ORDER AFFECTING DUTY
ON PHILIPPINE REMP
Tariff on Hemp to Be Paid
Before Sailing.
Refunded on Delivery at United States
Ports-TO Prevent Eva
sion of Law.

The Secretary OF War has issued an
important order to carry out the provis-
ions Of that part OF the Philippines tariff
act which exempts from export and i'm
port duties goods shipped directly from
the Philippines to the United States.
The order directs that export duties BE
collected on all such goods with the IN
Outstanding that the amounts collected
shall be refunded when evidence is pro-
duced that the goods were delivered at
ports in the United St1tes. This evidence
must be produced within eighteen months
after the shipment
It is believed 1T the War Department
that the United States viii control the
hemp market Of the world through the
application Of this order. which is merely
a safeguard % ensure the carrying out
Of the provision resembling the export
duty On Philippines goods sent to this
country London Is the present greatest
hemp market and controls the supply Of
that article for all the world Nearly all
the Manila hemp goes there. and rope
makers in this country have been obliged
20 secure their supplies from England
To Prevent Fraud
II was feared by the War Department
authorities that vessels might clear fiom
the Philippines for the United States. thus
not being required 10 pay the export duty
on hemp. and deliver their cargoes at
English ports .en route This would en-
able the London hemp market 10 dispose
Of supplies from the Philippines at prices
lower than they could be disposed a in
the United States. The order of the sec
rotary Of War, however. VIII prevent YES
sells bound for the United States from
landing hemp and other cargoes at foreign
ports without being obliged to forfeit the
deposits aggregating the export duties
made TO collectors Of customs in the Phil
ippines-
Among the provisions Of Secretary
Roots Oruer are the following
Provision for Refund.
"a shipper having paid export duties in
manner and force as hereinbefore pro-
yiGed shall recover the amount so paid
If within a period Of eighteen months from
the date Of such payment said shipper
| shall establish by competent evidence
taat ;he goods On which said export duties
were paid
Game directly from the Philippine
Islands 20 the United States
Were actually landed in the United
| States and mingled with the property
/ thereof.
Were admitted into the United states
free OF duty.
Were used and consumed in the Unit
cd States.
The provisions Of section or the
act OF Congress approved March s. 1902
reading. Coming directly from said ISL
ands 70 the United States is interpreted
| as meaning a continuous voyage in one
bottom Of goods dee Jared at the time OF
shipment to be destined for a port of the
I United States II Is not understood as
referring to the course actually taken BY
the vessel or the number and location
Of the ports at which said vessel may
touch en- route"

KNOWS OF NO BEEF TRUST.
Statement Repudiated at Smithfeld and
Farmers Scored for BackwaIdness.

LONDON, April Enquiries at Smith
field have not resulted in confirmation OF
the existence Of beef trust, the exist
ence Of which in America Is doubted here.
The statement that such a trust exists
here is Fepudiated.
The decline In American shipments is
attributed mainly TO the high price OF
American corn. which induced farmers 20
raise corn instead OF cattle.
Il is declared the formation Of a beef
trust I'm America or here would not affect
the supplies from Argentina and the
British colonies.
Some dealers condemn British farmers
for not keeping abreast Of the times and
for not adapting themselves to changed
circumstances. and declare that they
might otherwise be more prosperous.
