THE BOND BILL NOW
House WiU Vote on it To
morrow. ONE FOR 'AN UNLIMITED ISSUE
The Other for a Fifty Million Issue
Secretary Carlisle Writes to
Chalrmaa Dingley Urging
Legislation.
Washington, Dec. 27. A conference
was held between Speaker Reed and the
house managers today and the result
was an agreement for a vote on the bill
at 3 o'clock tomorrow, instead of 5
o'clock today. Meantime it is to be open
to debate.
The farther arrangement was made
that the ways and means committee, be
fore reporting the bill, will insert a
clause showing it is not the purpose to
retire greenbacks.
It was also arranged that there should
be separate votes, one on the preposition
for a $50,000,000 bond issue and another
on an unlimited issue. .
These concessions were made to over
come the protests against the haste
which led last night to the appointment
of a committee of republican members to
wait on Speaker Reed.

Report of the Appraiser- In the Jay
Gould K state.
New York, Dec. 27. Since March,
1893, Lawyer David McClure, who has
appointed appraiser in the matter of the
taxation of the Jay Gould estate, was
been working on his final report, which
he filed yesterday with Aeslsstant Tax
. Assessor Casey, in the surrogate's office.
The lawyer's work consisted in ascertain
ing' the value of the eetate which wilt
be taxable iftder the transfer act of
1892. .
The report sustains the testator's will,
in which the four execntore, George 'J?,
' Edwin, Howard and Helen M. Gould,
were left an annuity of $10,000 for life
. for acting as executors and trustees, and
makes the total property taxable under
what is known as the collateral inheri
tance tax act, $74, 615,423. The report
also states that the life interest of the
four executors would make a total of
$615,587, which must be deducted from
the principal and be exempt from taxa
tion. It is figured that the state taxes
would amount to about $2,000,000, only
for the forethought of the late Jay Gould
in fixing life annuities of $10,000 per
year upon each one of his four execu
tors. According to Lawyer McClures report,
the Gould family is now taxed $574,000.
At the time of the probating of the will
they paid $500,000, receiving a rebate of
5 per cent. The executors of the estate
now assert that the value of the securi
ties is placed entirely too high, and re
fuse to pay. They will no doubt appeal
from the final report of the appraiser as
submitted to the surrogate and, in the
event of an adverse decision, carry the
caee to the court of appeals.. In that
event years of litigation can be looked
for. On the other hand, the state is not
entirely satisfied with the report. It is
claimed that the expenses and commis
sions'' should not be deducted from this
principal, and thus be exempted from
taxation. It is likely the state will ap
peal If the Goulds receive a favorable
decision from the surrogate.
CARLISLE TO DINGLEY.
The Secretary Urges Legislation for
Gold Bonds.
Washington, Dec. 27. Chairman
Dingley, ot the ways and means commit
ee, has received a letter from Secretary
Carlisle, which is private, but which
furnishes some information concerning
the condition of the treasury. Dingley
Highest of all in Leavening Power.
0, i i
says the secretary offers to furnish the
house all the data that may be needed.
The condition of the treasury i9 repre
sented as very serious, and Carlisle urges
legislation for gold bonds. ...
Dingley has informed the secretary
that gold bonds are out of the question,
and could not be considered. Secretary
Carlisle did not say to Dingley that 3 per
cent bonds cannot be floated, and did
not diecuss this feature of the case. This
denial is made because a report to this
effect concerning the secretary's letter is
in circulation.
