EFFECT OF NEW REVENUE LAW.
Receipts for st. Louis Will BE
Greatly Reduced.

Since the passage through Congress OF
the war revenue reduction bill Thursday
and its publication in the local papers. the
Office of Internal Revenue Collector Gren-
formation. Up to last night MIR. Grenner
had received no official notification from
the Revenue Department at Washington
concerning the measure. He Is expecting
word daily. -,
Since the adoption of the bill the sale OF
imprinted checks has praeticaly ceased.
one of its provisions is that the law re-
curing that all checks be stamped with a
revenue stamp is repealed. 1t Is definiteiy
known that the law will not go into enect
until July /, the ending of the fiscal year. =.
Last year st. Louis led all other cities Oh
the United States in the amount OF revenue
collected on smoking and chewing tobacco;
In round numbers the revenue collected
from this source by the local office last
year was $500. 600. more than half or the
gross receipts. The new bill provides Tor
u 20 per cent reduction in the tax on TINS
commodity, which will reduce the income
on tobacco alone at the st. Louis revenue
office by 81, 6t0,0N.
The reduction In the beer tax from s. to
SLIGO per barrel will also greatly AFFECT the
gross revenue receipts at this point. Beer
is second in the list of revenue producing
articles Of St. Louis. The reduction in the
tax on cigars and cigarettes will cause a
material cut in the revenue.
After July l it will not be necessary TO
place stamps on checks, certificates Of de-
post, promissory notes. money orders, biils
Of lading for export, express receipts. teie-
graph messages, certificates of damage,
~conveyances below $3.50. insurance poll
cies. leases. manifests, steamship passages
costing less than $50. power of attorney,
protest and warehouse receipts. Patent
medicines, perfumery and chewing gum Will
also be exempt from revenue war tax.

BACK FROM THE HONEYMOON.
Amsterdam Receives Queen VIII
helmina and the Prince Consort.

Amsterdam. March 5.-Queen Wilhelmina
and the Prince Consort entered this city in
state to-day. The royal party, arrived by
train at half-past II. and were received by
the principal authorities and conducted TO
the Royal Pavilion, where had gathered a
brilliant array Of officials. including the
Governor of the Province of Northern Hol-
land. INT high military. naval, judicial and
civil dignitaries.
The Burgomaster of Amsterdam delivered
an address of welcome.
The procession, in state carriages. and
escorted by troops, then traversed the
streets of the capital, which. in spite of
the rain, were packed with throngs Of en-
thusiastic subjects. The route to the
palace was lined by the civic guards and
troops Of the garrison. Salutes were fired
as the procession advanced, and the prog
ress of the royal party was signaled by
the ringing of church bells.
The Queen and the Prince Consort were
evidently greatly pleased at the en-
thusiasm of the reception, and bowed un-
ceasingly to the crowds along the line or
march.
At the palace, the Queen Mother awaited
her daughter. After this greeting, queen
wilhelmIna and the Prince Consort APP
peared Upon the palace balcony In response
to the vociferous cheers of the throng
which had been permitted to gather IN
front of the royal residences.
The rains b~edragsled the street decora-
TONS, and the preparations for to-nights
Examinations were hampered by the I'M
favorable weather.

Senate's Failure to Pass Harbor
Appropriation Will Cause Injury
to Mississippi Improvements.
MEN WILL BE OUT OF WORK.
Cessation of Work Between Here
and Cairo Will Entail Expense
to Government Estimated
at $1,000 900.

Government work on the Mississippi
River between St. Louis and Cairo has
been practically crippled by the failure Of
the Senate to pass the river and harbor bill.
About $500 men have been thrown out of
work. and the expense to the Government
in damage to unfinished work and the
tying up of fleets on the river between here
n Cairo will. 1t is estimated, amount to
more than sl,GW.00.
The action OF Senator Carter of Montana
in holding up the bill has caused much
common among river men and the inhab-
itants of towns on the Mississippi River
from st. Paul to the Gulf Of Mexico. 1t is
said by persons acquainted with the con-
ditions existing on the river that any delay
in work on the channel will be irremediable.
In the present instance the damage in
CURED will depend upon the action OF the
stream during the early spring and June
rises.
Colonel Edward Burr. Z. S. a, who is In
charge of the river between st. Louis and
Cairo. said yesterday that the appropria-
ton for his work had about run out. He
had sufficient money left to lay up the
various fleets at present in operation in
his district and to keep them in repair
for a year. There are no funds 20 carry
on the work in progress at the present
time. and all operations have been in
definitely suspended.
The only work on the Mississippi River
which will be carried on by the Govern
ment until a new appropriation is made
which can hardly be available before a year
from June, is that of removing snags. A
special fund is set aside for this kind of
work. which is entirely separate from the
regular river and harbor appropriation.
All dredging, mattress building. reinforcing
of banks and similar work will be aban-
doned.
w have reduced our entire force 20 the
lowest possible limit said Colonel Burr,
land 1t Is impossible 10 say definitely
trict will be renewed. During the working
months. which are from April to October,
this department employs from 1000 to 2,500
men. The failure by Congress to give us
duction of this force to watchmen and art
isans enough to keep the fleets in repair.
"The Office force is at present very low.
During the winter We lay OFF many OF
our draughtsmen and clerks. These will
not be re-employed until an appropriation
is made. Had the bill passed We would
prabably have received $500. 600. This sum-.
while small for the work. would have en-
abled us to carry on such work as has
been commenced and which will be dam
aged by neglect. The depreciation to fleets
in this district. II left idle. amounts to
about $4,000. 1t is impossible to stimat
the damage to unfinished work. That Will
depend largely upon the action Of the river.
year which we lose will cause damage
requiring years to remedy. There was no
river and harbor appropriation made last
year, but by economy the last appropria-
ton has lasted until the present time. Now
between here and Cairo. operations must
be suspended"

person in command of this party was Men.
ton Zubia. who at present has charge OF
the artillery at Bogota. Theophile Ortiz.
the son Of the owner Of the inn, was found
within and made prisoner.
Having ascertained that the young man s
father was a rebel, Zubia ordered him to be
tortured. He was finally, according TO Mr..
Putros. impaled by his chin on a hook
driven into the door, and his hands nailed
to the sides Of the entrance. In this way,
after a series of struggles. he soon died.
