Russian tariff law, and increasing the

coUNTERVAILiNG DUTY.
Special Tariff for Sugars Imported
From Italy.

From Italy. -
Washington, June 1.-THE secre-
tary of the treasury has issued to Gus
toms officers the following circular, in
terposing a countervailing duty on
beet sugar imported from or the pro-
duct of Italy:
an view of the information thus far
received as to the operations Of the
law of Italy now in force, concerning
the excise on sugar, it appears highly
probable that sugars produced In that
country receive indirect export -boun-
ties as follows:
Sugars below No. 20. Dutch stand
ard, $50 francs per 100 Kilograms;
sugar No. 20. Dutch standard and
above, 6.15 francs per leo Kilograms.
Pending further investigation Of the
matter the liquidation of all sugars
imported from or produced in Italy
shall be suspended and these duties
shall be estimated In amount sufficient
to cover addition duties equal to the
above specified bounties.'
1t Is stated at the treasury depart
ment that until recently Italy has pro-
duced only sufficient sugar for home
consumption, but that latterly there
has been a surplus and that this ex.
cess Is now bounty fed as stated. Up
to this time there have been prac-
tically no sugar exports to the United
States.

Washington, June 1S.-The follow
ing changes in diplomatic posts were
announced during the day:
Francis B. LOOMS, minister to Ven
ezuela, has been transferred to be
minister to Portugal, vice John N. IT.
win Of Iowa, resigned.
Herbert w. Bowen Of New York,
present minister to Persia, has been
transferred to Caracas, succeeding Mr..
Loomis as minister to Venezuela.
Lloyd C. Griscom of Pennsylvania.
present first secretary of legation at
Constantinople, has been made minis
ter to Persia. ~-..
Spencer F. Eddy Of Illinois, present
first secretary at Paris, has been
made first secretary at Constantine
pie, to succeed Mr. Griscom.
Arthur Bailey Blanchard of Louis
lana has been promoted from third to
second secretary at Paris.
The change, SO far as it concerns
the Venezuelan ministers, Is said at
the state department to have no par
ticular political significance. Minis
ter LOOMS goes elsewhere than Cara
cas- at his own request and desire. It
is true that the Venezuelan govern
ment has expressed dissatisfaction
with Mr.. Loomis in more ways than
one, but the fact that the minister is
not removed from the diplomatic serv.
ice but is given another post of equal
dignity and honor is mark of the es
TEEN of the state department. Also
it may be noted that Mr.. Bowen, the
new minister to Caracas, goes to his
post with instructions on the same
line as those supplied to Mr.. Leomis
which formed the basis for his &C.
ton, so that Mr.. Bowen, who is a man
of great vigor, is likely to follow Mr..
LOOMS footsteps in the matter OF

that no products of the loom have ever

color, and rare skill of workmanship The
original home of the shawl was India In

the mission of the Town of Paisley for
two or three generations. The fame of the
Paisley shawl spread to the most distant

numbering at that time 30 600 inhabitants
At one time the Paisley shawl was in

weaver and his assistant "drawboy" of
those early days form a subject OF inter-

there were times of ebb and flow: periods
of great prosperity and seasons of terrible
depressions and consequent suffering;
when the nation extended helping hand,
as lately they did for India. An incident
may be recalled in the life of Victoria IN
such a period of depression in the history
of Paisley. Great suffering was expert

shawls. A selection of 1870. made by diff
ferent manufacturers, was forwarded to
Windsor. From these eighteen We're chos-

patronage becoming known seemed to
have a helpful influence. for ere long the
cloud of depression drove past and pros
