WAsHINGToN, Nov. e. Commis-
sioner Delano has written the follow
ing circular letter:
70 Collectors Internal Revenue:
The ruling of this Office in regard
to the addition of water 20 spirits has,
it seems been misunderstood. Il has
been ruled that the addition Of pure
water to spirits does not constitute
reetiication under the Law. Some
dealers have construed this rule as
giving them the right 90 withdraw
part of the spirits from a stamped
package, and fill the same with water
without changing the marks and
stamps Of the package. Such draw
ing of spirits and filing With water,
it will be observed, destroyed tho
identity between the package and its
contents, as shown by the stamps and
marks, or brands, and is in effect a
change of package. While it is the
conceded right of dealer to reduce
the proof of his spirits by adding
water, he can only do so by adding
the requirements In regard to the
change Of package. When part Of
the spirits are Withdrawn from q
package, and the package filed with
water, it is held to be a
constructive withdrawal Of the spirits,
and calls for an obliteration Of tho
stamps and brands the same as in the
case of actual withdrawal. This
done, this package, filed with water,
must be gauged, stamped, marked or
branded the same as if the spirits
had been changed to an entirnly diff
ferent package. Whenever spirits
are found to vary In kind and proof
from that shown in the stamps and
brands on the packages. they should
be seized. IF the misapprehension
alluded to exists In your district, you
will please take the necessary steps to
correct il.

spread benifcence. His liberality
was not posthumous. He gave from
his own substance, and did not sur
render what death wrested from him.
His services, both to his native and
adopted country, were fttingly and
graciously recognized in royal letters
and the thanks of Congress. Mer-
chants, in passing his statute daily,
do not need to learn from the con-
summate men of business how to gain
money. His career may teach them
how it may be wisely spent.
