Mr. Cv J. Falk, Secretary. Honolulu
- Stock Exchange. Honolulu. H. T.:
reply to your request for
rnHng on the affixing of stamps for
tmnfars of stock. I beg leave to sub-
mU'lhe following ruling made by the
Comndsaioser of Internal Revenue:
1. VT?en stock la transferred for
wbicfa no certificate has bean issued.
MOi the evidence of transfer is shown
only by the books of the campaar. the
stamps should he placed upon such
books.
2. "Where the change of ownership
la by the transfer of a certlficato. and
the certlflcate contains a blank form of
assignment on tb? back, which is tilled
& by the Insertion of the name of the
rsoa to whom the stock is transferred,
the sump should be placed upon
the Asrtlfleate.
i Jn case of an agreomont to soil,
or whera the transfer Is, by the
of 'tiro certificate, signed in blank,
tho name of the transferee, or vendee
to bo filled in afterwards, there should
bo niado and delivered by tho sellor to
tho buyor a bill or memorandum of
sale, to which tho stamp should be
affixed."
Tbo rulings given above follow exactly
the method of affixing stamps
proscribed by the AVar Revenue Act
THE 1900

The third ccthod of transferring stock
referred to above is the one in com
mon csa "Whenever stock endorsed la
blank is passed Irani .one colder to another,
the law absolutely reqnires that
the stamps should be affixed to a memorandum
of sale. It is not' fegal. In
such case, to affix the stamps either to
the certiScate which passes, or to the
certificate issued in lien thereof by the
secretary of the company. Congress
undoubtedly possessed the power to
prescribe the method of paying- the
tax. as well as the amount to be paid,
and stamps most be afflxed in the exat
manner prescribed by law.
On transfers of stock, the seller cr
his. agent should affix and cancel the
nece&sary stamps. The seller, the buyer,
and their brokers or agents are all
liable to fine and imprisonment if the
stamps are not affixed.
When certificates which have been
transferred are presented to the company
for cancellation, and the owner
or broker assures the company that
the transfer tax has been paid, the
company issues new certificates In lieu
of the old certificates without stamps.
The Commissioner of Internal Revenue
roles on uiB point as follows:
"Upon saies of certificates of stock of
a company made by a broker, where tha
transfer is by delivery of the certificate
assigned In blank, the broker is
required to affix the requisite stamps
to his memorandum of such sale; and
upon his assurance that this has been
done, there is no responsibility upon
the company in the issuance of certificates
in new names in lieu of old certificates
canceled. If It is found thereafter
that the brokers have failed to
comply with the requirements of the
law, with reference to the stamping of
their memorandums of sale, the criminal
liability is upon them,"
Respectfully yours.

LONDON Jane IT. The extreme
gravity of the Chines crisis in the
eyes of the British GoTemrnect is
shown by the decision to detach a
division tlOJC men of infantry, three
batteries of artillery sad a siece train
from the Natal (fair Bed vers Batter's)
forces for immediate dispatch to China.
There are enough transports ready
at Durban to convey these troops away
as soon as they can be got aboard.
The principal part of the division is
at rietennaritzburg now.
There is no prospect of allevation of
the Chinese situation, which undoubtedly
Is causing the keenest alarm
ia political and commercial quarters
here. The fate of the international
force is regarded as a matter of secondary
importance. The crucial period
will be after the disturbance has been
suppressed, and the future government
for China comes up for settlement- It
is in view of that contingency that
England is accumulating military and
naval forces In the Far- East.

"I had a severe attack of bilious colic,
got a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic,
Cholera and Diarrhoea. Remedy, took
two doses and was entirely cured," says
Rev. A. A. Power, of Emporia, Kan.
"My neighbor across the street was
sick for over a week,- had two or three
bottles of medicine from the doctor.
He used them for three or four days
without relief, then called in another
doctor who treated him for some days
and gave him no relief, so discharged
him. 1 went over to see mm the next
morning. He said his bowels were in
a terrible fix. that they had oeen running
off so :ong that it was almost
bloody flux. I asked him if he had tried
Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera-and
Remedy and he said, 'No.' I went
home and brought him my bottle and
gave him one dose; told him to takf
another dose in fifteen or twenty minutes
if he did not find relief, but he
took no more and was entirely cured.
I think it the best medicine I have ever
tried." For sale by all dealers and druggists.
