ton is the difference that has arisen be
tween the union and n%on-union opera
tiyes. This difference threatens TO end
in open rupture and as many cases of
restitution are actually reported, no
doubt hundreds of %non-uniou operators
would take the first chance to make Il
break from the strikers and return to
work.

SIR CHARLES UPPER

Believes the Time is Ripe for Better
Understanding Between the United
States and Canada.
London, June 14-Sir Charles Tup-
per. the Canadian statesman, who has
just arrived here from Canada, is
quoted in an interview as discussing
lengthily the relations between Can
ada and the United States. He said:
Canada sympathizes very warmly
with the proposed reapproachment be-
tween Great Britain and the United
States. 1t has always been our desire
TO have the most friendly commercial
relations with the republic, but hith-
ert othe United States has not shown
any disposition to reciprocate. The
Mckinley and Dingley bills and the
alien labor laws presented conclusive
evidence of this point. | believe. how
ever, that the present is a most pro-
pitous time for the settlement of all
questions and in the changed TENDER
Of the American people, ! think they
can be approached with fair prospect
of Just settlement

The revenue officers are after the
saloon keepers who sought to evade
payment Of the increased beer tax I'M
der the war tariff bill by putting in a
big supply on Monday. All day Mon
day and Monday night brewers had
the biggest day in their history sup
plying the orders Of saloon keepers of
Wheeling and towns of the vicinity
who ordered enough beer to last them
for months ahead.
Nearly every saloon keeper stored his
cellar full and thought he was safe
from the revenue officers, but yesterday
representatives CT the government reve-
nue. office at Wheeling called on vari-
Gus saloon keepers in this city and
BenwOod and notified these saloon keep
ers that they would have to pay the in
creased tax of dollar On every barrel.
The revenue officer was in BenW0od
last night and gave notice that new
stamps would have to be put on every
barrel which the dealer had put in
stock. One saloon keeper alone had
nearly eighty barrels. Quite num-
Der had ordered this many and there are
few who will not have a large tax bill
to pay
A local saloon keeper yesterday stated
that the Reymann, Schmulbach, Pabst
and Belmont companies had all notified
their customers that the latter would
have to pay the tax. The Goebel com
pany is alleged to have sent word 70
all its customers that the price OF beer
would net be raised and that the tax
would be paid by the brewers. This
is expected to result in the prices be-
ing cut by the other brewers and to
compel the local and one other outside
firm to pay the tax or at least half OF 1t.
A number of the saloon keepers here
expect these firms to pay half OF the tax
anyway, and threaten if this IS not
done to patroniZe those breWerles who
will make this agreement. III the
brewers refuse to pay the tax it Is prob
able that the saloon keeper Will force
his customers to pay it by making the
drinks smaller or by increasing the
price per glass. Under the new law
passed by Congress, and which went
into effect yesterday, beer is taxed two
dollars a barrel and a discount of tx
per cent is allowed on stamps sold to
brewers.
