Suits Made 1o Order TIRED OF THEIR MATES. Suit of a Southern California Million aire for a Divorce. PAN Dieqo, Jan. 19. An action has been instituted in the superior court bj John H. Gay, jr., seeking a decree of divorce from his wife on the ground of desertou. Mrs. Gay, who came here a few years asjo with her husband from Louisiana, returned to that state about a year ago, ostensibly for her health, aud the suit just filed by Mr. Gay Is the first In-llouiou that has arisen to show that there might be botue othrr reason for Mr.'. Guy's prolonged stay among relatives at her former home. The great wealth of Mr. Giy renders the peudlng action of m ire than pas-ing interest, for while he has not been prominent in business affairs since taking up his residence lu this city, it is kuowu that he is one of the richest mm in 8uthrn California.

THE ADOPTION OF BIMETALISM Is tho Koy to tho Commorco of tho World. Washington, Jan. 19. The full text of the internal revenue bill, in cluding the income tax, baa been agreed upon by the Democratic mem bers of the ways and nieaas committee. It is probable that the measure fill be submitted to the house today. The de tails of the income tax have not been tntde public, but sufficient is known to give a very complete summary of the essential features of the bill, as it will be submitted to the bouse. The bill provides for an income tax to go into efiect Jan. 1, 1895, aud the first col lee 'ion on incomes will be made July 1, 1803. All classes of Incomes are in cluded in the measure, and a uuifnrm rate of 2 per cent on Incomes over 54000 is fixed. It is made obllmtocy on all persons receiving individual- laeomes over $3500 to make return ta, Ike local collector of internal revenue.' These returns are gone over by th"e: reveuue collector, and the tx list is made up of those whose incomes exceed $1000. No tax is levied on those making a re .urn of above $3500 and under $4000, but the committee deemed it expedient to leave a margin of $500 below the ex emption point, In order that the re turns might be sure of all subject to tLe tax. TUB PENALTY ATTACHED. In case a person having an income of over $3300 falls to make return, It He comes the duty of the revenue asnessor to make au inquiry as to the amount of that person's income. If the examina tlou dwclo'jes au income above $4030. his incomsis subjeoted to twice the or dinary tax, aud the person failing to make return is deemed guilty of an or iginal oflense and is made subject to u tine and imprisonment. The miin purpose in framing the above provis ion has been to avoid an inquisitorial operation of the law. The committed tielieves it will do away with the neces alty of h iving asjeHors prying into tbe private bmlites of people unless the latter have taxable income and try to evade tiie law. It is estimated that not more than 85,000 persous will be subject to this tax, so that a groat majority of c'tizeus will not have to make return". Provision is also m-tde by which no in formation can be made public as to the details of the incoms reported by cit izens. Any public or private person who divulges any part of tbe informa tion concerning incomes is made sub ject to criminal prosecution, witb a heavy fine as a penalty. COLLECTION OF TnE TAX. Particular provision Is made for tbe OJlleutlon of the income tax due on salaries, not only of officials, but of sal aries of individuals received from busi ness llnni, corporations, etc Au in dividual receiving a salary does not pay thrttax, but it Is mttde tbe duty of every government, state, county and muulci ptl disbursing officer to retain 2 per cant of all salaries over tbe taxable amount. This 2 per C4iit will be taken o it in bulk ut tbe last payment of the silary for the year. The tax upon cor porations Includes every phase of corpo rate stock. This tax is 'general and, without the $4000 exemption allotted to individual Incomes, provides that, including tbe tax on corporate stock, the corporation aball pay tbe tax and deduct the amount from the dividends of the stockholder. It is made tbe duty of each corporation io take 2 perceut of each annual cor porate income from tbe amount set aptrt for tbe stockholders and pay the total to the Internal revenue collector lu its locality. Severe penalties ate provided for a failure to make tliel proper reductions iroratue uivinenasoi stockholders, or for failure to make re turn to the revenue collector. Tbe en tire business of levying and collecting the tax Is placed In charge of tbe dep uty commlMilnner of Internal revenue.) The diflerent revenue districts are alo provided with deputy collectors, who will especially manage tbe collection of I the income tax. The measure, as finally agreed Upon, Is the detailed elaboration of the plau for an income tax proposed some mouths ago by Hall of Missouri. In tho Houso. Wabiiinoton, Jan. 19.- The consid eration of the tar; ft bill has been re sumed, flie pendlug amendment bt ing that ot Jobuann, of Ohio, placing steel rails ou tbe treti list. Col.

The Fight Will Oomo Off. Jacksonville, Fla., Jan. 19. Tin Duval athletic club luw leased tbe rail way to Mayport for January 2otb. It tho governor stops tho fight at Are tin It will occur at some point on that road under a tent holding six thousand. Ii will be impossible for the governor t stop it. Mitobell is growing in favui la the betting today. Jacksonville, 51a., Jan. 19.--Cor-bett and Mitchell will meet aud linht it out within 30 miles of Jacksonville u week from yesterday. That is a cer tainty. The Duval Athletic Club claim! that while Governor Mitchell's firm stand against the fight Is Illegal aud arbitrary, It effectually disposes of all chunces of pulling oil the mill wlure tbe thing could be mude a financial success in this city. Under the most advantageous circumstances the receipts will not pay the liabilities incurred. It will cost tbe Duval Athletic Club $38, 000 to put Corbett, Mitchell and Ittf eree Kelly In the .ring Thursday. looation of the battlecikuund. The location of the battleground of the Corbett-Mitctiell conlest has bt come known to a few persons outside of tho Duval Athletic Club. It will bt in Nafwiti county, directly north ol Duval county, between the town of Feruandiuaand the city of Jucksonvilli . Fernandtua Is a little over 20 mile from Jacksonville, on the Florida Cen tral & Peninsular railroad. It is sat tbe battleground will be within si miles of Fernaudina, near the villa e of Yulee. Should tho sheriff discovei the place of meetlug, other sites ha been arranged for, and the crowd cai betaken to one of them within au hour'H notice. National Farmors' Alliance. Chicago, Jan. 19.

Singapore advices received by the steamer China give a grapnlo account of the wreck of the steamer Normandy iu the China sea December 6, aud tho escape of Har old M.

THE STATE AND TIIE ORE 10N PAHP1C "An exchange Is of the opinion that the otnto of Oregon should own and operate the Oregon Pacific ruilrood; but we see no reason whv tho people Bhnuld be iHXnd to own mid operate a few r ds of railroad in the coast range of mount ains especially tho people outside ol Albany fnd tbe Paoiflo ocean." Al bany Democrat." The Jouknaii baa not said the stale should own and oporato tho Oregon Pacific Railroad, but It Is not. prepared ti say that it ought not to be douo. It would be far better that the state or national government should own and operate these railroads outright than that -the people should, through the state courts and federal courts, be taxed to carry an oxponslvo receivership In the interest of the attorneys aud bond holders. The state court has been iu control of the Oregon Pacific now several years and for what benefit to tho people? None whatever. Tho state govern ment we have contndjd should exor cise control over those corporations. It Is tho duty of tho governor of any state to protect the peoplo amilnst outrages and oppressions bytheso public corpora tions. If Judge Fullorton cannot con trol tho receivers and muko them run the road honestly and economically, he should bo removed from office. If re ceivers under a state judge ure not there to pay tho laborers first, what Ih our labor Hen law worth? Ho far the receivers of tho Oregon Pacific have morely been tho state agents to settle squabbles between the bondholders In New Y.trk, lu place of p tying the honest debts of tho mon who have per formed the labor and furnished the material to run tho road a number of .wears paBt. Tbe Ilectivers huvo swallowed up tho earnings In big salaries aud enormous attorney fees und travelling expensts while thoso who labored have had to stand back and suffer hardships untold and their families are now ou the brink of starvation, What The Jouhnal has conionned for Is that It Is the duty of the state government to step In and see that Jus tice is done. The governor and attorney goneral aud railroad commission have ull the law und authority needed to act. Gov ernor Peunnyer either has not tho braliiH to comprehend tho situation and direct tho power of the t-tate upon the situation, or ha has not tbe dhpo-ltlon to act. The sale of the property should have been confirmed und the $2(X,000 applied ut once to pay the flrt llenw which are thoso of labor us far as It could be done. Money could bo bor rowed to pay the rest, ubout $200,001) more. The five hundred families that are now Iu want and suffering from the neglect of the company t) pay them certainly have u claim upon the pro tection of the etute. So far the inter ference of the state lias been only to pro to, the corporation managers, who Have done nothing but manage to fill their own pockets aud those of their friends. Tho cry, (hat tbe state should not be taxed to manage the Oregon Pacifle, Is a rank fraud. It Is now tuxed to mis manage It, and to aflord the peoplo no protection whatever. Tho people are taxed. Judge Kullert'm's curt ex penses Id o mnectlon with this rullroal will be found t foot up to thousands. The attorneys, officials and receivers will ull gut tlwlr fees uud oi'arle,whlie the property goes to the devil and the laborers stai ve. Shame upou such a stute government.

A Motevldeo cable says: The usual desultory firing has been going on In Rio harbor for tbe last two days, and the Tanmadaro's rapid gunnery, with smokeless powder, has been unusually effective. The ac tiou of the British gunboat Beagle, In cruising for two days outside the port, has caused tho governmeutoffloers con siderable annoyance. They seem to think she went out to watch for tbe arrival of the Aquldaban omny other rebel ship, nud then bring tho news luto port. Pelxoto's guns ure shelling tbe rebel naval stores ou Gusudes island. Rebels lu launches and tho island garrison mulutuiu their lire ou tho city of Rio duy und night with rapid-fire guns, killing and wounding inoffensive, per sons. This has roused much ill-feeling among even the friends of the rebels, who protest against tho wanton de struction of life, Continuous attacks have been made for the last two days by the fleet upon the landing places of the Neotheroy, but tho government batteries answer briskly, Iresldont Pelxoto has received a" tele phone from Porto Alegre, saying that Jio In-u genu under General Tavates had raised tho solgo of Basro and have fled, aud aro being pursued by Colonel Lampero aud his commaud.
