War Taxes on Medicines.

An important opinion rendered by Assist
ant Attorney General Boyd has been sent
to the Secretary of the Treasury constituting
section 20 of the war revenue act relative
to taxes under schedule on medicinal ar
ticles and preparations. The opinion in
substance holds that the subjects of taxa
tion under the said section and schedule
are confined to compounded patent, trade
mark and proprietary medicines and to such
compound specifics and medicinal remedies
as are put up in pa ackages ready for use by
the consumer without the Intervention of a
physician or pharmacist. On the other
hand, it is held that the law does not tax
medicinal preparations which are uncom-
pounded, or which, If compounded, are put
Up under medical or pharmaceutical names
for classification for the use of physicians
in practice or druggists or pharmacists in
their trade. This decision is Of general i'm
portance to the medicine and drug business
throughout the country, and had the effect
of relieving from stamp tax many standard
medicines, such as the serums and many
others. This opinion is now being embodied
in new regulations which will be promul-
gated very soon. The amounts of the taxes
paid on these excepted articles will be re-
funded by the government.

TO OCCUPY WAKE ISLAND,
The Remington to Seize 1t in the
Name of the United States.

The government has determined to hoist
the flag over another island far out in the
Pacific ocean, and orders were sent out last
night to the commander of the Bennington
Captain Taussig, to proceed at once to
take possession in the name of the United
States government of Wake Island, lying
in latitude 10 north, longitude 166 east 1t
is distant about 1000 miles from Nihau
the westernmost of the Hawaiian Islands,
and 1900 miles east from Guam. 1t is al
most in a direct line between these pos
sessions of the United States, and is ad-
mirably adapted for use as station for a
Pacific cable to connect the Philippines
with Hawaii and the United States. 1t is
about three miles in length and incloses a
lagoon CT salt water The average height
Of the island is eight feet above high tide.
1t is scarcely capable in itself of sustaining
life, but it is expected that cable station
can be maintained without difficulty by
the erection of a condenser to supply fresh
water. Some station in this locality is
deemed to be absolutely necessary to the
maintenance of a cable, and for that rea-
son the American peace commissioners at
Paris endeavored to secure one of the Caro-
line Islands, but without success.
Wake Island is said to be by right al
ready American territory, for in 1851 Ad-
miral Wilkes surveyed the place and as
serted title. 1t is not inhabited so far as
known at the present time, though in the
past some guano gatherers have tempo
rarily lived on the island.
The Bennington is now at Honolulu and
the orders to her go out by steamer. After
hosting the flag on Wake Island she will
proceed to Guam and make the survey of
the island, which was ordered some time
ago. She has already completed a survey
OF Pearl harbor, seven miles from Homo
lulu. which will form the foundation of
the government plans for the enlargement
of the harbor there and the Strengthening
of the channel connecting the inner har-
Dor with the ocean.

PRAISES THE MOBILE.
Mai. Hopkins Speaks Highly of the
Refitted Army Transport.


Maj. Hopkins, military aid to Secretary
Alger, returned to Washington yesterday
from Cuba. He was sent by the Sec
retary from Savannah to Havana on the
transport Mobile, which thu i made her first
trip since being refitted, with a view to
reporting personally to the Secretary upon
the adequacy Of this type Of transport for
army service Maj. Hopkins indorsed thor
oughly the extremely favorable reports up
on this vessel that have already reached
the department through the regular official
channels. He believes that the Mobile is
worthy to form the nucleus of an army
transport service that shall excel any other
In the world in the comfortable surround
ings supplied to the soldiers 1t is not yet
definitely decided that' the Mobile will be
sent to Manila, as was originally proposed,
Tor there Is demand just now for her
services in supplying the remaining troops
needed to garrison Cuba.
Maj. Hopkins does not feel seriously ap-
prehensive Of disturbances IN Havana in
eident to the REIMBURSEMENT of Spanish
sovereignty, and at least he is confident
that the American and Spanish troops will
not become embroiled.S

Precautions Against Indians.

The War Department has taken steps to
strengthen the military force in the Sioux
Indian country, South Dakota. This is
merely precautionary, as the officials deem
it advisable to be prepared for any possible
contingency which may arise. The 1st Cav
airy, with headquarters at Fort Riley,
Kan, will be utilized mainly for the pur-
pose and will be moved from the various
stations at which it is scattered in the west
northward toward Fort Meade, S. D., where
two companies are now located. The re-
naming companies are at Fort Riley, Fort
Robinson, Neb.; Fort Yates, n. D.; Fort
Washakie, Wyo.: Fort Keogh, Mont; Fort
Sill, Okla, and Fort Niobrara. Neb. The
movement is expected to begin very soon.
The 1st Regiment will be relieved by the
9th Cavalry, which, with its headquarters,
is now at Huntsville. Ala.

Soldier Vote fcr Mr.. Cochran.

The soldier vote has made certain the
reelection of Representative Cochran from
the nineteenth congressional district of
New York. The vote was very close in the
two counties composing the district, the
official count showing only two republican
plurality. In this situation it was impos-
sible to give the final result until the SOL
der vote arrived and was canvassed. This
was done this week, and 1t showed a ma
jority of twenty-three for Mr.. Cochran.
This added to the, two plurality on the
home vote gives Mr.. Cochran a plurality of
twenty five.

A Poor Counterfeit,

poor counterfeit Of the 81 silver certifi-
cate has made its appearance, and the Sc
cret service has sent out the usual warn
ing. The note is calculated to deceive only
the most careless handlers of money, as it
is badly printed, blotchy, with ink of poor
quality. The face of the note is coal black,
instead of gray black, as in the genuine
and the back is light faded green. The
note is apparently printed from photo-etch-
ed plates on heavy bond paper, and no at
tempt has been made to initiate the silk

has arisen as to the right Of the United
States TO send troops to Manila under
the terms OF the protocol and the arms

der the protocol Manila city. harbor ano
bay were placed under the control of the
United States. and that we have the same
right to reinforce Manila that we would
have to send troops to any other army
post. Spain, 1t was said. would have no
right to protest against the action of the
United States. as the movement of troops

testimony in some particulars conflicts,
IL was plain that Fireman Wilson, the

night. had threatened the life Of the en-
gineer. who had reported him to the
master mechanic and secured his dis
charge. Wald and Wilson assaulted
the engineer. and after he had been Sc
