Two Suits ContestIng Unjust Taxation or
tho city by tho state.

tho lily Dy tno Sthte.
There are now pending In the courts two
important suits involving s1.123,259, in which
the city authorities, through Comptroller My
ers and Corporation Counsel William H. Clark
are making determined stand to prevent an
unjust apportionment of state taxes 10 the
city OF New York. COMPTROLLER Myers holds the
money and refuses TO pay it over until the
courts decide that the state tax has been prop
erly become charge upon the city
The first case originated under the appor-
tionment OF taxes for 1887. The State Comp
troller. proceeding upon the action of the state
Board OF Equalization. directed that New York
county be directed to raise s4,Ojl.4S7. and this
sum was raised and all of it was paid over ex-
cept the sum of s323.259. which the city de-
clares was in excess OF the amount which could
lawfully be claimed by tho State from the city.
The general ground upon which the city
ressts the payment of this sum is that the
State Board OF Equalization did not
the various, counties. but that It arbitrarily
increased the amount to be paid by New ork
county, and. by iav0ritism and without due
process of law. reduced the amount for other
counties. Tho case was referred to Judge
Edwin Countryman as referee and he has
taken Il mass Of evidences and is now consider

supreme Court for confirmation. In tie course

methods of the state Board Of Equalization,
and produced mass OF evidence to show That
many elements were wanting to make tho
action OF the Equalization Board valid. and
that tho city of New York not only had no rep
resentatiye on the state Board. but that II did
not have fair hearing. and that tho valuations
OF city pro?nerty were arbitrarily increased IN
rest OF the State 1t will be some ume before
this suit IS decided.
The other and more recent case comes out of
the demand by the State authorities for $500

troller Myers refuses to pay on the ground that
1t is not lawfully due. 1t is claimed on the pant

ANOTHER STORY OF THE PARTING.
A Correspondsnt's Account OF Bismnrek's
Last Audience with the Emperor.

Correspondence
Last Audience with the Emperor.
The Berlin correspondent OF the Moscow
RJedomosti has given his paper the details Of
Bismarck's parting audience with Emperor
William IL His story is quite new and derived
from the highest authority at the Berlin court
says the Vienna NeLo Free Iresse. Prince
Bismarck entered the palace at the hour set by
the Emperor. The Emperor was out Fifteen
minutes later he drove up to the palace and
alghted. AS Bismarck waited in the anti
chamber he remarked to an adjutant on duty
there: Yes, yes. man must learn to adapt
himself to circumstances. Never before even
when the Emperor was i'll, have l had to do
anti-chamber duty. Now am getting taste
OF it." When tho Emperor was ready, Bis
marck was summoned TO him. The eN-
Chancellor remained standing moment on the
Threshold of the imperial chamber to say that

Emperor reached him his hand and mottoned

graciousness, but nevertheless request that
yoH excuse mo from accepting the title"
with the idea that Prince Bismarck declined
to support 1t becomingly. the Emperor OK
pressed his Willingness to increase the Princes
income to the size required by the new honor.
bismarck persisted in his refusal. Then the
Emperor spranK from his seat and cried: Il
wish to make you great. That Is ALL"
You cRunot make my name greater than 1t
is" was the answer.
After short pause the Emperor added, with
ill.concealed yeeXation: But, don't YOU see.

you retired unwilllnEy-that there has been

Tho Emperor was silent bismarck asked
permission to take his leave. and thanked The
Emperor for the kindness shown him by the
Emperor's ancestors and tho Emperor him
self. The Emperor was deeply moved. He
embraced and kissed tho PRINCE and at the
bad that we couldn't work together"
Bismarck was received by the Impress in
