CARPET SOLDIERS SAD PROSPECT OF CAMPAIGN" IX FINLAND SPREADS DISMAY. Crack Regiments to Hold Down Country Resistance Will Only Be Passive. ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. 20. The threat, enlng situation in Finland has spread dis may in St. Petersburg society, owing to the prospect of the officers of the crack regiments of the guard being called upon to pasa the Winter in the bleak barracks of the cantonments of Finland, instead of participating in the gayeties attendant upon the return of the court to this city. No orders have been Issued for the dis patch of troops to Finland, beyond those already on the way to the grand duchy, according to an officer of the staff, but word has passed to the officers of seven elite regiments to hold themselves ready for a Winter campaign. It is rumored that some of the regiments may leave here next week and will be distributed by detachments in the various towns. A prominent Finnish official said today that open resistance to Russia's demand for an annual military contribution by Finland was entirely out of the question. He believed there would simply be a pass ive refusal to appropriate money for the national defense and that little headway would be made in the collection of the amount until that work was placed In the hands of the Russians. The official considered the annexation of the eastern portion of Viborg province settled, and that this would lead to the general emigration of. Finnish residents to the new frontier.

Their ponies are starved, and they themselves secure on an average but one meal a day. CONDLIN IS BOUND OVER Charge of Attempted Murder Filed Against Him. ABERDEEN. Wash.. Oct. 20. (Special.)

EXCLUSION MAY BE USED President Taft Vested With' Power to Prohibit Importation oI Any1 Article Senator Aldrlrh's As surance Does Not SatUfy. WASHINGTON. Oct. 20. Drastic meas ures, including the exclusion of Importa tions from any country unjustly discrim inating against this country, may be found necessary by the President, should this country adopt retaliatory tariff meaa ures against France. While so far this Government has re ceived no official Information of the In tention of France to operate a maximum tariff against this country upon the ter mination, on October Si. of the com mercial agreement, officials here are will ing to admit that there is some danger of the two countries applying their maxi mum rates against each other. The exclusion power is furnished in section 5 of this tariff act of August 30. 1S10. Tills section empowers the Presi dent, in case American goods are un justly discriminated against by any coun try, absolutely to prohibit the importa tion into the United States from that country of any article he may see lit to name. AI.DKICH ASSURES FOREIGNERS France, Looking Out for Her Own Interests, Reprets Tariff. PARIS, Oct. 20. The exact assurances given by Senator Aldrich during his re cent talks with government officials re garding Franco-American tariff relations and with particular reference to the In terpretation of section two of the now American tariff law, are revealed in a book, out today. M. Cruppl. ex-Minister of Commerce, who favor active French commercial ex pansion, in the book quotes Senator Aldrich as saying that President Taffs Interpretation of "undue discrimination" did not mean that France must neces sarily grant 11 her mlnimums, but only that the treatment of American products "must be reciprocally Just and reason able," and that naturally It was expected that France would give the United States the same treatment as other active com petitors In the matter of French trade. M. Cruppl adds that Senator Aldrich's conciliatory assurances are extremely welcome, but that after all France must first consider her own Interests. M. Cruppl contends that the policy of negotiation Is the commercial policy of the future and regrets that the United States in her splendid isolation, "snaps her fingers at the world."
