RUSSIA GETTING READY
 TO STAND TARIFF WAR
Discrimination Against American Iron and Steel Was Not tn Only Object of the Russian Minister of Finance He
 Wants to Mobilize the Industrial Army

St. Petersburg. February 17-Shrewd observers in St. Petersburg believe that the Russian minister of finance, M De- witt. in imposing discriminating duty on American manufactures of iron and steel, was not only animated by desire to protect Russian sugar products, but was eager to seize an opportunity to mob ilize Russia's industrial army, with a view of proving it's ability to stand the test of tariff war. It is believed, more- over that he desires to impress Ger many even more than the United States. particular approval to the experiment. The Bourse Gazette, usually influenced by the minister of finance, warns both sides against implicit faith in the Bis marckian theory that tariff wars do not disturb good political relations, pointing out that experience has shown the op- posite to be the case as rule.
 We hope the friction will be as quick ly removed as 1t arose." continues the Bourse Gazette, "since the political rela- tions now existing between the two pow CTS are the best they have ever known. Both are playing the game of the ter tum gaudens, which Is preparing a blow against both. Doubtless American public opinion is wiser than the sugar producers and the government that is acting in their interest,"

Russian public opinion as to the Rus sian Governments sugar policy, demands the abolition of the domestic tax and of a system devised to enable a few lazy manufacturers to make enormous profits at the expense of consumers.
 Russia's export policy, the Novoste con tends, Is designed principally to support that one of the chief obstacles to temper ance work in Russia is the price of su- gar, which checks the consumption of tea

 Reprisals between friendly nations, 1t says, should remain as last resort Hitherto Russia and the United States have been able to settle their differences peacefully, whether political or com mercial."
 Evidently the Novoe vreyma's article was written before M. Dewitt retaliated Americans here have long been con- vinced that one of the most formidable obstacles in the development of Ameri- cas export trade with Russia Is the lack of sufficient return cargoes to make a direct steamship line between New York and St. Petersburg profitable. Therefore, they deplore any action that would tend to aggravate the difficulty.

New York, February 17.-Wearers of he green and believers in the cause of in- dependence for the "old country" assem- bled at the Academy of Music tonight to do honor to Major John Mcbride, who organized the Irish Transvaal brigade and to Maud Come The meeting was held under the auspices of the Clan Ma Gael.
 The mention of Csleen Victoria was greeted with misses, albeit of somewhat subdued sort. A reference to the Hay Pauncefote treaty brought forth signs of disapproval, and the mention of Lord Salisbury was received with vigorous hissing. The full measure of scorn, how 4,,er was reserved for the name of Jos eph Chamberlain.
 The house was well filled. Three cheers were given for Major Mcbride when he took the floor. Among other things he said:

SUSAN ANTHONY ON
 JOINT SMASHING Says the Hatchet is the Weapon of Barbarism-ShouIl
 Use the Ballot

Rochester N. Y, February H.-Miss Susan B. Anthony celebrated her eighty first birthday Friday. When asked today for her opinion of Mrs. Carrie Nation and her followers, Miss Anthony. in spite of her advanced years, warmed to her sub- feet with the fire and enthusiasm of for mer years, and, after denouncing the men of Kansas, declaring that neither party had been able to deal with the prohibition question, said in part:
 ''rhe hatchet is the weapon of barbar- ism; the ballot Is the one weapon of civ ilization.
 Tn Kansas since 1887, Mrs Nation, with all the women of the 2S6 cities of the State have had the right to vote for Mayor for the members of the common council and for every other officer of the municipality. Women equally with men have the responsibility. Therefore, the duty of Mrs. Nation, and all the women of Kansas, is to register and vote for only such men or women who will pub licly pledge themselves to do their duty and to carefully retire to private life every officer who has failed to show his hand.
 By this process of wedding out the sympathizers with the saloon, and voting only for men or women true to principle, the women could see the fruit of their labors, proving to themselves and to the world the power of the ballot over the hatchet"

Colorado Springs, Col, February 17.- Governor Roosevelt. who was in Colorado Springs today, is much annoyed over the hair-raising stories that have been circu- lated concerning his hunting expedition. To reporter of the Associated Press he said:
 "No correspondent of any newspaper, no man who wrote to or gave any infor- nation to any newspaper, was within forty miles of where I was hunting at any time during the five weeks I was out The sensational stores, such as those describing adventures with bears and wolves, were deliberate and wilful false hoods, and, I understand, were written by men who were not within hundreds of miles of where I was. We did not see a bear or wolf on the entire trip Aside from lynx and smaller game, our hunt ing was confined to hunting the so-called mountain lions or partners. I got twelve of them.

GREAT RUSH IF LEGISLATION
 DURING LAST DAYS OF CONGRESS
Inevitable Cowdng Which Characerzes the Closing Hours Has Already Begun-Appropiaion Measures Come First
 and Other Bills Will Have to Take Their Chance

Washington, February H-The last week but one before the present session of Congress will be an exceedingly busy one in the House. Much business re- mains to be disposed of and the ineyita- ble crowding which characterizes the closing hours of Congress has begun all ready. The appropriation bills. so far as the House Is concerned, are in fairly good shape. The last of them, the gen eral deficiency bill, will follow on the heels of the sundry civil bill, which Is about half completed These bills and conference reports will be given the right of way over everything else. All other matters, some of them of great importance relatively, but not of impera- tive necessity to be passed, will have to take their chances In the final rush. Speaer Henderson Is almost constantly beseiged by members importuning him in the interest of various bills. He Is keep ing everything clear for the great bills and letting the drlftwood of legislation into the current only when 1t will not impede the progress of things which must pass Congress before March 4. There are many knotty problems to be solved in connection with the appropriation bills over differences between the two Houses and many good sized rows are promised
 Rivers and Harbors Bill.
 Tho ultimate fate of the river and nar- bor bill will probably depend upon how heavily it is loaded when it comes back from the Senate The biggest fight be- tween the two houses from present ap- pearances is likely to occur over the war revenue reduction act.

THE SENATE.

Washington, February 17.-The Senate will devote practically all it's time dur ing the present week to appropriation bills. The postoffice appropriation Dill will probably be taken up tomorrow, though it may give place to the diplo- matic and consular appropriation bill. The amount of time to be consumed In discussing these measures will depend largely upon the determination which may, be reached with reference to the ship subsidy bill. So long as the Demo- crats feel that the subsidy bill Is to be pressed in case of lull, they will insist upon debating all measures presented. The bill making appropriations for for tifications will also receive attention dur. ing the week, and 1t is expected that tho conference report on the Indian bill will be considered. The army bill probably will be reported late In the week, but not in time to be debated the beginning of next week.

 Tomorrow is suspension day and the bill appropriating $5, .0Oo for the St. Louis Exposition will be put on its passage A Iaotion to suspend the rules will cut off opportunity for amendment and no doubt is entertained that this bill will command the two-thirds necessary to secure It's passage upon a motion to suspend the rules The programme with reference to this and other measures, however. may be materially modified if it becomes cer- tain before March that an extra session is to be called.
