JAY GoULD's GIFTS TAXABLE
Duties on Bequest TO HIS son
Properly Assessed.

Albany, n. Y, oct. 5.-Taxation ques-
tions were materially cleared yesteroaS
by the court of appeals decision that
George ]. Gould must pay the sum re-
o,ired by law on the s5,0o0000 bequest
made by his father.
When Jay Gould died one OF his iesa-
cies was s.. .Ooo. 600 gift to his son George.
This the will specifically stated was not
a legacy. but was to pay a debt due lhe
son of the financier for years of vaiuaoie
service However, suit was brought by
the comptroller to compel full payment
under the collateral tax law. Ihis the
court of appeals decides must be done

gate of New York county agreed lha' ''te

The case was argued at length by Da-
ia uiu and Mr.. Dos Passos, for the
onn,ntroIIer against Messrs. Dillon ana
prince for the Goulds. Although the oe-
cisiou of the appellate court Is not oo-
tainable as yet, its substance is known,
and it is certain that the highest legai
hodv in the State has brushed aside the
contention of the Gould heirs.
The court holdsathaf the appraiser was va
right in'taxing the 5estate at siS'6i9'4a'.

This is because the tournament has fall
en- through completely, and through no
fault of the Rough Riders. What is
more, the forty or so troopers who ex
pected to take part are left here in New
York, thousands of miles from their
Western homes with scarcely a dollar
among them. According to the arrange
ments of the tournament, the men were
to receive their board and lodgings while
in New York and their transportation
home after the tournament. Most of them
lived accordingly, and as a result, now
that the tournament has fallen through
and no transportation is forthcoming, they
are left almost penniless. They spend
most of their time at the Hoffman House
at present, and have vague hopes OF get
ting out West before Christmas.
The proceeds Of the tournament were
TO have gone To the National Relief
League, which has offices at ll33 Broad

the country's soldiers and sailors. The
blame for. the unfortunate falling through
of the tournament is placed by the

The dispatch from Madrid stating that
the Spanish government has authorized
the sale of the Spanish war vessels in
Cuban waters caused much merriment in
naval circles Spain simply has nothing
left worth taking back to Spain. With
the exception of the Alphenso XII in Ha-
vana Harbor all of Spain's war vessels
left in the Antilles consist of armed steam
launches and few small gunboats. These
vessels slowed themselves away in shall
low water during the war where our war
ships could not get at them. This is the
reason they exist today. Few, if any. of
these craft could cross the ocean to Spain
except on the deck of a steamer.
