The most important testimony given by
Mr.. Macy was with reference to a con-
versation between Commodore Schley and
himself on the bridge of the Brooklyn on
the evening OF May 80. 1895 the day before
the firing on the Colon by the Massachu-
sets. Iowa. and New Orleans took place
There has been a great deal Of testimony
concerning statements of Commodore
Schley before the affair that he was going
in to pot the Colon" and try to sink her
or destroy her. Witnesses have testified
that the ships did not go into 1909 yards
the range which Commodore Schlsy gave
in his official report. The highest range
given by witnesses is 1000 yards, or six
and one-quarter statute miles. In his offi-
cial report Admiral Schley called this af-
fair a reconnaissance 10 develop the Span
ish batteries Mr.. Macy's testimony was
important I'm corroborating Admiral
Schley's statement that he had made
merely reconnaissance and not an at

commodore said: Tomorrow we are GO

location of the batteries and to form an
estimate of their strength" He said he
was not going in for a regular lombard
rient, as he had instructions from the
Department not TO hazard his ships
against the batteries. and that If he
should disable one of his ships during the
bombardment his force would then be
rendered inferior 10 the Spanish forces

as the summons OF the count was heard
at the opposite entrance.
1t required some hours Of retirement
and silence in the solitude of her own
chamber to restore to Rose anything like
her usual tranquility. The excitement Of
the last four-and-twenty hours had their
effect on her, and every nerve was thrill
ing TO the tension produced by it. Quiet
was impossible; so she fas ened her door.
and walked the floor to work off in some
degree the restless agitation she felt.
When she had succeeded in wearying
herself with the exercise she sat down.
and leaning back among the cushions,
laughingly and resolutely shut her eyes,
with the determination 10 sleep. This
was difficult matter, however. Her
mind was not quite composed yet. Rose,
after she had bathed her face, had her
hair re-arranged and made some altera-
tons in her dress and descended to the
saloon.
Louis was gone to the village. The
marquis and his friend, Count Frederic,
walking together on the terraEe, were en-
gagged in conversation. TIE Countess
Marie, in one corner, read quietly from
a favorite book. Helen Montauban
worked at her embroidery and
wore a brighter and better pleased ex-
preston than in the morning: for Fran
els Egerton was away. She beekoned
Rose Immediately to her side.
"Truanti where have you been| she
said, smilingly. as she made the young
girl sit by her and stroked her bright
hair.
"In my chamber. Helen" answered
Rose. laying her pretty head against the
shoulder of her companion, with happy
and loving confidence.
"A Ienancr of solitude and reflection,
my fair sister? What sin have you COM
mitted?"
mo sin-no penance was mine. was
restless. | went TO become calm and
quiet"
"And succeeded, | think. But what
ails you, Rose? What is in your eyes
your face? Some reflex from underlying
emotiOns-glad emotions. You have had
good newsT
"No-yesi All. do not ask meat least,
not now" laughed the young girl Come
to my chamber to-Dight-will you, Helen?
or. | will come to yours; it does not mat
ter which; and then | will tell you what
l cannot-dare not tell you now. here, in
this broad daylight, with eyes and ears
all about US. Yes-ah, yes, Helen, / am
glad" She laid her face ON Helens
breast and ciasped her arms about her.
A strange expression fitted for mo-
ment over the countenance of Mademoi-
selle Montauban. 1t filed her dark eyes
with a glance of quick and searching
meaning. as they rested fxedly on Rose.
But 1t was only for an instant; for Rose
lifted her head again, and those sweep
ing. jetty eyelashes yelled every CLEAN Of
the awakened spirit.

Thomas Schureman, who lives on
Holly avenue, in West indianapolis, a
few weeks ago, made bad loan, and,
in lieu of the money, he was over
whelmed with the borrower gratitude
and magic lanterN. The gratitude,
thought Schureman, was without prac-
teal value. but the magic lantern
might be pressed into service. The ma
chine was set up and number of pri-

invited a man who was engaged to

time, but the girl took her chair az the
hour set. The seat at her side was re-
served for the young man.
Half the performance was over when
Schureman's assistant at the door was
interrupted in his observation of the
pictures by the appearance of the be-
lated young man. where's Miss

NEW STAMP TAX LAW.
Important Changes and Notifications Taking
Effect the First of July.
~~@~1U~~D@~@4@~@~~ @~~~@~4@~@@@~~~

The stamp tax. TO which business has
been subjected for more than two years.
will be greatly modified By the new reve-
nue. law. After July l no stamps will
be required Oh telegraph or telephone
messages, bank checks, bonds, certificates
of deposit, drafts, express receipts, life
insurance policies, leases. mortgages.
power of attorney, promissory notes,
money orders, protests, warebousz re-
ceipts. These are the articles the tax
! upon which has been directly borne by
the public.
Many notifications have been made in
the revenue bill which affect the manu-
facturers. The tax on beer, cigars, to-
bacco and cigarettes has been reduced.
The tax on theaters. billiard tables. pub
lie exhibitions, has been retained, but re-
duced.
1t is estimated that the government re-
ceipts viii be reduced from S4000o,0O0
to S500o0,000 annually by the revision Of
the revenue act.
Bank checks with 2-cent stamps inn
printed thereon are being received IN
large numbers for redemption at the in
ternal revenue bureau. On and after
July no stamps will be necessary and
the banks, which are loaded with stamp
ed checks. are endeayoring to get rid Of
the surplus stock. 1t looks as If there
would be deiuge of stamped checks
pouring in upon the revenue bureau, just
as there was in 1888, when rooms and
corridors were filed with the accumula-
tions, which came every day by express
and mail.
1t is yet undecided whether the owner
of stamped checks win receive them
again after he has turned them in for
redemption. In 1888 the stamped checks
Were punched for cancellation and then
given back to their original owners, SO
that they could be used
At the present time there seems to be
a misunderstanding between the auditor
of the treasury and the commissioner of
the internal revenue as to the course to
be pursued, the latter believing that the
auditor has decided that when stamped
check has been submitted rs a voucher
for claim it cannot be returned. This
does not coincide with the informal state
ment made by the auditor and it will
probably require an official order from
the Secretary Of the Treasury to finally
settle the matter.
The demand for the return of the
stamped checks is very emphatic, many
business associations having taken the
matter up in earnest. and insisting that
if the stamped checks are completely
destroyed commercial houses will suffer
great loss.
The internal revenue bureau is already
