From the time the curtain first
went up the audience was kept in a
continual uproar of laughter Moth
ing but highest praise has been be-
slowed upon the play; all pronounce
it the best comedy of the season.

AND THE VESSELS RACING
AGAINST THE LAW LOSE.
THE QUESTION WILL GO TO THE COURTS
There is Considerable Money Involved in the
Question as the Protected Industries Were
as Usual Seeking All Adyan-
tages Possible.

Washington, D. c., July 26.-The Sec
retary of the Treasury holds that the
new tariff act was in effect at the be-
ginning of the day ON which it received
the approval of the President, and there
fore became operative after midnight Of
Friday, July %. Assistant Secretary
Howell today sent the following tele-
gram to collectors of customs:
'The Department holds that the new
tariff law covers and includes all GUS
tums business of July oath
Later in the day formal circular of
instructions, covering more fully the De
partment views on the subject was print
ed and mailed to all custom officials.
The opinion of the Attorney General
has not been requested in the matter, the
Department holding that the question is
of sufficient Importance to justify them
in taking it to the courts for final de-
termination, independent of what the
views of the law officers of the govern
ment might be as to the merits of the
case Senator Allison WAS at the Treas
ury Department today and in the course
of a conversation ON the subject said in
his opinion there was no reasonable
doubt that the act covered all of the day
on which it became law. This also is
the view Of all of the prominent officials
of the Treasury Department, including
| the collectors of customs at New York
| and several of the leading ports of the
country.
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 100000 and 100000. The in
! ternal revenue department will proba bly,
save even a greater amount by the new
ruling than the customs branch of the
service. During the five days from Tues
day, July 20, to and including Saturday,
! July oath the internal revenue stamp
| agencies sold approximately So, ,1S1 800 in
beer stamps alone and of this amount it
! is estimated that not more than one
| third or S1,727,266 reached their desti-
nation before the act went into effect.
The saving to the Government on these
sales is expected to aggregate not less
than S1S3,OO0. Commissioner Forman
today telegraphed all stamp agents to
settle only on the pasls VI lIle IhtIeaSeu
rates of ~ cents per barrel and it is
expected that these instructions will ap-
ply to all cases where the stamps were
not actually affixed to the packages be-
fore the new rate became operative. No
figures as to the amount of cigarette
stamps disposed of have yet been receiv-
ed. but it 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 so cents
per thosand to one dollar, the induce
| ments to tobacco manufacturers to lay
| in large supply were even greater than
| in the case of the brewers.

Make a Last Charge on the Advance
Agent of Prosperity for Relief
Queen Lii Vents Relief, too.
Washington. D. c., 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 forolrn brigade"
as one Of the officials put it the last at
tempt of the office seekers to get word
with the President before he leaves
Washington for weeks. Then there were
a number of Senators and Representa-
tives who called to say farewell to the
President. prominent among these being
Speaker Reed. Julius Palmer, of ex-
Oueen Liliuokalanis suit. accompanied
by her chamberlain, Joseph Heleuli, also
called and left some papers with one of
the officials for delivery to the President.
The papers presented by Heleui were
memorials from the three great patriotic
societies of Hawaii. and while they were
not made public, it is understood that
the memorialists represented themselves
as being opposed to any policy that
touched the Queens sovereignty. Later
in the day Liluokalani herself had
short interview with the President. She
arrived in town this morning and finding
that the Presidents regular public recep-
ton occurred this afternoon she entered a
carriage with Mr.. and Mrs. Heleuli 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 than he had short talk with
her, saying that he regretted the condi-
ton of Mrs. McKinley's health alone
prevented her from seeing Liloukalani.
The latter is comfortably quartered at
the Ebbitt, and the length of her stay
here has not been determined.

THE JAPANESE PROTEST.
Count Okuma Cites European Prece-
dents for Opposing the Annexation of
Hawaii.

SanF Francisco, Cal, July 26.-The
steamer China arrived from Hong Kong
and Yokohama. bringing Japanese ad-
vices to July 7th. The Japanese papers
contain more fully an interview with
Count Okuma, the Japanese minister of
foreign affairs, brief synopsis of which
was telegraphed from Vancouver few
days ago. In the interview, which was
published in the Yomikri, Count Okuma
is quoted as saying relative to the pro-
posed annexation of Hawaii by the Uni
ted States
Japan must oppose to the utmost
The annexation must not be recognized.
England has repeatedly attempt
ed to make Egypt dependent, but
France being positively opposed to that
arrangement England rs obliged to
abide by the statu quo. Just the same
way Japan must oppose the annexation
to the utmost and must stand by this
decision resolutely.
Japan has communicated to England,
Germany and France the reasons for her
protest against annexation. They may
send their answers before long. After
all. no excitement sh0uld be raised
against this affair.
"Mr. Oshi, prime minister Of agricul-
ture and commerce, who is regarded as
one of the lieutenants of Count Okuma.
according to the Japan Gazette, is said
to have spoken on the annexation ques-
ton in the following manner:
GIVE have now made vigorous pro-
tests against the United States with a
view ITO maintaining the peace of the
Pacific. This is a great advance in
Japan's diplomacy. Just see how many
coun tries there are in the world which
dare to prefer such a protest against
Americans. Even the so-ealled powers
of Europe concede a step to the United
States':

THE MEXICAN GOLD FIELD
THE PLACER MINES ARE ALMOST AS RICH
AS THOSE IN KL0NDYKE.
The Prediction is Made That the New Field will
be Found Even Richer and That Great
Deal Of Gold VIII be Taken Out.

City of Mexico, July .6.-It is ore.
dicted here that when the gold placer
mining is developed in the State of Gu
erero. more gold will be taken out than
in the KlOndyke region. Some placer
mining is being done with excellent re.
suits and labor is cheap and water
abundant, even in the dry season. One
miner, an old Californian, reports taking
out $24 900 in gold in May and his aver
age is $4,000 per month. The Indians
in Sonora who work in a crude way in
the local gold placers only operating
when in pressing need of money, get
larger returns for very little labor and
an explorer who has recently been
through the remotest regions, states that
Sonora will equal California in its pal.

TINKERING WITH TARIFF
TRYING TO FIND OUT WHAT THE NEW
LAW " ANS.
Conflicts IreconciIabIe-, ,g to Classify
Commercial Calf Skins--t ircuIar Issued
Constituting Provisions of the Law.

Washington, d. c., July 26.-The
Treasury officials already have discov-
cred 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 two
cents per pound. An error in these para
graphs as to currants was corrected in
conference. Another section fixes the
rate of duty hides of cattle at 15
cents ad valor and admits raw skins
free. The que N involved is in the
classification of calf skins, it being con-
tended that commercially calf skins are
not classed as hides of cattle and hence
are entitled to free entry which is be-
lieved 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 inadvert-
ence, it is believed. left out of the act.
Circulars are in preparation constituting
a number of the sections of the act.
Persons entering this country are per-
mitted under certain restrictions to bring
with them duty free usual and reason
able furniute." This is interpreted to
mean such furniture as would be rea-
sonable and useful for the personal use
of persons in their condition in life.
