When Removal VIII Begin.
REDEMPTION OF REVENUE sTAHPS.
The Power Vested In the Commits
sfOner Of the Bureau.

The commissioner of internal revenue
recently requested an opinion from the At
torney General to whether the provisions
of the Revised Statutes relating to the re-
demption of unused documentary stamps is
still in force and applicable to the admins
tratlon of the war revenue act, which con-
tains no provision for redemption. Acting
Attorney General Boyd, in his reply holds
that the former revenue laws authorizing Z
the issue of documentary stamps have all
been repealed and hence the redemption
acts pertaining to the same are now obso-
lete. But it is further held that under the
general powers vested in the commissioner
of internal revenue TO make and issue regu-
latCnS relative to the collection of the
revenues he is authorized, under such cir
cumstances as he may deem proper, to
provide for the redemption of documentary
stamps under the war revenue act
Ihe question arose on the applicati ton for
the redemption of a single $1,000 stamp
which had been purchased to affx to a
mortgage given by a railroad company. it
having been found that the amount pur-
chased was 81 $50 in excess of the require
ments of the law.

Uniform for Army Nurses,
MINISTER CONGER.s TRIP.

Will Visit Chinese Ports Where Amer
lean COnsulates Are Located.
The United States minister to China. Mr.
Conger. will soon embark on the gunboat
Princeton for a tour of points along the
Chinese coast where American consulates
are located. The arrival Of the Princeton at
Taku, China. was reported at the Navy De-
partment today, and this, together with the
fact that Minister Conger was to go aboard
gave rise to some rather exaggerated re-
ports as to the political significance of this
move 1t was stated very positively, how
ever. both at the State Department and at
the Navy Department that there was no
political Significance whatever in this trip
of the minister on the warship. For a num-
ber of years it has been usual for the
State Department to ask the Navy Depart
ment to place warship at the disposal of
our minister in China during the summer
months in order that he might make tour
of the coast points. Mr.. DENLY, while min
lister, repeatedly availed himself of this
privilege. and Mr.. Conger has also done so
while at Peking. 1t is said that the present
trip Is Of the same character.

able to pay the expense of removing bu-
reaus of the Department of the Interior

purpose in the legislative act approved
February "A, 1899, which contains the fol-
lowing:
That the appropriation of $4,000 made
by the deficiency appropriation act approv-
ed July Z, 1898, to furnish the old Post
Office Department building when vacated
by the Postmaster General is made avail
able also for repairs of said building that
may be found essential to prepare il fer
occupancy by offices of the Interior De-
partment, and said appropriation. together
with the appropriation of 5000 made by
SAID act for expense of removal of offices
OF the Interior Department to said build
ing, is hereby made available during the
fiscal year 1900
When Removal Will begin.
AS soon as the Post Office Department
vacates its present quarters the $4,000
for repairs, &c, provided in the above act
will be expended, and then the removal cf
