TAX ON RE-lMPoRrED WHISKY
A Suit to Test Iause of the Mckinley
Tariff Bill.

LOUISVILLE, KY, April 5.-The Louis
willie Public Warehouse Company has
brought suit to secure the Interpretation of
the clause of the Mckinley tariff bill under
which re-imported whisky is taxed. At
present the tax is paid on the quantity of
whisky in the barrel at the time
1t is entered for importation. The
clause of the Mckinley bill says an import
withdrawn from bonded warehouse shall
pay duty on its weight at the time of with
drawal. But whisky pays by the gauge
and not Dy weight, and the question is,
whether being so reckoned, it will come
under the clause referred TO. As whisky
usually loses several gallons while lying in
the government warehouse. the difference
means several hundred thousand dollars
annually.
