BELLOMY & BUSCH, Oregon City, Or THE INCOME TAX Carrying the New Law Into Ef fect With Ittipidity. GETTING THINGS IN SHAPE Mr, I'iikIi Occupied Since III. Appoint ment In Kxauilnlng mid Preparing a Digest of Court Decisions mid 1 liurtmeiit Rulings. Washington, November 0. The work preliminary to carrying into effect the now income-tax law is going forward as rapidly as its nature will permit under the direction of W, A. Pugh, who In Oc tolier last was Appointed Superintendent of tiie Income Tax, A number of com plicated and interesting questions have arisen under former laws, and anticipat ing that questions will arise in the fut ure of equal importance, it is essential for their solution to understand what lias boon the former legislation of Con gress, the decisions of courts and rulings of the department on the subject of the Income tax. With this end in view Mr. l'ugb has been occupied since bis ap pointment in examining and preparing a digest of tlio court decisions and the department rulings under their respect ive headings. lie has also compared all the former laws upon the income tax, arranged so Unit all the provisions here tofore made upon the same subject shall appear properly grouped, and any one at a glance can see the various changes and modiucatioiis that have taken place, There have been several acts upon the subject of the income tax. The first was passed August 5, 1801. Under this act, however, nothing was done. The act failed to provide many provisions con' tamed in the subsequent legislation both as to the subjects of taxation and the methods of collection. The second act was passed July 14, 18(i2; the third act June 30, 18(14 ; the fourth March 3, 18(15. and the fifth act March 2. 18G7. Under the first act $800 was the amount reserved from taxation, and the rate of taxation was 5 per cent on all sums over that amount. Under the act of July 14, 18(12, the amount reserved from taxation was as follows: If the income exceeded WOO and did not exceed $10,000, a duty of 3 per cent on the amount over $000; it said income exceeded the sum of $10,000, a duty of 5 per cent upon the amount exceeding ifUIIU. Under the third act $600 was exempted and the duty was 6 per cent on the ex cess. Under the fourth and fifth acts $1,000 was free from taxation, and the amount of tax was 5 per cent on the amount in excess of that sum. VICTORIOUS JAI'ANESK. WHEM.S IN THK AltMY. the Kxporlinents Made Abroad With Bicycle Unsatisfactory. WAHiiiNOTON,November 6. The bright hopes that have been entertained by the military men that the bicycle might be an effective adjunct in war time have been dashed by the exhaustive trials made in Germany, France and Austria of the bicycle corps. United States Con buI Stephens at Annaberg has transmit ted to the State Department an article from the military correspondent upon the result of the trials made in Germany, which, he says, correspond to those ob tained in France and. Austria. He writes : " We have it on trustworthy authority that the results of the trials which the various army corps have made with the cyclists by no means came up to the ex pectations which were formed. The cy clists have been tested in every possible way, and although it is not forgotten that the cycle Is capable of further de velopment and the cyclist of still better training, still this will have little influence on the general result. For military purposes, too, a distinction must always be made between the achievement of professional and ama teur cracks and the work that can bo done by the average soldier." The correspondent details one or two cases wherein the cyclists were of serv ice as mounted postmen, but says that where the roads were bad they were of no use at all and certainly can never re place the mounted orderly. Fighting I'm Keen Reported North of 1'ort Arthur Yokohama, November 0. Advices re ceived here from the frontier show that there has been heavy fighting in the country just north of 1'ort Arthur. The dispatclios received are brief, and are si' lent on some important points. It ap pears that Field Marshal Oyama divided his force. While one division landed on the coast of the peninsula north of Ta- lien Wan, another division was detached with orders to effect a landing near Kin Chow and to proceed thence and join the main body of the army. This operation was a complete success. The Japanese encountered no Chinese war ships, and the transports reached Kulien Chao and disembarked troops, guns, horses and munitions in safety. Kin Chow, which is a walled town, and which was believed to be held bv a large garrison, was im mediately attacked. The outer defenses were carried by the Japanese after a few hours' fighting. The Chinese made lit tle further resistance, and the Japanese were soon masters of the place. In the meantime the Japanese fleet, which had conveyed the transports, opened a heavy lire on 1 alien Wan and Kulien Uhao, The firing scarcely ceased lor many hours. Covered by the fire from the ships, the land forces attacked and cap turcd Talien Wan in a brilliant fashion The dispatch states that the losses were heavy. They also mention that an im portant naval engagement occurred Sat urday, but gave no details. Up to the time of sending this dispatch there has been no confirmation of the report of the capture ol 1'ort Arthur. Field Marshal Yamagata's army con tinues its victorious march. The divis ion under General Tasnhima pressed forward and captured Fung Wang Cbing as already earned, i he enemy was scat tered and fled in the direction of Taku sban, Kaijoa and Hotenfu. No fighting is mentioned as having occurred at Fung Wang Lining, out it is alleged auu uni nese were killed at Taikai. Field Mar shal Yamagata's official dispatch says that the detachment under General Tat- sumi has occupied Fung Wang Ching, a fort which ranks in importance next to Moukden. The Drincinal nortion of the Uhtnese army ilea toward Moukden and the remainder in the direction of Heichen and Takushan. The Chinese inhabitants who have been plundered by the Chi nese soldiers welcomed the Japanese army. The Japanese captures to the present are fifty-nine cannon, 1,600 small arms, 20,000 rounds of artillery ammunition, 2,500 rounds for small arms and a quantity of other material. KNIGHTS OF LABOR. It NUT GRASS OK COCOA. Is Proving the Russian Thistle of the South. Washington, November 0. The nut grass or cocoa is proving to be almost as much of an infliction in the South as is the Russian thistle to the Northwest. For that reason the Agricultural Depart ment will soon issue a special bulletin urging a general campaign against this gratis before it gets too firm a bold. This plant is not a grass, as its common name and its appearance indicate, but a sedge. It has many local names in the different regions in which it has been iutroduced. The species is of subtropical origin, and is said to have reached the United States at New Orleans among garden plants brought from Cuba. It now extends from Texas to Southern Illinois and the coast to Florida and New Jersey, being more abnndant in the sandy bills. The plan of campaign to extirpate nut grass is simply to prevent it maturing seed above ground. Nearly everybody thinks the nuisance reproduces itself from the nut alone, whereas it propagates a thou sand times more from the seed. Hence to effectually and quickly destroy nnt grass on any land infested with it the soil should be frequently stirred during the growing period of summer, so as to stimulate each nnt tuber and seed to sprout. The best time for fighting it is between midsummer and frost time. The Becret of success is merely in the cut of every tall stem while in the flow ing state at the latest, and the sooner the better. Every Effort Will be Made to rurlfy the Order. Philadelphia, November 6. As the date for holding the annual conference of the Knights of Labor draws near there is a great deal of quiet work being done by the old-time friends of the or der. Mr. Powderly himself has not been idle, for during the past six months he haB been in fifteen different 8tate3, and with others has gathered evidence in supportof the allegations of the intended schemes of the present administration to pack the General Assembly, which meets in New Orleans the 13th instant. with ineligible delegates. It was said to-night bv a prominent Powderly sup porter that eminent counsel haB been re tained to commence proceedings in the the United States Courts on the Bret ap- C ranee of "crooked" reports. The ks of the organization will be care fully scrutinized, and perpetrators of frauds will find themselves in the strong meshes of the law. A committee of fifty old-time members, who are not and never have been known as faction lsts, have raised a fund for the purpose of purifying the order. These earnest workers have prevailed on the Secretary of the United Mine Workers Union, Pat rick McBrydeof Columbus, 0., to run for the office of General Secretary-Treasurer, It is claimed no man in the order has a brighter or cleaner record than Mr. Mc Bryde, and the friends of the movement are very much elated that they have at last succeeded in obtaining a definite promise from him to allow his name to be placed in nomination for the office. All the Western delegates and many more from the East have consolidated on McBryde. Documents of a Chinese Capper. San Fsancikco, November 6. The ar rest of a Chinese known as Mar Tan has brought to light documents such as have never been nnearthed before in this city, Mar Tan has for a long time been recog nized as a Chinese "capper" for a num- berof Police Court practitioners. Among Tan s effects were two pieces of cloth, on which are Chinese characters. These, being translated, prove that Tan be longs to anarchistic or highbinder socie ties. There are some secret society char acters on the certificates that cannot be translated. Never before have high binders' documents fallen into the hands of the police. Endeavor will be mode to have the prisoner deported un der the law by which criminals may be sent back to their native land. These documents prove the man's standing as a criminal in China.

The angel of death, in the shadow of whose pinions the autocrat of all the Kussias has been lying for many days, yesterday beckoned and the soul of the man who had in Ihb bands the lives and destinies of millions upon millions was borne away.

At 2:10 p. m. yesterday the sum mons came, and a few hours later the thunderous booming of cannon at Liva dia and St, Petersburg announced that the Czar waB dead and that he who had been the Grand Duke Nicholas reigned in his stead. On lightning wings the news of Russia's loss spread throughout the world, and it is safe to say that everywhere the intelligence created sym pathy for the family ol him who by his policy had maintained the friendship of the Great Republic of the West, and from America came words of sympathy, for the dead ruler had always been a friend of the Great Republic of the West and Americans tiad not forgotten how well his father's friendship sustained the North in the war of the rebellion. Among the peasants of Russia he will be mourned with a deep and abiding sorrow, for was he not the " peasant Czar ' .None of the grandiloquent titles borne by him was prized as much by him as the one bestowed upon him by his lowly subjects, whose virtues were magnified in him, and whose vices in him were entirely lacking. He who de nies the popularity of the Czar among the lowly classes of Kuesia is blinded by prejudice. His kind acts to them in their seasons of plague and famine will never be forgotten, and to-night in thou sands and thousands of homes from Vla divostok on the Pacific to the fortresses of the Caucasus millions of people, as they kneel before their icons, will pray from the bottom of their hearts for the rerxise of the soul of their " little father." He was to them as great in soul as he was in stature. There will be sincere mourning, too, in the royal and imperial families of Europe. Not the conventional mourn ing prescribed by rule, but the mourning of little children ; for who has not heard of the annual visits of the Czar to Co penhagen, the home of his beloved Cza rina, when, with the children of Em perors, Kings and Princes around him, he was the biggest child of them all, joining in their sports and romping with them like a big boy? His death will be a most bitter loss to the wife be loved so well that it was a proverb in St. Petersburg that he was " the only Russian who was true to his wife." His borne was an ideal one, and all his pleasure was found with his own family. But as the Czar and not the man he could be as stern and unrelent- less as fate itself. He banished men and women to Siberia, but they were men and women who sought to kill or to overthrow the government of which he was the absolute bead, and wnicn ne oy the most solemn oaths in the great city of Russia, Moscow, had sworn to main tain in its integrity. Since Tuesday, when the doctors in formed the Czar there was no longer room for hope, his Majesty composedly waited for the end, attending to the nec essary State and family affaire in the short intervals ol consciousness and treedom from pain. These were necessarily brief. the doctors having had recourse to seda tives to produce sleep and allay pain. Wednesday the Czar was still able to be taken to a window of the palace, whence he gazed out upon the country be loved. The night passed with all the aggravat ing symptoms and dry cough. lr. bar- charjin remained in attendance upon him tbrougnout ine nigni, only snatcn ing brief intervals for sleep in the ante rooms. The morning broke with rain and wind and heavy clouds, and the weather was much colder. As the day advanced the weakness increased so rapidly that the Czar realized that be could only live a few hours. He expressed a desire to re ceive the sacrament, which was admin istered to him by the court chaplain, Vanishes, and rather Ivan in the pres ence of the whole family. The Czar tben conversed long and earnestly with Father Ivan, concluding by asking his family to again gather around him. He spoke t each member separately and in greatest lengtn wiin me t-zanna. ne blessed all the children present. The scene was one of deep pathos, all being Is not to be expressed bv words, but this grief every Russian heart will under stand, and I believe there is not a spot throughout the vast Russian Empire in which hot tears will not flow for the Em peror, thus prematurely called away, who has parted from the country which he loved with all the Dower of his Run. I .inn Or.nl O Tl fl in iha nralfa-A nl nrl.inli I sparing neither health nor life, centered all his thoughts. But also far beyond the borders ol Russia the memory of the Czar, who was the incarnation of un swerving loyalty and peace, which dur ing his reign was not once broken, will not cease to be respected. The will of the Most High be done. " May oar unshaken faith in the wis dom of Providence give us strength ; may the knowledge console us that our grief is the grief of our entire beloved nation. and may the nation not forget that the strength and firmness of holy Russia lies in its unity and unbounded devotion to us. "In this sad, solemn hour, in which we ascend our ancestral throne of the Russian Empire and Czardom of Poland and the Grand Duchy of Finland, indis solubly linked with it, we, however, re. member me legacy leu to us by our la mented father, and connled with it. we in the presence of the Most High take a sacred vow to make our sole aim the peaceful development of the power and tiie glory of our beloved Russia and the happiness of all our faithful subjects.

The arrest of Captain Alfred Dreyfus of the general stall on a charge of treason and espion age on behalf of the triple alliance is the sensation of the hour. The Captain was attached to the organizing and mobilis ing department ot the general staff, and had access to some of the more Import ant documents relating to the plans for mobilizing the French army. Suspicion against Captain Dreyfus was aroused by his intimacy with an Italian officer. General Mercier, Minister of War, caused a detective to be sent to Monaco and Italy with the result that Captain Drey fus is now under a strict guard In a mili tary prison. Dreyfus is said to have supplied the Italian government with all the plans so carefully laid out during years past lor ine deienae of the Alps, wnicn nave oeen looked upon as form ing a complete bulwark against a possi ble invasion ot France from Italy, and he is also said to have sold all these plans to Germany and to have divulged to Austria and Germany the names of French officers recently sent abroad on secret missions. Captain Dreyfus was marrieu to me aaugnter ol a rich dia mond merchant of this city. Captain Dreyfus is said to have sun- pueu me Italian oincer, who is believed to have been an agent of the Italian gov ernment, with the plans for the mobil ization of the Fifteenth Armv Corns cov ering the Department of the Maritime Alps, Aniecn, I'ouclies-du-Khone, Cor sica. Gard. Var. Vancluse and Marseilles. as well as with the plans for mobilizing the French forces around Briancon, the Alpine Gibraltar. He is also suspected of having furnished the Italian agent with a plan for the numerous fortified positions around Briancon, which are connected by underground galleries with the town mentioned. Briancon is a place of the ntmost importance, especi ally in view of the possible advance of an Italian army into France. Briancon commands the route across Mount Ge nevre between France and Italy, and in addition to being most strongly defended on account of its natural position (it is situated on a hill about 3,500 feet above the sea level), its Surrounding eminences are crowded with strong modern fortifi cations, mounted with the latest artil lery, and as already stated, these fortifi cations communicate with each other and with the town by subterranean pas sageB. A bridge having a span of about 130 feet, and being about 180 feet high, crosses the Oarre Valley and affords ac cess from the principal posts and fortifi cations of the town itself. THE U. S.
