RECIPROCITY NTH GERMANY.

The diplomatic correspondence published in
Yesterdays TRIBUNE respecting American COM
mercal relations with Germany disclosed sub
stantial advantages derived from the wise action
of the last Congress. In consequence OF the
Meat Inspection law with IT'S retaliatory clauses
Germany has abolished all determinations against
the importation of American pork based upon
the decree of March g. 1883. AS the result,
moreover, of the Reciprocity amendment arming
the President with power to close the free mar
ket for sugar against those nations which neg
lect to offer compensatory advantages, the United
States is allowed to have an equal share in all
reductions of duties on agricultural products pro-
vided for in the treaties recently negotiated be-
tween Germany and Austria-Iungary Those
treaties if ratified by the Reichstag will 60 into
operation on February /, 1892. After that date
American breadstuffs, meats, butter, lumber and
other agricultural products will be relieved in the
German market of duties to the extent of Is
or 81 1-2 per cent. In return beet-sugar viii
have a free market in the United States. The
commercial arrangements will virtually be lin
tied to twelve years, the period covered by the
Continental treaties.
These results will convince every farmer in
the United States that Congress legislated last
year in such way as TO open foreign markets
for agricultural products In consequence of that
action, and also of the mastery argument made
by the American Minister in Paris against I'M
Just determinations against American meats, not
only Germany, but also France, Austria-Hun-
gary, Italy and Denmark have removed all pro-
hibitions except their tariffs. With Germany
the Mckinley Tariff Act has operated, more
over, so as to provide for the admission of Ameri
can agricultural products on the most favorable
terms. Russia and France are the chief Euro
pean granaries. Germany excludes both coun-
tries from the tariff reductions of 80 per cent
on wheat, rye, flour and other mill products of
grain. These reductions, together with those on
other grains, pork, butter and lumber. will be
of enormous value to the exporting interests of
the United States The free market for sugar
will be in return a compromising advantage for
Germany.
The Reciprocity amendment has already been
applied so as to regulate 70 per cent of the sugar
importations Of the United States. OF these the
Spanish West Indies furnished in 1890 421-2
per cent, Germany 16 per cent, Hawaii IL IL
per cent, and Brazil and San Domingo per
cent. The British West Indies, which supplied
over 10 per cent, will inevitably be compelled
to secure free market for their sugar by Reel
procity negotiations. Neither England nor Can
ada can interpose veto upon policy which is
absolutely necessary for the welfare of tho
Islands. These treaties will undoubtedly b

The disastrous windstorm which has swept
through portions of Southern California seems, as
usual, to have had an especial spite against
churches, and to have visited all denominations
with strict impartiality. But this may be taken
as compliment to the people who erected them
since it indicates that they chose conspicuous
sites for them 1t is reported that two of the
most picturesque of the old missions of South
ern California are seriously damaged--a fact
which, to many enthusiasts of early American
history, will seem misfortune only second to
the destruction of the more modern churches.

Our regular London correspondent in one of
his cable letteis gives an amusing account OF
the perplexities which harass English critics in
commenting on the new Continental ZOllverein.
They are committed to moral support of the
Triple Alliance, and hence cannot condemn
series Of commercial treaties which greatly
strengthen the coalition against Russia and
France. They are also Free Traders, and cannot
support what is distinctivey Protectonist eco
nomic alliance. Altogether they are at their
wits end to know what to say about the mat
er. Our correspondent, who is among the most
consistent and logical Of Protectionsts describes
he Zollverein as marking the closest approach
set made in Europe to the American system.
Germany, Austria-Hungary and Italy do not
hrow down their tariff barriers as the American
States do, but they discriminate heavily in each
others favor, and at the same time protect them
selves collectively against France, Russia and
England. The general effect is to unite CON-
mercialy those States which are already bound
together In military and dynastc alliance. Our
correspondent might have added that the Zoll-

THE PRECIOUS METALS.

Report of Edward o. Leech, Director the
Metals for the Calender Year 1890, To-
getiler with the Coinage Operations Dur
ing the Same Period, Etc.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-Edward O..
Leech, the director of the mint. has sub
nitted to congress report on the pro-
luction of the precious metals for the
calendar year 1890.
Gold produced from United States
mines was 1,5SS, $50 ounces, valued S32,-
$1,000; an increase of S45, 900 over the
product OF the preceding year. The
silver product of our mines approx
mated 1880, 900 ounces, corresponding,
at the average price of silver during the
year, to ST.. 225, 900, and at the coming
value OF silver to $40, AGA, 645, against a
product of 50.000,000 ounces, valued at
s64, AGA. AGA in the preceding year.
The total value of the gold deposited
at the mints during the calendar year
was 56,217.1O5.
The total amount of silver offered for
sale to the government during the year
was GS. $50, 457 ounces, and the amount
purchased 1880, 900 ounces, costing
s39, 991, S40 the average cost being 81. O6
per ounce.
The coinage executed during the last
calendar year was the largest in the
history of the mint service, aggrega-
ting 124, 365 pieces, valued at SOL
O54, So. OF this amount $40, 467, 1872 was
in gold and S3S, O43, O04 in silver There
was, Director Leech says, a marked inn
provement in the price of silver dur
ing the past calendar year, the
price reaching the highest point in
twelve years. The fluctuations covered
a range of 26 per cent, wider range
by far than in any previous year. AT
the commencement of the year silver
was quoted at SO9s per fine ounce. 1t
reached S1-2l in August and closed on
December 81 at S1.O412. The average
price during the year was: In London,
Sl.O4 Clio; in New York, S1.O5.
The amount of precious metals used
in the arts in the United States during
the calendar year was: Gold, SIS, 105,-
$40; silver, 50, 231,17S.
Owing to the brief time since the
close of the last calendar year the sta
tlstics OF the product of gold and silver
in the world by producing countries of
the Gale ldar year, 1890, are not COM
plete. Complete returns. however, have
been received from Russia, Australia,
South Africa, British India, Venezuela
and Wv other countries, based upon
what tt director estimates as mere
approximation that the gold product of
the world for the calendar year 1890
was 81 $685. O0, falling off of IS, co.,
900 fre n 1889. and that the silver prod
yet o. the world was $50, $50. 900 fine
ounces, an increase of 1858, $40 fine
ounces. over 1889. The report is replete
with valuable statistics on the produc-
ton, coinage and movement of the pre-
cious METALS throughout the world.

The G;LA RIVER FLOOD.

1ne Break in the Levee at Yuma, Ariz.,
Eaid the Town Under Water, Causing a
Naes Amount of Damage, Including a
hundred Ruined Houses-One Person
Dro"ned-The People Camped the
Hills.
YUMA. Ariz., Feb. 26.-The work of
strengthening the levee against the
swollen ella river began on the night of
Saturday February u, and was con-
tinued with energy Sunday, all the citi-
zens being pressed into service. The
river continued to rise at the rate of
foot an hour. and it was found neces-
sary to take the convicts fl ON the peni-
Tertiary to assist the workers. 1t
finally became apparent that the levee,
which was old and weak, could not be
strengthened sufficiently to withstand
the river, and the people began moving
their effects to higher ground.
AT + o'clock Sunday afternoon the
levee broke, and in an hour and a half
the town was largely under water.
The hastily-constructede mbankment of
earth and sacks of -four and meal pre-
vented further spread of the waters on
the street, but the Mexican quarter,
covering some hundred acres. was
of falling walls and screams of women
and children. The water was ten feet
deep in some places. Many people had
not time to get out their furniture and
lost everything. Over a hundred houses
Were ruined. An American named Guss
Lee was drowned, but no other loss of
life occurred. The railroad and tele-
graph offices We're flooded out. The
1evee on the Colorado side was cut fin
ally, and the water inside thus kept
from rising.
On Monday morning the water had
fallen two feet. The business houses
destroyed consisted of a machine shop,
saddlery, four saloons. three general
merchandise stores, two drug stores,
Times newspaper, two butcher shops
and Chinese washhouse.
The people are camped on hills and
the United States quartermaster's
buildings have been thrown open.
There is much restitution, but no suf-
fering as yet. there being provisions in
the town sufficient for a week. The
board of trade meeting Monday made
liberal donations for sufferers. A re-
-:ef committee was organized by the
citizens, and at several stores goods are
given TO all applying.

FOR THE NORTH POLE.

Lieutenant Peary, L. $. N, About to I'm
dertake an Expedition to the North Pole
Under Private Auspices-He Will Start
About May L, and will Not be Impeded
by a Big Outfit.
NEW YORK, Feb. 27.-The Herald's
Washington special says: A new polar
expedition will be undertaken by Civil
Engineer Robert f. Peary, of the United
States navy, who has secured leave of
absence for eighteen months with this
object in view. MIR. Peary proposes to
start on his expedition from st. Johns,
n. f., about the first of next May. His
idea is to go as far north as a whaling
steamer will carry him and then strike
for the north pole on foot across
Greenland. He intends to have
as small an accompanying party
as is consistent with absolute ne
cessity. Possibly it may be composed of
not more than four or five natives. and
the baggage and other impedimenta
will be reduced to the lowest also. The
expedition, which has been planned
and arranged by Lieut.. Peary, is
a purely private enterprise, in which
the United States government or
navy department has no part.
1t is understood that whatever
backing Lieut.. Peary will need in order
to carry out his scheme will be guar
anteed to him by some of the geograph-
ical societies of the country. Person
ally Lieut.. Peary is a robust. hearty
young man of 35 years or thereabouts,
and he is physically well equipped for
the ordeal before him. He halls from
Maine, and is at present on duty at the
PHILADELPHIA navy ward,

THE TYPE FOUNDERS.

A Consolidation of All the Vast Type
Founding Interests of the Country in
Progress-A Novel Line of Argument in
Explanation of the Proceeding-Posinga as
Philanthropists.
CHICAGO. Feb. 2s.--After negotiations
which have been pending year or more
the big type foundries of the country
have about effected a consolidation.
The capital involved is reported as So
100000. The principal organizers are
Edward F. c. Young, president of the
First national bank of Jersey City, and
Charles Dehart Brewer, prominent
New York lawyer. The establishment
of uniform prices and the protec-
ton of the printer are said to
be the chief reasons for the consolida-
ton of the thirty odd type foundries.
MacKeller, Smith e Jordan, of Phila-
delphia, the largest firm of type foun-
ders in the United States, are among
the first to put their shoulders to the
wheel. Jas. Congers & Sons, of New
York; Farmer, Little and Co.. of Cincin.
natl, and Palmer & Ray, of San Fran
cisco, are prominently to the fore. The
wholesale cutting of the price of type
has been the rule of late. and owing to
this plants of printers have been de
Ginning in value.
Referring to the matter yesterday
President Brewer of the Union type
foundry, said: THE extremes to which
this price war has brought founders
and printers are such that some remedy
is forced upon us, and while every
foundry, without, exception. refuses to
go into any trust, the harm being done
to printers is on such an enormous
scale that the founders were compelled
to consent to consolidation. This
consent was practically unanimous, as
no founder seemed to wish to bring
about the ruin of his fellows, any more
than he did the credit of the printers"
No date has been fixed for the time
of the consolidation, but the thing is
surely going through, as the written
consent of half of the founders has
already been given. Next month will
probably bring forth the developments.

ANOTHER M'klNlEY.

\ Deal i'm Pacific Mail Laid to Major Me-
Kinley which was Contaminated by An
other of the Name.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-Maj. McKin-
ley's attention was called to story
from New York that Pacific Mail went
up two points on the strength of a re-
port that he had bought l 200 shares,
knowing that the subsidy bill would
pass. Mr. Mckinley made a com
plete denial of the story so far
as it referred to him. The only
foundation for it proved to be
that a broker named Mckinley had
made such purchase. Pacific Mail
has fiuctuated great deal this session
on supposed inside information as to
what congress would do. 1t has gone
from 80 to "a and back again several
times, though usually not more than
two points at a time. Rumors have
been afoat that several congress-
men We're specializing pretty
heavily, but nothing definite has
been developed, though much
has been printed concerning the subsidy
lobby. 1t is not believed that many
congressman have really been engaged
in speculation of this sort if for no other
reason than from the probability that
they would be found out.
