AUSTRIA KICKS.
Against the Sugar Schedule of the
Tariff Bill.

Against the Sugar Schedule OF the
Tariff Bill.
Washington, Jan. 6.-The tariff war
between the United States and Europe
reached an acute phase to-day. AS
foreshadowed last week the very first
official act Of Mr.. Henglemuller, the.
new Austrian minister, was the lodg-
ment of protest against that para
graph in the sugar schedule which i'm.
poses an additional duty of 4 of per
cent on sugar coming to the United
States from countries which pay an
export bounty on it. 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 indications
Of the adoption of retaliatory policy
in the imposition of restrictions upon
our meat trade and the importation
Of American wheat and flour. This
whole subject was under discussion
by the cabinet, and as far as can be
gathered, the outcome, if congress
fails to Gene to the relief of the ex-
ecutive by the removal of the duty
which is supposed to cause the trouble,
then resort must be had to retaliat ton,
which will either open European coun-
tries to our exports or close our own
ports to all European products.

NO TARIFF LEGISLATION.

Informal Conference.

This Is Practically Decided Mt an
Informal Conference.
Washington, Jan. 6.-Senators Stock
well, German and Jones, Democrats,
and Senator Allison, Republican, held
an informal meeting to-day to discuss
the prospects of correcting the present
tariff law by amendments to the urg-
ency deficiency bill. Mr.. Allison, who
is q member of the finance committee
as we'll as the appropriation commit
tee, was asked to be present because
it was believed that he would know
the sentiment Of the Republicans on
the subject. After the conference it
was stated that no attempt would be
made to make the corrections. 1t was
understood that Senator Allison rath-
er guardedly expressed the opinion
that the Republicans would not look
with favor upon the amendment
scheme, and while he did not under
take to speak for all of them, he gave
it as his impression that such PROPOSE
lions as had been advanced by the
Democrats would not meet with favor.
The Democrats who had assembled at
this informal conference gave it as
their opinion that there would be
no effort made to pass any tariff legis-
lation this session, even in the way of
amendment.

Trouble.

A Decision in the Iowa A. U. o. W..
Trouble.
Dubuque, Jan. 6.-Judge Hustled has
filed his decision in the A. o. U. w.
case. A suit was brought by Grand
Master Hanks of this city, of the So
called "reber' faction Of the order to
enjoin the 'loyal' faction from using
the A. o. U. W., and from transacting
insurance and other business under
that name. The decision is against the
"loyals," the judge holding that de-
PENDANT is not secret fraternal So
ciety, but is life insurance COM
pany. This is one of many suits be-
tween these factions growing out of
the refusal Of the "rebels" to pay the
assessment levied in 1882 for death
losses in the South caused by yellow
fever. 1t is the final move Of the
"rebels" to shut the ':loyalists" out Of
the state, and will have that effect IL
the decision is sustained by the SUI
preme court, to which the case will
be appealed. The su.tS have attracted
the attention of similar cocieties
throughout the country.

HOME RULE.
1t Will BE Secured by the American

1t Will BE Secured by the American
Catholic Church.
Chicago. Jan. ga special cable
gram to the Post from Rome says:
The expected encyclical from Pope
Leo addressed to the archbishops and
bishops Of the United States is now
ready and will be transmitted through
the usual channels in few days. It
treats principally with the authority
and the powers of the apostolic dele
gate, Mgr. Satolli, who is confirmed
and strengthened in his position. The
letter is certain to cause a profound
sensation in ecclesiastical circles in the
United States similar to that excited
in France last year by Leo's recon-
mendation to the Catholic leaders Of
that country, in wh.h he urged them
to loyalty accept the republic and no
longer waste their efforts and their
forces by standing aloof and striving
for the impossible, i. e., the return and
the restoration of the royalists to pow
er. In detail the encyclical enlarges
to the fullest extent the power and
jurisdiction of the apostolic delegate.
thus comforting on Mgr. Satolli almost
pleniary authority. All matters of in
ternal and local controversy affecting
the church in the United States shall
no longer be under the jurisdiction Of
the courts Of the propaganda, but will
be heard and disposed of in the dele
gates tribunal - which becomes, in
fact, an American ecclesiastical court.
This is further and most important
recognition of home rule in the church
and will go far to do away with the
jealousy of Rome and Roman influence
which has hitherto prevailed in GER
tain quarters within and without the
church.

Redwood Falls, Mimi, Jan. 6.-Great
numbers Of horses are dying in and
around this county. One farmer alone
lost seven last week. The disease is
not confined to spots, but is general
throughout the county. Veterinarians

n0urishing food. The majority Of
farmers have little or no hay and are
compelled to feed straw. The horses
eat this to excess, causing the death of
many valuable animals.

Representative Talbot, who il max
ing the first draft Of the bill, is hearth
ly in favor of battleships, and the re-
