NEW TESTS For SUGAR
Will He Formally Promulgated
From Washington To-day.

From Washington To-day.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 5-The treas
ury department. has prepared the regu-
lations governing the sampling and
classification of imported sugars and
molasSes under the new tariff law and
they will be formally promulgated to-
morrow. One of the principal and most
important of the changes made in the
old regulations, which were made in
1883, is a provision requiring that the
"re-sampie" of sugars shall be taken
at the time the original sample is
taken. This provision has been eXpe-
dent to prevent any suspicion of ire
gularity. Many new provisions are
also included in the regulations with
the object of securing uniformity at
the different Laboratories at which
sugars are tested. AS soon as the
change can be made only the half
shadow polariscope will be employed
in making tests instead of the color
instruments now in use, and all instru-
ments and apparatus will be standard
lied by the officials of the coast and
geCdetic survey in order to secure uni
form results The tests for the CLASH
fication of sugars have been changed
SD that the average tests agreeing
within tWo-tenthS of l per cent shall
govern the classification. Under the
the lowest of two tests agreeing with
in three-tenths of a degree. This
change was made because the present
law provides for a sliding scale of du-
ties on fractions of a degree and be-
cause it was believed that this method
which follows the commercial practices
would be fairer to all concerned War
rant for this change was obtained from
an opinion rendered by the solicitor of
the treasury. All that portion of the
regulations applying to polarization
by chemists is new, and it is believed
by the department that it will give the
government the benefit of scientific
methods, which have greatly improved
since the act of 1888. The regulations
were prepared by a committee of ex-
perts which included the chemists of
the agricultural department, officers of
the internal revenue bureau and ex-
perts of the coast and geodetic survey

which it is proposed to hold next De-

derstanding on all questions at issue
separate wage scales are to be formu-
lated for each. mine. The scale is to
provide for the rate to be paid for
the entire year, and any special con-
cessions that are to be made are to
be agreed upon by the miners and the
operators and so specified in the scale.
The scale is to be an adjunct to the
uniformity agreement which is expect
ed to be in force. The proposition will
be made by the operators in the hope
of putting all the safeguards possible
against a probable strike. 1t is we'll
known that there are no two mines in
the entire district where the conditions
are exactly alike. The uniformity
agreement covers the general points,
but even with it in existence some OPP
orators would be subjected to difficult
ties, while others would have special
advantages. The scale is to cover all
these points, the primary object being
to avert differences, create a more
friendly feeling between the employers
and employees, and restore perfect har-
mony throughout the district.

dent Mckinley, and a partner in the
