NEW REVENUE LAW IN FORCE
SCHEDULES THAT GO INTO I'M
MEDIATE EFFECT.
Tea Tax Collected From June 10, at
Midnight-Bond Issue Will Be
Largely Oversubscribed.

Washington, June 1.-THE officials OF
the treasury department were busily
engaged today in the preparation OF
circular letters to customs and internal
revenue collectors, carrying into effect
the provisions of the war revenue act,
signed by the president yesterday. In
the internal revenue bureau, the only
schedules which go into immediate eff
feet are those relating to tobacco, snuff,
cigarettes and beer. a circular was
sent today to collectors of internal rev.
enue, stating that until new stamps
could be provided, they could make use
of the old stamps, but requiring them
to imprint by use of a rubber stencil
the words, under the act of 1898" The
only sections of the new bill which re-
late to customs are those levying a tax
OF 10 cents a, pound on all teas import
ed into this country, and the entry tax
on imported goods. This last provision,
however, does not go into operation I'M
til JULY 1 next. 49,.
Acting on the advice of the solicitor
of the treasury, the ruling of the de-
pertment holding the tax on tea went
into effect at 1905 p. m, yesterday, the
time the act was signed by the Dresi-
dent, has been modified. Under the
new ruling, issued today, the tax of 10
cents pound will be levied on teas
which reached the port of first arrival
after Monday, June Is, at midnight.
The work of sending out circulars to
the public regarding the new popular
loan of $500, 100000 is practically COM
pleted. Already large number of ap-
plications for the new bonds have been
received. among them several for con-
siderable amounts from residents of
this city. Most of them, however,
were irregular, inasmuch as the appli-
cations were not made on blanks pro-
vided Tor the purpose. These will be
to the Senders, together with
proper blanks to be filed out and re-
turned. The indications now are that
the loan will be largely over-subscrib-

CANADIAN FRIENDSHIP.
Sir Charles Topper Refers to Hostile
Legislature.

London, June 14.-Sir Charles Upper,
the Canadian statesman, ayho has just
arrived here from Canada, is quoted in
ar interview as discussing lengthily
the relations between Canada and the
United States. He. said:
Canada sympathiZeS very warmly
with the proposed rapprochement be-
tween Great Britain and the United
States. 1t has always been our desire
to have the most friendly commercial
relations with the republic, but hither-
to the United States has not shown any
disposition to reciprocity. The McKin-
ley and Dingley bills and the alien Ia
Dor laws presented conclusive evidence
on this point. l believe, however, that
the present is a most propitious time
for the settlement of all questions, and
in the changed temper of the American
people, think they can be approached
with a fair prospect of a just settle

NEWS FROM OVER THE STATE.

l. A. for Emery and Carbon counties
was in session here Saturday and Sun
day and was largely attended. Five
sessions We're held, and at each one it
was impossible to accommodate half
the people who sought admission.
Apostle Woodruff and wife of Salt
Lake, and Mr.. Holt and Mrs. Fraize
were in attendance, and took prominent
parts in the proceedings of the confer
ence. All OF these visitors made adj
dresses and gave prominence to the
sentiment that the belief in polygamy
was as much a part of the Mormon
faith today as it ever was, and they
condemned the action Of the United
States government in stamping out the
practice. The young people were given
to understand that they could not deny
that part of the teachings If the Nor
mon church without denying the
Prophet Joseph Smith, who first au-
thorized it. Apostle Woodruff is an
easy, fluent speaker and made an ex-
cellent impression on the people of this
valley.
1t was decided that Emery stake
would send a choir to compete for the
prizes at the Eisteddfod to be held at
Salt Lake City next October.

UNJUST TO ARMY OFFICERS.
Too Many Assigned to Duty On the
Volunteer Stats.

Washington, June 1.-THE war de-
partment officials are very much en-
barrassed at the request coming from
the newly appointed brigadier generals
to have United States army regular Of
ficers assigned to duty on their staffs.
The department is not disposed to al
low fair representation, but it is felt
to be improper and unjust to the regu-
lar army officers to make up these STATS
entirely from among them. The imme-
cite consequence of. acceding to these
requests has been to force the volunteer
officers of lower grade than the gem
eral officers upon the regular service,
where they are frequently called upon
to command men much older in years
and ripper in military experience than
themselves. The result is dissatisfaction
and discomfort all along the line, for,
as a rule, the regular army officers very
much prefer duty on the staff of gen.
erals of the regular army.

USE OF THE CABLES.
Why Sampson and Dewey Have Not
Sent Messages.

Washington, June 14.-An unexpected
complication has arisen as to the right
of Admiral Sampson at Santiago and
Admiral Dewey at Manila to use the
cables which each has secured with a
view to bringing them into direct tele-
graphic communication with the au-
thorities here 1t is understood by Of
ficials here that Admiral Dewey Sc
cured the shore end of the cable from
Manila to Hong Kong some time ago
and buoyed it. with a view to sending
dispatches The same condition is un-
derstood to exist at Santiago, where
Admiral Sampson has buoyed the shore
end of the cable with a view 70 repair
ing and using it. But no messages
have been sent, and the question has
arisen as to whether it is allowable
under the rules of neutrality for the
French and British companies owning
these lines to permit them TO be used
for strictly military purposes.
The companies control the points of
exit and are able TO refuse to pass dis
patches along. so that the holding Of
the shore ends by Admirals Dewey
and Sampson does not permit them 10
carry on communication, except
through the assent of the companies.
These are private concerns, but they
are bound to observe the neutrality Of
their respective governments. There is
some anxiety therefore, as to the
course of the operators of the French
company at Hayti when they receive
messages from Admiral Sampson.
Should they refuse to handle them over
neutral lines, touching neutral terri
tory, an international question may
arise The same condition exists as to
the Manila cable, and the failure to
receive dispatches from Manila is at
to the failure of the British
operators at Hongkong to take the

negotiations are now in progress which
give promise of satisfactory under
standing with the companies and the

San Francisco. June 1.-THE Exam
iDer says: The mystery surrounding
the identity of Hugh w. Williams, who
was shot during quarrel at the home

Friday-WiIiam Smith of ElsinOre-
