--Boers Giving British Hard Blows

All effort TO penetrate the veil about
Pekin and learn the fate Of the foreign
ministers has been in vain. Absolutely
nothing is known as to whether they
are dead or alive, with the exception
OF the German minister, Won ketteler,
whose murder is confirmed. There
are plenty of rumors and even detailed
accounts ofthe final stand at the leoa-
tons, but while they may be true they
lack confirmation and other stories CON
tradict them. One report is that after
a long siege, being pressed by hunger,
the guards formed a square and, plac-
ing the women inside. they SORTED
forth, inficting terrible loss on the
Chinese, but seeing further attack use
less, they killed the women with their
own hands and died themselves. The
Chinese used artillery to break down
the legation walls. The ministers were
all slain. This was said TO have oc-
CURED July Z or s, but the Chinese
minister at Washington has a despatch
saying that the ministers We're all well
on the 9th, and being protected by the
government. 1t is not known whether
the empress dOwager still has any au-
thority, or whetheri it has been seized
by the Boxer party. Ii Hung Chang
mas started from Canton for Pekin by
imperial summons and says he will use
his efforts in behalf Of peace and TO
save the ministers. if yet alive. The
allies have had severe fighting at Tien
Tsin the past week. They were sub
jeeted to constant bombardment from
the Chinese forts and the native or
walled city and their position was pre-
carious. A column of Americans,
British, Russians, japanese and Ger
mans, about 900 strong, attacked the
city and a two days battle ensued,
The assailants met with a terrible fire,
losing 200 men, but on the second day
captured the city. Details are lacking.
Col. Liscum OF the Ninth L. :. Inf. was
killed. The japanese corps is on its
way TO reinforce the allies. About
1900 American troops will be rushed

INTERNAL REVENUE.
Commis siOner Wilson Says CcIlec-
tons of Past Fiscal Year Have
| Only Once Been Exceeded.

Washington, Nov 1.-THE annual report
of the commissioner of internal revenue
for the fiscal year ended June 80, 1900,
shows a collection exceeded but once in
the history of the bureau. The receipts
were 1926, 316 107, being $40, 316 107 in excess
of the estimated amount and $21 831, 534 more
than during the previous year. The per-
centage of cost of collection was 1.58, as
against 1.6S for last year, being the small
est in the history Of the internal revenue
service.
Commissioner Wilson estimates that the
receipts from all sources of internal rev.
enue for the current fiscal year will ap-
proximate 1926 900. OOO
The commissioner takes a new position
In accounting for the successful admins
tration of the law by giving those who
paid the taxes very large degree of credit
for the result. He says: Il deem it my
duty, in the interest of justice, to make a
new departure by saying that for the sue
cessful and economical manner iI which
the internal revenue laws have been ad-
mlniStered much credit is due the mil
lions of taxpayers throughout the coun-
| try for the generous, patriotic and prompt
manner in which the taxes have been
paid
| An important feature of the report con-
| slstS OF number Of amendments recon-
mended to be made to the war revenue
| act. The clause of the law which perhaps
| has given more trouble in it's admnistra-
| ton than any other is that which requires
a tax of ten cents on certificate of any
description required by law not otherwise
| specified in the act" 1t is recommended
| that this paragraph be abolished. The
greater part Of such certificates, says the
report, are necessarily issued by federal,
state or municipal officers, and the inter-
nal revenue bureau has ruled that where
such certificates were issued in the eXer-
else of functions strictly belonging to a
state in its ordinary governmental or tax
ing capacity they were exempt from tax.
In number of states. however, the off,
GERS have maintained that all certificates
issued by them were exempt because re-
CURED by state laws, and have declined to
affix stamps.
Receipts given for withdrawing deposits
from banks other than savings banks, says
the report, should be taxed. Receipts do
not require stamp under the law, and
1t was found impossible to rule that when
a depoS1tor went to a bank personally and
withdrew his deposit, or portion of it,
by rendering a receipt for the same, that
such receipt was any more taxable than
any other receipt. AS a result, the use
of receipts in lieu of bank checks in this
manner is constantly increasing. "Of
course, says the report, this is eva
sion of the tax, but to evade the tax in
lawful manner cannot be prevented
A number of other amendments looking
to the administration of the law in re-
gard to distilleries, tobacco manufacturers,
etc, are included in the report.
