smart pace and as soon as she reached deep

WAR REVENUE DECISIONS.
Railroad Companies Said to BE Daily VIE
lating the Law.

Till tuO La"
WASHINGTON. Sept. 2.-Reports have been
made to the Internal Revenue Bureau that a
number OF railroads. and among them some OF
the large corporations. are daily violating the
internal revenue laws by issuing receipts for
excess baggage without duly stamping the
same. as required to do under the War Rev.
enue act. The bureau has called the attention
of collectors in certain sections where the prac-
tice Is in vogue. and has directed them where
possible to make an estimate of the number OF
receipts that have illegally issued.
The following rulings OF the Commissioner
Of Internal Revenue were promulgated to-day:
An inheritance consisting exclusively Of Gov
eminent bonds Is subject to tax under the
same conditions as money or other personal
property.
Occasional entertainments. given for the
benefit OF lodges or churches. do not require q
special tax.
Building and loan associations are not ex-
empted from any other tax than that upon
stocks and bonds issued by them.
Insurance companies who loan money on
real estate. and as evidence Of these loans take
notes and mortgages. are not liable to the
special tax as brokers.
Deeds and bonds OF educational institutions
other than State institutions. executed and
1893. are not exempt from the stamp tax.
An annuity Is IL form Oh insurance WlInln JHb
meaning OF the War Revenue act. though not
called by that name and the instrument EVIL
dencing the contract should be stamped at the
ratio Of eight cents for each 500 or fractional
part thereof of the amount issued that is to
say, the amount agreed to be paid by the com-
pany. which is a specified annual sum-. and the
stamp tax would accrue upon each annual pay
ment as made under this continuing contract.
A modification has been made OF a former
ruling permitting the acceptance OF certain
classes Of unstamped messages by telegraph
officer or agent OF any railroad company adj
dressed TO another officer or agent Of n railroad
road when such messages are in regard to the
affairs and services OF the railroad company.
Also messages from an officer or agent OF any
agent Of n connecting railroad company, when
such messages are in regard to the Joint BUSH
ness OF the two railroad companies.

Walking Delegates Discuss Proposal to Har-

monte with Employers.
The Board OF Walking Delegates met yester-
day and discussed the proposed plan to come
to some agreement with the United Building
Trades by which all sympathetic strikes are to
be avoided. 1t is expected that there will be
great activity in the building trades in the fall.
and both employers and employees desire to
prevent this revival in business from being re-
tarded by sympathetic strikes. Many mechanics
have been out OF work a long time. and would
not like to be called upon to strike as soon as
they get a Job.
The Board Of Walking Delegates has ap-
pointed n committee to confer with a commit
tee Of the United Building Trades to form a
plan Of harmony. The United Building Trades
includes the Mason Builders Association and
the Electrical Contractors Association. Tho
few employers associations which are not in
the United Building Trades will be glad, they
say. to cooperate in any plan which will pre-
vent strikes.
William ]. O'Brien. President OF the Board Of
Walking Delegates. said. that q truce had been
declared between the board and the United
Building Trades while negotiations regarding
a plan OF harmony were going on. Though
the United Building Trades first proposed tho
conference" he said. we have not received the
names Of its committee. All we will insist on is
that tho committee will be composed OF fair

chain started by his granddaughter only to
find himself involved in a difficulty with Father
Fitzpatrick Of st. Mary's Catholic Church re-
garding q brindled COW with two crumpled

much ingenuity and pertinacity in finding o

an aristocratio nor a beautiful looking COW.
The Morgan household was kept as busy
driving her out Of the place as It was q few
weeks ago in opening Miss schenk's Red Cross

the COW belonged to Father Fitzpatrick. he
did not address the priest directly. but made

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sir: In your

feels proud Of the fact that the 81. Paul was the
only vessel Of the United States feet that en-
gagged alone in combat with the foe."
doubt very much IL Capt. Sigsbee can have
made this remark. as 1t is u known fact that
! the auxiliary cruiser Yosemite. while blockad-
ing San Juan alone for three weeks. had a
"single-handed combat" in that same har-
Dor OF San Juan against much greater odds
even than the st. Paul had had to contend
with. According to you own account Of

ashore and drove the Spanish warships Is

OF the capital against our army came on the
story that the Yosemite destroyed the Lopez
Concho and isabel II. are, at San Juan. They
went out to the place where the Lopez was
beached and were at work for several days un-
loading her cargo. They saved almost every
thing that was Of any value, Everybody at
San Juan was surprised that the Yosemite did
not continue her, firing into the Lopez, which
must eventually have caused her to blow up,
because large quantities Of explosives. formed
part OF her cargo. This powder was all brought
ashore. 1t had been badly needed.
