A SIMPLE PLAN PROPOSED. “The question of raising revenue for the Present,” said a prominent democratic official, who has given years of study to the revenue question, to a Star reporter, “lies between an increase of the whisky tax and | an issue of bonds. The financial problem before Congress so far as it relates to the raising of internal taxes,” he said, “ts an | urgent one.

YALE AND PRINCETON. Se Odds of 2 to 1 Offered on the Blue. GREAT POT BALL GAME AT NEW YORK oo SEE ce, One Bettor Confident That the Tigers Wouldn't Score, SCENES AT THE GROUNDS. NEW YORK, Nov. 30.—The weather this morning was bright and clear and every- thing seemed to point to a fierce foot ball contest when Yale and Princeton would “line up” on Manhattan field at 2 o'clock this afternoon. . Both teams were in the best of condition, both were equally sure of winning and Princeton promised to fight as she had never done before. It was predicted that the play would be quick on both sides.

The fundamental difficulty with the Propesition to meet this exigency by the imposition of an ircome tax of any sort Cr pt. Picking Tells of Disturbances in Parts of Brazil. is that the tax would recessarily fall upon future inccmes and would yield nothing during the fiscal year 1894 and would not, in fact, be readily collectable until near the close of the fiscal year 1595. Expense to Colleet an Income Tax. ‘Meanwhile much expense would have to be incurred through the appointment and fitting out of a very large number of new officials and the preparation of costly and elaborate blanks needed for the assessment of an income tax. The official corps would have to be large enough to cover the whole country and investigate not only the affairs of those whose incomes would be beyond the taxable limit, but all other incomes also. “All this outlay would have to be made and everybody's business and personal affairs pried into with a view to receipts the first of which could not reach the treasury for at least fifteen to eighteen months from this time. Meanwhile the emergency for which the increased internal taxation is required will have passed away. If the democratic theory of revenue tariff be not radically wrong, within a year from the taking effect of the new system the govern- ment receipts from customs will be ample if not redundant, and there will be no cur. rent deficiency to supply. The income tax Propesition therefore necessarily one to defer the ing of larger revenues until a time when we will not need them. It is to be assumed that Congress would not think of putting a tax upon incomes already earned and spent. Even if it were consti- tutional no legislation could be more unfair than this. For example, it would be a cruel hardship to expect a man who having an income of $5,000 had regulated his affairs accordingly and disposed of the whole of it to mortgage his future by borrowing $200 to pay the debt imposed by such ex post facto legislation. Were the passage of such a Statute possible the Supreme Court of the United States would make short work of it. A Demagogical Idea. “The fundamental objection above set forth applies not only to the general in- come tax upon all unofficial revenues or earnings larger than a fixed sum, but also to all other income tax propositions, such as the one for taxing the incomes of all cor- porations. This idea is demagogical and founded in ignorance, however eminent the reputation of its proposers may be. The corporation is no longer the manager of very large enterprises merely. Many lines of business are conducted by corporations as limited Hability companies or otherwise. The old-fashioned copartnership of Smith & Brown has given way to the business or- ganization known as the Smith & Brown Manufacturing Company or com- pany. Comparatively few of the old-style firms are now conducting a large business. ‘The majority of extensive establishments have, for reasons satisfactory to them, taken advantage of the development of the corporate principle in business affairs and turned their esfAblishments into joint stock companies. If Mr. Shearman of Brooklyn and his allies do not intend to tax these business and industrial or trading com- panies where are they to draw the line? It is said that they can easily tax only the public corporations, such as railroad a the whole United States wy from those existing in tl Whose corporation laws vary. What Are Taxable Corporations. “It would be well nigh impossible to de- fine what was and what was not @ taxable corporation under the federal statutes. If only transportation and guarantee associa- tions were to be mulcted. their earnings would be harder to grasp than a will-o’-the- Wisp. The railway company would return no profits at all or very light ones, while the industrial construction company engag- ed in building the road or equipping it with apparatus and supplies would absorb all the profits. Again the difficultv of assess- ment would be very great from another cause. There are a great many corpora- tions organized under the laws of one state and doing business in another. This is notably the case as between the states ot New York and New Jersey. A majority of the corporations recently organized for business within the state of New York have been formed in New Jersey in order to avoid certain taxes upon corporation capital imposed by the laws of New York. The legal domicile of these companies ts New Jersey yet thev have nothing there xes on, their property being in state across the Hudson and scattered throughout that state. and. in fact, much of it in the shape of rolling stock or other- wise in other states than the one of their legal domicile or their actual business. Not even on this plan of corporation taxation would the labors and expense of assessment be in fair proportion to results obtained. “Corporations, even under stats laws, are notorious for evading tax obligations. In this respect especially is it true of them that “corporations have no souls." Whether the income tax was general or special, there | would be no longer any sentiment of pa-| triotismeor desire for business advertising | to induce the making of full returns. An Income Tax Would Be Sworn Down “The income tax would be sworn down as | personal taxes notoriously are. Nor would | this always or generally be dishonestly done. In times like these an individual man or corporation composed of a number | of business men is justified In carrying an | ample reserve fund from profits for contin- | sencies. If they, for example, could fairly | compute from last year’s comparative pro: perity the results to aa undertaking con- ued through this year, and much of this year’s losses are necessarily in failure to collect finally upon transactions and deemed hishly profitable when last year's business is written up on firm or corporate books. An income tax would be sure to yield less revenue than could likely be expected from it. while the expenses of collecting it wouid | be disproportionately large to the receipts and the annoyance, mortifications and liti- gations growing out of it would be enormous in extent. t the end of a yn different lines several states r this resort to an war tax measure in time of pro- ace would turn out to be the most pular tax ever adopted in the coun- France has just refused to adopt the { torial income tax proj.

There have been unofficial re- ports, which are also discredited by the Brazilian minister, of a revolutionary move- ment at Para, and it is surmised that in some way the two places,both on the north- ern coast of Brazil, may have been con- in one or the other of these reports.

Will Be Necessary to Protect the Queen, Says a Private Letter. The mail from Honolulu brought by the Alameda reached Washington yesterday. A letter received by a gentleman in this city contained the following: “The political situation here is unchanged, except that public feeling is at a tension. All are waiting for developments. Mr. Wil- lis has not made public anything further than that he has instructions, and will act when the occasion arrives. “The community is filled with rumors of all kinds. The natives have been so much stirred up that the government has increas- ed the forces at the executive building, add- ing a volunteer company to the force, and has extra reliable men at the station house. The government is ready to declare martial law if it seems necessary. “The natives have been filled with the idea that if they can make a rush and over- whelm the guards and get possession but for the briefest time the United States forces will protect them. “It seems a shame that we are kept in suspense so.

Ex-Commissioner of Navigation E. C. O’Brien Makes an Important Recom- mendation. Mr. E. C. O’Brien, the retiring commis- sioner of navigation, does not leave his of- fice without making something of a stir by means of his annual report. He epitomizes his conclusions in the suggestion that there be established an executive department known as the Department of Commerce. Such a department should, in his opinion, embrace the eleven different bureaus of the Treasury Department which have to do with such subjects; also the bureau of American republics of the State Depart- ment, the Pacific railroad commission of the Interior Department, the improvement of the rivers and harbors of the War De- partment, the hydrographic office of the Navy Department, the fish commission of the interstate commerce commission. The tonnage of the country exhibited an increase from 4,765,921 in 1892 to 4,825,071 in 1893. There was a decrease in sailing ton- nage, but an increage in steam tonnage. The upbuilding of a naval reserve made up of men actually connected with the merchant navy is recommended, but the establishment of a marine board is regard- ed as undesirable. ——_+2+—________ Treasury Debt Statement. The treasury debt statement to be is- sued tomorrow will show a cash loss for November of about $6,500,000, leaving the balance on December 1 about $06,500,000. ‘The expenditures for the month exceeded the receipts by 36,500,000, the latter only reaching — $24,000,000. For the first five months of the present fiscal. year the ex- penditures have exceeded the receipts by $34,000,000,0r at the rate of nearly $7,000,000 a month, which, if kept up, will make the net deficit at the end of next June $80,000,- ‘Treasary Department Changes.

While both sides were confident of vic- tory, neither expected a score of more than six points. The betting was lively last night and this morning, but carried on quietly. Both the Yale and Princeton men were confident erough to risk all their spare cash. A Harrisburg man entered the Murray Hill Hotel last night. His name was Hart. “Do you fellows want to cover any money at 5 to 1 that Princeton won't score?” “Certainly,” said Trainer McMasters. “I'll take fifty of it now,” and. he put down $10. Here's fifty more against a hundred on the game." Both bets were covered. Dr. McDonald, the team's physician, took another $150 on the same conditions. The Princeton men rushed the Pennsylvanian so hard on his 5 to 1 bet that in a few minutes he hedged and would bet only on the game 2 to 1. At the Hoffman House “Billy’’ Edwards placed several bets ranging from %0 to $1,000 at odds of 5 to 2 that Yale would win. There was very little betting on the score. Princeton men offered even money that Yale would not score 12 points, but this would not be covered. The betting was not so extensive as last year. The Yale men seemed to be satisfied with the haul they carried from Springfield. Foot Ball Enthusiasts Abroad. Early this morning the foot ball crowd began to make itself noticed on the princt- pal streets of the city,and the bits of orange and black or of blue worn by the enthu- alasts gave brightness to the somber matter of fact appearance of the sidewalks. The colors were worn in every possible variety. There were badges and ribbons of all con- | ceivable kinds, and besides those familiar forms of decoration some new and strik- ing features were noticeable. One Princeton man showed his pride and confidence in his college team by using yellow laces to fasten on his carefully blackened shoes. The crowd in the city quickly received additions in the early hours of morning from the neighboring cities and towns, and on all the streets in the vicinity of Madison Square, well as almost the entire length of upper Broadway, were soon a restless, ever moving mass of colors. There were still several hours to pass before the gates of Manhattan field would be thrown open, and the crowd spent the interval exhibiting itself in the most promi- nent places. The foot ball giants spent the morning quietly. The Yale eleven were at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, and the Princeton eleven were at the Murray Hill. Some little time was devoted to practicing signals and to talking over the tactics to be pursued in the game, but for the most part the heroes endeavored simply to kill time and dispel from their minds all thought of the ap- proaching contest. Seenen at the Grounds. Manhattan field was in a blaze of glory some time later. A fairer day never biess- ed a Thanksgiving day crowd and foot ball enthusiasts could not wish for happler scenes. A battle to the death was to be fought for foot ball supremacy of the gal- lant boys from Old Nassau and the hardy sons of Yale. A tremendous crowd came streaming in to see the contest. The college men came by the thousands, and from the city there was a throng that packed the grand stand, and the bleachers that made the bluffs that rose from the rear living mountains, and swelled the crowd without reserved seats till every man considered himself a sardine. As early as 10 o'clock the advance guard appeared, then they were multiplied a hundred times over. It was estimated at noon, two hours before the game was to be called, that fully 40,000 people would wit- ness the game. At 11 o'clock the field was a bedlam. Leather-lunged students made the air re- sound with college yells, and from a thous- and horns came one prolonged roar that could be heard miles away. The Princeton men came early and filled the stand at the west end of the field. They made one solid mass of yellow and black. Every man lent his throat to the great honor and glory of his college. At one amus- ing sight the Princeton crowd went wild. A delegation of Nassau men, headed by a negro, completely covered with yellow, en- tered the grounds and marched around the field. Every man held a banner and tooted a horn. The rooters broke loose and howl- ed like demons. i The buik of the Yale contingent gatheréd on the south side. Around the stands and over the boxes were hung great blue ban- ners, each one with a big Y in white. The early crowd, for its own amusement, broke into song. Every man on each team was {honored in very crude verse to the tunes that years have made popular. The coaches were lined along the north | side of the field. Yale and Princeton were both well represented in this line. The heavy drags were masses of color. ery college contingent that came in was greeted by a storm of yells. Fair woman seems to delight in the play in a foot ball same, and she was there today by the thou- sands. Shortly after noon the grand stands com- menced to fill. Along the north side vised boxes contained a large contingent of the city’s wealth and beauty. The price of a box was a matter of $10, Mayor Gilroy, surrounded by a lot of the fifty impro- | noted city officials, occupied a part of the stand in front of the club house. Here are occupants of some of the coach- es’ Phi Gamma Delta of Yale and Colum- bia, Mr. F. H. Schenck, Princeton Fresh- men, Tiger Club of Princeton, ivy Club of Princeton, J.

Yale seemed to be the favorite with the crowd, although no small number were con- fident’ that Princeton would score. Capt. ‘Trenchard said that the orange and black presented a better team today than she has had since 1889, when she whip) on Berkeley Oval. He was confident that his tezm would score, and would not say that he would be beaten.

Satolli Paysa Tribute to Their Worth. ‘THEY MAKE PATRIOTIC CIIZENS. Remarks to Be Made to the Stu- dents of Gonzaga College. HIS POSITION STATED. Monsignor Satolli, the papal delegate to the United States, is in favor of Catholic schools. For a long time, in fact, since he came to America, it has been charged that he was unfavorable to Catholic schools, This afternoon at the reception tendered him by the faculty and students of Gon- zaga College he will state his position plainly on this subject. His remarks will be in Italian, but this is what he will say, the following being an epitome of his re- marks as furnished by his secretary, Dr. Papt: “The whole America gives thanks today to the Almighty God, whose kind Provi- dence continues to spread its benefits on this glorious republic. As all power comes from God, so must we acknowledge as com- ing from God prosperity, fruit of peace and victory, fruit of duty performed. Now, this is the reason why holy Scripture calls God sometimes the God of hosts, sometimes the God of peace and charity. The king- dom of Christ on earth is the greatest man- ifestation of Divine Providence, and there- fore the tribute of gratitude, when offered in the name of Christ, is more acceptable to the Almighty Father, and the prayer of- fered in Christ's name is more efficacious to obtain ever increasing benefits for a more and more prosperous future. And really we Cathoiles should be the first both to recognize the benefits of God and to thank Him for them. Since Catholics | Should be the most faithful and constant | followers of religious and social virtues, so as to be living examples to all who do not share in their faith, they have indeed good reason to be proud and to think them- selves privileged to conform on this day to the President's solemn invitation and to thank God for protecting and speeding the American tepublic. Pray for the Republic's Prosperity. “The teachings of St. Paul to the Romans, and the teachings handed down by the early fathers of the church to the faithful, namely, that they should pray constantly for the peace and prosperity of the common- wealth, are the same teachings which the Catholle Church (faithful guardians of the ancient traditions) repeats today and in- | Moreover, we have the important duty as | citizens of this republic to show by the sin- |cerity of our actions that we are worthy of enjoying the freedom and prosperity of this noble land. And for this reason you, pupils of the Gonzaga College, could not have selected a better day for a reception to the apostolic delegate than this Thanks- giving day, devoted to a social resognition ot God. Among the Jews and Romans and | Greeks no feast was celebrated without the cheerful participation of the young. The | joy which radiates from the souls of youth on festival days, and likewise the grief which they show in the days of mourning, naturally create the same sentiments among the masses of the people, and seem to be a more pleasing offering to the heav- enly throne, and to bring thence down on earth the graces and favors of God. “In the days of Augustus the poet Hor- ace composed a hymn, ‘Carmen Seculare,’ to be sung by the boys and matrons in the streets of Rome, and that is one of the noblest productions of the Muse of Latium. And your present celebration and songs rise above all other voices, every part of the country are directed to heaven in thanksgiving for the past, in prayer for the future. Value of the Catholic Schools, “We may be sure of this, that all the Americas (of whatever church they may be members, even if of none) recognize the value of the Catholic school; they are in- terested in it; they honor it; they wish it to continue and progress; they have learned by experience that citizens educated in those schools do not fall short in knowledge and in love of the American Constitution; that they do not lag behind the most pro- |eressive of the American people; that they |are endowed with steadiness of character, with constancy of right purpose; that they are just, active, charitable and generous unto sacrifice. |sists on being observed by her children. | which from | | of the permanence throughout the centuries | jof the Constitution, and the best guide of the republic in civil progress. From this source the Constitution will gather on that assimilation so necessary for the perfect organization of that great progressive body | which is the American republic. “That is the sincere expression of my| comyiction, and so to speak, the profession | of may faith in this matter. ‘Up to the pres-| ent “{t has been inexplicable to me, and/ never perhaps shall I find out what was the erigin of the suspicion that my vie were not favorable to Catholic schools jose who, at first, or ever after, have at-| tributed to me such an absurd opinion | ought to point to some word or action of | mine to justify themselves.

Those only are against them who do not know them, or who are not animated by the spirit of the church, and are want- ing the sentiments of true liberty. This college of St. Aloysius well deserves to be situated in the seat of the federal govern- ment, and we may say to rest under the shadow of the Capitol. Young men, you have before you the great and noble array of those who have gone before you, and who are today able and honored citizens.

There Will Be F When Braz! Ships Meet. } The first naval engagement for years is| likely to take place within the next week off the coast of Brazil. It will be a fight between the Republica, one of Admiral Mello’s insurgent vessels, and the America jand the Nictheroy, the two ships recentiy | purchased in New York for the Piexoto | government. ! | Minister Mendonca has received a cable ;announcing the arrival yesterday of the | Nictheroy at one of the West India isiands. The cable stated that the vessel had be- haved beautifully; thet she had been speeded to her full capacity, and that her | officers were delighted with her splendid | sailing qualities. Senhor Mendonca expects | some time tonight to hear of the arrival of the America at the same port. The two vessels will then leave in company within the next tweiye hours for issazil. They left New York under sealed orders. These orders will be opened when they sail irom the West Indies. ‘hey will steam direct to one of the ports in northern Brazil, where they will receive instructions trom Kio, | | which will govern their future movements. | The America and the Nictheroy are looking | for the rebel cruiser Republica, and if they |meet, says the minisier, there will be trouble. The, Piexoto vessels are so fear- ful of missing the Republica that each of their captains carries a large-sized picture of the Republica. Their instructions from the minister are to avoid a fight, but the minister shakes his head sadly and says | significantly that he is very much afraid jthe crews will disregard his instructions. He says they are the most determined lot of en he ever saw, and, as he expresses it, “literally spoiling for a fight.” If they do fight the minister thinks they will make | mince meat of the Republica. The Repub- lica, Mr. Mendonca, says, is the only ves- jsel of any size that the rebel chief has on the ocean. The Republica thinks the America and the Nictheroy are only carry- ing working crews, and for that reason will have no hesitancy in attacking them. |That, the minister says, is where the fun will come in. Admiral Mello’s other ves- |sels, says the minister, are shut up in the harbor of Rio, and are unable to pass the |forts at the entrance, and while it is true | Mello has three torpedo boats on the coast which are looking for the America and the Nictheroy, the commanders of these vessels are on the lookout for the torpedo boats, jand are not likely to be taken unawares. |The few other vessels that Mello has on jthe coast are, Mr. Mendonca says, clumsy |merchantmen, carrying a few rapid-fire |guns, all of whom combined could not |stand for thirty minutes against the Nic- \theroy and America. Senhor Mendonca is not disturbed by the reports which reach here via London of the reported uprising jin the state of Para, and regards the Eng- lish_newspapers as unsatisfactory channels jof Brazilian news. The minister is in con- | stant communication with his government. He received two cables yesterday. and neither contained mention of any interior troubles. a Lobenguin’s Capture Reported. LONDO: Noy. 30.—A report was circu- | lated here yesterday by a news agency that King Lobengula has been captured by the British South Africa Company forces. The , | colonial office, which is likely to know of Lobengula’s capture a8 soon as it is made, had no news then confirming the report. nor, the officials there state, had it received any intelligence a up to noon today. Shot as a Highwayman. CHARLESTON, W. Va., Nov. 30.—Thos. E. Neal, collector for the Singer Machine Ccmpany in this city, shot and killed Chas. Grogan near here last night. Neal w: returning from a collecting tour in the country and had considerable money. When |near the city Grogan, whom he did not know, caught the bridle of Neal's horse and stopped him. Neal drew a pistol and shot the fellow through the head. His dead body was found this morning. Neal sur- rendered today to the authorities. paiement The Bulgarian sobranje has resolved that the monument to Alexander of Battenberg shall be erected in Alexander Square. | Prince Ferdinand, the princess and all state | ¢, jand municipal officials in Sofia will re- jceive the coffin of Prince Alexander at the rallway station, | least expected. At Mr. Gorm: House, At the home of Mr. A. Sanford Gorman, No. 3419 S street, “Jack” did most damage. This house is only a few doors from 35th street, in a locality where the intruder was He cut a pane of glass in the side window and unfastened the lock. In this way be succeeded in getting into the parlor. Once inside he had things all his own way, for the elderly occupants of the house were on the upper floor asleep at the time, and en account of the construc- tion of the house there was not much dan- ger of their being aroused. It was not to risk a visit to the floor in order to find for on the table Mrs. knife, left several pieces of new d. = silks and other materials. are now not fit for the junk dealer. He Stashed Everything. The carpet on the floor suffered several strokes, while the seat of the large sofa was slashed and the feather filling removed. Besides this the early morning visitor slash- ed the mats on the floor, ruined the chairs and other articles, and even some potted plants at the front winduw did not escape his knife. ‘The feathers from the sofa were scatter- ed and blown about the room, giving the place the appearance of a hen house after the visit of a chicken thief. When M Gorman walked down stairs this morning and saw what hed taken place she became nervous and excited, and later in the day she had to be taken in the house of a neighbor. A Stable Vi At the adjoining house, L. E. Morgal, the “Slasher” appeared, but instead of entering the house he went to the stable, where he found Mr. Morgal’s buggy. The top, sides, curtai: of the vehicle were complet and time enough was spent in the stable to cut a spoke from each of the four wheels. He also visited another house in the neigh- borhood and cut the slats from the shutter, but did not succeed in getting into the Ouse. ‘The houses were visited some time be- tween 2 and 4 o'clock in the morning, for | at one of the houses it was sometime after midnight when family retired. Between 2 and 3 o'clock a woman living on S street was aroused by hearing some one cn the sidewalk. She got out of bed, opened her window and, looking out, she saw a white man, who stopped and looked toward her and then walked away without saying a word. The Police Ignorant. When a Star reporter called at the police Station this afternoon the officers there knew little or nothing of what had been done by the “slasher” only about three Squares away. It was stated that they had received word of the affair in the morning, but che officer in charge said that none of the officers had made a report of the mat- ter to the station. Precinct Detective Burrows was seen on the street by a reporter and he said he had investigated the case. He thought that th work had been done by one of “Jack’ imitators, because he said he had overdone the thing, but this was probably because he had not seen what “Jack” had done at other houses. Inspector Hollinberger was notified of the affair during the day, and he will have the detectives look into the matter. Taken as a Souvenir. The only thing missing from Mr. Gor- man’s house was a small piece of the car- pet. which Jack probably took off as a souvenir. At almost every house thus far visited some small article has been taken away, and when “Jack” ts caught, if the police are ever fortunate enough to catch him, they may possibly find the collection of souvenirs taken in this way. His First Visic. ‘When the “slasher” first appeared he vis- ited a number of houses in Georgetown, but then he only cut small articles, such as overcoats and umbrellas. It was not until he reached other sections that he extended his operations to all sorts of wearing ap- — carpets and household effects gener- ally. The police have been4n uniform on thelr night tours of duty this week. scale! INTERNAL REVENUE. An Income Tax to Be a Conspicuous Feature of the Schedule. An income tax will be a conspicuous fea- ture of the internal tax schedules upon which the majority of members of the ways and means committee are now work- ing. The details of the plan are gradually assuring a definite form. It will exempt individual incomes and will apply only in @ general way to inheritances and corpora- tions. ‘Ihe data furnished by the Treasury De- partment shows that during the ten years the tax was in existence the receipts in rcvnd numbers were $74,000,000. High- water mark was reached in 1866. During that year the receipts aggregated $73,000,000, and in the year following they were 367, 0,000, The great increase in populatiot the last member of the | and wealth since then leads the committee to believe that a tax on corporations alone will furnish a considerable amount of the revenue needed to supply the deficit caused by_the reduction in tariff duties. Chairmai Wilson now believed that $35,- (00,000 will cover the decrease in revenues from imports caused by the bill just made public. He reached this conclusion after a careful examination of the new tariff bill, | and this conclusion is shared by Secretary has had Carlisle, with whom the chai repeated conferences. A tax of ten cenis a pack*on playing cards has been suggested, and will, no doubt, be adopted, as al! the majority mem- bers regard the proposition favorably. The committee have reached no under- standing as yet regarding whisky. It is not likely that the tax will be increased beyond ten cents a gallon, with a fair probability that it may remain untouched. ee S. H. Caughey of Baltimore Dead.
