THE MONTEREY STARTS.
Collier Leave San Francisco TO join
Admiral Dewey mt Manila.

SAN Francisco, June s-The princi-
pal event in the local war situation
yesterday was the departure of the
Monitor Monterey and the collier
Brutus for Manila. The order to get
under way was issued about one o'clock
and shortly afterward the wharves
and docks on the water front were
crowded with people anxious to wit
ness the departure of the formida-
BILE fighting machine and the collier
which Is to accompany her. Every
steam whistle on the water front
blew farewell, and rs the two YES
sels moved down the harbor toward
the Golden Gate the crowds on the
wharves set up mighty cheer. The
Monterey has always been a great To-
cal favorite, but the prospects are that
she will never again enter this harbor,
as she is to he permanently stationed
in the vicinity Of Uncle Sans colonies
in the east.

WILL HELP CONSUMERS.
Dealers Say the Proposed Tax on Tea Will
Insure n Better aud More Health
full Article.

WASHINGTON, June S.-The treasury
department looks at the tax on tea Us
one which will provide considerable
revenue. The importation OF tea for
the year ended with June last reached
1881, i,5 pounds, which is the great
est quantity ever imported in any one
year. On that basis, the proposed
duty OF ten cents per pound would
yield sll, 0o0,0 900. Dealers and i'm
porters have been advocating duty
ON tea for some time, upon the
belief that its effect would be
to exclude the adulteratcd and low
grade teas that now come here
from London in large quantities. The
per capita consumption OF ten in the
United States is ~ pounds, SO that
the proposed tax Of ten cents pound
would be equivalent to tax Of 10 cents
per capita. 1t is contended, however,
that the imposition of the tax will
make no addition to the price to the
consumer, while 1t will, on the other
hand, insure him better and more
healthful article.
