HIGHEST TARIFF IN THE WORLD.
Russia Has Struck n Heavy Blow at
American Manufacturers.

NEW YORK, Feb. 1s.-Regarding the ef-
against sugar imported from Russia and
the Russian retaliatory excess duty of 80
PER cent. on American iron manufactures
Charles Strong Guthrie. president of the
American Steel Hoop Company. a corpora
zion with a capital of s3S 000, 900. said: 1.-THE
tariff Russia imposes on steel and iron i'm
ports is already the highest in the world.
1t is about three times as high even as that
of the United States. Russian tariffs on
nearly all goods are, ir. fact. the highest
of all nations Now If this additional duty
is imposed upon our products it does not
seem possible that our trade in steel and
iron with the Russians can continue. Rus
sia has in the last few years been MAX
ing desperate efforts to develop the steel
and iron industry of her own country.
Some new ore beds have recently been dis
covered there and the Russian government
IS fostering their development in every
possible way. l believe that bounty of
something like IS ton is awarded In Rus
sia TO the iron producer. American engi-
neers have been employed within the last
few years to erect blast furnaces But the
ore is of an inferior quality and cannot
supply The needs of the country.
Russia in imposing this extra tariff.
however, is striking al the point where
she Is evidently most sensitive. The dis
elimination will operate very much to the
advantage of Germany. Great Britain and
Belgium. These are main competitors
ir the steel and iron business, and we have
been striving with Them TO get control of
tho Russian trade We cannot comnete
however, on the basis of an extra tarin OF
80 per cent. Our trade with Russia has been
steadily growing in recent years. as The
policy OF the government was apparently
very friendly toward our products, and ii
will be unfortunate If this trade is now
cut tff."

President Mckinley was up and about.
After breakfasting on the train the
president and his party were visited
by the reception committee and the
march to the Alamo begun. Streets
and buildings along the line of march
were %profuseiy decorated and the

Washington, May Avery tangible
evidence of the peril to which Adj

to the navy department in the shape
OF one OF the starboard plates Of the
admiral's flagship, the Olympia. The
plate is about three feet square and
in it's middle is a heavy indentation.

ment from a five OR six-pound Span

was sent stating that the plate was
taken from the starboard side of the
Clympia's superstructure approximate
~ under forward bridge and very close
to one OF the fve-inch guns. While
u battle was in progress a shell
burst very near the officers on the
bridge, and one of the fragments whiz-
zing by the admiral. The deeply in
dented plate gives a more forcible re-
hinder of the narrow escape from
that bursting shell than has hereto

turn, will be placed in the Smithson-

CANAL BILL IS BURIED
Uncertainty As to Its Temperance
Despite Assurances Of High
Officials.

Berlin, May 4.-Herr Theodore Mol

OF commerce in succession to Herr
Beifeld, is a national-liberal of the
right wing and Westphalia machine
manufacturer. Whenever he has
come in contact with the emperor the
latter has expressed a liking for him

office of Prussian minister of the in
terror, to succeed Baron Rheinbaben
against Count Won Buelow's advice,
because his majesty hoped to effect
through ZedllLz changes in the pres
ent school system, rendering it pro-
nouncedly Christian and intoxicating
submission 70 temporal and spiritual
authorities and especially to the
crown. Herr Biefeld's going was n
dered necessary because his recent
utterances showed that though minis
ter of commerce, his sympathies were
elsewhere.
The events of the past few days
have proved a great sensation but,
upon closer inspection they do not
mean a change in the system. 1t is
quite certain neither Emperor Will
lam nor Count Won Buelow will evince
the slightest intention to try to gov
ern with the aid of the liberals or radi-
cal left, nor to dissolve the diet.
Whether the canal bill will reap
pear is uncertain, in spite of the as
of high officials. In any
case the bill is buried out of sight,
for the time, thus meeting the wishes
the conservatives.
Germania promises conservative
centrlsts aid, as heretofore, since no
in Prussia is possible
without the conservatives.
The Deutsche Tages Zeitung and
hrelz Zeitung discreetly priase the
government for averting defeat on the
canal bill by closing the diet. The
regrets closure because of
a number of important bills thus re-

compliments the Yonker party and

SHAMROCK Il GROUNDED
Wind Was Very Light and Cup
Challenger Sustained No
Damage.

Southampton, May 4.-The trial of
the Shamrock II. today had rather an
unfortunate conclusion, for she went
ashore on the bank, close to Warner
light ship. The trial was practically
over, and she came around the light
ship to return to her mornings when
she grounded on the sand. The wind
was very light at the time and she slid
upon the bank with scarcely a per-
ceptible shock. There was not wind
enough to pull her off and the Erin
was signaled to send a launch. but
half an hour elapsed before the launch
came and towed her off without any
difficulty.
Mr. Jameson and Designer Watson
were both on board the Shamrock
when n went aground, and both de-
clare they are satisfied that the yacht
sustained absolutely no damage. There
is no intention of docking her and
there will be no interruption of her
trials.

Vulnerable wells flowing with oil which

up through faults in the formation,
indicating immense reservoirs of oil,
under heavy pressure.
While the great rush of oil inves-

Chicago Reports Attempt to Revive

Chicago, May 4.-The Record-Her-

Gals in Chicago have received infor-
nation that an attempt is being made
to revive the American Railway
union under the name OF The United
Brotherhood of Railway Employees
and to make it even more far reach
ing and powerful than in the days
previous to the Pullman strike. Great
secrecy is maintained concerning the
movement by the men supposed to
be engineering it and by the railroad
officials.
So far as could be learned the move
ment originated with the employees of
the Southern Pacific and the Order of
Railroad Telegraphers is thought to
be the moving spirit. The purpose
is said to be to band together all the
employees of railroads in the United
states in an organization similar to
the n that went to pieces under the
administration of Eugene v. Debs.

After leaving New ORLEANS yester
day, the beautiful Bayou Teche, the
home of the Acadians, and the wav
ing fields of western Louisiana were
passed during the night and the
fields of Texas. whirled by just at the
peep Of day, too early to be seen by
the president. When the party arose
this morning the train was already
flying yer the plains of Texas, which
flowed away toward the horizon in
every direction, level as a board.
Until 4:30 this afternoon, when
Austin was reached, the train passed
in succession through the cotton belt
OF Texas, and the rich agricultural re-
gion beyond the Brazos river, known
as Black Prairie, a much wooded coun-
try and fine grazing land where the
president had his first glimpse of
long-.-orned Texas cattle and pictur-
esque cowboys On western range
horses. The presidents reception in
the Lone Star state was but a continu-
alton of the ovation he has received
throughout the south. Every honor
was shown him and his party and
there was much enthusiasm. Governor
SayeTs and other prominent state
officials met the president at Hous-
ton, the first stopping place inside the
state, and accompanied him as far as
Austin, the capital.
There We're some interesting feat
ures at the reception at Houston and
a very picturesque scene at Prairie
view, Were the president addressed
the colored students of the state nor-
NAL school on a stanu erected on the
open prairie at the side OF the track.
He advised the colored people to do
one thing well. Minute stops were
also made at Hempsted, where the
president shook hands with a number
of people; at Brennan, the home of
Colonel Geddings, one of the presi-
dents old colleagues in the house of
representatives, and at Elgin, at each
of which places he spoke a few words.
At every statlon along the route there
were cheering crowds.
The feature of the day was the re.
ception accorded the party at Aus
tin which, like New Orleans, had
never before had the honor of enter
tanning the chief magistrate of the
nation. The city was profusely dec
GRATED and in the evening there was a
brilliant illumination of Congress ave-
nue. Austin never before held such
crowds Of people. "A procession head

sistlng .of Is companies of the state

BELIEVE IT A MIRACLE.
Use of Microscope on Bleeding Picture
Decides Nothing.

Milwaukee, May "A Sentinel pc
cia from Marinette, Wis, says: At
the request of the Reverends Cleary
and Papon, of Menominee, Mich,
Catholic priests of the Irish and Pol
ish churches, respectively, physicians
made a microscopic examination to-
day OF spots on the bleeding picture.
The doctors were unable to decide
by the use of a microscope whether or
o 1t was blood. They say a chem
lcal analysis is necessary. Both of
the priests mentioned above are in
clined to think that the manifesto
ton is a miraculous one. Candles
are still kept burning about the pic
ture and many people are praying be-
fore it. The fact that two Of the
priests believe that it may yet prove
to be a miracle is causing many to
take the matter more seriously.
