St Petersburg jan 2S.-A new general customs
tariff to which the imperial sanction was given oii
January 26 was published to-day An othclal memo
randum accompanying it explains mat Russia mas
followed the example of other States in view OF the
irnpending expiration of her commercial ueatieS'
The new tariffs have been elaborated. says the
memorandum, with special regard 10 the piotec'o"
of national industries, but there mas not peeh aug
idea by an artificial raising Of rates of securing
means Of bargaining with other powers because
such a weapon would cut both ways. The altera-
tons in the existing tariff have been made with the
utmost circumspection and strictly in accordance
with the changes in economic conditions and inter
national competition. Many duties have not heen
changed but new classifications with greater spe-
cialization have been introduced
A novel point in the PRONUNCIATION of the new
tariff is that the date which it will be put in
operation is not specified it being left to the Minis
ter of Finance to obtain the imperial sanction to
put the tariff into force at any time. In the
normal course the tariff will come into force on
the expiration Of the existing treaties or on the
conclusion of ones, but the possibility is not
excluded of earlier application of the new tarif

tions or by the action of foreign governments.

Allies Await Venezuelan Compliance with
These Terms.

London, Jan. 2S-It said at the Foreign

in the Venezuela blockade situation The re-
ports that it will be raised Immediately are
premature. Everything depends on the compli-

the representatives of the powers at Washing

gagged in the blockade will not be included in the
terms Of the arrangement by which 80 per cent
of the customs will form the basis of the

OLD BOARD TO QUIT
IN FAVOR OF NEW.
Such Agreement Is Reached
Yesterday.
THE CHANGE is ALREADY MADE.
Agreement Was Arrived at Last Night
and the Old Police Board vacates
in Favor of the New, Which Is Now
in Control.

The new Board of Police Commits
sioners, that elected by the voters of
Americas at the ballot box some time
ago, last night assumed entire control
of the police department. The long
fight was thus brought to an amicable
eud, the old board abdicates, and the
new commissioners are now holding
the reins
And in this amicable ad justmert of
vexed question the citizens of Ameri-
Gus have cause for earnest and sincere
congratulation.
There VII be no further lit CATION;
the new commissioners, Mayor Haw
kins and Messrs. A. @. Bivlns, H. L.
Mize and Lawson Stapleton, are in,
and will get down to business today.
The settlement was brought about
by the new board agreeing to pay the
bill of costs IN the recent litigation,
though the recent decision of the Su-
preme court was in favor of the new
board. The contest might have been
prolonged several weeks, however,
but in the agreement thus reached the
old board has stepped down and out.
The details of the long struggle are
we'll known to the public and do not
need to be repeated.
At the recent session of the Legisa.
ture bill, ably drawn by Attorney
James Taylor, amending the CITY char
ter of Americus to the end of making
the police board elective by the voters
of the city, was passed despite deter
mined opposition and after one of the
hottest fights ever waged there.
Under this act an election was held
in November last, when Messrs A. @.
Bivins, Lawson Stapleton and Hugh
L. Mize were elected police commits
sioners, with the mayor an ex-oficic
member.
Four members should have been
elected, but tie vote between Messrs
R. S. Broadhurst and r. j. Perry re
suited. This vacancy will have to be

But the old board declined to accep
the result at the ballot box as final
and after formally demanding "a sur
render of the books and records of thu
police department the new beard, rep.
resented by Messrs w. A. Dodsor
and James Taylor as counsel, institut
ed quo warranto proceedings to the
end of determining the matter.
The judgement of the lower cour
was against the new board, but whel
an appeal to the supreme court wa
taken reversal was secured.
AS it seemed that the legal contes
would, in the END, be in favor of til,
new board Of commissioners the agree
ment brought about yesterday wa
suggested, and by the payment of tn
small bill of costs the old board quits
the contest where it is and permits thu
new board to officially assume author
ity at once
Aud thus ends the celebrated polio
commission fight in Americus.
