Washington, July 26.-The secretary 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 on Friday, July 23 Assistant Secretary Howell to-day sent the following tele- gram to collectors of customs:

 A formal circular of Instructions cov- ering more fully the departments views on the subject will be printed and mail ed to all customs collectors. The opin- ion of the attorney general has not been requested on the matter, the de- partnlent holding that the question is of sufficient importance to justify them in taking 1t 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.

Washington, July 26.-The treasury cialshavealready discovered a num- Der of inconsistencies in the new tariff act, some of them, it is feared being incapable of reconciliation. It is point ed out that section 262 places the duty on plums at 25 cents per bushel. and section 2S4 fixes the rate at 2 cents per pound. An error in the paragraph as to entrants was corrected in confer ence.
 Another section fixes the ate of duty on hides of cattle at 15 cents a pound and admits raw skins free. The ques- ton Involved Is the classification of calf skins it being contended that commer- ctally calf skins are not classed as hides of cattle, and hence is entitled to free entry, which is believed to be con- trary to the purpose of congress. At- tention is also called to the fact that the provision as to licenses for GUS toms brokers was, by inadvertence, it is believed, left out of the act Circulars are In preparation construing a num- Der of the sections of the act

Secretary Gage Preparing New
Measure for Congress.
NEW YORK, June IA dispatch
from Washington says that Secretary
Gage is preparing financial measure
to be submitted to Congress next win
ter. In pursuance of this plan he has
sent out letter to 200 leading bankers
and merchants inviting suggestions
for placing the currency upon sound
basis.
In outline the scheme will embrace
the gradual retirement of the green
backs and the substitution Of national
bank notes therefor, allowing national
banks to issue to the full limit, in
stead of 80 per cent. as now; reducing
the tax on national bank circulation
from 1 per cent. to one-fourth of per
cent, and limiting the denominations
of bank notes and other paper money
to $10 and substituting silver for all
below $40. There will probably be a
|
provision for branch banks, and there
is suggestion that State and NUM-
cipal bonds may be used as basis not
to exceed so per cent of the note cir
culation.
Secretary Gage, has, in fact, already
commenced to carry out his scheme for
retiring greenbacks as far as possible
under the present law by locking up
in the Treasury greenbacks and Treas
ury notes. These classes of notes have
greatly increased since March 4th, and
on June list there was held in the
Treasury of both classes about $780,
900, 900.

Government Makes Purchase
of Suoar Abroad

Government Makes Purchase
of Sugar Abroad.
NEW YORK, May 29-The United
States Government accepted the bid
today for 1,250,000 pounds of foreign
granulated sugar, entirely ignoring the
offers made for supplying a home pro-
duction because the American Sugar
Refining Company arbitrarily dictated
the price at which dealers in its su-
gars should sell, while the importer
having free field and a knowledge of
the rate fixed by the Sugar Trust, cut
under it 5000 of a cent a pound.
A notice posted today at the Govern
ment warehouse reads: Gustav A.
jain, 0414 sugar" That means the
yearly supply of sugar for the Indian
Bureau, costing s53,125, will be pur-
chased from Mr.. jain, who will supply
the imported product. The Indian Blu
reau is the largest single purchaser of
sugar in the United States, and its Of
fers for bids for the annual supply is
always watched for with interest.
They were opened Tuesday, and it was
found that six had been filed, five from
New York and one from Chicago. Five
of these bids offered sugar at 40-10O
of cent a pound, while one bid offer
ed it at AZ cents pound.
81 made the award on the merit of
the sugar" said Commissioner Jones,
when asked about the matter.
1.-THE sample submitted by the i'm
porter came up to the required stan
dard, and his being the lowest bid, he
gets the contract.
This state of affairs has come about,
not because American sugar could not
have been offered at profit as low as
the foreign production, but because
the Sugar Trust dictated the price at
which we should offer it." said one of
the bidders when asked about the true
inwardness of the case. ct would not
be well for me if the trust knew | was
complaining, but its arbitrary action
is an outrage, and the result in this
case is that their own product is kept
out of the Indian Bureau to the injury

dustry.
Even the sacks in which the sugar
will be imported will be of foreign
make This is the effect of the factor

a letter from Rev. John osborne. vice
dean, saying that as the two congre-
cations are not unanimous on the
terms and resolutions passed at the
meeting of the Second Congregation
last week, the attempt to unite the
congregations is at an end and that all
further conditions are void.
The Second Congregation has done
what it could do to secure union under
favorable terms and not go back to
where it started, and although not
unanimous at its meeting, the two or
three who wanted more definite terms,
are now unanimous.
No meeting of the First Congrega-
ton has been called, but Rev. osborne
has found out from several members
that they would not agree TO the terms
submitted by the Bishop through him,
together with the resolutions passed at
the meeting of the Second Congrega-
ton.
The services of both congregations
will continue the same as usual.

The new Ministry will be practically
the same as the former one. The

The surprise and displeasure of the
various sections of the opposition are
not easy to describe. All the leading

well as three marshals, had advised

A requiem mass was celebrated in
the Catholic Church this morning for
the repose of the souls of the foreign
volunteers killed in the war with Tur-
key. A magnificent catafalque, upon
which was a sarcophagus enveloped
with palms and Greek flags, occupied
the center of the aisle near the main
altar. The sarcophagus was surmount-
ed by the sword of the Italian Santa
Rosa, who fought during the war of
Greek independence. All the Cabinet
Ministers and many members of the
diplomatic corps were present, in addi-
ton to an enormous gathering of Carl

have been turned to good account
had his followers been as Jealous
