the general and twenty per cent. from
the conventional duties. The articles
referred to in the Russian decree are
machinery and tools of every kind
manufactures and products of cast
iron and steel. Roughly stated the
United States is said to have exported
goods of this description last year to
the amount of $50 O.OOO.OOU.
The addition of fifty per cent to the
duty will. it is thought. prove practl-
cally prohibitOry. The action taken
means that the Russian government
will not concern itself with test case
nor await the issue of such a case.
However, there is an expectation that
the American importers of Russian SUI
gar will make the fight in their own
interest. Some cargoes of Russian SUI

RUSSIA RETAlIATES BECAUSE
SUGAR DUTIES WERE RAISED

st. Petersburg. Feb. 1S.-The finance
minister NJ. De Witte. has proved his
ability to hit quick and hard He was
evidently prepared for rcprisals before
Secretary Gage took final action.
NJ. De Witte sent to the Senate We'd
nesday for publication, an ordinance
lcvying thirty per cent. increased duty
on the most important American i'm
ports into Russia.
The ordinance was published Satur-
day in the Official Messenger. and be
comes effective March 1st This action
is greatly regretted in American cir
cleS and Americans anticipate much
harm thcrefrom.
Well Informed Americans do not be-
lieve the Supreme Court will sustain
the claim that Russia pays bounty on
sugar. directly or indirectly. and re
gard the action as hasty. though not
unexpected. 1t is believed that little
harm would have resulted to Russian
interests If the action of the court had
been awaited.
NJ. De Witte has issued decree re
garding the application of the ncreHS-
ed tariff to certain imports of the Unit
ed States. The decree is based upon
the first paragraph Of article CPS of the
customs statute.
Washington. Feb. 1S.-Count Cas-
sini. the Russian ambassador. has re-
ceived a cablegram from the Russian
foreign office, confirming the report of
the issue of the decree imposing in
creased duties on certain American
imports into Russia, and took steps
to inform the State Department ac-
cordingly.
1t is believed that a grave crisis has
been reached in the trade relations OF
the United States and Russia.
The Immediate effect of the Russian
decree. when it becomes operative,
March 1st, will be TO increase by fifty
per cent. the duty on American machn-
cry. steel and iron goods. These goods

RELIGIOUS ORDERS AS
PHILIPPINE LANDLORDS

ON the subject of religious trouble in
the Philippines. President Schurman of
Cornell University said:
In the meaning Of the term there
are no religious troubles in the Philip
pines. The Catholic church hitherto has
been IL part of the state and was sup
ported by the state revenues ana il now
is on the same footing as the other
churches and must be supported hy vol

iori,y of the people outside of the
hcathens. who number a few hundred
thousands. and the Mohammc,lans.
who number few hundred thousands
more. are Catholics. The church pre-
sents no question, but the religious or
dcrs do present Il question. because
they are landlords.
'''rhr situation is much the same as
in Ireland. The lard is held by those
who gained il by right of the sword.
The religious orders Of the Philippines
have come into possession of these
lands and it is for us to inquire as to
their right and title to them. whether
the FilipnoS are not doing the orders
Il great injustice and whether or not
they are not forgetting the great hrne-
fits OF civilization which the orders
gave to them. But the situation is. the

dcrs as landlords. We can't take the

MRS. NATIONS SUNDAY RAID
ON THE Topeka SALOONS

Topeka, Kan, Feb. 1S.-NIrs. Nation
put in a busy Sunday in Topeka yes
terday, and as result the capital city
of the state has experienced more gen
uine excitement than can be remember
ed by the Oldest inhabitant. Mrs. Ma
ton succeeded in having the contents
of a notorious joint smashed, broke
some fine bars that were stored in
building. broke into Il cold storage
plant. addressed a large mass meeting
of men and women and was arrested
four times. The last time she was ar
rested she was coming out of the
church where the mass meeting was
held
She says she will begin this mornin"
where she left off to-day, and will not
rest until all the joints in Topeka have
been closed.
Yesterday morning at six o'clock, just
as the big bell on the Church of the AS
supmtion tower was striking the hour,
Mrs. Nation. the famous joint smashcr.
sailed out from the state house
grounds at the head of 800 men and
women, all armed with hatchets. and
moved on the joints of the city. No
body knew but Mrs. Nation what the
plans of the raid were to be.
In the crowd were a large number of
the students of Washburn College,
some of the ministers of the city. and
a number of professional and business
men. The crowd marched in perfect
military order There was no excite
ment. as the men and women We're
following their recognized leader whom
they trusted implicitly. The company
marched silently out of the state house
grounds down Kansas avenue to the
place on East Seventh street kept by
Ed Murphy. and amid the screams of

the front windows were smashed in.
and soon there was very little left of
| what had once been a well furnished
joint.
Mrs. Nation was arrested here. and
after being taken to the police station
was released. She then hurried back
to a livery barn in which some bars
were kept and smashed them. Then,
at the head of twenty followers. she

went to the Moeser cold storage plant
and entered in search of some liquors
she thought were stored there. This
time Mrs. Nation was arrested by the
county authorities and was taken to
Jail in patrol wagon. 1t was after
noon before she was released from Jail
on bond, and after taking dinner with
Sheriff Cook she went to the First
Christian church, where she was ac
costed by an officer with a warrant
and taken to the county jail again. She
stayed this time for two hours. and
finally her bond was signed by one of
the .iointists of the city who is a prom
inent negro politician.

was a white handkerchief worn around

Mrs. Nation .'"DOn't pay any attention
to them"
The boys with the battering ram
came forward,an in less time than it
takes to tell if, the big plate glass win
dows We're shattered into thousands
of fragments. Dozens of men then
rushed on the building armed with
their axes and soon had the door and
window frames cut entirely away.
Then. with an eXultant cheer. the
crowd burst into the building.
PRAISE God. women. Smash the bot
ties and the windows" called out Mrs
Nation again. and raising her famous
| hatchct. she sent it through Il window
glass that had yet been left
The policemen managed to recover
from their scare by this time to grab
Mrs. Nation. They started off with
her to the station as rapidly rs possi-
| bic. She waved her arms and frantic
ally called out to her co-workers:
"Oh. keep it up! You can do it with
out me. Praise God keep it up: keep
on smashing. You don't need me-"
For a moment the crusaders We're
thrown into confusion by the removal
of their leader. but the parting words
of Mrs. Nation seemd to nerve them TO
better efforts.

It Is pleasant to record the fact that
the consular service is gradually work
ing out of politics, that more and more
fitness ic considered in the original

The more one thinks about wireless
telegraphy the more amazing it seems.
BY Marconi's method, messages are

not prevent communication between

marvellous is it that simultaneous mes
