COUNCILSTO RW THINGS RusSiaDs Commission Will Digct War Plans. CARS ANNOUNCEMENT Grand Duke Nich0laivitch is
 President. Body to Have Charge of Strategic De- cisions on Land and Sea, and
 Will Be Permanent
 Institution.

St. Petersburg, May 22.-(2:05 a. m.)-- The first step towards the institution of the long ng-contemplated council Of national defense to coordinate the ac- tivfties of the military and naval ad- ministrations, has been taken in an inn perial manifesto creating a special pre- liminary commission under the presi- dency of Grand Duke Nicholas Nicho- laivitch. The manifesto is preceded by rescript which Emperor Nicholas has addressed to the Grand Duke. in which his Majesty says:
 Tn order to insure the development of the empires fighting force in a manner corresponding to the needs and resources of the State and uniformity in the duties of the supreme naval and military administration, and also to harmonize them with those of other Government institutions in questions affecting the safety of the State, have deemed it necessary to establish per manent State Council. charge the special commission, consisting of mem- bers appointed by me under the presl- dency of your Imperial Hig mess, to draw up according to my direct sugges- tios a law relating to this institution.
 The formation of the council. and the assumption by it of control of the war is to ensue shortly as the main details already have been worked out, The dispatch of Grand Duke Nicholas Nich- olaivitch, who is designated as the President of the permanent State de- fense council, to Manchuria to assume direct command of the imperial forces there, has been several times seriously considered and he has served repeated ly of late as representative of the Elm peror on commissions dealing with the vital questions of war.
 Takes old Councils Place.
 The existing council of war which has proved unsatisfactory, will be su- perceded by the new body.
 The step is an extremely important one. for which the events of war in the Far East have shown the neces- sity, the two departments failing to work together to the best advantage, even when acuated by the most harmo- nious feelings. and friction has been often manifested. Many opportunities for helpful cooperation between the two arms of the service are constantly arising and if Vice-Admiral RoJest- vensky succeeds in reaching WladivosV tok and shaking the Japanese mastery of the sea, the council will play very weighty role. At the same time the council is created not for the present war, but as a permanent organism or the state, subordinating the war and navy departments and even overshad. owing the other ministries.
 It is understood the formation Of the new council means the definite dban- donment of the plan of sending Grand Duke Nicholas Nicholaivitch to the Far East to assume supreme command on land and sea. General Llnevitch and Vice Admiral Birileff will be left un- hampered except as to the grand out lines of strategy.

Assuming More Importance.

St, Petersburg, May 21.-11.5 .50 D. m ) The desirability of securing the rev. olution of the imposition by Russia of the maximum duty on American im- ports, levied in retaliation for inc im- position of a countervailing duty by the United States upon Russian sugars, which Ambassador Meyer is trying to adjust, is assuming additional import ance owing to the fact that the Russo German tariff. which goes into effect at the end of the year, will form the basis for most favored nation clause. That treaty raises the duties on ma chinery and other articles Tn which American exporters to Russia gre es- pecially interested and the new gen. eral or maximum tariff with corres- bonding increases goes into effect sim ultaneously. Consequently, unless the Russo American tariff dispute Is ad- justed American imports are destined to bear still further burdens. If the dispute Is adjusted the United States will get the benefit under the favored nation clause not only under the one accorded to Germany but also under the new treaty about to be negotiated with France.
 The Russian government seems to be sincerely anxious to again place the United States on the most favored na- tion basis, but naturally would like to see the old status quo restored. How ever, Russia realizes the difficulty in the matter of the countervailing duty on sugar. which, without further leg islation, was rendered res-adjudicata by the decision of the Supreme Court of the United States and therefore is willing to waive the question of sugar, but insists upon the removal of maxi mum duties upon bi-products uf pe- troleum imposed. which affects Eng fish vasaline and other products man ufactured from Russian naptha.
 The Russian government demands a guarantee similar to the one in the new Russo German treaty against any possible abuse of the favored nation clause by specifically binding each country in the future under no circum- stances or pretext to levy duties on the products of the other in excess of those levied on similar products of a third power.
 Ambassador Meyer has laid the mat ter before the State Department and is waiting instructions.

plies to Panama.
 Philadelphia. May 21.-In view of the possible difficulty of the national gov ernment In obtaining vessels to carry supplies and machinery to Panama to be used Tn the building of the canal there, barge owners of this city will make an effort to get the business. One barge company already has sent proposals to the Secretary of War of ferlng to carry the governments freight to Colon. Shipping men say that the plan is practicable although no cargoes have never been sent to Colon in barges.
 The company that has already made an offer owns a fleet of ocean, gong tugs and barges which is regularly en- gagged in the Southern lumber trade. After discharging the government freight at Colon 1t is claimed they could get return cargo by stopping at Florida ports for lumber for the Northern market. This would dispose of the objections raised to carrying ca nal supplies in foreign bottoms.
