Such information as the state de-
partment has received from its agents
in Europe tends to confirm the belief
that the North Sea incident will be
submitted to a commission represent
ing both governments with neutral
umpire. It is not believed that this
commission, in the event that it found
that there was no reasonable basis for
such apprehension on the part of the
Russian commanders as would war;
rant them in firing into the British
fishing feet, would undertake to pre-
scribe punishments for the officers
at fault. 1t would rather simply point
out their laches, leaving it to the Rus
sian government to deal with them.

The United States government owns
about 200 lots in various sections of
the city of Hot Springs, Ark, which
are to be offered for sale at public
auction next spring. The lots are part
of the government reservation which
have been cut off or become isolated
by sales here and there or by improve
ments. The people of Hot Springs are
very anxious that the lots be sold,
since the government is not improv-
ing them, and the Secretary of the
Interior has no disposition to have the
government appear in the attitude Of
obstruct;ng municipal improvements,
which would be the case were the lots
retained and not improved. He had
intended holding a sale early in Dec
ember and for that purpose a reap
praisement Of the lots was ordered
some time ago. 1t was found, howev-
er, that the property must be ad-
vertised for three months prior to the
sale, so that it will probably be March
or April before they are placed on
the market.

A movement has been started by
the big milling interests of the North
and Northwest looking to the removal
of the duty of 25 cents on wheat. If
the duty were abolished the millers
would import wheat more largely from
Canada, and after meeting the de-
mands at home, would have more
-four to export. At present large
amount of wheat is brought from
Canada to be ground in American
mills, subject to a rebate in the duty
if the -four is returned to the neigh
boring country, or is exported to 9TH
er foreign countries. The Canadian
wheat is harder than domestic wheat,
and the millers are in the habit of
mixing the two varieties of -four. But
in doing this the identity of the Cana
dan flour is lost, and thus no rebate
is secured when the same is exported.
The present short crop of wheat, being
the shortest in many years, has given
the millers considerable force to their
argument, but, nevertheless, they will
be strongly resisted by the farmers
unless a trade is made with them, and
this would open the way for general
tariff revision. Representative Bah
cock, of Wisconsin, has been contend
ing for three or four years that the
steel schedule Of the Dingley Bill
should be revised, and several con-
gressmen are ready to step forward
with demands for changes in a great
many other schedules, including lum-
ber. An attempt, therefore, to lower
or abolish the duty on wheat, if made
this winter, would provoke such de-
bate that no other legislation would
be accomplished, and very probably
that would fail.
