RUSSIAN SUGAR DUTIES
NOTE OF EXPLANATION ISSUED BY
THE GLARS AGENT.
Russia Is Anxious the American Press
Should Take N Correct View OF the
Recent Note to the Powers.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.-Mr. NJ. Rout-
kowsky, the financial agent of the Russian
government at Washington, has, by direc-
ton OF the home authorities. made the fol-
lowing official statement regarding the re-
cent note of the Russian minister Of
finance, relating to the Brussels sugar con-
~vention.
In view of the erroneous Interpretation
by many organs of the American press of
the object and meaning of the recent note
of the Russian minister of finance, sent to
various governments whose representatives
have signed the Brussels convention on sup
preston of bounties on sugar Nj. Rout-
kowsky, financial agent of the Russian gov
eminent i'm the United States has been in
structed to communicate to the American
press that in case of the negative answer
of the powers to the above mentioned note
and the establishment of a counterVafling
duty on Russian sugar, the imperial Rus
sian government shall consider the estab-
m of such a duty as an infractiOn Of
its commercial treaties with powers so do
ing, and therefore, free from obligations
imposed by them and at liberty not to COM
ply with their stipulations, whenever II
will be to the advantage of Russia"
Many of the American newspapers, NJ.
R~outkowsky explained, have interpreted
the note referred TO as a move on the part
of the Russian government TO inaugurate a
European coalition against American trade.
Such an understanding, he declares, is en-
tirely incorrect and does the Russian gov
eminent an injustice. The note was sent by
Russia to the governments participating in
the Brussels sugar conference and also
to the American government merely as an
act of courtesy, the United States not hav-
ing been a party to that conference. In re-
taliation for the countervailing duty against
Russian bounty sugars imposed by the
United States, Russia now imposes her
maximum tariff rates. The object of the
statement issued to-day, NJ. Routkowsky
SAYS, is to show Russia. is not engaged i'm
any effort TO wage a campaign against
American trade, but to make plain to the
parties to the Brussels conference that the
imposition of countervailing duties against
Russian sugar will be met as it was in the
case of the United States.
The question of the legality of the coun-
tervailing duty on Russian sugar is now
pending in the United States Supreme
Court.

TO REDUCE A~RMAMENTs.
Plan of King Victor Is BrOached to
Gar and Kaiser.

ROME, Aug. 3.-With regard TO the state
ment in these dispatches, under date of
July Is. that one of the principal questions
of discussion between King Victor En-
manuel and the Car of Russia, upon the
occasion of the formers visit to st. Peters
burg, would be the reduction of ornaments,
a representative here of the Associated
Press now learns that Wing Victor En-
manuels visit to Emperor William, at Ber-
lin, the later part Of this month, is intended
TO continue this same work in the direction
OF reaching an international understanding
in the matter of reduced ornaments, the
King of Italy having been encouraged in
his determination in this matter by the
Car, who is ready to reassume the lead
ership of the movement he initiated with
The Hague peace conference.
According to information received from
an authoritative source, the sovereigns re-
ferred to argue that the time of European
wars is almost over, as their interests are
so great in other continents that IL is not
worth while to ight for a strip of land here
and there in Europe. Consequently, the
large which are now intended
for European conflicts might be reduced or
transferred for the defense of colonial in
terests, the gain being devoted TO the i'm
provement of m and industry and
for a collective fgh against the common
danger-American competition.

RICH MANS WILD CAREER
ECCENTRIC AMERICAN MILLIONAIRE
WHO SHOCKS EVEN JAPAN.
His Excuses Described in n Paper
Before n Scientific sOciety-The
Cause of His Downfall.

NEW YORK, Aug. BIN a paper on de-
fectives, read by DR.. Martin w. Barr. chief
physician of the Pennsylvania School for
Predetermined Children, before the Sum-
mer School of Philanthropy at the chari-
ties building. a remarkable instance was
mentioned by him Of eccentricity that has
caused common in scientific circles. 1t
was the case of an American multimillion-
aire who is living in far eastern countries
and leading a life of such popularity as to
be almost incredible.
According to DR.. Barr, this man is a
neurotic. 1t is m that his fortune
is in the neighborhood of $40, 900, 900, but no
attempt has been made TO have him de-
clared an incompetent; he is left free to
run his course. His family are refined and
socially prominent. Whenever they speak
of the sons course. they refer 10 ii as his
he has a deranged intellect, though he has
left friends and position here to take up
a life among the .Hanins," the grave dig
gers and social Outcasts of the far East.
He was a physician, rich, handsome, Gull
tured, of esthetic tastes" said DR.. Barr in
his paper; "a GRADUATE or one of the most
prominent medical colleges in America, and
a man who had made a pronounced hit as
a specialist.
His fortune enabled him to secure every
medical appliance known TO science, and
for some years he enjoyed phenomenal sue
cess. Wine and women proved his bane.
He sank lower and lower. His peculiarities
no longer tolerated at home, he drifted
from capital to capital Of Europe, and
finally established himself in Japan. With
an appetite still unsatisfed, he exhibited
new phases of moral degeneration, causing
his body TO be tattOOed with wonderful
skill. every picture a work Of art. His back
bore a huge dragon, the shading of every
scale showing perfection Of detail. This.
on revisiting America, with utmost vanity
he shamelessly exposed. He was turned
out Of the clubs.
Returning to Japan. he bought a per-
forming bear and wandered from place TO

ing himself and his bear, and distributing
photographs Of each and all in endless
variety.

HOTEL LOBBY GLEANINGS
w. j. MARsHMAN, A PERFUMERY
MAN, TALKS or HIS BUSINESS.
Most Persons Like to Smell the Per
fumes that Are i'm Use-VisItOrs
at the Local Hotels.

w. j.. Marshman, representing a per-
fumery house of New York State. related
some interesting facts about the business at
the Denison Hotel yesterday evening. THE
perfumery trade is increasing at a rapid
rate" he remarked, producing a handful
of sample bottles and distributing them
among the group that listened to his re-
marks. There wasn't a man in the crowd
that didn't accept a bottle, and several of
them uncorked the pitfalls and inhaled the
dainty odor. Each man then carefully
placed the little bottles in his vest pocket
for future use. There isn't any use to try
10 get away from the fact that men like
perfumery.' remarked Marshman with a
smile. They may do a lot Of railing against
Il and sheer at it, but the fact remains that
they like it. They may not use it them
selves. but they like the odor-on other
people and particularly on women. However,
a great many men must use the stuff for
the business in this country is growing at
a gigantic rate Our firm has eight travel
ing men on the road selling perfumery. |
Will probably do $4,000 worth of business In
a year and the others Will likely do a big
business. We wonder sometimes where all
the perfumery goes, but 1t goes somewhere
and goes fast.
"Perfumery concerns keep a chemist en-
ployed all the time trying to invent new
odOrs. One of the most popular perfumes
In the country and one that has been on the
market for twenty years was discovered
entirely by accident The chemist had been
experimenting with a number of odOrs and
set several bottles of stuff away for fu-
ture experiments. Several months afterward
he picked up one OF the bottles, uncOrked
it and was about 20 throw the contents out.
On second thought he placed il to his nos
trils and was amazed TO find that the odor
was most delightful. He at once went 10
work and the result was successful. He
turned out a perfume that is still on the
market and has been for twenty years.
There Is another interesting fact about per-
fumes that everybody has not thought of.
This is in connection with the naming of
perfumes. You know that many perfumes
are named after flowers. Perhaps you do
not know that the name Of a flower cannot
be copyrighted. Our firm might get out a
perfume and call IL the Red Rose We
could not copyright this as il is the name
OF a common flower and anybody is en-
titled TO the name. But If we should make
a perfume and call IL the Green Rose we
could have IL copyrighted, because there
are no green roses. This point was settled
when the Crown Perfumery Company of
England brought suit against a company
in this country because the concern was
using the name Crab Apple Blossom The
court held that this Is a common flower and
anyone can use the name. My firm had a
similar experience. We sued TO enjoin a
perfumeTy concern from using the name
Night Blooming Cereus.' We lost the suit
for the same reason, the name being tina
of a common flower
