be an almost unanimous opposi- tion among the majority of the committee to the continuance of the sugar bounty and the proposition under discussion looks to the restoration of a small part of the old | sugar duty—say half a cent a pound. ——_____-e-____ THE BOYNTON INCIDENT.

Spain to Send Troops to the Rescue. TRIBESMEN TO BE FUNISHED. MADRID, Oct. 3—Further trouble has broken out between the Moors and the Spanish garrison at Melilla, a town on the northern coast of Morocco. The Spanish authorities recently decided to add to the strength of their fortifica- tions at Melilla, the state df the country and the acts of the natives, in their opin- fon, warranting such a course. The work of constructing additional fortifications was begun and pushed forward as rapidly as possible. This incensed the Moors, and yesterday morning a force of more than 6,000 natives made an attack upon the Span- ish garrison that numbered, all told, not more than 40 souls. ‘The Spanish troops fought throughout the day without relief being sent to them. They had no food, but this was a matter of small consequence to them, as they knew that death or slavery awaited them should they fall into the hands of their enemies. ‘The Moors were constantly gaining fresh accessions to their ranks, and the outlook was becoming serious for the Spaniards, when the white residents of the town, without regard to nationality, offered to assist them. A civilian corps was at once organized, ard took part In the defense. They were greatly outnumbered by the Moors, however, and were finally compelled to retire into the fortress, located on the outskirts of the town, where they are still besieged. Extent of the Casualties. During the battle eighteen of the Span- fards were killed and thirty-five wounded, including three officers, whose injuries are serious. ‘The Spanish artillery did great execution. ‘The gunners at one time directed their fire upon a mosque, and almost completely de- stroyed it. Other buildings in the range of thelr fire were also destroyed. Northern Morocco has been greatly ex- cited by the news of the attack upon the Spaniards, and the fanaticism of the inhab- tants is being aroused by Mohammedan de- mands for revenge upon the “infidels” for destroying the mosque. The situation is critical and further attacks upon the gar- rison and civilians are expected. The people of Madrid are angrily excited at the news from Melilla. The populace demand that the government at once send @ strong punitive expedition to that port. ‘The government has announced that it will immediately dispatch a warship to Tangiers to demand from the sultan full and instant reparation for the outrages up- on the Spaniards. A Force to Be Sent From Madrid. The cabinet will meet today and it ts expected that orders will be issued for the sending forthwith to Melilla of a strong military force to punish the Mcors. The attacking Moors are chiefly members of the Riff tribes who inhabit the moun- tains in northern Morocco and over whom the control of the sultan {s virtually nil. ‘These natives have before attacked the garrison at Melilla, and it is thought noth- ing but the most exemplary punishment will induce them .to leave the Spaniards alone. To punish them, however, will require the expenditure of large sums of money and much time, as upon the approach of a superior military force they retreat into their mountain fastnesses, from which it is almost an impossibility to dislodge them. ‘The sultan himself has sent numerous ex- peditions against these tribesmen, but the honors between them and the government forces are, if anything, in favor of the mountaineers. Bravery of the Spa Later dispatches from Melilla state thal the Spanish officers displayed the greatest bravery. The town. which is one of the Spanish penal settlements, is commanded by a citadel, which {s built on a rock. After the Spanish troops and their civilian allies were forced by overwhehaing numbers to Tetreat into the vitadel, the Moors atterspt- ed to take the place by ussault. They swarmed up the roadways and tried in every way to scale the walls. The be- leaguered garrison poured volley azter vol- ley into their ranks, but as the Moors did not fight in any regular order the fre w: not as destructive as it would otherwise have been. Gen. Margallo, who was in command of the garrison, especiaily distinguished him- self by his gallantry. Caliing for volun- teers, and nearly every man offered his ser- vices, Gen. Margaili placed himself at their head and made a sortie upon the Moors. ‘The latter retreated, keeping up a heavy fire upon the whites, until the Moors who had been operating on the other side of the citadel came to their assistance, when the defenders were driven back. ‘These sorties were repeated throughout the day, but the Moors managed to eventually hold their po- sition. Before the retreat was made to the cita- del troops were dispatched to escort to the Place of refuge the military laborers who were employed in the work at Fort Guari- ach. They succeeded in getting them into the citadel, but had a hard fight to do so, being attacked on all sides by the Moors. Natives Fought With Fary. ‘The natives were armed with Remington rifles and fought with frantical fury, pay- ing no attention to the showers of bullets aimed at them. They pursued the retreat- ing whites up to the wails of the citadel, despite the deadly fire directed at them from the fort. A small body of cavalry that was well drilled and w dled proved of the utmost service. Toward the end of abandoned their guerilla mode of warfare and formed themselves into ranks. Then shouting their battle cries they advanced upon the citadel. When they were within a short distance of the wall, the heavy main gate swung open and out galloped the cav- airy-men. They dashed into the ranks of the advanc- ing Moors, their keen-edged sabers swing- ing right and left among the enemy, who broke ranks and scattered as hastily as possible. The Moors were ridden down and trampled upon by the tron-shod hoofs of the horses and a number met their deaths ia_this manner. ‘The cavalry which were numerically weak did not dare to pusue the enemy far from the citidel. They rested under the walls and aweited the second coming of the Moors,, who though they had been tem- porarily compelled to retreat were in no way disheartened by the losses inflicted upon them by the horsemen. ‘The cavalry made several charges, al- 's with the sume result. The Moors id retreat until the chase was aban- when they would again assume the sive. ‘The Moors knew that if they would cap- ture the citadel it would have to be by as- was no chance of forcing ender by siege. The place contains magazines and the food supply of the whole convict settlement. Equally of importance is the water which is procured from large rock cisterns. Throw Away Their Lives. efore. with the bravery characteristic of the Riff tribes, they displayed no hesita- tion whatever when their leaders called upen them to face the deadly volleys pour- ed futo them from behind the walls the large citadel. Th 1 an absolute disre- and for danger that compelied the admira- tion of the men lightiag against then.

A gunboat with orders to bombard the strongholds of the Riffians is already on the way to the coast. These mountaineers are practically pirates, most of them know- ing the sea as well as they do the moun- tains in which they live. It was only a short time ago that the Spanish gunboat Isla De Luzon was sent to effecg the rescue of the crew of a Spanish trading vessel which had fallen into the hands of the Riff pirates. The mission of the gunboat was unsuccessful and the fate of the captives has never been known. They were probably sold into slavery in the interior. Among the captives was a Spanish woman. ———___ PALLAS TO BE SHOT. The Spanish Bomb Thrower to Be Dis- gracefully Executed. BARCELONA, Oct. 2—tIt is stated that the supreme counell of war has ratified the sentence of death pronowiced by the court martial that tried Pallas, the anarchist who recently sought to kill Gen, Martinez de Campos by throwing two bombs at him. To make the death of Pallas as disgraceful as possible the court martial decreed that he should be shot standing with his back to the firing party. The lace of execution will be behind Mont Juich. Pallas’ family has visite? him to farewell. He maintained a stolid di until it became time for him to su goodbye to his little children, ° manhood in him asserted itself, and kissing them over and over again, he bade them not to follow in his footsteps, in the mean- time crying bitterly.

IN WALL STREET. Speculators Are Waiting for Senate to Act. Special Dispatch to ‘fhe Evening Star. NEW YORK, Oct. 3—Speculation has dwindled into insignificance and traders are left without a motive for acting in either direction. Washington advices are no longer encouraging and with each day’s Postponement comes new complications and increased uneasiness. There is noth- ing In the situation to attract buyers, hold- ers of long stock can not sell to advantage and the bears are afraid to attack the market while the Senate controls the situ- ation. A narrow and hesitating market is but natural under the circumstances and the business of making values is left in the hands of traders. Initial prices today were from 1-4 to 3-4 per cent above last night’s closing, but prices did not hold well at the advance and showed slight concessions at the end of the first half hour. Rumors of a receivership for Union Pa- cific started a selling movement in that Property, which resulted in a decline of 1 Per cent to 19 3-8. Sugar {s being influenced by fears of con- gressional investigation, but traders who discounted this presumption yesterday were sald to be buying it back today, which re- sulted in advancing the price 1 i-4 per cent to 88 1-2, ‘The industrials were all strong at slight advances, but, as in. the regular list, the Volume of business was small. The clearing house loan committee can- celled $820,000 additional certificates up to noon today and called $720,000 for retirement tomorrow. ‘The regular transactions on the clearing house ran up into larger figures than at any time for months, due if part to pay- ment of October interest. Total exchanges, $11,113,443; balances, $8,191,832, and the sub- treasury’s debit balance, $2,147,828. Sterling continues easy beyond the tm- mediate possibility of gold exports. Posted rates today were 4811-22486, Commercial bills are in better supply and the foreign exchange market generally is more encour- aging than last week. The total amount of clearing house certi- ficates canceled today was increased dur- ing the afternoon to $1,020,000 and amount called for tomorrow increased to $1,250,000. This is one of the good uses to which the banks are applying their immense surplus, as shown in last Saturday's bank state- ment. The total amount of certificates now out- standing is about $23,000 or a million and a half less than the present surplus re- serve held by the associated banks. Money rules at 21-2 per cent for call and 6 Per cent for time, with the supply more than equal to the demand. ‘The afternoon's trading developed nothing to change the character of the market and prices generally showed fractional decline from opening figures, except in the indus- trials, where slight gains were recorded. ‘The London Market.

RAILROAD EMPLOYES. Representative Davis Introduces a Bill for Their Protection. It Provides for 2 Commission to Com- pel the Use of Sufety Appliances mn Trunk Line: The question of protecting railroad em- ployes is brought before Congress in a new shape by the bill introduced by Representa- tive John Davis of Kansas “to establish a commission to compel the use of safety ap- pliances on all railroads engaged in inter- state commerce, and protect railroad em- ployes from overwork and underpay.” One of the provisions of this remarkable bill is as follows: “6. That it shall also be the duty of the commission to inquire into the employment and treatment of all employes engaged in any way in the management and running of railroad trains, to the end that incom- petent men shall not be employed in ré- sponsiblé positions, and that men shail not | be rendered incompetent by reason of over-| work or loss of sleep. The commission shall be very diligent in its investigations as to the facts of men being required or Permitted to do overwork or double duty or to work over time with inadequate time for rest and sleep. The commission shall also ascertain the rate of compensation of employes and require that they shall not be distressed or driven to overwork through inadequate payment for reasonable work. Eight hours shall be deemed the reason- able basis of a day’s work, and where the work must continue night and day with- out ceasing three shifts of men shall be employed instead of two in the arrange- ment of labor. Departures from this rule must be tolerated oniy when in the judg- ment of the majority of the members of the commission such’ departures are abso- lutely necessary and for short periods only, and in no case shall the health of employes or the safety of persons or property be hazarded by such departure. In extreme cases the double crewing of trains may be resorted to, in the discretion of the com- mission, for the purpose of preserving the health and competency of employes for the performance of their respective duties and for the preservation of human life and com- fort. In the arrangement of labor and the payment of employes the rights of the men and the safety of persons shull be deemed paramount and the profits of railroad com- panies but secondary, on the ground that ‘labor is superior to capital and deserves the higher consideration,’ and on the general ground that railroad capitalization is large- ly fraudulent, mainly designed for purposes of extortion and oppression. A BONE OF CONTENTION. Senators Ransom and Vance Disagree About an Appointment. The alleged contest between Senators Ransom and Vance over the nomination of collector of internal revenue for the district of North Carolina broke out afresh this morning in the Senate committee on finance, which has charge of such nominations, and of which committee Mr. Vance is a member. The nomination of Mr. Kope Elias to fill this place was made by the President about the middle of last month, the appointment being credited to Mr. Ransom, who is an administration Senator. Naturally Mr. Vance, who is opposed to the administra- tion on the silver question, 1s opposed to the confirmation of Mr. Elias, but, it is said, places his objections on grounds higher than politics and attacks his qualifications for the important office. ‘There is also a republican side to the con- test, for Mr. Settle, the only republican representative from North Carolina, 1s said to be as hostile to Elias as is Senator Vance. In the event, then, that Mr. Settle is able to command the almost solld strength of the republican vote, and Mr. Vance the silver democrats, {t would appear that Mr. Ellas would have a hard road to travel in Teaching confirmation. Almost the entire time of the committee was consumed today in the discussion of this case, and nothing definite was accom- plished. Mr. Elias was before the commit- tee himself and made a statement; and when the committee adjourned a subcom- mittee, consisting of Senators Vance and Jones | (Ark.) remained to continue the hearing. A full report of all that Mr. Elias had to say was made by a stenographer, and this, in connection with some volum!- nous documentary evidence, will be laid before the committee at Its next meeting. ‘A few nominations were ordered to be re- ported, but no financial questions were dis- cussed. —>-2+—___—— WASHINGTON LUTHERANS.

Special Cable Dispatch to The Evening Star, PARIS, Oct. 8.—The opinton tn Paris re- garding the Franco-Siamese treaty is that | it is mainly designed to operate against | Great Britain. The treaty practically brings the prov- | inces of Battambang and Siemreap and the | fifteen-mile zone on the Siamese side of the | Mekong into the French sphere of influence, while Siam will have to bear the cost of | admmistration and the responsibility of | mainiaining orier. The privileges con- | ceded to France in this region are given | in_perpetuity, ‘The Soir deplores the serious omission in | the treaty to clearly define the extent of the | new French territories on the left bank of the Mekong, which will give Great Britain a chance to step in and claim that | the upper rexion should constitute a buffer | state between Burmah and Cochin China. France thus will be robbed of part of her territory. Other newspapers express similar fears. _ AT A FESTIVAL, Ten Persons Crushed to Death in a Mexican Chure! ST.

LONDON, Oct. 3—Sir Stephenson Arthur Blackwood, secretary of the post office de- partment, died last night. He was a cousin PANIC TALK OF COMPROMISE. Different Propositions Advanced, but No Actual Move Made Yet. ‘The latest feature of the compromise talk in the Senate today concerns the state bank tax repeal. Evidently this proposition has been brought forward to overcome the ob- Jections of the southern democrats to an issue of bonds to swell the gold reserve. It is certainly alluring to some of them, and may even suffice to reconcile them to the obnoxious bond issue, for it is argued that by the re-establishment of state bank cir- culation the national bank system would be crippled, and therefore the proposed bond issue would not inure to the benefit of the national banks. It ts also urged by the promotors of the proposition that by including it in the Voor- hees repeal bill the democracy would carry, out another of its platform declarations. The compromise talx has reached a point where the smallest details are discussed, as indicated by the fact that some Senators are considering whether the reduced sil- ver purchases to be continued, in the event of a compromise, should be fixed at $2,900), 0% per month or at 2,000,000 ounces, thus recalling the deliberations in conference preceding the enactment of the Sherman act. With all this talk of details, it cannot be perceived that there has keen any distinct move toward any actual compromise, and even the Senators who are foremost in the effert to reach a compromise say that no forward move in that direction can be taken unless it is shown by private con- sultation that the plan can command the suppert of the majority of the democratic Senators. If that shall appear, they say, then a caucus will be called and the meas- ure will be brought forward and indorsed as @ purely democratic measure. —-2-+—______— PENSION SUSPENSIONS.

Contagious Disease Hospital. The Commissioners have received through the State. Department a communication from the United States ambassador at Lon- don upon the subject of the location of contagious disease hospitals. He says: “In 1882 the local government board issu- ed, in the form of a supplement to their tenth annual report, 1882, reissued in 1884, @ report and papers by their medical officer “On the use and influence of hospitals for infectious diseases,” from which {t appeared that as regards hospitals for infectious di- seases other than smallpox no injury re- sulted to the surrounding community, even where such hospitals were situated in the midst of large populations, provided the hospitals were administered properly. The experience of the London Fever Hospital was especially striking in this respect. It was, however, different with regard to smallpox, which is especially dealt with in pages 302-38 of the volumes referred to, and also in later reports by the board's medical officer. Among recent reports bearing upon this latter subject the board would refer to one by Dr. J. G. Gornail on smalipox in the borough of Warrington during the two years 1892-83, which has been issued by the corporation of that borough; and to one en- titled “Smallpox Problems” by the medical office> of health for Oldham, which appears in the journal Public Health for August, 1893, published by E.
