Most of the time, of the cabinet today was spent 3n a discussion of the action of the treasury department imposing a coun- vainng cuty on certain wussjan "" oiucts. -secretary jage expmii in w i .i .... J.S T-; - T i.1 J4-,J-, I ha-d taken and the cabinet unanimously Tan irne ajction wnioii. tut; uciui,urcuv approved of what he had done. . He was auithorizied to give out a statement to clear up the misunderstandings which exist and later did) so at the treasury department. As a result of the consideration of the entire matter by the cabinet Secre tary Hay will soon (make representa tions to the Russian government fully explaining the attitufde of this country and pointing out that Russia has acted hastily and under a .misapprehension of the facts in her position of retaliation. The statement of (the secretary of the treasury is substantially as follows: "Secretary Gage called attention to the tariff act of 'July 24, 1897, known as the Dtineley act. which among other things, provides that if tthere be im ported; into the United States crude pe troleum or the products of crude petro- leaim! orodtueed toy ..any country-, which imtposes a auty on pexroieum ; or iv products, exported from the Unliea States there, shall in such cases be levied, .paid and collected a duty upon said petroleum or its products so im ported equal to the duty imposed . by such country. "This provision was embodied in a circular issued to the officers of the customs, dated 'April 21, 1898, and to which was appended a schedule of 109 countries' ! imposing a duty on petro leum and its products. These coun tries included 'France, Germany, Austria- Hungary, Russia, Spain and prac tically all of the leading countries of the world. This circular was issued for the purpose of carrying, Unto effect the pe troleum provision of the Dingley tariff, law. 'On June 18, 1900, an invoice of refined petroleum was received at Ro chester, N. Y., manufactured' (from crude petroleum products in Russia.The collector of. customs. in Rochester held that the refined article was subject to duty as a production of Russia, and as sessed duty accordingly. An appeal was taken fromi the action of the collector to the board of general appraisers at New York. This board on January 28, 1901, sustained the collector, holding that petroleum (produced in 'Russia and imported Into 'England and1 there re fined' and thence sent to this country was 'dutiable at a rate equal to that Imposed by Russia on petroleum im ported Into that country from the United States." "No protest or objection, so far as the department knows, was received from any country against the decision, and the matter was not again brought to the attention of the government until March, 1901. On that date the depart ment held that invoices of products of cruklie petroleum must be accompanied by a United (States certificate showing the country where the petroleum was produced. In the absence of this cer. tifioate the liquidation was to 'be sus pended, and pending further informatioxt the rate of duties must be estimated at the highest rate levied "by any country on such petroleum. 'Further than this the (aiepartanent 3ias never taken any action whatever onthe subject of pe troleum."' SUICIDE AT RUTHERFORDTOH Col- John W. Crowder Hangs Him self to an Apple Tree. .

After the declara tion of war between Prussia and France one of Von Moltke's visitors was greatly surprised to find him read ing a French novel and asked him ihy he was. not preparing his plan of rampaign. 'It is already prepared,' re plied Von Moltke. 'It is in that cabi- let yonder.' I think we snouia nave a reneral sfaff in our army," said the Admiral.
