THE CAMPS MEETING LAST NIGHT.
Report on Organization of the sons.
Other Interesting Matters.

Pickett Camp, Confederate Veterans
held a long and interesting meeting at
the Powhatan Club last night, at which
the principal topic Of discussion was the
expediency OF organizing camp Of Sons
of Confederate Veterans. The matter
has long been agitated. and had been re-
ferred TO a committee at recent meet
ing. This body of gentlemen, consisting
Of Comrades Il. Z. Stratton, c. 7. Loehr,
richard s. Maury. j. d. Redwood. John
T.. Parrish, and l.. T. Christian. submit
ter their report to the general body last
night This report was as follows:
''The undersigned committee, appointed
IN consider whether 1t be expedient TO
organize a separate camp Of Sons OF Nete-
rams. respectfully report that We do not
deem such action advisable. But We also
report that in our opinion it would be
most desirable so to modify our laws as
that all persons not under 10 years OF
age whose ancestors are or would De
eligible to our membership. should them
selves be so eligible, and 10 promote the
success OF such an effort, a plan should
no prepared whereby lesser membership
fee should be charged against such sons
of veterans. and certain offices should be
created for them alone. and also the
oflca of third lieutenant-commander
should he reserved for them exclusively
under whose command they shall parade
on the left of the line on all public oc-
casions And that our bylaws be modi-
fled accordingly
TO BE CONSIDERED FURTHER.
This report took the camp very much
hy snrnrise. and it was followed by a
debate. While there were
many who spoke in favor Of the sug-
gestion. Others opposed it vigorously, be-
Iieving that the veteran organization
sbonld be kept separate and distinct.
ana that the reputation that the camp
beid for admitting none but veterans
who had seen active service during the
war should be maintained.
AS the result OF a lengthy discussion,
II was agreed that the matter should be
referred back 10 the committee. which
should be enlarged TO include the COM
mander. the three lieutenant command
ers. and Colonel r. V. Northern.
The camp also adopted resolution OF
regret at the recent demise of Miss
Elizabeth Med. Crenshaw, whose zeal
''in rescuing from oblivion the glorious
which cluster around the
graves OF our southern patriots was
made the subject OF an appropriate
eulogy.
An invitation was accepted from
Louisa Camp, Confederate Veterans, TO

Nh JnfimntIOn of II.

Commander Woody when shown this
communication last night. said Pickett
Camp had received no intimation of the
affair as yet and the Dispatch telegram
was the first announcement that such
an invitation had even been considered.
His comrades. he was sure, would not
desire to pose as skeletons at any feast.
The acrimonious tone of the opposition
he thought. was deeply to be deplored,
though il went to- show that the bitter
ness which marks these post-bellum days
is not so strictly confined 10 the South
as the northerners would have us be-
lieve. on many occasions within the last
few wears northern soldiers who fought
through the civil war have been re-
ceived here and entertained with en-
tbusiasm. and now Grand Army vete-
rams are always made welcome ~ any
southern camp-meeting or reunion. only
4 week ago, said Commander Woody,
a Young gentleman from Boston, son OF
northern veteran, who happened to be
in the city at the time of the Old First's
reunion was captured" and given
place of honor at the feast out Of re-
spect to his fathers memory
After all, added the Commander, the
southern people were the greatest suf-
fercrs. before the war. during the war,
and after It, and If we can sink our
grievances and our differences of opin-
ion. northern veterans might very well
follow our example.

NEW TARIFF. ACT.
AUTHORITIES HOLD 1T WENT INTO
EFFECT FRIDAY.
GOVERNMENT SAYINGS INVOLVED.
Customs Duties to the Amount of
between 100000 and $2OO,OOO-
Beer stamps and Tax on Ciga-
rettes.

WASHINGTON. July 26.-The Secre-
tary of the Treasury holds that the new
tariff act was in effect at the beginning
of the day on which it received the ap-
proval OF the President, and, therefore.
became operative after midnight of Fri
day, July ed. Assistant Howell to-day.
sent the following telegram to collectors
Of customs: Department hold that new
tariff law covers and includes all GUS
toms business Of July 9th"
Later I'm the day formal circular Of
instructions, covering more fully the de-
partment's views on the subject. was
printed and mailed TO all customs Off
cials.
The opinion of the Attorney General
has not been requested on the matter,
tion is Of such importance as to justify
them i'm taking it to the courts for final
determination, independent of what the
views of the law officers Of the govern
ment might be as 10 the merits Of the
case. Senator Allison was at the Trea-
sury Department to-day, and in the
course of a conversation on the subject
said that I'm his opinion there was no
reasonable doubt that the act covered
all of the day on which II became a law.
This, also. is the view of all OF the
prominent officials Of the Treasury De-
partment, including the collectors Of GUS
toms at New York and several OF the
leading ports of the country. Sufficient
data on which TO base a close estimate
Of the amount Of duties involved have
not been received but IT Is stated rough
ly that it probably viii be between $780,
and 100000.
The Internal-Revenue Department VIII
probably save even a greater amount by
the new ruling than the customs branch
Of the service. During the five days from
Tuesday, July 2Oth, to and including
Saturday, July oath, the internal-revenue
stamp agencies sold approximately S,lSl,-
500 in beer stamps alone, a,V OF THIS
amount it is estimated that not more
than one-third. or $1,727, ,266, reached their
destination before the act went into Ell
feet The saving to the government on
these sales is expected to aggregate not
less than $4,000. Commissioner Forman
to-day telegraphed all stamp agents TO
settle only on the basis Of the increased
rate Of l-2 cents per barrel, and 1t Is
expected that these instructions Will ap-
ply to all cases where the stamps were
not actually affixed TO the packages De
fore the new rate became operative
No figures as to the amount OF ciga>
rette stamps disposed Of have yet been
received, but IL is believed that the sales
have been abnormally large. AS the rate
of tax on cigarettes, speaking generally
was increased 100 per cent, or from %
cents per thousand to 81, the induce
ments TO tobacco manufacturers to lay
in large supply were even greater than
in the case of the brewers.

The Southern to Have Piers Erected
and Build Up the Town.

The fiat has gone forth that West
Point is TO be made coaling station for
coasting and foreign steamers.
To this end contracts have already
been entered into for the construction
of piers suitable for coal. This work
is to be completed by December lst.
and shipments Of coal will follow as
soon as the proper provisions are made
for its reception. Not only will the port
be used as a coaling station for ocean
going steamers, but quantities OF the
fuel will be shipped North.
1t is believed that thousands Of ves-
sells will be attracted to the port by the
change, and 1t will, Of course. add enor-
mously TO the material prosperity Of the
pretty little town, the growth of which
has been checked since the Southern
railway removed its terminus TO Pin
ner's Point.
At the time this change was effected,
II will be remembered, it was recog-
nized as great blow to the prospects
Of West Point. 1t is this same railroad,
however. that has undertaken the con-
version of the harbor into a coalinS
station, and this action will make West
Point a large and important shipping
point and will undoubtedly add 70 the
prosperity OF other parts OF Virginia.

TARIFF INCONSISTENCIES.
A Number of Flaws Discovered In
the DingIey Act.

WASHINGTON, July 26.-The Treasury
officials have already discovered a num-
her of Inconsistencies in the new tariff
act some Of them, it is feared, being In
capable OF reconciliation. 1t is pointed
ont that section a2 places the duty on
plums at 25 cents per bushel, and section
2s4 fixes the rate at cents per pound.
An error in these paragraphs as 10 cur
rants was corrected In conference. An
other secticn fixes the rate OF duty on
hides OF cattle al 10 per cent. ad valorem,
and admits raw skins free. The aues-
ton involved is in the classification OF
calf-skins. il being contended that, COM
mercially, calf-skins are not ciassed as
hides OF cattle. and hence are entitled
to free entry. which is believed to be
contrary to the purpose OF Congress. At
tention is also called TO the fact that

Brigade" as one of the officials put
il. the last attempt of the office-seek-

among these being Speaker Reed. Julius

suite. accompanied by her chamberlain,
Joseph Heleluli, also called, and left
some papers with one Of the officials.
for delivery to the President. the
papers presented by Mr.. Heleluli were
memorials from the three great pa
triotic societies of Hawaii, and, while
they were not made public, it is under
stood that the memorialists represent
themselves as being opposed TO any
policy that touches the Queens soVer-
eighty.
Later I'm the day Liliuokalani herselt
had a short interview with the Presi-
dent. She arrived in town this morn
ing. and finding that the President
would hold a reception in the afternoon,
she entered n carriage, with Mr.. ana
Mrs. Helelull and Mr. Palmer, and was
driven to the White House. Their CARDS
were sent up, and they were requested
TO wait at one end OF the east ROOM
apart from the crowd Of callers. This
they did. the Queen being seated. The
President requested that she wait until
he had shaken hands with the public
and then he had a short talk with heH
saying that he regretted that the eondi-
ton of Mrs. McKinleys health alone
prevented her from meeting Lilluokalani.
The latter Is comfortably quartered AT

eided upon the location Of his office and
to some extent upon the personnel Of
his official staff. he courteously declined
this afternoon to give any information
on either point. A shrewd guesser, how
ever, would not consider that he was
risking much in naming Petersburg as
his headquarters.
He has not yet made up his mind when
he will take charge. but certainly he win
not do so Immediately, as he has inn
