WASHINGTON DUKE DEAD

Tobacco Msgnate Passes Away at His
Home In North Carolina.
Durham, N. c., May 9.-Washington
Duke, the millionaire tobacco manu-
facturer and founder of what is now
the American Tobacco company, died
at his residence here after protracted
illness at the age of 81 years Some
months ago Mr.. Duke fell and broke a
limb, and since that time had been
confined to his room. His death was
FASTENED by complication OF ailments
With him when he died were his three
sons, Brodie L. Duke, Of Durham; J. b
Duke, president of the American To-
bacco company, Of New York, and b. n.
Duke. also of New York.
The career of Washington Duke is
remarkable in that he and his three
sons rose from poverty to the posses
sion of fortunes estimated at several
millions of dollars each within a period
of some 40 years. They began with the
manufacture of tobacco in a small way
in the country near Durham, where he
was born. Some years ago his plant
went into the American Tobacco COM
pany, j. B. Duke becoming president
of the new company.

Paris, May "a general depression
prevailed on the Bourse owing TO the
japanese attitude against France over
the question Of neutrality in the Far
East.
A semi-oflcial note says: Contrary
to the allegations contained in a dis

eminent not disregarded the rules of
neutrality. but after sending its civil

structions for the enforcement of those

The critical tone of the British press
brought out an emphatic general state

GERMANYSNEW TARIFF
The New Schedules Discriminate
Against American Goods.
DISASTROUS TO OUR TRADE
Consul General at Berlin Urges Prep
araton Of New Treaty Of Amity and
Commerce to Protect Interests Of


aration Of New Treaty Of Amity and
Commerce to Protect Interests Of
Both Nations.
Washington. May Consul Gen
eral Mason. at Berlin. in a report to
the state department on the disas-
trous effects upon American trade with
Germany involved in the new German
tariff law which is TO take effect next
March, urges the preparation of "a
new, broad and carefully drawn treaty
of amity and commerce which shall
promote a normal and increased reel
procal trade. while conserving and
protecting the true interests Of both
nations"
The consul general, commenting on
some effects OF the new rates. cites
the schedule on dried apples pears.

says.
Under the new autonomous SEIZED
ule all these goods will be dutiable at
1913 per 22O.4 pounds. while exports
from Italy. Roumania. Austria-Hun-
gary and Servia (the European coun-
tries which notably produce a surplus

the duty on which will be sl.1S. or half
that imposed by the autonomous tariff.
THE decisive advantage Of $2.S5 per
220.4 pounds duty on sewing machines,
as compared with the autonomous rate
Of 1888. is granted only in the treaty
with Switzerland which ought thereby
TO find an important outlet for its sur
plus machines in Germany. Importers
Of shoes from Italy. Switzerland Bel
GUM and Austro-Hungary will have an
advantage of s5.O6 and STA per 22O.46
pounds in medium and fine shoes, re-
spectively. over importers OF similar
goods from the United States"
Mr.. Mason. however, thinks this duty
ought not to be fatal to the American
shoe trade in Germany.
Mr.. Mason adds that public opinion
in Germany is sharply divided on the
question whether the most favored ma
ton clause of the American-German
treaty will be allowed to continue after
the new commercial treaties become eff
fective. The commercial and industrial
classes generally. he says. are opposed
to a drastic policy, which might lead
to reprisals and increase Of cost OF
bread.
The state department is daily receiv-
ing protests from large American busi-
ness houses against the new German
tariff rates, which they claim will de-
stroy their German export trade.

Broken Neutrality Denied BY France.

Broken Neutrality Denied BY France.
London. May 9-France has rciter-
ated It's assurances TO England that
Nojestvensky had not and will not he
permitted to abuse French neutrality
in any way involving practical harm
to Japan.
These assurances sound rather hol-
low in Downing street where it is adj
mitted that France appears already to
have given aid to the Russian squad
rons. without which Rojestvensky
probably could never have brought up
his armada in shape 10 make effective
attack on Togos fleet
The situation could hardly be more
serious. Lord Lansdowne and his col
leagues in the cabinet are thoroughly
aroused The Japanese are excited and
are pressing the British government TO
defend them against the Russo-French
coalition
II is not thought that general war
will result unless France should adopt
a recalCitrant instead OF ConclilatorN
attitude. Lord Lansdowne will stand
a great deal in order to avoid rupture
with France and the consequent de-
struction OF the diplomatic achieve
ments which underlie his growing
fame. II IS also believed that Delcasse
will exert himself 10 the utmost TO pre-
vent such a catastrophe.
Intense bitterness prevails in Down
ing street and throughout naval and
military circles against Germany. The
kaiser is held responsible for existing
complications TO a greater degree than
even Russian advocates of a general
war as a means Of avoiding complete
Russian humiliation

Fifth Trial of One Damage Case.

Still another verdict has been rem
dered in the case of Henry Smith VS..
J. G. and l. NJ Day, which has just
been tried for the fifth time in the
United States court. Judge Bennett,
who was attorney for the plaintiff, re-
turned home last night and tells us a
verdict for $4,000 damages was Sc
cured.
1t will be remembered that in 1895
Smith was injured by a rock falling
on him when he was sitting on the
steamer Dalles City at the locks. He
sued the contractors on the locks,
asking for $4,000, but lost his case
1t was then taken to the court of ap-
peals, which reversed the decision. In
the second trial the jury disagreed A
third trial brought a verdict for So
900. Judge Bellinger set the verdict
aside and granted new trial. Then
in the fourth a non-suit was granted
Again 1t was taken to the court of ap-
peals, which the second time reversed
the decision. Now comes the fifth
trial and $40, 0,O0O.-The Dalles Chron-

Profitable Walnut Trees.

The question of the profitable cul-
tivation of the English walnut In
Asotin, county has been fully estab-
lished in favor of the trees by two
trees in the home lot of W. E. Hope
we'll on the first, street east of Main
street. The trees are seedlings and
~ years Of age. They have large
trunks, 16 to IS inches in diameter,
four feet from the ground. In 1903
these trees yielded over 800 pounds OF
nuts. the wholesale price being IL
cents a pound. a return of $18 to the
tree. the cost of gathering being but
nominal. The yield of 1904 was not
quite so large but the entire product
was disposed of in the local market
at over Is cents a pound, making the
aggregate returns equal to those of
1903.-I.ewiston Tribune.
