The sule of American agricultural machines and Implements in Russia during llrd was the largest on record, according- to the annual report of United States Consul Ihenar, at Odessa.

He says that such machines as harvesters, binders, mowers, reapers and horse rake.s of American make are so weli and so favorably known as to defy serious competition In Russia, but that there are a number of other agricultural Implements, such as plows, drills, seeding machine., etc.. of American make which are not to be found In the empire.(irrnian Do Not "Want a. Tariff "Wnr. WASHINGTON, Dec. 23. It is not probable that Germany ever will begin a tariff war with the United States, says Consular Agent Harris, at Elbenstock, In a report to the State Department dated Nov. 22. The subject which interests the German press most. In connection with the new German tariff bill. Mr. Harris says, is the probable effect it will have on tho renewal of commercial treaties In 11 3. He Kayj that the sentiment is almost unanimously in favor of first reaching an airrtemcnt with the United States and using this a.s a basis for concluding treaties with other nations. Our foodstuffs and manufactured goods. Mr. Harris says, have gained such a foothold in Germany that it will be a dilhcult matter to dislodge them. .liny lie Left to l'lebUcIte. WASHINGTON, Dec. 23. The negotiations between the governments of the United States and Denmark looking to the cession of the Danish West Indies are dragging. No substantial progress has been made since last week. The latest suggestion from the Danish side Is that the people of the Islands shall determine by a plebiscite whether or not they shall be ceded to the United States. The outcome of such a test cannot be foretold, for the strorg feeling of attachment for the mother country on the one hand might bo offset by the great trade advantages expected to follow the cession of the islands to tho United States.

CHICAGO, Dec. 23.-The closing argument In the suit against "Dr." John Alexander Dowie for the appointment of a receivership for his Zion lace industries was .begun by Attorney S. W. Packard to-day in Judgo TuleyJ court. Mr. Packard denounced the action of Samuel Stevenson, Dowie's brother-in-law, in having brought tho suit, and expressed the hope that his better spirit would move him to reconciliation with Zion. A strong plea was made to show that Dowie was not Infallible. Attorney Packard likene! Dowie to J. Plerpont Morgan as a great organizer, but ho said he doubtless made mistakes. "lie does not claim to be more than human." he said, "for in the Rible St. James says Klijah was a man of like passions with ourselves." Mr. Packard, upholding Dowie's claims as Klijah, said that he would prefer him at his bedside if he were at the point of death rather than any skilled physician. Mr. Packard is not a member of Zion congregation. "Dr." Dowie and his wife were present in court with by far the largest number of followers that has yet lilied the room.

He touched on the death of Mrs. Stevenson, wife of the plaintiff and sister of Dowie. and said that when Stephenson in his grief sought out Dowie as a brother anl priest. Dowie gave him a cup of gall and calle.l him murderer. Arguments in the case closeel this afternoon and the case was given into tho hands of Judge Tuley for decision. DISASTER IN A TUNNEL SEVEN PERSONS IllllNEI) TO DEATH AM) SEVERAL I.VJIHED. Explosion In n Fuse IIox Set Fire to a Train on tin English Electric Hallway. LIVERPOOL, Dec. 23. An explosiop in ! a fuse box set fire to a train on the elec tric overhead railway at Dingle station to-day. Several of the railway employes were terribly burned and six were killed. The burning train entered a tunnel stored with stacks of creosoted railroad sleepers. These were also set on lire and the tunnel became a blazing furnace. The fire brigade had the greatest difficulty in extinguishing the flames. The corpses of the six men killed were carried from the tunnel. Later The station buildings were much damaged. Subsequently the bolies of the station foreman and the signal boy were extricated, making sevtn deaths In all. including the driver and the guard of the train. Apparently no passengers were killed, but It is possible that other bodies may be recovered later. Fortunately the Dingle station is the terminus of a railway running along the docks, otherwise a terrible disaster would have been recorded. The accident occurred at 6 o'clock in the evening. The train was packed, but tho majority of passengers had alighted at the previous station. Rumors were spread that forty or fifty persons had been killed, ami owing to the dense volume of smoke issuing from the tunnd it was some hours before an entrance to the tunnel could be effected. Many passengers jumped from the burning train and rushed out of the tunnel, while others were dragged out by their fellow-travelers in a half suffocated condition. In spite of the brave attempts maJe by the officials to enter the tunnel they were soon compelled to abandon this idea. Japan Has n Surplus. . TOKIO. Dec. 24.

TO FIGHT THE MERGER

Minn., Dec. 23.-Governor Van Sant has received replies from the Governors of Montana and North Dakota to his suggestion that a conference of Governors of States interested in fighting the Northwestern Railway merger be he'd at Helena, Mont., Dec. 20. Governor Toole approves and welcomes the Governors to Montana. Governor White, of North Dakota, promises to attend, with Attorney General Pyle. of that State. Governor Van Sant sent Invitations to the Governors of North Dakota. Montana. Idaho. South Dakota, Washington and Oregon, and suggested that in addition to the Governor tho attorney general of each State attend. Governor Van Sant is desirous of securing the moral support of all these States in Minnesota's fight against the merger. Attorney General Douglas to-day announced the appointment of M. D. Munn, of St. Paul, and General George P. Wilson, of Minneapolis, as his associates in the legal light the State will make against the consolidation of the Great Northern, Northern Pacific and Rurlington roads. Mr. Munn is one of the leading members of the Ramsay county bar. General Wilson was former attorney general of the State and is now a member of the State Senate. He helped frame the Constitution of the State, and is one of the oldest practicing attorneys in Minnesota. Roth of General Douglas's associates are experts in constitutional and corporation law. Ait Attorney C'enern Pa Opinion. OLYMPIA, Wis., Dec. 23. Attorney General Stratton to-day handed down a sevenpage opinion on the Northern Securities Company. The situation is briefly summed up in the closing paragraph as follows: "I am of opinion, from an examination of the authorities, that, without further legislative enactment, the State, through its attorney general, may maintain proceedings in court to protect its people against trusts and monopolies and unlawful combinations, either under the constitutional provisions prohibiting them, or under the comomn law. While the law is thus clear, facts which I have been able to gather are so few and the real transaction so little known that it is not possible for me to say at this time whether the facts exist on which a suit could be successfully maintained by the State." NV111 Not Heed Hill's Letter. ST. PAUL, Dec. 23. Attorney General W. R. Douglas, in an interview, states that the published letter of J. J. Hill, In explanation of recent transactions in the stocks of Western railroads and the purposes of the Northern Securities Company, would not in any way influence the action which has btxn contemplated by the state officers of Minnesota. General Douglas declined to discuss the subject matter of the letter at this time. INJUNCTION DISSOLVED. Northern Pacific 3Iny Retire Its Preferred Stock on Jan. 1. NEW Y'ORK, Dec. 23. Justice Scott, In the Supreme Court, to-day dissolved the injunction obtained by Wolff Rros. and others restraining the Northern TacHic Railway from retiring the preferred stock of $73,000,000 on Jan. 1. Justice Scott sajs the company had the positive right, at its option, to retire the preferred stock at par, and that its directors were authorized to exercise that option on behalf of the corporation. He added: "The plaintiffs have no concern with what may be done with the stock of the company after the preferred shares have been retired, or in consequence of such retirement, nor are they in a position to question the manner in which the company proposes to raise the money to retire their shares so long as they are assured of the par value thereof. Even if the defendant's right to retire- the plaintiffs' stock was less clear than I deem it to be, I still' hesitate to permit the temporary injunction to stand. The plaintiffs, though holding preferred stock to a consiuerable amount, really held but a small percentage of this class of stock, and, of course a much smaller percentage of the capital stock of the company. The claim is that they are entitled to an opportunity to subscribe for the convertible certificates representing common stock to be issued in place of the preferred stock. Upon what that claim is based Is not made very apparent, but assuming that It is well founded, no reason is suggested why they cannot be fully -and amply compensates, in an action for damages for the denial of their assumed rights." GEN. ALGER IS CHEERFUL. His Pulse "Was 7(1 and Ills Temperature Less Than DKi Last Night. DETROIT, Mich., Dec. 23. Dr. Longyear, attending surgeon on Gen. R. A.

At 11 p. rn. the following bulletin was given out by the surgeons attending Gen. Alger: "General Alger's condition is favorable; pulse. 7J; temperature, ly.S; spirits good and he is suffering less pain than at any time since the operation was performed." Gen.
