HAVANA, March 19.-President Palma
was to-day informed of the ratification by
the United States Senate of the Cuban reci-
procity treaty. He expressed his gratifica-
ton at this action and added that the num-
Der of yeas was not greater than he had
anticipated. He said that while the news OF
an earlier special session OF the House
would be welcome the reported intention OF
President Roosevelt to call special ses-
sion in autumn would allow the treaty the
desired opportunity for discussion and &C.
ton.
The action of the Senate renews the hopes
of business men that satisfactory ar
rangement of rates and duties eventually
will be reached. The conclusion OF a per,
manent treaty awaits only the decision OF
the United States government as to whether
or not il will claim sovereignty over the
Isle of Pines. There is no doubt here that

WASHINGTON, March l9-When Con-

November. the members who advocate tar
III revision will be confronted with a prop
osition of great Importance 10 the manufac-
turers of the United States which. If car
ried out would make any general revi-
sion OF the tariff impracticable. This is to
make alcohol used in the arts free OF the
internal revenue tax. If this is done il
will cost the government about $4,000. coo
year in revenue. Years ago Congress pro-
vided rebate equal to the tax. but 1t was
found at that time impossible TO provide
treasury regula tons TO prevent fraud. II
was then deemed impossible to distinguish
between alcohol used In the arts and that
used for other purposes. IL Is thought that
this dificulty can be overcome II manu-
facturers are enabled TO get alcohol free OF
tax they will be able TO manufacture soap.
perfumes, hats, etc, on an equality with
the manufacturers of Europe.
There are three methods in use abroad
for preventing fraud by the alleged use
OF alcohol in the arts when IL is not so
used. In Switzerland the perfumery man
has a monopoly of the manufacture of
alcohol. He gives the ingredients 10 be
used. The official mixes IL and makes a
concession in the price OF alcohol In Great
Britain alcohol for use in the arts is methy-
lated A small percentage Of wood alcohol
and of naphtha is mixed with IL. Thus. II
IT is used to make any liquor IL can be
detected by mixing IL with water. IL the
alcohol has not been methylated IL is clear
But If methylated IT at once clouds and
the deception is discovered. In Germany
the manufacturer declares on his honor
that the alcohol he buys is for use in the
arts only. II he has lied and is discovered
he is never thereafter permitted to pur-
chase alcohol without paying & tax.
