BIG ORDER FOR STEEL.
Australian Government Contract for
S2,OOO.OOO Worth of Pipes.

A special dispatch TO the Philadelphia
Press from Chicago, ILL.,, says: One-half the
largest foreign order for finished steel ever
sent to this country has been offered the
Illinois Steel Company. The order amounts
| to $2,CsO.Ooo, and is for water pipes to be
| used by the Australian government. The
Carnegie Company of Pittsburg will supply
half the amount. The Chicago firm may
contribute the balance, the only obstacle
being that the output of the many depart
ments of the plant for months to come has
been sold 1t il intimated the order will be
taken.
The Australian governments order is for
"a 600 tons of steel sheets, twenty-eight
feet long, to be rolled into pipe nine feet in
diameter They are to be used to supply
water to the Coolgardie mining district. In
this district, which is one of the hottest
deserts in the world, are located gold
mines reputed TO be fabulously rich. They
have been discovered during the last few
years, and several have been developed ex-
tensively, and are listed on the London
stock exchange. A great part of the ore IL
is said, requires only the ordinary stamp
the thirstiest of all kinds of machinery
and the water is procured In Coolgardie
only in limited quantities. IT has been sold
for drinking purposes in the new towns
throughout the district for a shilling a gal
Ion.
The result of this condition is that only
the richest mines can be worked. In parts
of United States ores carrying 81 to the
ton yield a profit. In Coolgardie ores car
rying $50 to 500 in free gold are considered
too low to work, SO costly is the water In
deed in cases water supply is more valu-
able than mine.
The Australian government appointed
commissions to devise a way to get water
to the mines. Several plans were presented
but all were rejected in favor of the con-
struction of a pipe line, twenty miles long
equipped with nine pumping stations, the
largest work of the kind ever planned

learned last night that there are three or
four other men who in turn may be asked
TO take the place. General Grcenc's refusal
will not make probable the appointment TO

General Greene, Colonel Roosevelt Senator

Company and his other business interests

the salary of superintendent of public
works is only $1,000.
Colonel Roosevelt preached General
Greene's appointment, and General Greene
responded by firmly stating the reasons
which had led him to decline. He said he

THE TAX ON BEER.
Not Applicable to That Purchased
Before June Ii.


Acting Attorney General Richards has
rendered an opinion III which he holds that
retail dealers are not required to pay the
additional tax of 81 per barrel on beer pur-
chased by them prior to June a. 1898, the
day the war revenue act went into effect,
and held by them on that date. In the
course of his opinion, after quoting the act,
Mr. Richards says:
IN view of all the facts | am disposed to
think that the tax is not intended to apply
to retail dealer. The law contains the
express provision that the tax shall be paid
by the brewer.
while it now provides that the tax shall
be paid on fermented liquors or manufac-
tured and stored in warehouse, this clear
ly means fcrmented liquors brewed or
manufactured and stored in warehouse by
the person liable for the tax, namely, the
brewer. Congress evidently had in mind
that, outside of the technical bonded brew
cry warehouse, where fermented liquors are
stored without attiXing the stamps, the
great brewing establishments have agen-
cies in the cities throughout the country,
where their liquors are stored and from
which they are distributed to the retail
trade. II the increase in the tax had not
been made applicable to liquors thus stored
in warehouse, the brewers in anticipation
of the Increase, could have removed i'm
mense quantities of liquors from their
breweries and bonded warehouses by pay
ing the old tax and held them in storage at
their agencies, awaiting the increase in
price which the imposition of the addi-
uonar tax might bring. To prevent this
Congress made the increase applicable to
liquors stored in warehouse, but it was
Ilquor stored in warehouse by the brewer
Another thing. The principal fermented
liquor sold in this country is beer 1t is
Wel-known fact that the stock of. beer
held by retail dealer is. comparatively
speaking. insignificant. Each day he is
supplied by the brewer or his agent The
few barrels which a retail dealer keeps as
his stock in trade could not properly in nv
opinion, be regarded as beer stored in
warehouse The place OF business of a re-
tan dealer in any commodity cannot prom
erly be termed a warehouse. Nor can the
stock in trade which is at hand and is con-
toners, be rightfully regarded as stored in
warehouse A warehouse is a place for
storing goods, not for selling them at re-
tail. The distinction is obvious
