It was only in the latter part of last. May, when the end of the Chicago Fair was in viow,. that some Californians in Chicago conceived the idea of having a fair in San Francisco.

Y.) to tax the incomes from corporation* 1 per cent, and in heritances 5 per cent., to place a tax of 10 cents on whisky and to restore sugar to the dutiable list at l a cent a pound.

It was also docided, in connection with the latter proposition, to increase the whisky tax 10 cents a gallon--that, is. faom 90 cents to $1--to be levied against whisky in as well as out of bourf. Upon the representation that this increase would work undue hard ship to the owners of whisky in bond it was decided to extend the bonded pe riod from three to eight years. The tax on playing cards, at one time fixed at 0 cents a pack, was reduced to 2 cents, and tho contemplated tax on perfumes and cosmetics was discarded. No increase was made in the tax on cigars, but tho increase on cigarettes-- II pet 1,0C0--was allowed to stand. The committee estimates that the tax on the incomes freni corporations and individuals (corporations being treated as individuals,! will raise $30,- 000,000 revenue--$12,C00,000 from cor porations and $18,00(1,000 from individ uals. The increase in the whisky tax, it is estimated, will give an additional revenue of $10,000,000 per annum.

For some time past a feud has existed between the two towns of Dayton and Fra/ier, and a large party of miners from the latter town visited Dayton for the purpose of demolishing it. During the battle City Marshal Larson was shot through the stomach, the bullet passing th lough his body. John Gustafson was literally cut to pieces, and among a half dozen other® injured more or less was Frank Doud, United States Marshal under President Harrison for Dakota. The miners, the dispatch says, went to a dance at Dayton, where a New Year's dance was in progress. Enter ing, they scared the ladies present, and it was but a moment until they had cleared the room. Shortly after this they went to a restaurant owned by a man named Tucker. The men who were at the dance had armed themselves, and the City Marshal was at the restaurant trying to quiet the miners and induce them to leave town. Some one fired a shot, and it entered the City Marshal's bodv. The riot was on then' in earnest, knives, pistols, and clubs were used. An armed patrol of about twenty men was stationed at different parts of the city by the Mayor, and late the following afternoon they, in company with the Sheriff from For| Dodge and a posse from the same place, arrested .eight of the ringleaders.

Mr. Hill, according to a Wash ington correspondent, has been gunning for Mr. Cleveland's man for months, I'll . .1 i||nr»; , '; • W1I.LIAM H noRVfir.oWKR. and now apparently the game is in his hands. While the report does not make confirmation absolutely impossi ble, it is thought Hornblower's fate is settled. The fight en Hornblower has been wicked. While that gentleman is a capable lawyer, his attitude toward corporations and the apprehension that he might overturn important de cisions affecting railroads caused him to be subjected to the sharpest sort of criticism. CONDITION OF TRADE. ft. 6. Dan .St Co.'s Review Shows Jfo Changes. R, G. Dun & Co.'s weeklv review of trade says: The cloud of uncertainty does not lift as yet. Strong confidence is expressed in nearly all markets ttat trade mast im prove with tho new year, but It la yet too early to expect important change. If really on the way. In the main the conditions continue unchanged. But the proposal of an income tax is not calculated to Inspire confidence, nor does it encourage hope that uncertainty about revenue laws will be sjjeedliy terminated. Tho condition of the Treasury excites less interest with the gold reserve lower than ever and the entire available reserve reduced to $90,000,000 than smaller losses caused when the free sold exceeded $100.- 000,000. Yet the deficit of $37,664,320 In the first half of the current year, the de crease of $30,744,058 in customs receipts for six months, and $10,654,101 in the in ternal revenue point to % large deficit for the year and a greater reduction of Treasury balances than can be safely permitted. At the point of danger is tho large volume of paper circulation, with a narrow gold reserve, the proposal to issue fifty millions more paper by means of coining silver bullion held is not reas suring, and the Chamber of Commerce has earnestly urged an issue of short-time bonds;, as recommended by the Secretary of the Treasury. Money from the Interior still floods this market, commercial inac tivity still causes the amount of idle funds to swell beyond all precedent, and rates are so low that speculation might bo dangerouslv stimulated If a feeling of hopefulness pre vailed. Thus it may be fortunate that diminished earnings repress ardor iu stock speculation, and heavy supplies In sight deter speculation in products. The disbursement of $!>5,000,000 at New York. $27,000,000 in Boston and Pittsburg for January interest and dividends, has pro duced nothing like the usual demand for securities, though after several days of oxcessive selling the stock market rose an average of a dollar a share. Cut rates In crease railway tonnuse without yielding better returns in money, and the dividends oaid reflect past rather titan present con dition* JFree Sliver ' Believed the Wilooi.

The Texas delegation will be solidly against any issue of bonds. I Representative Mc- Tennessee, believes a meas ure should at once b3 passed provid ing for the use of the seignior age of the silver bullion. This would afford temporary relief, he thinks, and possibly obviate the neces sity of issuing bonds. It has been as serted that until the silver bullion now in the treasury is coined there can be no seigniorage, but the men who favor its use argue that when it is known the bullion will coin fifty million dol lars more than was paid for it there can be no reason for hesitating about it._ They do not belie ve it necessary to coin the seigniorage, but that certifi cates may be issued against it. v The Wilson Bill. As ta the Wilson tariff bilf. eral opinion is that it will pull through in some shape or other. Representa tive Tarnsey, a member of the Ways and Means Committee, who has just returned from his home in Missouri, says he found no one among his con stituents dissatisfied with the tariff bill. Representative Hayes, of Iowa, says the bill will become a law in time, and that all differences about it will be adjusted within . the party, so - that there will be no fatal break over it. Representative Ste vens, of Massachusetts, who is & member of the Ways and Means Com mittee, and an extensive woolen manu facturer, says the bill will pass the House unchanged, and that whatever changes are made before the measure becomes a law will be made in the Sen ate. Representative Cousins of Iowa, on the other hand, viewing the situa tion from a Republican standpoint, says that if all the Democratic members of the House that he has heard express themselves against the bill actually vote as they talk now, the bill will ce- tainly be beaten in the House, to say nothing of the Senate, where its chances are at least doubtful. How ever, he says, it is pretty hard to get a Democrat to kick out of the party traces, so you cannot just figure on re sults when Democratic belting bebomes an essential element in the calculation..

Since the rc-assembling of Congress after the holidays but lir.tle has been done. Fili bustering on-the Hawaiian matter and the Wilson tariff bill has been the rule in both houses. It has been almost impossible to accomplish anything more than the confir mation of appointments. The indications now are that the leaders of both parties. In both Senate and House, will unite with the presiding officers in action, vihicli will compel the transaction of business. In any event, exhaustive debates are certain to ensue upon both questions mentioned above, and also the matter of bonds. In the Senate Monday Senator Hoar's resolution of inquiry into Mr. Blount's compensation was referred after a hot dis cussion. Among the nominations sent to the Senate was that of J. M. B. Sill, of Michigan, to be Minister and Consul Gen eral to Corea. An adverse report on the uomination of Hornblower for the Supreme bench was agreed to by the Senate Com mittee.

Within two months, writes a Washing ton correspondent, three colonies have been brought from the West and set tled in Maryland, near Chesapeake Bay. A few days ago a number of col onists bound together by the same creed arrived from Europe, and went down to North Carolina to oocupy a tract of land bought by them. These are signs of a' general movement. The Southern Gover nors met at Richmond last April and adopted an address of welcome to intending settlers. They assured freed- • V " om of opinion and protection of rights ;1 > under tho law to all honest, well-mean- ' , * ing people. Several States have fol-. lowed up this formal expression by or ganizing immigration bureaus and preparing facts about their lands, and the prices of them for inquirers. In a notable way this has been done by Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, Alabama,Georgia, Texas and Arkansas. And now capital has taken tho South erners at their word and i< goingabout the work of placing immigrants in these Southern States after the same plans and methods which settled the great Northwest so rapidly. Perhaps the wholesale response to their invitation will startle the Southerners. There is no doubt that it is coming, and on a scale for which the South is little pre pared.
