Washington, July 26.-The treasury
officials already have discovered a
number of inconsistencies in the new
tariff act, some Of them, it is feared,
being incapable of reconciliation. 1t is
pointed out that section 262 places the
duty on plums at 25 cents per bushel
and section 264 fixes the rate at 2 cents
per pound. An error in these para
graphs as to currants was corrected in
conference. Another section fixes the
rate of duty on hides Of cattle at Is
per cent. ad valorem n admits raw
kin free. The question involved is
in the classification of calf skins, it be-
ing contended hat commercially calf
kin are not c1assed as hides of cattle
End hence are entitled to free entry,
which is believed to be contrary to the
purpose of congress. Attention is also
called TO the fact that the provision as
to the licenses for customs brokers was
by inadvertence, it is believed, left out
of the act. Circulars are in preparation
constituting q numbe of the sections OF
the act. Persons entering this country
are permitted under certain restrictions
to bring with them duty free "usua
and reasonable furniture" This is in
terpreted to mean such furniture as
would be reasonable and useful for the
personal use of persons in their condi-
ton in life.

THE NEW TARIFF BILL.

h Secretary Of the treasury Decides
Bill Covers all Imports OF the Day ou
Which ft was Ratifed-The Amount In
voived an Immense sum.
Washington. July 2s.-The secretary
Of h treasury holds that the new
tarin act was in effect at the begin
ming Of h day on which il received
the approval OF the president and.
therefore, became operative after mid
night of Friday, July 23rd. Assistant
Secretary Howell today sent the fol-
lowing telegram to collectors Of Gus
toms: The department holds that the
new tariff law covers and includes all
customs business of July 24th." Later
in the day a formal circular of instruc-
tons. covering more fully the depart
ment views on the subject was printed
and mailed to all custom officials.
The opinion Of the attorney general
has not been requested on the mat
ter, the department holding that the
question Is of sufficient importance 10
justify them in taking it to the courts
for final determination, independent of
what the views of the law officers of
AS AAAllCAt IlllSAl NC dS u Tie
merits of the case.
Senator Allison was at the treasury
department today and in the course Of
acOnversation on the subject said that
in his opinion there was no reasonable
that the act covered all of the
day on which it became a law. This
also is the view of all the prominent
officials Of the treasury department,
including the collectors Of customs at
New York and several of the leading
ports of the
Sufficient data upon which TO base a
close estimate of the amount of duties
involved has not been received, but it
is stated roughly that it probably will
be between 500, 900 and s200, 900. The
internal revenue department will prob
ably save even a greater amount by
the new ruling han the customs
branch of the service. During the five
days from Tuesday, July goth, to and
including Saturday, July oath, the ma
tional revenue stamp agencies sold ap-
p~roximately IS, 1S1, 800 on beer stamps
alone and Of this amount it is eStima-
ted that not more than one third or ST.
2 1926 reached their destination before
the act went into effect. The saving
to the government on these sales is ex-
pected to aggregate not less than
$1S3, 900.
Commissioner Forman today tele-
graphed all stamp agents to settle only
On the basis of the increased rate of
~ cents per barrel and it is expect
ed that these instructions will apply
to all cases where the stamps were
not actually affixed to the packages
before the new rate became operative.
No figures as to the amount of Gig
arctic stamps disposed of have yet
been received, but it is believed that
the sales have been abnormally large,
as the rate of tax on cigarettes, speak
ing generally, was increased 100 per
cent. OF from so cents per 1000 to 81. 90,
the inducements to tobacco manufac-
turers to lay in a large supply were
even greater than in the case of the
brewers.

M'KINLEY AND QUEEN LII.
Tho Ex-Queen Calls at the White House
and has an Interview With the President
Office Seekers Crowd the Executive Man.

49, OUhC0 0cA0X IO"u Ii executive Nx0uO
sion.
Washington, July 26.-There was a
great crowd at the White house today,
larger than has been seen since the
early days of the administration. 1t
was ''the charge of the forlorn bri-
gade," as one of the officials put it, the
last attempt of the office-seekers to get
a word with the president before he
leaves Washington for weeks. Then
there were a number Of senators and
representatives who called to say fare
we'll to the president, prominent among
these being Speaker Reed.
Julius Palmer. of ex-Queen Liliouka-
lani's suite, accompanied by her cham
berlain, Joseph Heleluli, also called and
left some papers with one of the Off
Gals 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
ed themselves as being opposed to n
policy that touched the queens sover-
eighty.
Later in the day LiliOukalani herself
had a short interview with the presi-
dent. She arrived in town this morn
ing and, finding that the presidents
regular public reception occurred this
afternoon, she entered a carriage with
Mr.. and Mrs. Heleluli 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 n
with the public and then he had a short
talk with her, saying h a he regretted
the condition of Mrs. McKinley's
health alone prevented her from meet
ing Liloukalani. The latter is comfort
ly quartered at the Ebbitt, and the
length of her stay has not been deter
mined.

Upholstered furniture should be treated

the hair from attack. The outside GOV.

worn only during part Of each year, are
exceedingly subject to destruction by

How to Clean a GoatsIsin Rug.


They can be cleaned by washing or
with naphtha.
Wet small part of the rug with
naphtha and rub with a soft cloth until
that space ia clean, then clean another
place, continuing until the entire rug
has been treated in this way. Hang in
the air until the odor has disappeared
Take care that no gas is lit in the room
while the naphtha is being used.
To wash the rug, put into tub about
four gallons Of tepid water and half a
pint of household ammonia. Let the
rug soak in this for about half an hour,
sopping II up and down in the water
frequently. Rinse in several tepid wa
ters and hang on the line to dry; If pos
sible, in a shady place. Select windy
day for this work. Even with the great
est care the skin will become hard when
washed. Rubbing it between the hands
tends to soften it, or it may be folded
lengthwise, the fur side in, and then be
passed through the clothes wringer sew
eral times. This, OF course, should be
done only when the rug is dry.
