TRADE WITH RUSSIA,
That Government Has Taken Steps to
Promote 1t.
From the Buffalo Commercial.

From the Buffalo Commercial
Russians in New York are we'll pleased
at the prospect of the establishment there
Of branch Of the Bank Of Russia. 1t has
been known for some time that the Rus
sian government had such a project under
consideration, and the decision to give the
idea practical form is accepted as evidence
of a new and more liberal commercial spirit
in the land of the ear.
The Russian merchants have been slow
to avail themselves of the American mar
ket, and the trade relations between the
two countries have hitherto been COM
parative1y limited. By far the larger por-
ton of Russian goods handled in New York
have been shipped through German agents,
and are known in trade as German goods.
With the establishments of a Russian bank
commerce would be greatly facilitated, and
would. it is expected serve to increase the
volume of both imports and exports.
The Russians are anxious to trade with
the United States" said Consul Alexander
Olarovsky, but the facilities have beeS
such as to render trade very difficult. Not
only will a bank be established here
through which transactions can be COM
pleted with promptness, but my govern
ment is now considering the ACCESSIBILITY OF
establishing a line of steamers direct to
this port The government is also pre-
pairing to make an extensive exhibition of
its products in this city as soon as the
necessary materiaIs<tan'b got together"
AS an evidence of the last fact Mr.. Ola
rovsky pointed to half a dozen big boxes
he had just received By steamer
'Those are the nucleus of an exhibit he
said and before many weeks l will have

Informed that goods are being shipped as

The exhibit will include the natural pro-
ducts, Russian fine laCes and cloths and
other manufactured articles and live stock.

STREET RAILWAY MEN STRIKE.
Demands of the Employees of the
Union Traction Co. of Philadelphia.

DeHahds OF the employees OF the
Union Traction Co. of Philadelphia.
At O'clock this morning the street car
lines of Philadelphia were tied up in a gen
eral strike. That step was decided upon late
last night. The conductors and motormen
are wagng for an increase of wages
shorter hours and the privilege of belonging
to the Amalgamated Association Of Street
Railway Employees.
Dissatisfaction has been growing for 4
long time, but reached high pitch immedi-
ately after the recent consolidation of all the
Philadelphia lines into one company-the
Union Traction. Then action was precipi-
tateu by the numerous discharges from the
company'S service of men belonging to the
Amalgamated Association. Many confer
ences have been sought by the various COM
mitteeS representing the railway men, but
all have been rejected by President J. Low
Der Welsh and the company's board of di-
rectorS
A few days ago w. D. Mahon of Detroit,
president of the national organization, ap-
peared in Philadelphia and took charge of
the affairs of the malcontents.
A crisis reached yes terday. At
meeting held yesterday committee of one
was appointed to convey an ultimatum to
President Welsh. He did so and returned
with the information, given by the president
himself, that there would be no answer and
that 10 person connected with any labor
organization would be recognized.
This report was received last night at
meeting of the committee having charge of
the railway mems affairs. Meanwhile a
rumber Of subcommittee who had been
polling the street car lines made their re-
ports. According to these the sentiment Of
the motormen and conductors was almost
unanimously in favor of a strike.
After long and earnest discussion it was
finally declared thata general strike on all
lines of the company. which controls every
car in the city. would be inaugurated either
at a very late hour last night the first
thing in the morning.
The demands of the men in detail are
these: ar,
1. That ten consecutive hours shall con-
sttute days work, with not less than.
thirty minutes for meals, and for which the
sum of 50 shall be paid
2. That all cars fshall be vestihuled for
the protection of motormen. said work to be
done within a reasonable time.
8. That sweepers, snow plows and trip
pers shall be considered as special work and
shall he subject to- incFease pay.
4. That no employee shall be discharged
for belonging to this. (the amalgamateD or
any other organiZa ton, except for Just
cause. That all men discharged by reason Of
their utilization with said organization shall

ANXIOUS ABOUT THE INCOME TAX
TreasuryCircles Await the Supreme Court
Decision With Impaiience.

Washington, March 23.-Considerable
anxiety prevails in treasury circles con-
corning the outcome of the argument be-
fore the supreme court, on the constitu-
tionality of the income tax law. The
court reassembles after its brief recess
on Monday, and il is the prevailing opin-
ion that the decision will be handed
down on that day, it being generally un-
derstood that the recess was taken for
the sole purpose of enabling the justices
to prepare their opinions on the question
at issue. Despite, however, the anxiety
that is apparent beneath the surface the
officials of the treasury department, from
Secretary Carlisle downwards, are as
Stunning an air of confidence, and eX-
pressed themselves as satisfied that the
decision will be in favor of the govern
ment. That Secretary Carlisle should
assume this appearance of confidence
is natural, for he has calculated upon re-
ceipts from the income tax to make good
his prophecy that next July will see the
national expenditures equalled by the re-
certainty is expressed, and there are
many astute lawyers who believe that
the opinion will favor the appellants. 1t
is not unlikely, however, that on the
question of constitutionality the court
may be divided within itself, and this,
owing to the illness of Justice Jackson.
would result in a deadlock. In such a
contingency the law would stand as
though no appeal had been taken. This
however would be an unsatisfactory so
luton of the difficulty, and both sides are
anxious for straight out decision.

about 80 feet from him Shepich leveled
his gun at him and said

NAVAL CAPTAIN is IN HOT WATER
Preferred Charges Against His Paymas.
ter Which Didn't Hold.

Washington. March 21.-Captain Folger
of the Yorktown, now of the China sta
ton, who had some trouble with his offic-
ers last year in Boring sea, has again be-
come involved in a like difficulty. 1t is
learned recently that he charged Pay
master Webster of the Yorktown with in
toxication. According to the paymaster,
the captain offered to refrain from press
ing the charge If the paymaster in turn
would withdraw the charges Of insubor-
dination he had lodged against the cox
swain of the captains gig. The paymas-
ter refused to do this and was suspended.
When the matter came before Admiral
Carpenter, after looking into and hearing
the paymaster's story, he promptly re-
stored the latter to duty and ordered a
court of inquiry, the findings of which are
not known here.
The cruiser Montgomery has returned
to Mobile from Trujillo, Honduras. Cap
tain Davis has, 1t is believed, completed
his investigation of the case of the muir
dered American, Renton, and will report
the facts to the secretary of the navy,
who will in turn transmit it to the depart
ment of state.
