Germany said to Have Ofered "a Brlbe 60
Have tho Reciprocity Treaty with san
Domingo Annuiled
New YORK, Oct A curious story
about the United States and reciprocity
was put in circulationin this city yester-
day. The governments Of Great Britain,
Germany and Italy, so the story ran, had
observed with a burning jealousy tho
great advantages which the Americans
were reaping from the reciprocity treaty
with San Domingo, and had entered
into a common conspiracy TO destroy
that treaty.
just what part Great Britain and
Italy had taken or were to take in these
maneuyers was not quite plain in
the story as it was given out but
the deeds of Germany were indisputa-
bly, set forth. Germany, 1t appeared,
had offered TO Ulises lieureauN presi.

Of $4,000 for life if he would declare

from San Domingo that are or may be
extended TO the most favored nation.
That being the case, San Domingo
was naturally alarmed The attitude
of Germany was especially dangerous,
as our tobacco trade Is with Humburg,
where we were threatened with duty
that would have been fatal to our bust
ness. For England and Italy we did

United States would reimpose the

A SCHEME THAT FAILED.

OMAHA, Neb., Oct 4.-The bolC
scheme of several farmers to change
the course Of the Missouri river by
ditching across the narrows at Belle
view, Neb, where the river describes
four-fifths Of circle, and thereby en-
rich themselves by the law Of accre-
ton, because of the land that
would change to the Iowa side
when the river changed its channel,
has failed. c p benjamin, of this
city, got an inlSling of the work and in
vestigated. The result was an injunc-
tion and a sudden stoppage Of the work.
Had the ditch been completed 5000
acres of land would have changed
ownership and scores of families living
on the line would undoubtedly have
perished when the river rushed through.
