South Carolinian, who has been a thorn
in the side of friends of pension bills for
several years, put the bills through with
great rapidity. He seemed to relish the
work, and the members of the House,
who were at first amazed, applauded him
to the echo as he proceeded under full

THE FERTILIZER TRUST.
The Charleston Mining and Manu-
facturtng Company Bought for
the sum of &I,SO0,OOI.

Charleston, 5. G.. Feb. 22.-lt was learn
ed here to-day that the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Chemical Company. commonly known as
the fertilizer trust, has bought out the
Charleston Mining and Manufacturing
Company. The latter concern owned 200
acres OF the best phosphate land in the
world. located in Charleston. Berkely and
CoEeton counties. and only recently ef-
forts were made to induce 1t to put up
million dollar plant here. The price paid
for the stock of the Charleston Mining
Company was $3.50 and the total sum
involved is $3.50 coo. AS long as this COM
pany was Independent it was constant
menace 60 the so-cailed trust, and now
that it has been bought, the Virginia
Carolina concern has virtual control of
the fertilizer situation in the South. The
Charleston Mining and Manufacturing
Company is owned almost entirely by
Philadelphia capitalists. 1t began opera
ton in 1867 and has perhaps carried more
handsome dividends on its original outlay
than any corporation in South Carolina.

THE RUSSIAN POSITION.
officially stated From St Petersburg.
An UnbreakabIe Deadlock Not
Expected.


-, Petersburg, Feb. 22.-Although the
..tuation arising out of the Russo-Ameri-
an tariff controversy is unquestionably
..sl of peril, neither we'll informed Amer
ans nor we'll informed Russians antici-
rate an unbreakable deadlock. The most
,opefui feature of the case is the fact
NAT the political relations between the
,yo Powers remain absolutely unaf'
fected.
A fear has been expressed that any
American concession would be considered
, sign of weakness by Western Europe,
eagerly waiting for an opportunity 10
make a concerted onslaught upon Ameri-
,,an exports, and the American tariff sys-
tenn and that Russia opened the battle
with this in view. Russia, however, has
no Interior designs whatever. NJ. De-
Witte has a well known warm sentiment
for America.
Russia's sugar policy is authoritativeiy
eNpained as follows:
"Conformably to law, the minister an
nually fixes the amount of sugar to be
produced and disposed of on the domestic
market This amount increases every
wear as the consumption increa ses. The
minister also fixes the maximum domes-
4ae price, which diminishes each year.
american Exports Are Bounty Fed.
There is no truth whatever in the
statement that permanently high prices
are contemplated by the Russian policy
An American exports are bounty fed, for
American protection assures the trusts
high prices in the domestic market and
enables them to export advantageously.
Russia, in applying the same principle
is authorized, without weighing blow for
blow on a gold-bearer's scales, to re-
ta.iate upon all American exports of
manufactures"
This analysis overlooks the point that
producers share in the domestic cousump-
ton in proportion to the total production
of previous years.
No one here denies that the Russian
system fosters expectation, as the do
nestle market being assured, producers
can manufacture a surplus on a smaller
margin of profit; but it is argued forci-
bly, that a mathematician would have
difficulty in computing in dollars and
cents the amount of this moral support
of producers by the government.
Perhaps it would not be far from the
truth to surmise that NJ. DeWitte was
particularly annoyed at Secretary Gage
because he had believed Russia's astute
sugar legislation to be absolutely unas-
sailable 1t should be borne in mind, how
ever, that this legislation long ante-dates
the American countervailing duties
