FOREIGN RETALIATION.

~ ONE apprehension seems to exist
ut Washington. that Russia in
~ retaliation for our imposition of
Il countcrvailin" duty on her
sugars, will in addition to the increase
of duty already placed on certain Amer
ican manufactures, seek to bring about
an agreement between European powers
to apply Il proscriptivc or discriminating
tariff, against such American products
as may be the output of industrial mon
opolics. notably, manufactures of iron
and steel. and especially agricultural
machinery.
While it is understood. says the phila-
delphia LEDGER" in trade circles, that
American exporters of such supplies
Concedc Il liberal discount to the Euro
pean market. our commercial rivals re-
gard this as IN evidence that the Amer
lean tariff is the bulwark by which
manufacturers. deriving great profits
from domestic consumers, are enabled to
cost. The foreign producers desire it
to be held that American exports of n
kind that enjoys tariff protection are ON
the same footing as the sugar exports
of European countries in which the
cartel system prevails

Congress has not seen fit to adopt the

ncw"d by President Roosevelt. The
Senate has not only refused to ratify
the treaties negotiated by Mr.. John A..
KaSson. but it has declined to extend to
Cuba the measure Of relief so earnestly
recommended by President Roosevelt in

THE JURY ~REPRIMANDED.
Chicago Man Acquitted Of the Charge
of Murder.

of Murder. ,r.
Chicago, May 30.-A verdict of not
guilty in the Isl of William McFet-
ridge, accused of numbering his broth
er, brought a. reprimand to the jury
from Judge i~,ravanaugh.
81 cannot understand how you ever
arrived at such a conclusion" said the
court. IF ever a man was guilty Nc
Fetridge was that a The evidence
was direct and conclusive. I would
not have been surprised if you had i'm
posed the death penalty"
William McFetridge and his brother
Robert had quarrelled for years. Fol-
lowing a suit in a justice court last
fall, which had gone against William,
the latter met his brother carrying a
little girl. After a few words William
McFetridge opened fire and continued
to fire as his brother ran away. The
latter died after reaching home.
McFetridge attracted attention at
the trial by taking up his own defense
and continuing it for three days. AT
the end of that time he accepted the
aid of an attorney. He pleaded that
his shots were fred in self defense. He
said that Robert had often threatened
to kill him and that he was justified
in taking no chances. Several wit
nesses at the trial, however, testified
that Robert was unarmed and made
absolutely no move of a threatening
nature against William. b.
