RUSSIA'S PROPOSAL.
M. de Witte's Offer Cannot Be
Accepted.
LATEST PHASE OF THE TARIFF WAR.
The Cznr's Minister of Finance WILL
ing to vacate All Additional Du-
ties on American Goods If We
VIII Vacate Action on Sugar.

WASHINGTON, July 1O.-Another
important exchange has occurred between
the Russian government and the United
states relative to the tariff. The Russian
minister of finance, NJ. de Witte, has
proposed that Russia will vacate all of
the additional duties levied on American
goods since the imposition of the sugar
differential IL the United States will va
cate its action on the sugar differential.
To this Secretary Gage has replied that
the offer OF the Russian government can
not be accepted, as the question of the
sugar differential is now in the hands OF
the court, thus precluding action by the
executive branch. These exchanges, al
though made nominally by the minister
OF hnance and Secretary Gage, have gone
through the medium of the Russian for
eign office and the state department.
The proposition of the Russian minister
OF finance was the direct result of Secre-
tary Hays note of about two weeks ago.
In that note Mr.. Hay pointed out rtnt
the action taken as to petroleum was not
new, nor was ii meant to have any con
nection with the previous action of the
government on sugar. This appears to
have reconciled the Russian officials in
their view that the petroleum order was
only another step in the policy previously
taken respecting sugar.
Accordingly NJ. de Witte's response was
communicated to Washington Count
Lamsdorf forwarding it to Nj. de VOL
liant, the Russian charge here. II is not
long, but is quite to the point. 1t makes
no further issue as TO the petroleum or
der. The chief attention is given TO sugar,
and the specific offer is made to vacate
Immediately the increased duties which
Russia has levied if the United States
Will vacate its action on sugar. This
would amount to re-establishing the
status quo which existed before the Unit
ed States took its initial action relative to
RuSsia
