BRoMwELL REVENUE BILL.
Distillers Given a Hearing Before
the House Committee.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.-The sub
committee on internal revenue of the
Committee on Ways and Means gave a
hearing to-day to George w. Harris,
representing the Kentucky distillers;
]. E. Mcnamara of w. w. Johnson &c
Co., Cincinnati; J. H Holmes of Cleve-
land, ]. z. Pontfriest Of Pittsburg and
S. j. Lanahan of Baltimore who ap-
peared to advocate the passage of the
Bromwell bill, extending the period in
which the whisky in bond can be re-
gauged from four to eight years.
The contention of the delegation and
the principal spokesman, Mr.. Harris,
was that both the Government and the
distiller would be benefited by this ex-
tension. Mr.. Harris asserted that the
Government had lost S1OO,0000O0 in
revenue in the last four years from the
Kentucky distillers alone, owing to the
reduction of production.

other proposition to the Spreckels, who

Correspondence Relating to Ger
many's Action.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.-The State
Department to-day sent to the Senate
the correspondece with Germany re-
garding exclusion of American fruits.
1t shows that ambassador White and
the State Department both took vigor-
Gus and prompt steps on learning of Ger
manys action, and that Germany dis
avowed any intention to avert competi-
ton, saying it merely intended to pre-
vent the introduction Of infected ap-
pies.
Secretary Sherman sums it UP by say
ing: From the foregoing report it will
be seen that action by this Government
and by its diplomatic representative at
Berlin for the protection Of all legitimate
commercial and exporting interests in
juriously affected by the German pro-
hibition was prompt and effective and
that, as the matter now stands, the ad-
mission of American fresh fruits into
Germany has been secured in all cases.
