The minister married them and received

the marching strikers who are opera
ting under the leadership of Bradley,
a coxeyite. tried To seize an Illinois
Central freight train at Belleville. Illi-
nois, tonight. They were driven OF by
a sheriff's posse. When the 9;l5 fast
freight steamed up at Belleville. the
band OF strikers boarded II and de-
clared their intention of riding To the
Lenzburg and Marissa mines. where
they wished To inaugurate a strike.
The crew refused tn carry the strikers,
and halted the train at the depot. The
master OF transportation, GaVenburg,
at Ptckneyville, was communicated
with. He sent a telegraphic demand
TO Sheriff Rhein of Belleville. for the
protectio ion OF the train. Tho sheriff ac-
companied by his deputies and the
Beleville police force went To the
scene. He read Gavenburg's message
TO ths strikers and they AT once aban-
doned the train.

UNDER THE NEW TARIFF
1t Became Operative After Mid

THE RULING SAVES MONEY
It VIII Affect the Internal Revenue Ser
vice Most as There Has Been a Big
Sale of Beer Stamps I'M
porters Make Protest.

Washington, July 26-Thc treasury
department has decided that the new
tariff bill went into effect after mid
night, Friday. July 25
The secretary OF the treasury holds
that under the new tariff the act was
in effect at the beginning of the day
ON which IL received the approval of
the president and therefore became op-
erative after midnight on Friday, July
%. Assistant Secretary Howell to-day
sent the following telegram To colec-
tors of customs:
THE department holds the new tariff
law covers and includes all customs
business July "a
Allison was at the treasury depart
ment to-day and in course OF conversa-
tion on the subject said. In his opinion.
there was no reasonable doubt that
the act covered all OF the day ON which
II became law. This also Is the view
of all the prominent officials OF the
treasury department
Sufficient data upon which 10 base n
close estimate of the amount of duties
involved has not bcen received. but II
is stated roughly that II probably will
be between 100000 and 100000. The
internal revenue department will save
even a greater amount by the new
ruling than the customs branch of serv-
ice. During the five days from Tues
day. July 20. To and including Satur-
day. July "a. the internal revenue
stamps alone amounting TO over s5,00o,-
900 were sold, and OF this amount 1t Is
estimated that not more than one
third, or Sl.I27,266 reached their desti-
nation before the act went into effect.
The saving to the government ON these
sales Of beer stamps alone is expected
To aggregate not less than SlS3,000.
Commissioner Forman to-day tele-
graphed all stamp agents to settle on
the basis of the increased rate OF ~
cents per barrel and It is expected that
these Instructions will apply To all cases
where the stamps We're not actually
affixed TO packages before the new rate
became operative.
