Free List.
WASHINGTON" .sHR-- 12,--The state
department has received a cabegram
from Commissioner Rockhill at Picking
reporting that the draft of the final proto-
col has been agreed upon.
A tariff of per cent 6d valorem, effect
i've, will be put in force'two months after
the signing of the final protocol, excepting
on goods shipped within ten days after
signing, and will continue until the con-
version to specific rates has been effected
by the expert commission.
The Chinese free list will include rice,
foreign cereals and -four gold and silver
bullion and coin.
Mr.. Rockhill's advices that cereals and
-four have been included in the free list
of the new Chinese tariff is regarded as
an important provision owing to the
growth of American exports of wheat and
-four to China. In 1899 these amounted
to 81, 29S, 033, which was almost double
the shipments of the preceding year The
trade has continued to increase, and the
Pacific coast interests have looked for
ward to supplying China with consid-
cradle part of her consumption of wheat
and -four, most of which heretofore has
gone from Atlantic ports around the
Horn

RUSSIAN SPIES ARE HERE.
They Are Keeping Watch of NihiIists
who Seek Refuge IN
America.

The Russian secret police are prob
ably the most skillful in the world;
| they need TO be. In the days of Ma
poleon III. the police of France had
| that reputation. They haven't il now
| for the best of reasons. An emperor
needs skillful spies in all the world
a republic doesn't. Russia has had its
lessons in the death of the late ear
| and in the many attempts made upon
| the present ruler. SO the chief of 70
litical police keeps agents in every
| great city in the world. New York,
| where so many Russian nihilists have
found refuge; San Francisco and Chi
cago are especially favored in this
way. Escaped convicts from Siberia
sometimes drift to the Pacific coast.
while Chicago is watched on general
principles. New York, however, is get
ting to be more and more the chief
object OF the solicitous attentions of
the cars people, says the Chicago
| Chronicle
The spies who keep tab on nihilists
in America always claim to be nihil-
lists themselves. 'exiled for their po-
litical views, or escaped suspects. 1t
is their plan to secure admittance to
some of the many nihilist circles here
and keep the police informed of what
goes on.
| So long as the nihilists confine
themselves to speechmaking nothing
is done about it. But if one of them
should start for ST. Petersburg with
such a mission as that which took
Bresci from Paterson the home au-
thorities would be warned and stand
ready to receive him after certain
well-known precedents. As for the
spy. his is a dangerous life. If sus-
pected he may become at almost any
time the hero Of a mysterious murder

elder CHANGED to glance over my

The most you can hope to discover is
the preponderance of the doubt"
