SURPRISE AT G0LDFIELD.
Belief Exists That Troops Will Not

able excitement was caused here today
by the report that the president has
formally notified Governor Sparks that
the troops will be withdrawn in few
days. and has censured the governor
for calling upon the federal govern
ment for aid. in view of the fact that
no serious trouble existed in this dis

provide other means for the protection

CHANGE ORDERED
BY BONAP ARTE
Attorney General Renders an
Opinion on the Branding OF
Whisky, Alcohol, Etc.
PRESENT SYSTEM ILLEGAL
MISTAKE OF INTERNAL REEVE
NUE. BUREAU.

Washington. Jan. 13.-For several
weeks the National Wholesale Liquor
Dealers association has been making
capital out Of the fact that the regula-
lions of the internal revenue bureau
of the treasury department, respecting
the branding of whisky and the opin-
ION rendered by Attorney General
Bonaparte. under the pure food and
drug act, were in conflict.
The whisky dealers association
pointed to the fact that the internal
revenue bureau, through its Saugers,
was branding distillates as WHISTLES
runs or gins, irrespective of the attor-
ney generals opinion given to the
agricultural department that such dis
tillates should be marked high wines,
alcohol or spirits
5onaparte's Opinion.
In response to "a request from the
secretary of the treasury for an Opin-
ion. the attorney general has forward
ed to Secretary COrJelyOu an opinion
bearing on the marking and branding
Of casks or packages containing dis
titled spirits by gaugers- In this he
holds that, while the law requiring
Sutn marking OF branding Is not re-
pealed by the pure food law. sO-calied,
the present regulations of the commits
sioner of the internal revenue are not
justified by the terms Of section 32SI
Of the revised statutes and distilled
spirits, when they are Withdrawn from
the receiving cistern at the distilleTy
must be marked high wines when
the distillate drawn contains all the
substances cOngeneric with alcohol.
Regulations Unlawful.
They must be marked alcohol
when the distillate is one from which
all such conSeneric substances have
been removed. They must be marked
rum" whisky" brandy" or gin, "
or with some particular name of a
potable spirit as the case may be
when such congeneTic substances are
partially transformed or their proper
ties otherwise eliminated. so as to con-
vert distillate into q potable spirit, and
must receive no other descriptive
mark whatever.
The attorney general advises the
secretary Of the treasury that the Dor
ton of the regulations of the commits
sioner of internal revenue connected
with the branding of distilled spirits
Is contrary to law and must be modi-
fled in accordance with the terms OF
the construction given to the law by
the attorney general.
