RUSSIA
h Greatly Import Duties
on Leading American Goods.

Washington, February 16.-Count
Cassini, the Russian ambassador. this
afternoon received a cablegram from
the Russian foreign office, confirming
the report of the issue of the decree
imposing increased duties on certain
American imports into Russia, ana
took steps to inform the state depart
ment accordingly. 1t is realized that
a grave crisis has been reached in the
trade relations between the United
States and Russia. The immediate eff
feet Of the Russian decree, when it be-
comes operative on March LIST will be
to increase by so per cent. the duties
on American machinery. steel and iron
goods.
The articles referred to in the Rus
sian decree are machinery and tools Of
every kind, manufactures n products
of castiron and steel Roughly stated
the United States is said to have eX-
ported goods of this description to Rus
STA last year to the amount of about
$50, 600, 900. The addition of so per cent
to the duty will. it is thought, prove
practically prohibitory.
The action taken today means that
the Russian government will not con-
Germ itself with a test "a o await
the issue of such a case. However
there is an expectation that the Ameri-
can importers of Russian sugar viii
make the fight in their own interest.

broken out of one of the windows OF
the basement under the store.
Word was sent to Mr.. Fishblate and
he came down town. A vigorous search
of the store was made, but no burglar
was found. He had evidently broker
in and was waiting until later at night
to enter and rob the store, OF else the
policeman flushed him away before he
could get in.
It was discovered yesterday morn
ing that the shutters had been priced

been inserted between them where they
