GERMANY'S FAIR
TO BIB HELD TaRH2 YEARS AFTER OII1AGGS
BX5lBITION.
One Of tina Projectors Says They Will Have No
Humbug No Rfol Tower, But i: Will Be
Business From the Word Ga-Ger-
many's Feeling Against Amsrics.

BERLIN, June 16.-With reference to
the proposed German Worlds Fair to
be held in 1896, which has already been
mentioned in these dispatches, the Asso-
ciated Press CORES pondent asked the
views of Mr.. Werner Won SiemenS. the
great electrician, who is leading men,
Der OF the Fair Committee. Mr.. Won
Simens said the year 1896 had been fixed
for the exhibition so as to not follow too
closely the Chicago Exhibition. While
it was yet too early TO say anything posi-
tive, Mr.. Won Siemens thought that the
German Government would sustain the
movement and that the exhibition would
take place 1T the time mentioned.
I'VE shall have no hum6ug, no Eiffel
tower, or similar attraction" said the
Privy Counsellor, "but we will make a
solid showing of what we can do in the
way of manufacturing. 1t will be
business affair throughout. We may
meet with some opposition on the part
of France, but aside from her We shall
be sustained by all Europe. The Euro
pean nations are becoming aware that
they must consolidate commercially
as against American aggression.
America is not only shut
ting ont many Of our produces
by prohibitive tariffs, but she also
threatens our trade with the South
American Republics, and even with
Africa and Asia. Your country is
F,I Of t,,ro1 racnurpac apd NV
your enterprise, no less than by your
present policy, you threaten to deprive
US of our foreign trade. Power natu-
rally makes you aggressive, and Europe
must take care Of her interests, or else
she will be pushed to the wall"
do you. then, believe that CONNER
cial war will be pronounced between
the old world and the new world?" the
correspondent asked.
Yes" said Mr.. VonSiemens, ''if you
keep on as you are doing now, we
shall have to 60 to war. We will erect
big fence to keep out your grain,
your cotton, your meat We will re-
taliate. | am not virtually free
trader, but believe in meeting pro-
lection with protection"
Can Europe exist without Ameri-
can grain?"
"Of course she can. We can supply
all our wants from Russia, or India"
"Will Germany be at the Chicago
fair?"
Il do not know as yet. At present
it seems to me folly to exhibit in a
country where people do not buy from
u.s."
This conversation is significant OF the
feeling of fear with which American
enterprise and the present American
policy is regarded in Germany. With
her commerce threatened in Central
and South America. it is only natural
that Germany should show some bitter
ness Of feeling. But on sober reflection
German merchants or manufacturers
will hardly fail TO realize that the best
policy is to keep on friendly terms with
America, rather than to provoke even
more restrictive measures.

ROANE COUNTY's BONDS.

The controversy that has arisen be-
tween the Sheriff of Roane county on
the one side, and the bondholders on
the other, as to where the coupons OF
the Roane county bonds shall be de-
posted for payment, is very unfortun-
ate, not only for the credit Of Roane
county, but for other counties in the
State which contemplate the issue OF
bonds TO advance some vital improve
ment. Capital is so fearful and so SEN
sitive about it's investments that
a most trihing matter Is
often apt to make first
class security go a-begging. Want
OF confidence is begot in the character
of the bond by disregard Of business
details which makes it impossible often
to float an excellent security.
In the matter of the Roane county
bonds controversy, an account OF which
appears elsewhere, all know that the
bonds are first class, that the citizens
Of Roane county are not willingly q
party to this trouble and dislike it ex-
ceedingly, and yet the bondholderS will
hold them strictly to account in
the fulfllment of the terms o.
the bonds. And why should
they not? In making their investment,
they see that the State law governing
the issuance of the bonds by the Coun-
ty Court is complied with. They weigh
the resources of the county and conSid-
er carefully the integrity and worth Of
the people. They cannot know how far
the several Sheriffs, who are elected
from time to time, may 60 outside or
beyond the provisions of the contract
in their construction thereof. He is an
executive officer, and is presumed
to execute his duties as laid
down by the County Court. If he does
not do so, remedy through the Courts
must be had. But is not this very
thing what Roane county does not
want? The wrong to the bond-holderS,
who have been compelled to lay out
their money since the first day OF
June, is a small matter as compared to
the hurt done to the credit of the
county.
The REGISTER would be pleased to
hear Sheriff VANDAL's legal reason for
failing to transfer the funds to Park
erSburg in accordance with the printed
instructions on the bonds.

Loantaka Surprjses Them,

SHEEPsHEAD BAY, June 16.-There
were 5000 people present at the Sub
urban to-day. The weather could not
have been improved upon for rae
ing purposes, but it was entirely
too warm for personal comfort. When
the great race came up at the start
Major Domo leaped to the front main
teining this position until within 20
yards Of the finish, when Loantaka, a
40 to shot out, who had been
trailing unconcernedly in the
rear, wresled the lead from
Major Domo, and landed winner by a
length and half in 2:O7, within two
seconds Of Salvatore great record.
Tenny, Riley, Cassius and other favor
ties did not show marker to the rank
outside Of Loantaka's wonderful burst
of speed.

INTERESTING TO NEWSPAPERS.

Judge MCADAM, OF New York, has
especial interest for newspaper men.
An Associated Press dispatch, dated
Wheeling, to the effect that one Vim
CENT A. WICHHs had been lynched for
numbering his Wife in Virginia, was pub
liShed in the New York Tribune several
years ago. 1t turned out to be can
ard. The answer made by the Tribune
in the libel suit which followed was that
during the war WICKER was guerrilla
leader, and was charged with the most
horrible atrocities, and that it was but
natural TO attach credence to the AsSo-
ciated Press dispatch. Judge MCADAM
holds that it is necessary in a libel suit
for the jury to ascertain who the COM
plainant is, where he belongs, and how
much and what kind of character he
has capable Of injury. Mr.. WICHER's
counsel contended that when the alleged
libel was published, the Tribune did not
know exactly the character of the COM
plainant, but the Court maintained that
the defendant in libel suit is entitled
to "a photograph of the truth, which is
available, either in justification or miti-
CATION, so far as the question of damage
is concerned" 1t is but right that such
a distinction should be made in news
paper publications of events which
come to them through properly accred-

A CHICAGO GARD SCANDAL.

While the baccarat scandal was on
everybody's lips, Chicago, not to be be-
hind the times, got up card sensation of
her own. 1t is even more picturesque,
in its way, than the affair at Tranby
Croft, where Sir WILLIAM GoRDoN-CUM-
MING came to grief. The new method
of manipulating cards is, we believe, en-
tirely original with Chicago. Last
week there was meeting of the Board
of County Commissioners in the Worlds
Fair city for the apparently harmless
aud mere routine purpose OF drawing
the twenty-three men who are to serve
on the July grand jury.
The ingenious commissioners hit upon
new card trick, which was duly dis
covered at the close of the drawing.
One of the commissioners thus eX-
planned to the president of the Board
the ingenious manner in which the
cards were manipulated, something
which overShadows Trauby Croft
in ingenuity: Mr.. President, l find
that several of the cards were put
in the hat in bent condition, so
that they would come to the top of the
heap no matter how much the hat was
shaken up. Four of these bent cards
were drawn" That meant that four
jurors had been improperly selected.
Not having Lord CoLERIDGE to guide
them and show them the way to utilize
this card scandal judiciouSly, the Cook
county board INDUCED in a sort of
Donnybrook SQuabble and spoiled the
intended boom. The members called
each other liars and thieves, and some
OF them went so far as to call bent cards
"a damnable practice" One detected
in this card trick, proclaimed that he
was "a decent and honest man." and
that the others were a set Of ScOundrels.
A commissioner naively remarked, 'if
the people set US down as pack OF loaf
erS, l shall not blame them" Chicago
has thus contrived to eclipse the Tranby
Croft scandal in very original way.

ASIMPORrANr TARIFF SUIT.

One of the largest treasury cases ever
tried in the United States is now on at
Philadelphia. 1t is suit brought be-
fore the United States Circuit Court by
Messrs. MEYER & DICKINSON, silk inn
porterS, TO recover duties from the gov
eminent. The ground of the action is
described as follows: According to the
law which went into effect July l, 1883,
certain goods imported as hat trim
mings were to be admitted on duty Of
twenty per cent. al valOrem. A duty
of sixty per cent. was charged by law
on ''all goods, wares and manufactures
of silk, or OF which silk is the cOmpO-
nent material Of chief value The gov
eminent officials, as they acknowledge,
made this charge Of sixty per cent. on
all kinds Of silk goods, whether they
were TO be used in the manufacture of hat
trimmings or not. The importers, OF
course, paid this duty, but under pro-
test, and a great many suits were
brought against the government to re-
cover this amount of duty over twenty
per cent.
The present suit is a test case. Should
it go against the government, vast
number OF importers, from every part
of the country, will Immediately bring
suits on the same grounds, and it is esti-
mated that the government will have to
pay in the end not less than $50, OOO,O OO
The importers depend mainly for sue
cess on blunder in the law, which ex-
presSly stated that hat trimmings
should be admitted at duty Of twenty
per cent. All kinds Of silk can be used
for this purpose. There is a formidable
array OF counsel on either side.
