Gen. Guy V. Henry is alarmingly ill with pneumonia at his home In this city. General Henry contracted a cold about a week ago and pneumonia set in soon after.

Early this (Friday) morning Seton Henry, the general's son, said his father's condition was critical, and that his death was expected at any moment. He said Dr. G. H. Jarvis, Dr. Smith, an expert in pulmonary diseases, and Dr. Stevenson, an army surgeon, and the members of the family were In constant attendance at the sick man's bedside, except a son, Guy V. Henry, jr., who Is on duty in the Philippines. Mr. Henry said: "My father possibly may live through the night, although be is likely to pass away at any moment. The attending physicians would not be surprised If his death occurred at any time during the night." Guy Vernor Henry wras born In Fort Smith, I. T., March 9, 1S39, and was graduated from West Point May 5, 1S61, being one of those cadets whose graduation was advanced by the exigencies of the civil war.

TAX LAW KNOCKED OUT. Corporations Must De Assessed in Same Manner as Individuals. DES MOINES, la., Oct. 26. The Supreme Court to-day handed down a decision which completely knocked out the present system of assessing and taxing insurance, express, telegraph, telephone, sleeping-car and fast freight companies. The law provides that they shall pay certain percentages of gross receipts to the state treasury. The court holds that corporations must be assessed on the same basis and for the same purposes as individuals. A corporation paying its entire taxes to the State does not help support city, county and schools as individuals must do, hence the law is unconstitutional. Assessor French, of Des Moines, assessed the insurance companies on the cash market value of their stock. They enjoined him and the case went to the Supreme Court, which upholds French and says the State collection Is invalid. Attorney General Remley says this means the system of assessing railroads must also be reorganized under this decision, which is considered the most Important handed down in a long time. Revenue Stamp Act Construed. KEOKUK. Ia., Oct. 26.-In one of the Gillette cattle cases to-day Judge Woolson, of the Federal District and Circuit Courts, decided that the revenue law requiring every transfer of mortgage to be written and stamped and the transfer of a note payable to bearer which carries with it by operation of law security of mortgage upon mere delivery, makes the transfer Invalid and unenforceable. The universal custom is to transfer mortgage notes indorsed In blank by simple delivery, and this decision bears on most collateral mortgages held by investors and banks. This is the first decision of the point by any court since the revenue stamp tax law was passed."" DENIED A REHEARING. Violators of the Oleomargarine Law Must Stand Punishment. PHILADELFinA. Oct. 26. The United States Circuit Court of Appeals to-day refused a rehearing in the case of Jcseph Wilkins, of Washington, D. c, and Howard Butler, of this city, defendants in the famous oleomargarine cases of several years ago. Wilkins was an oleomargarine dealer and Butler was employed by him. The two men were arrested in this city in December, 1SI6, for removing brands and the word "Oleomargarine" from pacKages containing that commodity. The case attracted widespread attention at the time and a vigorous fight was made to prevent conviction. Wilkins and Butler were tried before Judge Butler in the United States District Court, and Wilkins was sentenced to an imprisonment of six months and to pay a fine of $1,500 and costs. Butler, because of his only being an employ of Wilkins. received a more lenient sentence, that of four months and a fine of $500 and. costs. The case was taken by appeal to the Circuit Court of Anneals. They are now on ball and have thirty days in which to surrender themselves and serve their sentences. 3IIles Goes to Cody's Ranch.

STILL POSSESSES HOPE AXDREE'S BROTHER ARGUES FOR THE SAFETY OF THE AERONAUT. In a Letter to Observer Baldwin, at Mobile, lie Advances Reason for Success of the Expedition MOBILE, Ala., Oct. 26. Evelyn B. Baldwin, the Arctic explorer and observer In the United States Weather Bureau, who has been assigned to duty at this station, arrived here to-day from Washington. Today he received a letter from Capt. Ernst Andree, of Sweden, brother of the polar aeronaut, and gave to the Associated Press the following extract expressive of Andre's confidence In his brother's safety and his conjectures as to his whereabouts: "My opinion is that If my brother had landed anywhere between 86 or 88 degrees north and 7(? or 80 degrees west and ISO degrees west (Greenwich meridian) we would have heard from him. But, not having heard directly from him as to his having landed, I think he must have come down to the west of ISO degrees and. between 83 or 87 degrees north. From 3 degrees north and ISO degrees west It Is about 750 miles to the nearest known land, to New Siberia, Taymur, Franz Josef Land. Greenland and the Parry islands. At the same dally progress made by Nansen, or three miles; it would take hlra two years to reach the coast of the Parry islands, and another year before he could communicate with civilization. My brother several times expressed his wish to examine the ocean north of the Parry Islands. "The last one of my brother's buoys was xouna on tr.e north coast of Iceland. Late ly, however, another has been found on the north coast of King Charles Land, east of spitzbergen. He had with him twelve buoys, eleven smaller ones and a large one. tne latter to be thrown out when the bal loon was as far north as the expedition ex pected to reach. If the expedition reached St or 85 degrees north and HO or 100 degrees east, and then got northerly winds, it is most likely they would have thrown the buoy, not expecting to go any more to the north. But the wind might have changed in a few hours again to the south or southwest and thus have carried the balloon to 84 or 86 degrees north and W degrees west or ISO degrees. Here they may have landed la an unexplored region, previous to reaching which they may have sailed backward and forward several times. Remember that the balloon sailed fifteen or sixteen miles an hour during the first three hours. "I do not put the least faith In any of the many reports, with the exception, of course, of the pigeon message and the two buoys. I do not expect to hear anything more this year, but expect to hear all the more next summer." Tvro Explorers Said to Be Shot. LONDON, Oct. 27. The Times publishes a letter from Rear Admiral Herbert Campion, summarizing a story received from his nephew, now at Fort Churchill, Hudson bay, which says that rome Esquimaux traders up north, some time ago, shot two white men supposed to belong to the Andrea expedition. FINANCES OF SALVADOR. Xetr Mlnlnter to Mexico Snya They Are in Excellent Shape. CITY. OF MEXICO, Oct. 26. The new minister from Salvador, Don Rafael Zaldlvar, was officially received to-day by President Diaz in the Hall of the Ambassadors! at the national palace. He said in an Interview that the present condition of Salvador Is eminently satisfactory, the finances of the government are in a healthy condition and that this result has been achieved without an Increase of taxation, but merely by the reorganization of the financial system according to the dictates of Integrity and economic science. "Of cour?e the fall in the price of coffee," he said, "has hit the country rather hard, but I believe this year's crop Is going to be very abundant, which will compensate largely for the lowness of the price. The general soundness of the country's finances is evidenced by the fact that in spite of the depreciation of our chief product foreign exchange is not more aaverse to us than is evidenced by the present relation of our silver currency to gold."
