REPORT OF YERKEs.
Decrease in Amount of Internal
 Revenue Collected.

Revenue Collected.
 Washington, Nov. 2S-John W. Yerkes, commissioner of internal, revenue, in his annual report to the Secretary of the Treasury, shows that the total receipts of his bureau for the fiscal year ended June 90, 1903. were $2sO. .74O.s25 at a cost of collection of POT. per cent. The re- ceipts for the last fiscal year are about $41, 1000 less than for the year 1902.
 This decrease" says the commission CT, 'is not due to a diminution in the business movements and commercial transactions of the country, but entirely to reduction of internal revenue taxes. The receipts for the first three months of this current fiscal year show a grat- flying increase. Under recent congress stonaI enactments providing for the re- funding of taxes collected upon bequests or legacies for uses of religious, liter ary, charitable or educational character, S557, ,232 have been refunded. Various oth- CT refunds have been made under reme- dial statutes, such as taxes paid on contingent, beneficial interests, on ex- port bills of landing and tax on divi- dends and interests collected under the acts of 1862 and 1884
 Payments of drawbacks or rebates on all original or unbroken factory pack ages of smoking and manufactured to- bacco, snuff and cigars held by manu- lecturers or dealers at the time the de- crease in the rate of taxation on these articles became effective, amounted on Nov. 1, 1903, to $S.110009. Under the act of April 12, 1902. making provisions for the payment of similar rebate claims on tobacco and snuff held by manufactur CTS or dealers on the first of July. l902, on which date the act reducing the rate of tax from 9.6 to 6 cents per pound became effective, $4.O456SS has been paid in rebate"

Chicago, Nov. Establishments were voted today by the grand jury against Harvey Van Dine, Peter Neidermeier and Emil Roeski the three bandits who were arrested yesterday at the close of man hunt in Indiana. thirty miles from Chi cago. An indictment was also voted against Gustave Marx. who murdered De tective Quinn and was implicated with the other three men n most of their Ions list of crime. extending over period of six months. Against Van ~.ne indict- ments were voted charging him with conn piicity in i've murders, against Neider- meier indictments in connection with four murders, and against Marx indictments for four murders. Roeski will stand trial for one murder.
 The following are the crimes for which indictments were voted by the jurors:
 Van Dine, Rnesl<i and Marx. for the murder of Otto Bauder July g.
 Neidermeier, Van Dine and Marx. for the murder of Frank w. Stewart during the car barn robbery August 30.
 Van Dine, Neidermeier and Marx. for the murder of John B. Johnson at the car barns at the time Stewart was slain.
 Marx for the murder of Detective John Quinn November H.
 Van Dine and Neidermeier. for the murder of Adolph Johnson, August i, q, North 71st and West North Avenues. in the saloon of B. c. Lagrosse; also the murder of Lagrosse at the same time.
 No cognizance can be taken in Illinois of the murder of Brakeman T. J. Stovea in Indiana Friday. or of the shooting oi Detective Driscoil and Thinner in Indiana during the fight that preceded the capture of Van Dine. Roesld and Neidermeier.
 It Is the intention of States Attorney Deneen to bring the men to trial as quick ly as possible. It may be necessary to have two trials. as although the four mer, usually worked together when the great CT crimes were committed, one of the number was often absent, (Roesli was not at the robbery of the car barns and had no part in the murders committed at that time. Marx was alone when he kill ed Detective Quinn and was in jail yes. terday when the crimes were committed in Indiana. Roesli and Marx therefore will probably have separate trials unless a general plea of guilty is made by all four men.

LOST ON APPEAL.
Decision is Against the United shiY
 Building Company.

Building Company.
 Philadelphia, Nov, 2S.-The appeal of the United States shipbuildinx Company against the decision or Judge kf4 kpatrlclx appointing James Smith, IT,, receiver for the corporation was today decided against the company. The opinion rends.sd by Circuit Court Judges Acheson. Dallas and Gray was filed by the former.
 Judge Kfrkpafrick's action Is sustained and the order of the court The opinion. in part. follows:
 Upon the whole. we are of the opinion that the bilI presented case of which the Circuit Court. sitting In equity, had jurisdiction. and that the apoinIment of a receiver was within the authority of the court. We also think there was evidence to sustain the findings of the lower court and to justify the order appointing a re- ceiver. Whether receiver should be appointed was matter largely within the discretion of the court in view Of the special circumstances of the case. Upon Q careful examination we cannot say that the order appointing receiver and grant ing an injunction was improvidentiy made.
 Tt was urged at the argument that the decision appealed from was equivalent to final decree. AlthouRh there ia no assignment ordereto bring this question before us. stin 1t deserves present con- alteration As we read the order 1t was not intended to Do a flnality, and Is not 50 In legal effect. But 10 remove any. pos sible doubt on this point we will amend the order by striking from the fifth para graph the concluding words, and esps- cially by the act of the Legislature Of the State of New Jersey entitled an act con corning corporations. revision ls96.' and substitute therefor the words sthe re- ceiver to be subject at ali times to the orders and directions of this court and we will add the foregoing order ito stand until the further order of this court.

MAY SECURE A REVISION.
Alfred Dreyfus Still Fighting for
 Vindication,

SlA01C6b4Ons
 Paris, Nov. 28.-The efforts of Alfred Dreyfus to secure a judicial examination of his case have at last been crowned with success.
 After examining the dossier in the case submitted to him by General An dre. the Minister of War, Minister of Justice Valle has transmitted that doc ument. together with the petition of M. Dreyfus for a revision of his sentence, to M Durand, the president of a com mission instituted by the ministry of justice.
 This commission will pronounce upon the admissibility of the request for a re- vision of sentence.
 M. Dreyfus owes the favorable action taken to the careful consideration given the case by Minister Andre whose con- clusions are regarded in the highest de- gree favorable to Dreyfus since they de- termined the minister of justice to re- fer the question of revision to a com mission. Nothing has transpired to in ldicate that General Andre has discov- cred documents of doubtful authenticity iOr that there was maneuvering on the part of the ministry of war during the nreyfus trial to conceal important facts.

 Though there can be no doubt that the recent operation on Emperor William con- cerned a malignant formation, the process of healing has not taken the favorable course hoped for.
 There Is absolutely no question of any danger, but from the whole course of the process of healing hitherto 1t seems as though unexpected complications had arisen which rarely follow a simple opera ton for so-called singers polypus.
