Washington. April i9.-Internal Revenue
Commissioner Miller to-day gave out his
official estimate Of the revenue TO be re-

a letter TO Secretary Carlisle.

of the four judges who affirmed the con-
stitutionahty of the law. and II would
indicate that he doubted the wisdom of
his action. This contingency Is not likely
to occur. In addition to this, the men,

WELL PAID ron A FLoGGING.
How n Poor Naturalist Got the BEE
ginning of Fortune of $4,000, 600.

From the Chicago Times.
John James Mage, a quiet, middle-aged
man, has had a career as romantic as
that OF Monte Cristo. Mage is now a
Guatemalan millionaire, who lives nine
months out of the year in Paris. Twenty
years ago he was a poor English collec-
tor Of insects in Guatemala, and also
acted as the British vice consul at San
Jose.
One day Commandante Gonzalez or
dered Mage to appear before him, Mage
sent word that he would come in a short
time. This incensed the commandante,
and he sent d file of soldiers after Mago,
and, when the insect collector appeared,
ordered seYenty-five lashes TO be laid upon
his bare back. This was done very thor
oughly, and, when 1t was finished, Con-
za!ez shouted:
Give him twenty-five more for luck"
When Mayo recovered, which was only
after careful nursing, as his back was
badly cut up, he made formal complaint
to the British government. The result
was that Guatemala was ordered to pun
ish Gonzales. and to pay Mage $500 (flOW
for every lash he had received. In de-
fault OF this English cruisers would shell
San Jose ana other coast cities.
Guatemala readily punished Gonzalez,
but tried hard to evade paying $4,000 TO
Mage. The British, however, were mex
orable and the poor collector was made
a comparatively rich man IN one day.
As he had more coin than any one in the
country at that time President Barrios
went into partnership with him.
Mayo became one Of the largest coffee
planters, and also secured the contract
for building docks IN the ports. No one
can land or leave one OF these docks
without paying toll to Mage. while ne
also ievies a tax on all freight. He also
