WASHINGTON. Aug. 30. A. Anthony of
R. & II. T. Anthony , manufacturers of
photographic chemicals and mat rials , rf
New York , and James It. Davlcs , repre
senting the drug and chemical trade of New
York , were at the Treasury department to
day In the interest of a proper interpreta
tion and execution of section 'U of the new
tariffs act exempting from International
revenue tax alcohol used in the arts. Mr.
Anthony. In on Interview with Commis
sioner Miller , recalled the fact that alcohol
and ether arc Ihe two principal raw ma
terials In the manufacture of colludon , ex
tensively used for photographic purposes.
Consequently paper coated with colodan
emulsion , although superior to other kinds ,
cannot be inado as cheaply as other papers
by reason of the tax of tibout 400 per cent
now Imposed ubovo the cost of manufacture.
No other articl.of commerce , It la said , Is
luxeJ BO heavily , nnd therefore the claim Is
mnde that a gross Injustice la being done
this branch of trade. Jlr. Davles con
tended that tl.Is unjust discrimination In
tax against manufactures of chemicals had
worked infinite harm to that trade , ami both
lu and Mr. Anthony sugested to the com-
inlstloner that probably the best way to
prevent frauds being perpetrated by small
irresponslbla druggists , who vould take ad-
varlago of the law to put upon the market
vast quantities ot so-called medical prepara
tion , which In fact were nothing but adulter
ated low-grade whisky , would be to require
all articles In which free alcohol Is used to
bo manufactured In bonded warehouses umlsr
government supervision.
Commissioner Miller explained that the
department Is now carefully Investigating
the ( luestlon as to whether effective regula
tions cim be prepared that ulll regulate
the operation of the law so ns tn prevent
Innumerable frauds upon Ihn government.
The whole question would llkijly be settled
within the next four days.

LEXINGTON , Ky. , Aug. 30. A duel to
the death with knives occurred In Clark
county , near Boonesboro , yesterday , over the
scandal feature ot tha Ashland congressional
contest.
John King , a Brecklnrldgc man , living In
layette county , met on the highway his old
friend , George Cook , who lives in Clark
county. Cook tnld that nny woman wlfo went
to hear Brecklnrldge speak wns no bpttor
: lian a courtesan. King dismounted from his
: iorse. saying lit * wife and daughters had
ieard Brecklnrldgu , Cook Insisted It was a
shame. He also dismounted ,
Both drew knives nnd blood flowed freely
until Cook dropped dead.
King has escaped.
Elder W. J. McQarvy , an eminent in
structor on theological subjects In the bible
college of Kentucky university , nnd a leader
In tlie Christian church of the south , has
again taken up the cudgel against Colonel
Brccktnrldgc , using Evangelist Barnes' ser ;
jnon Sunday night as his text. Elder Mc-
Garvy Is out In a letter today denouncing
Barnes as a religious mountebank , who has
wandered from one church to another during
his remarkably checkered carter. In and
out of the pulpit. He holds up Barnes as a
man who has at various times pretended to
have received sanctlflcntion. tlie power to
heal by annolntnienl , and the power to absolve
the sins of those confessing to him. After
these humbugs were played out , Evangelist
Barnes pretended that the Lord watched over
him , even to the extent of keeping his
organ In tune while it was being J-lted over
mountain roads from one meeting to an
other , and as an evidence of his faith he
threw away hla spectacles and trusted to
the Lord lo see without them. Mr. Mc-
Garvy adds : "This experiment did not
last long. He proclaimed that he then
hnd faith enough to heal the sick , and that
ho would soon have cnsugh lo raise the
dead. After some years of a very noted
carcsr In Kentucky he went to India , and
wlillo there he had a revelation from the
Lord to the effect that the English people
are the twelve lost tribes of Israel and that
Queen Victoria Is the head of the true
church. He Immediately obtained mem
bership in the Episcopal church , but thai
church , like the Presbyterlsn , refused to
endorse his heresies by putting him IntJ the
ministry. "
Elder McGarvy follows Mr. Barnes in his
strange career after returning from India.
Tor years ha exercised remarkable Influence
In Kentucky , but his glory his departed
and ho can no longer obtain and hold the
vast audiences that once assembled to hear
him. Several years ago he left here to
make his homo on a small Island -off the
coast of Florida. The caustic letter con
cludes with a di&ciisslon cf biblical parallels
upon which Evangelist Barnes and others
have attempted to excuse Colonel Brccken-
ridgo's shortcomings. The closing para
graph Is as fellows :
"Let It be known orc and forever that
there Is nothing in God's holy book to ex
tenuate the- awful crimes proven against
Brecklnrldge and nothing to furnish an ex
cuse lo good people for seeking to re-elect
him. "

NEW YORK. Aug. 30. The applications
for withdrawals yesterday nt the custom
house in this city because of the new tariff
bill numbered nbout 060. , The receipts at
the end of the day were something like $ GOO-
000. Everything worked smoothly. The day
before the McKlnley bill became n law $2-
500COO were taken In. Many protests have
been Hied by the brokers with the liw d vision
because of the workings , of the new law.
When the McKlnley bill was passed five
months' time was allowed the brokers In
which to arrange matters for their customers.
In this Instance they were given scarcely
forty-eight hours notice and are expected to
acocmpllsh as much In that time as they did
under the McKlnley bill.
Deputy Collector Phelps oald he feared
section G ot the new la * wns going to cause
n deal of trouble , ' 'you see , It provides that
nil articles brought into this country. " said
he , "must be marked or branded In legible
English words In a manner so as to Indicate
the country of their origin and the quantity
of their contents. If not properly marked
the contents must be re-examined nnd re
appraised. This means that all quart bottles
of wine will have to bo re-appraised , for
a quart bottle of wine never contains more
Ihan a fifth of a gallon. . Then , again , If a
house be consigned 500 'dozen needles and
there should Be one necdlt , more or less , ac
cording to section E wo Will have to go over
the cabe of needles to get the thing straight.
The result will be the greatest confusion mid
business will be brought to a standstill. "
Thus far , however , everything lias gone
smoothly.

NEW YORK , Aug. 30. Receipts at the
custom house for the first day under the new
tariff foot up larger than for the whole of
Hie preceding year. This Is the result of the
change In the tariff law. Three hundred cus
tom house brokers "reclVed licenses , and
every one of the 300 had customers who
wanted their goods early In the day. The
consequence wns Hint tbe brokers were
rushed to get the gods [ entered. In order
to accomplish that , a Jiumber of brokers
made It worth the while of the clerks In the
custom houses to remain after hours and en
ter their goods. None of Ihe brokers' offices
closed before midnight. The custom house
dears were opened halt , an hour earlier than
usual. Seven hundred withdrawals were en
tered , but all this could not be handled , and

las been seen off Bocos del Toro and several
irotnlnent Nlcaraguan refugees have simul
taneously disappeared , giving rise to a report
that another move against Maya will begin
at Mosquito. Nicaraguans and Indians here
who had been reduced to beggary are now
well supplied with funds and are purchasing
arms and ammunition In largo quantities.
The popular bcliet is that the revolt on the >
coast is only temporarily ended , for the
- itles committed have stirred the people
Lo demand vengeance and prominent exiled
Nicaraguans are expected to return to take
part In a new and general movement to over
throw Zelayu nnd his friends.
There hs no doubt the action of the United
States gurernment In refusing protection to
any of Us citizens at Blucflelds who took part
In the recent Insurrection has emboldened
Nicaraguans who are manufacturing evidence
by perjury agalnat Americans. Able counsel
has been secured for the British and Ameri
can prisoners , who will claim the action
against them Is Illegal. It Is learned that
since the government of Nicaragua Issued
the edict for the banishment of the Bluo-
flelds prisoners' United States .Minister UaK'or ,
acting under instructions from the State de
partment , entered a vigorous protest against
the manner of arrest and the subsequent
carrying of American citizens from Blue-
fields tp Nicaragua. Minister Baker also Oe.
mantled the Immediate trial of the prisoners ,
stipulating that they should have ample
means of defense. Ths Nlcaraguan govern
ment was also informed that If nil oC the e
conditions were not compiled with the United
States would demand the Immediate release
of the prisoners.
A special from Blueflelds says the Nicara
guans have stopped'the flight of refugees
from the Mosquito reservation anil clear
ances are refused to foreign craft engaged

CLEVELAND , O. , Aug. SO.-Thc Iron
Tradi ; Review says : The feeling among
authorities lu the iron trade is Hint no
higher basis of values la to be seen irt the
Immediate future. No matter what the
exact relation between foreign selling prices
with the new tariff added and those at
home , the liniirt-bsloii Is widespread that
consumers will get lower prices now , and
there Is no willingness to pay un advance.
If a permanently higher basis should be
established here nnd there , Ihe belief Is
thai It will not come until all the possibil
ities of the new duly In refeience to Hie
prodiietH in ( mention have been fully dem
onstrated. The price of besscmer pig In
the Plltsbitrg and Wheeling districts for
npdt delivery Is still linn ut fit. Bujers
and sellers are apart In tlielr Ideas ns to
long contracts , nnd Hie same situation a-u-
tains us tu billets. Western foundries are
coming up faster from the extremedepnH -
slon of thu past half year than those In Hie
east , but In all parts of the country the re
ports from this Industry are more encour-
ugliiK. Kiibtem lion mills are all busy
on small omlrs. In structural steel there
is a good prospect. Other business In the
same line ulll develop enily In the fall.
Wrought Iron pipe woika have taken some
good orderH , but prices me nut well main
tained. Sheet mills arc not co well em
ployed , outside of orders for galvanized.
Tlie new tariff makes another conference
between mill owners and the Amalgamated

in proportion tu Hie tariff HUH will be In
sisted upon by manufacturers of block

ference by Ilio llrltisli nml Ocrninn war
ships stnlloncd at Apia. Tito ( If tails are
given In the following special correspondence
tu I lie Associated press :
APIA , Samoa , Aug. 10. The warships ot
Oreut Ilrltalu niul Oermaiiy have at last
taken notion with a view to ending the native -
tivo disturbances which have heretofore np-
peurcd to bo Interminable. Two skirmishes
had taken place between the warring tribes ,
resulting lu the killing of eight or ten na
tives ami the wounding of many more , lio-
Bldes the natives had become short of food ,
not having planted or looked nfter their
crops , and they had taken to stealing from
foreigners throughout tlio Islands. Their
mode of living had produced n great Ocal of
Illness , much suffering and many deaths ,
so that In tlio Interests of common human
ity the Interference- the powcr.s became ,
absolutely ncccssaiy. Something had to lie-
done tu put u stop to tlio so-culled warfare.
U was with this end In view that the dip
lomatic and naval cflicers held several con
ferences. The ulllmnto result was a resolu
tion. to notify the rebels thai they must dis
perse from their fortified stronghold at
Latuanuu or suffer a shelling from the- gun 3
ot the warships. On Krlday. August 10 ,
tlie llrltlsh warship Curiieoa and the German
.warship lluzzanl left Apia for Lalunnuu.
When they arrived there the rebel chiefs
wcro called on board the gunboats and In
formed that their stronghold would be bom
barded at U o'clock on the following morn
ing. During Krlday night , liowevfr , the
rebels evacuated the fort. On Saturday
morning the fortifications were shelled by
the warships and nil but destroyed. Tha
king's wnrrlora had been Bent overland to cooperate -
operate with the gunboats In the attack on
the rebels.
When the bombarding dinners had finished
their work King Malletoa's warriors wcro
signalled to advance and occupy the de
serted position. Before the rebel warriors
evacuated Latuanuu they set flro to all ( ho
huts In the vicinity , as well as to their fort.
the destruction uf which the bombardons
finished , and destroyed nil the bread fruit
trees which were griwlng near. The naval
authorities again communicated with the
rebel chiefs and ordered them to disperse
end surrender llielr lilies. Instead of obey
ing the mandate , however , the rebel band
moved off toward Alfuafata , which la less
than fifteen miles from Apia , and It was
decided to again advance upon them. On
Sunday morn ng the rebels and the king's
warriors , who numbered fully COO , cama
together at Luillutl. The rebels made tha
attack nnd killed and wounded several ot
Malletoa's men. During nil cf Sunday thorn
\sus desultory fighting nnd the nival com
manders resolved to again attack the wbela
and deal with them summarily.
WARSHIPS Df DEADLY WORK.
Early on Monday morning , August 13 , the
Curncoa and Huzzird changed tlielr posi
tions nnd nguln opened fire upon the rebels ,
killing and wounding n largo number.
Simultaneously the king's warriors attacked
them on the shore. In the light the king
lost six killed and several wounded , At
this writing It Is Impcsslblc to obtain a re
liable estimate of the rebel ] : ss , but U la
known to have been heavy. The guns on
the warships did deadly execution. On
.Monday evening ths rebels sued for peace.
Their ch'efs were ordered to came on board
the Curacoa on the following ( Uy. They
obeyed the order and madu promises of oin-
plete submission to Malletoa's rule , agreeing
to pay their taxes , return to their homes
and to deliver tip 100 rifles.
Immediately after this meeting the Cura
coa steamed away toward Apia , believing
that the trouble wns over. The Curncoa'a '
commander was eager to catch iho mall
steamer Mnriposa that he m ght report the
result of his operation to the British govern
ment. The Buzzard remained at the scene
of action to receive tha rifles from the rebels
nnd to see that they carried out their prom
ise. Great wns the surprise of the com
mander of the Curacoa when , at midnight
last night , the. Hii7.zt.nl signalled thai Chief
Tamnhcse , leader of the Aatux rebels , hod.
joined the Atua party w th over 100 Aana
men and that these combined forces had
attacked the king's warriors. Throughout
the night the roar tf tha Buzzard's guns
could bo heard. This morning the Curacoa
got under way again and left for the scene
of the trouble. Captain ( lib sun lelt. de
termined to demand a complete surrender
of the rebels , and unless the rebels are sub
missive the slaughter will undoubtedly bo
terrible , ns his gunners will flro to kill. It
Is now certain that unless vlgorciis actlws
Is taken the position of the foreigners hero
will be critical.
At the hour of the sailing of the Mnri
posa It Is reported the rebels have made
a complete surrender , but the rumor lacks
confirmation.
