INCOME TAX AMENDMENT.
Senators Bailey and Cummlnl Cannot
Agree on Form.
WASHINGTON, May 25.~The fact
that Senators Bailey and (‘Iliumins
have been unable to come to an agree:
meat on the form of an Income tax
amendment to the tariff bill renders it
likely that the views of each will be
voted upoli, and from present indica-
tions it. is probable that each will be
sent to the judiciary committee for
approval.
The only agreement that has been
reached between the Denim-rats and
the "Progressive licthdII-aus“ is that
the Bailey amendment shall be pre
sentod first. It is the intention of Sen-
ator (.‘unnuins to offer amendments to
the oniendlncnt. in order to perfect It
in acc‘ordante with his ideas on the
sublett of an laconic tax. and, failing
to do this. to offer his own amendment
alter the Bailey plan has been sub-
mitted and a vote taken.
All a motion to commit the award
file-Ill. to the judiciary committee would
take precedence, and a poll of the sen
ate is said to show sutiiclent strength
to carry such a motion, it is improba-
bio that an opportunity will be offered
mperfeci. the measures In the senate
to the satisfaction of the supporters
of an income tax.

WEAKFISH.
In abundance and popularity the
wenltiish is known in more anglers of
the Atlantic coast than any other fish
caught in salt waler.
reTheaweakfish swirl in large schools
near the surface and are very vora-
cioufi, destroying the young, even of
their own kind. It is abundant. along
the entire coast except when interfer-
ed with by the blueflsli. iis bitterest
enemy,- both arrive In the vicinity of
New York about the same time. but
the latter being the swiftest swimmer
and more savage fighter, possibly in-
terferes with the food supply of the
weakflsh, and iii litany instances whole
schools are driven away where they
would otherwir': he p.2rrtifnl. Some
seasons we flird them scarce through-
out its range, but this has not happen—
ed for several seasons; indeed. they
have been remarkably abundant and
wonderful catches have been reported
this season, particularly off the Staten
island shore and great South Bay, Ja-
maica flay and City Island waters. The
weakflsh is very erratic in tempera-
ment and movement: one day it is
taken on a certain tide, the next day it
bites on another tide; some times it
will bite well on windy days, and at
other times on calm days. It is ex-
tremely shy and sensitive to vibration
and sound: splashing of oars. dropping
the anchor too forcefully have a ten-
dency to drive them all away. Thun-
tier will send them to the bottom. and
perhaps tWo days will intervene be-
fore they will again rise to the sur-
face. If sharks are in the vicinity. you
may put tip tackle for the day. Some-
times the fish are caught near the
bottom. then again, they are found
about midway between; it is supposed
they go where food is most plentiful.
It is this uncertainty of locating them
that constitutes the greatest charm in
fishing for them But. when once lo‘
cated, and cliummlng is properly be

nest: any angler who knows how to go
about it may land from ten to fifty fish

RUSSIAN RELIGIOUS LIBERTY.
Duma Considers Legalizing the Sect
of Old Believers.
ST. PETERSBURG, May Zia—The
Durua today began the discussion of a
law legalizing the sect of Old Believ-
ers. This Is the first of a series of ini-
portant measures designed to put. into
effect the principles of religious lib-
erty enunciated in the emperor's manl-
fosto of May 13. 1905. The Old Be~
Iievers separated from the parent
orthodox church during the period of
religious reforms undor Peter the
Great.
The bill grants the Old Believers the.
free practice of their religion together
with certain special rites. but It denies
them the privilege of proselytlng
among the members of the orthodox
church, of preaching in public. or of
using the title of priest for their cler-
gymcu. The bill was subjected to a
twosldcd attack. A representative of
the filly Synod denied the right of
Parliament to legislate in matters af-
fecting the orthodox church, while the
i berals proposed amendments remov-
i g the above restrictions.
The measure probably will be pass-
ed in the form it. is reported to the
llurua.
