SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 2l.-The battle
ship Oregon was out again to-day for a
run on the bay. Several gentlemen in
teresIed in her have timed her from point
to point in the bay every day she has been
out, and they say she is developing more
speed every day. 1t is the impression of
steam boatmen that she will earn hand
some premium for her builders on her

Dynamite cruiser vesuvIus.

WASHINGTON, Aug. N.-The construc-
ton bureau of the navy has prepared
plans for the transformation of the dyna-
mite cruiser Vesuvius into torpedo
boat, and the result of the change Will be
to make the Vesuvius "a pretty craft. By
the removal of the eumberous dynamite
guns the constructors will be able to use
100 tons of available displacement for the
accommodation of a superstructure rum
ming half the length OF the vessel for
ward. This will afford comfortable quar-
sci a much better sea boat in rough water.
Five torpedo tubes will be put in--two
on the bow, one astern and two amid

THE NEW TARIFF BILL.

Additional Errors in Punctuation Con-
stantly Being Discovered.
WASHINGTON, Aug. q. - Additional
errors in punctuation in the new tariff
bill are constantly heing discovered by
the Treasury officials. To-day an i'm
portant mistake was found in Section 5 of
the tree list. Tits section provides that
articles of foreign manufacture must be
stamped with the name of the origin. and
then says: And until so marked,
stamped, branded, labeled they shall not
be delivered to the importer, should any
article of importer merchandise be
marked. stamped, ETC., in excess of the
annuity exactly contained in such arti-
cle."
1t is assumed that there should have
been a period established between the
words Importer and Should" but as
there Is none, the paragraph as it stands
is unintelligible, and may lead to serious
em mbarrassments in it's execution.
Up TO this time Mr.. Carlisle has not
asked any opinion of the Attorney-Ge
eral upon the many mistakes in the bill,
and he will probably not do so until after
the bill becomes law. The Secretary,
however, has expressed the opinion that
all goods now in bond which have been
changed from the datiable To the free list
will be subject to the duty in force until
imported. if Withdrawn tor consumption.
The goods can, however. be exported and
then reimported aud thus receive the
benefits of the free list This was not the
intention of Congress. Early in the
prepartion of the bill this question was
raised, but the words 'or Withdrawn for
consumption" which appear in the enact
ing clause were then changed to clearly
indicate that goods in bond could be
withdrawn at the new rates. But the
true significance of the words ''and men,
toned in the schedules herein con-
tained," which follow. do not seem to
have been fully understood.

Arrest of Minister in Mexico.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 21.-Some days
ago dispatches from Mexico announced
that Rev. II. r. Mosely, a Baptist minis
ter, had been imprisoned at Saltillo, Mex
leo, as the result of publishing PAM
phlet, entitled Three Centuries OF Ro-
manism in Mexico" As the Mexicans
who profess any faith are generally Cath
olics, this publication caused great excite
ment Ill the country, and it is probable
the reverend missionary was arrested by
the authorities TO preserve him from
harm quite as much as to punish him. AT
any rate, they made no objection when
United States Consul Donnelly requested
his release, and the Consul-General noti-
that he had escorted the minister safely

WASHINGTON, Aug. Ex-senator White,
the new member of the Finance Com
mittee. is not in favor of free silver and
lead ores. and as all the Republicans hold
the same opinion it has been decided that
the Senate need not take into considera-
ton the House free lead bill.
The sugar men have taken great deal
of comfort over the vote recently had on
the motion of Senator Manderson. in
structing the Senate Finance Committee
to report an amendment to the free sugar
bill establishing the Mckinley sugar
bounty.
1t was shown that majority of the
Senate was for the bounty. When the
Senate meets in December Mr.. Stewart
may not vote, which would leave the
Vice-President to decide against the
bounty on tie.
But it is thought by somewho advo-

free sugar bill or the amended bill can
be had there will be three more Repub-

There are vacancies from Montana
