BERLIN, Aug. 5.-Though the Russo
German tariff war has only been in ac-
tive operation five days, there already are
signs of abatement in the squirt of hos
tility on both sides. Several st. Peters
burg papers inspired by the Russian for :
eign office, attacked the policy of agrees
sion upon German commerce as initiated
by NJ. White, Russian finance minister
without full sanction of the Imperial
council, though with the knowledge that
certain of the cars advisors. Minister
Witte is charged with under estimating
Germany's strength in forcing the Gus
toms' war, while open regret is ex-
pressed that it was ever begun. The tone
OF official articles breathes peace. They
conclude by asserting that Russia does
not wish to increase the complications
that exise now as formerly. at harmo
NOUS settlement of international ques-
ton.
The North German Gazette, comment
ing upon Russia s abrupt change OF front
from negotiating treaty to hostile
action is dangerous to Russia's interests,
publishes table showing the former and
the existing duties, and comparing them
with the German tariff on Russian goods.
The figures prove that the German tariff
amounts on an average to only 20 per
cent. of the value of the goods imported,
and in some instances to 90 per cent. ,
whereas Russian duties before the war
began averaged 100 per cent, and were
now raised to an impracticable height.
This assertion that Germany originated
the conflict by raising her tariff and COM
polling Russia to raise hers.

over the door keepership. After short
speech by Holman. Turner, of Georgia,
nominated Crisp for reelection, after
which he was elected by exclamation
amid applause. Speaker Crisp spoke as
follows:
1.-THE extraordinary condition Of affairs
throughout the country has necessitated
our meeting in extraordinary session. In
SO far as that condition is attributable to
existing law we are in no wise response
bic therefor now. For the first time IN
more than thirty years we are IN full
power. We can repeal laws, and we can
make good ones. The people have en-
trusted us with that power, and expect
US to exercise it for their behalf.
s'Our financial system should be re-
vised and reformed. Strict economy in
public expenditures should be observed
and taxation should be equaliz9d and
greatly reduced. To these purposes we
are thoroughly committed. We must
redeem our pledges. Let US begin work
at once. Let us lay aside every other con-
sideration than public good and endeayor
10 so discharge the duties assigned us as
to restore confidence, promote prosperity,
and advance the general welfare OF al
classes of people. Sincerely grateful fo1
your confidence ana esteem pledge my

divided. Charges were made against
Yoder that after his election in the lasi
Congress he had appointed Republican

for captain of the watch. Several repre-.
sentatives defended Yoder. among then
Caminetti of California, who said be haC

The Trial of Ducret for Completely III
Forging Documents.

The Trial of Ducret for Completely III
Forging Documents.
PARIS, Aug. 5.-In the trial of Ducret,
editor OF the Cocarde, for completely in
forging documents alleged to have been
stolen from the British embassy, in which
it appeared that several prominent
Frenchmen had turned traitors for British
gold, and Norton on the charge of doing
the forging: the latter testified that he
had been offered position on the staff of
the Petit Journal if the conspiracy sue
ceeded, and that the documents were
forged in Ducret's house.
Ducret denied the truth of Norton's
statement.
A sensation was caused by Marquis De
Mores, witness for Ducret, shouting to
M. Clemenceau ''you have been for two
years secret agent of England
"Prove it, - replied NJ. Clemenceau.
s'Nothing is easier, retorted witness.
The president of the court refused to
permit the Marquis De Mores to con-
tinue and witness left the stand, saying,
Everywhere l meet you, Clemenceau,
shall say you are the secret agent OF
England.
M. Clemenceau then took the stand and
gave detailed account of the conspiracy,
after which the advocate general summed
up the governments case.

Pherson for Clerk.

Tom Reed is Nominated for Speaker, Nc
Pherson for Clerk.
WASHINGTON, August "a Republican
caucus was held in the rooms of the COM
mittee on judiciary tonight to nominate
candidates for officers for the fifty-third
congress. Henderson of Illinois presided
and Hooker of New York acted as secre-
tary. When it came to nominating a
ticket that is to be defeated monday,
General Henderson nominated ex-
Speaker Reed, saying that he
would name the man whose record
aud whose hold on the popular heart
would make a more eloquenC appeal than
anything he might be able TO say. The
nomination was made by reclamation,
and after prolonged applause Mr.. Reed
responded in one of his characteristic
speeches, his sarcastic drawl having lost
none of its pungency during the summer
recess.
Four months ago, he said, s'They had
left Congress and returned to their homes
with the country in a prosperous condi-
ton. All the mills were running, spin
dies were playing, furnaces roaring,
labor employed everywhere and the people
happy. Now,' he continued, 1--WE are
called back to find an extraordinary bus
mess depression, distrust in all circles
finances of the country; condition.
of COURSE he said, ''precipitated
by Democratic failure to legislate.
In this eme- gency, the Democrats
call upon Republicans to lay aside all
partisanship, forget anything that has
been done in the past and join with the
Democrats to get them out of their pres
ent trouble.'' There was no attempt on
the part of Reed to outline party policy,
and he concluded by saying that the Re-
publican party would be found discharg-
ing its duty in a way to fit il with the
broad measure of its past record when ii
was in the majority and if it did this il
could be asked to do no more.
The remainder of the ticket nominated
was as follows: Clerk, E. D. AIcPher-
son OF Pennsylvania; sergeant-at- arms,
A. j. Holmes of Iowa; doorkeeper, FL.
Hathaway of Montana; chaplain, Rev.
Horace Green of New York. A recon-
mendation was also made to the Demo
cratic caucus to retain upon the rolls
Captain Currier of iowa as page.

GoULD's THEORY.
Hostility Towards Corporations, He Says
Causes the Present Depression.

Hostility Towards Corporations, He Says,
Causes the Present Depression.
New YORK, Aug. g. George Gould
was passenger on the American liner
New York which arrived today. When
asked regarding The financial situation he
said: s'The situation, of course, is very
much demoralized. The main cause is
the unsettled conditions due to the silver
question. There is another cause, how
ever, that the public is not so well aware
of, and that is the hostile attitude as
sumed by The legislators of the country
toward the great corporations. Instead
of trying to build them up, the policy of
the state and general governments is to
pull them down and make them worth
less. People forget that the country can
not be prosperous unless the great trans
portation corporations also prosper.
Business has never been more stagnant
in the southwest than at the present time,
and look for no change, unless there is
something done at Washington. The re-
peal of the Sherman law will bring us all
back to prosperous times, but we may
hope for nothing until Congress acts, and
IN just that way.

PENSION MATTERS.
Commander weissert of the c. A. r. is
Interviewed.


Los ANGELES, Cal, Aug. 5.-Com-
mander-in- Chief Weissert of the Grand
Army of the Republic arrived here today.
Asked about pension matters, he said:
ssMy position as commander of the whole
Grand Army is summed up in the brief
order thar l issued after my election
in September. That order was that
every member of the G. A. r. having
been obliged to encourage honor and
purity in public affairs, are requested, in
case they know of any one receiving a
pension frandulently, to report the same
promptly to the commissioner at Wash
ington. All G. A. R. men agree that
they encourage in every instance the
striking from the rolls of anybody draw
ing illegal pensions, but members OF the
G. A. r. as well as all patriotic
all those drawing pensions, and
who served honorably during the
war being called frauds, bummers,
bounty jumpers and thieves, especially
when the parties making those assertions
were in neither army during the war,
and do not cite single case where the
law is being violated.
ssMany people forget that the soldiers
of tue late war are citizens as we'll as vet
Grams. Members OF the @. A. r. were so
anxious TO enforce the law OF the land be-
tween 1879 that they offered their lives
for the purpose, and they have failed
to hear of anything that has
changed their minds since they squelcned
rebellion and are Just as anxious to en-
force the laws now as they were in 81,
and they are anxious that not only the
pension laws but others should be en-
forced

Attracting Attention.
BOISE CITY, Ida. Aug. Especial. Il
The placer mines along the Snake river
are attracting more and more attention.
1t has long been known that there was
enormous quantities of gold along that
stream, but it is so fine that miners here
tofore have not cared to bother with it.
Many of the banks cannot be worked,
but it is found that numbers of the low
bars will return good wages. Duncan
and Gordon have just brought in three
and one-half ounces of pure gold In all
they have realized $500 from fifty cubic
yards of dirt. They have claim of forty
acres which is found to grow richer az
they get back further from the river.

THE SHERMAN LAW.
Its Unconditional Repeal. Says Senator
Teller, Impossible.

DENVER, Aug. "a dispatch from
Senator Teller. Washington. to the
Times, says: The unconditional repeal
of the Sherman law is impossible. All
the claims made by eastern mon opposed
to silver that enough votes will be mus
tered in the Senate to repeal the act, are
not true.
Naturally the silver men will not be
able, perhaps, to secure the enactment of
law that will be entirely satisfactory,
but they are in position to force the
opposition to compromise. The situa-
ton is even better than was anticipated a
few DAYS ago.

sistant Treasurer Meline stated that the
