PRESIDENT'S SALARY EXENPT Income Tax Does Not Reach the Head of the Nation, HILL MAKES A POLITICAL PROPHECY Bays If the Present Pol There Never Will Be eratie cy In Persisted in Another Demo- leries Ap- plaud the Remarks. resident— WASHINGTON, June 23.—The half hour veually devoted to miscellaneous business in the senate was tod Mr. Call with & resolution providing for a committee of five senators to Investigate the control senators and representatives by corporations. He made a brief speech on the subject Mr. Sherman sald he was willing that ths investigation should be allowed o far as Florida was concerned, but he did not think it was Just to make it so broad and sweeping as contained In the resolution. The matter went over and the tariff bill was taken up. occupled by Mr. Hill took the floor. He said that yosterday would be known in history as populist day, alluding to the specches of Benators Kyle and Allen. He sald that attempt had been made to attack the repe of the state bank tax or to enact a frec coin age bill in this bill, both of which are en dorsed by many democrats and considered a part of the platform, while especial efforts had been made to go outside of the platform to [ncorporate the income tax in the bill. No other system of taxation opened such a b ad fleld for fraud and evasion and none offeres such temptations If the tax were be imposed there was no reason why the exemption shouid be $4,000 when In monarchical countries where tax was levied the exemption was but §7 and even down to $271. Was it to compen- gate for the high cost of living here? He believed that the higher the exemption the harder would it be to defend this tax. HILL OFFERS AMENDMENTS, Having spoken nearly two hours Mr. Hill gave way to Mr. Gallinger, who also opposed the income tax. Then Mr. Hill offered the amendment limiting the exemption of tax to incomes less than $3,000, which Mr. Vest had offered yesterday on behalf of the finance committee, but which he afterwards with- drew. Lost, 30 to 38. The vote fn detail is as follows: Yeas—Aldrich, Carr, Chandler, Davis, Frye, Gallinger, Higgins, Hill, Hoar, Irby Lodge, Manderson, Peffer, Perkins, Platt, Quay, Shoup and Washburn. Total, 18. Nays—Allen, Bate, Berry, Blackburn, Caf- fery, Cockrell, Coke, Dolph, Dubols, Faulk- ner, George, Gorman, Gray, Hansbrough Harris, Hawley, Hunton, Jarvis, Mitche (Ore.), Mitchell (Wis), Morgan, Murphy, Palmer, Pasco, Power, Proctor, Pugh, Roach, Bmith, Teller, Turple, Vest, Vilas, Voorhee: Walsh and White. Total, 42. Mr. Hill then rnoved to reduce the ex- emption from $4,000 to $2,000. This was also defeated, 26 to 38, Mr. Hill then moved to reduce the ex- emption 2,500; lost, 25 to 38. Mr. Hill then reoffered the Vest amend- ment to reduce the exemption from $4,000 to $3,000. Lost, 30 to 38. Mr. Hill then offered an amendment to change the date on which the income tax provision of the bill should go into effect from January 1, 1865, to January 1, 186 Defeated, 6 to 41. An amendment by Mr. Hoar to include Judges of United States courts in the exemp- tion from the income tax was agreed to with- out objection. Mr. Sherman inquired whether any esti- mates had been made as to the probable yield of revenue from this tax. Mr. Vest replied the general estimate was $30,000,000, but he did not believe any accurate estimate could be made. . Mr. Hill proposed an amendment to exempt the salary of the president from the imposi- tion of the tax, and used this amendment as a text for criticising in a gemi-humorous way the action of the finance committee in exempting the salaries of federal judges. He falled to see, he said, why the salaries of judges should be exempt, and he thought if compliments were to be pald one certainly was due to the president; besides the presi- dent happened (o be a resident of New York, and the tax would fall with an especially heavy hand on New York. DID NOT SPEAK WITH AUTHORITY. “I am not authorized to speak for the president,’” Mr. Hill said, with a smile, “in this or any other matter, but this would be a delicate compliment to ‘one citizen of New York and I think the committee ought to accept the amendment.” “While Mr. Cleveland is the last demo- cratic president we shall ever have from New York,” said Mr. Vest, rising to his feet, “the’ appeal is almost irresistible.” (Laughter.) “If you persist in this species of taxation,” said Mr. Hill, turning to him, “he will be the last democratic president from any state.” The applause in the galleries that greeted this utterance was quickly suppressed by the vice president with a vigorous use of the gavel. When the amendment was put it rried by a viva voce vote. Mr. Hill then moved the interest on United Btates bonds (excepted by the provisions of the bill) be subject to the provisions of the Income tax. At 4:10, without voting on the amend- ment, the ‘senate went Into executive session, and at 4:20 adjourned. NEWS FOR THE ARM List of Changes in the Regular Service as Reported Yesterday.

WASHINGTON, June 23 the intention of the ~The Spanish government to increase considerably on the 1st of July the duties on a large number of American prod ucts entering under the ocity Cuba reeiy treaty has created a great commotion among exporters and particularly among the ship- pers of wheat and flour, who found them- selves caught expectedly as they thought with large contracts for future delivery which could not be anded in Cuba before the date when the new duties were to be im- posed. In this case they etood to lose heavily on their contracts, as they would be obliged to pay the higher duty. Appeals have flowed into the State department from the west particularly, begging the govern- ment to intercede to protect these shippers Mr. Uhl, who is acting as secretary in_ the absence of Mr. Gresham, telegraphed Min- ister Taylor at Madrid upon the subject and has received a reply that, according to the Spanish minister of state, the increase in the Cuban tariff canot be voted b 1, if at all.

WASHINGTON, June 23.—The tar and feathering of Adjutant General Tarsney was much discussed among members of the house today. General Tarsney was here recently and met many members of the house.

Two Well Known Young Men Have a Fafal Quarrel Gver a Woman. ST. PAUL, June 23.—The murder of J. H. Clapp, salesman for W. S. Dennis & Co., by Ehle Allen last night in a quarrel over a woman is the most sensational affair which has occurred in the northwest for some time, on_account of the prominence of the princi- pals. Young Allen is the son of Colonel Allen, proprictor of the Merchants hotel, has acted as the clerk of that institution for years and is probably as well and favorably known to the better class of the traveling public as any man in the country. The crime is rendered more sensational by the mystery which surrounds the relations of the par in the affair and the motive for its commis- sion. From stories told by witnesses it ap- | pears that the ng woman, a Miss Lule Leyde, and Mr.” Allen hag been living to- gether for the past few months in rooms op- posite the Metropoiitan hotel as “Mr. and Mrs. Moore.” Shortly before midnight last night Miss Leyde and a female frlend were passing the Metropolitan when they were in- sultingly accosted by Clapp. The woman ran across the street to where Allen was standing and Clapp followed. Then the tragedy occurred. Allen without further provqeation drew a knife and slashed Clapp across the throat so seriously that he bled to death within twenty minutes. There are hints that there are deeper and more sen- sational motives for the crime than are yet made public Allen and the Leyde woman were arrested and placed in jail. Allen’s version is that he had driven up to the Metropolitan in a cab. He had dismissed the cabman and was leisurely walking along Fourth street, paring his finger nails with a pocket knife, when Clapp accosted the Leyde woman on the opposite side of the street. The woman ran to him for protection and Clapp followed. In an altercation following Clapp drew a revolver and Allen struck at him, not thinking of the knife he held in his hand. He claims he did not know he had cut the man until after he was dead. Miss Leyde’s story substantiates that of Allen. She confirms his assertion that Clapp had drawn a revolver. Other eyve witnesses, however, deny that he had made any hostile motion. The fact that he still held a half burned cigar between his fingers when he staggered into the hotel corridor and sank into a chair after the cutting is a strong point in contradiction. e Boating, bathing, music. Courtland Beach. ALl e ENEW NO COLOR. Devotion of Mrs. Mayfield to Her Husband as Shown by Her Grief. A scene that brought tears to the eyes of it occurred yesterday where lay the those who witnessed afternoon at the morgu body of Joe Mayfield. Joe Mayfield was colored and years ago he married a white woman. They have lived together through, thick and thin. She never faltered in her devoticn to her colored husband and he never mentioned the coior line to her. About six years ago they moved into a thatched shanty at Thirteenth and Lake streets and the neighbors they lived an extremely happy life. No children were ever born to them. When the wife heard that something had befallen her husband she fainted, and when she revived the first question she asked was, “Where is he?"’ Yesterday afternoon she went to the morgue and, accompanied by Ell Gish, went into the basement to see the remains. They were on a cooling board and the moment Mrs. Mayfield saw the face she threw her- self upon the corpse, passionately kissing the face. It required three men to take her from the spot, she being a very large and muscular woman. Half a dozen times be- fore the door was reached she attempted to break away from those who held her. The investigation into the death of May- fleld has not progressed any. Police d tectives looked into the matter, but learne nothing new. Coroner Maul wants an au- tepsy held, but will not order one unless the county commissioners agree to pay the bill County Physician Blythin said that he would make the post mortem if the commissioners $0 ordered. There Is not a mark or brul of any kind on Mayfield’s body and the ge eral opinfon is that death was caused b heart disease. This was the verdict of the coroner's jury It is certain that the b and was not robbed, for the knife, keys money that Mayfeld was known to have were found in his pockets, ———— Will Visit Omaha.

In the meantime and notwithstanding these varylng rumors the state committee bas met and to it J. M.

Burton and the other senator- ial aspirants were not at all pleased with the for th Knew too well that it betokened a desire to a his state at Washington. They were still less pleased hen the tender was accepted and the way us opened for Mr. Ingzalis to work up sen- timent in his own interest Everythng tends to the conclusion that Ingalls will make the race if the feelers that ervices in co ach of the ngressional tender, serve he is putting out indicate to him that his chances are good. Two years &go, in the 5t his big speech in Topeka, he said ring to the then approaching senator- ial electon: “I want to say I am nct a candidate—not to you all that ow. My seat in the senate is not vacant. When it fs, if I desire to return, I will see the people of Kansa: again in regard to the matter." As recently as last fall Mr. Ingalls an- nounced in the course of an address at Hor- ton, this state, that he had no desire for any office at any time, either then or in the future, but he had Colonel Dan Anthony along to anncunce immediately after the ad- dress that “Mr. Ingalls has no right to say that he is not a candidate. When the people of Kansas need him they will call on him and he will serve.” Mr. Ingall's seat is not yet vacant—Peffer will occupy it for two years more—but he is evidently convinced that the people of Kansas nexd him, and- desires an oppor- tunity to convince themof the fact REPUBLICAN PROSPECTS BRIGHT. Kansas seems destined to go republican this year. The fusign between democracy and populism that all but wiped out a ma- jority of 80,000 four Years ago, and that transformed it into a minority two years ago, will not be repéatéd in 1894, The de- feat of the republican party, when that de feat means the continuation in power of the present populist administration. is not now so ardently desired by democrats as to out- weigh al other considerations. But even weie the democratic party in Kansas willing on general principles 'tp assist in another defeat of republicanism, the action of the recent populist convention on the woman sullrage question wouhl .alienate the bulk of the democratic vote and tend to the nomina- tion and.support of yasetraight-out bourbon democratic ticket. - Andy with a stralght-out democratié ticket In the field, republican suc- cess s certain, for.the populists have always lacked 25,000 votes of a plurality. The public utterances of such democrats as David Overmeyer, ex-Governor Glick United States Attorney Perry, Tulley Scott, Joe Lowe and United States Marshal Neeley all go to show that there is no other inten- tion this year than the nomination on July 3 of a straight democratic ticket, on a plat- form which shall declare against woman suffrage, prohibition and all other Issues. Not a single democratic leader can be found who has a good word to say of the populist platform or who ventures to sug- gest that it may be endorsed by his party. Even the strongest fusionists of two years ago are pronounced In their advocacy of the nomination of a democratic ticket. A few have rather hiuted that George W. Clark, the populist nominee for justice of the supreme court, might possibly be endorsed, but the suggestion has created such a storm among the rank and file of the party that there is little probability that Mr. Clark's name will appear on the democratic ticket. The Paola Spirit, one of the leading democratic papers in the state, in commenting on Clark’s nom- ination last week, said: BETRAYED HIS PARTY. “For four years he has held office under a populist attorney general, claiming all the while to be a democrat, and using this claim to get into democratic councils, and then posting his populist keepers on democratic doings. The time has come for real demo- crats to shut the door in the face of alleged democrats of the George Clark stripe.” The Topeka Democrat treats the matter in about the same manner, That this sentiment among leaders against fusion, even on Clark, is shared by the lesser lights in the party is evidenced by the action being taken by the democratic county conventions throughout the state, Several important conventions were held Saturday and all declared strongly against fusion. In Bourbon county only such nien as W. C. Perry and J. D. McCleverly were. elected as delegates and every sugges- tion of fusion was shouted down. In Saline county the following resolution was unani- mously adopted: “We emphatically denounce the craze for woman suffrage as injurlous to good morals, detrimental to the welfare of 'the state, a &tep twenty centu- ries backward in the progress of the world and a ruinous and destructive legacy to succeeding generations.” As the populist platform includes an endorsement of equal suffrage, this resolution is equivalent to a declaration of war against populism. In Coffey county all delegates were positively instructed to vote for straight democratic state and congressional tickets, and the cen- tral committee was ordered to call a county convention for the nomination of a straight county ticket. ' With all this feelif}f against fusion partially provoked by the signal fallure of the populist administration to peffgrm a single creditable act, but due more' to the endorsement of woman suffrage by 'fhé populist convention there s scarcely \a possibility that the enemlies of the repyblican party can unite. If they do not unite,;the republican plurality this fall will be 25000 votes; if they should unite, the chances of republican success will still be good, but the contest will be a close and bitter one. democratic b —— PALMER OWNS UP. e nfesses to the Steallng of Silverware from W dCook, Another has been added to the long list of robberies said to' Have been committed by Randolph Palmgr, ‘the young man ar- rested In Crescent Qlity, Ta., for steal'ng a team of horses belonging to Judge Walton of Blair.
