RUSSIA PAYS BOUNTY
ACCORDING TO DECISION BY JUDGE
MORRIS IN FEDERAL CIR
CUT COURT
EXTRA TARIFF DUTY GOES
If Decision Is Sustained 1t Means
Prohibitiye Rates in Russia
to Exclude American
Goods.

BALTIMORE. Oct. -12.-Judge Morris,
OF the United States circuit court, today
handed down his decision in the Russian
sugar bounty cases, upholding the action
of Collector Stone in levying an extra
tariff duty of 70 cents a hundred pounds
on sugar imported to this country from
Russia by Robert e. Downs, a commits.
sion merchant of this city.
Mr.. Stones action was taken in ac-
cordance with a circular order of the
treasury department. dated Dec. IL, 1898,
ing that the Russian government allowed
a bounty of that amount.
The attorney for Mr.. Downs, in his
argument before Judge Morris, claimed
that Russia paid no bounty on sugar, and
that the legislation in that country which
gave rise to the action of the treasury
department. was simply an attempt to
avoid the evils of over production.
To do this it was enacted that all
sugar produced above a prescribed
amount should be taxed double. This
prescribed amount is distributed among
the different manufacturers proportionate
to their total production. Seaport manu-
facturers in the practical operation of the
law are allowed to exchange their surplus
sugar for an equal amount of the green
sugar Of an inland manufacturer without
the goods passing.
The district attorney for the govern
ment argued that the Russian govern
ment practically said to it's manufacturer:
"The more sugar you produce, the more
you may sell at home" and gave to every
exporter certificate which had a market
value on the exchanges of two cents o
pound; and that this was virtually a
bounty on exported sugar.

DOWAGER GIVES ORDERS
SAYS CHINESE METHODS MUST BE
REFORMED
Opening of PeI1in to Foreign Trade
to BE Discussed When Com
merciaI Treaties Are
Negotiated.

PEKIN, Oct. 12.-The dowager. empress
has issued two edicts, one of which es-
taolishes three new boards and abolishes
many minor offices. The other admon-
lshes officials to enforce the reforms de-
creed in recent edicts and says: Myself
and the emperor for the past year have
slept on wormwood and eaten galP'-s
chinese metaphor for nourishing venge-
ance. The edict goes on to say that the
board of national administration. Yuns
Lu, controller general of the revenue
board and others urge the court to in
form the whole empire that it is de-
termined to execute reforms and enjoins
ofhclals to study and adopt the western
methods recommended by Viceroys Liu
Kun vi and Chang Chih Tung.
No trifiing measures" says the edict,
will restore prosperity. The destiny OF
the government, whether for happiness
or destruction, is involved in these re-
forms which will make China inde-
pendent"
The foreign ministers at a meeting to-
day determined to evict foreign mer-
chants occupying houses without the con-
sent of the owners. They do not desire
to disturbthose who were established be-
fore the siege. 1t was decided also that
the question of opening Pekin to foreign
trade shall be taken up when commercial
treaties are negotiated and that mean
while the Chinese shall collect an octrot
equivalent to the transit dues of u per
cent on goods not paying the latter.

ARE SWINDLED
NERVY YOUNG MEN GETS AWAY
WITH THOUSANDS.

CHICAGO, Oct. PA young man rep
resenting himself to be member of
the South Water street commission
firm of Watson & Co., succeeded In
swindling Michigan farmers out OF
thousands of dollars worth of produce
and fruits last week. Armed with
stencils bearing the name of that COM
mission firm and pretending to be George
]. Watson Sr., of the firm, he bought
the fruit, shipped it to Chicago on the
City of Milwaukee, sold it and disap-
peared. The checks with which he
bought the fruit turned out to be worth
less
He made euieK purchases and did not
haggle on the prices. On the day of de-
livery he paid for the produce by checks
drawn on the Prairie State Bank of
Chicago. He signed them George ].
Watson Sr. The checks were accepted
without question.
When the fruit arrived at chicago the
fictitious Watson went to the firm Of
Watson & Co., and sold the entire con-
signment to them and was paid In cash.
That is the last seen Of him.
Now Tie Michigan banks are looking
to the farmers for the payment of the
checks for which they are liable
