EXPLANATIONS GIVEN.
Internal Revenue Commissioners Gives Mean.
ing Of Certain Clauses in New Law.

Washington, July 3-In reply to numer-
ons Inquiries relative to the stamping OF
tickets for passage on vessels to foreign
or other American ports, the commits
sioner OF internal revenue has held az fol-
lows:
Tickets sold dated and issued prior TO
July ], 1858, though for passage on ves-
sells sailing after that date. are not sub
ject TO the stamp tax contemplated by
schedule A of the act Of June r. 1885
Tickets issued in the United States
for passage on a vessel not sailing from
any port of the United States, but from
Canadian port Cor other foreign p0rD
are not subject to the stamp tax under
this statute.
Tickets issued In Canada for passage
on a vessel sailing from United States
port are not subject to the stamp tax un-
der schedule A.
The only passage ticket for which the
stamp tax Is required to be paid under
this statute is a ticket issued for trans
portation of the passenger by any vessel
from port of the United States to a for :
elgn port. When, therefore, to such pas
senger ticket there is attached another4s
ticket emitting the passenger, after his#
arrival at the foreign port, to transport-
alton to various points in Europe. or else 3
where such additional tickets are not
subject TO the stamp tax.
THE stamp tax for passenger tickets
may be affixed thereto and cancelled at
the time and place where it is issued, or Z
it may be affixed and cancelled at the
pier before the passenger boarls the
vessel.

The commissioner has also decided that
there is no exemption from the stamp tax
on charity tickets issued at low rates;
also that "the company which leases
private telegraph wire between its New
York and Philadelphia offices. which wire
is used only for the private business OF

LAW CAUSES TROUBLE.
Telegraph and Express Companies Have Sharp
Fights On Stamp Supply Short.

New York, July 3.-The, demand for
the new revenue stamps was very large
but the pressure has been relieved 10
marked degree, and no serious en-
barrassment of business for lack Of
stamps is likely to follow. The supply
Of stamps will fan short of the r.
quirement for several days. but the
government should be able to fill all
orders by the end of the week.
Two sharp fights are on as a result
Of the revenue law-ane against the
telegraph companies. the other against
the express companies. The issues viii
be carried to the courts and fought u
the bitter end.
Members of the Fruit and Produce
Association are making a determined
fight against the requirement which
provides that the shipper shall place a
stamp upon bill of lading. They ar
que that the clear intent. of the law Is
that the telegraph and express COM
panies should pay this tax.
1t is held that the COMPANIES are not
authorized to act as agents for the
government in the collection of tax.
and that customers should not be sub
jected TO the annoyance of purchasing
stamps and afiixing them to telegraph
blanks and bills of ladng.
The railroad companies. which are
included in this section of the law, have
already recognized their responsibility.
They pay the tax, atfiXing stamps to
the bills of lading as delivered
Commission merchants have already
begun to retaliate against telegraph
companies by reducing the number of
messages. They will avoid the use of
telegraph wires whenever possible.

New York. July 3.--Thc board Of com
operations have been carried IN in the
islands Of the Pacific for nearly half a
century. has issued this concerning its
alleged attitude in the question Of the
status of some Of these islands. which

"It ought to be understood that the
