WASHINGTON, Oct 17.-Acting Com
missioner Wilson. of the Internal Revenue
Bureau. has held that adhesive internal
revenue stamps sold to persons exclusively
for resale may be redeemed upon presenta-
ton of the same through the collector from
whom they were purchased, accompanied
by claim for allowance, together with an
amdavit OF the facts Of purchase etc. This
ruling is made upon the assumption that in
many cases the purchase of adhesive
stamps for resale was for the disinterested
purpose of assisting the government in the
distribution of the stamps when such as
sistance was eagerly sought, and so exer-
cised for the time being quasi dutles
This rule, however. does not apply to
stamps imprinted on checks, drafts or other
instruments. nor 10 adhesive documentary
stamps other than those of the denomina-
ton of cents. Therefore, the only stamps
for which allowance can be made are the
adhesive documentary stamps OF the de-

OCEAN PENNY POSTAGE.
Proposition to Reduce Rates ON Let
ters to Foreign Countries.

Proposition to Reduce Rates ON Let
ters to Foreign Countries.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 17-Third Assistant
Postmaster General Merritt in his annual
report, recommends immediate negotiations
with the postal administrations of England,
Germany and France, to reduce the inter-
national postage rates to 2 cents a half
ounce or fraction thereof. The report says:
1.-The administrations named have direct
or separate postal intercourse to a large
extent with our country, and consequently
are more likely to agree to the change de-
sired than the administrations of inland
countries that have to pay transportation
charges to the sea coast to intermediary
nations. The English administration, par
ticularly, will probably assent to the pro-
posed arrangement, for it has but recently
decided to adopt the two-cent rate on let
ters between the British islands and Can
ada, as well as other parts of the empire
the change being ordered to take effect on
the 18th day of December next
THE department now realizes nothing in
the way of revenue from ocean letters,
going to the steamship companies carrying
the mails If the rate should be reduced
the same state of things would exist; the
department would still get nothing and lose
would suffer no hardships, Tor the stimulus
given to correspondence by the reduction
or rate would no DOUBT eventually at least
give them as much compensation in the way
Of postage as they now get. An ocean
penny postage would connect and permeate
all the sea-divided communities of mankind
with myriads of new ties and veins, to
strengthen and beautify their brotherhood
with bonds of sympathy and the circulation
of knowledge. 1t would be one of the most
powerful aids to the work of Christian
missions. An ocean penny postage is de-
manded by the social necessities of the
Anglo-Saxon race. The reduction does not
REQUIRE action of Congress, as the post
master general has authority under Section
398 of the Revised Statutes"

Attempted to Assault His Brother-in-
Law in Court.
Ralph Patterson, a thirteen-year-old boy,
was before Criminal Judge McCray yester-
day morning charged with being incorri-
gible. His brother-in-law, with whom the
boy had been living, testified that he had
a high temper and a few days ago broke
the furniture and upset the stove. When
the brother-in-law had told the story the
boy, who was sitting on the other side of
the room, cried out, You - - -, I'll
kill you when 1 get out. BY I'll do it
now" He jumped to his feet and rushed
at his brother-in-law. He was caught be-
fore he reached him. E
The court ordered commitment to the
Reform School for Boys to be made out
and the boy was led away. JAS he went
out the door he yelled back, "I'll be out
of this when I'm twenty-one and then I'll
kill you. All the way to the Jail he cursed
his brother-in-law. He seemed to be mad
with rage

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-THE decision of
the arbitrator in the McCord case has been
rendered. but it's purport is not yet known
to the State Department. The arbitrator
was Sir Henry Strong chief justice of Cam
ada. He telegraphed the State Department
that he had rendered his decision Saturday
and would supply detailed information by
mail.
McCord was an American civil engineer
living in Peru, whose person and property
were seized during a revolutionary move
ment in that country Various secretaries
of state have made efforts to secure COM
pensation for McCord, but it remained for
SeeIsldry 1tlt e 10 soeun an
arbitration. McCords claim originally was
for 100000. Secretary Olney offered to ac-
cept $4,000 as settlement in full. but since
that offer was made expenses have accrued
so it may be that the final award is for a
larger amount.

The Board of Public Works yesterday re-
jected, as too high, bids for the resurfacing
with asphalt of Pennsylvania street, from
Washington street to Ohio street. The
bids yesterday were: Indiana Bermudez
Asphalt Company, $7.95; Western Paving
and Supply Company, SS.OS; warren-Scharff
Asphalt Paving Company, $500. 1t is said
that the reason the companies made ex
orbitant bids is the uncertainty of collecting
for the improvement in front of the federal
building. The government has not yet paid
its share for the original improvement of
the street.
