requested that the roadway Of the street

THE DUTY ON RUSSIAN OIL.
What Treasury officials Say of the De-
partmeMt's Action.

What Treasury Omcials Say of the De-
partment's Action.
The treasury officials protest against the
assumption in some quarters that the de-
partment has taken up the question Of the
duty on petroleum imported from Russia
and decided it adversely to that country
well knowing that little or no petroleum
is brought from there into the United
States. Since the Dingley tariff act of 1897
went into operation, the officials say, the
department has never directly passed upon
the question at issue. The act itself makes
it obligatory upon the authorities to inn
pose a corresponding duty on petroleum or
it's products imported from any foreign
country which imposes a duty on the Amer
lean article but treasury officials say moth
ing was done as to importatiOns from Rus
sia until January %, 1901, when the board
Of general appraisers at New York held
that petroleum produced In Russia and I'M
ported into England. there refined and
thence imported into the United States,
was dutiable at a rate equal to the rate
imposed by Russia on petroleum imported
into that country from the United States;
and further, that the provisions Of para
graph 626 of the act of July "a, 1897 the
Dingley tariff law), apply to the country
where the oil Is produced and not to the
country of expectation. This decision, 1t
is contended at the Treasury Department,
Is the only one which could be made in
view Of the plain wording of the law:
The only other action in regard to the

department was that Of March 9, 1901.
which required invoices of products Of

the place where the petroleum contained
therein was produced. No reference what
ever, it is said at the department., is made
to any particular country save calling at

general appraisers. So far as the depart
ment knows not dollar In duties has been

HE PRAISES THE ROERS.
Capt. Reichmann's Report on His
South African Experience.

The division of military information of
the War Department is preparing for pub
lcation reports Of different officers who re-
Gently have had an opportunity to observe
military events and campaigns One of
these is Capt. Carl Reichmann, 18th Infan-
try, who went from the Philippines to
South Africa, and for seven months OBJ
served the operations of the Roer army
On his way to The Transvaal he stopped
at Madagascar, and says that the French
were doubling the garrison of that island,
perhaps in view Of possible complications
with England"
When he arrived in the Transvaal he
met President Kruger. who asked him if
ne mad come TO see the fight of one
against five?"
The report of Captain Reichmann deals
with the military conditions of the Trans
vaal and Orange Free State prior to the
war, and the supplies and equipments of
the army. He describes in detail all of
the engagements that came under his Oh
servation during the time he was with it.
He mentions the fact that the age of the
Boer soldiers was from eighteen to fifty:
that the Transvaal army numbered 2J,411
and that of the Orange Free State IA
In summing up his observations of the
Beers as people and an army Captain
Reichmann says that the Boer burgher is
not soldier; he has not trained as a SOL
dier, and his fighting methods are the out
come of his environment and personal
character. The Beers are reserved and
dignified people, and made few comments
even when they heard of the destruction of
their homes and property by the British
In the seven months he was with them he
became favoraby impressed with the Boer
people as whole. AS to the breaches of
civilized war of which they are charged
he says it is due to ignorance or accident
They democratic in their character and
Institutions.
Much of this portion of Captain Reich
nlann's report Is represented by asterisks
showing that there have been eliminations
in order that no offense may be given to
those he criticises.
Upon the whole he found that very good
discipline was maintained in the Boer army
and that the soldiers were equipped with
coed arms and plenty of ammunition
Bayoncts were not used.
Captain Reichmann says that volunteers
played a considerable part In the South
African war. Among the foreign organfza-
tons IN the Boer army was an Italian COM
pany of seventyiive men, under Captain
Riccardi. who had been with Aguinaldo In
the Philippines. He says there also was a
body of irish-Americans from Chicago who
went as hospital corps, but dropped their
insignia and took UP rifles as soon as they
were within the Boer lines. There was a
small company of American scouts under
Captain Hassel. These had dwindled to
but a few men at the time Of the capture
OF Pretoria. The foreigners included nearly
all nattonalities. The Kaffirs cut consid-
cradle figure in the army and were subject
to military duty for the Transvaal republic

the Indians were given in addition to the

America For the Poet"
1.-THE poet who is worth while is one
who has something to do with the lar
ger movements Of humanity, Is a
prophet and a seer" he said. 1--WE need
a new ideal for the poetic and literary
life, and l believe that the social and
industrial movement at the present
time presents a higher theme than the
poets have yet dealt with. I believe
that we are coming to a new concep-
ton of religion that will be the appli-
cation of the Golden Rule. We need
not men to make money, but money to
make We lack a great past, but
we have a spacious future. America
has been reserved to these later ages
for some great manifestation. Some
thing seems destined to come out Of
this great experiment of democracy,
and l believe it will be in the solving
Of the problem Of the struggle Of capt.
tai and labor and that we will solve
the problem of industrial freedom"
