Against the United States,
Which Struck First.
HAvEMEyER TARIFF THE CAUSE,
Preliminary Notice Served on the
Washington City Authorities.
In the Form OF . Protest Against tho
Discriminating Sugar Duty-shail
Thts Country Resaliate by Ceasinx
All Intercourse With Continental
Europe.

Washington City. Jan. 4.--The tariff
war between the United States and
Europe reached an acute phase today.
AS farsshadowed In the Associated Press
dispatches last week. the first official
act of Mr.. Henglemulaer. the new Aus
trian minister. was the lodgment of a
protest against that paragraph of the
sugar schedule act which imposes an adj
ditional duty of lilo Of cent per pound
on sugar coming to the United States
from countries which psy an export
bounty on IL. This action was taken
today. and the ground taken by the
minister was similar to that which form
ed the basis of the protest OF Germany.
that the additional duty discriminates
against Austria. and is consequently a
violation Of the treaty OF commerce
with that nation. No threat Of retaiia-
ton accompanied the protest. but MIR.
Hengiemuller is following the example
set by the German minister, and the
next step he will undoubtedly take will
be in the same direction, namely. the
imposition of some restriction upon AM
erican products that are imported in
quantities into Austria.
The four great sources of our sugar
supply. outside of the small proportion
contributed by Louisiana, are Cuba,
Germany. France and Austria With
three of these countries we are already
at odds over the sugar duty. and in the
case OF France there are already indica-
tons ct the adoption of retaliatory
policy, in the imposition of restrictions
upon our meat trade and the inporta-
tion of American wheat and -four.
This whole subject was under discuss
ion by the cabinet today, and, as far as
can be gathered, the outcome. IL con-
gress fails TO corse to the relief OF the
executive by the removal of the duty
which is supposed TO cause the trouble,
viii be resort to retaliation which will
either open European countries to our
exports, or close our own ports TO all
European products.

Washington City. Jan. 4.-Senators
Cockreil. German and Jones and Senator
Allison, republican, held an informal
meeting today 10 discuss the prospects Of
correcting the present tariff law by
amendments to the urgency deficiency
bill. After the conference It was stated
that no attempt would be male 10 make
the corrections. 1t was understood that
Senator Allison rather gGardedly ex-
pressed the opinion that the Republicans
would not look with favor upon the
amendment scheme, and while he did not
undertake 70 speak for all OF them, he
gave IL as his impression that such pros
positions as had been advanced by the
Democrats would not meet with favor.
The Democrats who had assembled at

opinion that there would be no effort
made to pass any tariff legislation this
session, even in the way of amendments.

County Treasurer Appeals From Order
FOR Removal 20 Everett.
Snohoznish. Jan. Especial
from the order OF the board ef county
commissioners direosing the county seat
TO be removed to Everett en- January Il.
He has filed a lengthy affidavit en- ap-
peal. in which the whole ground of
objection to the order OF the board is
gone over, and indicating that Snoho-
mish will interrpse every possible legal
objection TO its being carried into effect.
A strong point is made of the fact that
the board OF commissioners met within
fifteen minutes after the canvassing
board had adjourned and declared the
result Of the county fseat vote without
canvassing the returns themselves.
I.awry charges that the statement in
their record that they had met on No
venlber 16. the same day on which the
canvassing board met. and continued in
session with said board. is absolutely
false. and refers to their record CT ad-
journment on November Is. at which TIME
they adjourned TO the 21st. as shown
BY 1t.
Fsfnaps tns strongest point SHOWN In
the affidavit is the allegation that the
board attempted 10 reject the returns
from South Snohomish on the grounds
that they were false and forged. while
their genuineness had already been ad-
judicafed and determined by the superior
court. 4 point is also made OF the fact
that according 10 the returns OF the
canvassing board 5lsl votes were cast
on the proposition. and that the number
credited up by the commissioners them
selves in favor OF rensoval to-wit. 1850.
Is not three-ffths OF the total vote cast.
The case viii probably come ON for hear
ing before the 2ist. the date fixed by the
commissioners for the removal.
