CONFERENCE ON STAMPS.
Omcials Call ON tn
Internal ReyeLue COmu,jssioner.

Transportation Omcials Call ON the
Internal ReveL ne COmnaissfOner.
A delegation of officials Of transporta-
tion companies visited Washington yes
terday. and had a conference with the
commissioner of Internal revenue relative
to the manner in which the war tax
stamps should be placed on shipping re-
ceipts. After explaining that at many
landings reached by bay steamers no
agents were stationed to issue bills of la
ding and 1t has never been customary to
issue them at local wharves. the delega-
ton suggested permission be given to
have the stamps placed on the manifests
or shipping lists which were made up on
the steamers. one stamp for each consign-
ment. The question was referred by
Commissioner Scott to the legal officials
for an opinion. This opinion is expected
to be given within forty-eight hours. and
in the meantime the, companies Com
missioner Scott said, can continue stamp
ing the manifests.
The point was also raised whether or
not 1t Is necessary to arfix stamps to the
shipping lists. 1t was contended that the
intent of the law is to require stamp
upon each bill of ladiag- issued, not to re-
quire the steamboat companies to issue
such bills of lading or receipts where none
are now issued and where none in fact.
can be issued because of the absence of
any shipper to receive them. The legal
officials seemed impressed with this view
and promised to pass upon the question.
Those in the delegation were: John S.
Wilson. president of the Baltimore, Ches-
apeake and Atlantic Railway: Henry Will
liams. president of the Weems Line:
George Warfield. president of the Chester
River Steamboat Company, and w. c. Ell
Jason. president Of the Colchester Steam
boat Company. q. ns-.
After the conference Mr.. Wilson went
to the War Department to inquire. into
the prospects of having the mines in Bal
timore harbor taken up. While nothing
definite could be obtained the impression
was given that they would be removed at
an early date. 1t is the feeling that
general order covering the different ports
which are protected by submarine mines
will be issued. The danger of Spanish
invasion is now regarded as having pass
ed. and the necessity for mines with the
accompanying restrictions affecting trade
is thought by many to no longer exist.
