REGULATIONS for Revenue Stamps.

wAsHINGToN. April 27.-The Commissioner of
Internal Revenue says the supply of new tObao-
co stamps, as called for under the new law, will
be sufficient to meet all demands. While the bu-
reau may NOT be able supply all the acquisitions
for those stamps made by manufacturers and col
lectors of internal revenue by the first of May,
when the law goes into operation, all applicants
will be supplied with a sufficient number to meet
the demands FOR stamps for cnrren5 uses. The
large amount OF stamps called for in the requi-
sitions is explained by the fact that collectors
and other applicants desire to secure a stock to
keep them supplied for three four months.
The Commissioner says these acquisitions will be
met during the month of May.

A Precedent for England.

In 1884, when Minister Adams, by direction
Of the Secretary of State, laid before Earl Rus
sell, then at the head of the British ministry,
copies of the official correspondence in relation
to the manufacture of Greek fire at Windsor,
Canada, to be used in firing certain cities OF the
United States by rebel emissaries, Lord Russell
submitted the matter to the law officers of the
crown, and it was their opinion that the parties
might at once be proceeded against in the
courts, as guilty of a high offense against Her
Majesty's authority and the peace of the king
dom. II the people engaged were not acting
under belligerent authority, they were liable as
criminals to the claim of extradition under the
treaty. If, on the other hand, they could prove
as violators OF the neutrality of Her Majesty's
territory

WASHINGTON, April 27.-In the star-route case

Mr. Merrick-Of course the government has

THE GRAIN BULLS.

Misleading Crop Reports Sent Out from New
York, Chicago and Cincinnati.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON April 27.-Telegrams are
being sent out from New York, Chicago and
Cincinnati to the effect that the forthcoming
May crop report of the Department of Agri-
culture will show greater falling off in es-
Inmates of the wheat yield than the April
report indicated. All such kilograms are
mere guesswork. AS the official observers
do not mail their reports to the department
until May L, there can be nothing to base
such kilograms on, except the imagination or
the selfish purposes of spectators. The
May report will be out about the 10th

WASHINGTON AND ALEXANDRIA.
The Capitals Freedom from Small Vices
The Dreariness in Alexandria.

The Dreariness in Alexandria.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, April 27.-Washington has
not been so free from the small vices that
render a city detestable for years as il is to-
day. The police have made it extremely un-
com Portable for professional criminals and,
as class, they have taken themselves away
to other fields where such enterprise as they
show is better rewarded and attended with
fewer dangers. The moral publication of
the capital is relished by the people.
The house breakers, bunko-men and thieves
who were wont to prey on innocent visitors
have gone to Baltimore, Philadelphia, New
York and Pittsburg and the gamblers have
established themselves in Alexandria There
i. not moro dismal, dead-alive town in the
world than Alexandria. Years ago it was
thriving little city, full of hustle and energy
1t threatened at one time to become a rival
to Baltimore, but these prospects and high
hopes were dashed to the ground. Alexan-
dria is now mere Renaissance. There is
musty, graveyard smell about the town, and
although it has population of 5000 people
it is totally and everlastingly defunct.
Two rusty lines in the middle of the prin-
cipal street bear silent testimony to the fact
that real horse-cars may have rolled
through the city some time in the
dim past. A story is told of a man
who has been standing on one of the
corners for twenty-five years, waiting for a
car to pass. When the grass gets so high in
the strets as to interfere with the free move
ments of pigs and chickens, the inhabitants
hack it down with dull seythes of revolu-
tionary style.
Alexandria's claim to present greatness
lies in the undisputed possession of the
church that George Washington worshiped
in, with pew remaining as he left it, George
Washington's Masonic apron, and the old
Braddocl mansion. A lodge building has
been built around the apron and a dreary
hotel around the mansion, The old house

Equity Court to the suit of Benjamin F. Bigeow,
for counsel fees in defending her husband, Ser

choice; that she never agreed to pay him for his
services, but had, of her own volition, paid him

of his reputation. and, finally, denies the juris-
diction of the court, and holds that his claim Is
not good in equity, but must be prosecuted as
any other civil action.
