RUsSO-AMERICAN TARIFF.
situation Full of Peril but Hope for .
 Settlement ts Ensertained.

St.. Petersburg. Feb. 22-Although
 the situation arising out of the Russo American tariff controversy is unques-
 tionably full of peril, neither well in- formed Americans nor well informed Russians anticipate an unbreaEable deadlock The most hopeful feature of the case is the fact that the political re- lations between the two powers remain absolutely unaffected.
 United States Ambassador Tower, who is in close touch with the Russian foreign office, saidAto-day "The present commercial question will be decided in due time by the proper authorities of both countries. It has not interrupted in the slightest the cordial relations which have always existed between the United States and Russia r
 A fear has been expressed that Amer ican cession would be considered sign of weakness by western Europe, eager ly waiting for an opportunity to make a concerted onslaught upon American experts and the American tariff sys- tenn and that Russian opened the battle with this in view The correspondent of the Associated Press has had an op- portunity to inform himself authorita-a lively on that point and can assert that Russia has no ulterior designs what ever. Assertions to the contrary ars sufficiently discredited by M. DeWttte's we'll known warm sentiment for Amer ican. It is understood that the Rus sian minister of finnnce, doubtless with cut including Russia's great ally, :. France, in his remark, has recently ob- < served: My sentiments for America like Russia's relations with her are warmer and closer than in the case of all Europe"

GERMAN NANGLOPH0BEs REBUKEn
Real Reason of King Edwards visit to
 Germany.

Gcfmany.
 Berlin, Feb. 22.-The semi official North German Gazette to-day prints an inspired rebuke of section of the An glophobic Press for its reference to King Edwards approaching visit to Germa- ny. It says: "The King of England comes to Germany in few days. The reason for the British rulers journey is to be found in the sorely suffering condition of his i1lustrious sister, Elm press Frederick Unfortunately, 1t ia only too certain, therefore. that this visit to Cronberg, being an act of fra ternal piety, is of a purely family char acter. Some German papers, neverths- less, have sought to make a political event of it, with the object of indulging in venomous attacks which cannot fail to pain the emperor most deeply. These attacks betray degree of brutality which deserves to be most severely re- buked."

 from Hill and Cleveland.
 Philadelphia, Feb. 22.-A step which is believed to be preliminary for the unification of the National Democratic party was taken tonight when 200 Pennsylvania democrats and some from other states met at a dinner in the Bull lett building. No organization stood sponsor for the meeting and all shades of democrats were represented. The participants were representative demo- crats to a man.
 John Cadwalader, who presided, ex- plained the object of the dinner. This meeting was called for the purpose of putting the democracy on it's feet' he said, "and to keep it from defeat here after"
 Ex-President Grover Cleveland sent a letter of regret in which he said. T should be pleased to be present on this occasion and testify to my support of the political purposes it's projectors have in view. I am sorry, therefore, that some pressing engagements and work prevent my doing so."
 Ex-Senator David B. Hill wrote as follows: "All such gatherings having for their aim the unification of the dem- ocratic party, a renewal of allegiance to Jeffersonian principles of government and the making of plans for democratic victories deserve the encouragement of all our party friends. We should not be over recent defeats. What we need at this time is unity of ac Lion"

Palmetto for Paper.

Mr.. C. w. Ward, secretary of the
United Land Co, is shipping carload of
saw palmetto fans and fibre from St.
Cloud to New York. The shipment is
consigned TO paper factory, and will be
tested at the expense of the company.
From a preliminary investigation the
company is encouraged TO believe that
the saw palmetto will furnish material for
a good quality of paper, and that it can
be cheaply manufactured on the ground.
Should the experiment prove successful
it is the intention of the company to put
up paper plant at st. Cloud and go into
the business on a large scale. The out
come of the test will he watched with in
terest throughout the state. The supply of
palmetto in South Florida is unlimited,
and its utilization for paper will open an
immense field of industry. 1t will also
add new vaiue to the piney woods and
prairies of the peninsula -Kissimme Ga

Sugar May Solve the Probe m.

Hints have been thrown out that
the Cubans would accept the Platt
amendment if they could be as
sured that Cuba's sugar would be
admitted into our market free of
duty.
1t is not improbable that when
congress meets an effort will be
made either to admit Cuban sugar
free of duty or else To so modify
the duty on that sugar that Cubans
will get for it almost as good a
price as the Louisiana sugar plant
ers get for their sugar.
But bill taking the duty off
Cuban sugar, or greatly reducing
the duty, would meet with stub
born resistance. Louisiana would
never consent to any such meas
ure, and it is certain that there
would be strong opposition to it in
Georgia and Florida, where there
is a large acreage of sugar cane,
and also in half a dozen or more
of the northern states where the
beet sugar industry is assuming
very large proportions.
The Savannah News is correc: in
stating that if the sugar of Cuba
was permitted to come into this
country free OF duty it would be
but a few years before that island
would be producing enough sugar
to supply our market. AS cane
sugar can be produced in Cuba for
less than cane or beet sugar can be
produced in this country, our beet
and cane industries would be
ruined.
1t can readily be seen therefore
that bill to give the Cubans the
benefit of our market free of duty
would not 60 through Congress
with a rush. 1t would require
hard work to get it passed at all.
Indeed it is probable that pro-
position to annex Cuba would
meet with considerable opposition.
We got Hawaii at a heavy cost,
but we don't get much if any more
of Hawaii's trade than we would
if we had not admitted her sugar
free of duty or annexed her.

SENATOR CARsoN's bill to provide
for the proper inspection and anal
ysis of fertilizers and to regulate
the sale of same In this state is a
most important one. The farmers,
fruit growers and truckers have
too many difficulties to encounter
that require their attention in cul-
tivating their crops without Con-
sidering the genuineness and re-
liability of fertilizers, and even if
they had the time they are not all
expert enough to determine which
is poor and which is genuine, So
much depends upon the proper
quality of fertilizer and good seeds
that our legislature connot throw
too many safeguards about these
matters.

THE senate has had a bill under
consideration which requires per-
sons running or operating log, tim
Der or turpentine carts or wagons,
or persons habitually hauling
heavy loads over public roads to
keep such portion of the public
road as is used by them in repair,
and the same has passed both
houses and been sent to the gov
ernor for his approval. In all
sections where clay and shell roads
have been built this measure will
meet with favor, for in many To-
calities newly made roads have
been destroyed or greatly impaired
by hauling heavy loads over them,
especially in wet weather. The
county should not be required to
repair roads where the same is rem
dered useless by such heavy and
wearing traffic, and the proposed
bill is to correct this and make the
persons who damage the roads
keep them in repair.
