REVENUE STAMP RULING.
Adhesive Internal Revenue Stamps
May BE Redeemed

WASHINGTON, Oct II. - Acting
Commissioner Wilson, of the internal
revenue bureau, has held that adhesive
internal revenue stamps sold to per-
sons exclusively for resale may be re-
deemed upon presentation Of the same
through the collector from whom they
were purchased, accompanied by a
claim for allowance, together with an
affidavit Of the facts of purchase, etc.
This rule Is made upon the assump-
ton that in many cases the purchase
Of adhesive stamps for resale was for
the disinterested purpose of assisting
the government in the distribution Of
the stamps, when such assistance was
eagerly sought, and so exercised for
the time being quasi-public duties
This rule, however, does not apply to
stamps imprinted on checks, drafts or
other instruments, nor to any adhe-
sive documentary stamps other than
those Of the denomination Of two cents
Therefore the only stamps to which al
lowance can be made are the adhesive
documentary stamps of the denomina-
ton Of two cents, and proprietary
stamps other than private die stamps

WILD GOOSE CHASE.
Hints of Treachery ON the Part of
the Black Faction


NEW YORK, Oct. 17.4Col9 Roosevelt
went up the state campaigning and
expected to address a big meeting in
the bailiwick Of Gov. Black, but a
crowd of only 300 clustered on a coun-
try fair ground. He lost no time in
hurrying back to the city. re was in
formed that he was wanted in Troy to
sreak at a meeting that sw55,ld be at
tended by thousands. Just before he
boarded the train he learned that his
destination was the fair grounds of the
Rensselaer, County Agricultural and
Horticultural association, at West Sand
lake, eight miles southeast of Troy.
That Chairman Odell was r1isled is
the general impression. Nobody believes
he would knowingly send his party's
candidate on a wild goose chase of
more than 800 miles. Gov. Black and
his Rensselaer, county followers do not
escape criticism. They, it was limited
could have made a success Of the trip
There are whispers of treachery, al
though Gov Black assured Col. Roose-
Welt that Rensselaer, county would give
him majority that would be little
short of that given President McKin-
ley two Years ago. ~

One Company L Boy.

One Company e Boy.
f. d. LOTUS, Of Company e, Of the
Thirteenth, is cooking for the officers
mess, of forty-eight. In a letter 10 his
aunt in this city, he says:
1.-THE weather here is not so very
warm, but for few hours in the day.
1t has not been as high as 80 yet. The
nights are delightful and the breeze
from the ocean fine, but person can
only get few hours sleep at a time.
The mosquitoes are something awful,
and then there are spiders. tarantulaS,
ants and lizards, and it keeps one busy
trying to keep them off. We sleep on
cots or bamboo beds. l tie my hands
around my head. All the water that we
drink has to be boiled and then cooled.
There is a great deal Of fever here
at present, and also dysentery.
THE way things look at present,
think we will stay here until spring,
and may have to stay here two years,
but / hope not.
This place is getting to be more like
city since the Americans got it. There
are quite a number of English German
and Spanish residents, and they have
fine houses. The women are about as
fne-looking as 1 have ever seen. They
are very proud and naughty. They
dress in the finest style.
The street car service is comical.
The cars are about as big as the old
horse cars were in st. Paul. They use
one small horse and there are four me en-
employed on each car. The cars ho.d
about thirty, if crowded. There are
no bells, but the driver blows a whistle
The fare to New Manila, three miles
from here. is cents, and it is collected
in three parts.
The streets are very narrow and
the sidewalks are a fright. Only one
person can walk at a time. There is
a fine park and driveway around the
bay. The scenery is grand and every
thing is green and fresh. The city is a
queer place, and a person might get so
they would like it. but I prefer the
American soil. With a S. gold piece a
person can get a suit of clothes and
$3.50 in change One can get a good
meal for rs cents. The men servants
work here for pesos a month go, and

adam ports and also the facts as to the
practice of charitable institutions in as
sisting paupers, criminals and other
undesirable classes to immigrate to the.
United States.
Mr. Watchorn finds that the strict
enforcement OF our immigration laws,
particularly at the port of New York.
has resulted in compelling ,Slnscrupu-
lous immigration agents .abrdad to seek
to evade them by sending the most un-
desirable classes to Canada, at the
same time assuring them that they
would find little or no difficulty in
passing the border into the United
States. In very many instances Mr.
Watchorn thinks this scheme has been
successfully carried out.

WHO WAS TO BLAME?
INQUIRY INTO THE CAUSE OF THE
MICHIGAN DISASTER
COmpany's London Manager Cues
ttOned-GOes Over for
Week.

FALMOUTH, Oct. 1.-THE inquest
upon the remains Of the victims Of the
wreck of the Mohegan was adjourned
today for week, in order to allow of
the attendance of a representative OF
the board of trade.
One of the rescued passengers Gre
ated sensation by declaring that there
were no officers about except the cap
tain when they were most needed to
supervise the launching Of the boats.
The inquest began this afternoon in
the church at st. Keverine, because it
was necessary formally to Identify the
dead there. The survivors were oblig-
ed to ride twenty miles over the roads
to Falmouth The coroner expressed
his sympathy with the relatives, many
of them of distant but kindred coun-
try" The roll of dead was then call
ed. One woman's body was claimed by
two families. Other bodies had no
Identification.
A. S. Williams, the company's Lon
don manage described the ship as one
Of the finest kind. He said they had
had trouble with her boilers on her
first voyage and had Withdrawn her
from one trip, devoting several weeks
to repairing her machinery, which was
perfectly adjusted. He described the
officers of the Mohegan in the highest
terms, laying stress upon the abstemi-
BUSINESS of Capt. Griff1ths.
Juror-Was Capt. Griffiths in good
health?
Mr.. Williams-I saw him just before
the Mohegan started, and he seemed
perfectly well then.
The Jurors it not fact that he
was lying on couch most of the first
day?
Mr. Williams-I should be extremely
70
there is no officer of the Mohegan liV-
ing. We know that they and the crew
did all they could to save the passen-
gers.
Richard Kelly, Passenger-There was
not an officer on the deck when the
crew were trying to get out the boats.
The only officers I saw were Capt.
Grifhths and another on the bridge.
Mr.. Williams-I can prove that all
Of the officers were on deck and aid
ing to get out the boats.
Mr.. Kelly insisted that the boats
were improperly arranged, being sur
rounded by railing instead Of swung
on davits, so that they were with diff
f1culty launched
Mr.. Williams contended that the
launching Of four boats in twenty min
utes was good work.
The coroner adjourned the inquest for
a week to secure the attendance of g.
nautical expert representing the board
of trade. After the adjournment Mr..
Kelly complained that only members Of
the crew had been summoned to teS-
tify. The coroner replied that he would
be very glad to hear the experiences of
the passengers. In response, Mr.. Kelly
with others protested inability to re-
main for an adjourned hearing a week
later, offering to testify Immediately.
The coroner decided that this was out
of the question.
The total number of bodies reported
recovered up to midnight is fifty-six.
The bodies Of Mrs Fisinger and Miss
Saunders have been identified.
