Brewers Will Save FLY
Cents On Every Barrel
After July

Contrary TO the expectations OF tho
retail liquor dealers. there VIII be no
reduction I'm the price of beer on July
1. This action was decided on by the
members OF the United States Brew
Iers' Association. which met in annual
convention in Saratoga on Wednesday.
On July 1 the cost to each
brewer will be 90 cents per barrel less
than at present in the internal revenue
tax paid. To the tax OF 81 por barrel
put on after the Civil War, and since
retained, another 81 was added for war
revenue purposes after tho Spanish
American thUlIble ensued. IL is three

be- removed. and the retailers OF beer
have been anticipating that tho brew
era would share so cents OF it with
them. as the whole tax was auded TO
the price OF the beer by most OF the
brewers when It was put on. Some
of them divided the tax later between
themselves and the saloonkeepers, but
others added the whole tax.

Fehrenbach brewing companies said
this morning that no increase was
made in the price TO retailers when the
last war tax was added. They also say
that labor and material has increased
in price during the past year. Although

between Camden and Dover. and which
in its earlier days had from six TO
seven hundred tents and cottages from

But for II Senate Could Adjourn at
Early Date-Ph Philippine Bill
in the House

Washington, June 16.-The senate
will meet at II o'clock each day during
the present week up TO and including
Thursday, in order to permit ample op-
portunity for discussion of the isthmian
canal bin prior 70 the voting on the
bill and amendments on Thursday. The
supporters of the Panama route express
great confidence in the success of the
Spooner bill.
Other measures which may be con-
sidered during the week II opportunity
permits are the London dock charge
bill and the pure food bill. There will
be a strong effort made to have the
Cuban reciprocity bill in readiness to
be made the unfinished business when
the canal bill shall have been disposed
of. 1t is expected that the Cuban COM
mittee will be prepared to report on
Wednesday or Thursday.
But for the Cuban bill, it is said the
final adjournment of the senate could
be secured at an early day. Only the
general deficiency bill of the entire list
of appropriation bills remains to be
acted on in the first stage. With the
passage OF the District of Columbia
bill by the senate Saturday, that body
disposed of the last of the supply bills
on its calendar, and as the house has
the deficiency bill before 1t there is
comparatively little to do in the way
of getting the appropriation bills
through. The naval bill. the army bill,
and the sundry civil bill are still in
conference, but no one believes an
agreement on them would be difficult
If an adjournment could be expedited
thereby.

Today is suspension day In the

land passed from existence as political
entities and the kingdom of Great Britain
took the place occupied by them. Since
then there has been one Victoria, one Will
liam and several Georges, but no Edward.
BY some oversight William was recognized
as the Fourth, but the matter should not
be permitted to continue and all good
Scotchmen will recognize in Edward, the
first of the name, king Of Great Britain,
but not king Of England or Scotland, as
there are no such countries known to the
world of today. Scotch history and Eng
fish history has ended. The countries have
passed into the same class as the king
doms OF Egypt and OF Rome. The history
Of these countries is dear to the hearts
OF the natives Of the lands and for senti-
mental reasons history should be kept
pure"
The agitation anent the correct number
to be borne by King Edward recalls the
effort OF Sir Walter Scot. in his Tales of
a Grandfather" to show that 1t is only as
a descendant OF the Stuarts, who In the
person Of James VI. of Scotland, came to
the throne OF England and Scotland, that
the present dynasty holds its position on
the British throne. and Of the efforts Of the
latter students to prove that oil of the
blood Of these same Stuarts in the veins
OF Edward, the present, would not be
sufficient to stain a cambria handkerchief.
