press Companies.
Washington, April 16.-The supreme
court has decided the cases involving
the stamp tax as it applies to express
packages, the question involved being

were two cases before the court involv.

opinion was based upon the case Of
the American Express company VS..
Attorney General Maynard of the state
of Michigan. The case came to the
supreme court from the decision Of
the state supreme court of Michigan,
which decision was adverse TO the
claims of the express companies.

They ignored the Chinese altogeth-

its territory to be divided up by
