GAIN FOR THE TREASURY.
Income Tax Returns May Foot Up
Over $50 600, 900.

According to a Washington dispatch,
the number of persons and corporations
liable to taxation under the provisions of
the income tax law was originally esti-
mated at $1,000. 1t is now believed that
returns will show that over 100000 indi-
viduals, estates and corporations are in
receipt of annual net incomes in excess of
$4,000. Blanks to the number of $780,
900 were sent out to revenue collectors,
but that supply proving entirely made
quate, another 100000 lot was printed,
and now these are more than half gone.
Upon information offered by revenue col
lectors the Commissioner of Internal Rev
enue bases an opinion that very little
trouble is going to be experienced in col
;eciing the tax.

ALL GAINS ARE SLOW.
Industries Make Little Progress, but
with Effort.

X. G.. Dun * Co.'S weekly review Of
trade says: No gold gone out, though
sterling exchange has risen close to the
exporting point, and it does not yet appear
that the syndicate has made any effort to
control the exchange market. London has
sold about 10000 shares of stock, and the
market is distinctly lower for railroad
shares. though q shade stronger for trusts.
The stock market waits abjectly for Lon
don, and foreigners show thus far more
disposition TO sell than to buy. Withdraw
ais of gold by redemption of legal tenders
have not ceased, but since the closing of
the syndicate contracts have averaged

LIVES CRUSHED OUT.
Five Killed and Nineteen Injured by
Falling Walls in New York.


Two buildings, one in course of con

collapsed in New York Friday, killing
five men and fatally injuring or manning
nineteen others. The first accident OF
CURED about 9:30 o'clock in the morning.
At the corner of 43d street and 10th ave-
nue. house was being torn down by
about forty laborers, and fell with II
crash, carrying several workmen to the
basement, three floors below. They were
completely covered by tons of brick, dry
mortar and iron beams. In this four were
killed and seven hurt. The second acct
dent occurred about $3.50 o'clock in the
afternoon The central wall TO the four
double tenement houses being erected ar
151 TO 157 Orchard street crumbled and
fell. With the wall went portions of four
floors. leaving great rent fifty feet long
and thirty feet wide in the center of the
buildings. 1t was like n pit, ut the bot
tom of which was n mass Of tangled IRON
and broken wood that covered many men.
From that heap in an hour had been taken
out one man dead and twelve injured. In
both cases the contractors were arrested.

Critical Situation of American Mis-
siouS in Armenia.

Constantinople advices say the situa-
ton of the missionaries of the American
Board of Foreign Missions ut Marash is
critical. The Governor of Aleppo has
accused them of insurrectionary designs,
and has caused the police to seize and open
all letters. boxes of food and clothing,
etc, addressed to them, although the
boxes were examined on entering the
country He has also imprisoned the
muleteers who were conveying the boxes.
The governor has repeatedly declared in
public that the missionaries are import
ing arms for use against Mohammedans.
Unless the calumnes shall be disproved
a catastrophe is possible at any moment
through an outbreak on the part Of the
incensed population.

From Chicago to the Sea.

One of the most interesting schemes
brought forward in this country was in.
troduced in the Senate the other day by
Mr. Allison. 1t is resolution to create
n commission conformity with Canada to
investigate and report upon Il ship canal
from the great lakes to the Atlantic. This
scheme is designed TO make Chicago an
ocean port and TO enable the largest
ocean freight steamers to steam from the
head of Lake Michigan TO the Atlantic
at the mouth of the Hudson river. A com.
pany TO construct such canal has been
already chartered in Canada. and Il ma
tional charter is now sought ut Washing
ton. A number of prominent Chicago
citizens are among the incorporators of
the company. of which Chauncey i. Dut-
ton, of Pittsburg, is the original promoter.
The plan has attracted n great deal of
attention in Washington, and some of the
leading men in both houses have been
interested by the vast possibility and
seeming practicability of the enterprise.
The route of the proposed waterway is
via the lakes and the Welland Canal,
which will he deepened and used in part,
the course then diverting TO the Niagara
river. To pass the falls, pneumatic and
hydraulic lock is proposed, to raise or
lower ships bodily 100 feet.
