Bull Butter Men Kicking.
WASHINGTON, September 18th Some
manufacturers of oleomargarine have pro-
tested to the Treasury Department against
the construction placed by the Internal
Revenue Bureau on the second section of
the Act regulating the manufacture Of that
compound. The law imposes on "oleo oil.
neutral and other articles of like nature, "
tax of the same amount as is imposed on
oleomargarine. Il appears that there are d
number of firms engaged in the manufact-
IRE OF oleomargarine, whose business is to
purchase and combine various ingredients
into a marketable article, and if component
articles are subject 10 tax, as has been
held by the Revenue Bureau, the result
will be to compel these manufacturers to
pay double tax, as they are also required
by Law TO place stamps on the finished ar
ticles when compounded. Il is also stated
that certain firms are making large quant-
ties OF what is known as cleo oil, " which
is sold and used solely as q lubricant for
machinery. If the strict construction al
ready given to the law by the department
Is adhered to, this material will also be
subjected to the tax imposed on oleomar-
garine. The matter is now under consider
alton by the Internal Revenue Bureau, and
II is believed that when Commissioner
been placed on the second section Of the
Act viii be modified.
Sensational Reports Concerning the Hop
Business.
New YORK, September 17th.-The Stars
Albany special says: In 0tsego, where the
hop yield last year was 10000 bales, it will
be but 1000 now, and of this number less
than LOCO will be choice. which sells at 20
cents. The best of 1885 fetch 30 cents.
Farmers who have 1885 hops are still Sc
rene, as they expect pretty stiff figures by
January next, hence the sales are slow.
Good judges say the choice hops of this
crop will not exceed 5000 bales. Worse
than this dubious outlook is ia story that
the crop of 1887 will be even less than that
of this season. The injury now comes from
blight to the foliage by insects, but small
root worm has just been found in Verona.
Oneida county, which is apt to cause more
ruin to next seasons yield than is now
thought of, for if the roots are in decay,
new settings will be inevitable before an
other crop can be grown. Prices are apt to
90 much higher here than ever before il
the present reports from England and Ger
many of failure there are true. England,
it is said, will not produce so per cent. OF
her usual hops.

Raiding American Sealing Grounds.
WASHINGTON. September 17th.-Special
Agent Jingle, of the Treasury Department,
has returned to this city from the seal
islands of Alaska He left Alaska shortly
after the seizures of foreign sealers had
10 hsrC f.st A =, IL
of the British vessel Onward, Tingle saws
the master of the vessel admitted having
killed his catch of seals along the shores OF
the seal islands. These predatory sealers,
he says, make a practice OF stealing
ashore under cover of fogs and clubbing
seals. which are then tossed into boats and
conveyed on board the ship to be skinned.
Large numbers of seals are also shot in the
sea, and this practice is particularly de-
structive, from the fact that three out OF
every four animals shot sink and cannot be
recovered. Notwithstanding these losses,
the agent says seal life is increasing with
great rapidity. The agent was not inclined
TO discuss the legality of the seizures al
ready made, but stated that a law officer
had been sent from San Francisco to assist
in prosecuting the cases before the Sitka
Court.

The Anti-Saloon Move.
New YORK, September 17th.-Important
political consequences will no doubt follow
the action of the National Anti-Saloon Re-
publican Conference at Chicago. Party
papers either wholly ignore it or go round
about IL, rs if treading on nettles. The
omission of the usual State Convention by
the New York Republicans this autumn
will enable them to avoid any expression of
opinion on the subject in the party plat
form at large, but they will have to face
the music later on in the City. County and
Assembly Conventions. 1t is not certain
whether the Democrats will decide to have
