Important to the Whisky Interests.
THE ATTORNEY GENERALS DECIsIoN-A CONsULrA-
TION TO BE HELD At THE TREASURY DEPARTMENT.
Representative Thompson, Of Kentucky, through
whose instrumentality the opinion of Attorney
General Brewster in relation to the expectation OF
whisky was procured, said to a STAR reporter
to-day that that opinion clearly does away with
any necessity for legislation. The opinion posi-
lively aff1rms that the Treasury department has
the power to make a regulation which will permit
distilled spirits to remain In tStillery warehouse
after the expiration OF three years from the date
OF entry therein upon the filing by the distiller or
owner OF the spirits OF declaration OF his purpose
to export the same. ME Thompson says the
trouble has been that after the owner OF whisky
filed his bond OF expectation, the spirits would be
taken from his warehouse and kept for months
at his exlense before being shipped abroad. He
says that Vie expense OF watching and caring for
the liquor between those periods often used up all
the profits.
In accordance with this decision, Secretary Nc
Culloch has invited members OF Congress and all
others interested to meet at the Treasury depart
ment Tomorrow morning to discuss the proposed
regulations
