CHANNEL FERRY.
To Connect England and France Il
Again Being Considered.

London. Dec. G.-The project of a
channel ferry between England and
France, on which TO transfer the
continental trains, passengers and
goods from shore to shore, has again
been brought up.
The proposals include the building
of suitable quays for the reception
of railway coaches and wagons and
the berthing of ferry steamers. When
the train has been shipped on board
the steamer. the passengers will find
themselves to all intents and purpos-
es In we'll arranged stations. They
will be able to alight on a wide plat
form and walk under cover to a
waiting room. refreshment room,
smoking room or private cabin.
Under the new project eight trains
witt be run In the "a hovrs. and IL Is
expected that two express train ferry
steamers, each costing $650,o0O,will
be able to deal with the trafiic In the
early stages Of the scheme.

FOR DRUGGISTS
The Tax On Patent Medicines
Effective April LIST.
This is 10 Give Them Time In Which
to Get Rid of the Stock on
Hand.
MANUFACTURERS GET 1 MONTH

Notification has been received that
the date VIII oh had been set as the
time when tina ruling of the treasury
department., relative to the tax on
alcoholic compounds labeled as med
icines and presented to the public
as Remedies of diseases, should be-
come effective had been extended
for one month regarding the manu-
facturer and for four months regard
ing the druggists and othrr FETAL,
dealers. The ruling IN question was
promulgated September IL last, and
provided for the taxation of manu-
facturers of such compounds aslver-
tised as medicines. but which ar
composed chiefly of distilled spiri!
or mixtures thereof, under the pro-
visions made for rect fiers and liquor
dealers. Druggists and oth,r retail
dealers OF such compounds who do
not hold special tax stamps as liquor
dealers are also Liable to the special
tax. The original date set was last
Friday.
In Circular No. 673. sent ont from
th,s Office of John w. Yerkes. COM
missioner of internal revenue. at
Washington under the date of Sep
tember IL. it was o. dsred that Sin
order that no injustice may be done
TO these druggists and merchants
who. without holding special tax
stamps as liquor dealers, now have
IN stock these compounds for sala as
medicines, this circular will not be
put into effect until December !.
1905.
The notification that the ruling
with regard to the manufacturers
had ben temporarily held up and
would not go into effect until JAM
uary 1. 1905. and with regard to the
retailer mot until April /, 1906, was
not accompanied with any detailed
explanation as to the cause for such
action. 1t is thought, however, TO
have b-en taken upon the represen-
tations of retailers and manufac-
tuners that the time that had been
allowed them was not sufficient TO
enable them to observe the provis-
ions of the law without loss.
