CARRIERS MUST PAY
Important Ruling for Shippers and
Common Carriers.

WASHINGTON. July Fin answer to
references from the commissioner Of internal
revenue. all bearing upon the quesi-n as
to whether the shipper or carrier shall pay
for and affix the required revenue amps
to bills of ladings. &c, Ass s.ant 5 q es A
torney Boyd has held as follows:
The law makes II the duty of eve rail
road. steamboat company, carrier. express
company or corporation. or person whose &C.
cuIation 1t is to act as such to issue to
the shipper, consigner or his agent or per-
son from whom any goods are accepted fer
transportation a bill or lading. manifest or
scnie other evidence cfsAhe receipt Of gods
wares or merchandise, received for carriage
and transportation, ard this kill OF | ding
manifest memorandum requires a reveruo
stamp OF the value of one cent affix Z t1 l..
and Cancelled. In case of failure aisSue such
bill CT lading the law imposes a penalty OF 81
upon the carrier guilty of sch
failure.
The penalty for failure to so afix tn !,
stamp is not more than $780, The purp,ss
of the law is clear 1t was to tax the carrier
and not the shipper, and these provisions IN
doubtedly fix upon the express compan es and
other carriers the duty Of providing aff King
and caneelling the stamp. and their fai ure to
so provide, affix and cancel such stamp. sub
jects them to the penalties provided by law.
1t is suggested that some of these carris RS
are refusing to receive goods for shipment
until the shipper pays the tax. While it is
not in my province to advise as to the re-
course which the shipper may have in in
laws ample to require public carriers
and express companies to receive goods tend-
cred for shipment or suffer damages for such
refusal"

WHEN THE wIFE's AWAY.

No one to kiss when a goes home,
No one to kiss when he leaves,
No one to hold in his hungry arms,
And none to console when he grisves;
And only house all Uttered up,
And only a fire and light,
While his footballs ring through the empty
rooms
That are chill with the air of night.
And a man knows then how thin the veil
'Twixt him and the savage life,
And he knows that the wall that separates
Is the love of a gentle wife;
For his dainty home with its pictured walls
With it's tapestries, rugs and lace,
Is more to him when his loved ones gone
Than the heathen's abiding place.
No one to kiss when a man goss home,
No one to kiss when he leaves,
No one to hold in his hungry arms,
Or to say Never mind when he gr.eves
But only house all Uttered up,
And only a fire and a light,
While his footballs ring through the empty
rooms
That are weird with ghoulish night.

FEMALE FUGITIVE
Recaptured After Escaping From
the Vera Cruz Fortress.

NecaptCfeu AIter Escaping FROM
the Vera Cruz Fortress.
From the Philadelphia Times.
The arrival yesterday afternoon of
the British tank steamer Mexicano,
Capt. King, from Vera Cruz and Tam
o!cc, Mexico, marks The end of orc
Of the most interesting trips ever run
by this well-known vessel in the oil
trade between this country and the
tropics.
On May 81 the Mexicano cleared from
Philadelphia with a cargo of 7S2, 1903
pallens of crude petroleum, consigned
to Vera Cruz and Tampico. The ship
arrived at the former port on June TO-.
While discharging about mile from
shore off the ancient city the crew of
the Mexicano witnessed the rescue of a
female prisoner of high degree from
the Mexican fortress of San Juan, now
used as a military prison. The. look
out had his attention attracted shortly
after midnight on June II by the sound
of boat approaching with muffled
oars from the vicinity Of the citadel.
From the nature of the instructions
received, the crew was prepared to
regard all such craft with hostile in
tent. and the alarm was at once given.
The strange boat, however, seemingly
avoided the Mexicano and made for a
point near the Pierson breakwater. In
the meantime, the alarm had aroused
the sentries on the ramparts of San
Juan and the big searchlight there was
at once flashed over the harbor until
the little craft was located.
Under it's beams the occupants could
be plainly observed. They were three
men and woman, who was lying in
the stern. The commandments launch
was at once put out from. the port, and
the fugitives, for such they undoubted-
ly were, soon surrendered. The officer
in charge of the government boat seem
ed overjoyed at the capture, and, from
the actions of himself and companions,
the impression formed on the MeXicano
is that the woman at least was of some
Importance as political prisoner.
Nothing could be learned Of the matter
the next day, and Capt. King found it
necessary to depart without being able
to solve the strange mystery.

OWEN FOR CONGRESS,
But Nobody Else Is Put in Nominn-
ton.

Populists. Democrats and Silver Republic
cans held conventions yesterday. The Demo-
Gratis were in session all day and until mid
night, ard not nomination was made except
that of s N. Owen, for congress, who was
the choice of the silver Republican allies.
The triple conference committee struggled all
day and could not agree. The Fopulsts
asked for the sheriff and the congressman,
and to this the Democrats would not agree.
Then it was proposed by the Populists to
refer the entire matter to the silver Repub-
licans and allow them to arbitrate the entire
matter. As the real objection to T. ].
Cation, the Populist nominee for congress,
and the silver Republicans were as much
opposed to him as any one. they refused to
mediate. Then the conferees parted COM
pany. the silver Republicans going with the
Democrats. and the Populists going it alone.
The Populists meet again today to COM
plete county nominations and to put up

The Democrats had the nois est convention
in the history of the county. The principal
fight was between Phillips and Conroy for
sheriff. At the outset 1t seemed that Conroy
had the nomination and the primaries seemed
to indicate that But during the day the
votes mysterlously changed, and when the
first ballot was taken Il resulted Conroy 240
Phillips 249 This was a total of 4S9 votes,
and three more than there were delegates in
the convention. 1t was some time before the
tellers would make any announcement and
the convention became disorderiy and i'm
patient. Two of the teilers wanted a new
ballot taken because of the irregularity
Judge Rea wanted the three extra ballots
thrown GU. and the nomination of Philips
announced. The convention was thrown into
confusion and fought over the matter for
hours. Finally Conroy mounted the plat -orm
and charged the Phillips people with buying
votes to defeat him. This settled all thought
Of harmony. The uproar was continual
Philips sad he would not withdraw and
would not submit to another ballot. Conroy
offered TO withdraw if Phillips would do SO
