The Wells tariff bill was introduced IN both
Houses Yesterday, referred to Finance Commit
tees, and ordered to be printed. The bill pro-
poses partial increase Of the present tariff

trade, project by the advocates of a high tariff
The bill proposes reduction On wool OF iron,
1910 40 per cent upon the House BILL iron ana
steel remaio the same cottons sleh' au-
vance upon the House bill, and the su1'tltu-
ton OF specific instead of ad valorem duties.
The duty upon teas is kept at the present
rate of rs per cent, instead of l24 per cent, as
proposed by the House bill. Spices and tGo. TO-
bacco are kept at the rate OF the present tsr'ft
and specific tax is put upon liquors OF 81 per
gallon, instead of the present rate OF 100 per
cent. Washington; Star.
Mr.. John G. Ryan, who was arrested about
eighteen months ago, on suspicion that ne was
John FL. Surratt, now seeks damages for false
imprisonment. Mr. Ryan was arrested in

ton, incarcerated in the Old Capitol prison,
some weeks in solitary confinement, removed to
Ycksburg, and again kept in solitary conhne-
ment until November, and then released with

The Russian American Purchase
OPINIONS or THE ENGLISH PRESS.

The London Times of the 2nd says editori-
ally that - Russian America has been ac-
quired by its natural purchaser, great
progressive power. of whose advances we
cannot complain SO long as they are achiev-
ed by legitimate means.
On the same day it says on the same sub
ject that 9 without sharing the excitement
said to have been produced among the Brit
ish diplomatists in Washington, we cannot
but recognize it an event of considerable
importance, attesting as it does the mvster-
Gus sympathy which has so long existed be-
tween Russia and the United States estab-
fishing as it Will republican instead of a
Cossack power on the northwestern frontier
of the new confederation. 1t is probable it
has been purchased with "A view Of asserting
the claim of the United States to Supremacy
on the American Continent Since then we
have no right to protest against an act en-
trely within the discretion Of the Russian
and United States governments. let us not
place ourselves in false position by any
vain remonstrances. Let forbear to f;ts-
ten upon this unexpected transaction hos
tile construction. or to insist upon rights
and interests which incapable of being
maintained.
