RUSSIA. WOULD
RAISE. TARIFF
Legislative Proposal is In
troduCed Into the Duma
(9y Associated Press, ,

ST. PETERSBURG, Dec. PA
legislative proposal to provide for
tariff war schedules applicable to the
United States at the expiration of
the Russo-American treaty of COM
merce' and navigation of 1882 has
been introduced into the duma by
President Guchkoff and other signers
representing the Octoberist and ma
nationalist parties which control the
majority of the Duma. The L-.l pro-
poses a raise in, existing Russian dut-
les of one hundred Der cent and also
proposes to impose /, duty of one
hundred per cent on articles which
are admitted free under. the present
Russian tariff. Besides thes impo-
sitions the bill proposes to levy the
double gross weight tax established
by law on June 81, 1901, on merchan-
disc arriving by sea, and to levy
double tonnage Sax. Should the pres
ent American tonnage tax be raised
to disfavor the Russian vessels then
the Russian tonnage tax will be cor
respondingly increased. 1t is said
the schedules are to be applicable to
all countries which do not grant Rus
sia the most favored nation treat
ment in commerce and navigation.
The proposal will be submitted to
the financial commission.
The necessity for the proposed leg
islation is explained In an accompa-
nying declaration in which 1t is stat
ed that the regular American tariff
schedules, which Will be applicable
to Russian goods at the expiration Of
the treaty OF commerce and naviga'
tion of 1882, will be 80 high as to-
have a prohibitive. character, and
that they greatly exceed the Russian
normal tariff and siss ieueion taxes,
which would, be naturally applicable
to American goods in the absence of
the treaty.

Member Of Immigrants for
1911 Lower Than ADy
Tine Since 1908
(By Associated .Press,)

NEW YORK, Dec. 22.-One of the
greatest slumps in immigration ever
recorded at the port of New York is
being written into the records at
!, Ellis Island during the closing days
sof the year. Already the records
show that nearly three hundred thou
sand fewer immigrants have landed
there up to the present time than for
the corresponding period of 1910. And
the indications are, Commissioner
Williams says, that there will be
reduction of thirty per cent or more
from 1910 for the year. The incom-
ing tide of humanity is lower now
than at any time since 1908. Here
