Washington, June 24. —The following cir culai ot instructions to collectors of inter nal revenue purchasers of printed stamps and stamp agents has been issued by the commissioner of internal revenue: Persons desiring to have stamps imprint ed upon checks, drafts, orders and papers, will make application therefor to the col lector of their district transmitting or pre senting with such application payment for the stamps. The application must state the name and address of the contractor, who will print the stanips, and should authorize the de livery of the stamped papers to the said contractor and the acceptance of his re ceipt therefor on behalf of the owner. On receipt of such applications and payments of the stamps the collector will forward to the stamp agent at the establishment of the contractor designated, an order for'the imprinting of the stamps and the delivery of the stamped paper to the contractor for shipment to owner, taking the contractor's receipt for the same. To enable collectors to draw orders upon the stamp agent at the establishment of any contractor, a list of the contractors in various cities and the name of the stamp agent at each es tablishment will be furnished to collectors. The collector will debit himself with the stamps ordered printed and credit himself with them as sold, including the amount received in his deposits on acount of sales of documentary stamps. The sales of im printed stamps must, however, be shown separately on the colector’s monthly report of documentary and proprietary stamps. At each of the establishments where stamps are authorized to be printed upon drafts, orders and papers, an authorized agent of the government will be stationed who will receive from collectors of inter nal revenue orders for the imprinting and’ delivery of imprinted stamps. The agent should carefully read the contractor's con- tract with this office, so that he ascertain all the provisions thereof and see that they are fully complied with. He will also have ; authority to take such other precaution ' ary measures as may be necessary to pro tect the nterests of the government in the printing and safe keeping i* imprinted ’ sfampe.

She Went Up to Required Speed of Twenty five Knots. Seattle, Wash., June 24 —The torpedo boat Rowan has been given a preliminary { trial trip.

The official trial will probably be held next week. .An eighty mile course is to be laid out from Tacoma up the sound. REPRESENTATIVE OF THE BEAR Formally Presented to the President—How It Was Done.

An honor in that I represent my great sovereign near the great Ameri can people, a gratification in that I can be i the authorized and confident interpreter of the sentiment of high esteem and unal terable friendship which for so many years have united our two governments and our two nations without the least 61oud ever having arisen to disturb relations based alike upon a large and far-seeing political wisdom and upon an unquestionable sym pathy. I venture to hope, Mr.. President, that I will receive, as well from your ex cellency as one, or the part of the govern ment of the United State*., the sentiments of sympathy to which I attach the high est value and which will permit me to acquit myself to our mutual satisfaction in the mission which my sovereign deigned I to confer upon me.” j President McKinley made the following i response: “Mr. Ambassador, 1 have taken great , pleasure in listening to your address and in receiving from your hands the letter by which His August Majesty, the Emperor of Russia, has accredited you, as his ambas t sador extraordinary and plenipotentiary to this government, and I extend to you a ' welcome to its capital. i “You agreeably recall to me. and through i me to the people of the United States, the j cordial esteem and unbroken ’ friendship i which have ever subsisted between Russia and the United States. “It is my heartfelt wish that the fime , honored associations to which you have ; referred, resting as it does on such firm i fundations, will steadfastly endure. and . that the great nation which you represent i shall ever enjoy’ the blessings of peace, prosperity and continued adv . emeu t. I “In welcoming you I cannot forbear to j congratulate you upon being the first cho sen ambassador of His Majesty’ the Czar to this country, and to express the satisfac tion it gave me in reciprocating the action of your government to advance our repre sentative at your court to the rank of am- , bassador. I “I trust that your sojourn in this capital may be in all respects agreeable to your self, as it is certain to be to this govern ment and to those of its citizens who may ; share the pleasure of your acquaintance , and friendship. “May I ask you to convey to His Ma- I jesty the Emperor, whose commission you bear, the good wishes of the president of the American people for his happiness and the welfare of his empire.” I TOOK A POT SHOT | At His Sweetheart from the!
