stamp representing the tax of 2 cents
on each 500 of face value or fraction
thereof, as IL is not an original issue.
The only stamp required with refer
ence to these certificates is a stamp on
the transfer OF the shares sold, repre-
senting payment of the tax of 2 cents
on each 800 of the face value or frac-
ton thereof.

tion) where a nan holds several certi-
fcates for shares of stock a~ggregating
100 shares n for his convenience calls
upon the company to issue to him in
lieu thereof one certificate for 100 shares,

transfer of this new certificate, the stat
ute does not require the afiixing of any
stamp thereto.

WAR TAX IN FORCE.


Enough Stamps.
New York, July 1.-The World says
this morning.: The war tax law in it's
entirety is in force to-day. The sched-
ules relating to tobacco and tea became
operative June IA; the other schedules
took effect at midnight. There is a
great scarcity Of stamps. The govern
ment. with all it's equipment, has been
able to furnish only a fraction of the
supply needed. AS a result several
large manufacturers of proprietary med
icines will be forced to reduce their
output for days, or perhaps weeks. UNI
I'll the supply of stamps is adequate.
The Western Union Telegraph company
received 200. 600 one-cent lamps the
postal Telegraph 100, 900. the Anglo
American 0 1000 and the Transatlantic
$4,000. Two-cent postage stamps. with
the letters Il. r." on them. were sold
in place of stamps designed from diff
ferent classes. The dollar stamps were
the highest denomination sold. The
telegraph companies have not yet re-
ceived h stamps necessary to proper
ly conduct their business. Until they
get them. one cent will be charged for
each message and the money turned
over to the collector.
The telegraph and express companies

lading by compelling them to buy the
stamp anI cancel it. The companies
will carry supplies for several days. but
later on the public will be expected to
furnish its W stamps.
The Herald says: Some of the lead
ing events of the day Thursday were:
The announcement of the New York
Telephone company that it would re-
duce the price of toll messages from 10
to 10 cents within the limits of Man
haitian n Bronx, except messages
from one of the two districts to the
other. the company thereby avoiding
the necessity of paying any war tax
on such messages; the announcement or
express companies that they Will compel
the public to pay the one-cent tax on
the packages and the threat of the Mer-
chants association to carry the matter
into the courts; the opinion of Com
missioner Scott that the tax on stock
transfers is not so extensive as was
originally supposed: the apparent dis
covery of Wall street that under GER
tain circumstances bonds are exempt
from taxation: the ruling that brokers
engaging i'm different branches of trade.
such as stocks. grain. cotton and real
estate, must take out a separate license
for each branch: the decision in the
case of future sales on the floor of an
exchange that the tax is payable on

delivery.

rieved he knows a great deal about the
case. Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas were well
connected, and their range disap-
pearance was the talk of the entire

Relics of Spanish Domination.

New Orleans Picayune: All that is
now visible in the city of New Orleans
that recalls the Spanish domination in
Louisiana is comprised in the chapel Of

and Presbytery buildings (erected a few
years after the building of the cathed-

side. Similarly, only one relic of the
French colonial days of Louisiana sur

Ursuline convent on Ursulines street

relic of the presence of Europeans in
the Mississippi valley. Thus, by the

SOME GOOD PRIZES.
The Spanish transport Manila was found
in three feet of mud up near the navy
yard, but the Petrol was able to tow her
off, and she came out under her own
steam and anchored near the squadron.
She is a beautiful little steamer of 1000
tons. On board were supplies for the
navy and 500 tons of coal. The Raleigh
is now filing her bunkers with the coal
captured on this steamer. In addition to
the latter about a dozen small tugs and
steam launches have been seized I'd are
now being used by the American fleet
The terms of the surrender of Manila
have not been fixed. The commodore
wants to avoid a bombardment. in the in
terests of humanity and to keep from in
hicting terrible loss on unoffending neu-
trails. Besides this, the rebels are massed
near the city, and, should it be lombard
ed, it would be a signal for their descent
to pillage and burn.
DAMAGED AMERICANS.
The following is an accurate list of the
damage and injuries sustained by the
Americans during the battle of Manila
bay:
Baltimore-Five shot holes in her upper
works and six men wounded by Al
inch shell striking and exploding a g.
FOUNDER shell; injuries not serious.
Raleigh-One FOUNDER shell through her
Whaleboat, now repaired.
Boston, Petrol, Concord-No damage or
injuries.
The Spanish fleet was slightly over
in ordnance, but not in such
degree to account for the disparity in the
inflicted. OF the guns that
throw a shell of one pound or over. the
Spanish carried 90. while the American
fleet was armed with us of such weapons.
