FACING TARIFF WAR
The Duty on Russian Sugar
ArOuses the Bear,
Threatens to Impose Max mum Raes on Our Ex.
porls to Russia. IateresIs Htra Protest
Against Sugar Duty.
(By the Assoelated Press.l }

Washington, Feb. 12.--The State De-
partment and the Treasury Department
are being deluged with kilograms from
vast interests protesting against the
imposition of the countervailing duty
on sugar imported from Russia. Near
ly all urge that such action will prove
ruinous to our export trade with Rus
sia which already has attained large
proportion, with promise of an increase
in the future.
The Secretary of the Treasury took
this step with great reluctance, and
only after the most patient investiga-
ton as to whether it would injuriously
affect the American trade in agrieul-
tural implements, machinery, railway
material and rolling stock. and other
great staples of export to Russia. i'ut
it appeared that there was no other
way out of it if the law was to be en-
forced ana the Secretary was obliged
to negative the Russian contention taat
the Russian Government actually paid
no bounty in export sugar. such as
would subject it to the United States
countervailing duty. Secretary Gage,
realizing the Importance of the issue.
submitted it to the Attorney General
Mr.. Griggs decided that the Russian
Government practically paid bounty
on export sugar. That decision obIig-
ed Secretary Gage TO instruct the
Treasury officers to collect an addi-
tional duty on Russian sugar amount
ing to the bounty, which is calculated
at little less thana 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 i'm
very few cases the maximum would be
absolutely prohibitive on American ex-
ports to Russia.
Reciprocity Commissioner Kasson
was asked today as to the, current -Ye-
ports that a commercial war between,
Russia ana the United State might be
precipitated by the determination of
this Government to collect a sum equiv
alent to the bounty on imports or Riis-
sian sugar. Mr.. Kasson said the action
of Secretary Gage was designed to get
a final ruling on the subject by the
courts. When the duty is levied, an ttp-
peal will lie and the courts will settle
this much disputed point. Mr. Kasson
regards the Secretarys action as most
conciliatory; he hoped that Russia win
await the determination of the courts.
He pointed out that the chances are
equal that the decision win be in favor
of Russia. In the meantime he said
it would be most unfortunate If Russia
should not consider this action in a
friendly spirit.
Russia has regular tariff schedule.
but by commercial treaties she was
granted reduced rates. Although we
have no reciprocity treaty with Russia
she has given us the benefit of these
reduced rates.

THE AMNESTY BILL
The bin to repeal chapter 16 of volume
2 of the Code created little political
talk, and was passed by strictly party
vote. This measure provides that no in
dletments begun under the election law
as laid down in the Code and the Acts
of 1900 shall be prosecuted, unless the
action was commenced within thirty DAYS
after the commission OF the offence
charged. 1t might BE called an amnesty

MIR. Blythe called for explanation of
the bill, ard Mr.. Rountree explained it
somewhat as follows: 1t is well known
that from 1895 10 1899 the State was un-
der the control of the Fusionists The
results in Eastern North Carolina were,
as every one knows, most disastrous,
The election of 1893 was more of social
and political revolution than an election.
The Legislature OF 1899 determined to
put the control Of affairs into the hands
of the responsible. educated, God-fearing,
tax paying people of the State. In car
rying Out that purpose they submitted a
constitutional amendment 10 the people.
which caused one of the hot
test and birterest campaigns ever
known. During that campaign here
were very possibly some infractions
of the law on both sides The people by
hauling up of election officers and pri-
vate citizens before the courts, and are
anxious for peace.
This bill applies to both parties alike
for it appears thar there are indict-
ments against election officers on both
sides. The object Of the bill is to declare
an amnesty.
