the purpose of which was to protest
against the action of the postoillee de-
partment in removing the office from
that point to Independence. No par
ticular speech making was INDUCED In,
but II was finally, decided to be thor
oughly impr;icticable to patronize the
office ut the point to which 1t had been
moved on account of the steep noun
tain that 1t would be necessary to so
down and climb up again, so 1t was re-
solved that hereafter or until such time
as the postal authorities should re-es-
tabllsh an office at Altman, every citi-
zen should have his mail direced to
Cripple Greek pos,otlice. A big box
should be rented and a man employed
TO bring it up to them. In order to
wind up business at once, Faharbeck

NOW AUSTRIA THREATENS.
If tho Sugar Schedule Is Not Modified
There VIII lie Trouble.

Washington. Jan. 1.-The tariff war
between the United States and Europe
reached an acute phase to-day. As
foreshadowcd in the Associated Press
dispatches last week the very first Of
fetal act of Mr.. Hcnglemullcr, the new
Austrian minister, was the lodgmcnt of
a protest against that paragraph of the
sugar schedule act which imposes an
additional duty of onc.tenth Of / per
cent on sugar coming to the United
States from countries which pay an
export bounty on 1t. This action was
taken to-day and the ground taken by
the minister was similar to that which
formed the basis OF the protest of Ger
many-that additional duty paid dis
eliminates against Austria and is con-
sequently violation OF the treaty of
commerce with that nation. So far no
threat of retaliation accompanied the
protest. but in this Mr.. hcnglcmuller
Is but 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 American pro-
duets that are imported In quantities
into Austria.
The four grca, 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
