RALEIGH. n. c. March 9th
There has been 8 storm OF indigna'
ton all over the State on account OF
the recent legislation taxing IN
m The law requires the State
Treasurer to construe the Revenue
Act. Treasurer Balm has been asked
Tor his opinion concerning the gen
cral question OF taxing incomes un'
der this new revenue ACT
Late this afternoon your cores
pordent called on bin and found be
had inst written the following op'n-
ion, which be will publish in connec-
ton with the Revenue Act tor gen
eral distribution. He says "Ihe
provision in the former Revenue
acts taxing incomes derived from
salaries aud ices and allowing the
tax payer to deduct $1,000 as neces-
sary expenses for conducting hls
business or supporting bis ianlly has
been amended by striking out the
clause allowing the deduction OF
$1,000. The machinery act requires
the tax payer 10 list only his net in
come. 1t is necessary therefore te
define the words met income The
Treasurer has given the subject care
ful consideration, and has conferred
with his associate officers Of the
State Government"
Without repeating the reasoning
Of bis opinion, be states as follows
"'The word net is allowed its ordina
ry meaning of free from expense, O
10 produce as Clear profit, namely
that which remains after the. deduc
Ton OF all charges or outlay, espe
cial;y following the general cours'
of legis alton, acted upon for nor
than twenty years in previous rev
enne statutes"
The true Interpretation OF the &C
(as given by the T%reasurer) is to al
low the taxpayer TO deduct from hi
gross income the actual necessar
expenses of his business or of SUI
porting bis family. This cons,rue
ton, which. has not been reache
without some difficulty, called TO
the exercise of the utmost care o
the part OF the taxpayer in listin
the amount Of his net income. II
can deduct only the actual expense
OF his BUSINESS or Of supporting HI
family, and such expenses should b
allowed him by the list taker.

ing warrants for the payment of the re-

Under a strict construction of the rules
OF the department, which provides as an
essential condition of the payment of a re-
ward that the accused shall have been 'con-
victed In United States court" this re-
ward could not have been paid, but after a
thorough investigation of all the facts and
circumstances of the arrest and positive
proof in possession of the government that
Burrows, Smith and Jackson were
guilty of a Eumber of mur-
ders, highway aud mail robberies,
and in view of the fact that Carter in the
struggle, which resulted in Burrows death,
received wound which will result in the
amputation of. his right arm, the Post
master General has decided to make an ex-
ceDtion in his case. It will not, however
be taken as precedent for future action.
For tho arrest and conviction Of Smith a
reward of 81, 900 viii be paid to Thomas v
jackson of Aberdeen, Miss.
THE JACKSON REWARD DIVIDED.
In the case of jackson, who made full
written confession aud then committed sui
eide by jumping from the top gallery Of
the Jail where he was confined to a stone

LONDON, Sept. 1.-THE rumor that the

soon show surplus. 1t Is semi officially

HAMS TELLS HIS STORY.
He Claims That He Shot Earnegen IL
Eelf-defense.

HAMPTON, VA, Sept. 11.-In the Hains
trial this morning the prisoner testified that
he started out with Hannegan opposite the
German man-of-war He went to the rip
raps and then over the Willoughby spit.
He turned around aud saw bugeye which
they started to race with. they went up
near Back river before turning down. The
wind died away as they approached the
fort. "Hannegan took an oar
and was pulling on rounds
ing the jetty. Hannegan became
frightened, and started to put ashore This
Hains would not consent TO. After some
more words Hannegan said he would take
the boat down with him. When about op-
posite Capt. Evans house Hannegan said /:
''The boat is so can swim ashore.n Hains
called him q coward, and told him there
was no danger. In few minutes HanneEau
turned around aud said: "By Godl I'll take
you ashore if have to take you with me. n
Hams said: ''You can't do that" Han
negan raised his oar and said: "Tll show
you" Haius then took up his pistol
Hannegan said: - your pistol I'm
not afraid of it." and advanced two steps,
1t was then that Hams fired two shots. He
took an oar and illustrated TO the jury the
manner In which the tragedy occurred.
NOT CRoss-ExAMINED.
Hains was not cross-examined, and with
his appearance on the stand the chief inter
est in the trial ended dramatic scene
was occasioned by the appearance Of young
Hams mother as witness to the close
friendship that had existed between ner
son and Hanneg2. She soon broke down,
and her distress upset the com
posure of nearly everybody in
the court room and caused the first sign of
emotion exhibited by the prisoner. Some
evidence was presented with the object of
determining whether the murder was COM
mittcd within the lines of the military res
ervation or In the county; also to show that
a man sitting in the position of Hannegan.
as described by several witnesses, could not
have struck Hams with an oar, as Hains
alleges he did. The taking of testimony
then closed. The argument will bogln to-
morrow.

very foul in southern waters. Admiral
brown will come north on her and
continue in command of the vessels
on the Pacific station. Capt Schley will
remain for time in the Chilean waters
with the Baltimore, and affairs have SO
quleted down in Chile as to justify tho be-
lief that one ship will serve to look after
American interests there. No decision has
yet been reached respecting the future
station OF the San Francisco, but it is prob>
able that she will be held at Mare Island in
readiness to meet any emergency that may
arise.
