QUESTION OF LAW.
Secretary Gage Discusses His Recent
 Order as to Russian Sugar.

Washington, Feb. 18.-In speaking today of his recent order imposing a countervailing duty on Russian sugars Secretary Gage said:
 Tt is not a question of what the manufacturers desire or think ought to be. It is not question of what the sugar refiners or our beet raisers de- sire or think ought to be. It is a ques- tion purely of law and fact.
 "The allegation of discrimination ap- pears to be unfounaed in view of the fact that sugars coming from other bounty paying countries, such as France, Germany, Belgium, The Neth- erlands, etc., are subjected to addi- tional duties under said section and that unless the above stated conclu- sion of this department is reversed by a competent tribunal the exemption of hussian sugars from additional duty would rightly be regarded by the other bounty paying countries as discrim- ination against them and in favor of Russia"
