jew and that he was trying TO make Christians
OF their children. II had been his habit on tho
arrival of tho children to examine their arms

Rect SUGAR REFINERs EXEMPT.

They Will Not Have to Pay the Tax on Gross
Receipts of Sugar Refining Corporations.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 4.-Thc Commissioner Of
Internal Revenue to-day made a ruling of great
interest TO the beet sugar manufacturers Of the
West. In that 1t practically eXempts them from
taxation under the section Of the War Revenue
act imposing a tax of onc-qunrter of ! per
cent. on gross receipts in excess of S250,0O0
per year Of corporations engaged in the bust
ness OF refining sugar. He decides that Every
person. firm, corporation. or company carving
on. or doing business Of refining sugar applies
only 10 those buying tho raw sugar and reiln-
Ing II, and not 10. those who manufacture raw
sugar and also refine II. Thus tho beet sugar
corporations. which produce, refined sugar
from bcets. and some factories in Louisiana
which make q low grade Of refined sugar from
cane. are under this decision exempt from tho
tax, even though their yearly gross receipts are
In excess of S250.OOO., This decision IL some.

rulings by the department with regard TO

RUsSIA'S NAVAL PLANS.

She Is Likely TO Cancel Her Orders for
Battleships to BE Built in America.
Special Gable DHpdteh to THE Bun.
LONDON. Aug. A despatch TO the Standard
from Moscow. referring to the decrease ordered
in the Russian naval expenditure. says that
1t is connected with tho British naval vote and
the successes Of the United States. Russia
already has a number OF ironclads building in
American yards. and belief in the Anglo-Ameri-
can understanding still prevails in Russia.
Under the circumstances 1t Is conceivable
that Russia is unwilling to carry too many eggs
in one basket. 1t is probable that the orders
for Russian battleships which 1t was intended
to place in America will now DO placed in
France. 1t appears. however. that nothing def
mite has yet been done,
