TAXES ON CAPITAL AND DEPOSITS OF BANKS.—Sen- ator Sherman when asked for his understanding of the act repealing taxes on capital and deposits of banks, bankers and national banking assocta- tions (le was a member of the conference commt tee which prepared the bill as finally passed) sat “The bill repeals all taxes named from the date on which they were last due and payable. The law prescribs semt-annual Derjoda for these col- lections, and the fact that the bfll passed in March does not mean that taxes are to be collected for January and February. ‘That could not be done. All taxes, however, which were due on January 1, and sich have hot been patd, must be col- lected.’ Tue TAFFy TO Speake Kerrer.—Some of the democratic members of the House who were ab- sent at the time the resolutions thanking Speaker Keifer were adopted openty criticised thelr party. assoctates for having voted for them. Mr. Cox, of North Carclina, says that had he been present “he would have opposed the resolutions and have then and there convicted every democrat who favored them of gross inconsistency. Mr. Cox added: ich resolutions ought to be sincere and trath- ful, ‘These were not. At the last session of Con- gress the democrats of the House all united in a. written protest against ene of Ketfer’s rulings,and charged him with usurpation and unfairness. Now, had I been in the House last Sunday morn- ing T would have read tkat protest, and would have advised my party friends that to vote for the complimentary resolutions was to declare that we Were wrong in our former arraignment of the Speaker. IU's very elear that there was insincerity either in the protest or the resolutions.” REAR ADMIRAL HvGHes, commanding the Pa- cific station, reports to te Navy department, un- der date of Callao, Febritary 10, that he ordered the Wachusett to proc m Honolulu to Apia, Samoa, and thence to Callao, stopping at the Soci ety and Marquesas tsland.on the Way.

TESTIMONY FOR THE DEFENSE. Whtn the star route trial was resumed this morning Mr. Wilson called Mr. Sweeny, of the Post Office department, again to the stand, and proceeded with the introduction of oficial papers relating to reductions and remissions on the various routes. ‘The morning was spent by Mr. Wilson in reading papers. After recess, Hon. Thos, M. Bowen, Senator-elect from Colorado, was called to the stand, and ts- {fled to the rapid improvement of the state. He Adentifed a letter he wrote in April, 1879, to the Second Assistant Postmaster General, ' urging daily service on the Puebio and Rosita route. When Mr. Bowen left the stand, Mr. Ingersoll introduced in evidence a number of petitions on the Pueblo and Rosita route. The Belford Check. MIDDLETON (THE BANKER) SAYS ABOUT IT. Mr. J. Wesley Middleton 1s a member of the firm of Middleton & Co., bankers, at whose bank the check for $2,000, which Rerdell alleges was given to Representative Belford, 1s sald by him (Rerdell) to have been paid. To-day a representative of THE Stak called upon Mr. Middleton to ascertain if such a check appeared charged in Dorsey’s ac- count. Mr. Middleton first explained the manner in which checks paid were entered upon his book. There is first what 1s called a “tickler.” Upon this the amount of each individual check paid 1s entered, The name of the person to whom a check 1s paid does not appear, but the person who draws the check and the amount does appear. On the ledger account of checks paid they are lumped. ‘That !s to say, if Mr. Dorsey should on a given day draw five checks of $1.000 each the entry on the ledger would be “five checks charged to Senator Dorsey, $5,000. If only one check 1s drawn on a day, of course the one check is made a ledger entry.” Mr. Middleton says that soon after Rerdell gave testimony in court Mr. Belford and his wife led atthe bank (it was a holiday, when there Was more time than usual,) and asked that a search be made. The account of Dorsey was sub- Jected to a close scrutiny. The accounts searched were those inclusive from February 1st, 1879, to August Ist of the same year. When a charge was found on the ledzer in ‘which checks of the same day were lumped the “ttckler” was referred to, so that each particular check could be traced. "In the period of time covered by the search Mr. Mid- dleton says there was n0 check of $2,000 paid to Mr. Belford. Mr. Middleton was then asked if the statement of Rerdell as to the trouble of tdentification of the check did not retresh his memory. He sald: “Some of Dorsey’s checks I recollect were very badly wiitten. His eyesight was bad, and we were more than carefui with his checks when there was a departure from the general way in which they were drawn. I do remember that there was a check of Dorsey’s which was not paid until after Identification, but my best recollection Js that it was for a small amount, and not for £2,000. So far as I have made the search I can find no $2,000 check. Still, a check may be dated in a given month, and not reach the bank upon which it 1s drawn’ for some months thereafter. We would pay a check five months after date at sight upon presentation, but if It was a year after date would make inquiry before making payment.” The search you made then included trom Feb- Tuary Ist to August Ist, 18797 “Yes; I went, as I remember a month or two each way before and after the date of the alleged payment of the check, and I found no record of it.” “Here ts what Rerdell says, Mr. Middleton,” con- Unued the reporter. “The entries of the checks of August or S»ptem- ber, 1879, will show one sum of $2,000 charged against Dorsey.” “I have made the search,” answered Mr. Middle- ton between the dates T have mentioned, which covered the date orizinally set down by Rerdell as between the Umes the check was alleged to have been paid.” DORSEY ON RERDELL Ex-Senator Dorsey sent out last night, through the Assoctated Press, a card denying Rerdeil’s additional statement published yesterday, in rela- tion to the mysterious check for $2,000 alleged to have been drawn by Mr. Dorsey, of which the fol- lowing are the material portions I never saw Belford on the cars. Tnever played a game of cards with him or in hls presence anywhere or at any time. Itever gave hima check of any kind whatso- ever for any purpose in the world. Inever met him tu my life except in Washing- ton or in Denyer, and then only socially. Rerdell Twas here in October, 1879, and that he spoke to me about the check. I was not here any day after the eleventh day of July, 1879, | until about August, 1880, and in the- meantime I had not seen Rerdell. Rerdell never kept a book for me, never wrote a Une in a book for me, never made ‘a charge in a book for me, never liad @ check book of mine unless he stole it. No check, no stub of check, no entry of any name or character ever existed upon which to base this Infamous libel. 8. W. Donsey. —-___. ; The Hoyt Bail Bond. CARTER ON THOMPSON. Mr. F. Carter sends a card to the editor of this Paper, in which he says: “In reference to the publication of the Deny e Republican anent the bailing of Col, 8. M. Hoyt, in which my name appears “Garbage Contractor Carter” as per account of Guy H. Thompson, per- mit me to say that it is false in every particular, as I never interested myself in or procured bail for any man or men in tho city of Washington, and I never employed Mr. Guy H. Thompson for such purpose or sent for him, as he states, or em- ployed him in any matter, whatsoever, at any me. Let me add that Col. Hoyt Js a friend of mine, and when I heard of his arrest I called upon him,’ and, at his request, saw Mr. Belford for him, who refused to go upon his bond because of his Official position. “This constituted my entire connection with this transaction.” eee ees An Assnssination Story Spoiled. MR. BLAINE DENIES THAT A PISTOL BALL WAS FIRED THROUGH HI8 CARRIAGE WINDOW. Avreporter of THe Star called on Mr. Blaine this morning to ascertain the truth of the story in this morning’s Republican tn regard to a pistol ball belng fired Into a carriage in which he and Con- gressman McKinley were riding one evening last week. Mr. Blaine gave an explanation that com- pletely robs the story of all sensational or inter- esting character. In substance Mr. Blaine said: “On Thursday evening of last week Mg. McKinley and I rode from the Capitol to the Ebbitt house in the same carriage. From the Ebbitt house,where I stopped a few minutes, I rode home alone. I dis- missed the carriage as soon as} ascertained that none of the family were out and to be sent for. ‘The next day, about noon, I heard that one of the large panes of glass in ‘the carriage had been broken, and that the fragments of glass were scat- tered profusely over the seat on which Mr. Mc- Kinley and I had been sitting. That all this could have occurred without either Mr. McKintey or myself mpuetng ae seems quite impossible.” “Did you ‘Mr. Mc! ley about it?” queried the reporter, 3 ‘a few hours after I heard of it I inquired of McKt whether he noticed any nolse or breal tu our ride, and he said not the slightest. le reminded me that the windows of bath doors in the carriage were closed before we left the Capitol, the air being quite sharp. He remembered this very dis- pctly as I did aiso, for he threw his cigar away, ith the remark that he would not smoke in & close carriage. Of course, a pistol ball fred into the qgrriage must have gone through it or have been*found inside. It did not go through, and no ball has been found. In my fe nt, the hole was never made by a pistol ft more resem. bles a crash from a sharp stone hur'ed violently.” “ What is your theory about it?” asked the re- rr. “Thave none,” replied Mr. Blaine. “I only know that the window was not broken ‘while was tthe carriage, What occurred afterward Ihave no means nowing.” “Do I understand you that the carriage stood in tie alleged fring? sated the reporter, ©” th K 3 Lal ge mi Tsons 4 al membered something I wished and revurned to the Ebbitt, alighted and went ine so that the carriage had’to make several turns right under the Dright light of the Eobitt.
