AN ANSWER TO RUSSIA.
Americas Reasons for Imposing the
DGty on Petroleum.

The answer Of the United States Gov
ernment to the notification from Russia
that the maximum rates of duty in the
Russian tariff would be imposed on Amer
lean naval stores and bicycles in retalia-
ton for the action of the Secretary of tie
Treasury in placing duty on Russian pc
tro.eum. was sent by the Secretary Of
State to the Cars Ambassador in Wash
ington today
Secretary Hay points out that the i'm
position of the duty on petroleum was a
matter Of ordinary routine 1t Is explain
ed that the order imposing the duty was
issued some time ago in response to en-
duiries of collectors Of customs and was
necessary in view Of the law on the sub
ject, which left no other course open to
the Secretary of the Treasury The at
tention OF the Russian Government is
called to the terms of the law to prove
the assertion that the Secretary OF the
Treasury had no discretionary authority
The law provides that whenever the
Secretary OF the Treasury learns that ar
ticles on which the United States imposes
no duty are subjected to an import tax
by another country 1t shall be his duty to
direct collectors of Gust toms TO impose or
similar articles imported into the Units5
States 4 duty equal to those imposed on
the same American articles by the coun-
tries from which they are shipped
The State Departments note is
straightforward explanation OF the law
which is regarded as too plain to be mis-
understood by Russia Assurances are
given also that there Is no intention on
the part of the United States to discrimi-
nate against Russian products.

THE OUTLOOK FOR 1904.
Representative BurIeson Says 1t Is
Too Early to Name Candidates.


1T IS too early to name candidates for
the Presidency" said Representative Bur
Lesson of Texas. this morning. The man
talked of today as the most available
might be out Of the question three years
hence.
1t is unfair to say that Mr.. Bryan
shall be eliminated from consideration at
this time. just as it would he Unfair to
say that only 50 and so shall be nOminat-
I'd. No one can tell what VIII take place
in three years Perhaps when the time
rolls around MI Bryan may be conceded
by every Democrat to be the most avail
able candidate ] don't knew that such
thing will happen, but its not lmpos-
sible. and therefore say it is too early to
discuss the availability ef this or that
candidate. There is plenty of good pres
ideatisI material in the Democratic
party
Referring to ne tariff and trust qUes-
tious Mr. BurIescu said: This talk OF the
Republicans of tariff reform and anti
trust legislation is all for effect, in my
opinion. When you speak Of the trusts
you instinctiveiy think Of the Republican
party They are Synonymous terms. The
trusts own the Republican party, and that
being true it is absurd to say that the Re
pubHcans viii enact legislation that may
prove inirnicable to the trusts The pro-
tective tariff in a large measure is the
mother Of trusts. and hence it follows
that there viii be no tariff legislation by
Congress next winter 1 don't mean to
be understood in saying that the RepubIi
cans viii not discuss the tariff next Con
gress, for l believe they viii make a pre-
tence in that direction. but it VIII be only
a pretence- The Republicans viii have
all they want to attend to in legislating
for the Philippines and Porto Rico"
