be at least four times that amount, and he may,
at will, draw upon the whole resources OF Rus.

though William IL, probably feels that as
a universal genius, he should receive at least
as much as his cousin of Russia. His pri:
vate fortune is. by no means great, and
his subjects allow him something undor
$5,0O0.O0 a year. The Austrian emperor
is much wenlthier, both as regards private re-
sources and State revenue. Italy can afford to
pay her King only $5oo,ooo a year, and every
year the privy purse has to make up for large
deficiencies. Fortunately for him, King Hum.
bert has an enormous. private fortune. The
King OF Portugal is only passing rich on $780,
600 a year. The Mikado's civ. list amounts to
rather less than So, ZOO, 900 a year. but taking
Japanese prices into consideration, his income
is equal 70 quite four times that amount, In

Vault space You Helped Yourself To.
Howard Payson wilds, Deputy Commissioner
OF Public Works. has made n formal demand on
the Treasury Department Of tho Uuited States
for $4,000 for the 1000 square feet OF vault
space dug out without permits under the side
walks and roadway about tho new Appraisers
Stores, at Christopher and Greenwich streets.
The city's regular charge is 81 per square foot
of surface.
Secretary Gage replied yesterday that there
was no appropriation from which the fees could
be paid. He also said that as the vaults had
been constructed with only municipal interior
ence. and as no demand for payment had been
made until after they were constructed, no was
of the opinion that the Federal Government was
not liable for the fees. In conclusion he quoted
an act OF Congress which says that land acquired
for appraisers warehouses shall DO exempt from
all taxes and assessments by tho State.
Mr.. Wilds sent a, reply. reiterating Tho demand
for ayment in which he said that the United
States had acquired no title or interest in tho
land affected; that tho fees demanded were not
a tax, and that the payment OF them was as
necessary as the payment for the land on which
the stores stand. He added tho suggestion that
tho appropriation for the erection Of the building
WAS applicable to the cost OF the vaults.
