The commissioner of internal revenue has made the following ruling on the reve- nue act, which has been approved by the Department of Justice: “That papers and instruments executed, made or issued by officers of the govern- ment of the United States in the discharge’ of official functions pertaining to the oper- ation of the governmental machinery and for the use or benefit of the United States are exempt from tax. In Hne with this ruling it is held that all checks and drafts made and issued by the disbursing officers of the United States upon government funds on deposit, in payment of govern- ment obligations or dues, are exempt, and all certificates of officers of the United States given in the discharge of official functions necessary in carrying on the ma- chinery of the government are also ex- empt. The same principle would extend to instruments and papers of whatever char- acter (otherwise subject to tax) executed, made or issued by officers of the Unit States government for governmental pur- poses. Where, however, certificates or other instruments are issued by gny de- partment or officer of the government at the request. of private persons solely for private use, a stamp should be affixed.” Attorney General Griggs haz .made an exhaustive examination of the revenue act as it applies fo Names on checks and drafts, and a detiston! has been reached that American checks -on London or other foreign ‘banks are! notrin a legal sense drafts, and therefore subject to a tax of only 2 cents, whatever their face value. An opinion is being drawn up to this ef- fect, and will be madg public in a few days. It is expected tq cut off Canadian banks from the remunerative business they have been doing t¢ thej exclusion of finan- cial institutions in this ‘country. ote Graham's Stqtemgnt Exploded.

Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. BOYD'S, Ma., July 20, 1898. One of the most severe and destructive rain and wind storms ever witnessed by ‘the people of this town passed over Boyd's and surrounding country this morning about 1:20 o'clock. Trees were blown down as if they were sticks. Considerable dam- age was_done to the growing corn. Fences were laid low and county roads blocked. The telegraph and telephone service suf- fered severely, the telephone line at some points being almcst completely demolished. An immense cloud passed over this town, sending rain in torrents and accompanied by wind at an eighty-mile gait or more, blowing down several large trees upon tho house of Telegraph Operator Williams, do- ing little damage, but badly scaring his family, who were sleeping in a room under the point where the trees struck. A box car, partly loaded with freight and with brakes set very tight, was blown down the side track over one hundred yards and ran off the rails. Rain was driven in the store of M. F. Lewis and flooded part of his stock of goods, though not much damage was done. The drought has been broken, but farmers no doubt will suffer consider- ably by the storm. It did not abate in its fury for twenty minutes or more. Ss Postal Service at Santiago. The Postmaster General will issue an order tomorrow morning. establishing a postal service with Santiago.

The play is under the management of the efficient music teachers of the Fau quier Institute. Mr. Walter Brodie of the Baltimore base ball club was in Warrenton for a few days’ visit to his family.

Topics Discussed by Speakers at Washington Grove Meeting. Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. WASHINGTON GROVE, Md., July 19, 1898. The white ribboners met in devotional service at an early hour this morning, un- der the charge of Mrs. S. C. Thomas, who selected Psalm 146 for the morniag lesson. Responsive remarks were made by many upon the special thought that “The Lord openeth the eyes of the blind.” Mrs. Ella A. Boole was the principal speaker at the meeting for Bible study, the scriptural selection being the 9st Psalm, and the attention of her hearers was called to the necessity of their appli- cation of the words of David in the daily walk and talk of the W. C. T. U. mem- bership. “Peace and Arbitration” was the topic for the meeting of the afternoon, and pa- pers were read by Lindly Park of Wash- ington, D. C., and Mrs. E. L. Tatum of Montgomery county. The suggestion of the program was not accepted by the speakers to mean any antagonism to the government in the relations now existing betweeh the United States and Spain, but as an abstract proposition the objection to a nation’s war and strife may be firmly based on scriptural grounds. Under the direction of Prof. Walker and assisted by Prof. Watkins with his cornet, the audi- enee sang “America.” At the evening session Mrs. M. B. Platt presided, and Rev. Page Milburn made the opening prayer. Miss Ella Laurenson sang “The Best Friend We Have is Jesus,”, Miss May Smith accompanying. The Revs. Germaine and Harris were present. “The Drink Traffic, or the Arch Deceiver,” was the subject Mrs. Boole had under consid- eration. From the national legalizing of that traffic to the mistakes of the social world she covered the ground and plainly are the aay! ed church members to take aggressive action against such a dangerous commodity. ouneed ednesday evening upon the life and character of Frances B.

Adjutant Otto L. Suess is Instru Grigaby'’s Cowboys Saber Pri tice—The Brigade Review. CHICKAMAUGA-CHATTANOOGA WNA- TIONAL MILITARY PARK, Tenn.. July 19.—Major General Brooke will «return tc his headquarters at Camp Thomas tomor- row morning, and then the question of what regiments will go to Porto Rico and when they will go will be definitely set- tled. This question has been the one of main interest in the big army camp since the departure of General Brooke for Washing- ton several days ago, and there has been speculation and discussion among both of* ficers and men. It is generally believed that the regiments composing the 1st and 24 Divisions of the Ist Corps will be the ones to go, but this belief is based on nothing official given out here. As far as can be jearned only two divisions will be taken, - The indications here are that the move- ment will begin about the last of the pres- ent or the first of next week. The railroads acting upon notice given them, have trains in readiness and can do their part with- out delay. Major Nye, commissary of subsistence of | the Chattanooga military supply depot, i receiving large quantities of rations daily, which would seem to indicate that a still larger force of soldiers will be sent tc Chickamauga.

This practice will be « ued every day, Adjutant Suess tnstru the officers and they in turn instructing their men. Adjutant Suess ts an exp: ed swordsman, probably one of the in the country. The carbine scabbard: for the regiment have been received at the camp, and the regiment is now fully equipped, with the exception of a few minor supplies.
