TARIFF IN RUSSIA.
English Transaction of the Imperial
Ukase Recently Issued.

WASHINGTON, November 1st.-The State
Department has just received from the
United States Legation at ST. Petersburg an
English translation of the imperial ukase
issued August 2S.h, raising the customs
tariff 20 per cent. on some and 40 per cent.
on other articles of commerce. Concerning
this ukase Wuriz, Secretary of the Lega-
ton, says: This law was not unexpected,
as it was known some analogous measure
was in contemplation awaiting the general
revision of the tariff of the Empire. 1t is
limited to July L, 1891, before which date it
is expected the work of revision will be &C.
complished. The provisional measure is
called for by the increase in value of the
paper ruble, which diminished the protec-
lion afforded by the present tariff. Even a
greater increase of tariff might be justified,
for the ruble has risen within the last few
months to so per cent. over the quotations
of three years ago. At the present indica-
tons it will rise to par before the end of
the year. The new tariff is prohibitory for
number of articles, and many of them
Russia cannot produce. Russia cannot yet
produce all its necessaries, and to practic-
tically exclude them by an increased tariff
is questionable policy in country so large
" dependent upon its imports

Rev. Father Grace Writes of His Wander
ings in the Old World.
A letter has just been received by resi-
dent of this city from Rev. Father Grace
in which the latter states that, after many
wanderings in many lands, he has just ar.
rived at Barntown, in the county of Wex.
ford, Ireland the home OF his youth. He
says he thoroughly enjoyed the news from
Sacramento afforded by a perusal of the
RECORD UNION, although saddened by the
intelligence of dear friends called to their
final rest.
He had seen all the places of interest in
England, France, Italy, Austria, Germany,
Hungary and Switzerland, and when be
shall have made tour of Ireland his task
will be finished.
Father Grace does not state when he will
leave for Sacramento, but he will probably
start as soon as he has visited the principal
places in the land of his birth.

MALFEAsANoE IN OFFICE.
The Doings of Several ex-Offciais OF the
Land Office to be Investigated.


WASHINGTON, November 1st.-A special
Land Office agent will be sent to Tucson
Ariz, to take charge of the case there
against the former Receiver, Smith, charged
with malfeasance in Office. This agent
will probably visit Humboldt, CAL, before
he returns, to take steps in the case of ex-
Register Hutchins and ex-Special Agent
Bergan, who, before being deposed from
office, by collision defrauded The United
States Government of from $4,000 to
$50, 600.
The special agent sent out to investigate
this affair reports as follows: "Hutchins
employed stenographer toreduce the testi-
mony of witnesses in land cases to writing
in long hand, for which services the Gov
eminent paid 224 cents per hundred words.
This stenographer fell out, and the former
now says that Hutchins compelled him to
pay back III cents on every hundred words.
Since there was great amount of this
work done, the amount gained by Hutch
ms through this collision was considera-
Bile. 1t is further alleged that Hutchins re-
turned vouchers for fictitious witness fees.
Bergan, a special agent, was sent out to in
vestigate, but he fell by the wayside, and
shared in Hutchins' profits. Both Of them
will likely be criminally prosecuted"

Cfncinnatis Board of CITY Affairs,

CINCINNATI, November 1st-The new
Board of City Affairs went into their Office
a little earlier than the usual time for meet
ing this morning, accompanied by the
Mayor. The Office was locked, and only
the clerks were within. To request of
the Mayor to open the door refusal was
given. The Mayor directed an officer to
force an entrance. Three kicks from the
policeman's brogan opened the door. The
inner door also was locked, and was opened
by sending man through the transom.
The Board then elected a new clerk and
discharged the assistant, who refused to
give up the book of minutes. President
Reenelin of the old Board came in later
and began to raise objections. But when
Mayor Mosby told him he had no right to
interfere with the business he left the room.
