WASHINGTON. .

WASHINGTON. Oct. 23.-Attorney-
General Devens has overruled the former
opinion from the Department of Justice,
to the effect that National banks. in max
ing up capital subject to duty, may be
permitted to deduct United States bonds
at the face value, and now decides that
they may deduct the amount invested in
such bonds not only their face. but the
premiums added. 1t is said by some of
the Treasury officials that these decisions
may reopen some $4,000 assessments made
by the Treasury since the passage of the
National bank act,and considerable money
will be required to refund duties collected
from banks under the previous rulings.
