CORBETT AND JACKSON.

The National Sporting Club VIII Not
Put UP Purse for the Fight.
LONDON, May 13.-A crowded meeting
of the National Sporting Club was held
tonight. at which the Secretary read the
dispatch addressed by Manager Brady to
the club expressing Champion Corbetts
willingness to meet Jackson before the
club. Jackson was present, dressed in
the latest style. He made speech beg
ging the club to put up purse and let
him have chance to meet Corbett. His
proposition, however, met with no re-
sponSe. Owing. it is said to Corbetts s
sneering allusion to the National Sport
ing Club, it has decided to decline to put
up purse.
Peter Jackson said tonight to re-
porter of the Associated Press: II do not
think Corbett is in earnest this time. He
knows he is unpopular with the National
Sporting Club, and had small show
with them to hang up a purse. Then it
IS very near the close of the season, and
their books are full for the next season. l

anywhere, and have always been anxious
to do so. You will remember that my
challenge has always been open to him.
But do not think Brady is really in
earnest about this proposal. He must

ton of the Supreme Court, and that it is
confidently expected to have the opinion
in the case ready for announcement next
Monday. No authoritative statement as
to which way the decision will be can be
secured, of course, but all that can be
learned goes to corroborate the Asso-
ciated Press report of Saturday that the
indications favored the upholding of the
law on the points that remain,
A member of the court is responsible
for the statement that there will probably
be two opinions, but would not go to the
extent of indicating on which side the
majority would be. The present inten-
ton is to make the opinions compara-
lively brief. They will cover only the
questions left undecided IN the first de-
cislon. as to whether the void provisions
cover the whole A ct, whether the Act as it
affects incomes from personal property
as such is unconstitutional, because it
provides for direct taxation of them, and
whether the tax is invalid on account OF
want OF uniformity. The understanding
now is that Justice Harlan will prepare
the majority opinion sustaining the law.
The court at this session will render
opinions on a large number of other
cases which have heen urged. Adjourn
ment for the summer will not be reached,
however. until the following Monday,

INCOME TAX LAW.

Belief That Decision VIII Be Reached
Favorable to the Government.
WASHINGTON, May 13.-Justlce jack
son called at the White House to-day and
paid his repects 10 the President. He ex-
pected to leave for Tennessee to-night or
tomorrow, in the expectation of return
ing here IN time for the October term Of
the court, and his house is being put in
repair, in anticipation OF his permanent
residence here at that time.
The officials of the Government inter-
ested in revenues are much more hopeful
of a favorable decision, and while former
ly expressing the belief that the law
would be upset, now say that the facts in
reference TO Saturdays conference OF the
Supreme Court, as given in the Associated
Press dispatches, make them confident
that Justice Jackson has voted in favor of
the constitutionaiity Of the law, al least as
regards the points OH which the court
was divided.
The income tax returns already re-
ceived at the Treasury Department are
being classified and recorded Although
the officials are extremely reticent on the
subject, 1t IS believed the rent exem ptions
will amount to 40 per cent of the whole.
The whole number OF returns made under
the law is approximately 81, ,5UO, CO., and
the estimate Is made that these represent
not more than 15 per cent. OF the number
of persons legally liza BILE under the law.
II the recent decision of the court is
sustained next Monday, as is now re-
garded altogether probable, the deliu-
quents will certainly be proceeded
against as rapidly a. possible, and it is
thought that the 30 per cent. penalty i'm
posed by the law will not be reinitled in
any case. 1t is asserted that tie persons
who have failed To make returns have
done so with clear understanding of The
law, and IN many cases have refused to

WAsHIN GToN. May lS. The phase of the
important pending question between Eng
land and Venezuela, inwhich the United
States has interviewed to ask arbitration,
is involved in The demand OF the State
Department. for the resignation of United
States Minister Hazleton OF Venezuela
on serious charges made by Admiral
Meade.
Minister Hazeton regards the charges
as inspired by pique. aud as an evidence
OF this he cites political representations of
direct and indirect character by which
he says Admiral Meade sought to impress
the Venezuelan Government and public
that the visit OF the United States squad.
ron was something more than courtesy
ana involved political assurances that the
United States was about to lend the
strength OF its navy To maintain Ven
ezuela against Great Britain. The Min
ister says this impression characterized
all the AdmiraPs actions while the
United States fleet was in Venezuelan
waters. 1t was SO marked as To attract
the notice OF Nenezuelans. The Govern
ment officials, who were we'll informed of
the pacific character of the visit, were
surprised that the impression should be
given that there was political significance
in the visit.
Mr.. Hazleton says this course aroused
a decided feeling of disapproval among
Government authorities. They did not.
he says, care to be patronized, when, as
they understood the facts, the visit of the
fleet was an incident to it's being in
southern waters, and was not intended as
evidence OF the position of the United
states Oh the international question in
volved.
The Minister to-day referred to Ad-
inlral Meade's address as meaning MOI re
than an expression Of the usual official
courtesies, and declared that it conveyed
the general impression that the United
States steamships were there as an
evidence Of the political policy of the
United States.
1t was stated at the White House to-
day that the action taken in the case Of
Minister Hazleton would not be recalled,
and that Mr.. Hazleton would not return
to Venezuela as Minister of the United
States. 1t is stated authoritatively that
The Intervention of Mr.. Smalley will not
avail anything in Mr.. Hazleton's case,
aud at the State Department il was said
that Admiral Meade's charges were sub
stantiated by the testimony Of all the
officers with the Admiral.
