livery of Express PACKAGES.

Austin. Texas, April 24.--superintenden
Case and Auditor Russ Of the Pacific Ex-
press company appeared before the rail-
road commission this morning and asked
that in view of recent decisions OF the
supreme court Of the United States to the
effect that shippers must furnish the rev.
enue stamps required TO be affixed tc
express bills Of lading in payment OF the
war taxes, the commission revoke an order
which they were under the impression Il
had made requiring express companies to
furnish such stamps. They were informed
that no such order had ever been issued
but that the commission had, when the
matter first came UP, taken the ground
that the requiring of shippers to furnish
revenue stamps would be sufficient ground
for reduction Of express rates and that
II was still of the same opinion.
