Everyone will wish success to Lord Wa1sineham in his attempt to restore that magnificent bird, the great bus +ard 10 it's ancient English home in Norfolk and Suffolk. At present the bustard is only winter wanderer to Britain. but there was time when it haunted II English shires and was known also in the Merse of Berwick shire and the open area of the Lothi- ans. In Norfolk, where the bird aP- pears to have fingered longest, the last two examples were killed ill 1s@s' but 1532 saw the last of ii in Suffolk.

 Letters and TeIegrams.

Buffalo, \. l., Sept. 15.-President Roosevelt passed a very quiet day at the Wilcox house, arranging to at tend the funeral of the late president.

President Mokinley's WilI.

Buffalo, N. T., Sept. 16.-President Mckinley left a will. The instrument was executed some time before the shooting, and at no time during his final suffering was there any wish or occasion to revise it or to frame a codicil. It leaves the bulk of his prop erty to Mrs. Mckinley. How much the estate is worth can not be stated with eNactness by those most familiar with the late presidents business af- fairs, but it is believed to be goodly sum, although not amounting to large fortune.

Grief in the Philippines.

Manila, Sept. 16.-The profoundest grief is manifested by every class in the community over the death of President Mckinley. Gov. Taft has issued a proclamation which explains to the Filipinos that while the death of Mir. Mckinley is an irreparable in- dividual loss it does not alter the sta bility of the government or change the course of the administration. This was considered necessary because the Filipinos thought Mir. Bryan would succeed him, having received the next highest number of the electoral votes.

Washington, Feb. 10.-Yn speaking
to-day of his recent order Imposing a
countervailing duty on Russian sugars,
Secretary Gage said:. ~ ~;
''It is not a question of what the
manufacturers desire, or think ought ~
be. 1t is not q question of what the
sugar refiners or our beet raisers de-
sire, or think ought to be. 1t is Ques.
hon purely of law and fact. Tho Sec
retary of the treasury is sworn to en-
force the law, not to make laws. The
late decision as to the liability Of Rus
Sian sugar to pay a countervailing duty
is based on the departments apprehen-
sion of the law and of the facts. The
board of general appraisers as body
constituted by Congress especially to
hear and judicially determine disputed
questions Of law and Of fact growing
out Of the administration Of customs
laws. Our own citizens take their
grievances there and the importers Of
Russian sugar may take their griev-
ances there. The way lis open for the
prompt hearing and determination of
their grievance ass soon as they appear,

by silence, or to seek judicial review
through the avenue that our laws pro-
vide"

ton, and to-day he sent answers sub

where she will probably remain for

Mrs. Nation sat behind her attorney
and spent most of her time writing up

]. q. DUTIES ON Russia sUGAR

sulaf officers in Russia, this department
has arrived at the 6dnSlusion that Rus
sia Indirectly pays or hestows 2 bounty
ON the export Of sugars, within the
,meaning Of section 5 or the actsof July
"a. 1897, and cOnsequeptly that 1t wns
my duty under the law 10 proclaim the
net amount of such bounties for ASSESS
ments of additional duties, which wns
done BY departments circular ~. 10. of
at is 70 be regrsttea that the Rus
sian minister OF finance should have
considered thif action In the light Of a
discrimination onsour part against Rus
sian commerce, as stated In our recent
daily press, and have Withdrawn from
our imports into Russia the privileges
Of the conventional tariff of that couI-
try to which tho United States is entf-
tied under the most favored nation
clause in our treaty Of commerce artl
navigation with Russia Of 1882. l
1.-The allegation of discrimination aP-
pears to be unfounded in view of the
fact that sugars coming from other
bounty-paying countries. such as
France, Germany, Belgium. The Meth
erlands, ETC.. are subjected to addition
al duties under said section 5,sand that
unless the above-stated conclusion OF
the department is reversed by a compe>
tent tribunal the exemption Of Russian
sugars from additional duty would
rightly be regarded as Discrimination
against them and in favor of Russia,
ut is hoped that upon a proper pre-
sentation of the matter to the Russian
government by our Department OF
State. the reported order of the Russian
minister of finance will be reyoked.'
