A WAR OF TARIFFS.
Germany RetaiIating Against Our Discrimi.
mating Duty on beet Sugar.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 5.-Indications seem to
multiply that II is the purpose OF Germany,
openly or by indrection, to interpose obstacles
In tho way Of the importation Of American
products into Germany long the discrimi
mating duty against German beet sugar, imposed
by the existing new tariff law. is maintained.
First, on a preteIt Of the transmission OF Texas

OF hive cattle from the United States into Ger

placed upon American canned goods Then a
Commission was appointed to investigate
whether American cotton could not DO sup

lures.
Now the Department OF State has been noti-
fed. through its consular representative at Ban
men, OF a proposed change In the German GUS
toms tariff by which the duty on cottonsecd oil
will be increased $50 per cent. over present
rates Among the many additions to existing
duties this seems to be the most important, and
1t is said TO meet the wishes not only OF the pro-
tectiOnist oil manufacturers OF Germany, but OF
the agrarians as well. The present duty on
American Cottenseed oil Is marks CSD. and II

THE TROUBLES IN ARMENIA.
Turkish Accounts OF Atrocities Committed
by the Armenians.


WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-The Turkish Legation
has received the following communication in
regard to the Armenian troubles:
Toward the end OF July last, and under the
instigation OF an Armenian named Hampart-
zoum, the men Of ten Armenian villages near
Moush formed separate bands and, armed with
guns, daggers, hatchets, and other Instruments,
attacked the tribe OF Delkan, killed a few men
OF that tribe, and afterward fell on the
tribes OF Bekirah and Badikan. These
bands burned alive HadJ nephew OF En-
mer Agha, one OF the chiefs OF the Be-
kirah tribe, and not only outraged women Of
the village OF Kulli- but also put them TO
death in atrOcious manner. Men were also
tortured in more ferociOus way. Not satisfied
with all these lawless and criminal prOceedings
the same bands burned a few villages Inhabited
ures taken by the lawful authorities the bands
Ia question were dispersed and the insurgent
chief HampartZOum. as well as the priest Mig
hirditch OF KiZil-Kilisse and other guilty per-
sons, WAS arrested and brought before justice.
The statement often published in some of the
European newspapers 10 the effect that regular
troops fred on defenceless men and women Is
utterly untrue. No Individual carrying no arms
was killed. Twenty insurgents. having surren-
dered, were treated with all possible cUnsdera-
tOn, and, after their dispositions before the legal
authorities Of MOush we're taken. they were left
free. lt was these twenty insurgents who indi-
Gated the place where Chief HampartZoum and
his Accomplices were hiding themselves. The
above facts show that among the insurgents
only twenty surrendered, and that with the ex-
ception OF the briRands who broke In revolt, no
one else was ill-treAted."

REPUDIATEs THE M,KINLEY BfLE.
Chair-a. Babeoch says It was Respo.si-

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-Representative J. w.
the Republican Congressional Campaign Com
mittee said to-day that no attempt would be
made by the Republicans TO revive the Mckinley
bill
THAT bill" he continued. did not have the
support of one Republican in flve when 1t passed.
II was responbe for the Republican defeat in
1900, and that defeat was one Of the strongest
expressions Of the intelligence of the American
people. This widespread intelligence is one of
the most gratifying things 10 me ne an American
citizen. Our people will cross party lines At any
time to rebuke their own party when they
think that II has not dealt fairly with them.
There was deep-seated prejudice against the
Mckinley bill. II was regarded as too friendly
to the manufacturers and not sufficiently In the
interests OF the people, and they put the party
out NJ power that was responsible for the leRis-
in the principle OF protection. but he believes
still more in the principle of fair play, and that
principle, he thought, was violated In the Nc
Kinley bill"
"lf the people Of the country want lower du-
ties why aren't they satisfied with the present
law which the Democrats enacted at the last
session = was asked.
The present hill is not n Democratic bill. It
cans added tO II after II went to the Senate
something like 200 amendments. II ls not such
bill as the Republicans would have framed,
nor does II suit the wishes Of the extreme Demo-
Gratis. II s highly protective in some particu-
lars, more than the Mckinley bill, while
touching the extreme Of free trade In other di-
rections. We shall have the House and Senate
and the President In 1893. Meanwhile we shall
see how the present law works, and 1t will be
time enough then to smooth out It's crudities
and make 1t what 1t ought TO be.

The Athletic Row In tho East.

Adherents of the A. A. L. are deeply inter-
ested in the split which threatens TO break up
the New England Association. The powerful
Boston A. A. are taking a leading part In the re-
form movement. President w. B. Curtis OF the
A. A. U. informed The Sun reporter yesterday
that crisis may be avoided. He thinks the
committee appointed at the meeting OF the New
to arrive at something which would lead to
compromise.
The permanent secession OF the Boston A. A.
would be serious blow to amateur sport in the
East, and II Is believed that some OF the smaller
.ss eiu6ss which exist only on payer, win be
have power TO withdraw the New England As
sociation's franchise and authorize the forma-
tion OF a new branch. This Is an extreme step,
and will only be resorted 10 when the local
legislators have failed to adjust matters TO
every ones satisfaction. II the dscord con-
tinues, President Curtis will not hesitate TO use
his pruning knife as freely a. he applied it TO
the boxing question some years ago.
