PETERSBURG, Feb. 16—The Finance Minister, M. de Witte, has proved bis ability to hit quick and hard. He was evidently prepared for reprisals before Secretary Gage took final action. M. de Witte sent to the Senate Wednesday for publication an ordinance levying 30 per cent increased duty on the most impor- tant American imports into Russia. The ordinance was published to-day in the Of- ficlal Messenger, and becomes effective March 1. This action is greatly regretted eerececesc sese s st eessevorse 'rmte much harm therefrom. Well in- formed Americans do not bellevt the Su- preme Court will sustain the claim that Russia pays a bounty on sugar directly or indirectly, and regard the action taken as hasty, though ndét unexpected. It is believed that little harm would have re- sulted to Russian interests if the action of the court had been awaited WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.—Count Cas- sini, the Russian Embassador, this after- noon received a cablegram from the Rus- sian Foreign Office confirming the report of the issue of the decree imposing in- creased dutles on certain American im- ports into Russia, and took steps to in- form the State Department accordingly. It is realized that a grave crisis has been reached in the trade relations of the ited States and Russia. The immediate effect of the Russian decree, when it be- comes operative on Mareh 1, will be to in- crease by 30 per cent the duty on Ameri- can machinery, steel and iron goods. These goods already enjoy two separats reductions, 30 per cemt being taken off from the general and 20 per cent from the conventional duties. The articles referred to in the Russian decree® are machinery and tools of every kind, manufactures and products of cast iron and steel. Roughly stated, the United States is said to have exported goods of this description to Rus: sia last year to the amount of about $30, 000,000. The addition of 30 per cent to the duty will, it is thought, prove practically pro- hibitory. The action taken to-day means that the Russlan <Government will net concern itself with a test case nor await the issue of such a ease. However, there }1s an expectation that the American im- porters of Russlan sugar will make the fight on_their own interests. Some car- | goes of Russian sugar are now afloat and on the way to the United States, where at least one is due to arrive in the next ten da; It is not doubted that the con- signees in the United States will, rather than pay the countervailing duty, which would make it impossible to compete with other sugar, make up a test case. If the issue favors the Russlan side, then the obnoxious decree will be amended, though it is not decided that the Russian Gov- ernment feels offended.

The | man insisted that he was not carrying around books for other lawyers; that he bbught his book and it was private prop- erty. In vain did father appeal to the Justice.

SHINGTON, Feb. 16—The House to-day made little progress with the sun- dry civil appropriation bill. *The major portion of the time was spent in debating a proposition offered by Hill of Connec- ticut to strike out the appropriation of $100,000 for the free trapsportation of sil- wer coin. It was defeated—61 to 66. In retaliation against the action of Can- non, chairman of the Appropriations Committee, yesterday, in fillbustering against the passage of private claims, Richardson, the minority leader, attempt- ed to block the consideration of the sun dry civil appropriation bill until a quo- rum was produced. When Cannon made the motion to go Into committee of the whole to resume the consideration of'the sundry civil bill Richardson demanded g division, which showed less than 100 members_present, and Richardson made the point of no quorum. “The gentleman from Iilinols yester- day,” said, he, “insisted upon a quorum to pass an $80 claim. 1 think we should have a quorum to-day to pass a measure carrying $60,000,000.” “The gentieman may make himself res =poneible for an extra session,’- observed Cannon in reply, as the Speaker directed a call of the House. Under that order the dcors were closed and the sergeant at arms was directed to bring in absent members. 7 Two_ hundred and one members ap- peared, all voting for Cannon’s motion, and accordingly the House went into commijttee of the whole and resumed the consideration of the sundry civil bill. Olmstead of Pennsylvania continued to make points of order against all hew leg- islation in the bill and such increases as were not authorized by law. Hill of Connecticut moved to strike out the item of $100,000 for the free transpor- tation of gilver coin, The motion was op- posed by McRae of Arkansas, Shafroth and Bell of Colorado and by Cannon. Hill's motion was defeated—6l to 66. Cowherd of Missouri offered -an- amend- ment to appropriate 350000 for food and supplies for -the native . inhabitants of Alaska. Cannon made a Eoin( of order.

When Ford reached Third and Town- send streets he looked about for a weapon. Searching a junk yard that be- longed to the railroad company he found a picce of iron pipe fourteen inches long. This, he thought, would suit his purpose, and concealing it under his coat he start- ed for his home. When his wife spoke of the small amount of money in the house he told her that he would have more on the morrow and asked her not to worry. Yesterday at noon the desperate com- | mercial traveler stationed himself at the |'entrance of the Nevada Bank. He had | first requested a vacation from his em- | ployers, E. E. George & Co., at 35 Stev- enson street, until the 20th day of the | 'present month. Many people passed in and out of the banking place, but none of them showed evidences of having a largfi | amount of money. Finally Lee Long, who is employed in the cigar factory of Cabanas & Co., at Front street, stepped out on the sidewalk with a sack of coin in his hand. Ford decided that his | opportunity had arrived and he followed | Long. When_ the pair arrived at a point in front of 314 Sacramento street Ford dealt the Chinese a blow across the forehead with the iron pipe and sent him reeling to the pavement. Then he picked up the bag of money and leisurely walked away. Ford was well dressed and of such a re- spectable appearance that pedestrians fjelvere astonished by the daring act. * Be- fore any one could interfere the highway- man had disappeared on Battery street. Detective Makes Capture. The police were immediately notified and Detective Hammill was detailed to capture the offender. While Long had an ugly gash across the forehead and was partially insensible, yet he was able to give the police a minute description of his assallant, and on_this the" detective worked. Hammill finally located a man in a restaurant at 226 Battery street, near the scene of the crime, who answered the description of the highwayman #nd walt- ed for him to come out. It was Ford, and at first he denied his gulit. The detective noticed that one of his pockets bulged out, and when the bag of stolen coin was produced Ford frankly admitted his guilt and told the story of his crime. When he repeated the story he wept like a child. “1 was ruined by racetrack gambling," | sald Ford at the Hall of Justice. “It was | the curse of my life and I wish that some one had killed me before I committed this crime to-day. 1 am not a eriminal. This | 18 my first offense. I planned it all. out of love for my wife and mother. When I found the plece of pipe I thought of load- ing it, but I ref¥alned from doing this as it was not my intention to commit mur- der—simply to make up some of my de- ficlencles.” - & Disgrace Hard to Bear. Ford’s name.was placed on the detinue book. He begged that his relatives be ex- cluded from seéing him in his disgrace. He is refined and has every evidence. of respectability. His father died some years nro, and since then he has provided for his mother, taking her wherever he went. Reclflntlr his sala has been small, amounting to only a month, but in spite® of this he married and says that both relatives could be easily provided for on that sum. 3 | Ford's wife and mother visited him in | the prison last night. The meeting of the prisoner and his relatives was pathetic and brought tears to the siu of many who witnessed it. The authoritieq_last night placed two charges against ¥ord, one. of assault to murder and another of robbery. ¥ ———————— GUN ON KEARSARGE DISABLED BY SHELL Explosion Takes Place While Squad- ron Is at Target Practice Off Pensacola.

H& was popular in the ard” and enjoyed the friendship of J."W. Walker, the terminal superinten- dent, and J. R. Dannelly, his assistant. As a result of the confidence repoked in him by his superiors Gavan received more than ordinary consideration from the otker employes. He was trusted im- plicitly. : Shortly after his installation he was given checks to collect. He always made prompt return to his fellow employes, un- til yesterday, when he recelved a larger number than usual. He was due at the yards about noon, but when he did not return an hour Jater inquiries were set on oot. Finally 1t dawned upon the waiting employes to communicate with the police, His description was furnished and de- tectives were sent out to find him. No in- | formation as to his whereabouts could be had at his residence and then the em- ployes’ who waited for the-money that | never came started out to hunt on their | own hook. Asgistant Superintendent Donnelly tel- ephoned to his wife at 954 Geary street, asking her if she had seen Frank at the racetrack. She answered that she had not. Donnelly sald last night: “Frank has been in the emplofi of the a hal company for a . year and 1f, six months of the time being spent here. He was a man of excellent reputation. He had about eight or nine checks, the total of which as far as I can learn amounted to 3545. We fear that after receiving the money he met with foul play. I lost noth- ing by him, and have been acting with Detective Riordan in the interest of Mr. Walker."” Two among the heavy losers are em- ployes Platt and Letts, each of whom s out $100. Their estimates of the number and amount of checks missing differ greatly from that of Mr. Donnelly. Ac- cording to them the amount will probabl exca?d $1000. E “We_trusted Franl implicit,” said Eoth Platt and Letts at Sm City Hall last night. ‘“He has been cashing these checks for us ever since he came into the employ of the company. He played the races once in a while when he had a day | off, and we thought he might have gone vesterday to one of the tracks.” “No,” ‘sald one of the ladies who ac- companied the men to the City Hall, “I do not think so. Frank sald he knew of | better opportunities -and often spoke of Manila. ossibly he went away on the Sherman.” This solution did not meet with the ap- who seemed convineced that gambling was the cause of Gavan's fall from grace.

The House conferees insisfed that they .could not accept tha.Seénte substitute and the Senate conferees main- tained that if any measure was to be- come law the House was to agree to the Senate bill.
