RETAIL LIQUOR DEALERS.

Subterfuges for Violating the LAVA
New Special Tax Stamp
Is Issued.
Special to the REcoRp-UN1os.

Special to the REcoRD-UNIoN.
WASHINGTON, March 22.-Acting Sec
retary of the Treasury Nettleton has is
sued the following circular announcing
change in the form of the special tax
stamp for retail liquor dealers:
Letters are frequently received stating
that in many parts of the country retail
liquor dealers claim to hold permit or
license from the United States for carry
ing on their business; that in many cases
where the local law prohibits public
drinking-pla the law is openly vio-
lated by persons who claim to do busi-
ness under, at least the moral sanction of
Federal llicense,' and that this fact
greatly retards the enforcement of whole
some restrictive laws and promotes dis
order.
THE NEW STAMP.
"It should be unnecessary to state that
the United States Government does not
issue license or permit to any person, in
any State, to carry on the business of a
retail liquor dealer. Congress having
levied revenue stamp tax of 325 per an
mum on the business of retail liquor deal
ers, the Commissioner of Internal Reve-
nue. endeavors to collect this tax, wherever
dlQ Dy WuOulSoeNeT TIE business Is car
ried on. But no semblance of permis-
sion is given by the United States to be-
gin such business in any place contrary
to local legislation. A change has been
made in the form of the United States
stamp issued to retail liquor dealers as
evidence that they paid such tax. The
form, which goes into effect July Ist
next. reads:
UNITED States stamp for special tax In
ternal Revenue. Received from
sum of dollars for
special tax on the business of retail LIQUOR
dealer at --, for the period represented by
the coupon or coupons hereunto attached.
SIMPLY A RECEIPT.
"Across the face of stamp is inscribed
the substance of Section 1923 of the Re-
vised Statutes. This stamp is simply
receipt for the tax paid the Government,
and does not exempt the holder from
any penalty or punishment provided for
by the law of any State for carrying on
said business within such State, and does
not authorize commencement or continu-
ance of such business contrary to the laws
OF such State, or in places prohibited by
municipal law.
1t is believed this action will leave no
ground for further misapprehension."

that, after long deliberation, the native
Presbyterian Church in that country has
seen fit to recast the time-tried doctrines
of the Presbyterian Church, snd even to
make additions to the ApostleS creed. He
further says that it is the frequent and
common claim by Christian converts
that the spirit and meaning of Chris
tianity in its broader scope has never been
properly presented among Western
nations and that faith need to be trans
ported to Japan for final development
and perfection. Consequently he appre-
hends that changes noted will be followed
by other and more radical changes.

HILLsBoRo (Or.), March 22.-"Sandy'
Olds, who has been on trial before a
jury in the State Circuit Court for the
murder of Emil Weber in Portland on
May 10, 1889, was found guilty of man
slaughter this morning.
This is the fourth trial of Olds.
In the first trial the jury disagreed. In
the next two trials he was convicted of
murder in the first degree and sentenced
to be hanged, but each time the Supreme
Court reversed the decision of the lower
court. and remanded the case for new
trial.
For the fourth trial change of venue
to Washington County was obtained and
the trial resulted as stated. He will be
sentenced tomorrow.
Olds and Weber were both gamblers,
and for some time before the shooting
were sworn enemies. The men met on
crowded street in the afternoon, when
Olds shot Weber dead, emptying his re-
volver into the mans prostrate body.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 22.-The Err
dmaner's correspondence from Honolulu,
dated March 18th, says that the new COM
mercial treaty between the United States
and the Hawaiian Islands has been re-
ceived from Washington and been sub
mitted to secret conference ofthe Queen
and her cabinet.
The new treaty calls for the cancella-
ton of the present existing treaty be-
tween the two Governments and the SUBJ
stitution of a new document which
permits of full and free interchange of all
products both natural and manufactured
of the two countries.
This treaty is said to be the same which
was submitted to King KaIakaua shortly
before his death in San Francisco. The
King objected to the treaty because
Hawaiian sugar was not put on equal
terms with American sugar, namely, to
receive bounty.

QUEEN VICTORIA.

GraSSe.
PARIS, March 22.-Queen Victoria
passes through Paris tomorrow en- route
to Grasse, where extensive preparations
have been made for her arrival.
The quiet little place is full of excite
ment. Horses, carriages and even the
donkeys from the royal stables have been
sent there; also carriage and wagon loads
of plate and linen. Grasse is the great
center of flower cultivation in the Riviera
and the display in bloom now is gor-
geous.
Her Majesty will occupy the entire
Grand Hotel, and has further hired villa
for the Duke of Rutland, who will act as
Minister in Waiting. The Queen has
chosen to occupy q room looking north,
in preference to the south, overlooking
the Corniche Road. She has further or
dered the paper taken off the walls and
whitewash substituted, with a border
color.
There seems much doubt now of the
Prince of Wales going to the Riviera.
Perhaps the absence of his great friend,
Mrs. Wyner, may have something to do
with it, or the fact that so much has been
written about it decides him not to 90,
for he hates others to be making plans for
him.

In referring to this law and to that

Instead of hosting the coal, the crew
went aft in a body and asked to see the
Captain: he, however, kept aloof, and
seeing that they could not get an inter
view, they fatty refused to work. The
men were asked simply to go to work,
but all refused, and the Captain had to
get natives from ashore to put the coal on
board.

Shortly.
WASHINGTON, March 22.-The Presi-
dent will shortly issue through the State
Department a proclamation for the pro-
lection of fur seals in the Behring Sea-
This proclamation will be made pur-
suant to an Act OF Congress approved by
President Cleveland on the last night of
his term of office. The Act declares that
the provisions of prior Acts forbiddine
under severe penalties the killing of fur
seals within the limits of Alaska Terrific
ry, or the waters thereof, shall apply to
all the dominion of the United States in
the waters Of the Behring sea.
The Act also requires that the President
shall issue a proclamation at timely sea-
son in each year warning all persons
against entering the waters of the domin-
ion OF the United States in the Behring
Sea for the purpose of killing seals. He
is likewise directed to cause vessels of the
United States to cruise in these waters to
arrest persons and seize all vessels found
violating the law against seal killing.
The proclamation as prepared by the
State Department will quote in full the
Act against seal killing and the penalties
Of forfeiture and Imprisonment for vio-
latlon of it, and the later Act extending
the prohibition and penalties to seal kill
ing within our Behring Sea water domin-
ion. The proclamation will also announce
in positive terms the purpose of the Gov
ernment to arrest and punish all violators
of the law, and to seize and confiscate all
offending vessels.
1t will not, however, contain any decla-
ration of the geographical boundary con-
stituting the water dominion of the
United States in the Behring Sea, but will
leave that question to the determination
of the District Court of Alaska in each
case of arrest of marauders or the seizure
of sealing vessels. AT the late session of
Congress a liberal appropriation was
made for the publishing and distributing
of the proclamation after it should be
issued. 1t is the purpose of the State and
Treasury Departments to have the procla-
nation extensively advertised ali along
the Pacific coast. It will also be printed
in circular form at the Government Print
ing Office, and widely circulated through
the Collectors of Customs on that coast,
and through our Consular officers in Brit
ish Columbia. o
