W ASHINGTON, Jan. 2.—There are some indi- cations of dissatisfaction with the Dockery commission, the joint commission of the senate and the house appointed to investi- gate the departments. Senator Gorman has on two or three occasions in the senute shown some impatience concerning the re- ports of the commission and its efforts to shape legislation, and other senators, and members as well, have complained mildly of he tendency of the committee to interfere th the work of regularly constituted com- mittees of the two houses, “The commission is beginuing on this ac- count, and because of the stir it is making in the departments, to altract a shave of at- tention which had not attached to it until receatly. Those who have been giving at- teution to the subject find that the commis- sion has been given not only u big task to overnaul all the departments, but that it 1s authorized to araw upon the treas- ury for unlimited expenses with- out submitting its accounts to any ofticial or without obtaining an approp: tion from congress. The committee now has three experts ewployea, J. W. Reinhart, sresident of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa §'e, being the chief. His salary is not tixed and it is supposed that his remuncration will be made to correspond with the services repdered at the end of the work, The names of the other two experts have been placed on tho treasury pay roll at the rate of $6,000 and §,000 respectively per annum. The tho commission is lmited to the vut if it realizes the ex- : irmanDockery the work will be well concluded by that time and it will be important enough, as will be demon- strated by the results, 1o justify ull the ex- pensos that it may occasion, us well as to vindicate its originators and’ friends.

INDIVIDUAL INCOME me he able 10 get TAX on the House Ways and tea Carry Their Point. Jan, 2 —Theadvocates of the individual tax proposition were triumphan:, meeting of the democra; members of the ways and means committee this afternoon. The eleven members were present when the final meeting was held at the Treasury department at 4 o'clock. But little time was wasted in_discussion. The ground had all been argued and fought over time and time in, and this afternoon the issue was joined on two propositions, one to levy a tax of 2 per cent against individual incomes over $4.000, and against the in comes from corporations (that is the aiffer ence between the gross income and the operating expenses, or, in other words, the net income) ; ie proposition offered as a substit Cockran, to tax the in comes from tions 1 per cent and in- heri cent, tax of 10 cents on whisky and to restc ta the tiable list at half a cent per pound. The Its Advoeates Menns Com Wasnixoron which was taken first, resulted in its defeat by a vole of 710 4, as follows: Yeas —Messrs Wilson, Cockran, Stevens and Montgomery Nays—Messrs, McMillin, Turner, Whiting. Bryan, Byn arsney and Breckinridge, The ' ori roposition was then sub- mitted and carricd by a vote of 6 to 5, as [t lows McMillin, Turner, Whiting Bryan, and Tarsney. Nays—Wil son, Cockran, Stevens, Montgomery and Breckinridge. It was also decided, in connection with the latter proposition, to increase the whisky tax 10 cents per gailon ; that is, from %0 cents to #1. to be levied against whisky in as well as out of bond Upon the represcntation that this increase would work undue hardship to the owners of whisky in bond, it was Jecided to extend the bonded period from to eight years. The tax on playing cards, atonetime fixed at 6 cents per package, was reduced to 2 cents, and the contemplated tux on_per- fumes and cosmetics was discarded, No in- creaso was made n the tax on cigars, but the increase on cigarcttes, §1 per 1,000, was allowed to stand.

COINAG 000,000 by WILL NOT CAUSE DELAY. Republicans Will Not Filibuster Agalnst the Repeal of the Elections Law. WisniNGToN, Jan. 2.—Senator Hale, in conversation today, said he thought the senate would take up *‘the federal elections bill soon after convening,” and, he continued, “I think it will be passed with little delay and become a law at an early date, as there is 1o doubt the president will sign it.” “Will not the republicans,” was asked, “make some effort to deluy or prevent its passage?” “They know it will be impossible to pre- ent it, and they will not undertake o secure delay, as tnat would accomplish nothing. With the first of the regular session of con- ouly fairly begun and the majority upon_the policy of passing the bill any efforc on the part of the republicans to attempt to accomplish its defeat by dilatory tactics would be fool- hardy. We, of course, recognize the fact that the passage of this bill iz something of & revolution, and that, in a way, it marks the close of an era in the nation’s legisla- tive history. With the repeal of the elec tions law, the last of the reconstruction leg- islation will be wiped from the statute books. The only course is to protest. Lhere will be some speeches on the subject, enoagh 10 wake the position of the party known and have the country understand the situa- tion and who is respousible, but we will at- tempt nothing more. This is one of the legitimate results of the democratic vie- tories of 1802 and will be accepted as such by the country.” CHILIA united CLAIMS. ‘What the Clalms Committee Has Accom- plished Since Its Formation. WASLINGTON, Jan. 2—The Chilian olaims committee has made a number of decisions in the past week. In thecase of James M Hallowes against Chili the demurrer of Chili was overruled and an answer required. The demurrer of Chili in the Landreau case was argued on Saturday and submitted, The demurrer in the case of Richard L. Trumbull against the United States was ar- gued Saturday and the demurrer was over- ruled. The suit was one for £5.000 for consul fees ngainst this country’s minister to Chali. The case of Wells, Fargo & Co. against Chili was closed by the United States De- cember 5, Chili taking five days to produce proof. In the case of Watson against Chili the demurrer of Chili that Watson, though act- ing ns an agent for the Meigs heirs, had a personal interest and was a British subject was sustained and ordered to be amended so a8 10 show the citizenship of Watson. In the case or Williams and Kobinson agaiust Chili the commissioners grant leave 10 the cluimants to filo amended memorials The commission expires in April and Chili will decline to renew it. This will leave many claims undecided. The validity of the claums will by no means be impairea by this fact, though the muchinery for adjusting them will be done away with. i bl LT Kaunsas Federstion of Labo Lzaveswonty, Kun,, Jan, 2.

The Stryk-cn-Blaas-Lust club, direct of Dr. Charles Baetens, assisted by Mrs. Frances Mueller, coutralto, Miss Mawie Munhhoft, soprano, and Miss Othalia Kurbach, pianist, gavea concert lastnight at the First Methodist Episcopal church for the benefit of the Associated Charitie The program was arranged with good taste and rendered with an artistic excellence that distinctly stamped the club as one of the leading amateur orchestral organiza- tions of the west. The two Strauss dance numbers lent an air of lightuess and mirth to the program, while tne “Celebrated of Handel and Mascagnr's “‘Ave 1" were sufticient to satisfy sorious ais under the the ‘I'ne orchestra’s first number was an over- Schona Ga by \on 'his dificult piece was played with a fine precision, tho opening march and the 4 movement in the latter part being notably brilliant. Master Eddie Urbach in his violin solo, “Fantasic Pastorale,” Singerlee, displayed remurkable technic: The first part, a pure pastoral, representing the notes of a shepherd’s pipe, was a pleasing exex tion, and Master Urbach had to respoud an encor Mrs. Moeller sang a solo, “Listen to_the Children,” by F. Cowun, in'fine style. Mrs, Moeller’s voice is a rich, deep and true con- tralto of surpassing tenderaess, volume and flexibility. The fourth number was a double one for the orchestra, “Babillage,” by Gillet, and ““Ave Maria” by Handel, the Jatter with cor- net obligato by Perry Badolet. These two vieces, totally different ia styie and senti- ment, were given an equally excellent inter- vretation. Handel's “Celebrated Largo” was the fifth number, a composition in which the rare quality of eloquence in music is wonderfully brought out. For her piano s0lo Miss ‘Othalia Karbach gave a double numbver, *Mwuet," by Jensen, and Scharwenka's *Polish Dance." Strauss’ “Polka” and “Mazurka,” as played by the orchestra, were brimming over with life and boisterous merriment and called up visions of coyrt balls and Viennese gayety. The eighth’ cumber was John Brown’s violincello solo, *Romance,”” by Dr. Baetens, this being the second public per- formance of the piece. 1t is a composition of unquulified werit, its pure and tender senti- ment being peculiarly adapted to the 'cello. One of the best numbers was the nint Miss Mamie Munchoft’s solo, **Com’e'bello from Donizetti's *Lucrozia Borgin.” Miss Munchoff has a magnificent soprano voice, whose higher notes are of crystaline cie ness, although the effect of her singing v soméwhat marred by a cold stage pres and lack of dramatic force. In this respect she appeared much better in her encore number, *Love Was Once a Littlo Boy." vy Wade, a comical musical ditty, which pleased the audieuce immensely. After the orchestra’s rendition of “Prince Methusalem,” by Strauss, Mr. Oluf Norwall played a violin solo, the *First Movewent Concerto,” by Rode. The last number was for the orchestra, “March Militaire,” by Shubert, a piece thoroughly saturated with the nameless charm that is sostroug and in- describable 1n all of this composer’s music. AMUSEMENTS. 2 enee's “of & *Nanon,” opera as 1t single motif,” has been somewhat ironically called by his contemporaries, was the bill last evening at the Fifteenth Street theater by the Carleton Opera company. Taken as a whole the performance was satisfactory, although the serious indisposition of Miss Alice Vincent who was compelled to cut her musical num- bers entirely, marred what would otherwise nave been @ very acceptable performance. But rather than’ change the bill Miss Vin- cent consented to go on and keep faith with the public. Mr. Carleton, after his rest of yesterday, was in good voice and sang with good effect. < Miss Bell, in the light of other Nanons who have preceded her, Fanny Rice, Clara Lane, Sadie Martinot, 1s hardly the dasbing barmaid her predecessors have made of the part, but she has the merit of dramatic in- stinct and a good vocal range, which count for much in these days. Mr. Fitzgerald, who has just joined the company, sang Hector with a breeziness thal was very pleasant, while Mr. Ricketts, in_the role of the marquis, won au encore with his topical song. The chorus was in good form and ably assisted in the very acceptable per- formance. —_——— FIGHUING FOR MILLIONS, Litigation Over the Wealth Left Chicago's First Mayor.
