WAR TANES.

The people are about be taxed to pay
the expenses of the war. The President
on Tuesday signed the revenue act, all of
the provisions of which will be in effect

and another era of war taxes is about to
be inaugurated.
Some of the special provisions of the
law levy additional taxes upon beer, ale
and tobacco: upon inheritances and
legaces exceeding $4,000; on proprie
tary medicines; on bank checks, drafts
and notes: on bonds and dcbentures: on
bankers and brokers; on theatres and cir
cuses; ON telephone and telegraph mes
sages; on mortgages: on sugar and oil; on
parlor and sleeping cars, and on custom
house entries.
There is also a tax of 10 cents Il pound
on all teas imported into this country.
A circular has been sent to collectors of
internal revenue that the necessary stamps
will be provided as soon as required

THE WHEAT
CORNER BROKEN.

The tumble in wheat Monday was
phenomenal, July wheat in Chicago sell
ing down to IS cents and September going
as low as co. cents. Some ten million
bushels or more were sold for Joseph
Letter, whose corner has after all, it APP
pears, brought him to grief, instead Of
making him a multi-millionaire. Letters
father withdrew his support and he was
unable to put up the required margins.
The trouble about his wheat was that he
did not part with it soon enough. Not all
corners result in disaster to the organizer,
but the Letter corner seems to be follow
ing the general rule. Was it beneficial to
the American farmers? If it enabled them
to sell last years crop at price not other
wise attainable he was no doubt their
benefactor, but it may be argued that May
wheat would have gone high without his
manipulation.

We get some idea of the enormous dis
lance that separates the Philippines from
the United States in the receipt at Wash
ington Tuesday of Admiral Dewey's re-
port of the battle in Manila Bay. 1t is
dated May 4th, and had been just about
six weeks in coming. Before the days of
submarine telegraph that is not so
very long ago-this would have been our
first news from Dewey. 1t might have
taken longer for the steamers were much
slower then. AS it is, the telegraph has
long anticipated the admirals report,
Which is remarkable chiefly for its Singu-
lar simplicity. One of the most eXtraordi-
nary naval victories in history is recorded
with the matter of-fact brevity Of Il ship ;
log, anu there is not the least suggestion
that he has done anything out of the com
mon, except in the generous praise he
gives to the officers serving with him.

Baltimore is rolling up a magnificent

1898, shows the tremendous increase of
about $50 600, 600 in values, compared with
the twelve months Of the year from June
Both, 1896, to June Both, 1897. Ifthe pres

far, Collector Stone looks forward to the
fiscal year ending June 30th 2i!irg up an
increase of $50, 000,0O over the same
period of 1896 and 1891 An important
feature of this increase is the fact that it
is heavily contributed to by exports of
cereals and provisions. Baltimore is thus
steadily advancing as an export city to
supply the world with food etuH4

A Funeral.

A funeral without a corpse was the
queer spectacle which the people Of
Williamsburg, N. Y, witnessed recent
ly. The way it came to occur was this:
Henry Milthack, a resident of that
town, sent his wife to Germany for her
health, and on Sunday received a cable
message to the effect that she was dead
and that she would be buried on Tues
day. OF course her husband could not
get N the ocean in time for the
funeral, SO he resolved to have a con-
temporary funeral in Williamsburg,
minus the corpse. An undertaken was
engaged, who arranged for the affair in
the usual manner. Announcements
were put in the papers and friends Of
the family Notified. At the appointed
hour the house was filed with mourn
ers, and the minister preached a funer-
al sermon. Every detail was carried
out the same as if it were an ordinary
funeral, until it came to going to the
cemetery, and there, of course, it had
to stop.
