BOOST FOR OUR
RUSSIAN TRADE
The Czar's Empire Abrogates
Treaties with Germany and
Austria-Hungary.
U. S. HAS OPPORTUNITY
Can Cement Commercial Relations
with that Country by Forming
Alliance at Once.
Officials here tea In the abolition tor
Russia of the conventional tariff
agreements between herself and Ger
many and Austria-Hungary the pos
sibility of either the greatest blow or
the greatest boom to American trad
with Russia.
Russia's action present to the
United States government ona of the
greatest single trade opportunities It
has ever had. If realized upon prop
erly, American trade with Russia can
be doubled. It Is asserted, while if
advantage la not taken of this oppor
tunity It is predicted that me united
States will be left at a greater dis
advantage than ever before with re
gard to exports to the' territory of the
Czar.
The abolition of the conventional
tariff with Germany and her ally Is
regarded here as but the precursor
to the making of new tariff treaties
between Russia and the other trading
nations. Whether the United States
trade with Russia is to be greatly ex
panded or whether it is to sink Into
inslgniflcnnce depends. It Is asserted,
on whether this government takes ad
vantage of the opportunity and makes
a favorable treaty with Russia. There
is a growing sentiment in the admlnfs-
i tratlon for the making of a com
mercial treaty with Russia, irrespec
ma of the passport question.
Would Hare to Watt far Gains.
Inasmuch as Russia is now importing
practically nothlnc except war mate-
l lials. It is not anticipated that there will
oe any nouceaDie results immediately
from the new tariff. The United States
I enjoyed, despite the abrogation of the

uraij ui ,x, iiiuai ittturm U.&. lull u c&l-
ment with regard to the Russian tariff.
and pending the making of new tariff
treaties will not be any worse off than
anv other country exporting to Russia.
It is reuarded as certain, however, that
Russia will at once begin the negotia
tion of new tariff treaties. England and
France will be granted most favorable
terms.
The State Department Is satisfied that
not for Fenerations. If ever, will Ger
many and Austria again enjoy the par
ticularly favored, tariff treatment ac
corded them bv Russia, and that conse
quently the advantage taken away from
those two countries roust necessarily
pass to others. Officials here believe the
United States also can profit to a great
extent if it will take advantage of the
opportunity now presented by stepping
In and negotiating a trade treaty with
Russia.
PEAISE FOE SALESPEOPLE.

ALLIES USE NORFOLK
AS COAL SUPPLY BASE
Officials Cannot Get Evidence that
Fuel Is Transhipped After
Boats Leave Port.
Collector of Customs Hamilton, at Nor
folk, Va.. sent to tho Treasury Depart'
ment jesterday an explanation of reports
that British steamers have been using
that port as a base for supplying allied
warships with coal.
He said that undoubtedly tho reports
nao resulted from the clearance of the
steamer Arlington Court, which had been
allowed to leave with 850 tons of coal,
some of which was loaded on her decks.
The ship had come from South America
and cleared for Leghorn. Italy. Her
captain explained his request for an ex
traordinary supply of codl on the ground
that it was very difficult to secure fuel
In tho Mediterranean.
While they have no evidence that
ships clearing from United States
ports are transshipping suplles and
fuel to allied warships, officials do not
doubt that .there have been such cases.
Wide opportunity exists for such ac
tion by freight steamers. Inasmuch
as the port officials have no means of
checking up on the cargoes of the
ships after they have arrived in for
eign ports.
Beady to Issue Exposition Coins.
The special gold and silver coins minted

Pacific International Exposition, are

exposition will sell them at double that
value. Congress authorized the minting
of coins of special design to commemorate
the exposition. Coin collectors here have
learned of the following scale of prices:
Hair dollars, Jl each: Jl gold. J2 each: C.S0
gold pieces, $4 each; SM pieces, round or
octagonal, HOO. A complete set. one of
each denomination, will sell for iJOO.
Will Complete Fireproof Work.
An item or JO.yjO. providing for the
completion of the work of replacing the
shelves and galleries of the Smithsonian
building with fireproof material, is con
tained In the sundry civil bill, passed
before the adjournment of Congress.

ITALY WILL GET PART
Antwerp to Become International
' Port Scandinavian Peoples
Will Lose Identity.
London. March SI. A narative by the
official eye-witness, reviewing operations
on the British front up to March 39
jajs:
"During the last few days the quiet
along our front has not been broken by
any event of importance, The weather
has been fine, with sunny days and moon
light nights, but with a keen wind which
has brought the temperature down below
the freezing point.
'On the U5th. portions of our front were
more heavily shelled than usual and op
posite our center German snipers were
active. On the Sth five bombs were
dropped on Estalres by a German aero
plane and one man was wounded. The
:7th was marked by the activity of the
enemya' airmen, who dropped bombs at
Sailly, killing two men. A Zeppelin was
seen at night heading northeastwards.
On the Mth bombs from German aero
planes were dropped on Estalres and
Haze Brouck with small results."
Host Improve frontier.
rolloning his summing up of mili
tary operations, the "eyewitness" says:
"Conversation with captured officers
and the better educated prisoners has
thrown considerable light on the views
of the general situation now held, by
tne uerman army, it Is freely ac
knowledged that Germany started the
war Opinion seems to be divided as
to whether she intended to occupy Bel
gium permanently or not. The belief
Is that she would not have crossed tho
Mcuse if England had remained neutral,
but that she would havo advanced
through South Belgium and Luxemburg.
thinking that Great Britain would have
taken it rlsbt that way.' While It is
maintained that she desired no territory
in Europe not alieady occupied by German-speaking
people, it is admitted that
her strategic frontier in the Vosges must
be Improved.
Will Absorb Austria.
"The most important point In the
views now held ia tho frank admission
that since Austria has failed badly in
the present war and has had to be bol
stered by the armed strength of Ger
many, she must pay for it and will have
to bleed. German prisoners hold that
the Austrian emnlra will rpn in nyfef
and that the Germans will give nway
some or us territory to Italy and include
the German-speaking portion of Austria
in the German empire, and also Luxem
burg.
"The Germans will welcome tho Grand
Duchy of Poland as a buffer between
themselves and Russia. They will in
sist upon Belgium-joining the German
Zollvercln and on Antwerp becoming an
International port. A great central
European confederation of Germanic peo
ples will bo formed, to Include the Scan
dinavians. "Tho Germans look forward to the good
offices of the Pope, though the -necessity
for this Is regretted because it Is not
thought that papal influence Is com
patible with the attainment of Pan;Ger
manic alms.
"These views are based upon Inspired
and highly-colored newspaper accounts
and cleverly edited official communiques."
