WAR REVENUE RULINGS.
Of Interest to the Business Community
Papers That Must Be stamped-Ool
lector Gan Not Appoint Agents
for Gala of S+omns

The war revenue law appears to con-
fuse many of those who are compelled to
use stamps for different purposes, and
in answe to nan questions received at
the internal revenue Office in this city,
Collector Morrison has authorized the
publication of the following rulings of
the Treasury department and other in
formation:
The collector has no power to appoint
agents for the sale of stamps under the
wal revenue law. The only way stamps
can be sold outside of the collector s Of
tlce Is by banks or other places OF bust
ness buying 500 or OF stamps of the
various denominations and selling them
to the public. The government allows
discount of l per cent on all such pur-
chases. 1t is useless to request the col
%lector, by letter, to appoint agents, as-he
can not do so in any case.
Unless the following classes of bust
nessmen have the form No. II in the
collectors Office before the 31st of the
present month, a penalty of so per cent
will be added to their taxes: Bankers.
brokers, pawnbrokers, commercial brok-
ers, custom house brokers, proprietors
of circuses, proprietors of all other eXhi-
billions or shows for money, proprietors
of bowling alleys and billiard rooms.
dealers in leaf tobacco, dealers in to-
bacco (persons who sell nlfacturcd
tobacco, snuff or cigars whose annual
sales exceed $4,000 pounds, and manu-
f%acturers of tobacco.
No stamp is required on ordinary re-
ceipts.
A 2.cent stamp is required on an order
for cash drawn on a merchant by n of
his customers.
Certificates of deposit drawing interest,
if left a certain time, are taxable the
same as promissory notes.
Real estate mortgage notes require to
be stamped, in addition to the stamps
placed on the mortgage.
Where there is a pledge of property
accompanying any promissory note,
which pledge is subject to stamp tax
under schedule A, this stamp must be
paid, Notwithstanding the fact Il stamp
is also required on the note connected
with 1t.
In case of loans on real estate. where
promissory notes arc given, which are
not paid at maturity, but on which an
extension of time of payment is granted,
without the taking of a new note, it is
held that every such extension is u re-
newal of the note within the meaning
of the statute, and that the requisite
stamp must be affixed for every such re-
newal or extension. This also applies
to notes discounted before July ]. fall
ing due on or after that date.
Where a check is presented at a bank
without having the requisite stamp
fixed, the bank, if it pays such I'M
stamped check, becomes liable to the
penalty provided by section 10 of the
act. The bank may remedy such defect
by afixing the proper stamp.
Baggage forwarded by railroad com
pany or express. subject to extra
charges, comes within the law requir-
ing stamp on the bill of lading, or other
evidence of receipt and forwarding.
1t is the duty Of carriers to issue Il bill
of lading or receipt for goods accepted

With the proper sort of a mar as a
candidate for delegate to the 58th con-
gress, the Republicans will be success
full in the coming campaign in this ter
ritory. There are fractional differences
in the Republican ranks in one or two
sections of the territory, but these a
and will be adjusted by the nomination
of the right man as such candidate. 1t
is as certain as anything well a be, that
with a sensible and energetic conduct
of the coming campaign and with good,
clean nominations for the legislature
and for county offices, the Republicans
will elect a majority of the members of
the assembly and carry a majority of
the county tickets. This is the situa-
ton. The Republican party OF the ter
ritory should act accordingly.

The New Clerk OF the Supreme Court.

jose D. Sena, who has just been APP
pointed clerk of the Supreme court of
the territory, was born in Santa Fe or
February 10, 1867. He is the youngest
son of the late Major j. d. Sena, and is
in every sense of the word a son of San
ia Fe, having been raised here and re-
ceived his primary education in st.
Michaels college in this city, afterward
attending the Las Vegas Jesuit college,
and finishing his collegiate course in the
St, Louis university, conducted by the
same order. Upon his return to Santa
Fe, Mr.. Sena was employed by the late
Archbishop Lamy and Archbishop Sal
pointe in the st. Catherine Government
Indian school for two years, having
charge of that institution. On leaving
that position he was private secretary
to Governor L. Bradford Prince. deputy
United States marshal. interpreter for
the Indian Office and also for the Dis
tri.t court, and more recently chief
clerk in the auditors Office under the
Hon. Demetrio Perez.
Nh. Sena was twice nominated a N
didate for the Office of city clerk here
on the Republican ticket and also elect
ed a member of the city board of educa-
ton. In November, 1896, he was a can
didate IN the Republican ticket Of this
county for member of the lower house
of the 32nd Legislative assembly and was
elected by a majority of 100 votes. Dur
ing the session of the assembly he
proved himself honest, energetic, hard
working, successful and always at work
for the best interests of his constituents
in this county and of the territory at
large.
Since then he was employed as secre-
tary and translator to the commission
for the compilation of the laws of the
territory and worked hard and faith
fully for many months in that capacity.
He represents the young element of the
native citizens of this territory in a very
favorable degree. He is a good and
staunch Republican, and as his record
shows stands well in his party. He is
competent and reliable and will perform
the duties of the important office to
which he has been named to the salts
faction of the court and of the attor-
neys having business there and the pub
lie in general.
The court did a very graceful and
proper act in appointing Mr.. Sena, and
one that will meet with the fullest APP
proval of the people in every section of
the territory.

Tho terms 0 which neacA will b,

The terms upon which peace will be
concluded are yet to be evolved from tho
situation. One thing seems certain,
and that is the islands of Cuba and
Puerto Rico will become possessions of
the United States. In regard to the
Ladrones and Philippines, there is the
question. There is a great difference of
opinion in the country as to the best
disposition to be made of these islands,
but there is also an ~undonbted and over
whelming sentiment in the country in
favor of their permanent retention. but
this sentiment may not be so pro-
nounced as to outweigh all other con
siderationS entering into the case. But
be that as it may, the people of this
country will never consent to the islands
being returned to Spain to exercise COM
plete control e them.
The question of indemnity for the ex-
penses of the war will be another knotty
one. but it will not stand so much in the
way of peace as the disposition of the
Philippine islands.
1t is asserted that no armistice has
been arranged pending the peace
sparring. and considerable activity will
prevail in the army and navy of the
United States until some understanding
is reached regarding hostilities. While
peace negotiations have undoubtedly
begun, no one need to expect the return
of the soldiers from the field of glory by
the next train. 1t took a long time to
stir up the war, some time to convince
Spain that she was waging a hopeless
struggle, and it will require probably a
longer time to reach terms which will be
satisfactory to both nations, unless the
United States loses patience and forces
the Spaniards to take any kind of terms
they can get. In the long run there is
some grounds for believing that the
latter course will be the better to follow.

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Jan. S.-There was a profit
taking ON quite q large scale in the
stock market to-day after an additional
advance in prices in the early trading.
That there should be taking of quick
profits after such a sharp rise as that IF
the last two days was to be expected and
the professional dealers who bought
stock late ON Wednesday and Thurs
days sold their holdings of the most
active and strongest issues. The reaIi-
zing was quite pronounced in its effect
on New York Central and Sugar, which
reacted more than a point from the
high level Of the morning. There was
evidence of continued realizing also in
the local traction companies.
Some of the anthracite group also con-
tinued under depression to-day Not
withstanding these re-actionary tenden-
cies, the general tone of the specula-
ton continued strong and confident.
Business was on large scale and EN-
braced a large number of different is
sues, some of the usually inactive stocks
being brought into prominence by sharp
advances. The pressure Of large sums
Of newly disbursed money seeking ce-
investment was reflected in the demand
for high grade investment stocks.
The demand for bonds also continued
very heavy. There was one transaction
of 100000 of New York, Chicago aud
st. Louis, Us at 107. Prices of high
grade bonds generally are now at the
highest and the pressure Of investment
funds forces money into the middle and
lower grade issues. Realizing at the
close reduced prices considerably from
the best and in some cases wiped out
earlier gains. This cansed an easx- Clos
ing with NET changes u44Aed between
gains and losses.

stock market this week in an outbreak
