1t VIII He Largely Increased by the
War Tax Bill.

ruE AuA DILL
The bureau of internal revenue is now
busily engaged in preparations for the en-
forcement of the war revenue bill, which,
it is expected. will become law today in
the same form as passed by the House last
night. Nearly the entire work involve
will fall upon the internal revenue service
the exceptions being the bond issue and
the coinage of the silver in the treasury
The increased tax upon beer that has been
removed from the brewery premises and
stored will be collected by assessment as
will also the additional tax of ) cents per
pound imposed on stocks of tobacco outside
of factory premises and the additional tax
on cigars and cigarettes, where such stocks
of tobacco, snuff, cigars and cigarettes are
in excess of the exempted quantities; that
is to say, one thousand pounds of manufac-
tured tobacco and snuff and 10000 cigars
and cigarettes. While the collection of the
above taxes by assessment instead of the
affixing of additional stamps will greatly
simplify the work in this connection yet
there are many blanks to be prepared,
printed and distributed within the thirty
days allowed. in which those interested are
required to make sworn returns of their
stocks on hand.
The hardest problem presented to the
commissioner, however, is the preparation
of designs and the printing of the vast
for the schedules A ana b, under which
stamps are required for almost every char
acter of commercial transaction, from the
ordinary bank check to the first mortgage
bond of a trunk line railway. Another
problem will be the devising of methods
and regulations for the taxing ana SUPER
yising of what Sis known in the bill as
mixed flour" e.

LOST A WATER BARGE.
Went Down on HatterRs, but Crew
Was Saved.

The Navy Department has received
word from the collector of customs at
Charleston, s. c., of the loss of the first of
the vessels of the American naval list not
counting the Merrimac, which was, of
course, purposely sunk. This was, how
ever, nothing more than big barge known
as water tender No. l. and formerly the
property of the Standard Oil Company, I'M
der the designation of NO. IT, This
barge. with a crew of five men, was taken
in tow last Sunday at Norfolk by the col
lier Leonidas, bound for Key West, where
she was TO be used to distribute fresh
water among the naval vessels. OFF Hat
teras Tuesday, in the midst of a strong
gale. the Leonidas lost her tow. Diligent
search failed to discover it, but one of the
Merchant and Miners line steamers bound
northward saw the barge in sinking con-
dition. just in time to rescue the five men.
The barge went down to the bottom of the
sea and the men were landed at Baltimore
Wednesday. The navigation bureau today
sent orders by telegraph to Baltimore to
have the men report at once at Norfolk.

WATCHING YELLOW FEVER.
DR.. GeddfnEs Ordered to Take Charge
of Camp FOntnineblcau.

There is some apprehension here over the
outbreak of seven cases of yellow fever at
McHenry, Miss, and steps have been taken
not only to check the spread of the fever
from McHenry, but with view to prevent
ing any possibility of an epidemic in the
south. Surgeon General Wyman of the ma
rine hospital service has received a dis
patch from Surgeon Murray of that serv-
ice, confirming the Associated Press re-
port. DIR. r. d. Geddings of the marine
hospital service, now stationed at Tampa,
was ordered today to proceed directly to
NoHenry and take charge of Camp Fon-
tainebleau, the yellow fever camp put in
operation during the fever last year, and
which is now in readiness for the present
cases.
Surgeon Murray telegraphed that he had
gene to McHenry and confirmed the dag
noss made by the state authorities. The
town is now guarded and Marine Hospital
Surgeon Carter is already there with Sur
geon Murray. and the federal and state
authorities are cooperating.
The danger is rot so much feared at Nc
Henry as in the probability of its breaking
out at other points McHenry is small
place. isolated, and there is little danger
feared of its spreading outside the limits
there
But the fever cases arc believed to be
due to germs that have hibernated at Nc
Henry from the last season, when the
fever was much in evidence in that sec
ticn. While in that alternating stage germs
n ay have been carried out to various
points, and though the probabilities Of a
general spread from there may be lessened
by the comparative isolation of tie little
hamlet, other points in the south possible
of infection are being watched with the
utmost concern. Throughout the spring
officials have been keeping a lookout for
the first signs of fever, and in ten days
n ore the hospital surgeons would nave felt
warranted in the belief that practically all
danger of 8. spread of fever was past.
Surgeon General Wyman said today:
Ordinarily, if We had not been on the
lockout these cases might have been pro-
crossing for long period without being
recognized. and the diagnosis might have
been disputed. But there is hope now in
view of their prompt discovery that the
spread will be prev ented. In several places
last summer fever was quickly recognized.
and 1t did not spread, attributable to :he
prompt preventative measures adopted.
I'VE are keeping a close watch not only
at McHenry, but elsewhere"

ment of Justice the warrant authorizing

this morning and was personally given the
release papers. She Immediately took n

dent in signing the pardon of her husband,
who has spent four months in prison for
attempting to get arms and ammunition

A WARNING TO RUSSIA.
Made by Secretary Cursor fn British
Parliament Yesterday.

e~--@.s
LONDON, June 1O.-The newspapers here
are printing many congratulations upon the
signing OF the Angio-Ctinese convention
yesterday. which gives Great Britain an
extension of the boundaries OF Hong Kong.
ircludfng Kan-Lung. of altogether two hum
dred square miles under lease. 10 which
the greatest importance is attached, as the
territory thus acquired is regarded as being
essential for the protection of Hong Kong.
Tho lease comprises the Island of Lantao.
to the westward of Hong Kong. and the
mainland behind Kan-Lung south and east
of a line drawn from Mrs Bay 10 Deep
Bay. While the Chinese retain the nortn-
ern shores of these bays, the lease covers
their waters, subject to the right of the
Chinese to use them for their own ships.
When questioned in the house of COM
mons last evening as TO whether Russia
contemplated sending troops to the Yang
Tse-kiang valley. the parliamentary secre-
tary for the foreign office, Mr.. George y.
Curzon, made an important statement 20
the effect that such a proceeding without
the consent of China would be an act of
war, and, he added. the government would
take the requisite steps to protect British
interests. Obviously this is intended as a
warning to Russia not TO interfere in the
fang-Tse-kiang valley.
