Yet it may at times become as exciting a sport

copy of the earliest Dutch edition of Yes
puccis Letters was offered for sale in Amster
dam, Mr.. Brown ordered it at once by cable.
and anticipating a New-York order by about
an hour, secured it, The dealer who sold il
afterward declared that the next mail had
brought many orders. At another time tele-
gram from Mexico brought word that a library

the money could be paid at once The librarian
was Immediately dispatched to Mexico with the
money i'm his pocket, and the books thus secured
added to those already in the library gave the
owner one of the most valuable collection of
Mexican books in existence.
Fortunately. the owners of this library have
never been disposed To treat it a mere mu-
scum and it has accordingly been consulted by
practically every writer of Importance upon
American history. When Sir Arthur Helps was
writing his Spanish Conquest in America he
could not obtain in England a copy Of Puga's
collection of Ordinances printed in Mexico

sent to London for his Galvao's Treatise

luyt searched for il without success for twelve
wears sending in vain even to Lisbon for it. All
he could find anonymous manuscript

Brown library and from this the Hakluyt So
ciety printed its edition.
With a view to making the library more
helpful to scholars, a catalogue in four volumes
was prepared a few years ago and distributed
world This has since become the standard
work Of reference upon early books relating to
America and it is so rarely offered for sale
that a copy has been known TO bring at auc-
ton as much as $50 volume The usefulness
of a private library, however, is necessarily
more or less restricted, and the learned world
will hear with considerable satisfaction that
this rernarka BILE collection. together with rich
endowment is soon to become the property of

EXTRA DUTY ON RUSSIAN SUGAR
Action OF the Secretary of the Treasury
Meets With Many Protests

Washington, February I3.-The state
department and the treasury depart
ment are being deluged with kilograms
from vast business interests protesting
against the imposition of the counter
vailing duty on sugar imported from
Russia Nearly all urge that such ac-
ton will prove ruinous to our export
trade with Russia which already has
attained large proportions. with prom
ise of an increase in the future.
The secretary of the treasury took
this step with great reluctance, and
only after the most patient investiga-
tion as to whether il would injuriously
affect the American trade in agricul-
tural implements. machinery, railway
material and rolling stock, and other
great staples of export to Russia; but
it appeared that there was no way out
Of it if the law was to be enforced
and the secretary was obliged TO mega
tive the Russian contention that the
Russian government actually paid no
bounty on export sugar. such as would
subject it to the United States counter
vailing duty. Secretary Gage. realizing
the Importance of the issue. submitted
it to the attorney general. Mr.. Grigg-
decided that the Russian government
sugar. That decision Obliged Secretary
Gage to instruct the treasury officers
to collect an additional duty on RussIa
sugar amounting to the bounty, which
is calculated at a little less than one
cent per pound.
The Russian government has given
notice that If the attempt is made by
the United States to lay this counter
vailing duty it must respond by i'm
posing the maximum tariff rates upon
American exports to Russia. We are
now enjoying the minimum rate, and
in very few cases the maximum would
be absolutely prohibitive on American
exports to Russia.
Reciprocity Commissioner kaSSon
was asked today as to the current re-
ports that a commercial war between
Russia and the United States might be
precipitated by the determination Of
this government to collect a sum equiv
alent to the bounty on imports of Rus
sian sugar. Mr.. Kasson said the ac
ton of Secretary Gage was designed to
get a final ruling on the subject by the
courts. When the duty Is levied. an
appeal will lie and the courts will set
tie this much disputed point.

REDIsTRICTING THE STATE
to Form the Judicial Dis
tricts-Opposition TO Increasing the
Conversational Districts
Especial to The Messenger }

>
Raleigh, February 13--The house
committee on courts agreed to appoint
a subcommittee of three to cooperate
with a committee of two from the SEN
ate to proceed at once to divide the
counties of the state into sixteen iu-
dicial districts, giving each district thir-
ty-five weeks Of courts. as nearly as
possible. Mr.. Craig said he supposed
the Twelfth judicial district would get
two districts, known as the Fifteenth
and Sixteenth. This joint sub-commit-
tee is to report its work to the joint
committee of the whole. After the bill
forming the counties into districts
passes the general assembly, the COM
mittee will proceed to fix a calendar
of court weeks for each district.
The joint committee on congressional
districts heard discussion on redis strict
ing. Senator James, of Pitt, offered \
resolution that the state consist of nine
districts and elect a congressman at
large. Messrs. Wright and Lynn, of
Rowan; Jordan and Curtis, of Bun:
combe; McNeill and Cook. of Cumber-
land; W. w. King of Stokes; Mason
of CASTOR; Beddingfield. of Wake,
Hackett, Of Wilkes; Glenn, of Forsyth,
and Wilson, of Caswell, spoke in ia
vor of the resolution. The general Ane
of argument by these was that until
an election was held under the consti-
tutional amendment the condition of
affairs was nebulouS and too uncer-
tain to base estimates on. Mr.. Hack
ett as good as said Senator Simmons
favored this view
RediStricting now into ten districts
was strongly advocated by Messrs
Jones and Eaton. Of Forsyth; Blair, of
Montgomery. and Zachary, of Madison.
The committee adjourned without
voting on the resolution Calculations
tonight shows that out of twenty-four
members of the committee, fourteen
favor ten districts while ten, including
the republicans, favor nine districts.
