TO COUNT ELECTORAL VOTE.
Make Needed Change While There is
no Trouble.

Washington, Jan. 31.--In the house to-
day Mr.. Dalsell (Pa.). from the COM
mittee on rules, reported a substitute
for the senate resolution for the count
ing of the electoral vote on February
13. Mr.. Dalsell explained that in 1878
q bill was passed prescribing the m lIh-
Cd in which the vote should be counted
and declared.
Prior to that time the count had been
made under resolution providing that
the president of the senate should de-
clare the result. But since the passage
of the law. it had not been followed,
and the senate had adopted the old,
abrogated resolution under which the
count was made prior to 1873. In the
house substitute, he says, in the lam
guage of the law, there would be no
declaration of the result by the pre-
siding officer. but simply of the state
vote, which the law declared to he suffi-
cient. 1t was important, he sald, that
this change should be made while no
partisan controversy existed over the
result. Both Mr.. Richardson tTenn }
and Mr.. Bailey (TeX.) said they con-
sidered the change proposed advisa BILE.
The resolution was adopted.

SUGAR TARIFF

SHE WILL RETALIATE AGAINST
AMERICAN PRODUCTS.
SUGAR REFINERS STARTED 1T
RUSSIA PAYS BOUNTY ON EX-
PORTED SUGAR-.TAX TO
EQUAL BOUNTY.

New York Jan. 31.--A special to the
Times from Philadelphia says:
y cargo of beet sugar from Russia is
held up at this port at the instigation
OF the American Beet Sugar Manufac-
turers, who have demanded an increased
duty to be imposed upon the product.
The directors of the national board of
trade and the National Association of
Manufacturers have held secret meetings
hele and determined upon immediate ac-
tion TO try and avoid a commercial
broach between this country and Rus
sia. The imperial government created a
furry here among those who have tried
to avoid trouble i'll the premises. by noti-
flying the Russian consul that if duty is
imposed, inhibitive tariff measures will
be instituted throughout European and
Asian markets against American goods.
This created a panic within the circle of
those in the secret.
Hurried meetings were called. and such
men as Chas. H. Cramp, John II. Con-
verse of the Baldwin Locomotive works,
Theodore c. Search and others at the
he ad of great manufacturing establish
ments held long conferences.
i was determined that a committee go
forthwith to Washington and arrange
for conference with Secretary Gage.
The trouble is caused by clause Of the
ringley bill by which the bounty paid
by Russia for sugar exported should be
added to the regular tariff on beet sugar.
Mhichfsn wHhei1P? m eta shr eta shrd
Edward r. Sanborn, manager of the
National Association of Manufacturers
and the Russian vice-consul w. r.
Tucker, have left for Washington to con-
suit with Secretary Gage as to when he
Will give the committee hearing.
The claim is made that the Russian
government does not pay bounties on
! sucar. The consul states that the Rus
sian government controls the sugar out
put 4af the empire and thereby holds the
prices up to its standard rate In orde,

MEAT PRODUCTS.

In the eNportation of meat products
during the past year there was an in
crease of $1,,02,3O5 over the exceptionally
high figures of 1899, the total value of the
consignments sent to foreign markets in
1900 reaching as high as Sl13. ,5l, Al and
thus surprising all previous records The
value for 1899, which was the highest
previously reported, amounted to $685.
679,l66. The principal gain occurred in
the group of articles classed as beef
products the increase amounting to A.
o5S.3I pounds in quantity and IS. s., .93 in
value. Fresh beef contributed the chief
part of This gain.
In the exports of hog products, on the
other hand, there was falling off of 1i0.-
241,119 pounds regards quantity. and
$3,Ol5,9a6 as regards value. Bacon and
lard were principal factors in this decline.
Exports of hams showed a rather mark
ed falling off in quantity, but owing to
an advance in price, the decrease in total
value was small. The shipments of salted
or picked pork exhibited a decline in
quantity, while in value there was a
slight increase.
Aside from the various hog and beet
products, oleo oil. formed the most inn
portant item under the head of meat
products. The exports of oleo oil, how
ever, for 1900 showed a no.icea bic incrsas.
