TOUR OF INSPECTION.
Officials of o. s. Steel Corporation

Officials of q. S. Steel Corporation
Find Plants in Good Condition.
New York, June 19.-The members Of
the executive committee of the United
States steel corporation who have just
returned from their trip of inspection.
give a favorable account Of the cOndi-
ton of the various properties visited.
These included the Federal Steel COM
pany's plant at Johnstown, the Lorain
as well as the Joliet works and the
port belonging to the Carnegie and the
National tube companies. In addition
several Of the large mining properties
in the Lake Superior region were visi-
ted and also the Connellsville coal
fields. Many of the committee when
questioned stated that the plants were
all in good condition. The several con-
stituent companies during the past year
had he said, expended considerable
sums in improvements and extensions
with the result that the properties had
been brought up to high state Of eff
f1ciency. Judge Gary said that 1t was
probably true that the United States
Steel company would not spend so
much this year in engagements as was
expended last year by the general COM
panies because the consolidation OF the
various properties made il unnecessary
to carry out several plans for extern
sions which had been decided upon by
some of the individual companies There
was, however, he said. considerable
work to be done under appropriations
which had been made some time ago by
the constituent companies.

WATCHES BURGLARS WORK
Policeman is a Witness to q Large
Theft of Tea.

New York, June 19.-With a police
man for a spectator two burglars early
today carried out more than 500 chests
of tea, valued at from $4,000 to $4,000,
from the warehouse of Benjamin J.
Hill in williamsburg. loaded them on
four double trucks and then escaped.
All but 10 chests were recovered. Po-
liceman Richard Owens was walking
his beat when, as he reached Hills
warehouse, he saw four double trucks
backed up to the curb and two men
dressed in oyeralls working indus
triously carrying out chests of tea from
the warehouse and loading them on the
vehicles. AS Owens came up the burg
lars greeted him cheerfully and, of
hand, made the remark that they were
at work unusually early so as to I'LL a
rush order.
Owens swallowed the bait and went
on measuring sidewalks and trying
locks along his beat. Making his tour,
Owens came around again and still the
men were working hard, the perspira-
ton pouring down their faces, notwith
standing the cool breezes of the morn
ing. Mechanically he noted down the
name and address on one of the trucks
and it was this memorandum that en-
abled the police to trace the tea when
the proprietor came down later and
found that he had been robbed The
thieves have not been found

because the quantity was very small
and it all appeared to have come from
the same man, q junk dealer who did
business around the Preside. The
clothing had evidently been sold to this
peddlar by soldiers. and recruits The
junk man and his son who sold it have
been arrested by the federal authorities
and their case is being considered by
the federal grand jury today.
There is no shortage in any of the
departments. This seized clothing I'M
doubtedly represents the accumulation
of articles which have been sold from
time to time during the past year or
two by the thousands of soldiers who
have passed through San Francisco 1

portance, though it has been widely ex-
plotted by the sensational newspapers
However, the seizure Of these articles
and the arrests made will have the eff
feet think, of discouraging the pur-
chase or sale Of soldiers wearing APP

Following is an exact list Of the ar
ticles seized; Blankets, IL pairs; leg

RUSSIAN SUGAR TARIFF.
q. S. Chairman of Board Of Appraisers
Makes Explanations.

New York, June 19.-The attention
of Judge Henderson M. Somerville,
chairman of the board of classification
of the United States general apprais-
ers, was called lately to the statement
of NJ. de Witte, the Russian minister
of finance, on the Russian sugar de-
cision- Judge Somerville wrote the
opinion of the majority of the board in
the decision made last April. holding
that the laws of Russia bestowed all
indirect bounty on the expectation of
her sugar products, within the meaning
OF section OF the present tariff act
He stated among other things when
questioned about M. de Whites recent
observations:
The question as to the construction
of the Russian law governing the pro-
duction and expectation of sugar IS
purely a legal one. The legal aspects
of the subject seem, however, to be en-
tirely overlooked, in the political and
fiscal attitude it has assumed under
the retaliatOry tariff war which Russia
is Waging against American industries.
The criticisms of Secretary Cages &C
ton in this matter are exceedingly I'M
just and are nanifeStly based on a
shallow view Of the law governing the
official duties of the secretary of the
treasury. In the first place NJ. de
Witte is mistaken in the assertion that
the secretary based his ruling merely
upon the report and opinion of the
An erican consul, Mr.. Holloway. He
had before him the Russian law and
regulations, in all their lntricacieS OF
purpose and phraseology. and passed
fully on the merits of the question.
THE policy of Russia in refusing to
discuss the subject" Judge Somerville
continued, has been followed up by a
recent order of the minister Of finance.
made since the boards decision, forbid
ding the prices of the transferable GER
tif1cates any longer to be quoted in the
stock markets Can the purpose of this
action be otherwise than to conceal
from the courts in this country evidence
of q kind which goes to establish the
existence and exact nature of the Rus
sian government bounty on sugar. The
recent convention of American manu-
facturers held at Detroit readily per-
ceived the remedy for the existing evils
0f any disturbing trade and exciting a
tariff war between this country and
Russia. They placed the responsibility
where it belongs and called on the con-
gress of the United States to modify
section of the Dingley tariff act
knowing that it is for that body and
not for the courts to amend or repeal
laws by legislation The judicial func-
ton is confined to construction and
does not permit legislation"

The Electric Railway.

a COOL many people are afraid
that the steam roads will occupy
the country AZ soon as the electric
road is started or completed. What
If they do? The electric road is
projected to cover territory not
included in any railroad survey by
any company; and even if all the
steam roads are built as now pro-
jected, there will be ample traffic
for the electric system in hauling
the freight and farm produce Of
the country along its route to the
steam roads before the wet weather
makes the wagon roads impassable.
Whichever way You look at it, the
Clearwater country and its people
have everything to gain and moth
ing to lose by helping along the
project of the electric road. Don't
be a clam and throw stones in your
own roadway.
