A GRAND CRISIS REACHED.
Washington, Feg. 16.--Count Cassini,
the Russian Ambassador, this afternoon
received a cablegram from the Russian
Foreign Office confirming the report of
the issue of the decree imposing increas-
ed duties on certain American imports
into Russia, and took steps to inform
the State Department accordingly. 1t is
REALIZED that grave crisis has been
reached in the trade relations between
the United States and Russia. The i'm
mediate effect of the Russian decree
when it becomes operative on March LIST
will be to increase by fifty per cent the
duties on American machinery, steel
and iron goods
The articles referred to in the Rus
sian decree are machinery and tools of
every kind, manufactured and products
of cast iron and steel. Roughly stated
the United States is said to have export
ed goods of this description to Russia
last year to the amount of about $780,,
100000. The addition of so per cent TO
the duty WILL it is thought, prove prac-
tically prohibitory.
The action taken today means that
the Russian Government will not con-
Germ itself with test case nor await
the issue of such case. However there
is an expectation that the American
importers of Russian sugar will make
the fight in'their own interest.

twelve years, she may be released in

THE CASE.

The present agitation for the re
lease of Msr. Maybrick, the American
woman confined in an English pris.
on for the murder of her husband by
poison, bids fair to have no better re.
suits than those which have preceded
it. When Edward assembled the
throne it was said with much conf
dence that he would favor her re-
lease, being credited with having ex-
pressed, while still prince of Wales,
his doubt of her guilt and sympathy
with the woman. Although he has
been on the throne long enough to
have acted, had he been so disposed,
in her behalf, it is noticeable that
she seems no nearer restoration to
liberty than she was months ago.
Last week it was published that she
had been ordered released, but the re-
port was contradicted as promptly as
the contradiction could be made pub
lie.
Now comes a story, which, If true,
explains the persistent refusal of the

LATEST in INJUNcTloNs.

The latest and probably one of TIL,
most amusing and interesting uses te
which it is sought to apply the power
OF injunction as vested in the courts
is in a case now pending at Toledo
Ohio. A young, and presumably pref
ty, girl has appealed co the district
court of that place to issue an iniunc.
ton against a man to prevent. him
from making love to her, as it seems
MS attentions are not acceptable to
the petitioner. An interesting feature
OF the case is that the defendant in
the action is a lawyer. Whether he in.
tends to resist the petition, and if so,
whether he intends to act as his own
counsel or secure the services of
some brother attorney, the dispatch
does not say. In her petition the fair
complainant alleges that the defen-
dant has pestered the life almost out
of her for months past by his persis-
tent attentions and efforts to force
himself. upon her and that all other
methods employed to secure relief
having failed she is forced to invoke
the aid of the courts. She asks that
the injunction be made so far reach
ing that the defendant may not even
address letters to her, either through
the mails or by messenger, and that
he be forever enjoined from hang
ing about her abode and from follow
ing her or speaking to her.
When things reach sucn a pass as
this it is not to be wondered that
some people are rebelling against the
indiscriminate issuing of injunctions
and that we are told this is getting
to be a government by Injunction"
When the courts are to be given the
power to restrain a man from trying
to woo and win a pretty girl whom
he has set his heart upon to have for
a wife it is time that something were
done, for such curtailment of personal
liberty and privilege is repugnant to
the very genius of a free and enlight.
ened government, such as this is sup
posed to be-. For the sake of the poor,
infatuated young disciple of Coke
and Blackstone it is to be hoped that
the presiding judge is himself young,
unmarried and badly in love, so that
justice may be done in the premises.

AS a rule Butte is not much of a
place to which to look for reforms,
but when it does take a notion in that
direction it goes at it the same as it
does at any other matter that it
thinks it should have. At it's last
meeting the city council of the big
mining camp instructed the city at.
torney to prepare a draft for an ordi.
nance to prohibit expectoration on
the sidewalks. Some of the aldermen
do not seem to be strongly in favor
OF the innovation, as they are tobac.
co chewers. but the majority seems
to be committed to such an ordinance
and it will probably be adopted. Bill
1ngs is not prepared to go that ex-
tent Of cleanliness, but some hope is
entertained that the authorities may
yet follow the suggestions of The Gaz-
cite and order the living statues that
congregate about the principal street
corners to erect pedestals somewhere
else and give the public a dhance to
use the walks. If they are compelled
to do this the sidewalks in the bust
portion of the city will prob
ably less resemble lakes and rivers of
sputa than they do now.
