washington, June 1S.-The Russian
ambassador. Count Cassini, has COM
municated to the state department, in
consequence Nof the action of the Amer
lean government through a. treasury
order of March last, applying tariff
restrictions against Russian petroleum
imported into this country, the Russian
minister of finance, M DeWitte, has is
sued an order. dated June z, imposing
the high tariff rate of the Russian
schedule on American white resin, or
colophOn. and galipol under article 81
of the RussiaH tariff law, and increas-
ing the rate Vn American bicycles, IN
der article -ff5 OF the Russian laws.
This action is entirely apart from
that taken n connection with RUSSIAN
sugar. and is a 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 e1-
! feet next Friday, or Two weeks from
I the date Of its issuance.
At the treasury department 1t rs
/ stated that the imposition of a duty on
| petroleum was not a matter within the
/ discretion OF the secretary, but was
/ made mandatory by the Dingley UarIH
/ act, which directs the secretary, IN
! case any foreign country imposes a
duty on petroleum imported from the
! United States to take corresponding
| action. This government, in compliance
/ with law. imposed q duty on RUSSIAN
/ petroleum. In no sense, it is stated,
/ can this duty be regarded as an un-
| just discrimination against Russian Pc
! trOleum, as that country took the in
/ itiative against the American article.
/ Had Russia not taken this step, her
/ petroleum would have been admitted to
| this country free Of duty under tie
terms Of the tariff act.
Secretary Gage Protests.
in his reply to Count Cassinf's note,
which was transmitted to the treasury
{ department, Secretary Gage protests
against the implied contention that

smallpox epidemic among the Indians
in Mile Laos county, returned yester-

forcing the quarantine with fair sue
cess. The disease is most virulent in
form, however, and there have been
several deaths. The Indians are in an
ugly mood, their pay having been with
held by the government because they
refuse to remove to the White Earth
reservation. The settlers are much
disturbed, fearing both the smallpox
and an outbreak Of the Indians. There
is no great danger Of an epidemic at
present. Lars Erickson, a pioneer
trader Of Mile Laos county, yesterday
called at the capitol to enlist the aid Of
Gov. Van SAINT. He says there is
danger Of an Indian outbreak and
there is great danger of a smallpox

fuse to move. They have guns and re.
fuse to obey the laws, living on game
