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.

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.

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.

him from all bis greatness.
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

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

Plans of Defense.
Pawh, November 8. 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.
