WASHINGTON. April 12.-Thefs were no de-
velopments in the Italian affair to-day. High
officials discredit the report OF Italys intended
purpose to take such hostile step as would
be that Of ordering Minister Porter from Rome.
Even should suoh an unusual and extrsordin-
ary step be taken. contrary to all expectations.
It is said that it would probably not result in
actual war. but only in an almost complete
severance OF all relations between the two
countrieA 1t is regarded. however. as almost
certain that It would result in q feeling OF in
dignation in this country which would Sc
riously prejndice the prospects OF favorable
action by this country on the Italian sugges-
tions for reparatinn and indemnity.
There was nothing to be lsarued tonight In
respect to the looked-for answer OF Secretary
Blaine TO the note sent by Marquis Impsriali,
and Secretary Blaine had no Information to
communicate to the public on the subject Of
ROME. April 12.-The Opinione says: The
news from Washington Is the subject OF much
comment. II Mr.. B aine Is unable TO make q
categorical reply to ItAly's simple and straight
forward request. We can await the conclusion
OF such strange silence serenely and without
lamentations or threats Public opinion. how

TAXES ON BANKS.
The Constitutionality of the Govern
ment Levy Attacked

Ano oOonetltutionality OF the Govern
ment Levy Attacked
WASHINGTON, Sept. 1s.-The question of
the constitutionality of the tax OF one
half OF per cent. imposed semi-annually
on the national banks has been raised in
case before the district court against the
treasurer Of the United States. Treasurer
Neoeeker has already been served with a
summons in the case. The bank objecting
to the tax is the Twin City National Bank
OF New Brighton, MINI, and the case is in
the hands of attorneys In this city.
GROUND OF THE OBJECTION.
The ground for Questioning the constitus
tlonality of the tax is that this provision of
the banking act originated in the Senate,
and is obnoxious to the constitutional pro-
vision that all bills for raising the revenue
shall originate in the House Of Representa-
tlves. There are also other grounds upon
which the tax is contested in tho present case.
If the constitutional question should be de-
cided in favor of the bank, it is said at the
treasury department., that it might open the
way for great multitude of suits for re-
fund by banks throughout the country upon
claims which are not barred by the sta tute
OF limitations; and it is estimated that it
would take sum running up into the
millions to pay the claims for the past five
or six years.
