MEETING THE INCOME TAX.

Railroad Directors Dedueting 2 Per
 Cent to Meet the New Law.
 NEW YORK, Nov. 2s.--The action of the Catassava railroad directors Ia road leased to the Philadelphia and Reading), in dedueting 9 per cent from the net earnings to meet the new income taxes has created some consternation among small investors who had believed that they were safe so long as their annual incomes were within the $4000 limit.
 "Our road has not taken any action in the matter" said Chauneey NJ. De- pew. ''Some time ago I delivered an opinion at the board meeting that the law was unconstitutional and I believe it is. In the first place do not believe the law will ever be put into force. There is no appropriation adequate for the purpose, and unless the present con- gress provides the money before next March the law becomes imperative.
 "If the law Is carried out, presume the New York Central and the other railroads will deduct the amount of the tax from their net earnings, in which event it will fall upon the stockholders. This will make the law pretty hard upon investors who own small holdings of stock, but whose incomes do not even approach the limit established by the new law"

Lingering AAnese.
 BERLIN, Nov. 2S.-Princsss Bismarck, wife of Prince Bismarck, died at 5 o'clock Tuesday morning.
 Princess Bismarck Duchess of Lauen- berg) has been in poor health for long time. Her illness became pronounced two months ago. She was deeply af- fected and received severe shock when the death of her life long friend, Frau Eugenie Recknow, prioress of the Stolp institute for unmarried women, was an- nounced. Three weeks ago pr. Schwen- finger was called to Friederichshue to prescribe for serious attack of neural gia. Since that time she has been almost continually under the care of physi- clans.
 The condition of the princess became alarming Monday afternoon. It was then announced that the princess had suffered relapse and that great anxi- ety was felt in regard to her condition by the prince and her attendants. All the family was hastily summoned.
 It is feared that the effect of the death of his wife upon Prince Bismarck will be serious blow because of his own falling health and advanced years.

A Physician Says He Has Determined d to Give Himself Up.
 NEW YORK. Nov 2s-There are good reasons for believing that Samuel C.. Seeley, the bookkeeper who assisted in defaulting the Shoe and Leather bank of $354 ,0o0, will be in the custody of the police within the next AS hours unless he should die in the meantime, but he had determined to surrender himself to the authorities and to make clean breast of his share in the rob bery. If the word of well known physician is depended on Seeley is within 30 miles of the city hall, and he has not been much further away than that at any time since he disappeared over a week ago. The fugitive is broken in health and spirits, according to the physician, and may have but few months of his life left to him.

7'HE BONDS SECURED.
Stewart Tells How He Formed
 the Syndicate.
HAD TO WORK VERY CAUTIOUSLY

After Finding Out Who Held the Gold
 He Went to such Men as Morgan First
 and Revealed His PIan-His Scheme
 Leaked Out and He Had to Refuse
 Many oners.
 NEW YORK, Nov 2s.-In an inter- view J. s. Stewart, president of the United States Trust company, explain ing the operations of the syndicate. which has just secured the entire issue of $50, ,0o0, 900 government bonds says:
 Ut was matter that caused @ good deal of worry and good deal of anxi- ety. The first point after had made up my mind to help the government was to look about and find out where the gold was. You see, the point was to get people to go in who had gold and not draw on the government for it. Well, got before me the list of the banks that have large quantities of gold. had to select out of that list those who would use their gold if they went in, who wanted to invest that gold, who would take the amounts of the bonds that were assigned to them, and, lastly, and most important of all in way, who would have confidence enough in those who were at the head of the sym dieate to trust to their discretion in bid ding.
 After had made list of the names I wanted, began with those who would be towers of strength if l succeeded in getting them-such men as Pierpont Morgan I went to see them first and talked it over and got them to say how much they would take. Then I went to the others and got them in.
 ''One of the great difficulties was to keep out those I did not want. When the news of what we were about got out there was rush of people whom it was hard for me to refuse. Another diff culty was with those who were asked in and then wanted more than the number of bonds we assigned them.
 The last point and the most impor- tant of all was matter of deciding what to bid There was where experi- ence and study of the bond market and possession of the channels of in- formation came in most strongly If we bid too little we would lose all or part of the bonds. If we bid too much the profit of the syndicate would be gone. IL was necessary to know just what the bonds were worth in order to guard against failure in the latter con- sideration. And in the former consider ation it was necessary to know just about what others would bld Now, had no means of knowing absolutely, but, sit ting here and going about, the informa- ton came and 1 was able to tell with great deal of accuracy what would be bid
 ''Now, 1t is fortunate thing all around that the bonds are held by our party. When they come into market there will be no cutting of price and the fact that the syndicate holds all, means at least quarter cent more profit There will be good profit in these bouds.
 Tie figures offered by his syndicate were $l17.077 and were for the entire issue of $50. o00. 600 per cent bonds. Secretary Carlisle accepted tho bid as being the test

 ferences In the Usual Way. PARIS, Nov. 2a.-The debate on the Madagascar credit was quiet. During the sitting of the chamber M. Perncarre, member of finance, alluded to an in- sulting article that had been written by M. Gustave Bouanet, 8 socialist editor. M. Bouanet took umbrage at the language and indulged in violently abusive tirade against the minister. The only reply that M. Perncarre deigned to make was: interruptions of this kind are replied to elsewhere"
 This, of course, meant that challenge would be sent to M. Bouanet. After the session NJ. Perncarre sent his seconds to NJ. Bouanet to arrange for a meeting on the field of honor.
