INCOME TAX LAW.


County or Municipal Bonds n Violation
Of the Constitution.
WASHINGTON, April 9.-The anxiously
awaited decision Of the United States
supreme court In the income tax was
rendered Monday by Chief Justice Full
Ter. The court knocked out the law so
far as Il taxed incomes derived from
rents, and also from state. county and
municipal bonds by tie vote Of the
court the law was sustained in other
respects.
The courts conclusions, after re-
viewing the historical and other phases
Of the question, were as follows
In Charles Pollock VS. the Farmers
Loan and Trust Co. ct al, II is estab.
lished:
l. That by the constitution federal
taxation is divided into two great
classes: Direct taxesand duties, imposts
and exoises
, The imposition of direct taxes is
governed by the rule Of apportionment
among the several states, according to
numbers, and the imposition Of duties,
imposts and excises by the rule Of uni
formity throughout the United States
3. That the principle that taxation
and representation 60 together was in
tended 10 DO and was preserved in the
constitution by the establishment Of the
rule Of apportionment among the sew
oral states, so that such apportionment
should be according 20 numbers in each
state.
g. That the states surrendered their
power TO levy imposts and TO regulate
commerce TO the general government
and gave II the concurrent power TO
levy direct taxes In reliance on the pro-
lection afforded by the rules prescribed,
and that the compromises OF the con-
stitution can not be disturbed by leg
islative action.
5. That these conclusions result from
the text of the constitution and are
supported by the historical evidence
furnished by the circumstances sur
rounding the framing and adoption Ok
that instrument and the views Of those
who framed and adopted II
O. That the understanding and ex-
pectatlon at the time of the adoption
Of the constitution was that direct
taxes would not be levied upon the
general government, except under the
pressure Of extraordinary exigency,
and such has been the practice down
TO August Is, 1894 Iftho power to do
so is 20 be exercised as an ordinary
and usual means Of supply, that fact
furnishes an additional reason for cir
cumspection in disposing Of the pres
ent case.
7. That taxes on real estate belong
ing TO the class OF direct taxes and that
the taxes ON the rent or income Of real
estate, which is the incident OF its own
ership, belong TO the same class
s. That by no previous decision Of
this court has this question been adju-
dicated TO the contrary Of the conclu-
sions now announced.
O. That so much Of the act OF August
Is, 1894, as attempts 10 impose a tax
upon the rent or income Of real estate
without apportionment is invalid

ion. lie said II am Of the opinion

Lowest Limit Of Economy.
The Treasury Now Has Working Capital

Ing From Iiond syndieate-Treasury
All Right without Income Tar.

WASHINGTON, April s--From the last
daily statement issued by the treasury
department, 1t appears that tho ex-
penditures for the current fiscal year
TO date OF 2sO days have exceeded the
receipts by s42, 200, 400, the totals stand
ing, expenditures, s2s4, 392, CSC; receipts,
s94s, 003, 1876.
These figures, which embody more
than three-fourths Of the fiscal year,
show that the receipts are running at
the rate Of ss65, 900 day, and the ex-
penditures at the rate Of si,0lS, 900 q
day. II the same rate obtains for the
balance OF the fiscal year. the amount
will stand, expenditures, $50, Az, 900;
receipts, s3i5, 900 This would leave
an excess of expenditures over receipts
of SIS, 600, 900
The expenditures are pared down TO
the lowest limit Of economy consistent
with fixed appropriations made by law,
and are likely TO be increased rather
than diminished; and the increases in
this fiscal year have arisen from the
two following principal sources:
Appropriations by the last congress
made Immediately available, and the
quarterly interest payments on tha
sl65, 100000 OF United States bonds, is
sued within fourteen months TO pro
tect and strengthen the treasury gold
reserve.
So far this month expenditures on
the civil and miscellaneous account, "
the account that carries the principal
items made Immediately available by
congress, are 100000 in excess of the
corresponding period last month. 1,
is, therefore, TO increased receipts that
the treasury must turn TO bring the

A TOUCHING SCENE.
Cuban Insurgents Pay Tribute Il
Their PrisOncrs' ValOr.

Their PrisOncrs' Valor.
Details have been received from Cienfue-
gos, Cuba, regarding the release of the
sixteen Spanish soldiers who were captured
by the insurgents in the engagement fought
at Tardio Ojo de Aqua. In that encounter
sixty-four Spanish soldiers had made q
gallant stand against 200 insurgents. The
soldiers were commanded by Col. Vale,
Maj. Sanchez and Capts. Navarro and Rio.
who were among those captured and re-
leased by Rego, the insurgent leader. The
latter was the first to greet the Spanish
officers, and, embracing Col. Vale he said:
Return to your comrades, heroes You are
an honor to the Spanish nation. and 1 am
proud to be able to boast of descending
from such people"
Then followed a touching moment, dur
ing which the Speniards and the Cubana
embraced each other and babe each other
farewell. the Cubans shouting the Span
iards went away: "Adios, valientes Es-
Ianoles."
The Spanish soldiers, nearly all of whom
were wounded. were well cared for while
in the hands of the insurgents, and ate al
the same table as Rego. The action of the
Cubans has caused great good feeling to-
ward them

JAPAN'S GOOD FAITH.
Mr.. KurinO Explains the Declaration
Made to the United States.

Mr.. KurinO Explains the Declaration
Made to the United States.
Mr.. Kurino, the Japanese minister, has
made statement in regard to the policy Of
Japan in Corea in line with the recent Of
fetal declaration on the subject. Recent
events in Corea," Mr.. Kurino says, ''un-
fortunately have given rise to the impress
sion in some quarters that Japan is seek
ing to exercise exclusive control over that
country, in other words, to establish
protectorate. Nothing could be further
from the truth than this superstition. In
dealing with Corea, Japan has but one OBJ
ject, the establishment and maintenance
of the independence of the Corean king
dom. The presence of a large force of Jap
anese troops in Corea has. doubtless. been
one reason why the impression has gained
ground that the Japanese government de-
sfres to establish protectorate there. The
declaration of Japan does not mean that all
of the Japanese troops will be withdrawn
from Corea when Port Arthur is evacu-
ated, for the retention of a suitable force
will probably still be necessary for the pro-
lection Of Japanese subjects, and the Legal
ton and consulates. But the maintenance
of even such a force is clearly regarded as
temporary, as Is shown by the statement
that the japanese government hopes that
the work of reform having been set in
motion will progress and that consequently
Corea Will shortly be able to maintain or
der and protect foreigners in which event
the troops still retained for those purposes
will be recalled. These declarations should
serve SO effectually to set at rest the ru-
Corea, which have already gained some de-
gree of credence, and which, If uncontra-
dfcted, are calculated to lead to most mis-
chievous and injurious consequences"
