TRENTON, June 5, 19O0-Because of the
1reat increase in the formation of trusts
during the past year. the State of New
Jersey will receive in taxes annually more
than half million dollars in addition to
what it has heretofore received from cor
porations.
This is, of course, in addition to the
license or charter fee, which the corpora
tions paid for their legal existence and
which fees last year amounted in the ag-
gregate to close onto a million of dol
lars.
Secretary Irvine E. Mcguire, of the
State Board of Education, at noon filed
with State Comptroller Hancock pre-
liminary schedule of the taxes on all
corporations, exclusive of railroads and
canals, which have filed their report for
1899 The tax for the present year on
these corporations, in the preliminary
schedule alone, amounts to $l544, 126.0l.
This shows an enormous increase over
the corresponding schedule of last year
of S642, ,94s.17 in the corporation tax
last years figures being $9O1.z77.S4.
These figures startled even the mem
bers of the State Board of Assessors, who
met yesterday to sign the report before It
was filed with the State Comptroller. 1t
was anticipated that the increase in rev.
enue would be very large, but it was hard
~ thought, even by those most CONVEX
SAINT with the subject, that it would
amount to over two-thirds of last years
revenue.
This princely revenue is due, in the
main, to the gigantic trusts which incor-
porated last year, being attracted to New
Jersey by the liberality and stability of its
corporation laws.
In the past year and half the filing
fees received from these giant eombina-
tions have been very large, but, of course,
have not been looked upon as a perma-
nent source of income; the receipts in the
Secretary of States office being depen-
dent upon the formation of new corpora
tions The annual tax, however, is based
upon the issued capital stock, and will be
a permanent source of income so long as
they continue in existence.
There are BIB companies in the preliml-
nary schedule, as against 2,SS5 last year.
They are classified as follows:-

LADYBRAND WAS IN DISTRESS.
fsosss HAD Reduced Garrison To Desper-
ate strstts-Severe Fighting.

Cape Town, Sept. 5.--The siege OF
Ladybrand hasi been raised after sew
eral desperate attempts To capture the
town and It's little garrison of 100
British troops. The Beers who at
tucked Ladyhrand are estimated TO
have numbered over 1000 men. The
IL fish were summoned to surrender
Sept. Sunday but refused, and troll
tnat time on were subjected To con-
tihual cannon and rifle fire. The
burShers twice tried to rush the Brit
ish position. Probably the approach
or relief force saved the little gar
fison.
London, Sept. 5.-Telegrams from
the Basutoland frontier received here
show that the Boer commanders had
surrounded Ladymand and reduced
the defenders TO such straits that they
had burned all their stores in the mar
ket place TO prevent them falling into
the hands of the enemy. General
Hunter hastened to the relief OF
the garrison. General pewet was
said TO be north Of Middleburg watch
ing for an opportunity to intercept
British communications.
More serious fighting took place on
Monday In the mountain passes near
Lydenburg, where General Butler was
fighting Botha all day The burghers
were about 1000 strong, with several
guns. and they seem to have held the
British in check, since the position was
not carried by nightfall and column
was sent by General Roberts to assist
Butler. 1t is thought, however, that
Botha is merely fighting to cover the
removal of his transports and supplies
from Lydenburg, and that he will re-
tire to the mountains farther north,
where the next stand will be made.
Pretoria, Sept. BIT is reported that
General Delarey, the Boer commander,
has died of wounds received at

Stickney, Republican, has been elected

At the same time it is probably ahead
of the gubernatoral vote of two years

In Burlington, the largest city in the

Republican majority will be in the

figures will not be known for a day or

the fact that the Republican majority
has been reduced. Montpelier gives
