THE BREWERY LOCKOUT.
Owners VIII Not Make Any Change
in Their Position

The owners of the various breweries in
this city and Alexandria held a conference
this morning. at the office of Mr.. I, To.
briner. and talked over the present condi-
ton of the trouble between themselves
and Gambrinus Assembly, and decided that
there was no reason to make any change in
the stand they took several days ago.
The union engineers employed in all the
breweries, as predicted in The Star of
last evening. would be the case, were called
from their positions yesterday afternoon
by the assembly to which they belong. and
they Immediately responded tn, cir places
have already been filled by non-union mon
Both s'deS appear to be preparing for a
long and bitter contest. The Iocked-out
men declare their intention to leave mo
stone unturned to injure the breweries and
committee will tonight visit the Rottlers'
Assembly and ask the members to ref,1sa
to handle the boycotted beer. There are
many bottlers here who do not belong tn the
Union, but the members of the latter ay-
press their belief that the non-union men
will stand by them in this conflict.
There are now no union men at worl, in
any of the breweries except those who ara
making improvements at Heurich's and
there is not much doubt that they will aIso
be called off. The locked-out men are daily
calling on the members of the various
crafts of organized labor throughout the

ADDITIONAL REVENUE CUTTERS.
Senator Cul1Om Introduces Bills Pro-
viling for Their Construction.


Wiling for Their Construction.
Senator CuIlom today introduced two
bills, one for the construction of two steam
revenue cutters for service on the great
lakes. and the other for two similar ves-
sells for service on the Pacific coast. The
cost of the cutters for the lakes is limited
to S200OO0 each, and the others to $780, 600
each
In presenting the bills Mr.. Cullom had
read letter from Assistant Secretary of
the Treasury Hamlin, in reply to inquiries
from himself, in which Mr.. Hamlin said:
1T is the opinion of the department that at
least two revenue cutters, additional to
the one now being constructed at Cieve-
land. Ohio. should be provided for service
en- the great lakes.
Your suggestion that several good ves-
sells should be provided for lake service is
in perfect accord with the views of the de-
partment''
Mr.. Hanllin also recommends an addi-
t,onal number of cutters for service on the
Pacific coast. 1.-THE vessels now there
are" he says, "all very old and obsolete
type of construction, all Of them too small
t. meet the service required of them. Yes
sells required for service on the Pacific
coast should be of size, general dimensions
and capacity to enable them to take and
keep the sea under all conditions, with a
cruising radius Of not less than 300 miles.

The House ways and means committee be

system Of appraising imports. with a view

Representative Draper of Massachusetts, to
prevent underyalua lions. Messrs Somer-

praiser5 made statements to the commit
tee According to Mr.. Somerville the chief
trouble In making appraisals concerns two
classes OF goods-goods consigned to agents
OF foreign firms and others and goods which
nave no established market values, such as
the stocks of bankrupt firms. The tendency
OF the consignment business, he declared
was to drive purchasers from the field. and
might, II 1t continues to increase, supplant
an other mPthods of business. Mr.. Lunt
described the difficulties of making appraise-
ments, which arise from purchases made
In different quantities. Some clothing firms
In the United States take the whole outnut
ot Enghsh factories for season, while
others buy in small quantities, yet a differ
ence OF per cent in duties might mean the
difference between doing business and bank
ruptcy to them.
Mr. Lunt advised that the penalties now
imposed for differentiation instead of a
penalty be made an additional duty Pen
eltles are now frequently RENTED by the
department, and could not be enforced in

thought that an additional duty not to ex-

not approve of that section of the nro-

Prices Uniformly Advanced This
Morning.
LONDOA'S APPARENT INDIFFERENCE
It Prevented Bear Movement by
Foreign Houses.
GENERAL MARKET REPORTS

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NEW YORK. January s.-Prices were
| uniformly advanced this morning as the
result of decided improvement in the
general speculative undertone London's
| apparent Indifference to the serious COM
riications in the South African situation
prevented any hostile movement against
values on the part OF foreign houses.
From strong opening level prices were
marked up beyond fractional limits on a
moderate demand from legitimate buyers.
A careful inspection of the market dis
closes the fact that the floating supply of
stock is considerably less than at any time
in several years. The risks Of short SELL
ing at the present level are consequently
| increased in direct proportion to the de-
crease in the facilities for making de-
IIveries.
The market cannot be expected to assume
| an aggressive, upward tone, however,
| while the fate of the new government loan
lacks official confirmation. The street Is
confident that the original syndicate VIII
get the bonds. and is satisfied with the
prospect, but the cautious operator will
hold aloof until the final announcement is
made. During this period Of doubt inven-
ton will likely be rampant and rallies and
reac tions will succeed each other in rapid
succession.
The preference Of the street at the mo-
ment is strongly favorable to purchases
on all setbacks. Sales on all rallies have
heretofore been regarded as the better
policy, but the situation no longer justifies
the course, except. perhaps, among profess
SIGNALS.
The market for foreign exchange was
somewhat more easy in tone, as the result
of a slight falling OF In the demand and
an increase in the supply OF commercial
drawings.
The deposit of half million gold at the
subtreasury by a local bank was announced
during the day, emphasizing recent argt,-
ments as to the willingness of financial in
Stitutiors to assist the government in times
of emergency. There are, however, evil
dences Of the need of such assistance, the
disposition to hoard gold being quite pro-
nounced IN some quarters. As long as the
belief prevails that the new bonds can he
gold in varying amounts will be taken from
the subtreasury. The syndicate so called,

financing Of the entire transaction, Wash
1nSton reports to the contrary notwith-
standing.
Money loaned at per cent and is to be
had on collateral less severely scrutinized
thai formerly.
The Senate caucus on the tariff bill is re-
lied upon to be productive OF beneficial re-
suits. The increase of revenue by natural
| would do more for the situation than any
one single act of legislation.
The market sold of fractionally under
proht-taking sales around delivery hour and
finally relapsed into dullness. Traders con-
tinue in control of the situation, but lower
prices will result iE some disputng of their
right to dominate and determine values.

Proposition to Wipe All Record Of
Them From the Public Books.
Congressman Bartlett Of New York, who
was one of the democrats in the last Con-
gTess who opposed the income tax features
of the Wilson bill. will endeavor to secure
legislation by which all record of the in
come tax returns which relate to private
business may be erased from the records
of the government. While the law made
stringent provisions to prevent any in
formation being secured from the Treas
ury Department. Mr.. Bartlett will try to
provide additional safeguards which will
make 1T impossible for any records to be-
come known in the future. He will intro
d-ice bill to direct the commissioner of in
ternal revenue to return to the persons or
corporations who filed them upon their de-
mand. The bill will also require the de-
struction. Of all such lists left on file and
