Marshall. In the Talk OF Reprisais.

The report sent out from st. Petersburg
yesterday that "A bill aiming at tariff re-
taliation against the United States be-
cause of the recent action Of the President
and Congress in abrogating tho treaty of
1882 had been introduced in to the Duma
aroused interest and speculation in GER
tain Wall Street circles. but any sentiment
amounting to trepidation was conspicu-
ously absent. II seemed to be the opinion
among those who were ready TO talk on
the subject that the introduction Of the
bill into the Russian legislative body in
dicated merely a spirit OF resentment
more trivial than menacing
Among those who we're interviewed on
the matter we're several who had taken an
active part in the agitation leading up to
the presentation of the Jewish passport
question before Congress and the swift
action taken thereupon The opinion Of
these was best epitomized by Oscar Straus,
eX-AmtAssador Of the United States "a
Turkey, who said:
Il had not heard that such bill aiming
at discriminatory tariffs against the
United States had been introduced in the
Duma, and on the minute ] am not pre-
pared to give thoroughly exhaustive ex-
preston of my opinions in that matter,
but can say with all of the emphasis at
my command that il this report is true it
only shows how little Russia knows about
the character Of the American Govern
ment and the American people.
If Russia thinks that by putting OBJ
stacles in the way Of commerce between
the two countries it can force this coun-
try to give up the principles of equal rights
and liberty to which it holds Russia is rad
ically in error
Looking at it from the purely mate
rialstic side. 80 far as the commercial
phase Of the question is concerned, Rus
sia needs our exports much more than we
need hers. As matter OF fact. the com
merce Of the United States with Russia
amounts practically to nothing, 1t is
per cent. Of our foreign commerce. But
if il were 90 per cent. that fact would have
no influence whatever on the attitude OF
this country in protecting the rights OF its
citizens"

That a similar service would soon be
offered in the East. where already many
miles Of copper wires have been strung,
was the intimation. Meanwhile the West

NrrERRo, Dec. 22.-The trial Of the
Naples Camorrlsts in progress here has
been ad iourned until January o. when the
examination of witnesses will lie resumed
This will probably be concluded in a
month The speeches for the prosecution
and the defence will occupy two months
more. 1t is figured. therefore. that the
trial will Iva concluded at the latest by the
beginning Of June next.
Some of the witnesses are sick. n nd Pres
dent BianChi Of the court has delegated
IA Judge to take their evidence at their
homes
President Bianchi and Signor SAINT oro,
the Kings Procurator, say emphatically
that the trial will not collapse. The most
difficult part of it. they say. is over and
nothing worse than what has already
come up can possibly arise.
The Camorrists seem to realize that
their conviction is probable and they are
striving to prolong the trial, but President
Bianchi intends to crush any attempts tc
raise side ssueS
There has never been any idea of aban-
doning the trial, though rumors to that
effect were started by the adjournment
over the holidays. SO far more than six
hundred witnesses have testified at the
trial, The case necessarily has been pro-
longed, hut It has not been stopped. II
has adjourned for the Christmas holidays
but will be resumed after Ne W Year s
II will then be decided whether the Jury
will visit Tore del Greco and Naples, the
places where the crimes we're committed
The jurymen have requested that they
be allowed to visit the places in order tc
corroborate some of the testimony. The
president of the court may rule that the
visit would he inexpedient owing TO the
