NEW RUSSIAN DUTIES.
WIN Net Be as Buriensome on Im-
porters as First Reported

NEW YORK, Nov. s7.--A special to
the Journal OF Commerce from Wash.
ingtoE says;
The levy Of duties ON certain imports
into siberia will not affect some OF the
important articles necessary to the de-
velopment Of the country. The report
that Hour would be taxed so per cent
is emphalically denied by the official
representatives here Of the Rus
sian government. II is declared
that the duties viii be the same as in
European Russia on tiour amounting
to about Is cents per thiriy-six pounds
or SO cents per barrel.
The entire European tariff viii not
be placed. however. upon imports into
Siberia. Many articles like railway
equipment, locomotives. structural iron
and agricultural machinery viii be
continued to be admitted free Of duty
into all parts OF Asiatic Russia.
The duties announced. moreover.
which take effect on January /, will
apply only to articles imported at
Nladivostock and other neighboring
ports and will not extend to the entire
country north of the trans siberian
railway.
These duties will not be levied IN
any manner in Manchuria, the Chinese
province which is practically under
Russian control since the lease was
made for the construction OF the east
ern branch OF the trans Siberian rail-
way. The Russian government. so far
as the state department is advised, pro-
poses to adhere firmly to the agree
ment for the open door in all parts OF
the territory OF China. including those
under temporary Russian control.
The Russian government Is desirous
of raising the revenue and protecting
domestic industry in Siberia to a GER
tain extent but proposes to leave free
of duty such articles as are not pro-
duced in the country and will contribute
to its rapid development.
1t is declared by representatives Of
the Russian government that it is not
proposed at present to seek any large
loan and that the expenses Of recent
military operations in China will be de-
frayed from the free cash balance in
the treasury.
