WASHINGTON LETTER.
From Our REGULAR Correspondent.


WASHINGTON. Jan. 10, 1896.
There is no exaltation among
the silver men in congress over
the report of bill for the free
coinage of silver to the senate as
substitute for the house bond
bill. This may be because it was
we'll known from the first that
such action would be taken, or it
may be because of the general
knowledge that the substitute
cannot possibly become a law; at
any rate, 1t IS true. It will pass
the senate by decisive majority,
notwithstanding the shreWd move
of Senator Chandler, who has
posed as a special friend of silver,
in Introducing a bill providing

GOULD ESTATE TAX CASE.
Report OF the Appraiser Not Satisfac-
tory to Plaintiff or Defendants.

NEW YORK, March 2O.-Surrogate Fitz-
gerald to-day heard arguments on the mo-
ton to confirm the revised report of David
Mcclure, the appraiser appointed to assess
the inheritance tax under the acts of 1885
and 1891. on the estate of Jay Gould. The
report placed the tax, which is 1 per cent.
OF the valuation, at about s6G0,OO0. Each
side found fault with the report. The State
appealed from that part of the report which
exempted from taxation specific legacy of
$5,oOo,000 in Missouri Pacific. Western Union
and Manhattan railway securities as COM
pensation for twelve years service, includ-
ing seven years OF minority, in looking
after his fathers interests. The State
claimed that this was not entitled to ex-
the reason that 1t was a device to evade
the inheritance tax. The State also con-
tended that the executors commissions and
an allowance Of $4,000 for expenses of ad-
ministration should not have been deducted
from the appraisal. Ex-Judge Dillon, for
the estate, argued that the appraiser had
assessed some of the securities too high:
that he had taken exchange quotations as
the basis, when the prices Of such GUAM
tity of the stocks as were held by the estate
would be much less were they thrown upon
the market. Counsel handed up briefs and
decision was reserved.

Given to the Jury, Which Was Later

WASHINGTON, March 20-The proceed

opened with the concluding argument by
District Attorney Disney, who urged that
all the evidence showed that Milliken en-
tered the house with the object of commit
ting criminal assault on Miss Philips.
The court in its charge instructed the jury
20 render a verdict OF guilty on the first
count If 1t believed beyond all reasonable
doubt that the house was entered in the
night time with the intention to commit
the onense. or that he intended to render
the young lady insensible by the use of
chloroform or any substance having a like
enect. The verdict should be guilty as to
the second count, the court said, provided
the jury thoroughly believed that Milliken
entered at the time and place alleged with
the object OF touching Miss Phillips's person
In any way.
The jury then retired and at half past
O'Clock this evening, a verdict not having
been reached, We're locked up until 10
