DUTIES ON AMERICAN TOBACCO BY
THE GERMAN STATES.

1t appears from the correspondence called for by the
Senate between the American Minister at Berlin, and
the authorities of the Prusslan Government that no
modification of the existing duties levied on American
Tobacco in the German States of the Custom Union
is likely Immediately to take place The present duty
on our Tobacco is enormously high-being 1923 on
the 100 lbs. The policy of reducing this duty was
strongly urged by our Minister and agent. What
we demanded says Mr.. Wheaton, was, such ge-
neral reduction Of the duty on the importation of all
foreign manufactured Tobacco into the States OF the
Gefmanic Confederation of Commerce and Customs,
as would have the incidental effect of counteracting
the una, oable operation of the present duty on To-
bacco in leaves and stems produced in the U. b, In
comparison Nth its operation upon the more valuable
qualities of leaf Tobacco, imported from the Spanish
colonies and the South American States. 1t was up
on the same grounds that we had proposed discrim-
nation between leaves and stems" Mr. Kuhlmeyer
Director General of the Prussian Customs, admitted
that he should have hesitation if called upon to give
it his opinion considering the question in finan
cal point OF vew that considerable reduction OF the
present duty foreign Tobaccoes might be made,
without any injury to the of the Association.
Mr.. Wheaton adds
Z" Mr.. Kuhmeycr concluded the conversation by
remarking that no change would be made in the exist,
Ing tariff Of the association during the present year,
Gun css under some special diplomatic arrangement
with foreign powers,) the tariff being already settled
for the years 1870 lo1l, and 1912 and the general
trennia revision being take place at the next Con
uress which is meet at Stuttard the capital OF the
kingdom of w urtemburg, in June, 1912. He had,
however, ascertaned during the present session of
Congress ut Berlin, that the commissioners from the
southern States OF Germany, supposed to be most IN
tete.lid the cultivation of the native plant had no
insuperabIe objections a reduction of the duty, IT It
could he hown that would be attended with an in2
crese ot revenue and especially II il could be ancl-
aed that equivalent advantages would he thereby OBJ
tanned for their products and manufactures, IN the
transatlantic markets The foreign Tobacco, he said,
was principally required by these States to mix with
the nattre and they would be willing to take larger
qGantlty Of North American, as 1t would not inJufc
the cultivation of the native plant"

TO THE HON DANIEL WEBSTER, SECRE-
TARY OF STATE

Sir - hasten TO make known to the Government
of the United States of America fact of a serious
character and highly interesting to the national dig
nifty of the country.
The Bishop of Detroit Michigan, Mr.. REESE, an
American citizen, is confined in dungeon of Rome
without communication with any living person, and
consequently without the knowledge of the American
Minister resident here-a target for the blacklist
lumnies, and victim of the most atrocous persecu-
tons from his colleagues here in religious matters, he
summoned TO Rome tow ards the end of 1888, if |
not mistaken; and in 1889 when made his
qualntance he confined in Convent under an
eccleslastic prosecution On the process being com
peted, he ordered to resign. This he refused to
do; and then he was thrown into dungeon, perhaps
of the lnqusition, where three other Bishops are y-
ing. There he is overw hemed with sufferings, and
tortured to obge him to resign and all possible mea-
were taken to prevent him from invoking the
protection of diplomatic agents of his country
similar case had happened TO the Bishop of Phila-
delphia Mr.. Conwell. But this prelate, whilst in the
same position of Mr. REESE, was fortunate enough to
make his escape from Rome and, arrested in Paris,
under Charles the Xh by order of the Pope, sci
at liberty through the intervention of the American
Minister.
Thinking that the Government of the United
States to look upon their citizens under reli-
gous aspect, but merely free citizens of this Union,
could scarcely believe but that, in consequence OF
this disclosure, ready and efiicacous steps will be
taken cause the Papal Government be called to
account for such scandalous abuse of its spiritual
power have the honor to be
