CANADA TO STRIKE BACK.
She Will Retaliate for the Dingley
Tariff Bill

Montreal, Que, March 22.-Since the
provisions of the Dingley tariff We're
announced it has been considerably
canvassed here and the concensus of
opinion seems to be that it is hostile
to the interests of Canada. The lum-
Der trade has been mostly to the front
and there has been a general demand
for export duty on saw logs and all
kinds of pulp wood. The indications
are that the government will accede
to this demand, and that the forthcom-
ing revision of the tariff will not be so
much in the line of lower duties as was
promised before the elections
Alderman Prefontaine, NJ p, who
who has just returned from a confer
ence with the ministers at Ottawa, has
intimated pretty plainly that this is the
case and that retaliatory duties will
be imposed against the United States
all along the line. An important edi-
torial much to the same effect is pub
ished in Laptrio, which is owned by
J. I. Tarte, minister of public works
The American tariff Laptrfo de-
c1ares, constitutes a Chinese wall
against Canada's trade, and since this
is the case Canada should govern itself
accordingly. 1t is unfortunately only
too evident that our neighbOrs do not
wish to trade with us, consequently it
behooVes US to look elsewhere for
them. Great Britain and our sister
colonies offer US a market that car be.

RUSSIA'S PRECAUTIONS.
She Takes Measures to Prevent the
Introduction of the Bubonic Plague.

Washington March 22.-The Russian

Consul General Karel at St. Petersbur
is acting with a vigor to prevent the
spread of the dreaded bubonic plague
into Russia. A sanitary commission
has been created with a fund of 100, 600
these new measures of precaution to
the existing regulations:
First-To send an expedition of medi-
cal men to India to Investigate the
causes and effects of the pla que.
SecOnd-To prohibit for this year the
pilgrimage of Russian Mussulmans to
Mecca or to other places where the shi-
ties are wont to resort for devotional
purposes and to forbid Russian Chris
tians visiting the Holy places of the
east.
Third-To prepare and have in readi-
ness a sufficient quantity of DR.. ia
sens anti-plague whey.
Fourth-To send to threatened locali-
ties ample medical staff and medicines
to assist the local authorities in resist
ing the plague.
Fifth-To publish in the official news
papers full accounts of the progress of
the disease and the workings of the
preventive mea assures.

who had come to Afghanistan had died

quence the Russian and Persian gov

Dingley, 1.-The rates proposed in the pend

BOYCOTT CHICAGO BEER.
The Federation of Labor Has De-
clared War Against Home
BrewerieS

Chicago, March 22.-War against Chi
cago beer has been declared by the Chi
cago Federation of Labor at its regu-
lar weekly meeting. A gigantic boy
colt, in which all organized labor will
be urged to unite, was launched against
the product of all breweries that are
members of the Chicago Brewers asso-
citation and will take effect April 1. I'm
ion men who wish to drink beer viii be
expected to buy the product of Mi1wau-
kee or St Louis breweries and to re-
fuse to patrOnize any saloon supplied
by any of the 20 members of the brew
ers' combine.
Grievances of Cooper's union. No. /.
against the local brewers precipitated
the action of the federation.
John Mcpherson, the delegate from
the coOpers, who was present at the
meeting explained to the federation
that the coopers has vainly tried for a
year to induce the brewers to use bar
rels and kegs made by union workmen
and now asked that decisive measures
be taken at once to force the manufac-
turers to comply or to place their pro-
duct under the ban of unitel labor.
The sentiment of the labor men was
for battle.

TO CLOSE JOINTS AGAIN.
President Billiard and Commissioner
Keith Say They Mean Business.

Members of the Topeka board of po-
lice commissioners say that the joints
in Topeka will be closed. They say
too, that they will be kept closed. Some
time ago they issued an order to Chief
Steele to close the joints by warning
This was done They closed, only to
open again inside of a week
Saturday night one small joint
keeper, Hank Vansciver, was pulled
The police did not find any liquor, as he
had undoubtedly received a tip in ad-
vance.
While he was pulled there were at
least twenty joints running full blast
all along Kansas avenue. It is true
that most of them are running under
cover now, for they do not know Just
mains a fact that there are many joints
in Topeka. The o. NJ. B. lodges did
not close at all after the order. None
of the big joints with large patronage
have been pulled as yet.
President ]. B. Billiard of the police
board stated positively to a State Jour
nal reporter today that the liquor joints
in the city would be closed. We are
closing them as fast as we can. 1t is
difficult to get evidence. We thought
we had them all closed, but here lately
we hear that they are open again. We
will follow our resolution to close them,
and we will keep them closed the best
we know how"
How about the clubs and lodges?"
asked the reporter.
We'll, when we find that they VIC
late the law they will be pulled. But
as long as they are social clubs they
will not be molested.'
Mr.. Keith, another member of the
police board, said in answer to a ques
ton by a reporter: Yes, sir, we will
close the joints and keep them closed.
We are going to close them out
What about the o. NJ. B. lodges?"
asked the reporter.
We'll, when they run as quietly as
those other fellows we will let 'em CO.
