A SCHEME oF THE WHISKY MEN
RalIying to Rush Through Bill Whose
Real Intent VIII be x art IN, tl,n s1,nan


RalIying to Rush Through Bill Whose
Real Intent win be Kept In the Shade.
WASHINGTON, March 2S.-The whisky
men have not given up all hope because
Of their defeat yesterday. They still think
that there is chance to secure the relief
they desire through the passage of House
bill No. 2l82, which bears the apparently
innocent title, "a bill to consolidate the
internal and customs collection districts
in each State and Territory, and for other
purposes" This measure, which will be
pushed at once by the friends of the bond
ed period extension scheme, provides that
after the Both day of June next all inter-
nal revenue and customs districts as they
now exist in each State and Territory
shall be consolidated into one district in
each State. After prescribing the num-
Der and duties of the officials
to be employed, together with the com
pensatiOn that shall be paid, the meaning
of the words "Other purposes in the title of
the bill is discovered"
THE HIDDEN OBJECT.
Section nine reads that the tax on all
distilled spirits hereafter entered for de-
posit in distillery warehouse or in special
bonded warehouse or remaining in such
warehouse at the time of the passage Of
Jnls act snail be payable before and at the
time OF sale and withdrawal therefrom ,ex-
cept in cases of Withdrawals therefrom
without payment Of the tax as now au-
thorized by law. The bill is introduced by
Representative Philip Thompson, Of
Kentucky, who expects that the
scheme of consolidation of the
customs and internal revenue dis
trlcts, which is made to appear as the
main purpose of the bill, will win to its
support number of votes that would
not otherwise favor the measure. The
whisky men are quietly at work Organiz-
ing their forces, and they will endeavor to
rush the bill through without allowing
their opponents sufficient opportunity to
thoroughly master its contents.
LITTLE ENCOURAGEMENT FOR THE
BANKERS.
Mr.. Thompson. of Kentucky, will in
trOduce next Monday a resolution de-
claring it inexpedient to reduce the
whisky tax this session. The object of
the resolution is to reassure bankers who
have loaned money on whisky IN bond.

NEWSPAPER COPYRIGHT.
Little Probability that it Will be Fa.
YOred by the Committee.

Little Probability that it Will be Fa-
YOred by the Committee.
WASHINGTON, March 2S.-Henry Wat
tersOn appeared before the House judi
ciary Committee to-day in support of the
news copyright bill. He argued that the
object of the bill was to prevent piracy,
and that placing the limit of time during
which the copyright shall hold would not
prevent an afternoon paper copying from
morning paper, or vice versa. Mr.. Wat
terson holds that news collected by the
Associated Press and by the principal
dailies Is property, and that it should be
protected.
1t was urged by a member that the
government cannot patent a fact, and
while 1t is true that news collected bv a
newspaper is property so long as it re-
mains unpublished, the minute it comes
from the press and is sold as newspaper
it is the property Of every person who
chooses to use it as such. A member of
the Judiciary Committee says that the
committee, if it reports the bill at all.
will report it adversely, but the chances
are that no report will be made.

Committee work Almost useless.

WASHINGTON, March 2S.-The COM
mittees of the House are now doing but
little work. This is due to the apparent
fact that owing to the cumbrous condi-
tion of the calendar there is but little
chance Of bills hereafter reported being
acted upon, except by unanimous con-
sent, which is very hard to get. There
will from now on be lively skirmish for
precedence among the five hundred bills
already tavorably reported. Net one-half
of these bills will get through. 1t is not,
therefore, much further use for the com
mittee to continue grinding cut bills.
