uled for tomorrow afternoon at
o'clock.
1t is generally believed that the con-
ferees will not meet more than once OF
twice. and that they will report in
very few days whether they have agreed
or not.
None of the six conferees would talk
yesterday of what the report will be
but it is said to be the plan of the House
if the first report is that no agreement
has yet been reached, to discharge the
conferees and concur in the Senate
amendment Immediately.
Caucus Plan Abandoned.
Some of the Nicaragua Democrats
conceived the idea of holding the party
TO a support of the Hepburn bill by
means of caucus action, but little in
quiry demonstrated the futility OF that
policy, and the caucus was abandoned.
Mr.. Dayey of Louisiana, the conferec
representing the minority, is an adyo-
cate of the Nicaragua bill, but he
joins Mr.. Hepburn in the desire that
Congress shall do something, rather
than to fail because of deadlock over
the route.
Mr.. Fletcher of Minnesota, the third
House conferee, originally opposing any
canal whatever. is quoted to like effect
so that all Of them are on record as ia
voring some conclusion by Congress.
Mr. Morgan and Mr.. Hepburn Confer.
Senator Morgan and Chairman Hep
burn held a long conference yesterday
upon the subject. but neither would have
anything TO say as to what would be
done, further than that meeting of the
full conference committee would be held
on Monday.
IN view of the fact that the House
voted almost unanimously-onIy two
votes being recorded against the Hep
burn bill on its final passagc-it is be-
lieyed that the House conferees will not
feel Justified in agreeing TO the Senate
amendment, and that a disagreement
will be reported within a few days.
II is not improbable that a motion
Will be made then by Mr. Burton (Rep..
Ohlo) to concur in the Senate amend
ment. when the report is submitted
As such motion would take precedence,
such action would bring the matter di-
rectiy before the House for immediate
consideration.
A Story Denied.
There was a story in the Capitol cor
ridors yesterday morning that Senator
Morgan. one Of the Senate conferees.
would attempt to have the conferees re-
port in favor Of the Nicaragua Canal.
No foundation for the story could be
discovered, and it was not generally
credited.
As Senator Hanna pointed out. it
would be impossible for Mr.. Morgan to
carry out any such plan even if the
three House conferees should Join with
him. Senators Hanna and Kittredge
would refuse to make any such report
TO the Senate.
Mr. Lowering Discusses Subject.

bill, Mr.. Lowering (Rep.. Mass) took oc-

RUSSIA FAVORS
AMERICAN GOODS

tained by simply mailing dealers cata-
logues and other advertising matter
! printed IN English. which few Russian
merchants are able to read. The coun-
! try must be worked by the same meth
DDS which are employed by American
| manufacturers Ct agricultural ma
chinery, which have resulted in their
practically controlling the market in
some lines.
Germany Very Active.
Germany Is our most active trade
competitor in Russia. and her proximity
and the fact that many of the business
men CT Russia understand German. ard
/ the credits which arc granted by Ger
man firms, give this country a great
advantage IN commerce
! Nevertheless. where American goods
are known they have the preference,
because of their superior finish and quail
| ity. The Germans have been specially
active since the retaliatory duty was
placed on our goods by the Russian
government and the" have been sue
cessful in obtaining number OF or
ders which otherwise would have gone
to America, and dealers who have here
| tofore handled our machinery exClu
sivcly are now placing orders in Ger
many.
! II should be noted. however. that
many of the imports from Germany are
| originally of American manufacture.
| There being no regular line Of steamers
! between American and Russian ports,
large proportion OF the shipments
! from the United States are brought via
| Copenhagen, Hamburg. etc, and arc con-
sidered as IMPORTS from Germany or
| Denmark. Besides agricultural ma
chincry, we send Russia typewriters,
bicycles, saws, steel rails. cotton, resin.
hickory lumber for wheels. etc.
Press Censorship Rigid.
As for printed advertising matter,
that everything printed in Russia must
undergo press censorship before it is
admitted to the country. A number of
American manufacturers had catalogues
printed in Russia. and because they had
| failed to observe this rule the cata-
logues were rejected from the mails.
American exporters who desire to cir
culate in Russia advertising matter
printed in the Russian language should
address a petition to Count Alexander
Mouravieff, ssief' of the central commit
tee OF foreign censorship. describing the
character of the publication for which
admission is desired and requesting per-
mission to introduce the same into Rus
sia.
This petition will be more likely to
receive immasiate attention IL written
in Russian or French ii should also
bear revenue stamps of the value of ! 60
rubles (S4 cents).
Catalogues printed in German are en-
ployed by some firms, but the most eff
fective way to gain trade in Russia is
to work the field with intelligent men,
well supplied with samples, who can
familiarize themselves with Russian
business methods. and inform them
selves as to the financial standing OF the
people with whom they propose to deal

Authority of the Treasury.
The authority of the Secretary Of the
Treasury to impose this as additional
tax under present law, is. however,
questionable. although he has done II
once On cargo of sugar coming from
Russia, and his right to do so is before
the Supreme Court for settlement.
Mr. Oxnard's 5 proposition was that the
20 per cent reduction be granted Cuba
under the restrictions of the Spooner
amendment and that an additional sec
ton be added to the bill giving the Sec
retary OF the Treasury explicit power to
lay a countervail.ng duty against cartel
sugar equal to the amount OF the bounty
paid on il under that system.
The proposed reduction OF 20 per cent
undcr the Spooner bill would amount to
fraction over II cents a hundred
pounds, while the additional tax against
the cartel would he 261a cents on Ger
man beet sugar, which apparently would
more than offset the proposed reduc-
ton.
Claim Of Beet Sugar Advocates.
The beet sugar advocates have claim
ed before the Senate Cuban Committee
that the imposition Of the cartel tax
would raise the prices on both cane and
American beet sugar by taking from
The trust the power to force the price
down through the importation OF Ger
nan beet sugar. They go so far as to
say that this action by the United States,
the greatest consumer, would raise the
price of sugar the world over, except
perhaps in Germany, and that the great
stock OF sugar in that country. estimGt-
ed ct nearly 100000 tons, would cease
TO lie a menace to the price Of sugar
elsewhere.
The cartel tax, if imposed, would
really be necessary for little over two
years, as Germany and the other coun-
tries using the cartel system have
agreed. through the Brussels conference,
to practically abolish it in September

to Press Censorship.

Consul Heenan, of Odessa. says that
the sale of agricultural machines and
implements of American origin was
larger in Russia in 1901 than during aEy
year on record The effect of the in
creased tariff on our machinery had not
yet been felt. and one American firm
alone did business which passed the
$1,000, 900 mark. Other houses also
transacted important trade.
The city of ODESSA has been a heavy
purchaser of our goods in ccnnec-icn
with the new public hospital now under
construction. Among the articles bought
We're 1900 radiators for heating pur-
poses; these came under the increased
tariff on American manufactures. and
the town authorities appealed to the
minister OF finance TO permit the radia-
tors to enter at the duty which pre-
vailed at the time of purchase. as they
were for a public institution intended
for the poorer classes. The request was
refused.
Plows in Siberia.

ers. binders, mowers, reapers. and
horserakes are so favorably known as to
defy competition. On the other hand
American plows, drills. seeding ma
chimes. corn planters, cultivators, farm
wagons, fodder choppers, etc, are not to
be found in Russia, and there is no rea
son why they should not meet with
ready sale, except plows, which cost
more than the German or Russian arti-
Gle. On the other hand. our blows are
gecerally used in Siberia. says Consul
General Holloway, of st. Petersburg
The consul general adds:
AS a rule, Russians prefer American
goods and machinery. which command
better prices here than similar goods
made in any other portion of the world
The fact that a man is a citizen of the
United States and has American goods
for sale insurcs him an audience with
high government officials, as well as an
opportunity to show his goods and ex-
plain their merits.

Fear of Retaliation.

Some fear is expressed Of retaliation
en- the part of Germany. If the United
States should countervail against cartel
sugar The countervailing tax against
her government bounty on sugar led
to some lively diplomatic correspond
ence between the two countries, but
nothing in the shape of retaliation was
attempted. and Germany has made no
public sign of disapproval over the ac-
tioD of the British Indian government
recently in imposing Il countervailing
tax against the cartel itself, in addition
to that previously laid against the gov
ernmcnt bounty
The advocates CT the additional tax

road companies is to be returned, under
cath, for assessment and taxation to the
commission at such dates as real estate
for taxation. and there is to be no furth-
er assessment of real estate until June,
1908. Then, if any assessment of the tan
gible property of railroad companies
should be made by the commission eX-
cept at the time when by law that prop
erty is to be returned and assessed for
taxation, would such assessment be le-
gal" 1t would seem not. If, then, there
can be no valid assessment of the tam
gible property of railroad corporations
until 1908, how can a franchise tax be
arrived at under section so? They stand
or fall together. Without a knowledge
of what the assessment of the tangible
property amounts to you could not dis
cover what the franchise tax would be,
for the franchise tax is the market value
of all the capital stock, certificates of
Indebtedness, bonds and other securities,
due consideration being given TO the gross
earnings as compared with the operating
expenses, LESS THE PHYSICAL OR
TANGIBLE PROPERTY.
The contention of the plaintiff, that un-
der section 40 of the same act the assess
ments made by the defendants of the real
estate of railroad companies in 1900 re-
mains the assessment until June, 1903,
and should he taken by the defendants as
a valuation of the tangible property in
determining the value of the franchise
under section so. cannot be maintained,
for the simple reason that that assess
ment was made on the real and personal
property and included in its value the
value of the franchise, and was there
fore a different assessment from the one
ordered to be made on the tangible or
physical property in section So by the
rule of determining it's value by a con-
sideration of the actual cost to replace
the property with just allowance for
depreciation on rolling stock etc. Nor
can an assessment be made by the COM
mission uopn the information contained
in section 40 and that which that section
authorizes the commission to secure, for
the reason that such an assessment would
he at time different from the time
fixed for the assessment of the property,
of the tangible property, of railroads un-
der section As of the same act
