DISCRIMINATING TARIFF
REVOKED BY RUSSIA

Oyster Bay, Sept. 11.-At the CON-
ference Saturday night between Presi-
dent Roosevelt and the Russian peace
ENJOYS, Mr.. Witte. by direction Of the
emperor reported the following com.
munication.
"Since years ago, in consequence Of
a Misunderstanding in the interpreta-
ton Of the most favored nation CLAUSE.
there were established in Russia on
several articles Of American prvoduo.
ton customs dues on higher scale
than those levied on the same articles
when imported from other countries.
His majesty, the emperor Of Rus
sia, has commanded me to inform the
president of the United States that he
has been pleased to order the discon.
tinusnce of the levying Of such higher
duties on American products, in order
that henceforth American manufac-
lures should pay the same duties az
imports from other countries"
Refers to Retaliation.
Washington, Sept. 11.-As under
stood here that the customs duties re-
ferred to by Mr.. Witte in his commu-
nication to the president. and which
by direction of the czar have been dis
continued, grew out of the imposition
in the early part of 1901 by this gov
eminent of differential duty on Rus
ian sugar imported into the United
States.
Following this action of the United
States was the issuance in retaliation
of an order of the Russian minister of
finance, which became effective March
8, 1901, imposing maximum duties on
certain American articles, the in
creases ranging from 20 to 80 per cent.
Articles Affected.
Generally stated these articles were
cast iron wares, manufactures of iron
and steel, iron and steel boilers, tanks,
bridges pipes, etc., machinery, sewing
machines, motords, dynamos, portable
engines, locomotives and locomotive
cars, locomobiles and fire engines.
The controversy which involved the
imposition by the United States Of a
countervailing duty on Russian sugar
by the United States grew out Of the
allegation by American producers that
Russia was paying bounty to he,
sugar producers.
