BoTTLING WHISKY IN BOND.
\ DiStiIIer Says 1t Has Resulted In
Good Sales Abroad.

The export trade in American whistles
has been gradually increasing year
by year. especially since the pass
age Of the law allowing dis
uuers to bottle whisky in bond. -
said Rudy @. GiIwosky a leading distilIer.
al the Raleigh last night Prior to the
passage Of the law that allowed Us to bot
tie our goods in bond. ne added. very
little case goods were exported. because
We could only export in the original pack
age in bulk without having to pay the in
ternal revenue tax and. hence It was
that Americans travelling abccs.d experi-
eneed much difficulty in obtaining the
leading brands of American whistles in
quart bottles When we had to pay the
internal revenue tax on all case goods ex-
ported it made the price of a bottle Of
whisky rather high, and thus we never
could make much Roadway in the foreign
markets. But all this is changed now.
Our Iedaing brands &C bottled goods are he
coming exceedingly popular on the other
side of the Atlantic, and we can compete
with any country
Under the law that provides for she bot
ting of whisky in bond the consumer and
the distilIer are protected. in that on the
neck OF each bottle is a Government
stamp. which guarantees the age and
proof Of the whisky, and also with the
guarantee that the whisky is bottled IN
der the supervision of the United States
Government That little stamp. which
costs Us 2 cents, has more than trebled
the export trade in American WHISTLES
during the past four years.
Now an American travelling abroad
can purchase his favoTite brand for about
the same price he pays in this country
The reason Canadian whistles have had
such run ia the United States is because
they are bottled under Government SUPER
vision. and each bottle has stamp across
its mouth guaranteeing that fact

War in HIanchuria-

Il would be hard to tell what measure
Of Importance to attach to the news Of
Chinese military activity in Manchuria,
which naturally reaches US only by way
of St Petersburg. If the facts are not
purposely exaggerated for political or
diplomatic objects, II would seem to be
q fair inference that the Chinese Court
has been induced to take a stand
against Russia, and, in that case, prob
ably at the instance of England and
Japan. 1t may be convenient TO call the
forces engaged in creating trouble in
the province Boxers but the reports
of their movements, arms. and equip
7nent so to show that they are Chinese
regular troops. They are said to be
strongly entrencted at three points Gov

the northwest, near Kulo. there recent
IL were six thousand, under the former
Governor of AIoukden: but this force
has been defeated by the Russian Gen
traI Zerpinsky and its commander taken
prisoner. Near the Mongolia frontier
there are nine thousand Chinese sol
djers under General Schu-
can all this mean that the Chinese
Government has privately complied
with the demand Of Japan and sent
troops into BIanchuria TO restore or
der" and perhaps incidentally to try
10 drive out the RUssians2 How large
a force the Chinese may have in Man
churia does not appear. Today's des-
patches would seem to account for not
less than forty thousand, but there may
be many more. Difficulties Of transport
aside, the Russians are probably strong
enough TO clean up fifty thousand Chi
nese without much difficulty. That is
not, however, a prime consideration.
The serious question is: If there is to
be regular war between China and
Russia in Manchuria, how is Japan to
keep or be kept out OF the conflict No
body appears to be ready with an an
swer- The situation is serious and
promises TO be increasingly exciting.

export figure is as yet small compared

THE COST OF CABLEGRAMs,
Reduction of Rates Between BRAZIL

General at Rio de Janeiro, writes to the
State Department that improvements Of
AT important character. materially affect

cation between Brazil and the United

Brazilian Gable Company
As a result of the new line 0Deaed by
the Commercial Cable Company from New

with the line from Brazil via Lisbon Mr.
Seeger. adds messages can now be sent
without the delays incident to the crush
OF business in the London offices. which
formerly had TO handle all the Brazil COM
munications- The managers of the large
coffee houses here who use the service
constantly in their business. say that the
new lines have proved very beneficial. In
addition to the increased facilities. an ad-
vantage has been gained in the cost of
transmission The rates lave been reduced
on an average % per cent. Formerly. the
charge per word from Rio de Janeiro to
New York was nearly 81 80: now il Is
about 81. The average time for a word in
transmission between tn two places is
from eighteen TO twenty-five minutes
Messages have come through in twelve
minutes. The company sends all messages
by Lisbon and the Commercial Cable Com
pany's line, unless another route is speci-
fled by the sender
The consolidated company operating
here under the name Of the Western Cable
Company is union of the Western Braz-
lian and the Brazilian Submarine. 1t has
three cables from Pernambuco to Rio de
Janerio two from PCTnambucO TO Lisbon
Connections are made with all the import
ant ports from Para TO Montevideo. The
charges per word are based on the aver
age rate of exchange for every three
months. as determined by the Brazilian
Government At present it is 800 refs to
