been exposed and that it averages from

Cassini Learns of Ii.
Washington, Feb. lS.-Count Cassini,
the Russian ambassador, this evening re-
ceived a cablegram from the Russian for
eign office confirming the 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. 1t is realized that a
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 March
l, will be to increase by 90 per cent the
duty ON American machinery, steel and
iron goods. These goods already enjoy
two separate reductions, 30 per cent being
taken oil from the general and 20 per
cent from the conventional duties. The
articles referred to in the Russian decree
are machinery and tools of every kind,
manufactures and products of cast iron
and steel. Roughly stated, the United
States is said to have exported goods of
this description to Russia last year to
the amount of about $30,000,0O0. The adj
dition of 80 per cent to the duty will, it is
thought, prove practically prohibtory.
the action taken means that the Rus
sian government will not concern itself
with a test case nor await the issue of such
a case. However, there is an expectation
that the American importers of Russian
sugar will make the fight in their own
interests. Some cargoes of Russian sugar
are now afloat and on the way to the
United States, where at least one is due to
arrive in the next 10 days. 1t is not
doubted that the consignees in the United
States will, rather than pay the counter
vailing duty, which would make it impos-
sibe to compete with other sugar, make up
test case
The text of the Russian order is as
follows:
AN order of the Russian minister of
finance directs additional tariff of 30 per
cent net on articles included in para
graphs $50, l5l, 1872, 1853 and l6l, and Sec
ton 2, discriminating tariff upon Ameri-
can hardware, iron, steel, boilers, pipes,
forgngs, castings, tools, gas and water
meters, dynamos, sewing machines; also
paragraph 1877 of the Russian tariff laws,
when such articles are of American man
ufacture. This includes motors and ma
chinery of all kinds

st. Petersburg, Feb. lS.-M. De Witte,

IDENTIFY prepared for reprisals before Secre-
tary Gage took final action. M. DeWitte
sent to the senate for publication an
ordinance levying 80 per cent increased
duty on the most important American inn
ports into Russia. The ordinance was
published today in the Official Messenger
and becomes effective March l. This ac-
ton 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 a bounty on
sugar directly or indirectly, and regard
the action taken as hasty, though not UNI
expected. 1t is believed that little harm
would have resulted to Russian interests
if the action of the court had been
awaited.
