not the endurance OF men. and that in
races of more than 100 miles the drivers

Interior Department Resists Contem-
plated Cut in Oil Payments.

The Interior Department. which guards
the interests of the Indians. does not in
tend to permit the Standard Oil Company
to reduce the price which the Indian oil
producers in Oklahoma have been receiv-
ing for their crude petroleum. il Acting
Secretary Pierce can devise any plan to
require the oil company TO pay the II
cents a barrel which the Indians have
been getting. 1t is alleged that the
Standard Oil Company is contemplating
reduction in the price TO - cents
barrel. and the charge is also made that
in reducing the price which it pays for
the crude oil advantage is being taken
of the new Payne tariff law.
Several conferences have been held by
Mr.. Pierce and Commissioner Valentine
of the Indian bureau to consider the pro-
posed action of the oil company and de-
wise a plan for the protection of the In
dams.

Peru-Roliyia Dispute.

Peru has not sent an ultimatum TO Be-
lvia in the matter Of the boundary dis
pute between the two countries. From
all reports received at the State Depart
ment it appears that both governments
are approach one another in this mat
ter in a spirit of sympathy and good un-
derStanding. The subject of the award is
now before the Bolivian congress, and
there is reasonable prospect that the
whole matter in controversy will be set
tied amicably. On his arrival in Chile. a
few days ago, Mr.. Dawson, the United
States minister. found that the apprehen-
sion of a conflict between Peru and Be-
livia was rapidly disappearing.

TAX ON ARMY BEEF.
New Tariff on Imported Meat
Raises Question for Decision.

An interesting decision is to be made
within the next few days by the Secre-
tarv of War in regard to the application
of the new tariff legislation in the matter
of imported beef bought for the use of the
army in the Philippines The new tariff
act imposes duty of 81 Per two hun
dred Kilograms on beef and all manufac-
lures of food from it. This is equivalent
to about four-tenths of a cent per pound.
AS all the fresh beef now furnished the
army comes from Australia, and for the
future, in view of the slight duty that
has been put on it, will still come from
there rather than from the United States.
the new tax will simply have to be paid
by the contractor.
II is argued that it will be unfair for
the government to place this tax on beef
that Is being furnished under existing
contracts and doubtless the government
will take care of this. But under new
contracts the tax will be added to the
price of beef furnished the army In the
islands. and the contractor will pay it..
The tax is not likely to have effect on
canned beef or food products made from
beef and shipped to the islands from the
United States. These go in free. as be-
fore. and as there is little competition
from other sources Of supply the trade
will not be affected materially.
