RUSSIAN SUGAR MUST PAY TAX.
Cars Laws Are Construed as Paying q
Bounty the Export.

Bounty on the Export.
Washington, ID. c.. Feb. 1S,-The
secretary of the treasury has imposed
counteryailing duty of 80 copeks, or
about 81 cents per pood "a little over
thirty three pounds, on all refined su-
gars imported into the United States
from Russia. This is in accordance
with the provisions of the tariff law.
After quoting the law the secretary
says: I'm the present case the facts
are involved and the conclusions to be
drawn from them are correSpondingly
difficult. At the conference of dele
gates on the question of sugar boun-
ties, held in Brussels in June. 1898, the
Belgian and Austrian delegates con-
tended that the Russian government
regulations resulted in an indirect
bounty on exported sugar equal TO the
difference between the price exclusive
of excise tax of sugar sold in that
country for home consumption, and
the price of sugar sold for export.
Russia, on the other hand, protests
with great vigor that by no act of
hers is any bounty or grant paid or
bestowed on the expectation of sugar.
Do the Russian government
regulations have such a bearing upon
the facts of the case as to bring Rus
siaen sugar within the intent of said
law as disclosed by its terms? While
the question of it's initiative lies with
the administration of the treasury de-
partment the question is of a judicial
rather than of an administrative char
acter. and RS Importance demands de-
termination by judicial tribunal.

ANONYMOUS LETTER IS STRUCK OUT
Secretary Gage Decides That Russian
Sugar Must Pay the CountervaiI-
ing Tariff Tax.

Washington, Feb. 13. = The house
yesterday passed the army appropria-
ton bill and entered upon considera-
tion of the sundry civil bill. the last
but one of the big money bills. The
debate on the army bill was confined
largely to discussion of the question
of passing bills to remove the charge
of desertion against soldiers, and was
made notable by statement of Me
Clellan of New York comparing the
cost of the soldier in European armies
with the cost in the United States. Ac-
cording to his figures, including the
cost of pensions, etc, each United
States soldier involved an expense of
81. S2S, while a German soldier costs
1927 and a French soldier $232. Pre-
vious to consideration of the appro-
priation bills the letter rejecting upon
Perry s. Heath, which SulZer intro
duced into the proceedings Monday
Kas expunged from the record.
Says He Smoked Him Out.
During the debate upon the motion
to eXpunge SulZer renewed his attack
upon Heath, relterating his statement
of Monday that he was willing to faith
er the statements in the letter. SulZer
said he was at a loss to understand
the anxiety to protect the character
of Perry s. Heath, who was not Il
member of the house, while his party
associates were exulting delightedly in
the attack upon his personal character
and reputation. Il stand here" he
continued, 'and say that no man in
this house can charge me with any
offense whatever or with any miscon-
duct. My life is an open book, and
when the gentleman from Pennsyl-
vania yesterday attacked me 1 felt
justified in smoking out the culprit
who was responsible for the charges.
And 1 did smoke him out," Sulzer
shouted, with arms upraised. Il had
the coura ge to stand here yesterday

Hartford City. Ind, ,Feb. 13.-Great
excitement among Oil Spectators con-

The road scenes out of Hartford
City were reminders of an army wa

ter of the vehicles. The remarkable
gusher spurts thousands of barrels OF
oil daily. Dams have been built, and
the oil is now being saved and pumped
into pipes from the dams as fast as

W. u. Snyman, commandant on Cen
eral Christian DeWet's staff, in reply
to published letter purportlng to have
been written to General DeWet by his
brother, Piet DeWet. This letter urged
General DeWet to surrender to the
British forces. After reviewing the
letter Snyman says: II am inclined to
think that this letter. like the book of
Paul Botha is of British manufacture.
Knowing my people as do. l say here
that it does not lie in the power of
President Steyn, General DeWet or
any other person to surrender uncondi-
tionally. This is war fought by the
people, not by generals and presidents,
and can never be ended except by
unanimous consent of the burghers.
Under present circumstances, why
should the Beers give up? They have
lost everything; all they can now
gain is their country and freedom. for
which they are fighting and will fight
to the end"
