RUSSIA'S HIGH TARIFF
Rates Increased From so to 100
Per Cent-Germany Will
Suffer Heavily.

St. Petersburg, Feb. 1.-The Noyoe
Vremya publishes an article in which
it analyses the new Russian CUSTOMS
tariff which was promulgated Jan. zS
The paper says the increase in rates
over the existing tariff is 80 per cent
for the great majority of imports and
over 100 per cent for many groups,
among the latter being delicatessen
and various manufactures of wood,
leather and metals. The tariff it con-
tinues. is characterized by a more
detailed differentiation whereby the
lower-priced articles are taxed less
than the higher priced ones.
The paper points out that all Ger
many's leading exports to Russia will
be taxed under the new tariff so to $50
per cent over. the treaty rates, and in
conclusion observes that Russia is now
sufficiently equipped for a discussion
with Germany. The new rates. if ap-
piled. will seriously cripple mutual
commerce. but the paper hopes that
mutual concessions will Obviate a tar
iff struggle.

WYOMING LEGISLATURE.
Little Accomplished So Far-Pros-
poets For the Future.
Especial to The Herald-)

Cheyenne. WyO., Feb. THE Wyom-
ing legislature has completed the third
week of its forty-day session. but very
little of importance has been accom-
plished outside of the passage of the
wolf bounty bill by the house and the
reaching of the agreement in the SEN
ate to accept the measure as adopted
bv the lower house. Enough has been
done. however. in both houses to give
a very good idea of what may be eX-
Dected during the ensuing three weeks
1t now appears certain that pro-
vision viii be made for the erection
of the governors residence in Chey-
enne at a cost of $4,000: the erection
of a branch of the Wyoming General
hospital at Sheridan at a cost of SO
600: the erection of a dOrmitory at the
state university at Laramie, to cost
$4,000: the purchase of a small tract
Of land adjoining the state asylum for
the insane at Evanston for Use as a
truck garden, and certain improve
ments at the state hospital at Rock
Springs: the Improvement of the Big
Horn hot springs at ThermOpOlis. and
the creating of an additional state coal
mine inspector. Numerous approDrf-
atoms will be authorized in addition
to those enumerated above. and among
these will probably be an apprOpri-
alton of 900 to $50 900 for an ex-
hibit of the states resources at the
St. Louis worlds fair.

TRIED TO BURN
REFORM SCHOOL
Pupils Plan a Wholesale DeIiV-
cry of Inmates.
THREE FIRES WERE STARTED
PLOT BEING INVESTIGATED BY
AUTHORITIES.
THREE FIRES WERE STARTED
Especial TO The Herald0

ogden, Feb. IA desperate attempt
was made this evening to burn the
main building of the state industrial
school, generally known as the reform
school, in Ogden.
Some of the inmates had entered into
a conspiracy to set fire TO different
parts of the building. The plan was
partially carried out. Two of the beds
in the girls dormitory and one in the
boys dormitory were simultaneously
ignited about o'clock. The beds were
burning briskly when the flames were
discovered and the alarm for the fire
department was sent in. The blaze was
extinguished by the use of fire eXtin-
guishers, without the necessity Of the
department. stretching any hose A
high wind was blowing at the time, and
if the fire had ever gained a good start
the entire building would have melted
to ashes. as the reform school is beyond
the limits served by the regular city
fire department.
The authorities of the school are not
certain who started the fire, but from
remarks that were overheard and from
other evidence it is known that some
OF the girls knew of the plans and it is
believed they were connected with the
plot. A thorough investigation is to
be made.

slain or captured. His camp, proyi-

the artillery which was lost by the

escaped it is hopeless for him to seek
to retrieve his defeat, as his claim
that he is a saint is exploded. The
