COUNTERFEITERS ARRESTED.
Outfit for Coinage of Quarter-Dollar
Pieces Also CAPTURED

Two men and a counterfeiting outfit for
the coinage of quarter dollar pieces are the
latest capture of the secret service branch
of the Treasury Department. Chief Wilkie
received a telegram this morning from
Operative William H. Forsythe at Austin,
Tex, stating that he had arrested J. Henry
Brown and Harvey Bryan at Austin, and
had taken possession of their house at
Marble Falls, small town near Austin.
Both the men had. some of the spurious
coin on their person when arrested, and
more was found in their house, besides
the outfit of dies and metal.
For the past two weeks Austin has been
flooded with queer" quarters, and the gov
ernments secret service men have been
hot on the trail. The two men were held
under 900 bonds each to answer to the
grand jury. 1t is estimated that their op-
erations were purely local to Austin, and
that the amount of coin put into circula-
tion by the two men could not be more
than $500

BABCoCK ON NEXT CONGRESS.
Chairman Points Out Difficulties
Ahead of the Republicans.

Special Dispatch 10 The Evening Star
NEW YORK. August 14.-Chairman Bah
cock of the republican congressional COM
mittee, when asked about the complexion
of the Fifty-eighth Congress, said:
My attention has been called to tables
published by the press generally purport-
ing to come from the republican congress
sional committee, or from some one alleged
to be familiar with our supposed estimates
Now, the facts are that the republican
congressional committee has never pub
iIshed table by states during the five
campaigns that l have been connected with
1t. 1t IS impossible at this time to even pre-
dict by districts, with any degree of accu-
racy, what the result may be- for the
reason that only about One-half of the NOM
nations have been made and but few of
the state or congressional committees have
as yet been organized and local conditions
are such III many places where the nomi-
nations nave not been made that it would
be folly to predict what the result might be
in those districts. The republican congress
SlOndI committee will publish no tables
during the campaign. but a. as early date
as possible, When the campaign has pro-
gressed sufficiently to enable us to secure
reliable Information, We shall give the pub
lie the benefit of it.
i believe the republican party will sue
ceed and elect a majority of the next
House; but we must not forget that since
Gen. Grants first term in off years the re-
publicans have succeeded but once in elect
ing a Congress in harmony with the ad-
ministration, and that was in 1895 The
general state of prosperity is such that the
people are busy, and, having confidence in
the republican administration. take it for
granted that the Fifty-eighth Congress will
be republican. and overlook the fact that
there are about one hundred southern dis
tricts sOlidly democratic, in which eXpe-
rience has taught us the futility of attempt
ing TO make a campaign, and in many of
which republican voters are either disfran-
chised or free ballot and a fair count de-
MED, so that we must win 20 per cent of
the debatable districts in order to secure a
bare majority of the Fifty-eighth Congress,
and must carry 10 per cent of the debatable
districts in order to have a safe working
majority. l do not believe that the public
should be misled, and want especially TO
call attention to the fact that the tables
that have been published are misleading
and that the committee is not responsible
for their publication

GEN. CoRBIN's DEPARTURE
Will Sail for Europe on the Vaderland
SATURDAY..

AdJutant General and Mrs Corbin left
mere this morning for New York to visit
Mrs. Parsons, General Corbin's daughter
prior to their departure for Germany. Cen
eral Corbin, General Young and the mem
befs of their party, who will sail Saturday
for Antwerp on the steamship Vaderland
will make trip to Oyster Bay tomorrow
to pay their respects to President and Mrs
Roosevelt before their departure While in
Germany in attendance on the military ma
neuvers the members of this party will be
entertained with distinguished honors as
the official guests of the German emperor
General Wood and his aid Lieutenant Nc
Coy, will join the party at Berlin. and it
is not at all improbable that Secretary
Root, who is now at Carlsbad will make if
convenient to meet them there or in that
vicinity.
An interesting feature of the trip is that
the officers on all official occasions will
wear the new uniform recently adopted for
the United States service including the
olive drab uniform designed for field SER
vice. This will be the first official display
of these new uniforms, as, so far as known
no other officers of the service have yet
procured them.

TAX WILL BE COLLECTED.
Banks Lost Their Case and Commits
sioner Yerkes Acts Accordingly.

Commissioner Yerkes of the internal reve-
nue. bureau has directed that immediate
steps be taken for the collection of the tax
on profit and loss accounts, or undivided
profits accounts, of banks, trust companies
or private banks, under the war revenue
act of June, 1893. The amount to be coll
lected will approximate, it is said, $500, 900.
Under an opinion of the Department of
Justice the tax had been collected only on
the capital and surplus of banks, but the
commissioner ruled last January that the
undivided profit, or profit and loss accounts
of banks is part Of the surplus, and there
by subject to tax. After this ruling was
made, by request of representatives of the
banks the commissioner agreed, January
p last, to withhold collection pending de-
cision by the United States circuit court In
a suit to be brought to test the question.
This suit was brought in the southern dis
trict of New York by the Leather Manu-
facturers' National Bank of New York and
was decided a few weeks ago adversely to
the banks, the court sustaining the position
taken by the commissioner. Mr.. James B.
Forgan, president of the First National
Bank of Chicago. was the chairman of the
committee representing the banks that
called upon the commissioner last January
protesting against the collection of this tax
January p last the commissioner wrote
him that while he would require the banks
trust companies and others interested to
make returns at once to the department
showing their undivided profit or profit and
loss accounts, he would withhold collection
until a decision was secured in the United
States circuit court, but said distinctly in
this letter that IL the court held that un-
der the law, undivided profits are proper
subject for taxation then payment of the
tax would be enforced notwithstanding
appeal might be taken by the banks to
the Supreme Court
This tax was repealed by the last Con-
gress, the repeal to take effect July 1, 1902
SO that at present there is no internal reye-
nue. tax on capital, surplus or undivided
profits of banks. The tax to be collected
will be for the year ended July 1, 1902
