THE OaiAHA DAILY BEE : SX35SIDAY , MAY 19 * 1895 a AGAINST THE INCOME TAX Coming Decision of the Supreme Court Will Upset the Law Completely. MAJORITY FINALLY AGREES ON ALL POINTS Changing at Opinions nnd Shifting of I'oiltloiiK Hut-round the Outcome with Uncertainty for n Time , but It's All Over Now. Washington special to the Chicago Tribune : Chief Justice Fuller has , completed writing a decision which upsets the Income tax law en ttroly and wipes It off the statute books. The decision has been put In type , returned from the printer , and Is now being considered by the majority Justices solely on the grounds of its general expressions. The law Itself is a thing ot the pasl. This resull has been reached only after a series of remarkable changes In the court , the entire history of which Is not likely to bo given to the public. Justice Jackson , on whom the burden of the case seemed to rest , took sides In favor of the constitutionality of the law as a whole , but united with other Justices In exempting rents and state bonds from the operation ot the law. Ills decision apparently Ectllcd the matter and the friends of the law were more or less triumphant. Unfortunately , Just at this time , which was shortly after noon last Saturday , It became evident that pne ot the Justices in favor o the law , but against the rents , saw fit to change his opinion. In the original hearing ot the case he voted that taxation of rents was not constitutional , but that the law , as a whole , was good law. Saturday he withdrew from his original position and voted that u tax on rents was not a direct tax , and hence did not assail the broad principles laid down In the constitution. If It should happen that Justice Brown writes and delivers next Monday a dissentIng - Ing opinion , It Is probable * he Is the one who changed back from his previous advanced opinion which was well established. The conference of Saturday developed the fact that Chief Justice Fuller , Justices Field , Gray and Brewer were still opposed to the law as a whole. Practically , the whole court was willing to exempt stale and municipal bonds. A majorlly of Ihe court , Including Justice Jackson , was opposed to the tax on rentals. An apparent majority was In favor of up holding the law aa a whole , but Just at this juncture Jusllce Shlras , who had wavered during the first hearing , began to show evi dences of changing front. ' Thus It will be teen that Justice Brown changed front on the renlal question and Shlras changed back on the law Itself. He was still undecided when Chief Justice Fuller started to write an opinion , and for a while the Chicago member of the court did not know whether he was writing the decision of the court or a dissenting opinion. ' " Finally Mr. Justice Shlras took his stand with the opponents of the law , and then Ihe chief justice wenl lo work on his opinion , knowing It would go down Into history as the dcclilon of Ihe court. It will almost cer tainly bo handed down Monday , and the chances arc there will be several Individual opinions delivered at the same lime. Nexl Monday .Is an anniversary .for Jusllce Field , for on thai day he completes thirty- two years of service on the bench. He Is expected to celebrate the'evenl by an opin ion expressing Ills personal view of Ihe law , which In the main coincides with that ot Ihe court , although going further. Justice White Is. expected to present a strong dissenting opinion , still further upholding the doctrine of stare declsls. Justice Brown , If It be true , as alleged , thai he has changed front on the question of rent , will be likely lo ex plain his position. Justice Harlan delivered a shorl dissenting opinion before. He Is ex- peeled to go more Into detail next Monday. All ot that day , and possibly part of Tues day , may be taken up In reading the dlfferenl opinions , and when Ihey are all In bul one greal facl will appear lo the common people ple , which will be that the populist Income tax has been wiped off the statule books , and In such a way , lee , lhat It can never ba reenacted - enacted and enforced until a new supreme court Is present to lei down the constitu tional bars. The people who are liable to be placed In a hole are those who have already paid their taxes. The opinion prevails at the Treasury department thai 'the money cannot bo paid back except by special act of congress. Ac cording to the opinion ot some of the law of ficers of the government , the secretary of the treasury cannot pay out one sliver dollar to anybody except when duly authorized by law. If this be true those people who were prompt In paylnH their Income laxes will liavo to whistle for their money until some tlmo next winter , and even then will bo dependent - pendent on the whimsicalities of legislation In the senate , which will be torn up and practically will have no leader to force through necessary legislation. The rcpaymenl of Ihe Income taxes will be undoubtedly one ot the Items In the urgency deficiency bill , always presented early In Ihe session , but the Item may not get through congress for a year. OIL HAS ADVANCKO IN ItUSSIA 1'roducers In that Country Iluvo 11 ecu WnrKIng for Small Prodis. WASHINGTON , May 18. Consul General Korcl at St. Petersburg , under date of April SO , has made a report to the State department upon the kerosene Industry of Russia. He Beys the great opponent ot the American kerosene Industry In the foreign markel h the Russian product and In order to meel competition Ihe Russians try to reduce ex penses everywhere. Owing to the Increase Ir prices In Ihe London markel , oil In Russli has also advanced. For Ihe Iwo pravloui years the profits have not been large , but si far In the year 1895 there Is a large trade at good prices. Mr. Korel says , however that the prices In Russia do not correspom to the Increased prices In International mar kets. kets.According According to the report of the mlnlstei of finance , the Russian oil Industry com forts Itself with the hope that tn the neaj future the American kerosene wells wli weaken In the delivery ot the usual supplj nnd that Russia will then control thi European oil business. The same paper says "During the first months ot 1895 tlio Unltet States had to suspend the export of keroscni to the Asiatic markets , and according to Ihi most trustworthy calculations , Ihe Amerlcai wells will not be able In the present state o productiveness to answer all the demand ) ot the Buropecn markets , which they havi heretofore been supplying , and which wll then be supplied with Russian kerosene. " Attempts have been made to agree upoi a division ot the International markets am during Ihe last few days such an .agree mcnt has been affected and presented to thi minister of finance for confirmation. A noli by the State department states here that thi announcement will be made by cable tha the Russian minister of finance has refusei his assent. _ _ _ _ WANT TO ANMOUNCU IT FIUS1 Supreme Court Judccs Not Willing ; to It rnrrtlnlleil lu Their Uocliloit. WASHINGTON , May IS. It was general ! ; expected that the Justices of Ihe suprcm court today would hold another conferenc : on the Income tax question for the purpos of reaching a final conclusion and of pass Ing upon the opinion of the court and th dissenting opinion of the justices who mlgh ' find themselves In the minority , but th consultation did not take place and wll nofuntll Monday morning , Immediately pre ceding the reconvening ot the court. It I customary with the court to hold Its con suttatlons on Saturday and there are thre theories advanced for today's departure frou the usual practice. 1. That the justices engaged In the worl ot writing the opinions may not have con eluded their labors. 2. That some one or more ot the justice ' may desire further time for conslderatloi of the questions Involved In the Incom tax cases. 3. That the premature announcement o the court'a first decision on the case ha resulted In a determination not to confe until the Ust moment and thus prevent an ; Dswt UuiiplrlDc until public aanounwmen ot the conclusion of the court from the bench. Extraordinary precautions have been taken to keep secret the views ot the court and until the rumors now afloat are confirmed. It Is Impossible to get definite Information. To day several of the justices took advantage of the fact that no consultation was held to go down the river on an excursion given by the local bar association. UUTUItMINKU TO P * < KKZ * WALI.ttH OUT Ncphovr of tlin Iniiirlsuncil Consul Deported from Ma'l in rir. WASHINGTON , May IS. It Is probable now that In addition to the case of ex-Consul Waller , Mr. Kuslls , our mlnlsler to France , will be called upon to press on the attention of the French government the claims ot Paul Bray , a nephew of Mr. Waller , who was forcibly deported from Madagascar. Mr. Bray has written from Paris to Mr. Langs- ton , his attorney In Washington , a statement of his case , which has been laid by the taller before Ihe State department. Bray was In tel csted with Waller In the valuable concession - cession of lands obtained from the Hova government. This concession was formally recorded In the Hova government office' and a copy was registered at the American consulate at Tatr.allve. , Mr. Wetter , the present Ameri can consul there , has already furnished the State department the official records In the case. The French resident In Madagascar Insisted thai Mr. Waller should submll his corcesslon to him for approval and registry. Mr. Waller refused to do this , apprehending thai tlio French officials would promptly rejecl Ida concession and deny him justice. He claimed thai Ihe French protectorate , be ing confined by treaty to Jurisdiction over foreign relations only could not be held lo give Ihe French officials the right to pass upon the validity of his concessions. Ac cording to Mr. Bray's statement matters were In this condlllon when he and Waller pi ejected a trip from Tamatave to the con- cerslon , where the French were making depredations upon their valuable rubber trees. As soon as ihe French became aware of this movement , they promptly arrested both men and tried them by court martial on charges of aiding the Ilovus , and writing seditious letters to thcrn. ru&un THI ; HUKLINUTUN'M iiicouibT Important Itulliic of Secretary fainltli on a I.mid Grant Ciintnivitmy. WASHINGTON , May 18. An Important decision has been rendered by Secretary Hoke Smith In regard to the land grant to Ihe Burlington & Missouri River Rail road company , now the Chicago , Burlington & Qulncy Railroad company. In a decision by the supreme court of the United States H was held that the grant to this company was divisible , thai is , lhat a certain amount of land was granted on each side of the road and that It was not aulhorlzcd lo Increase the quantity on one side to make up a de ficiency on the other. An adjustment of the company's grant In 1888 showed that It has received 201,101 acres to Ihe norlh of Us line in excess of Ihe amount granted and a demand was made for the reconveyance of this land. The company refused to comply and a sull Is now pending to compel It to do so. so.The amounl of land palcnlcd lo the com pany south of the road Is admllted to bs less than It Is entitled to and lands still exist south of Ihe road that might be patented. Certain of these southern tracts , It Is al leged , have already been sold by the com pany and It Is desirous of securing the pat- enls for Ihem and offers to surrender an equal amounl north ot the road if these are palenled lo it. The law expressly forbids the patenting of lands to any company which has already more lhan 11 was granted and the secretary declines to palenl any further lands to the company until Ihe sull In the supreme court for the relTnquishment of the excess to Ihe norlh Is decided. Innocenl purchasers will be olherwlse protected. GI1IUONS' VISIT llAl NO S.IGMFICANOI- : I > Not doing to Hume on Any I'nrtlculnr P.n llip s. WASHINGTON , May IS. Bishop Montes- doca of Mexico , In the diocese of St. Luis de Pjjtosl , who has been visiting Mgr. Sa- lolll , has departed for Home. It Is staled that Cardinal Gibbons' visit to Rome will have no significance on any of the pending ecclesiastical questions , although It Is ex pected that he will discuss with the pope the entire range of church affairs as de veloped since the cardinal's last visit len years ago. Mgr. Satolll will remain In Washington through the summer , lliough he has made svcral engagements toallend church cele brations. The speculation concsrnlng Mgr. Satolll's elevation lo Ihe cardlnalalo has brought out the fact that It is an invariable rule of the Vatican not lo advance a delegale lo a cardlnalate. The latter office may be filled by a nuncio , and this'fact has bzen the base of reports lhat Mgr. Satolll would b made nuncio at LUbon. There has been nc Intimation direct or Indirect that this would be done , and there Is less reason for the move to Lisbon than olher posls , as Ihe prjsent nuncio there has several years tt serve and Is himself likely to be advanced to a cardlnalate. .

PRINCE OF WALES VISITS LADY WARWICK rlnccm Left nt Homo with Her Dnuchten Lady William llerrifnrd Pre cnlcil to tlio CJucen Hull the t'cur- nco nt tt Concert. ( Copyrighted , 1893 , by the Associated PreM. ) LONDON , Mny 18. The mercury , which ail made the people happy at " 9 degrees-aud hereabouts for weeks past , suddenly de fended and within a few hours had reached 0 degrees , sending everybody hunting for cast-off winter garments. This sudden de- rcase In the temperature was fallowed by 'urlous gales , which have been dragging long the coast , while hall and snow In many laces have greatly damaged the fruit buds. Great Britain , however , Is not alone In his remarkably sudden change from balmy iprlng to shivering winter. Advices received rom various parts of the continent of Europe show that a similar state of things prevails , n Switzerland , for Instance , the Jura dls- rlct Is blocked with snow and on the menu- aln roads near Davos stage coaches were mbeddcd In the snow and the people who were traveling In these vehicles had to seek refuge In neighboring hospices. Along the south coast of Trance the gales have been peclally severe and It U feared that there 1ms been loss of life among small craft which may have been caught far from land and un prepared for the sudden change In the weather. The prince of Wales Is staying at AVarwlck castle , where the countess of Warwick and Brooke , more generally known as the famous beauty , Lady Brooke , who has long been greatly admired by the prince , has Invited * . distinguished party to meet , and where all sort ! of festivities arc In progress. The prince yesterday reviewed the Warwickshire yeomanry .cavalry of which Lord Wllloughby de Ilrokc Is colonel. The princess of Wales and her daughters are at Sandrlngham , whither they went after he drawing room which the princess held on Wednesday la t at Buckingham palace n behalf of the queen. 'I'J ' ! ' DRAWING UOOM A PAILUHE. The drawing room was not largely at tended. But few people attracted more at- entlnn than the American duchess , the dow ager duchess of Marlborough , who recently became Lady William Bereiford and was presented on her marriage. She had never been presented as duchess of Marlborough. The beautiful American wore a gorgeous pearl-gray satin with a velvet train shot with the faintest tinge of pink and embroidered with silver and diamond lilies. The bodice was completely covered with lace and sparkled brightly with a profusion of dia monds. English women are showing an Inclination to bedeck themielves with Jewels In daytime , which they admit Is bad taste , and with which little falling they have long accused Americans of giving way to. At the Invitation concert of the Strauss orchestra at the Imperial Institute on Satur day society was out in great force , the names ot those present Including almost half the peerage. Diamonds In the cars of the ladles and around the neck and brooches were worn tn numerous quantities. The prince and princess of Wales , the duke and duchess of Saxe-Coburg Gotha and the duke and duchess of Connaught were among those present. Viscount Hlnton , who for many years has been grinding an organ through the streets of London , Is now acting as showman for a klnetoscope , near Leather Lane , Ilolborne. He says that ihe. labor of grinding an organ has permanently crippled his right arm and that he greatly prefers his present occupa tion. Viscount Hlnton Is heir apparent tc the earl of Poulett , his father , the sixth earl of that name. The family Is over 350 yean old , dating back to Sir John Poulett , knight an earnest royalist , who was created Barer Poulett of Hlnton , St. George , County cil Somerset , peerage ot England , In 1C27. Th ( earldom ot Poulett was created In 1706. Lady Sutton , the widow of Sir Rlcharc Sutton , whose cutter Genesta , competed will the American sloop Puritan In 1884 for UK America's cup and was beaten , will soon re enter the state of matrimony. . DWYER AND CHOKER NOT POPULAR The events of the past week In eportlm circles have not Increased the popularlt ; here of Mr. Michael F. Dwyer or Mr. Rlchan Croker. Even the colored Jockey , Slmma has come In for a share of criticism. Thi Globe , commenting upon the rldlne of In American Jockey , said yesterday : "HI ' monkey antics are foreign to our Insula prejudices. Ho kept easing his mount am then sending him along to the leaders eve and over again on Thursday , but we mus admit that when we had to sit down h showed us what he could do. In an cxcltlni finish he has proven equal to the occasion. " The most serious accusation which th papers make Is that these pretenses of belni beaten were simply meant to Influence bettln during the race and that the Americans sue ceeded In getting a large amount In thl way. way.The United States war ships San Franclsc and Marblehead , from the Mediterranean , an the New York and Columbia , from Nei York , will rendezvous at Southampton am will proceed together to Kiel , In order t take part In the elaborate fetes prepare there to celebrate the opening of the Nortl sea and Baltic canal.

Mr. Tree hag been fortunatyVWiJUgh to uecure the services ot Mrs. Bancroft In her original part , that of Counteis Ulgta Zoukarff , nnd Mrs. Patrick Campbell wOl "represent the heroine. The cast Isa ver * strong one , which will Insure a most Intcresllpgrevival. To a reporter of the Associated press who called at Uio Haymarket theater during the re hearsal , Mr. Tree said : "The1 longer I am at homo the more fully do I realize what a good time I had In the United ) Statc-s. I am already looking forward with eager anticipa tion to my visit there next year. Mrs. Tree and myself were there rebelVcd with the most possible kindness and With only one exception the criticism ot'our' work was In variably Just and kind. It'would be Impossi ble to find any audiences more quick and responsive than the e before which we had the pleasure of appearing. Another thing that greatly Impressed me was the beauty and convenience of the theaters. " FEDORA AND TRILBY. When asked about his future plans , Mr ; Trco replle'd : "We shall , as you know , b'norlly produce a revival of 'Fedora' with Mrs. Patrick Campbell In the tltlo role. This will , wo hope , run through tlio season. In the early autumn we shall produce an Ameri can version of 'Trilby , ' but as to who will take the part of Trilby has not yet bJen decided. " Miss Nethersole , who Is filling Mrs. Pat rick Campbell's place In the "Notorious Mrs. Kbsmlth" at the Uurrlck , has arranged to go en a tour at the close of the Uarrlck season with John Hare In America. London Is to bo more than ever favored with opportunities of seeing and comparing the best efforts of foreign drama. Fiance , Italy , Germany and Spain will bo represented hero this reason. In addition to the Spanish company ot coincJInns already announced In these dispatches , Slgnora Eleanor Duse and Mmc. Sarah Bernhardt will bo hero presently. The former will make her reappearance at Drury Lane theater on the evening ot May 22 and will pUy four tlmca a week , the re maining evenings being devoted to the con tinuation of the English opera season. Sir Augustus Harris will endeavor to Induce Slgnora Duse to add to her London repertoire. On Monday , May 27 , Sarah Bernhardt will open her season at Daly'a with "Desdemona , " Sardou's latest play. She will bring her own company and scenery from the Renaissance theater In Paris. The ducal court company of Saxe-Coburg Gotha will open a short season at Drury Lane theater on June 27 , when the clever comlo opera , "Der Vogel Handler , " will be produced. Sardou's unlucky play , "Dealla Harding , " Is already withdrawn from the Comely theater. While the management is waiting for Pinero's comedy , Jerome K. Jerome's "Councillor's Wife" under the title of "Prudes Progress" will bo given a trial. LANGTRY IN A BATHING COSTUME. Mrs. Langtry begins a short engagement at the Grand theater , Islington , June 3 , when she will probably proJuce her new play , "Gos sip , " dealing with special manners and cus toms In the future. Rumors are. that Mrs. Langtry will appear In a bathing costume ot black patln with a very short skirt , a scarlet bow tying the bodice over a white muslin chemisette. Effie Shannon is the only member of her American company who will appear with her. Mile. Yvetto Guilbert , who Is appearing at the Empire with her usual buccess , has a new repertoire of Bongs. She Is not very en thusiastic as to the sucpess of her coming visit to the United States , having an Idea that the Americans care only for singing li which the tom-tom and the banjo form the Integral part of the entertainment. Clsslo Loftus will appear at the Palace theater on May 27. She h.as spent her short holiday since her relurrt from America In visiting the theaters and studying new songs and Imitations. ' ' The queen will this year formally open a new parish church at Crathle. The new building Is In striking contrast to the old one on the road from BalUler'tA ' Braemar , famous for the Puritan simplicity of Us religious edl . flees. It will have stained glass windows highly ornamented pulpit and other modern Ideas likely to be resented by austere Scotch men. ! f THE WOMANB BIBI/E. s iV Specimen ot tht > Work Compllril Umlerlhe Direction of Mr , Muuton. f Hero Is a specimen chapter supplied by c the New York Sun from the Woman's Bible which Is being compiled by a revising com mittee of leading women of most civilized nations. They propose to comment simply on all texls In Ihe Old and New Testaments that refer to women. Mrs. Elizabeth Cady ' Stanton of 261 West Slxty-Orst street is chairman of the committee , and Information concerning the work may bo obtained from her. The specimen chapter Is Numbers xxvll. , 1-11 , and , with Mrs. Stanton's com ments , is as follows : * Then came the daughters of Zelophehad . the son of Hepher , the son of Gllead , the son ot Machlr , the son of Manasseh , of the families of Manassch , the son of Joseph ; and these are Ihe names of his daughters : Mali- lah , Noah , and Hoglab , and Mllcah , and TIrzah. 2. And they stood before Moses , and before Eleazar the priest , and before the princes ant' all the congregation , by the door of the ; tabernacle of the congregation , saying , 3. Our father died In the wilderness , and he was not In the company of them thai gathered themselves together against the < Lord In the company of Korah. 4. Why should the name ot our father be done away from among his family , because he halt no son ? Give unlo us therefore a possesslor among the brethren of our falher. G. And Moses brought their cause before the Lord. 6. And the Lord spake unto Moses , saying 7. The daughters of Zelophehad speal- rlght : Thou shall surely give Ihemi a poss s session of an inheritance among theli 3- father's brethren ; and thou shall cause thi 3w Inheritance of their father to pass unto them d 8. And thou shall speak unto the chlldrei i- of Israel , saying. If a man die , and have m son , then ye shall cause his Inheritance t < pass unto hU daughter. 9. And If he have no daughter , then yi shall give his Inehritance unto his brethren 10. And If ho have no brethren , then yi shall give his Inheritance unto his father' brethren. 11. And If his father have no brethren then ye shall give his Inheritance unto hi kinsman that Is next to him of his family and he shall possess it ; and It shall be unti the children of Israel a statule of Judgment as the Lard commanded Moses. The respect paid to the daughters of Ze 10 lophehad at that early day Is worthy the Iml tatlon of the rulers In our own times. Thesi daughter * were no doubt fine looking , wel developed worren , gifted with the power o eloquence , able to Impress their their person allty and arguments on-that-immense assem blage of the people. They'were allowed t plead their own case -4n person before th lawgivers , the priests , -nHd line princes , th rulera In state and chiuch , nd all the con gregatlon , al the very door of the tabernacle They presented their oasettwlth such fore and clearness thai all eaw , Ihq Justice of thel claims. Mosca was 0 deeply Impressed tha ho at onca retired to hjg closet to llstei lo the still email voice of conscience am commune with his Maker. 'In response th Lord tald to him : ' "Hie daughters of Ze lophehad speak right. If a man die and leav no son , then ye shall , cauie his Inherltanc to pass unto his daughter's.

The exhaustion and suffering were to great that I knew I could not pull through without a supreme effort of medical skill In my behalf.

SONFJDENCED AN IRISHMAN llet on the Other Fellow' * Gnmo In a Third Wnnl Joint. An Irishman went through the experience yesterday in this clly of colliding with a confidence man. He was a genuine terrier from Ihe old sod , and his name was Mc- Gowan. He landed In South Omaha In the morning , and before continuing on his way lo St. Paul decided to take In the metropolis- Nebraska. He boarded a motor , and while on his way to this city became acquainted with it rather "green individual , or rather ono whom he sized up as such. When they got to the city McGowan's new acquaintance suggested thai they visit a li quor Joint , to which proposition McGowan cheerully assenlcd. The "green" Individual steered him Into a saloon In the Third ward and while they were campling the wares an Individual entered , whom the green Indi vidual recognized as a friend. Introductions followed and McGowan offered to set them up. The new Individual would not consent to this , but he was perefctly willing to shake dice. He produced three of Ihe Ivories , and atler several rounds had been taken he volun teered the Information that he was able to tell Iho tola ! number of points on the tops and bolllms ot the dice on every throw. After due deliberation McGowan remarked emphatically that he doubted this statement. "How much have you got ? " queried the new acquaintance. McGowan examined his clothes and dis covered thai he had $45. He was willing to wazer this amount that the new Individual could not tell the total number of points on the tops and bottoms of Iho dice , If he threw. The bel was made , Iho money was pul up In Iho hands of Die green Individual , the dice were placed In McoGwan'a hands and the throw was made. "Twenty-one , " shouted the new Individual. McGowan examined the dice and counted twenly-one points on the top and bottom. Whilst ho was musing on this marvelous feat , the green Individual and the new Indi vidual politely took their departure. The more McGowan mused the moro he came to the conclusion that there might be something wrong , and he carried his woes to the police station. After he had told his story he was Informed that on any throw of three dice the points on the tops and bottoms toms necessarily figure up twenty-one. He tried It. Then he evolved several brilliant and burning sentences from his Irish vo cabulary and started out on the hunt. Coal nI I'relght Trn'iu rolllile. HOUND BROOK. N.
