A WHISKY DECISION.
Collector at Detroit is Sustained by
Department r

The Treasury Department has decided a
case involving the right OF a citizen Of the
United States to import whisky from Cana
da in certain sized packages. 1t appears
that Canada prohibits the importation Of
whisky into that country I'm casks or bar
rels Of a less capacity than 100 gallons.
The tariff act Of the United States approved
July -, 1897, provides that any spirituons
liquors imported into the United States In
any sized package Of or from any country
under whose laws similar sized packages
are denied entrance into that country shall
be forfeited to the United States.
In the case in question Detroit dealer
imported a ntygallon cask OF Scotch
whisky from BelleviIle. Ont, which was
promptly seized by the United States col
lector at Detroit. The contention was that
the act Of 1897 applied only to the country
of origin (Scotland). The department holds
to the contrary and finds that the wording
Of the act "of or from any country" etc,
makes 1t apply in this instance to the Do
minion OF Canada.

Committee on Rules Considers Propos
ed Change in Rural Free Delivery.

The House committee on rules met today
to consider the advisability of a special rule
in connection with the proposed changes OF
the rural free delivery system in the post
office appropriation bill. This subject Will
come up in "A few days and there is ques-
ton as to whether the change of rural
carriers from the salary to the contract
system can be considered on an approprla-
ton bill unless a special rule is framed
For the present, however. there Will be no
action. as it was decided to await the de-
veiopments of the debate.
The inaction of the committee on the
proposed rule covering rural free delivery
changes was regarded as equivalent to
defeat of the proposel rule. Chairman Loud
of the post office committee took this view.
Under these circumstances it is not expect
ed that the proposed rural carrier changes
will be carried out unless a special bill is
framed for that purpose.
The committee has not yet considered the
recent request of eighty-seven of the repub-
lican members who met in caucus and ask
ed for special committee to investigate
