NEW REVENUE STAMPS.
Made Necessary by the German Tariff
Bill-AdditionaI Errors.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2O.-Commissioner
Miller, of the Internal Revenue Bureau,
in consideration of the changes which will
be made in the rate of internal revenue
taxes to be paid under the new act has
completed every arrangement for carrying
it into effect as soon as it becomes Law.
New designs for stamps for playing cards
have been approved and the work of print
ing and packing them will begin at once,
so that every revenue district in the coun-
try will be supplied as soon as the stamps
can be carried to them by the mails after
the bill becomes law. A new design for a
stamp to be used in rewarehousing spirits
in bonded warehouses will be ready for
issue, as will also the new stamp taxing
leaf tobacco sold by dealers direct to con-
sumers as manufactured tobacco. Circu-
lars of instruction in all cases have been
prepared and everything is in complete
readiness for the change.
The attention of the treasury officials
was called TO an error in the punctuation
of Section 10 of the free list which might
be construed to prohibit the importation
of all drugs and medicines. After a care
full reading of the original bill it was the
unanimous conclusion of the treasury eX
perts that such construction would be
forced and nOnsenical. The Secretary, it
was stated. would certainly rule out any
point that all drugs were excluded from
importation and II is believed the Supreme
A New York dispatch says: The Even

intention was to prevent the bringing in of
drugs medicine used in criminal prac-
tice. The new bill, in the revenue sec

said this evening that il will be exceedingly

tons under the provision at IL stands in

that IL will result in loss OF $l0000,000 in

the bill correcting the error may pass the
Senate Wednesday, although IL would have
TO be by unanimous consent. Senator's AL
drich and Allison Republican members Of

the bill should pass, and, under their ad-
vice. perhaps no objections would be made

Private advices from Alaska state that a

St Nicholas and the Yukon river. bring
ing reports of great suffering on the part
of the inhabitants of the Yukon valley.
During last winter the thermometer regis

A letter received here from the officers
or the Bering sea fleet states that the
recent visit to the seal islands by one of
the officers of the fleet disclosed the fact
that while there is considerable number
or bull seals on the islands, there are not
as many cows as last year, and it was
sscertained that the seals are rapidly
diminishing year by year. So certain are
the authorities on this point that they will
kill off p larger number of bull and
Dachelor seals this year than last. as II
is thought that the sealers will XIII so
many after August. that there will be few,

that the sealers will kill off a large num-

NO MORE BUSINESS.
Republican Senator's Say the Work of
Congress Is About Done.


WASHINGTON, Aug. 20.-The Repub-
licans say there will be no more business
of Importance transacted in the Senate
this session except, perhaps, the passing
of the bill correcting the alchohol schedule
The Republican leaders say this session is
over to all intents and purposes and they
include in this the making of speeches as
we'll as passing of bills To-day from the
first time the Senate met until it went into
executive session, Senator Lindsay was
ready to make a speech. The Kentucky
Senator desires to defend the action of
the Senate finance committee and the Dem
ocratic Senators who supported them. 1t
Is also understood that Senator Allison of
some length on the present status of tariff
legislation. II Is possible. that both of
these speeches will be made by the court
esy of the Senate, although the Repub-
licanS said to-day that no speeches would
any more business included also speeches.
Some of the Democrats assert, however,
that IL any attempt is made to prevent the
speeches on the Democratic side a quorum
OF the Democratic side will be recalled
under duress by the Sergeant-at-arms. on
the Republican side ii is claimed that the
tariff debate as well as the tariff legisla-
tion is closed. This may lead TO some ugly
feeling if insisted upon. If Senator Lind
say should get the floor he could not be
interrupted by points of no quorum as he
could not be taken Off the floor without
his consent but whenever the attempt Is
made TO call up the resolution upon which
he is to speak the point can be made, and
the present indications are that when the
Senate meets again there will not be
quorum present, as a number of Senators
intend leaving before Wednesday.
Senator Harris has given notice that i'm
mediately after the reading OF the journal
on Wednesday he Will move an executive

ing the Great Mexican Volcano.

MEXICO CITY, Mexico, Aug. 2O.-The
government expedition of scientists now
on the summit of Popocatepetl is making
good progress in its surveys of the famous
volcano. The altitude is 1858 Spanish
feet above the level of the sea and the cir

elaborate study is being made of the smok-
ing peaks of the volcano. the general de-
posits in the crater as well as the geo.
logical formation of the mountain and the
botanical specimens encountered on it's
lofty slopes.
Donald Stewart returned last night from
the expedition with which he spent seY-
eral days for the purpose of looking into
the feasibility of constructing a wire tram
way from the base of the volcano to the
sulphur mines in the crater. He thinks II
possible TO construct a tramway for freight
and passengers. but has not entirely
studied the obstacles 10 be encountered
and the difficulties TO be overcome The
tramway would be over ten miles i'm
length and the longest line OF the kind i'm
the world.

this evening. His early return was con-
nected with rumors that President Cleve-
land would come to Washington at once,
