Taxes Paid on the Gould Estate.

New YORK, December ga check for
$182, 900 was paid into the Office of the re-
ceiver of taxes by the trustees of the estate
of Jay Gould, and the money it represented
is the amount of tax assessed for the year
1893 upon the personal estate of Jay Gould
for $10,OOO,O00 by the department of taxes
and assessments of the city.
The protest was for the purpose of reserv-
ing to the trustees of the Gould estate their
standing in court under the certiorari pro-
ceedings, which they began in July last to
review the action of the tax commissioners,
who fixed the assessment at $4,000, 900 in
spite of the numerous and vehement objec-
tons of George j. Gould and his lawyers.

Victory of a Kansas Team.

A Denver dispatch describing the game
between the Denver and the Baker univer-
sity teams opens thus.
The Bakers won by score of 80 to O, and
all Denver rejoiced. First, because there
has been rapidly growing such bump Of
self esteem upon the Uranium of every men,
Der of the Denver Athletic club by reason of
past victories that life for ordinary citizens
was becoming unbearable; and second, be-
cause the Bakers are such fine fellows and
good players on the gridiron.
They wore out their shoes and tore their
crimson-stained garment; they carried
bloody noses off the field and some very IN
comfortable bruises. They worked hard
and battled molly, but such great victory
caused them to forget all trifes. They
played an honest game and outclassed the
D. A. C's at every point. They stood like
a wall against center rushes; they caught
all end plays, and whenever a punt was
made by the Denver team the ball always
dropped into the possession of the visitors.

The Kaiser and Capriri in Danger.

BERLIN, November 30.-Emperor William
and Chancellor Won Caprivi have each re-
ceived an internal machine. The machine
sent the emperor was delivered at the Office
of the emperor's civil cabinet.
Some of the employees became suspicious
of the contents of the box. 1t was examined
and its real nature discovered. Accompany
ing the internal machine sent the chancellor
was a letter dated Orleans, November "a.
The letter stated that the box contained a
sample of a Wonderful radish seed. In at
tempting to open it with pen knife Major
Edmayer noticed that the grains of gun
powder were falling out. He called police
expert, who discovered that the box was SO
arranged that if it should be opened in the
ordinary manner the hammer would strike
nItro-glycerine cartridge.
The machine sent the emperor was Of q
si:Iilar character.

LONDON, December 1.-THE public version
OF the new United States tariff caused sur

industries of Sheffield. A reporter of the
United Press interviewed the principal Shelf
held manufacturers trading with the United
States to learn their views. They said the
reductions made were not as large as they ex-
pected. Others said they were satisfied with
the bill and expressed the opinion that It
would lead to a revival of orders from the
United States. Those who expected larger
reductions based their hopes upon reports
which their agents in America sent early in
the year.
They now express the belief that the tariff
bill was modified owing to the result of the
recent election. Manufactures generally
want to know exactly what kind of cutlery
will be allowed to come under the IS per
cent. tariff: for if this rate covers medium
goods they see a good prospect of their
American trade reviving. At the same time
they think the low tariff will allow German
manufacturers to flood America with cheap
productions to the serious detriment of good
American manufactures. German makers,

Kaw River Dam at Topeka.

TOPEKA, November 3d.. B. Bartholo-
NEW, who has had charge of the negotiations
for the construction of a dam across the Kan
sas river at this point, received advices from
Chicago that the contracts for the dam had
been let to the firm of Hero B. Herr & Co.,
and General William Sooysmith, of Chicago.
Work is to be commenced at once and the
dam completed by July 1, 1894.
The specifications call for an expenditure
of $850,OO0, but it is thought the total out

upon which the company relied to secure the
money for building the dam have been sold

The surplus reserve now raised to the mon

shadows great demand for good investment
