He said he did not understand the du-

The diplomatic rlations." he said,
'between Russia and America are of the
most friendly nature. and this so-ealled
conflict between them on the tariff is
an exceedingly small matter and will
no doubt be settled within a short time
and satisfactory to both countries.
1T is part Of my duty to clear away
any clouds Of misunderstanding between
the two countries. and there is absolute
Iy no danger that the present cordial
relations will be di lrbed by the tariff
business. To be perfectly frank, the
agitation was started on this siie of The

4ETO SETTLE The RUSSIAN TARIFF TROUBLE

"Should there be a commercial war,
which is altogether unlikely, between the
United States and Russia. this country
would be the loser, as the Russian ex-
ports to these shores amount to annual

sends millions of dollars worth of her
products to Russia every year.
''Of course Russia. If hard put. could
get her goods from Germany. bat this
would surely not be desirable to Anler-
cans. Another thing. our trade right
fully belongs: TO this trouble.
"As l said before. the trouble does
not amount to much and With such men

1t Is to be deplored that such thing
has happened at this time"

GRANT GILLESPIE FOR
AMERICAN CONSUL
AT PRETORIA
(By Associated Press.)

Washington, June 26.-It is probable
the consul generalship at Pretoria,
which has been vacant since the return
to this country of Adelbert s. Hay. killed
at New Haven, Sunday morning, will
soon be filled by the appointment of
Grant Gillespie Of Missouri
Mr.. Gillespie was in Washington a few
days ago and the place was offered to
him. He hesitates to accept, because the
experience of Hay showed that the sal
ary of the post, $4,000. is not enough to
support the incumbent.
He has been assured congress will in
crease the pay to $4,000, and it is thought
that on this assurance he will accept it
and qualify at an early date SO as to
hurry to the Transvaal capital and look
after the long needed interests there.
Mr.. Gillespie had notable career in
the volunteer army in the last three
years.

was up all night watching for some-

approaching daylight.
After getting away from the Jail here
Schrickengost started across the hills at
once or hid until dark and then started.
He evidently travelled all of the first
night, rested during the day and resumed
his journey Monday night, then rested
