A Ruling by the Internal Revenue Commissioner at the Request of
 California Wine Men.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.-The Commis- sioner of Internal Revenue modified his de- cision of July 5. 1898, to the extent of holding. that when foreign or domestic wines are transferred from bulk pack ages to bottles in an immature state for storage in bins for a considerable length of time for aging purposes, wine so trans ferred to bottles will not be regarded as having been bottled for sale' until such time as 1t arrives at a marketable con- dtion, and the stamping of the bottle may be deferred until then. As soon as wines are in a marketable condition the liability to the tax at once attaches and stamps must be affixed. The aftlXing of caps or labels to such bottles will be taken. asF conclusive evidence that they are bottled for sale,' and if proper stamps have not been attached prior to that time the bottle must be stamped without fail when caps and labels are affixed. This ruling Is rendered at the urgent request Of the associated viticul- turists and wine merchants of California

FEELING AGAINST THE FIRM

 ITS OWN.
Four Herders Arrested by the New Commissioner-Uta Volunteer Cavalry Now Guarding
 the Reservation.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

WAWONA, Cal, Aug. 25.-The To- semitic Park, for the first time since 1t became a national park, has been this summer under the supervision of civil ians. The custom has been to have the park guarded and patrolled by the sol diers of the regular army. The war with Spain, however, caused the War Department to send the soldiers in- tended for here to the Philippines, in consequence of which Yosemite Park was without guard or patrol until June 25, when J. W. Zevely arrived to take charge of the park. He immedi ately gathered some of the best noun taineers in this section and sent them out into the park, one detail being in charge of Special United States Land Agent H. c. Cullom, and the other un- der Special Agent w. A. Buck.
 They have done excellent work. not withstanding the fact that the park was being overrun with sheep at the sheep had all the spring to drive their fiocks into the park. One hundred and seyenty-five thousand sheep have been elected from the park by the two de- tails.
 Special Agent Cullom returned yes terdGy, having in charge TOUT nerQerS whom he had under arrest for trespass- ing, their flocks being found in the park The sheep they had In charge was the property of Miller & Lux and G. w Mordecai of Madeira. Quite a feeling exists among people here against Miller & Lux for grazing nu- merous bands of sheep in the park, as the firm is known to have thousands of acres of land of its own. The herders of these fiocks have been elected once, and notified that if they returned they would be arrested, but as they did not heed the warning and were found in the park they were arrested and brought here, their sheep being scattered by the special agents.
 Quite a number of other bands of sheep have been found and have been scattered, and other arrests have been made.
 Owing to the existence of numerous and extensive fires In the park an extra force of men was engaged by Super intendent Zevely to fight them. and they are now under control Utah Volunteer Cavalry which left San Francisco on the 18th arrived here to- day. They are under command of Cap tain Caine and are to guard the To- semitic Park the balance of this season under the direction of Superintendent Zevely. The troops go into quarters at Camp A. E. Wood, formerly occupied by the regular troops.
