CONTINUES TARIFF WAR.
Russia Makes a New Move i'm the Dis
crimfnatOry Duties Imposed
by United States.

Washington, June 19.-The Russian
ambassador, Count Cassini, has COM
to the state department
that in consequence of the action OF
the American government through
treasury order of March last, apply
ing tariff restrictions against Russian
petroleum, imported into this country,
the Russian minister of finance, M.
Dewitte, has issued an order dated
June z, instant, imposing the high tar
iff rate of the Russian schedule on
American white, resin or calafin, gala
pot, white resin, under article 80 of
the Russian tariff law, and increasing
the rate on American bicycles under
article 173 of the Russian laws.
This action is entirely apart from
that taken in connection with Russian
sugar and is 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 effect next
Friday, or two weeks from the date of
it's issuance.
AZ LAO IL CdSuIy ucPdI lHcHt ~ IS
stated that the imposition of a duty
on petroleum was not matter with
in the discretion of the secretary of
the treasury, but was made mandatory
by the Dingley tariff act, which d.
reefs the secretary, in case any for
eign country imposes duty on petro-
leum imported from the United States,
to levy like duty on petroleum i'm
ported from that country. AS Russia
collects a duty on petroleum import.
ed from the United States, this gov
eminent, in compliance with law, i'm
poses duty on Russian petroleum. In
no sense, it is stated, can this duty be
regarded as an unjust discriminat ton
against Russian petroleum, as that
country took the initiative against the
American article. Had Russia not
taken this step her petroleum would
have been admitted to this country
free of duty under the terms of the
tariff act.
