are inimieal to this country; but j, IS
plain that the influential Agrarian ele-

recently declared that German Agrarians
desired 70 maintain friendly relations at
the expense Of the United States by
granting TO Russia preferential grain du-
ties. The proposition has not keen well
received at st. Petersburg, if we may

suit Russian commercial interests to Join

TO encourage the German Agrarians in

at would spread distress among the

rescued he was streaming with blood.
