BLOW TO GERMANY.
Russian Tariff Will Effect Trade Be.
tween the Two Countries

st. Petersburg, Feb 2-In an anaiy-
Sis OF the new Russian customs tariff
promulgated Jan. %, the Novoe vrem-
va points out that all Of Germany's
leading exports to Russia will be taxed
under the new tariff so to $50 per cent
over the treaty rates. The paper OBJ
serves that Russia is now sufficiently
equipped for discussion with the
Berlin foreign office. The new rates, IL
applied. will be a serious blow to Ger
many, and will cripple commerce be-
tween the two countries. The paper
hopes, however, that mutual concess-
sions will obviate tariff struggle.
The paper says the increase in rates
over the existing tariff is so per cent
for the great majority of imports and
over 100 per cent for many important
groups among the latter being delicat-
essen and various manufacturers of
wood, leather and metals. The tariff,
1t continues, is characterized by more
detailed differentiation. whereby the
lower priced articles are taxed less
than the higher priced ones, metallur-
gical products being particularly diff
ferentiated against, which makes a
comparison with the existing rates diff
ficult.
Among the catagories are electrical
apparatus and bicycles. Differential
treatment against imports overland
compared to those brought by sea ay-
erages 20 per cent on coal. pig iron,
iron, steel plates, and metallurgical
manufactures, machines and other in
struments.
The Novoe Vremya observes that the
increase over the treaty rates is nat
urally far larger than over the existing
tariff law. Machines now pay $325
and under the new rates they will pay
$3.50 to $40.

Tendency of the Times.

The tendency of medical science is
toward preventive measures. The best
thought of the world is being given to
the subject. 1t is easier and better
to prevent than to cure. 1t has been
fully demonstrated that pneumonia,
one Of the most dangerous diseases
that medical men have to contend with
can be prevented by the use of Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy Pneumonia
always results from a cold or from an
attack of influenza grip, and it has
been observed that this remedy coun-
teracts any tendency of these diseases
toward pneumonia. This has been full
ly proven In many thousands Of cases
in which this remedy has been used
during the great prevalence of colds
and grip in recent years, and can be
relied upon with implicit confidence.
Pneumonia often results from a Slight
cold when no danger Is apprehended
until it is suddenly discovered that
there is fever and difficulty in breath
ing and pains in the chest, then it is
announced that the patient has pneu-
monia. Be on the safe side and take
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy as soon
as the cold is contracted. 1t always
cures. For sale by all druggists.

Enter Houses Of New York 400 Just TO

New York, Feb 2.-Police Captain
Lantry of the East Fifty first street
station sent aout this entire force of
detectives today to act as sneak thieves
do when they get into houses, all ex-
lcept the stealing part of it. Accord
ing to a formal report which the eight
sleuths made when they returned to the
station, they entered forty-six houses,
among them those of VIZ Wander
bilt and Columbus ODonnell Iselin.
Capt. Lantry says he did 1t to show
the householders of his precinct that
the police were not responsible for
sneak thieves, but that recent rob-
berries in the Fifth avenue section of
town were due to careless servants who
leave doors unlocked.
If Capt. Lantry had any idea that he
was going to make himself popular by
his action he was on the wrong track.
for his detectives We're not thanked in
a single instance for their object les
son.
On the contrary, according to all ac-
counts, the sleuths got the most gem
eral tongue lashing all along the lirs
that the buffers. maids, and ordinary
servants We're capable of. The detec-
tives said:
Why. the servants were actually
In many cases."
Lantry says that he was led to adopt
this plan because of talk which
he had with Charles Beckett, the sneak
thief. who got into the house Of E.
Parmalee Prentice, John d. Rockefel-
ler's son-in-law, on Thursday,
Il asked Beckett how he broke In. ,
said Lantry, and he replied: Break
in nothing. l just walked in. 1t was
a pipe. Then l made up my mind
I'd show the people of this precinct who
have been complaining about sneak
thieves that their servants were re-
sponsibe.'
Detective Byrnes was the one who
got into w. K. Vanderbilt's house He
got in thru the area way and the base
ment door, which was unguarded, and
then walked unobserved to the ground
floor and stood in the hall awhile.
II could have carried off all the sill
