GRESHAM VERSUS oLNEY.
They Disagree as to Effect Of the Tariff
Act on Our Treaty Relations

They Disagree as to Effect or the Iar1fr
Act on Our Treaty Relations.
AS stated exclusively in yesterdays TIMES,
Chairman Wilson's bill to repeal the sugar
"diiferentlal'' is an administration measure,
based upon an admission by Secretary
Gresham that the law is a violation of our
treaty with Germany. 1t now develops, how
ever. that Attorney General Olney does not
altogether agree with Secretary Gresham re-
garding the questions common to this case
and one of a similar nature which was re-
Gently passed upon. The question propounded
to the Attorney General by Secretary
Carlisle was whether salt imported
from Germany is dutable under the para
graph OF the new tariff act which imposes the
old and higher duty on salt imported from
countries imposing duty on salt exported
from the United States.
Substantially tile same arguments apply to
both the sugar and the salt schedules, mas
much as it is conteuded on behalf of Germany
that both provisions are equally IN violation
of the most favored nation clause in our
treaty with that country.
The Attorney General makes very strong
argument IN support of his position, and
shows that Germany herself has declared
that the export sugar bounty of one country
might be counteracted by an import duty OF
another without any violation OF the terms OF
the most favored nation" clause.

BILL COOKS THREAT.
Attorney jackson Receives . Letter 4
warning.


Warning.
MUsKoaEE. 1. T.. Nov. 18.-United
States Attorney Jackson has received q
letter from Bill Cook threatening to kill
him ii he makes any further attempt to
exterminate the gang. The forces OF
deputies under Deputy United States
Marshall McGill were equipped by
United States Attorney G. L. Jackson
at his own expense and the citizens
here are loud in their praise of him. His
instructions to the mon were to remain
in the field until the gang had been
either killed or captured.
1t was this force that surprised the
bandits under Cherokee Bill and made
the valiant fight reported. Cherokee
Bill has not yet been captured. though
late reports cay he surely will be, to
gether with the full force he has been
leading.
The report that Cherokee Bill was
badly wounded in the battle with the
deputies has been verified by dispatches
to United States District Attorney Jack
son tonight. One of the two bandits
captured during the fight was brought
here by Marshal Cobb. His information
from the fighting ground is that Chero-
kee Bills band is surrounded and can
only eecape by fighting their way
through the deputies line, which it is
not believed they can succeed in doing.
Marshal Cobb believes there will be
another bloody fight.
