Predicts American Downfall.

LONDON, May 6.-The Post commenting
upon the performances of the American
horses at Newmarke, says: THE Ameri-
can boom was bound to die sooner or later.
The early symptoms thereof We're supplied
Thursday, when three of their Vaunt 4
representatives, Stonenel, Harry Reed and
Montauk went down like ordinary stock.
As for the time trials and other eCcen-
tricities in running, Montauk is not a flyer,
and il is a very open question If Harry
Reed viii have any English supporters for
the Jubilee stakes, for no one is insane
enough To believe that English horses,
trainers and jockeys have been standing stlil
for generations past to clear the way for
American advance. If StOnenell was seen
at his best In the race for the March stakes,
when receiving fourtc n pounds from Best
Man, his Incompatible inferorIty was eX-
posed TO n ridiculous extent"
The Times says: The American horses
ran we'll enough to justify the belief that
they will yet prove that they are deserving
OF the character they enjoyed in their own
country"

INCOME TAX HEARD TODAY
Argument Will Open This Morning Before
the Full Court
POSSIBLE CHANGES IN THE LAW
Cannot lie Modified as to Rents Unica
at Least Two Members Change
Their Votes with jus
tlce jackson.

WASHINGTON May Sit is not known
what time will be given to the reargument
Of the income tax cases, which is to be begun
In the United States supreme court tomorrow.
The order Of the court granting the rehear-
ing did not specify as to time, and the chief
justice is quoted as having said since the
order was made that the argument would be
at length. On the first arguments about
twelve hours time, equivalent to three su.
preme court days. were given to the subject.
Then three attorneys were heard on each
side. The chief Justices order in the pres.
ent instance provides for the hearing OF
only two counsel on each side. 1t Is, there,
fore, probable the argument will be extended
over at least two days. and 1t is possible
counsel will seek to have 1t cover even mora
time.
The motion for the rehearing was for a
second hearing on the points on which the
court was divided but Attorney General Olney
stated in his brief on the subject for a re-
hearing that in case the petition should bs
granted he would ask to have the entire
question reopened saying the government
had never been heard as to whether tax on
rentals or dividends on bonds was constitu-
uonal as an original proposition. and inti-
mating that he should like to have an oppor-
tunlty TO go into the question at length
JUSTICE JACKSON'S POSITION.
As the entire question is new to Justics
Jackson. In the sense that he has heard
none Of the oral arguments 1t is considered
not improbable that more or less argument
on all sides will be permitted Whatever
the conclusion of Justice jackson, after hear
ing the arguments, no reversal of the opn-
Ion OF the court in regard to incomes from
rents and public bonds is possible unless at
least two members Of the court who partic-
ipated in the former decision change their
votes. The court stood six to two in pro-
nouncing that part Of the law unconstitu.
tional. On the remaining features of the
law the court divided and il all the members
of the court vote this time as they did be.
fore. Mr.. Jackson's voice will decide the
matter
1t is understood that Attorney General
Olhey Will appear in person in the presenta-
ton or the governments side Of the question.
and 1t is probable he will be supported by
Assistant Attorney General Whitney. Mr..
Choate Will also again be the principal speaker
for the appellants.
Associate Justice Howell e. jackson of the
United States supreme court arrived here to-
day from Nashville, Tenn. He expects to
participate in the proceedings. Joseph H.
Choate and his son and Hon b. H. Bristow
OF New York also reached the city tonight
presumably to take part in the court pro-
ceedings.
Omaha daily bee., 1895-05-06

Quincy won the third game from Omaha
almost as she pleased and in the presence of
the largest crowd OF the season. at that.
There were in the neighborhood Of $500 peo-
pie present, and among them was a lattering
representation of the fair sex.
Balsz did the bulk Of the pitching for the
local outfit, but his work was in lamentable
contrast with that Of the opening day. He
was both wild and easy, and every man on
the Illinois delegation hit him for one or
more safes. Eagan relieved him in the sew
enth inning after two runs had been scored
off him, but he was unable to stem the tide
and took little Of the medicine with which
Balsz had almost foundered himself.
The score shows three more errors for
Quincy than it does for Omaha, but this only
goes to demonstrate the fallacy of base ball
scores, for the Omahas were Overwhelmingly
ouplayed at all points in the game. While
they made but four errors, they made enough
wooden-headed plays to last them the balance
of the summer. and what the team most
needs just now Is another captain. Hutchn-
; son is unfit for the position. and it is false
doctrine to interfere with his effectiveness by
shouldering these duties upon him. Lohman
or Ulrch should be given the captancy be-
fore another game is played.
A word with reference to the QuinCys, then
good evening. They played superior ball all
along the line. Boland's remarkable batting
being the principal feature. although every
man covered himself with glory despite the
errors made. Again It Is asserted Brackets $
band will be there or thereabouts when the
season ends, and you can drive a nail here.
The score.

NOT THE RIGHT KIND OF DAY

-N'"'-
Mrs. Maude Lord Deakes announcement
that she would give a spiritualstlc seance at
Patterson hall yesterday afternoon drew an
audience of over 100
She seemed TO have been forsaken by all
agencies commonly supposed to aid on such
an occasion as this and to fail of resource in
the hypnotic or mesmeric power. 1t appeared
TO be all mere gness work, in which the odds
showed so heavily against her that the audi
ence. aggressive enough to begin with soon
came to the point of open laughter at each
successive bluHder People who insisted that
they had no relatives dead were told that they
had, and woman who never had a child on
earth was told that she had one in heaven.
Your mother was a Methodist" said she
to one party.
"oh, no. was the answer, "she was a

Mrs. Deake was almost as unfortunate in
every one Of herS rtterances and in no in
stance even apnearea to establish a communi-
cation between the seen and unseen world

Of her blunders attributed them to her op-

THINKS ARMOUR is CUNNING.
chief OF the Bureau of Animal Industry
Answers the porker,


WASHINGTON, May 5.-Dr. Salmon.
chief Of the bureau Of animal industry being
INTERCEPTED as to Armours statement OF an
average constant loss of between II and is
cents on each hsad of cattle slaughtered by
his house during long period Of time, said
he had no criticisms to make as to the ver-
acity Of the statement as far as It goes
but he added. MIR. Armour separates
the dressed beef department from the trans
portation trade and from various depart
ments of his business which are all closely
related. II is currently rumored and gen
orally believed that the firm Of Armour &
Co. have about 5000 refrigerator cars rolling
over the various railroads OF the United
states, carrying dressed beef to their GUS
toners. And some wickedy curious people
declare that they cannot tell when they buy
dressed beef how much Of the money goes
for transportation and how much for meat
Possibly IL Mr.. Armour will state the losses
incurred by his firm in the transportation OF
beef during the same period Of time that he
covered in stating its loss upon beef itself
the further losses OF that firm would so
excite public sympathy that those who eat
beef would eat the more, and those would
eat 1t, too, who never ate It before How
ever, until 1t is known what the losses of
Armour a Co. are on the business OF their
refrigerator cars in carrying dressed meats
the public may refrain from tears"

1t is to be noticed that the cheapest week
was In London. the cost Of living there being
less than so cents each day. As a rule the
living expenses in the large cities were con
siderably less than elsewhere We spent
more than half the time in the great can't
tals-six weeks in London, three in Paris
two in Berlin and one in Rome. 1t was our
plan to secure lodgings where we remained
a week or more In London we had pleas
ant room in Russell Square, only a few
minutes from the British museum. Holborn
and the city. Our rent was shillings a
week. or 10 cents each a day. On Holborn
we found a restaurant where a substantial
roast beef dinner could be had for from &
pence up. Very often we took our breakfa ST
in our room. 1t consisted of coffee, rolls
and butter, cold meat jam, etc. This was
made possible by small alcohol stove and
a supply of provisions. In Berlin we had a
large and very comfortable front ROOM con-
tanning two beds, a lounge, arm chairs,
CRATE, piano, etc, which cost us 10 marks
for the two weeks, or 13 cents a day each
In Paris we paid even less for a room at
hotel. We were nearly always fortunate
in having a definite place in mind before
arriving in a city. This came to us by dill
gence and perseverance in cOnversing with
fellow travellers. We always made 1t a rule
TO arrive early in town, so that we could
secure rooms to advantage. We asked ques-
tions without stint, and prevented ourselves
from being swindled by making definite bar
gains at the beginning.
