TESTING THE INCOME TAX.
Judge Eagner Will Render Decision
Wednesday.

Wednesday.
Washington, January 16.-The argument
of the constitutionality of the income tax
law continued today before Judge Ha2ner
In Equity court No. 2. Jere M. Wilson for
complainant. said was it a startling proposi-
tion that even if the income tax provisions
were void, the tax ould be collected. 1t
would be remar kable thing if there was
no power in the courts to stop an ohoer
from executing an unconstitutional law. 1t
was no law at all and any officer who exc
cuted it would be amendable to punishment
in the courts. Mr.. Wilson maintained that
the law was obnoxious il that it taxed in
comes reaching back two years in taxing
the same income twice; in taxing incomes
of foreign students. For instance. the law.
he said, sought 10 prevent the thrift enter
prise and energy when it was those things
that made our country.
Assistant Attorney General Whitney
closed the argument in behalf of the govern
ment citing the decisions of the Supreme
court, and affirming the constitutionality
of former income tax laws more obnoxious
than the present tax. Judge .Hagner will
1e1der his decision Wednesday.

Tt Is Regarded as Sure that He Will Be the
Next President of France.
Paris. January 16.-The conference of
Senators and Deputies in the Palais Du
Lueumberg was finally dissolved shortly
before O'Clock without coming to
vote, In consequence of the refusal of
M. Waldrek Rousseau u to be a candidate
the Union Republicans and Union Pro-
eressists put forward as their choice M:
Felix Faure. This leaves M. Brlsson and
Faure the principal candidates. Accord
ing to the latest estimates Brlsson Will
obtain $50 votes Oh the first ballot OF
the national assem- bly, tomorrow. The
secrecy of the ballot for President Will
ensure M. Brisson many besides the rad
ical votes in the national assem- bly,.
There is a considerable mum Der OF depu-
ties who, while unwilling to advocate
openly the election of radical, pre-
fer to vote for one privately rather than
run the risk of dissolution, which would
follow speedily the choice OF any oooy
except Brisson.
Among these secret supporters OF BITS
son will be several opportunists. 1t is
not believed the election will be made
on the firsJ ballot.
Waldrek Rosseau Reccnsiders.
Paris, January 16.-At II O'Clock it
was announced that Waldrek Rosseau
had decided to be a candidate for Presi-
dent. He reached this decision after
mature consideration and consultation
with his friends. If he adheres to it he
will force Faure into the background.
The Pretender Is Ready.
London, January 16.-The Duke OF
Orleans, chief of the French pretenders,

where he will hold himself ready to-
start for France in case political dev el
opment is favor his cause.

BONDsMEN ARE SCARCE.
Dover's New Officers Find EndOrsers
Shy.

Ample Protection Will Be Required in
Harvest-The City Must Hire $50, 900
for Necessary Expenses.
Dover, n. H., January 16.-At a special
meeting of the city government. held to-
night to elect new city treasurer to sue
ceed the latC defaulting treasurer. Isaac f.
Abbott, there was only one candidate. No
one wanted the position under the small
salary, and be obliged to furnish S5o.0oo
bonds. The boards elected Hon. B. Frank
Neatly. ex-mayor of the city and one of its
most prominent citizens. The salary is
fixed at $500 per year, against $3.50 the
usual salary 1t was voted that the finance
committee be authorized to secure the ade-
quate bond of some guarantee company,
and it is estimated it will cost about $500
yearly to pay for the bond. Mr.. Neatly is
retired from active business life. He made
a large fortune in trade, and is treasurer of
the Dover Navigation company and is a
shrewd fnancier. His election was only to
fill out the unexpired term of Abbott and
then there will be new election in March.
TO pay the current expenses 1t was voted
to auth oriZe the treasurer to hire S20, 900 in
the name of the city atil its deposits can
be obtained from the Dover National bank.
The school board met tonight to chose a
treasurer to ill the unexpired term of
Abbott. They elected a member of the
board, James H. Southwick, and voted 10
have the board secure bond of $4,000 of
some guarantee company. All business men
are afraid to sign anybody's bond at
present. No new developments appear in
the National bank situation. and Examiner
Dorr says the loss of the daily ledger
hampers the proceedings. Many pass books
have been received and carefully examined.
A stookholder said this evening that he
thought it possible to have the amount of
default restored by scaling down she stock
of the bank without assessing the stock
holders and thinks that scale of 25 per
cent would cover the deficit. Assignee Hall
will assume control of the Savings bank as
soon as his bond is fled. Nothing was found
to show any default of Abbott in this bank,
and the books are correctly kept. Abbott
received in salaries from both institutions
about $4,000, and had to pay the teller and
clerk out of this. 1t is thought he lived be-
yond his means and this led to the appro-
priation of the banks money.

Rumford Falls, Me-, January TO-
Stephen Taylor, brakeman on the local
freight, was killed at West Peru station
last night, at about $40. He tended the
switch while they set off seven cars,
gave the signal for the enigne to back
to connect with the train, and is sup
posed to have slipped on the track while
irving to cross it, and the engine caught
him, cutting him severely. An inquest
was held here this morning, but no
blame could be attached to anyone, as
it was case of pure accident. He was
about 81 years old, unmarried, and lived
in Mexico.

The s'Pretender'' to the French Throne LIS
at Dover Waiting Call to Return to
France-A Scene of Tumult in the
Chamber of Deputies ON the Reading Of
the Presidents Resignation.
Paris. January 16.-Prest. Caslmir-
Periers message was read in the senate
by M Challemel-Lacour Prest. of
that body today. AT the conclusion
of the reading of the Presidents
letter of resignation in the Cham
Der of Deputies, there was babel OF
comments, among which NJ. Fabre was
heard to exclaim: $50 much the worse
for him.
M.Garran de Balzen shouted: "It is
desertion of the Republic" and mem
bers of the left cried in chorus, "Vive
la RepubliQue."
The message was variously criticized
in the lob bies after the adjournment OF
the Senate and Chamber, and the opln-
ion was generally expressed that M. Cas-
imir-Perier had given a coup de grace to
the present system whereby the Presl-
dent of the Republic is made irresponsl-
hle. 1t is believed the responsibility OF
the President is thing OF the past, ana
the resignation of M. Casimir-Perier will
probably cause radical changes in the
constitution.
In the caucus of republican senators,
held after the adjournm ent OF the SEN
ate. NJ Waldrek Rousseau received 62
votes and M. Brisson SO.
The groups of deputie favorable to the
candidacy of NJ. Brisson had caucus and
discussed the availability of the several
candidates in an informal way, but sep
arated without taking a vote. The Br1s-
son senators and deputies uneartlled a
speech made by M. Loubet in 1883, IN
which he approved the railway conven-
tions. This will initiate greatly against
M. Lou bet, and AS things look now, M.
Brisson's election is certainty. 1t is
expected that General Saussier, the mil
itary governor of Paris, will receive
some votes in the national assembly to-
morrow, though they will be merely
complimentary.
THE EVENING SESSION.
Paris, January 16.-At 7.15 this eve
ming, a delegation of deputies and sena-
tors were still in conference in the Pal
ais du Luxembourg, where they had
been in session sine 5. 30 p. m. Remarks
made by mem bers leaving the Palais in
dictate that an agreement upon a single
candidate is lmpro bable. Waldrek Rous-
seau, upon leaving the Senate, was heard
to declare repeatedly that he was not q
candidate. The Rdherents of M. Bris-
son regard him as dangerous rival tc
their tavorite, or any other aspirant to
the presidency.
