TARIFF MAKEs TROuBLE.
Anti German Feeling Is Increased in
Russia.

New York, Aug. 26.-The prevailing
anti-German feeling in Russia. says the
Tim es, has greatly increased since the
proposed new German tariff has been
made public. This is particularly true
Of Poland where even under normal
conditions, great racial animosity ex-
lists between the Teutonic and Slav
elements of the population
In any case 1t seems certain that the
Russian government Will shortly take
steps to prevent the immigration of
Germans into Russian Poland There
are az present according to official fig
ures no fewer than COG, 900 foreigners in
the province of Warsaw of whom 81
per cent. are Germans. According to
the same figures, 1859 foreigners, the
majority of whom are Germans. own
real estate in the province The total
value of this real estate in the hands
of foreigners is 420,O00,000 roubles. The
numerous industrial establishments in
the province of Warsaw are now near
~ all in the possession of Germans
AS the wealth of the rich district of
Warsaw is thus concentrated in the
hands of Emperor Williams subjects,
it is easy to fOresee what would hap
pen in the event of a Russo-German
war The German" question in Po-
land is certainly not one of the least
important which the Russian govern
ment Will be called upon to solve in the
near future.
The new German tariff bill is prin-
cipaly directed against Russia. The
Importation Of Russian wheat into Ger
many was particularly disastrous to
the Agrarians. BY excluding Russian
cereals Germany has undoubtedly dealt
a severe blow to Russian agriculture.
But, on the other hand German man
ufacturers will pay dearly for the tri-
umph of the Agrarians. Hitherto the
annual exports of manufactured ar
ticles from Germany to Russia amount
ed to considerably more than 100000,
600.
The manufacturers of BresIau will
suffer considerably by the cutting off
of this large market for their products,
and while the new German tariff has
caused CONSERVATION in agricultural
districts in Russia, it has been received
with undisguised delight by Russian
m anufacturers.

STARTLED BY SHOTS.
Mysterious Firing and Wound
ing of Horse.

A few pistol shots of mysterious
origin, followed by a scattering of late
visitors is the topic of conversation in
the immediate neighborhood of the
Archie Williams place at 1195 Fillmore
street.
Following is the hackman's story of
the affair:
Between three and four o'clock Sun
day morning, hackman known as
"Cconskin' Travis was called to Jack
son street with his hack. Four men got
in and ordered him to drive to the
Williams place. The only member of
the quartette known to the cabman was
Fred Hodgins. He drove to Mr.. VIII
Hans' house, according to orders, where
two of his fares alighted and rang the
door bell in a way calculated to awake
anyone in the house. The ringing of
the bell was followed by several shots
fired in rapid succession from some I'M
known point in the near vicinity.
Travis found that one of his horses
had been hit in the head by q bullet.
and he therefore made all possible
haste to get out of the way of the fly
ing lead.
Look out. one Of my horses has been
shot,, he said to the two men in the
hack who hastily got out of the car
rIage and left. Travis got back to the
barn the best way he could with his
wounded horse, and that seems to be
all he knows about the case. The ami
NAL was shot through the nose below
the eyes and is not seriously hurt
J. F. farrell, who lives near, heard
the shots and saw the hack turn the
corner and disappear. He also saw
lights in unused rooms. He tells the
following story of the occurrence:
I'VE were startled by several shots
being fired in the vicinity Of Mr.. Will
hams' house and got up at once. I sup
posed that the shooting was done by
burglars and as Archie F. Williams and
Albert Reid sleep in the house 1 was
very much frightened. I saw a hack
swing in from Twelfth street onto Fill
more and the hacknan said one of his
horses had been shot I telephoned foc
the police and then went into the house.
found that both Mr.. Williams and Mr..
Reid were asleep and awakened them
and they had not heard the disturb
ance- saw Mr. Hodgins and he said
that the shooting appeared to come
from the front porch and that the re-
volver was pointed upward. We search
ed the house when the police came but
could find no evidence of burglars"
The neighborhood was greatly excited
over the shooting but no explanation
has yet been found. The hacknan says
that the young men who rode out de-
MED that they did any shooting. He
says he thinks the shots came from an
upstairs window.

= TOO MANY PEACHES.
Chicago Market Glutted and Commits
sion Men Call Halt

Chicago, Aug. 26.=Peaches by boat
load and car load were rotting in Chi
cago for lack of purchasers today. The
fruit was sold at sacrifice prices on
South Water street, a crate of four bas-
kets bringing 25 cents. while single bas-
ketS in some instances were purchased
for as little as cents, but even at that
rate the buyers were too few and thou
sands of dollars worth of the fruit
spoiled on the hands of merchants.
The market was thoroughly g1utted-
From ten states for the last week ship
ments have been breaking all records.
About thirty car loads have arrived by
rail each day, while ten to fifteen car
loads have been brought from Michigan
by the lake daily. Prices have dropped
steadily until today appeals were sent
over the wire to many shippers to send
their peaches to some other market.
The early peach crop of Michigan was
first said to have fallen below the reg
uiar yield. This caused the producers
of Indiana to send their fruit to this
market which they had not done for
two years Other states followed suit.
Then it developed that Nfichigan's early
crop was immense, although it had not
been ready as soon as in previous years

FATE OF THE c. II. & d.
Indications Point to Absorption by
the Erie.

New York. Aug. 26-Inquiry was
made of f. b Thomas, chairman of
the Erie board of directors, as to a. re-
port from Indianapolis that the absorp-
ton was imminent of the Cincinnati
Hamilton & Dayton and the Indiana,
Decatur & Western railroads by the
Erie. Chairman Thomas declined to
talk concerning the report. The suppo-
the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton
was destined for absorption or combi-
nation with another system. Gossip at
one time pointed to the Chicago In
ing road, but rumors of the Erie plan
have been current for some time, and
that the stocks have been in large de-
1nand on the stock exchange for sew
eraI days. There is reason to believe
that the accounts of the Cincinnati,
Hamilton & Dayton and the Indiana,
Decatur & Western are under investi-
cation on behalf Of the Erie.
