ST. Petersburg, Feb. lS.-Thc finance
minister, NJ. DeWitte, has proved his abll
ity to hit quick and hard. He was evi-
IDENTIFY prepared for reprisals before Secre-
tary Gage took final action. NJ. DeWitte
sent to the senate for publication an
ordinance levying 30 per cent increased
duty on the most important American i'm
ports into Russia. The ordinane was
published today in the Official Messenger
and becomes effective March /. This ac-
tion is greatly regretted in American cir
cles, and Americans anticipate much harm
therefrom Well informed Americans do
not believe the supreme court will sustain
the claim that Russia pays bounty on
sugar, directly or indirectly, and regard
the action taken as hasty, though not un-
expected 1t is believed that little harm
would have resulted TO Russian interests
if the action of the court had been
awaited.

Cnssini Learns Of II.
Washington, Feb. ls.-Iount Cassini,
the Russian ambassador this evening re-
ceiyed cabegyam from the Russian for
eign office confirming tine report Of the is
sue OF the decree imposing increased duties
ON certain American imports into Russia,
and took steps to inform the state depart
ment accordingly. II is realized ;nat
grave crisis has been reached in the trade
relations Of the United States and Russia.
The immediate effect of the Russian de
cree, when it becomes operative on Maich
|, will he to increase by 80 per cent the
duty on American machinery, steel and
iron goods. These goods already enjoy
two separate reductions, 80 per cent bein. /,
taken oil from the general and 20 pc
cent from the conventional duties. In,
articles referred TO in the Russian decree
are machinery and tools oi every kind,
manufactures and products oi cast iron
and steel. Roughly stated, the United
States is said to have exported goods Of
this description to Russia last year 10
the amount u dDout S1U,vUJiUJu. lHe du'
dition of 80 per cent to the duty Will, it is
thought, prove practically prohibitory.
The action taken means that the Rus
sian government will not concern itself
with test case nor await the i,sic OF such
case. However, there is an expectation
that the American importers OF Russian
sugar will make the fight III .hri. omn
/ interests Some cargocs Of Russian sugar
are now ahoat and on the way to the
arrive in the next 10 days 1t is not
doubted that the consigncc- in the United
States will, rather than pay the counter.
,ailing duty, which would make it impos-
sible to compete.with other sugar, make up
a test case.
The text of the Russian order is as
follows:
IAN order OF the Russian minister OF
finance directs additional tariff OF 80 per
cent net on articles included in para
graphs 100 Isl, l52, l53 and l6l, and sec.

can hardware iron, steel, boilers, pipes

ANY ane who reads the heartfelt,
emphatic letters that have appeared
from men and women who owe their
health and often their lives TO Paine's
Celery Compound, will be impressed
by the sincerity in every line.
This great modern scientific iuvig-
orator and health-maker is doing an
enormous amount of lasting good
these spring days. Its success in
making people well has had no par
allel in the history of medicine. 1t
has cured thousands of cases of rheu-
matism and neuralgia. many of long
standing that have been despaired OF
by friends and physicians.
Compared with other remedies, its
permanent cures stand out as a noun
tain does beside a mole hill. If all
the men and women who have got rid
entirely of nervous debility, threat
ened nervous exhaustion, sleepless-
ness and such organic troubles as kid
ney, liver and stomach diseases by
its help during the past year alone
could be brought together, what an
army of greatful people it would
make!
Paine's Celery Compound is the
most remarkable medical achieve
ment of the last fifty years. Take 1t
now, it's spring. ...

Yates is to Illinois what Roosevelt

Mr.. Edward II. Sauyain Is manager of

While Lieutenant Governor Cald-
well declined to commit HIM
self upon the subject, it is practically
assured that he will not be a candidate
for denomination. John A. Rorick of
Fulton county, IA member OF the state
board of equalization and former
state Senator, and A. G. Reynolds, Of
Painesville, speaker of the House of
Representatives, are the men most
talked about as probable nominees.
The latest report, however, is to the
effect that the candidate will be chosen
from Hamilton county, in order to as
sist in carry Cincinnati for Nash

cellent remedy.

RICHARD YATES.
The more intelligent portion of
every community are the ones who
best recommend Paine's Celery Com,
pound. They have looked into this
great remedy, followed its remarka-
bic achievements in the cases of
friends, neighbors and relatives and
know just what to expect from its
use as a nerve and brain strengthened
and reStorer. and an ideal invigOrator
for a rundown system.
There is less hesitation nowadays
among well-informed people in at
tending TO the beginnings of poor
health. 1t is well known that disease
is progressive and cumulative, easy
to drive out at the start, but a menace
to life when allowed to entrench it
self in any organ of the body. If
people would consider headaches,
rheumatism, neuralgia, sleeplessness,
Indigestion and languid feelings in
their true light and as seriously as
they deserve to be, and make stand
against them at once by means of
Paine's Celery Compound, there
would he a wonderful diminution in
the amount of kidney, liver and heart
disease.

johnson and Mclean
Want Senatorship.
What Is Doing on the Republican
Side.
Especial Correspondence.)


the recent municipal elections in Ohio
has made the Democrats very hopeful
of success this fall. With a strong
candidate for Governor, they will
state ticket and d majority of the
Legislature. With Cleveland, Toledo
and Columbus under the complete con-
troll of the Democratic party, the lead
ers figure that they should carry at
least three of the big legislative dis
tricts. Under the new apportionment,
they will gain one Senator in Lucas
county and there seems to be a good
fighting chance III both Hamilton and
Montgomery counties.
1t is almost certain that Tom l..
Johnson's influence will carry Cuya-
hoga county and there is no doubt at
all about Lucas. With Colonel Kill
bourne as the candidate, Franklin
county would probably fall into the
Democratic column-and that is a good
start toward the defeat of Foraker for
reelection.
In case Of IL Democratic victory, the
question of Foraker's successor is an
interesting one. Tom Johnson has long
wished to secure seat in the United
States senate and so has John Il. Nc
leau. Mr.. johnson also wishes to be
the presidential candidate in 1904, and
whether he will stand aside in 1901 is
a problem. One thing is certain--he
will not be the candidate for Governor,
but will give the city of Cleveland the
best possible administration through
out his term as Mayor.
John j. Lentz is building up a strong
machine in Franklin county, for, since
the recent municipal election in this
city, he has secured complete control
of the city Democratic machine. He
will undoubtedly be one of the candi-
dates for the office of Governor before
the Democratlc state convention and
he may be able to break Colonel Kill
bourne's strength in his own county
Colonel Kilbourne Is far the more pop
ular man among the rank and file of
the Democracy here and he would make
the stronger candidate.
He is the man of whom the Repub-
lican leaders in this city are most
afraid and they sincerely hope that
Mr.. Lentz will be able at least to di-
vide the Franklin county delegation.
General Dick and John II. Malloy
will direct the work of the Republican

In case his services We're needed, some

stood since his successful campaign
of 1900 that he would serve again as
head of the committee.
There was more doubt in the case
of Mr.. Malloy, who consented to ac-
cept the secretaryship only at the ear
nest solicitation of prominent Republi-
can leaders. The. name Of Hon. j. e.
Blackburn, state dairy and food COM
missioner, has been mentioned in CON

cause against aggression from the

Mr.. Maurice Low, transatlantic
correspondent of Harper's Weekly
commenting on the reconstruction Of
the Transvaal, discusses the alien
feeling Of the citizens of Quebec where
French is officially tolerated, and COM
pares it with the warm loyalty to
Great Britain in Lower Canada where
French has not equal standing with
English.
Mr.. Low says. "In Lower Canada
the French have only a very faint
sentimental regard for France, and
are loyal to the British crOwn-there
is no stronger lOyalist than the pres =
ent Premier, a Frenchman by birth
and education and Catholic in re-
ligiOn-but the mistaken policy Of
the British government in having
permitted French to have equal
standing with English has kept the
great majority Of the inhabitants Of
the province Of Quebec alien in
thought as we'll as in language. That
province is less progressive than any
other part Of the Dominion. The
quickest, and perhaps the surest. way
to race assimilation is a common Ian
guage. The United States has prac-
tically demonstrated that"
"What England has to fear more
than anything else is racial antago-
nism. The Boer who does not speak
English will look upon the English
man as tyrant. He will hate him
with all the passionate vehemence
which ignorant, narrow-minded, ia
natical men are capable of feeling;
and the fewer emotions a man has
the more extreme he becomes. The
justice which England metes out will
mean nothing to him, but the English
flag will perpetually remind him of
his wrongs"
