MAY NOT TAKE PLACE
THE CINCINNATI PRIZE FIGHT IN
DOUBT.
DECISION TO BE GIVEN TO-DAY.
WHAT GOV. NASH WILL DO AN
OTHER PROBLEM.

Sporting Men Meet 20 Express Their
Feelings and Agree That Prize
Fighting Is in Bad OdOr in Ohio.
Manly Art Must Be Made Attrac-
tive for Ladies' Also-If Injunction
Is Granted the Fight viii BE Post
pOned and the Matter Carried
Through the Courts.
Cincinnati, Feb. 13.-Present indications
are that the Jeffries-Ruhlin boxing con-
test will not take place at Saengerfest
Hall next Friday night. There is now as
much doubt about the time and place as
about the decision of Judge Hoilister.
In the absence of definite information
to-day the local and visiting sporting ed
itors, together with the managers and
promoters, held a sort of meeting of ex-
postulation during the afternoon. The
general opinion was that prize fights were
in bad odor especially in Ohio, and that
the time had come for a restoration of
the "manly art' in such manner as to
avoid conflicts with the law and at the
same time attract ladies as well as gen.
tiemen.
1t is conceded if Judge Hollister grants
the application for a permanent injunc-
ton the contests will be postponed for
some weeks, so as to give time to carry
the case through the Circuit Court and
thence to the Supreme Court for final
settlement. If Judge Hollister refuses an
injunction the proposal is not likely TO
be for more than one week, and it may
be only 10 the first of next week.
Ut is regarded as possible that the court
may grant what is known as a modified
injunction, which would be a restraining
order against holding prize fights at the
Saengerfest Hall, but not against a box
ing contest, whereupon radical action is
expected from the Governor as the pro-
moters would then, no doubt, postpone
the event for a few days only and con-
tinue under the permit Of the Mayor and
under the advice of counsel, holding that
they were proceeding without any inten-
ton of violation of the law and that it
would be the Mayors part to see that
the event did not violate his permit or
the law. The decision will be delivered at
II o'clock tomorrow morning.
While there are reports about Gov. Nash
having three or four regiments under
marching orders, it is not believed here
that any troops will reach the city this
week at heast. The members of the SaenI
gerfest Athletic Association, as well as
the managers of the contestants, insist
that they win not attempt to proceed If
permanent injunction is issued against
them, and the general opinion is that such
will be the rendering of the court. The
promoters would then make no further
effort to conduct the fight until after they
had applied to the Circuit and Supreme
Courts, and If they are defeated in the
court of last resort they state positively
that they will declare the fight off.

LIVES LOST AT ST. JOHNS.
steamer Lucerne Given Up-IIad
Thirty People on Board A
Schooner Wrecked Also.

st. Johns, N. F., Feb. 1S.-H is almost
certain that the Lucerne was the victim
of the disaster near Bacalieu. A message
from the agent to the owners this even
ing says:
Unidentified wreckage, the same as
Lucerne's fittings, found at Lead Cove. ="
The owners and marines conversant
with the whole affair agree that the ship
has gone. Her loss involves thirty lives,
twenty-three of her own crew and seven
others, shipwrecl<ed seamen and passen-
gers. The supposition is that she either
burst her boilers and went to pieces or
struck the cliffs and foundered. AS all
the Lucerne's crew resided here the dis
aster has appalled, the whole community,
being the worst known since the Green
land disaster three years ago.
1t is now feared that another wreck
has occurred, in this case a sailing ves-
sci, as spar belonging to three-mast-
ed schooner drifted ashore at Blackhead
this evening with other wreckage which
could not have belonged to the Lucerne.
This may be a local fishing carrying
craft, whose loss has involved lives of
snother eight or ten residents of st.
Johns.

RUSSIAN SUGAR DUTY
MAY BRING ON A TARIFF WAR
WITH THE CAR.
LOOKS LIKE A BAD BREAK.
WOULD SERIOUSLY INJURE AMERI-
CAN EXPORTERS.

Looks Like n Far-Fetched Decision
ON Part of the Treasury Depart
ment--CIRimed That RUSSIA Pays a
Bounty ON Export Sugar-ResuIt
Likely to he That American Goods
VIII Have to Pay Maximum Rus
sian Tarif-RusSin Has Favored Us
In Tariff Matters Heretofore.
Washington, Feb 13.-The state depart
ment and the treasury department are
being deluged with kilograms from vast
business interests protesting against the
imposition of the countervailing duty on
sugar imported from Russia, Nearly all
urge such action will prove ruinous to
our export trade with Russia, which has
already attained to large proportions,
with promise OF an increase in the fu-
ture.
The Secretary of the Treasury took this
step with great reluctance. and only af-
ter the most patient Investigation as to
whether it would injuriousy affect the
American trade in agricultural imple-
ments, machinery railway material and
rolling stock, and other great staples of
export to Russia, But it appeared that
there was no way out of it If the law was
to be enforced, and the Secretary was
Obliged to negative the Russian conten-
tion that the Russian government actually
paid no bounty on export sugar. such as
would subject it to the United States
countervaiIing duty. Secretary Gage re-
alizing the Importance Of the issue, sub
mitted it to the Attorney Geenral. Mr..
Griggs decided that the Russian
government practically paid a bounty on
export sugar. That decision obliged Sec
retary Gage to instruct the treasury off,
GERS to collect an additional duty on Rus
sian sugar amounting to the bounty, which
is calculated at little less than one cent
per pound.
The Russian government has given no
tice that If the attempt is made by the
United States to lay this countervailing
duty, it must respond by imposing the
maximum tariff rates upon American ex-
ports to Russia. We are now enjoying
the minimum rate, and i'm very few cases
the maximum would be absolutely pro-
hibitive on American exports to Russia.
Reciprocity Commissioner Kasson was
asked to-day as to the current reports
that a commercial war between the United
States and Russia might be precIpitated
by the determination of this government
to collect sum equivalent to the bounty
on imports of Russian sugar.
MIR. Kasson said the action Of Secretary
Gage was designed to get q final ruling
on the subject by the courts. When the
duty is levied an appeal will lie, and the
courts viii settle this much disputed
point. Mr.. Kasson regards the secre-
tary's action as most conclliatory, and
hopes that Russia will await the deter
mination of the courts. He pointed but
that the chances are equal that the de
cision will be in favor of Russia. In the
meantime, he said, it would be most un-
fortunate If Russia should not consider
this action in a friendly spirit.
Russia has regular tariff schedule, but
by commercial treaties she was granted
reduced rates. Although we have no re-
ciproclty treaty with Russia she has
given us the benefit of the reduced rates.

THE MARTYRS CROWN"

to Military Service.
st. Petersburg, Feb. 13.-The govern
ment is enforcing drastic measures against
a continuation of the student troubles.
Eighteen students of the st. Petersburg
University were summoned Sunday to a
police station and were there arrested
and Immediately tried summarily by
court under the presidency of Curator
Sonn, of the st. Petersburg educational
district. They denied having been en-
gaged in the forcible obstruction of uni
versity work, but demanded the annul-
ment of the penalties against the St.
Petersburg and Kieff students. They adj
strike, which would last until their de-
mands are fulfilled. They will probably
receive the martyrs crown, in the form
OF military service.
Seven other students were summoned
before the political police, and were warn
ed that they would be arrested if they
again approached the university build
ings.
