CHICAGO, April s.-A special dispatch
to the Tribune from Washington, d. c.,
says: The United States supreme court
in the income tax case has reversed the
decision of the lower court, but the in
come tax law as a whole is upheld, but
only by divided court. Two impor-
tant portions of the law, however,
have been decided to be unconstitu.
tional, and they are SO serious as
to affect materially not only the
revenues of the government, but
the estimation in which the income
tax will be held by the people. I'm.
der the decision to be handed down
by the court, it is said, all incomes de-
rived from rents are exempt from taxa
tion by the federal government and all
incomes derived from state municipal
bonds are similarly exempted. In 9TH
as it was passed last August but the
result of the consultations in the su-
preme court shows very conclusively
that the law can be easily picked to
pieces, provided suits are brought to
contest each particular point as it
comes up.
It is curious fact, but none the less
true, that the law, which was passed
at the dictation of the populist wing
OF democratic congress has been dis
torted by the decision of the United
States supreme court clearly on con-
stitutional grounds in such way that
it will absolutely protect the class of
capitalists most offensive to the popu-
list element.
The landlords of the country will pay
no income tax. The owners of bonds
of almost any kind, either federal.
state, county or municipal, will also
be free, while the business man, the
manufacturer and the seiaried employee
will, for the present at least, be COM
PEELED to contribute to the treasury of
the United States government per
cent. of all incomes in excess of $4,000
per annum. The first meeting of the
supreme court was held March 16 two
days after the conclusion of the argu-
ments, but no decision was reached and
it was not until March 80 that they
succeeded in agreeing upon the outlines
of decision covering the opinion of
the lower court
The court was evenly divided. JUS
tice jackson was too i'll to take part.
Chief Justice Fuller and Justices Field,
Gray and Brewer were opposed to the
law. Justices Harlan, Brown, Shiras
and White voted to sustain the law.
The expectation among members Of
the court is that the decision will be
rendered Monday in open court, but
there is a bare possibility that the
courts may again split up into irrecon-
cilable sections and hold up the de.
cision.

GOOD LUCK.

A oor Young Woman Excites a Rich Wild

Dollars.
PORT JERvIs, N. Y. April 6-Agnes
Epplewhite is poor young woman
who earned her living during the sum
mer months by musical recitals at the
various hotels here. She now lives in
Chicago. One of the guests last year
was Mrs. Hendricks, wealthy Phila-
delphia invalid. She took fancy to
Miss Epplewhite, who often played for
her, and two weeks ago the young
woman was notified by Philadelphia
lawyers that Mrs. Hendricks had died
and left Miss Epplewhite $1,000, O00.
Mrs. Hendricks was paralytic, and
the numerous little kindnesses the
young woman showed her, together
with her musical talent, which the old
lady greatly admired, made soft spot
in the widows heart and the big for.

WILDE LOSES.

The Libel Suit Decided in Favor of the
Marquis of Oueensberry---Osca Arrest
Will Follow.
LONDON, April 6.-The suit of Oscar
Wilde against the Marquis of Queens
berry came to a sudden and unexpected
termination Friday shortly after the
third days proceedings were begun in
the Old Baily before Justice Collins.
Sir Edward Clarke, leading counsel
for the plaintiff, asked permission on
behalf of his client to withdraw the suit
and submit to verdict of not guilty in
regard to the words posing as :"
written by the Marquis of Queensberry
on the card left by the marquis at the
Albemarle club for Wilde on Febru-
ary IS and which card formed the out
ward basis of the suit. The jury under
instructions from Justice Collins re-
turned a verdict of not guilty, coupled
with the statement that the justitica-
tion set up as defense by the marquis
of Queensburry was true in sub
stance and in fact and that the state
ment complained of was published for
the public good.
The authorities are reticent as to
what course will be pursued, but it is
learned that they are watching Wilde.
Later in the day application was made
at the Bow street police court before
Sir John Bridge, the presiding magis-
trate, for a warrant for the arrest OF
Oscar Wilde, and the magistrate
granted the application.
At o'clock Friday afternoon Wilde
was arrested and placed in cell at
the Bow street station.

LONDON. April s.-Oscar Wilde's
friend, Taylor, was arrested and taken
to the Bow-street police station Satur-
day morning. Oscar Wilde himself
was arraigned before magistrate Sat-
urday morning and charged with in
citing young men to commit crime, and
also with having actually committed
crime himaelf.
After Wilde's arrival under arrest at
Scotland Yard Friday evening he was
searched, and then locked in cell.
Shortly after he had been locked up
one of his friends arrived
in a carriage at the station with a
small Gladstone bag, containing a
change of clothing and other neces-
saries, but the police refused to permit
him to leave it. Later in the day Lord
Alfred Douglass went to the police sta
tion and inquired whether Wilde could
be admitted to bail. The police in
spector explained that Wilde had been
arrested for criminal offense, which
did not allow of bail being accepted un-
til he had been arraigned in court.
The prisoner was allowed to receive
his food from hotel.
The Westminster Gazette, comment
ing on the result of Wilde's prosecu-
tion of the Marquis of Queensberry,
says: The case proves that it is un-
true to say that art has nothing to do
with morality. Wilde's art rests on a
basis of rottenness and corruption"
When Wilde was arraigned in the
Bow-street police court, Saturday
morning, Alfred Taylor was also
placed in the prisoners dock. AS Tay-
lor stepped into the dock, Wilde smil-
ingly recognized him. Taylor is man
of medium size, with sharp features
and fair complexion.
Charles Parker, 10 years of age, was
the first witness examined. He gave
in detail the par ticulars of his intro
duction to Wilde by Taylor. Parker
testified that he had frequently dined
with Wilde at various restaurants, and
detailed the conversation between
them on these occasions. He also told
of his visits to the Savoy hotel with
Wilde, and of meeting Wilde in St.
James place. He made frequent visits
to the latter place.
The story told by Parker, if true,
proves the case of the treasury against
Wilde.
Counsel for Wilde and Taylor re-
served their rights to cross-examine
Parker.

TRADE REVIEW.
Reports From Chief Centers of Whole
Trade Very Encouraging.

Reports From Chief Centers of wholesale
Trade Very Encouraging.
New YORK, April 6.-R. g. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade Satur-
day says:
Commercial failures in the first
quarter of 1895 numbered 3,sO2. with
liabilities of s47,s1a, es3, averaging sl2,-
900 each. There were also 35 bank
failures, with liabilities of s12,6s2, ,537,
or about $36O,OOO each. If both were
Jumped together, as in other re-
ports they are, the aggregate OF
liabilities here reported would be
$50. .496, ,220-that is, S13,5sO,OOo, or
$50 per cent. more than is shown in
any other report for the quarter. But
Dun's review not only gives CONNER
cial and banking failures separately,
but shows that of the former 651 were
of manufacturing concerns, with liza
bilities of SEQ, 223, ,991, averaging $4,000
each, while 3,1O7 were of trading con-
Germs, with liabilities of S25, ,o79, s94. av-
eraging about $1,000 each. The
decrease in the number of CONNER
cial failures compared with the first
quarter of last year is but III per
cent. while the decrease in liabilities
is S16,OOO,OOO, or 25.4 per cent. About
80 per cent. were in manufacturing
and 20 per cent. in trading. The in
structiveness of the report and its
value as an encouragement are largely
due to the separation of banking
failures, in which the liabilities were
S12,6s2, ,537, against only s3,4s2, 542 last
year.
Returns Of the highest Importance
given this week show the condition
of retail trade in March through
out the country and the distribu-
ton of goods of final consumers
in comparison with the same months
in 1894 and 1893. While the returns
fully given can not be condensed
into a single comparison, and in view
of widely differing conditions, in diff
ferent sections and branches, might in
that form be the less useful, there is
gratifying evidence that in most trades
and districts marked improvement over
1894 is realized, though on the whole
trade is smaller than in 1893. Every
where also the occurrence of Easter in
March last year, but in April this year,
is found to account for much differ.
ence in the volume of retail trade, espe-
cially in dry goods and millinery, and
the severe weather and backwardness
of the season also retarded recovery.
While the volume of trade, in quaint.
ties of goods sold, is nevertheless larger
than last year, but, on the whole,
smaller than in 1893, the main differ.
ence in comparison with 1893 is found
in the general decline of prices, which
makes trade in value smaller even
where it is clearly as large or larger in
quantity.
Accounts from the chief centers o1
wholesale trade are also encouraging
this week. There is not only hope
full spirit but real gain in business,
though not equally distributed geo
graphically or as to branches Of trade.
Payments through principal clearing
houses for the first week of April have
been per cent. larger than last year
and 1873 per cent. smaller than in 1853
Comparison of daily averages by
months show that all sections have
been gaining, butsthe east rather more
than Others"
