After Patent Medicine Men.

Washington, Sept. 1.-The treasury
department has issued a circular call
ing the attention of collectors and rev.
enue agents to the fact that the tax
on medical preparations is not being
thoroughly enforced, and ordering an
immediate and systematic examination
of the stocks of dealers. Large manu-
featuring chemists are reported to be
putting up a number of medicines in
a style similar to proprietary medicines
in general, but bearing no stamp. Med
icinal chemical compound preparations,
many patent or trade marks. are being
improperly put on the market as I'M

The department says the action of the
chemists threatens the integrity of the
whole tax system under schedule b, as
relating to medicinal articles, and calls
for the serious attention of the entire
service

an advance guard of cavalry located a
large body of Dervishes at a supposed
outpost near Kerreri, about eight miles
north of Omduran. The enemy showed
a disposition to fight. beating with their
drums, and displayed battle bunting.
The Montmorency troop emptied a few
Dervish saddles and three gunboats
steamed up the river in front of the
town and shelled the Dervish position.
The enemy's loss could not be ascer-
tanned, as the Dervishes- were in a hol-
low, but fleeing troops could be dis
tinctly seen. The army is moving
slowly. Yesterday it advanced four
miles in close formation

shortly after the prisoner had received
visit from an officer of the general
