cited over the speech delivered in the
British House of Commons Friday by Sir
Michael Hicks Beach, the chancellor of
the exchequer, regarding Egypt.
The Journal, in an article commenting
on the speech, says: THE insolent chal-
to be taken up
The Autorite says: England disdains
and defies France and Russia and will
continue to do so until both of those pow
ers resort to the sword
La Libre Parole SAYS: "The reply to
Engands challenge must be action, not
mere words"
A later cablegram says NJ. HanotauX,
the French minister of foreign affairs, re-
plying to an Interpolation in the Chamber
of Deputies, said the utterances of Sir
Michael Hicks-Beach, chancellor of the
eXchequer, in the British House of Com
mons on Friday last did not tend toward
a settlement of the Egyptian question.
The Soudan expedition gravely concern
ed the future of the Egyptian finances,
and France, as one of the trustees of
Egypt, had the right to ask that this side
of the question be carefully examined.
Many times had Egypt sunk enormous
sums in expeditions into the Soudan, and
it was the ruinous efforts to conquer the
Soudan and Abyssinia which compelled
the European powers to intervene. There
fore, the French government felt that it
was its duty to warn Egypt that she was
embarking in an enterprise which might
again lead to financial deficit.
NJ. Hanotaux said he was convinced, in
view of the delicate situation existing in
Europe at the present moment, that every
one would agree that nothing should be
done to disturb the concert of the powers,
but at the same time he felt it incumbent
upon him to declare that, as regards Egypt,
nothing had been changed from the inter-
national view point, nor was there any
change in the rcsolute attitude of France
in these matters The subject was then
dropped.

ENGLAND'S CHALLENGE.

Official and newspaper opinion in Ger
many regards the renewed strain between
France and England with complete equa-
nimity, and the declarations concerning
Egypt made by Sir Michael Hicks Beach,
the British chancellor of the exchequer
in the House Of Commons in London Fri
day, are attributed to his knowledge that
England has the support of Germany,
Austria and Italy in regard to her occupa-
ton of Egypt. The Hamburg "Corl cs-
pondent,' in an article on the subject,
gives expression to the opinion generally
entertained in Berlin when it says that
France has no legal right to force England
to evacuate Egypt, evenif all of the great
powers should back her up. But, the pa
per adds, the powers will do nothing of
the kind, for the reason that they have no
interest in England's withdrawal, and
even Russia, thou Oh for reasons of policy
she has joined France in an entente will
90 no further than she has already gone
Concerning the attitude of Russia to-
ward Egypt the St. Petersburg Novoe
Vremya says that Russia intends to con-
fine herself to placing the Suez canal I'M
der international control; otherwise she
has no interest in Egypt
Speaking of the attitude of the Austro
Hungarian government the Pesther Lloyd,
in an inspired communication from Wen
ma, expresses regret that the FrancORus
sian entente menaces the concord of the
powers at the very time when perfect har
mony is most urgently needed. The eff
feet will probably be, the paper adds, ''to
defeat a solution of the difficulties in Tur-
KEY, and we must now exert every effort
to restore the harmony of relations be-
tween France and Great Britain"

SAVING TAXES.

The weekly circular issued by the bank
ing house of Messrs. Hambleton & Co.
last Saturday calls attention to costly
abuse made possible under State laws.
which will considerable curtail the amount
of taxes to be collected this year, as it has
in years gone by. This consists i'll the use
of Baltimore city stock by national banks,
trust companies, insurance companies and
kindred home corporations, as means of
avoiding the payment of city taxes.
The charter of the city gives it the right
to issue stocks, bonds, etc, after the prop
er enabling act has been passed by the
Legislature and the required ordinance by
the City Council. To make this stock
more attractive as an investment it is de-
clared free of city taxes. This is where
the point comes in. A national bank or
trust company with a large capital stock
is required to pay the city tax on this stock.
The city tax at the last levy was per
cent, or 81 on every hundred. fthe pay
ment of this can be avoided it represents
net profit.
The trust companies and now the ma
tional banks have discovered a way in
which the payment of a portion of their
taxes at least can be avoided. By pur-
chasing city stock to represent a part of
their capital stock they are not required
to pay taxes on an amount of stock equal
to the amount of city stock owned.
For instance, if the Citizens Bank, with
a capital stock of $500, 900, owns city stock
to the extent of $3.50, 900, it is required to
pay taxes on only $25O,OOO. Should it
own $500, 900 of city stock, it would not
be required to pay any taxes.
Thus, taking it for granted that the
81 ,453, 800 in city stock which was sold
last week all went to banking establish
ments and trust companies, and is used to
escape the payment of taxes, it is fair to
presume that if there had been no such ar
rangement there would have been return
ed in the taxable basis sum amounting
to about 81 ,4OO, 900, on which taxes amoun-
ing to about 900 might have been col
lected.
This is one of the principal reasons that
city stock brings such high price at pres
ent. 1t is in demand for banks and trust
companies, which are about to make their
annual returns to the tax assessor, who
comes around on March 1st for the state
ment
The trouhlo is with the State law and
it is probable that some effort will be ma,.c
at the next session of the Legislature to so
amend the assessment law that the mere
holding of the stock as part of the capt.
tai stock, while the city stock itself will
still remain clear of all city taxes
