The Mitchell-Oorbott Mill. Jacksonville, Jan.4.-Uuless some thing unexpected turns up, the Cor-bett-Mltchell battle will surely tuke place. It is probable that the origluul plan will be fully carried out but If it is found Impossible to pull the fight oil In this city, a secret battle ground will be selected somewhere iu the limits of Duval or St. Johns counties and the contest will go on as if nothing hud i happened. This is the gist of arrange ments made within the lust few da,s. Corbett yesterday signed new articles agreeing to fight any place in Floii da named by the club. Mitchell at first refused, but today signed.under the new articles. Etch mam will fur nish his own gloves. Within a short time legal proceedings will bo Instituted by tbe Duval club testing tbe legality of the contest. Exactly what these. will be Is not stated by the club peeple but it is a notorious fact that no jury oan be found in Dnval county to decide agalust the battle, it is pretty oertalu the outcome will be favorable to (he club. If Governor Mitchell then sees fit to step lu and interfere all pl'Ht for the fight In Jacksonville will be dropped and now battle grounds select ed. The location will of course be kept secret until January 25th. It will puzzle the governor to deter mine what courss to pur sue to prevent the meeting. Assignment. 8t.

Attempting lo Tax tho Corpor ations. PENNSYLVANIA REPUBLICANS SPEAK OUT Flutform of tho Keystone Lend ers on tho Tariff. Washington, Jan. 3. McMlllin, cbutruiuu of the sub-committee lu charge of the Internal roveuue feature of the tarlfl bill, has outlined the sali ent features of the income tax measure which he expects to complete in a day or two. He said: "Tho corporation part of tho measure will not require an Inquisition on every individual to de termine whut- umouut of corporate stock he holds, but the assessment will be made against und paid by corpora tions in the first instance aud heuce a man owning corporate stock will not be worried by assessors unless he Is sub ject tu the individual iucome tax. As to foreigners aud fureigu associations holding interest aud bearing securities iu this country, will bu assessed the same as our own citizens. The- col lection of the tax will be in the bauds of tuu Internal revenue bureau. Indi viduals taxed will number uot more tuau one-third as many men us wore taxed uuder tho old luco'me lux luw." The bill will provide means for com pulling disclosures as to exact incomes, eoulewuut similar to the methods used by the several states. Penalties for failing to report or for falso reports haVe uot yet been fixed. Jerry dlmp sou said that the populist sectlou ol congress would solidly support tho iu come tux plan. He regarded it us opening the way to free trade. Re pre Huutative Turstiey, ouo of the members of the ways aud means committee, who voted for the luojine tux, toda met the objection that a tremendous oppsltiou would come from the clus recelviug incomes, with the lacouic re marks: "There are more men driving drays than receiving Incomes." Keystone Republicans. Haiuushuko, Peiiu., Jan. 8. The Republican state convention to uomiu ulu congressman at large convened here i'he platform makes the turin the cen tral issue, us the one which It requests voters to give the fullest posslule ex pression as u matter of vital national Importance. It denounces the Wilson oill iu the following terms: "The sim ple uutluipaliou of this measure bur closed thousands of workshops, reduced to idleness 2,000,000 workers, und soup liouses now displace former hives of in dustry. It has reduced values tu un amount greuter than the uutiuuul debt. It will enlarge the free list ou product which employ the greatest uutnbei of American workmen. It will strike with equal cruelty, thi farmer, the miner, lumberman, Iron-worker, glassworker aud textile worker. It will transfer work from om own mills, mines aud workshops to those of foreign couutilos, It is section 1 1 iu its authorship, und all too plainly aimed at Northern Industry. Itttirlkeu Southern Industries only where the same blow reaches the Northern indus try. It fosters the pluutatlou system, and destroys farms. It is un attempt on the part of the free-iraderd of the .South to reduce tho industries of the North to the level of those ot the tioutli. It Is vicious iu a uhauge from specflu to ad valorem duties, the latter inviting foreign undervaluations, lending to con stant accumulative fruuds upon rev enues. It is vicious in reducing Instead of increasing lh revenues. It will re duce the revenues many millions of dol lais, und the reductions will grow with the times. It is ylulous lu compelling the government to make up these defic its by means of increased luternal direit tuxes. It Is doubly vicious iu com pelling Its supporters to resort to the most odious war tuxes or borrow mon ey, Jt is wholly erroneous lu the the ory that the less work there is to do lu this country the higher will be the wages of the workmen. The protection policy conveys an opposing thought iu that the policy which secures the largest umouut of worn at home Is the one which secures the beet wuges to the home workmen. If tho Wilson bill does all them) things iu tbe threat which It conveys, what will it do in its fruillou?" The platform then calls on the Penn sylvania representatives to light for the defeat of the bill, aud closes with a de nunciation of the uuputrlutlo foreign polloy of the Dtfiiiocrutlu administra tion In the Hawaiian matter.
