WAR TAX RULING.
One That Has Important Bearing
Upon Notes and Mort-accs.

WASHINGTON. Nov 1S.-Commission-
er Wilson, of the internal revenue bu-
reau. has decided an important question
relative to the taxability of the transfers
OF mortgages, both chattel and real
The question came up on recent de-
cision by Judge Woolson, of the United
States district court, at Keokuk. To-.
who refused to allow q mortgage to be
offered in evidence because 1t was not
stamped as a transfer. 1t appears that
the mortgage was given to secure the
payment Of a note, which note passed
by Endorsement, through several hands
Judge Woolson declined to allow the
mortgage to be introduced in evidence
on the ground that 1t had not been
stamped for each transfer.
Commissioner Wilson does not concur
with Judge Woolson, and takes the view
that If the mortgage was stamped when
first given 1t is not subject to the stamp
tax, as these transfers were simply i'm
piled and not expressed. He rules that
congress intended only to tax the express
assignments and transfers Of mortgages
and not those that were merely implied.

LOURENZO MARQUES, Delagoa Bay,
Nov. B-Belated dispatches from a cor
respondent with the Beers near Lady
smith up to Tuesday, Nov IA, are arriving
here after being strictly censored at Pre-
torla They throw some light on the
lighting already reported from other
sources. They say that on Friday, Nov
10, eight lyddite shells were fired into
the Transvaal central artillery position
without doing any harm. The wood of
the platform Of the second of the big
guns on Bulwana hill was damaged, but
has since been repaired.
Commandant Weilbach captured a
man who reported that Gen. White was
wounded and has gone to Pietermaritz-
burg, leaving Gen. French in command
This, however, does not tally with the
TransvaaIs information. The prisoner
also reported that the British forces Were
hiding in underground chambers in order
to avoid the Shells and said there were
about 600 wounded in the hospitals.
Gen. Joubert had been indisposed, but
Is better.
On Monday Nov. 13, the British forts
on the north side Of Ladysmith opened
on the nearest Boer battery and the
shells fell so thickly that the Beers were
compelled to lie fiat and sheltered. Later
they opened fire on the British batteries
which ceased firing.
Heavy fighting occurred between the
Orange Free State troops and the Brit
ish south of Ladysmith during the morn
ing of Tuesday, Nov. Ii. The result Is
not known. From Lombard's kop the
British batteries We're visible, Smelling
the Free Staters position. A Transvaal
big gun shelled the British batteries.

NURSERY CARS.

lar About Travelling Companions.

The innovation Of a nursery car upon
our railways-or, at any rate, upon the
long distance trainS-wOuld be an inStttu-
ton hailed with delight by all men ard
most women.
How many men who do not themselves
smoke invariably travel in q smoking
carriage because there they feel more Sc
cure from an invasion of children and
babies than in any other part of the train.
Babies form q class entirely by them
selves in the category of unpleasant
travelling companions, and there are prob
ably few who at some time in their lives
have not had experience of the noisy,
sticky-hngered, eppermint-sucking, dear
little children, who trample on your toes
and deposit luscious, half-sucked gobs Of
taffy on your trousers in their endeavOrs
to reach the window to put their heads
out. whence. they are promptly hauled
back by anxious mothers or nurses, and
cry; or the babies in arms who placidly
assimilate milk from bottle until jolt

that moment more nourishment than they
can possibly. deal with; or the inquiring
child who plays with the hinges of the
door until the guard slams it; or the child
who is perpetually feeding, and through
out the journey sits in a semi-torpid state
sucking oranges, the all-pervading odor
Of which fills the carriage.
Babies are all very well, but baby in a
railway carriage, like a bull in q china
shop, is out of place
