FOR TEA-DRINKERS
Importers Say the Act of March 2

Importers Say the Act of March e.,

4 New York, March 25.-suit has been
brought in the United States circuit court
against the collector of this port to contest
the constitutionality of the tea act .of
March 2, 1897, and also the validity of the
ruling Of the secretary Of 1.-The treasury
that teas can be prohibited from import,
apart. from any consideration of either
their purity or wholesomeness or fitness
for consumption. Furthermore, importers
have commenced action in the state courts
to recover all losses arising from rejection
of teas since 1897.
1t Is claimed that the act as construed by
the department is a violation Of the con
stitution, as it delegates to the secretary
of the treasury and a board Of seven tea
experts selected by him the power to de-
term1ne what the drinking qualities Of tea
imported shall be, and that the act de-
stroys property without due process of
law.

LOSSES OF RANGE CATTLE
Wildly Exaggerated, Says Tidrick

Special to The Journal
Sioux City. Iowa, March 25.-"Corres-
pondents along the Missouri river have
been exaggerating wildly in their stories
about the loss to live stock on the ranges
during the winter,ss said Charles D.
Tidrick Of Chamberlain, S. D., who was in
the city last night. 81 liye5swhere-. + see
the big cattiemen every day and know
that the loss this winter has not exceeded
the loss Of any one year in the past de-
cade. Eliminating the dogie animals, or
those brought to the ranges from other
states and in poor condition, the loss has
been the lightest In the history of the
ranges. The only real serious loss was
when about 800 Of Scotty Phillips cattle
went over bluff and were killed
mo, the officers have not captured
Jack Sully, yet," continued Mr.. Tidrick.
Several sheriffs went after him last
month; but don't think they wanted to
find him. When the authorities meet with
that desperate there is going to be some
body killed, unless they catch him with
out his shooting irons on, and that is be-
yond peradventure." = r' q - 80

TOO NEAR REVISION
Ways and Means rStalwRrts Stick to
-'r Sugar DiRerentiaI.


Washington, March 25.-President
Roosevelt again took UP the Cuban reci-
procity question to-day with a view to Sc
curing unanimity of action In the house.
Among his callers was Representative
Long of Kansas, the member Of the ways
and means committee in charge of the
tactical movements for reciprocity. Mr..
Long afterward conferred with Represen-
tative Morris OF Minnesota, who present
ed in detail the. amendment which the
opposition Is supporting to abolish the
differential on refined sugar. sy4E
. At present refined pays t95 per 100;
unreftned $1.s25. By taking off the diff
ferential, all sugars would pay the uni
form rate OF 81 1875 per 100. The present
suggestion is that modification Of the
Payne bill so as to make this change in
the differential, would probably bring
about an agreement. There Is no indica-
tion thus far of its acceptance, ways and
means members looking upon 1t as involv-
ing the first step toward a general re-
vision Of the tariff.
