Require No Internal Revenue
Stamps. Except for the Notarinl
Acknowledgement.
st. Paul, Aug. 15.-Collector of Reve-
nue. Won Baumbach is in receipt of a
letter from Commissioner of internal
Revenue Wilson in Washington an
swering Won Baumbachs request for
a decision upon the matter of revenue
stamps required upon assignments of
sheriffs certificates. The decision as
follows:
Having in mind the fact that sher-
ifs certificate in the State of Mime
sofa becomes a conveyance of real es-
tate after a period of twelve months
without any further action, I advise
you that the transfer of such an in
strumept prior to the expiration OF
twelve months is not taxable. If such
a transfer requires a notorial acknowl-
edgement, the acknowledgement is
subject to a tax of 10 cents. After the
expiration of twelve months the origi-
nal certificate should be stamped as q
conveyance if it was not SO stamped
prior to the expiration Of said time,
you having informed me that some
parties have the instrument stamped
as conveyance when it is issued. A
transfer of the instrument after the ex-
piration of twelve months, and for a
valuable consideration, under the rul-
ing in Circular No. 555, becomes con-
veyance of real estate and should be
stamped as such.'

ternational forces to enter Peking, SO
that in effect the Russian position does
not differ materially from that Of the
other powers. At least Russia is in
cluded among those who fully approve
the course taken by the United States.
Situation Desperate.
London, Aug. 15.-The British consul
at Canton, says the Daily Telegraph's
correspondent there, has received the.
following message, dated Aug. 6, from
Sir Claude Macdonald, British minis
tor IN PelsinE'
"our situation here IL desperate. In
ten days our food supply will be at an
end. Unless we are relieved general
massacre is probable. The Chinese
offer to escort us to Tien-tsin, but re-
membering Campore, we refuse tho
offer. There are over two hundred
European women and children in this
legation"
Details of the Capture.
A Yang Tsun dispatch dated Aug. Z.
giving details regarding the capture OF
that place, says;
"The Russians and French held the
left, the British the left center, the
kAI1leIlCdLS Lie iISHI CcItCA oAAA eAAS
Japanese the extreme right. The
British and Americans advanced on
the village at rapid rate for 5000
yards, under severe shell and rife
fire. The Russians opened, and the
British American advance became a
rush for positions. eliminating in a
brilliant charge. The heaviest loss OF
the day was sustained by the Ameri-
S,ofo otr1y a
9 killed, 60 wounded and 2 missing.
The Bengal Lancers unsuccessfully at
tempted to cut off the Chinese retreat.
Sad Mistake Made.
Another Yang Tsun special says:
owing to a mistake, British and Rus
sian guns shelled the Fourteenth
United States infantry during the
night, wounding ten."
Commenting upon this occurrence,
the Standard says: ut is melancholy
to learn that the losses of the Amer1-
cans, who seem to have borne them
selves with conspicuous gallantry. were
increased by a deplorable occurrence,
in consequence Of which one of their
regiments was surrounded by Russian
and British cannon The incident en-
phasizes the necessity of that close CO.
operation which is not easily obtain
able without single commander and a
general staff"
We Bent the World.
Once again the press Of Europe re-
marks upon the ability of the Ameri-
can government to secure news ahead
Of the rest of the world. 1T is to Gen.
Chaffee," says the Daily News, that
we are again indebted for news from
the front. Not a single dispatch from
Sir Alfred Gasalee has thus far been
issued by the war Office"
Commenting upon the American re-
ply to the Chinese overtures, the Daily
News says: THE reply is more con-
ciliatory than that Of NJ. Delcasse. and
in some respects it is a little ambigu-
Gus. Still it's substance is the same.
It may be observed that the United
States government does not sem TO
separate itself from the allies"
