]RTI0N OF The WAR REVENUE ACT.

Washington, June 22.-Every effort Is
ury to put in operation on July l the ad-
hesve stamp tax sections of the war rev
enue act
1t is thought possible. however. to have
stamps on sale in all parts of the country
on that date, and in consequence It is eX-
pected that for several days 81 least bust
ness embarrassments will be many and in
some instances serious.
The law declares it shall be misie-
meanor not to affix stamp to any bank
check. note. draft, etc, punishable by a
fine not exceeding 5000.
The law further declares that such IN
stamped instrument, document or paper
shall not be competent evidence in any
case, in fact void. Ii is believed that many
embarrassments and even losses can Lot
be avoided. hence the secretary's request
for a postponement of fifteen days
Nevertheless the force at the bureau Of
engraving and printing is working every
hour of the twenty-four 10 get out the
stamps and efforts will be made to reduce
TO a minimum embarrassments arising iron
the new law.
About $50, 900 stamps were shipped to the
Pacific coast today and other shipments
will follow in rapid succession. The stamp
will be sent 10 collectors of internal rev
enue and by them distributed to deputies.
National banks in each town VIII re

stamps for the benefit Of the public unn
other arrangements can be made for iheii
distribution.

ficient number of local agencies to suppi'

be made and the hope is expressed tina
there will be found in every community
a sufficient number OF pubic-spirited cili

without proper compensation.

A VISIONARY SCHEME
ANOTHER FAIRY TALE REACHES
LONDON VIA MADRID.
II Is that Central and south Amer.

London, June % The Madrid CORE
spondent of the Daily Mail says:
Reliable information has been re-
South America that preliminary steps are
being taken to summon a conference OF
all South and Central American republics
TO consider the ACCESSIBILITY of adopting
defensive measures against aggression by
the United States.
I'm the revolutions that frequently break
out, it is said. 1t would be an easy mat
ter for the United States to step in on
some pretext or another and take posses
sion of some of those countries.
The Latin republics are firmly re-
solved 10 resist, Hence the conference.
the deliberations OF which will be conduct
ed in secret. The conference win not meet
until after the conclusion OF The present
war.
THE Latin republics wish to see how
the Americans will treat their Cuban pro-
tegeos and whether they will extend lheiy
operations to Porto Rico territory
sphere which 1t Is contended should be
kept apart from the Cuban question, as
the Porto Ricans seem satisfied with Span
sh rule.
should the doings of the Americans in
Cuba and Porto Rico confirm the belief
that they wish first to control and ulti-
mately to dominate the American CONT
nent the whole OF the South and Central
American republics will form themselves
into federation. agreeing to make common
cause with any one OF them which may
come into conflict with the United States.
Il have reason TO believe that should
this Pan American league become a reality
the next step would be the conclusion of
an agreement binding each of its units 10
keep up certain military and naval force.
Thus The league would be able to dispose
Of the confederated army and navy In case
Of conflict with the United States.
"No doubt is entertained that Spain will
take a lively interest In the scheme II is
even considered likely that she may enter
the league, contributing the weight of
her army and navy. How far the project
will he realized Il is impossible TO say.
"The rivalry OF Chile and Argentine for
supremacy in South America may hinder
its accomplishment, II is now known that
to certain extent this rivalry prevented
Chile from selling warships 10 Spain.

Grand Rapids, Mich, juno % "A full
state ticket, headed by Justice r. whiting,

II represents an equal distribution between
the three parties. The ticket was ratified In

The platforms do not conflict on any cs-

This remedy is intended especially for coughs, colds, croup, whooping cough and influenza. It has become famous for it's cures of these diseases, over a large part of the civilized world. The most flattering testi- monials have been received, giving accounts of it's gooC work: of the ag- gravatiDg and persistent coughs it has cured; of severe colds that have yielded promptly to it's soothing effects, and of the dangerous attacks of croup it has cured, often saving the life of the child.
