Islands, has not been notified to the
State Department as yet except

seriously prejudice any attempt the

10 the acquisition of the islands.
1t is not admitted tina. the matter
has progressed to the polrI that n do
termination has been reached to adont
the project, for such an admission
might lead to disagrceable INQUIRIES
arom other nations. but there is rca-
son TO believe that the administration
mas given much Thought to the advisa-

ment, If he correctly represents him

toLift stamp Tax Burden.

Washington, April 1s.-The ways and
means committee gave a hearing yes
terday on the question of reducing the
revenues derived from proprietary
medicines, etc, under the war revenue
act of 1888 Those heard represented;
the drug interests. who asked the re-
peal of schedule B Of the war revenue
act, requiring a stamp tax upon pros
prietary articles and preparations per-
fumery. cosmetics, etc.
George P. Engelhard. OF Chicago
president of the drug association of
of the revenue bureau the act was not
restricted to patent medicines, as origi-
nally designed. but to all medicines
save those issued under a physicians
certificate.
Mr.. Grosvenor said he was surprised
to learn that such common drugs as ar
MICA and paregoric We're taxed as pat
ient medicines" that 1t had never been
the intention of the trainers OF the law
to have it SO construed. and that 1t
should be resisted In the courts.
Representative Boutelle. OF Illinois,
said that the enormous sums raised un-
der the act were surprise to its franz
ers, as they much exceeded the esti-
mates. He said that the surplus im-
posed duty on the present congress to
reduce the tax burden at the earliest
moment. The reduction should be
made at the points OF greatest friction,
and schedule r he regarded as one OF
the first articles OF repeal. Mr.. Bout
elle's statement was enthusiastically
applauded. ;.
