Gossip from !, Washington.

Secretary Folger has made q decision fav-
orable 10 the brewing interest, on the ques.
ton of classification for important duties OF
kernals Of ice broken into fragments. He
holds that grain rice does not fall within

emit tariff, and is liable to duty only at 70
per cent. ad valorem.s This destroys the eff
forts of rice importers to create O monopoly
by increasing the duty on granulated rice
from half cent per pound to 2l-2 cents
per pound on, the argument that granulated
rice is composed largely of unbroken rice,
and should pay duty as whole rice.
