to their enjoyment is the dearth OF young

The reception given by the President and
Mrs. Mckinley on Wednesday evening. in
honor of the Universal Postal Congress, was
a brilliant event. The gorgeous oriental
uniforms of the representatives OF the
Southern climes, the equally splendid mi
forms of the members OF the diplomatic
corps and OF our own officers OF the Army
and Navy VINO were in attendance, together
with the beautiful and elegant toilets of he
effective floral decorations, combined to
produce a wonderfully attractive picture.
Mrs Mckinley and the ladies forming Ter
social cabinet made most interesting and
attractive receiving line, and all wore their
most elegant gowns and Jewels.
The garden party at the British emb1ssy
was another brilliant and notable event,
which was enjoyed by the postal dele

society S folk, including alithe Cabinetme

diploniatique, as well as the Army, Navy,
and residential circles.
On this occasion the stately hal and
magnificent stairway of the embassy Were
draped with flags Of all nations, which
were loaned for the occasion by the diff
ferent foreign ministers. The effect was
q most striking combination of color, which
was truly Oriental, in contrast to the tall
palms and tropical plants which were
grouped about.

effect that no dog shall be allowed to remain aboard ship within the juris- diction of the Mersey Docks and har-
 bor board
 A steamer arrived at Liverpool this week the captain of which gloried in the ownership of a dog. Finding that he could not take it ashore without it's being seized by the board of az rlculture myrmidons and subjected to six months quarantine, the captain kept 1t aboard his ship and was forth with rhaled before the magistrates and lined for breach of the dock boards regulations He now wants to know what the devil he is to do. and the champions of British persec- tlon are unable to help him. The only tangible course advised is that the dog be killed and it's body en- balmed. Te objections to this are numerous. It is manifest that a dead dog is not of much good and, as far as the lawyers can see, a dog is a dog whether alive or dead. Moreover he cannot put it ashore into six months quarantine because it is er- tered on the ships papers as a live dog and 1t is treated by the customs as bonded stores. which have to be produced when the ship clears out ward. Doubtless this worthy captain before now has cursed the United States regulations, and therefore his present dilemma may be regarded as a judgment upon him.

SAD DILEMMA OF A DOG. He Can't Be Landed on British Soil and Mustn't Remain on the Ship.

London, Nov. 5.-Tt has long been the custom of Englishmen to idealize the customs and port regulations and denounce those of other countries as worthy of the dark ages. But a case occurred in Liverpool this week which scarcely fits this boasted perfection. A board of agriculture order came in- to force in Sept. 15 whereby dogs are forbidden to be landed in this land of freedom without a license from the board, a full description of the ami nal. and a sworn declaration as to its destination ard reserved the right of imposing "a six months canine quarantine at tlhe owners ex- pense, and the order lbristles with threats and punishmentsl for infringe gnsnt or evasion. At Liverpool there is also local port regu lation to the

London, Nov. 5.-Next week will probably see the end of the British expedition to tha heart of the brave Afridis's country, as far as actual fighting is concerned, but thsre will be lot ito do after that, and rot be fore the end of the year will the bulk of the big army sent against the mountain itribasmen be back to their customary Indian quarters. Then tha British and Indian governments will thave to consider the bill of costs. It will be @ large one, the largest, in fact, since England was at war with Afghanistan, nearly twenty years ago.
 All experts know that the Indian treasury is in a state of eXhauStic cn from the fearful strain imposed by tha, frontier warfare, and a large financial operation of some kind will be inevitable, for it must not be for gotten that the costly war was con- current with the enormous addition al expenditure of fighting famine and pestiience The three combined must have drained the treasury of quite $50,000,0O0, which means absolute depletion.
 The council of India, sitting in DUluuUl IVCtuLly udu lHduy ANXIOUS discussions and, if the current report in fnlancial and political quaruacs s that are usually well informed ol such matters may be accepted as correct, the city of London will be called upon before tine new year ito assist in say ing India from bankruptcy.
 One of the schemes proposed, in ad- dition to an ordinary loan, is tfl5 con- version of the existing Indian deblt from 31z to per centins to 21a per cent stock, and presumably with the guarantee of the British government behind it. This will present little practical difficulty
 It was for some time proposed that the imperial government should ask the house of commons to vote $1O,- ,000 to ward the expenses of the campaign. Theoretically all that has passed on the northwest frontiers is purely an Indian cond9rn, and, as the chancellor of the exchequer in his speech at Bristol on Thursday spoke hopefully of reducing taxation at home, it is evident that he does not contemplate the possibility of having to hand over the greater part of his expected surplus to help India

Washington, Nov. 5.-'It is possible
 now to form an estimation of the
 probable increase of internal revenue
 receipts under the new tariff law"
 said Commissioner Forman of the in-
 ternal revenue bureau, today.
 ''The DiDgley tariff ac. made two changes in the internal revenue law. It abolished the rebate of 71s cents upon each barrel of beer, which had previously been allowed brewers up- on the purchase of their internal revenue stamps. It doubled the in ternal revenue tax upon cigarettes. While in August there was a decrease of S61 ,905.90 in the aggregate receipts
 rom internal revenue, occasioned by the excessive purchase of beer stamps during the month previous, in antici- patton of the abolishment of the re- bate, in September there was an in- crease of $845, ,375.14, in the aggregate receipts. I estimate that the govern ment will gain this year about s3.- 000.G00 by the abolisllment of the heer rebate, notwithstanding the fact that the large brewery companies laid in a heavy stock of old stamps in an- tieipation.
 'r~is somewhat difficult to estimate the increase in receipts from ciga- cites. We will gain about $5,OOO 900, think, by virtue of the act passed before the tariff law was enacted al- lowing bottling of spirits in bond. This will prove very beneficial measure, as under its provisions the distillers withdraw whiskey four years old, bottle it under the supervision of United States inspectors, seal and stamp the bottles. By this means the public is assured good whiskey, and the small dealers are enabled to pur- chase pure Whiskey in small lots Heretofore they had to buy a barrel in order to get whiskey that had not passed through the hands of reci- fiers.
 'If the rate of consumption holds out, as expected, large quantities of whislzey will be withdrawn this year and bottled in this way, and, of course, the tax will have to be paid. For the months of August and Sep tembsr the total increase in the tax on spirits over the same months Of last year was S2,23S, ,94446 The in- crease in the tax on tobacco for these months over the same period last year was SS56, ,8S0.42. The apparent discrepancy between these figures and the aggregate mentioned above arises from the decrease in the item of tax on beer, as e1plaiIed.''

DEATHS AT MATANZAS. CIJRA Suicides Numbered Nineteen and Eff
 twilight Persons Perished,

Havana, Nov. 5.-A report from Matanzas says that nineteen persons committed suicide there yesterday. and the report of the statistical bur eau announces that on the same day hfty-eight persons died there of star vation. At Cardenas, in Matanzas province, forty persons died of star vation last Monday A correspondent describes she scene there as "heH. in which, among uncomfortable, tortures and pains, most satanic revelry is going on. Misery has brought all vices with it. Emaciated women marched by the side of the Spanish soldiers asking for a piece of bread"
 The same situation exists all over the island and similar stories come from every province. It is announc- ed that Blanco's first official act will be the revocation of Weyler's bar barous concentration decrees. What good this will do now it is hard to tell, as Weyler's cohorts have devas- tated the island, destroyed all farm buildings and implements, nor is it likely khat the pacifcos will leave the towns. Others have gone under Wey- ler's permission and were murdered. Those who are left with this knowl edge of Spanish treachery will fear to place reliance in the new order of things.
