Bnt Three That Can Give the Treasury
Omcers Any Concern.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 23.-The legis-
lative and engrossing clerks of the
senate have been comparing the state
ment Of errors in the new tariff bill
made in various papers and say there
are only three or four errors that
need to give officers of the treasury
any concern. These are the
paragraphs relating to free adj
mission of alcohol in the arts;
the diamond schedule and perhaps
the omission of period in the para
graph relating to stamping foreign
manufacture. Even in the case of
diamonds they believe the cOnstruc-
ton placed viii be that intended by
congress and they will pay the duty
imposed on precious stones. As to
the other errors enumerated. it is
claimed by these clerks that by no
system of construction can the al
legged mistakes in punctuation be
made to either impose higher duties
or allow the free admission Of articles
named Members of the finance com
mittee are of the same opinion

A Ga1esbur< Catholic Priest Makes a Big
Fight on SalOOn-Keepers.
GALEsBURe, ILL.,, Aug 23.-Father Jo-
seph COSTA is leading a bitter war on
Cathotic saloon keepers and bartenders
here who violate the law. OF late there
has been open violation of the law
against the sale of intOxicants on Sun
day, and reports of this had reached the
priest. He said that 6atOllTs letter had
nothing to do with his criticisms.
The priest became much excited in
his sermon on Sunday and he told the
saloon keepers that their actions we're
disgrace and a scandal to the Catholic
church and a violation OF its principles.
He charged them with decoyIng young
men into their saloons on Sunday. He
fatty told them that they should either
quit violating the law or leave the
church, and that he would no longer ad-
minister the sacrament to them unless
they obeyed the ordinances. The priest
has also taken steps to organize a tenn
perance society and secure an address
by the Rev. J. N. Cleary, president of
the American Total Abstinence union.

Internal Revenue Receipts Are
Now Unusually Large.
They Are Expected to Reach
@15,OOO,OOO by Saturday.
WILL THEN FALL OFF.
DistilIers Getting Ready for the
New Tariff Bill.

WASHINGTON, Aug. %. 49, Receipts
from internal revenue sources con-
tinue to be abnormally large with
every prospect Of continuing SO until
the new tariff bill goes into effect.
During the last seven working days
from August IS, the receipts have
reached the unprecedented sum Of
e11, 600, 122. and il Is confidently ex-
pected that by next Saturday night
at midnight, when the new act will
become operative, the aggregate re-
ceipts for the pre- ceding ten days will
have reached SIS, 600, 900.
These large receipts under the cir
cumstances are deprecated by the
treasury officials, who liken the situa-
ton to that of the poor man paying 10
per cent per month on money
upon which to live. The rea-
son for this is that the aid coming to
the treasury this way is only tempo
rary at best, and will add to the
deficit later on, for on every gal
lon OF whisky now being with
drawn the government, sooner
or later, is bound to lose 20 cents
As soon as the tariff bill goes
into operation the receipts from this
source are expected 70 drop down to a
merely nominal amount and SO con-
tinue some months, until the great
supply now being laid in is exhausted

the gold reserve is slowly increasing
until it has now reached about $54,-
600, OOO This increase is due almost
entirely to the Western demand for
small notes with which to harvest the
crops.
Under the terms Of the special cir
cular issued BY the United States
treasury in June last, small notes are
exchanged only for gold and very
substantial sums are now being
ceiyed daily from this source. The
demand for small notes has not yet
set in from the South, but the move

pected to bring in considerable sums

There VIM he Twelve when che New
Ones Are In Operation.
Two more cables are being laid
across the Atlantic. There are at
present ten cables connecting the old
with the new world, but SO rapidly
has the cable business grown that
they are Inadequate to handle it all.
The new cables were made BY
Siemens Bros. & Co., whose factory
at WOolwich, England, has been
working night and day to complete
the order.
The cable is being laid by the Fara-
day. When the shore end is all paid
out it will be buoyed, and the Fara-
day, coming back some weeks or a
month later, viii look around for the
buoy in order to pick up the cable
again.
Thus. passengers across the At
lantic may see a buoy away outin the
ocean, but mariners will be warned
to let it alone, as it marks the end Of
one of the sections of the new cable
The Faraday can lay the deep sea
portion Of the cable at the rate Of.
seven nautical miles per hour, pro-
ceeding under almost full head Of
steam. The caole is simply paid out
from the stern like a rope. Occasion

and pay out a lot OF cable before pro-
ceeding. This is done where she
comes to a cliff or sudden fall in the
bottom OF the ocean, which is not
level, as some people imagine, but
has all the typographical features Of
dry land.
The Faraday is provided with maps
Of the bottom or the ocean as ac-
curate as If made by submarine sur
veyors- At all points it is sought to
have the cable actually resting on
the bottom and not stretching from
hill to hill. While the Faraday is
