i Washinuton, Jan. 5.—The tariff war between United States and Europe ■bached an acute phase yesterday. As foreshadowed hist week, the very first Official act of Mr. Hoiiglemullcr, the new Austrian minister, was the lodgment of a protest against that paragraph of the sugar schedule act which imposes an additional duty of 1-10 of 1 cent on srogar coming to the United States from countries which pay an export bounty on it. This action was taken yesterday and the grou id taken by the minister was similar to that which formed the basis of the protest of Germany—that the additional duty paid discriminates against Austria and is consequently a Violation of the treaty of commerce with that nation. So far no threat of retalia-

Indianapolis, Jan. 5.—Although the general assembly will meet within a week not a great amount of activity is discernable in legislative circles as yet. Hut few members have put in an appearance at the capital, and those who are here are running the gauntlet of tho placehnnters. Of course the friends of the various candidates—and even the candidates themselves—are presenting their “claims” in tlie most convincing manner possible. The content i ir speaker, around which more iutere.-t centers than any other place within the gift of the legislature, is not well enough oeveloped to make predictions reliable. Seven of the candidates are already on the ground: Fred E. Holloway of Vanderburgh county, J. G. Allen of Daviess, 1$. F. Willoughby of Knox, Marshall Newhouseof Decatur, F. 1). Merritt of Lagrange, J. (.’. Adams and W. II. Leedyof Marion. Including candidates and their friends there are about 200 persons hero waiting for tlie members to arrive, and who are in the meantime laying tho groundwork for their various Is Kims. The gre it number of applicants for librarian renders a settlement of this contest a matter of some concern. There i- some talk that the Republican eauci:will appoint a committee to pass upon the merits of the candidates for this

place.

The Republican caucus will meet on Wednesday night of next week, and it is expected that the fir-t of tlie week will see a lively campaign going on in the iutere-T of the various candidates. Tlie Deni i*a .. b"in'r in the minority, are simply inn ' .1 spectators in these preliminary arrangements.
