tions as to Enforcement OF the Law.

j. II. Lamont, deputy collector of
internal revenue, has received in
structions as to the enforcement of the
revenue bill just passed by congress.

per barrel, with an allowance of II
per cent discount on all sales of beer

goes into effect may he exchanged for
new or imprinted stamps represent
ing the new rate of tax upon presen-
sentat ion to the collector Of internal

rates subsequent to April II, 1898, in
excess of 200 pounds of tobacco or
10000 cigars or cigarettes, are re-
quired to make return TO collectors

to one-half the difference between the
tax already paid on such articles at
the time of removal from the factory
or custom house and the new rate.

PEACE IN CAMP ALGER.
Sixth Is to Retain It's Hospital Outfit After
ALL

All.
A Washington dispatch says:
Peace reigns tonight in Camp Alger,
and Col. Girard, the chief surgeon OF
the Second army corps. who was 90
ing about yesterday like a roaring
lion, is now as meek as a lamb. The
hospital trouble has been settled and
the 9th Illinois and 9TH Illinois still
retain the ambulances presented to
them respectively by Mrs. Levi Il.
Letter and Nelson Morris. Col. Gil
rard tried to carry off the ambulance
belonging to the 9TH yesterday, and
when he was prevented from doing
so he reported Col. Kavanaugh to
Gen. Graham for INSTRUMENTATION
After investigating the matter Gen.
Graham told the chief surgeon that he
had no power to coniiscate any of the
private property belonging to the va
rious regiments. BY observing this
rule Col. Girard found very little to
do in dismantling the regimental hos
pital of such supplies as could. be le-
gally taken by the government. As a
result the 9th Illinois retains most of
its hospital equipment and the hospi-
tai of the 9TH was only sighted af-
fected
Equipments for the troops here
have been arriving in large quantities
recently, and there are enough now
at Dunn Loring, three miles distant,
to fully equip the entire corps. They
are being rapidly transferred to camp,
and soon the corps will be ready to
move it where needed. This lends
force to the rumors that the first di-
vision OF the corps, to which the 9th
Illinois belongs, will soon be sent
south. Strong hints to this effect
have also come from Washington
within the last day or two, and it is
now believed there will be Il move
ment before long"

MERCHANTS EXCURSION.
Annual Visit of Buyers to Chicago
Greater than Ever.

Chicago, Aug. 12.-Ten million dol
lars worth of dry goods, clothing, gro
ceries, hardware and other articles of
merchandise will be sold within the
next ten days to out-Of-town merchants
by Chicago jobbers. That is the esti-
mate made by the National Association
of Merchants and Travellers of the pro-
babIe business effects Of its August
meeting, and the officials of the associ-
alton think that they are putting the
figures on a very conservative basis, so
that they will beyond any question re-
alize them in actual trading.
The wholesale merchants of the city
are thoroughly prepared for the heavy
trade that is coming to them. They
nave seen it in advance and have in
nearly all cases Increased their stocks
so as to be ready to fill all orders with
out any delay. A representative of one
of the largest dry goods concerns in
the city said yesterday that his firm
hand on hand the largest stock it had
ever possessed, and that to his own
knowledge many other firms were stu
ated in the same way.
The August meeting is big-bigger,
perhaps, than any of the meetings in
the past. It is, however, only the be-
ginning of the fall trade. All the indi-
cations point toward the September
merchants ever brought together at one
place and time in this country. And
then there is the October meeting to
follow, which viii also be big. Chicago's
wholesale trade this fall will, beyond
any doubt, when the books are made
up, be looked upon as record making.
Every element that is needed for a
splendid fall trade is present, say the
wholesale merchants. There is the big
gest wheat crop ever raised in the
country, and the prices for it are going
to be good The price conditions in 9TH
er lines are favorable The crop mar
xet abroad is in good condition and the
balance of trade is the way it should
be- The currency situation is compare
lively clear. More than all the conf
dence of the people in the administra.-
ton is unbroken and no man is deferred
from taking part in any business enter
prise for fear of the attitude of the ma
tonal government. Another point on
which there is general satisfaction is
the absence of any bad effect on west
ern trade on account of the war with
Spain The country merchants on their
part have every reason for feeling hope
full and well satisfied. Almost without
exception they report the crops in good
condition, and from many places they
report the best crops ever raised.
