Don't you ships steer seaward to lands

Old Georgia speaks and woos you to her

Where her meadows meet the morning-hear

Where the darky hears the banjo. whose light

And shakes the shining silver from his pocket

S12,OOO,OOO.

NEW YORK, Feb. 5.-All interests
in the United States Shipbuilding i'm
broglio are now taking a breathing
spell. Complete assent to the new plan
for peace is not yet positively assured.
The foreclosing of the New York Sc
curity and Trust Company's mortgage
for $10,0O0,0O0 and the Mercantile
Trust Company's mortgage for s16,-
00O,00 will wipe off the slate two
great membranes on the properties.
In this connection Wall street began
to figure to-day what Schwab loses by
the reorganization plan, as compared
with the original Sheldon reorganiza-
ton plan of last May. Figuring his
5000, 900 shares of preferred stock at
10 gives $6,750,0O0 and his common
100000 at 25 yields $500, 900. max
ing a total of SS,25O,OO0. His Bethle-
hem plant, which under the new plan
he turns over to the reorganizers, rep
resents a purchase price of $7.246,O0
on which there is accumulated interest
on his investment of S50O,000 for
twelve months and surplus earnings
estimated at $500, 600. These figures
aggregate $9,246,OOO. Deducting from
this $S,250, 900 leaves a shrinkage of
his values of $996,OO0.
Bethlehem is rated to-day as worth
sic, 900, 900, with accumulated profits
of $4,000, 900. To-day Schwab's hold
ings may be set down at SS.25O.OOO.
or $11, $50, 900 less than the Sheldon

HER LACK Of
GRATITUDE
New Tariff DiSaS-
trOuS to This
Country.

HAVANA, Feb. 5.-President Palma's
decree increasing the rates of customs
duties was promulgated to-day and
viii take effect tomorrow.
The new rates are considered more
favorable 10 European importers than
10 American. The latter hoped that a
30 per cent increase, which is the maxi
mum rate allowed by Congress, would
have been placed on goods like linens,
which the United States cannot manu-
facture in competition with Europe, but
which they could hope to substitute to
some extent with cotton. The Ameri-
cans also hoped for more radical in
crease in the duties on cottons, which
would have enabled goods from the
United States to compete, with the ad-
vantage Of reciprocity, against British
and European cottons. The President s
decree fixes the increase on linens, silks
and woolens at Is per cent and that on
cotton at 20 per cent.
Under President Palma's decree the
maximum increases of 80 per cent are
placed on all the main food imports
from the United States. among these
being poultry, game, hams. fresh meats
Of all kinds, butter. cheese, eggs, all
grains, flour, vegetables and fruits.

CONTRABAND OF WAR
Russia Amends Rules to Meet
Anglo-American Demands.
FOOD NOT STRICTLY SEIzABLE,
May BE Confiscated Only when Con-
signed 10 BIOcISnded Ports or Des-
tined For Enemy's Forces-Fuel
In Same Category.

ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 17.-Rus-
sias reply to the representations OF
the United States and Great Britain
regarding contraband of war has been
communicated to their respective EN-.
baSsies.
Russia in principle meets the views
of the American and British govern
ments regarding fOOdstuffs and coal
and other fuel as being conditional
contraband of war, distinctly placing
them in the category Of articles sus
ceptible of uses both in war and peace,
and as such only cOniiscable when con.
signed to blockaded ports or destined
for military or naval forces of the enc
my.
Shipments in the ordinary course of
trade by private persons or firms, even
to an enemy's port, may be considered
prima facie not cOntrabapd, but upon
this point distinct reservation Is made.
The simple fact of consignment to pri.
vate persons does not preclude the pos
sibility that the articles are not ulti-
llldltlN NtNlliltNl lOI AAfllAEilNllA l'l'ANs
and Russia insists that it be not nee
essarily regarded rs conclusive evil
dence of the innocent character of the
goods. In other words, irregular ships
papers or other suspicious circum-
stances might vitiate the assumption
of innocent character but where such
suspicion is raised the burden of proof
to warrant legal seizure is TO rest
upon the captor. Count Lamsdorti
pointed out, however, that captains
of merchantmen also owed duty in
such cases.
Count LAmsdorffs reply was not
presented in written form. but was
communicated verbally to Ambassador
Hardinge 1t will not involve public
amendment of Russian contraband and
prize regulations, but in effect 1t be-
comes an official Interpretation of the
original regulations made by the com
mission composed of representatives of
the ministries of foreign affairs, ma
rine, war and justice, which consid-
| cred the subject in connection with the
| objections raised by the United States
and Great Britain, and as such will
hereafter govern naval commanders
and prize courts. which thus far in the
war have classed all articles enumer-
ated in article q Of the Russian regula'
| lions as absolute contraband.
In this way Russia preserves her dig
nifty by not making an open surrender,
at the same time consenting to the in
depreciation asked for by the United
States and Great Britain In the inter
est of the rights of neutral commerce
In some respects, however, there is
good ground for the belief that the
contention of the United States that
railway material and certain kinds OF
machinery be clasSed as conditional
contrahand will not be accepted. TIC
