MR. CAGES ACTION ENDORSED
The Cabinet Approves of His Rus
sian Petroleum Tarin Order

Secretary Gage occupied large part OF
the time Of the Cabinet meeting today in
discussing the Russian tariff controversy
He took 10 the White House copies Of
Treasury circulars and other documents
which form a history OF the steps that
nave been taken under the DingIey Tariff
law relative to imports Of petroleum and
petroleum products.
Mr. Gage reiterated his statement that
the order of March last in regard tn
petroleum had not been directed against
Russia any more than against any other
/ country, and lie characterized the whole
! matter as trivial. He believes that Rus
sia's action n advancing duties on va
[ TIouS articles Of American production
/ was taken as result of d fnisunterstand-
ing.
The action of Secretary IGage was en-
dCrsed by the Cabinet, although il is IN
deTstoCd that Secretary Hay does not
cordially approve of the step taken He
fears that it viii have the effect Of dis
/ rurtIng in measure the. friendly reIa-
uons now existing between this Govern
ment and Russia. He anticipates that a
/ breach II commercial relations may az
feet interna tional relations in which Rms
sia and the United States have hereto
fore acted together, especially during the
} Chinese troubles. 1t is thoroughly under
( stocd, as Count Cassini has made it plain
! to Secretary Hay, that Russia will rot re-
eede from the position she has taken in
this matter
Inc Russian petroleum which has been
coming into the United States has been
shipped from England where it is refined
There has been as a matter of fact some
little question as to which country the
crude petroleum came from originally. al
though now there seems to be but little
doubt that the great bulk of it came from
Russia. consequently Secretary Gage ap-
Piled the highest duty required OF any
country This has had the effect Of arous-
ing the Russia1s more than If a moderate
duty had been exacted.
The Dingley law, it is pointed out, stip-
uiates explicitly that the duty shall be
levied in the case Of petroleum against
the country of origin" and hence no mat
ter where the oil is refined the duty must
be collected if the country of origin i'm
poses a duty on American petroleum.
This is the point whi1n sustains Secre-
taTy Gage in his action. 1t has been de-
cided that there shall be no change for
the present and that as long as the law
STANDS IS it now is the duty must be paid.
The members do not anticipate 4 tariff
war between the two countries II is

Gus interference to trade. The CONNER

action Of Russia are cIamoring for relief

Treasury 20 abate the duty but they have
been told that the law viii not permit

livered 9 terrific blow straight from the
shoulder squarely in the face SeIphs
hands dropped TO his sides and he fell
backward like a log, his neck having been
broken by the blow.
