Con - fain Ingettloue Pleas Washington, March 7. -The supreme court did not reach the income tax oases until 3 o'clock today when W. D. Guth - le was recognized to Wen the dads for the appellants. He appeared especially for Messrs. Pollock & Hyde, who ap- pealed the oases against the Farmers' & Continental Trust Companies of New York, from the decision of the United States court of appeals for the southern district of New York. Guthrie devoted himself to an outline of the argument proposed to be made by counsel for the appellants, and had not concluded when the court adjourned for the day. Guthrie asserted that the provisions of the law exempting all incomes under $4,000 would cause it to fall upon less than 2 per cent, of the population of the United States, atid 9ie law was there- fore class legislatiog. Ile also showed that the tax was nof uniform as regard, corporations, of which a favored class were exempted as, for Instance, mutual Insurance companies and building as- rax.latlons, as well as partnerships and religious and benevolent institutions. As illustrative of the effect of the opera- tion of the law, he pointed Out that an Individual owning real estate bringing in an Income of 88,000 would pay $80 tax, while a corporation would be required to pay double that amount. He also In- stanced the case of a partnership of live persons doing business amounting to $50,000 a year, which would be re- quired to pay no tax, while a corpora- tion, composed of the same persons, would be compelled to pay $400. In ii word, he said, the application of the law would vary according to the owner- ship. Guthrie dwelt upon the exemptions in the interest of building and laon asso- ciations, who were, he said, relieved of an annual paynient of $600,000 and whose assets, it had been asserted, were greater than the combination of capital of nil the national banks. All men would have to do to evade the opera- tions of the law eould be to organize building and loan associations. Taking up the provision of the consti- tution requiring uniformity In levying Imports, taxes, etc., he refuted the argu- ment that the word uniformity was meant to have only a geographical ap- plication to prevent discrimination in `favor o( one state as against another, but enntended that it was meant to se- cure equality of taxation.

The signs of Matte hence began to Mani- fest themselves last Sunday night and have Increased In force constantly since that time. It Is now vomiting poisonous gases and thick volumes of smoke are emitted from a hundred apertures in its great maw. The earth for 100 miles around Is shaken periodically with subterranean vibrations Great alarm exists among the dwellers of the cities of Cordoba, Orizaba, Kalapa anti dozens of small scatteretl within the scope of the strange phenomenon. The shocks as yet have not been of a serious nature and no damage Is reported. The rite of the crater glows like fire, and thick gasses rolling down the Mountain sill,' have set aflame the grans and vegeta Gott clothing the sides of the summit. which adds to the density of the smoke and grandeur of the ppectacie. For the public safety, the state of Vera Cruz will shortly name a commission of stble Into the eruption, and make rec- sible in to the eruption, and make rec- ommendations looking to protection of the inhabitants of neighboring villa- ges. The present eruption lain the heart of the best imprmed land in Mexico. 'Th. coffee plantations are not as yet thought to be in darter' of damage, nor will they be unlese a full of thick ashes oc- curs, which is not considered probable. Masses are being saki In all the church- es of the locality to ward off impending danger. Coming soon after the late destructive volcanic activities in many parts of tht. republic, the eruption of Orizaba has many terrors. not only to the people in its vicinity, but to all living itt the great volcanic belt of Mexico, stretching from the *tolls.- volcano of Colima on the west coast. an untietial eruption, clear to the gulf of Mexico on the east.

Waeldrigton, Maich 8 -Assistant Sec- retary Curtin today made the following stft \i t n view en\ le nt: Of certain statemente in the newspapers that the treasury officials are embarratoted by an alleged failure in tract and other assertions of a rimIlar nature, calculated to mislead and dis- turb the public mind, I wish to say that the actual withdrawals of gold frunt the treasury since March 1, 1895, have been 8355,347, of which 8281,087 have been for redemption of United States treasury notes and 874,260 for the redemption of United States notes, and divided arming the cities of New York, lionton, Phila- delphia, Baltimore, Sun Francine% Si, Louis and Chleago. Theme are no more than ordinary withdrawals, which, within the past, have usually taken place at this season of the year. Mot e - over, during the seine period the treas- ury has received considerable gold coin in exchange for various kinds of paper currency. The apparent falling off in the gold reserve was caused by a mi.- understanding in the gold reserve state- ment of the treasury, In statement made up from a statement 'tent from New Mk, which should not have been in- cluded In the gold reserve until the cer- tificates of deposit upon which the bonds could be Issued were delivehoi \The February figures quoted in sotto of the newspapers as gold withdrawn Include heat y withdrawals of the earlier part of the month, before the gold pun - chose contract was made, and one bins!, large item -not withdrawn for export --concerning which there has been con- siderable newspaper comment The treasury officials who are charged with the responsibility of these transactions have no anxiety whatever In regard to the method whieh is and has been pur- sued by the sellers of gold coin under lecent contract. They are satisfied to contemplate the fact that for five weeks the withdrawals of gold coin have not eleeeded the normal amount, with the exception of the instance quoted above.
