Of New South Wales the climate is as
cold as that OF Canada, and one town
has no communication for months ex-

Queensland there is almost tropical

Annther Tariff Complication.

WASHINGTON, Oct. l6. -- Another
complication has arson regarding the 1,s
free alcohol section of the new tarl'l
bill. Secretary Carlisle, owing to the
failure of congress to make the nee
essary appropriation, is unable TO put
the law into effect, Notwithstanding
the secretary's decision, it is con-
tended that alcohol used in the arts
etc. has been free since Aug. 70.
Users of alcohol in medicine and the
arts want to know whether they arc
violating the law in removing the
revenue stamps from the empty par
rels. If they do not they will nave
no evidence upon which to bas'
claims against the government Tor tn
return OF duty paid since the lay
went into effect. On the other hand
as the law now stands, they are liaol
to heavy penalties for not destroyin
the stamps when the barrels az
emptied.
