vision at the coming session Of congress
In Washington, as in Ohio, Mark Hanna $

The trusts are doing wcH enough and
want to be .let alone" Sane Democrats
will demand tariff for revenue only,

RUSSIA HITS BACK.
Tariff War Takes New Turn..A High Impos
on White Resin and BICYCLES.

Washington (Special).-The Russian
Ambassador, Count Cassini has com.
municated to the State Department
that in consequence Of the action OF
the American Government through a
Treasury order OF March last, apply
ing tariff restrictions against Russian
petroleum imported in this country,
the Russian Minister OF Finance, M
Dewitte, has issued an order dated
June 7, imposing the high tariff rate
OF the Russian schedule on American
white resin, under Article 81 of the
Russian tariff law, and increasing the
rate on American bicycles, under Ar
ticle I73 of the Russian laws.
This action is entirely apart from
that taken in connection with Russian
sugar, and is a new development in
the discriminatory duties imposed by
this Government and the retaliatory
duties imposed by Russia. The order
OF the Russian Minister is to take ef
feet next Friday, or two weeks from
the date OF its issuance.

LIVE NATIONAL AFFAIRS.
The aAmerIcan Red Book" "

The American Red Book for 1893,
comprising the foreign relations during
the eventful period of the Spanish
American War; has just made its ap-
pearance. 1t contains an exhaustive
summary of official correspondence.
1t appears that just before the war
with Spain broke out Minister Wood
ford, at Madrid sent word that the
Queen Regent, yielding to the request Of
the Pope, was about to decree a termina-
tion of the war in Cuba for a period of
six months. Mr. Woodford was hopeful
this would avert a crisis in the trouble
between Spain and the United States, but
this hope was not realized, as Congress
soon after adopted the resolutions of in
tervention.
The foreign relations with other coun-
tries during 1893 also are treated. Mr..
Sherman, then Secretary of State, had
spirited exchange with the Austrian Min
lister at Washington, Mr., Henglemulier.
The latter had said that his Government
would hold the United States Govern
ment responsible for the rioting at Lat
timer, Pa. Mr. Sherman took sharp is
sue with the remarkable language
used by the Minister and registered an
absolute dissent from some of his views.
