The exact number of c ives lost at this hour (10:30 p. m) is not mown, but a carmful estimate 1uts it at our, while four or live persons were in. t ured, some fatally, in jumping from the n )urning building. 0 About a quarter past 7 o'clock peo. t pie in the vicinity were startled by the report of an explos'on and a flash. In v an instant tie flames were pouring from rl Lhe lower floor of the six-storv building t )ccu,)ied by the Schmalzried 1iirdware Company. The second, third, fourth. and fifth floors were occupied by the Y. N1. C. A., and it was in this place that 'he terrible lose of life occurred. c The fire started from the explosion of w a large coal oil lamp near the stairway, k md in three minutes the entire front of b the building was in flames and all means l )f exit cut oil. There were about fif. Leen people in the library when the 0 ilarm was given. They made a wild ush for the main street exit only to be ' Iriven back by the llams. Like ~a flock a >f sheep, they ruihed iu a bunch for the al inudows at the rear ot the building, but ;he flames had sprend so rapidly through i .he building that the Ptcings of three ofr lhe windows were on 1ire when they a -eached the rear of the building. They stood huddled to-ether at the vindow for a moment or two, when the ,rowd below yelled "leap, Jumip for tour lives!" One man took the advice, tiniped and was cauht on a telet:raph vire but was rescued. iIe was foll'owed 1. moment lit.er by a comrade, who iimed for the same wire, but missed it a nd fell to the pavemeit below.

The )e-mocratic members of m .hi Ways and Means Commit tee have re lot yet made t.heir final revision of any if tiie 4chedult-s, but a number of them ti: tre decided upon for all practical pur- m loses and will not be changed except m n minor details. Te policy of a rev- s< mnue tariff will he pretty c'oselv ad- p tered to in dealing with raw mtaterials nrd partially manugfacturedi goods anido onsidera nie cutsI willf be made on lini-b shed produicta. TJhe l)emocratfi emi-b ers decided at the outset that' they 'ouild accept t'ie declaration of the L hicago p1latform ini regard to the leg- ~ tlat ion of the last Congress as their Wi ile of action. That platform de'- f!h Lared that the party "endorse the ef- uil >rts madie by the D>emocrats of the bf reseint Congress to modify its most sih ppressive features in the direction of Co ee raw materials, arid cheaper man- Lb factured goods that enter into gener- let consumption." There are reasons d >r saying, therefore, that the Demo atic members tunder this provision ill embody in the bill substantially I the pony tariff hills which passed H me House in the Fifty-second Con- m 'ess, providing separately for free i ot aiid re:luced dtites on woolen >0ds, free silver ores, reduced duntles tin plate, free cotton bagging and At ee tin. The threatened deficit in the cat venue will be met by an Income tax, At some of the Democratic memb)ers of nel tom louse whlo are urging the proposi- ani L)n are to be believed. The pressure wbd is been stroiig to impose a moderate tio x on incomes above $2,500, in prefer- at ce to ,)utting duties back on tea, of Ifee or sugar. The exact rate of the elic come tax has not been determined, of it it will apply to all inicomes above ho e amount named, with certain allow-fl ices for house rent andl for losses t rough fire and other causes. It is me lculated that an immense revenue Wi n be (derived from a very small tax ing >onl the incomes earned by professio~-n.re and( b)usiness men throughout the shi untry, and thfs will equalize the his -spreportionate harden imposed upon ani e p>or by some of the tartiflf duties! tru 'ie adoption of' the income tax will hiei actically settie the q iestion of In- hec eases in the Internal revenue tax 0n los blakey, beer aii(d tobacco.

Revenue of Fifty B111lione Dolilars Ex Pected Therefrom. WASHINOTON, Nov. 15.-A revenuf fifty million dollars is expected bj ie Democrats of the ways and meani )mmittee from the moderate incom( Lx which they propose to incorporate i the new revenue bill. The rate ol ke tax will probably be 2 per cent. and le exemptions will be high enough tc iclude the great mass of laboring men ad peoplo on small salaries. The limil ow un<ler discussion is from $3,500 tc 1,000. A great many statistics havc een prepared by the Treasury expertiE a the incomes of the country and the ttes of revenue obtained under differeni lans, and it is believed that a 2 pei 3nt. rate will yield a handsome addition > the revenue of the government. 1 ie increase in the revenue should provQ isufflicient, after a year or two, to meel ie demands of the Treasury, the ratc light be elightly increased, or the limil ' exempt.lon lowered. One of the at, actions of the income tax to those kembers of the committee who are ad ocating it allows changes ia the rate tc iet the demands of the Treasury, with. Lt listurbing the industries of the coun. y, as in the case ot changes in the rill. If the income tax is adopted in the irm now undrr consideration, other ianges in the internal reventue laws ill not be necessary. There will be o increase in the bter tax, the whis ay tax, the tax on manufactured to acco or the tax on cigars. The ques on of the duty on sugar is still an oper ie, but it is not unlikely that a dutj ill be imposed of about 1 per cent, er pound on both raw and reflned sug. r. This will enable the committee tc >andon the bounty now paid the Lou iana and Nebraska growers, without aving them absolutely without protec. on against foreign competiti >n. It iE so desired to strike a blow at the sugar ut by making the duty on refined sugat ibgtantiallv the same as on raw sugar. lie rcciprocity section, which deals ith sugar, hides, tea and coffee, will obably be stricken from the law, but ithout necessarily abrod!ating the ex ting reciprocity arrangements with ermany, with Spain regarding Cuba kd with the South American couttries. lie articles named will remain free of ity from all countries, unless a small x is Imposed on sugar, and it is not be ved that the countries no%v having re .rocitv arrangements will desire to rogate them, tecause the rotaliatorv ties against Venezuela, Columbia and titi -uav be abandoned. The (reatment of bituminuous coal is other open question with the Demo. ifs of the commi.tee. Coal was on , free list in the oi ignal draft of the riff bill, in accordance with the pldge 'he Democratic national plattorm to odify the McKinley law in the dirce. m of free raw materials. The pro. sta from the coal districts oi West i- ginia. Pennsylvania, Tennessee and labaua has been so strorig, however, at some of the members of the corn ittee are weakening, and may vote to 1ain a small duty. Chairman Wilson hopes to present e completed bill to the Repubi;can embers of the ways and means com ittee by the latter part of next week, that they can have their minority re >rt ready upon the meeting of Con. ess in December. HIe is not in favor a party caucus to pass8 u,>on the bill, It believes that, it should toe fairly con lered by the 110use as p)resca ted by s committee. This was the course thi the Mills bill, and no caucuses ,re held until debate began, under the e minute rule, on the separate ached ~s. Mr. Wilson believes that the 1 will be more symmetrical and con tent if' taken up as it comes fro,n the inmitt-ee, and that general debate in SHouse will solve some of' tbe prob ns which mIght cause an intermninabile cuission to a p)arty caucus.

The schools in the towns and c are, in the main, supplying the nee4 tihe people, but this is because of fact that they have voted to levy at ditional tax for the purposes of opi ing them.
