Senators Voorhees and Pefi'er on the Reported Income Tax Decision. THE GRESHAM RUMOR AGAIN Repeated Assertions That the Secretary of State Has Determined to Resign From the CabinetFThe Medical Serv- ice of the Navy Crippled. WASHINGTON, April 8.—-A11 efforts to se- cure from members of the supreme court either authoritative confirmation or- denial of the truth of the Chicago Tribune story —namely, that two important portions of. the income tax law had been decided un- constitutional, and that under the decision to be handed down all incomes derived from rents and all incomes derived from state and municipal bonds were exempted from taxation, have proved unavailing. Neither Will the members of the court give any intimation as to when the de- cision will be announced. Senator Voorhees, chairman of the finance committee, when told of the pub- lication today, said: “It may be that a por- tion of the law may not be sustained. I consider there is a possibility of such a re- sult, but I do not know anything about it, and I do not believe that any one out- side the court knows anything about it. But,” he continued, “suppose it should be true that the portion of law in regard to rents and muncipal bonds should prove to be, in the opinion of the court, unconstitu- tional, the law will not be materially im- paired. It will still afford an immense revenue. The estimates which have been made are entirely too low on the revenue which would be derived from the law as a whole. Instead of its yielding from $15.- 000, 000 to $30,000,000 you will see that it will yield 350, 000,000. $75, 000,000, or even $100, 000, 000 of revenue.” Senator Harris of. the finance committee declined to discuss the question at all, as did Senator Jones of Arkansas, who, though still sick, has returned to Wash- ington to close out a little business. Senator Pefler. Populist, expressed the opinion that if the incomes from rent and bonds should be eliminated, the efficiency of the law would be materially crippled, “leaving out of consideration the tax on bonds,” he said, ”the rent item is a most important one when we consider that one—third of the farmers in the country are renters; that 25 per cent of the entire population of the country at large and 77 per cent of the people living in cities of over 100,000 population are also thus classed, and that in New York city the per- centage of renters is 94. Such a decision would result in a great spread of Popu- lism. " Gresham’s Rumored Resignation. Secretary Gresham has gone for a brief trip to Fortress Monroe for Inuch needed rest. He has been very much overworked lately by diplomatic complications, which have piled themselves upon him, and while he was in the midst of his troubles he \vas attacked by a painful case of grip and non- ralgia. His health has in consequence be:- come very much broken, and a rest from official work and worry was imperatively ordered by his physicians. Secretary Gresham’s troubles have been very greatly aggravated by his tempera- ment. Details are distasteful and annoy- ing to him, and he loses all patience when overwhelmed by them. Lately he has had nothing but infinite and intricate details to attend to, and as a consequence ho is thoroughly out of spirits and out of sorts. The secretary’s trip to Fortress Monroe has resulted in a reappearance of the ru- mors of his approaching resignation. These are heard on every hand and from every variety of authority, and it is said that Mr. Gresham, wearied with the end- less complications of his oficc, has deter- mined to resign as soon as the present in- ternational questions can be temporarily straightened out. Navy Surgeons Shy. The navy department is finding increas- ing difficulty in filling the vacancies in the naval medical service. There are now nine vacancies in the grade of assistant surgeon, some of which have existed for nearly a year, and two more will be creat- ed within a few months. The examina- tions, to be sure, are extremely rigorous, but so are those for army service, but there is eager competition for places as army surgeons, while the navy cannot find any young physicians to. apply for the vacan- cies. This peculiar condition of affairs ap- pears to be the result of the status of a young physician on shipboard. He is rated as an ensign and is messed in the steerage with cadets. clerks and junior officers. The young doctors think that men of their age and education—they are usually some years older than their messmates—should receive more consideration and be allowed to mess with the officers of the vessel and to have more standing on shipboard. Surgeon General Tryon has done his best to have assistant surgeons assigned to wardroom messes, but Admiral Ramsey is somewhat of a martinet, and insists that officers, staff or line, shall he messed ac- cording to their rank.

NEW YORK, April 8.——Anthony McIlugh Cannon, aged 56 years, a wealthy banker of Spokane, Wash, was found dead in his bed at the Sturtevant House yesterday aft- ernoon. Death was caused bylhcart fail- ure. Mr. Cannon had for many years been noted as the man with the lowest pulsa- tion on record. His average pulsation was only 38, except during the past few months. when it has risen to 41 per min- ute. The usual pulsation of a. human be- ing is at least 70, and there are very few cases on record where men have lived with a pulsation of under 60. No insurance company would accept Mr. Cannon as a risk, and a friend Of‘ his in speaking of him last night said: ”During the past ten years Mr. Cannon buried more examining surgeons for in- surance companies who had refused him as a risk than any other man on earth. ” Mr. Cannon two years ago visited New York and consulted the late Dr. Austin Flint, who said to him: “If I did not licar you speak and did not see you before me, I would refuse to believe that a, man whose heart is affected as yours is, could live for a minute.” Mr. Cannon, it is said, replied that he would outlive Dr. Flint. This proved to beafact. 1- .;, -’- In January last, under advice of his physician, Mr. Cannon took a trip to Bra- zil in company with Mr. Goodin, manager of the Spokane Review, of which paper Ir. Cannon Was the largest owner. The trip proved very beneficial, and his pulse increased four beats a minute. On his re- turn, on March 9, Mr. Cannon said that his pulse was so much more rapid than usual that he expected to live at least 20 years longer. . Judge Fraser Dead. Jonrsrown, H. Y., April 8.——Judge McIntyre Fraser, one of the leading law- yers of central New York. died at his resi- dence in this city yesterday, aged 73. He had filled the office of county judge and was for many years leader of the Demo— cratic party in this assembly district. He is survived by a widow and two sons and leaves a large estate.

Mills, of Lebanon, Conn, says: “I was afflicted with rheumatism in my back all last winter. It was so severe at times that I could not stand up straight, but was drawn over on one side. I tried different remedies without receiving any relief until I bought a bottle of Chamberlain’s Pain Balm. After using it for three days, according to directions, my rheumatism was gone and has not returned since. I have . since recommended it to others and know they have been benefited by its use.
