TEST CASE TO RE lNsrIrU1hD,
Ruling That Banks Undivided Profits,
 Surplus and Capital Are Taxable.

New York, Feb. 21.--Legal proceed ings to test the ruling of Commissioner of Inter- National Revenue Yerkes, that all banks were liable to a tax on undi- vided profits as well as capital and sur- plus, will be instituted at once. A com mittee representing the clearing house associations of St. Louis, Chicago, Bal timore, Philadelphia, New York, and Boston, had conference with Commls- sioner Yerkes at which an agreement was reached not to enforce the tax pending a judicial construction of the statute, the banks in the meantime to make a return of the amount of their undivided profits under the statute, leaving the payment of the tax in abey- ance pending the decision of the courts.
 It was decided to have some bank pay the tax under protest and bring suit to recover the same, in order to obtain judicial construction which would apply to the banks of the coun- try as a whole. As the question involv- ed all the banks of the country the American Bankers association decided to assume the responsibility and eX- pense of this litigation, and the Leather Manufacturers National bank of this city, in whose name the suit will be brought paid the tax under protest.

FIRE IN WESrYILLE.
Smiths Grocery store and Fnriey's
 Stables Destroyed.

Westville people were called from their beds at 2 o'clock this morning by an alarm of fire, and on first looking out a great blaze met their eyes. It was in the grocery and meat store of Charles J. Smith on Main street, and the building was quickly consumed. The flames also spread to the livery sta bles of Joseph Farley, which were also destroyed, and a dwelling close by also caught fire, but was put out before much damage was done. It was a nasty night to fight a fire, but the vol unteers turned out and worked with a will, and thus saved a worse fire.
 The fire was burning at 3:30 this but was under control. The damage will be in the neighborhood of $5 OO0.

A line was passed to her and after towing thirty-tive minutes the hawser parted; again the Georgic took the disabled vessel in tow but the haw- ser again parted. A fresh gale from the B. s. F. with strong easterly sea pre- vailed and the weather became too tems pestuous to make another attempt Af ter signalling to this effect the Georgic proceeded on her voyage promising to report the mishap to the vessels own CTS or any passing vessel. The Georgic had d very rough passage.

LOOKING FOR PRINCE HENRY
HIS 4RRIYAL ON TIME STILL EX-
 CEEDINGLY DOUBTFUL.
This Morning, but Owing to Adverse Conditions 1t WtiI be Surprising If He Arrives Before Sunday-An All Night Vigil on the Hohenzolierm.
Vigil on the HohenzolIern.

| New York, Feb. 21.-Admiral Prince | Henry of Prussia is due in New York l tomorrow. That he will arrive on schedule time is, however, exceedingly doubtful. The Kron Prinz Wilhelm, to
 equal her westward record, should
 reach Sandy Hook lightship by 7:45 to- tions now prevalent on the Atlantic her
 arrival at any hour during Saturday
 will be surprising.
 At the offices of the North German
 Lloyd company Manager Schwab, al-
 though somewhat upset in his calcula-
 tions by the delay which the Teutonic
 experienced-that boat having arrived
 twenty-four hours overdue-still eX-
 pressed the belief that the Kron Prinz
 Wilhelm will arrive in the harbor late
 in the afternoon. Some of his associ- ates were not so hopeful, however.
 An all-night vigil was kept by the wireless telegraph operators on the Ho- henzollern and the Etruria. in the hope of coming into touch with the Kron
 Prinz Wilhelm. Up to midnight their hopes had not borne fruit On the Ho- henzollern all the officers, from Admiral Van Baudissin down, sat up the great CT part of the night, hopeful that at any moment news might be ticked out from mysterious instruments in the cabin.
 All is in readiness for the princes re- ception in this city The presidents delegates appointed to receive the royal visitor in the name of the nation arriv- ed this evening from Washington. Those in the party are First Assistant Secretary of State David J. Hill, Brig adler General Henry c. Corbin, Com mander W. S. Cowles, Colonel H. T. Bingham and several aides.
 The entire German embassy staff also arrived and joined Ambassador Von Holleben. The party occupied apart ments at the Waldorf Astoria.
 General Corbin said tonight that if the Kron Prinz Wilhelm does not ar rive In time to dock on Saturday the presidents committee will carry out it's plans for the reception just the same on Sunday The committee has planned to accompany the prince and suite to the Irving Place theater tomorrow eve ming, attend him on his rounds Sunday, go with him to Washington on Sunday night, return with him to the launching on Tuesday and remain with him until he sails for home General and Mrs. Corbin dined with Whitelaw Reid and were his guests at the opera.
 The last steps were taken this evening for the protection of Prince Henry from | any possible interference by cranks. | Captain Titus chief of the detective | bureau, after conference with Colonel l Bingham, announced that the police ar | at the Thirty-fourth street | pier had been completed. Ten of the | most reliable city detectives were se- ected as a special guard for the person | if Prince Henry and three were chosen | .o keep a constant surveillance about | President Roosevelt during his stay in New York.

AN EXCITING C0LLOOUY.
Between Chinese Minister and n Former

Phelan, former mayor of San Francisco had an exciting colloquy on the subject of Chinese exclusion in the corridor of an uptown hotel to-day. MT. Phelan was one of a delegation that visited Washington to urger re-enaetion of the exclusion act and holds pro- nounced views on the subject He and the minister met by chance and after renewing recollections of former meeting at the Bohemia club in San Francisco, expressed their views in tones that attracted a crowd. They quieted down before they parted and the minister in conclusion said: You know about the subject now that I have talked to you"

Secretary Hay and Lord Pauncefote Ex
 change Final Notifications.


 Washington, Feb 21-F'inal ratifca- tions of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty, giving England's assent to the cons struction of a canal across Central America by the United States were ex-9 afternoon. There was very little ceres mony about the exchange.
 Copnes of the treaty had been prepar- ed, precisely similar, except in the fact that the signatures were inverted in one copy and these were formally exchanged between Lord Pauncefote and Secretary Hay, a protocol being signed, formally attesting to that fact which will form part of the records.
 Lord Pauncefote was in the best of humor over this successful outcome of the labors of himself and Secretary Hay Tor he regarded the treaty as the most important convention ever drawn be- tween the United States and Great Britain and one that will do much to prevent friction in the future between the two peoples.
 It has been suggested that with the completion of this great work the Brit ish government might regard Lord Pauncefote's services as ended, but it is learned that this was not the case. Lord Lansdowne, the secretary of for- eign affairs, has signified to Lord Pauncefote his desire that he shall re- main in Washington for an indefinite period.

KRON PRTNZ WILHELM SPOKEN.
Lucanfs in Wireless Comm n icat ton With Her- Greetings 10 Prince Henry.


 Queenstown Feb 21-A wireless tele- graph message was received at 3:30 D. m. to-day from the Cunard line steamer Lucania, thirty miles west of Fastnet. The Lucania reported that in latitude 45 50 north, longitude 35.16 west, she was in communication by the Marconi system of wireless telegraphy with the North German Lloyd steamer Kron Prinz Wilhelm, and exhcanged greet ings with Prince Henry, who is on board. The Kron Prinz Wilhelm sig nailed "All well.''
 New York, Feb. 21.-The position given in the Lucania's wireless dispatch seems to indicate that the Kronprinz Wilhelm, contrary to the reports that on leaving Bremen she had instructions to proceed over the northern or shorter course, is coming over the southern course, which is by almost one hun dred miles longer. If the vessel is talk ing that course she would under ordi- nary conditions, be about four hours behind her record, which was made over the shorter course. In the latitude indicated the courses of the northern and southern routes are over two hun dred miles apart and if the Kronprinz Wilhelm were on the northern course it is doubtful if the Lucania could have with her.
