GIVEN FAIR WARNING.
Presidents Retaliatory Proclamation
COmino in. NorcI


WASHINGTON, January Tn view of
the provision in the reciprocity section of
the tariff law of October II, 1890, making
it the duty of the President, after Janu-
airy l, 1892, to suspend by proclamation
the free admission of sugar, molasses,
coffee, tea and hides, from such coun-
tries producing these articles as. after
that date, maintain tariff duties upon
American agricultural and other products
which he may deem unequal and unrea-
sonable, the President submitted to the
attorney general the question whether
the law authorized him to issue procla-
nation fixing a future day when the du-
ties imposed by the virtue of the procla-
nation would take effect. The Attorney
General has given an opinion that the du-
ties must attach and be collected on and

CHEATING UNCLE SAM.
Exporters Said ToBe Guilty of Violating
the Mckinley Law.

NEW YORK, January Tt is believed
that treasury agents here have stumbled
on big scheme of fraudulent draw
backs carried on by exporters. The Nc
Kinley act provides that when imported
materials, on which a duty has been
paid, are used in articles manufactured
in the United States, there shall be al
lowed on the expectation of such articles
a drawback equal to the duties paid on
materials used, less one per cent. 1t is
said the treasury agents have discovered
that many exporters claimed drawbacks
on articles which had never been inn
ported. The agents refuse to give par
ticulars, but say number of warrants
will be issued tomorrow.

WASHINGTON, January Z. - Senator
PETER of Kansas, today introduced bill
of purely Alliance and paternal charac-
ter. The preamble recites that the peo-
pie of Indiana are laboring under the
burden of enormous interest charges
made possible by the great scarcity of
money, the direct result of legislation
favoring credit to owning capitalists and
hostile to the wage Garner and producer,
resulting in the enforced mortgaging of
lands in Indiana to such an extent as to
threaten their loss. The bill authorizes
the Secretary of the Treasury to issue
treasury notes to the amount of one hun
dred million dollars, these notes to be
loaned to the people of Indiana on mort
cages upon their lands. Every one who
accepts loan of this description is to
give prommissory note for the amount.
and is limited in his borrowing to half
the cash value of his land. To secure
fair rate of interest on the money loaned,
the governor of the state is to collect
semi annually a tax of / per cent and
turn it into the national treasury.

LONDON, January THE stock ex-
change today was in a state of wild ex-
citement owing to very warlike rumor.
This report as spread was to the effect
that the British war vessels at Tangiers
landed force of blue jackets and ma
rines at that place. 1t was added that
the French admiral there gave the Brit
ish admiral notice that France gave Eng
land "a hours in which to re-embark her
landing party and if this was not done
at the expiration of that time the Foreign
fleet would attack the British war ships.
1t is supposed that this startling report
is simply a canard. circulated by bourse
spectators, but the excitement prevail
ing shows how dangerous the situation
in Morocco is believed to be. Inquiries
made at the admiralty and at the French
Office failed to obtain confirmation or a
denial of the news referred to, but the
report spread with marvellous rapidity
and was soon the crazy topic of London.
The report, though discredited on all
sides, caused most dangerous feeling
in the stock market.
The wild rumors are set at rest, but
they tend to show the feverish state of
European affairs, and how, from unex-
pected quarters, that long looked spark
which is to set half the world in a blaze
OF war may appear.
