GERMAN SALT DUTIABLE.
The Attorney Generals Opinion Rel
ative to the Favored Nation Clause.

Attorney General Olney, in response to a
request from the Secretary of the Treas
ury, has rendered an important opinion in
volving an Interpretation of the most ia
vored nation" clause in the treaty between
the United States and Prussia. The Qucs-
ton which was propounded to the Attorney
General was whether salt imported from
the empire of Germany is dutiable under
paragraph Cos Of the new tariff act, which
provides that If salt is imported from any
country, whether Independent or de-
tendency, which imposes a duty upon salt
exported from the United States, then
there shall be levied upon such salt the
rate of duty existing prior to the passage
of the act
AS Germany imposes a duty upon salt
exported from the United States, German
salt is apparently subject to the proviso
just quoted. The German ambassador,
however, claims 1t Is entitled to come into
the United States free on two grounds, one
of which is the most favored nation
clause" embodied In the provisions of the
treaty of 1928 between the United States
and Prussia. 1t is assumed, says the At
torney General, for present purposes, that
the treaty of 1923 binds the United States
as regards all the constituent parts of the
German empire and the claim of the Ger
man ambassador. founded upon this clause
must be pronounced untenable
The United States comedies free salt to
any nation which comedies free salt to the
United States. Germany, of course, Is en-
titled to that concession upon returning
the same equivalent, but otherwise she is
not so entitled, and there is nothing in the
most favored clause which compels the
United States to discriminate against other
nations and in favor of Germany by grant
ing gratuitously to the latter privileges
which IT grants to the former only upon
the payment of a stipulated price, Then,
again. the tariff act Is a statute later than
the treaty, and so far as is consistent with
it, Is controlling. AS at present advised
therefore, the Attorney General holds that
salt imported from Germany is legally
dutiable

APPROPRIATIONS COMMITTEE.
The District subcommittee and Three
Others to Meet.

Others to Meet.
Chairman Sayers of the House committee
on appropriations has telegraphed the
clerk of that committee that he will ar
rive in Washington on the 10th of this
month, with the view of getting the ap-
preparation bills under way as tar as pos
sible before Congress convenes on the Sd
OF December. The three months session
never affords any too much time for the
consideration of these necessary measures,
and there is especial reason for expedition
In the preparation of the bills for the ap-
preaching session, owing to the probability
Of the loss OF much time in chafiing over
the late elections.
The democrats expect a good deal of this
from the republicans, and naturally desire
to be able to forestall it with business as
far as they are able to do so. Appropria-
tion bills always have right of way, and
can be used at any time by the majority
to displace a disagreeabIe or frivilous
question. The estimates for only three of
these bills. the ADistrict of Columbia, the
fortlfcations and pension bills have so
far been furnished, but il is understood
that other estimates will follow soon, and
that by the time these shall have been dis
posed of by the committee other bills will
be ready for its consideration.
The subcommittees which have these
three bills to deal with have been sum-
moned by the clerk in. obedience to Mr.
Sayer's instructions to meet On the I'D
instant. There have been no changes I'm
the membership of any of these subcom-
mittees, except in that on the District of
Columbia. A rearrangement of this sub
committee has been neCessitated by the
retirement of Mr.. Compton, who was its
former chairman. Representative Will
hams OF Illinois, who formerly held third
place on the subcommittee has been ad-
Vanced to the chairmauShiD Mr. Dockery

CHINA APOLOGIZED.
Waited Until the Last Moment Before
Yielding to England's Demands.

Waited Until the Last Moment Before
Yielding to England's Demands.
TIEN TSIN, November l.-The officials
Of the Chinese government this morning
made the apologies demanded by the Brit
ish government officials for the outrage
committed by Chinese soldiers on board
the British steamer Chung King in August
last. The Chung King was saluted by the
guns of the Taku forts and the required
apology was made to the British minister.
On November @ last dispatch from
Shanghai to the Associated Press an
nounced that an ultimatum had been sent
to the viceroy regarding the Chung King
affair. 1t demanded that within seven days
the Taotai, Sheng, be dismissed and de-
graded, that the Chung King be saluted
with twenty-one guns from the Taku forts
and that a money indemnity be paid to the
owners of the Chung King.
If these demands were not compiled with
within the specified time the British Of
command of Admiral Freemantle would
make reprisals, and it was believed that
steps had been taken to occupy the import
ant island of Chusan, which commands the
line of communication by sea between the
northern and southern provinces of China.
The British occupied this island in 1S41
during the first war between China and
England. Eventually the Chinese govern
ment succeeded in recovering Chusan by
giving up Hong Kong in exchange.

THE CALAMITY CRY.
Congressman baldwin Says 1t De-
cfded the Election

SohSressnhuh baiu"1n says 1t De-
cfded the Election.
Congressman Baldwin Of Minnesota is In
the city, having arrived from Duluth last
night. Maj. Baldwin Is a democrat, one
of the few now extant in his district, most
Of the others having disappeared since the
election of 1892, when there were 1887 in
his district, according to the official re-
turns.
'Oh, know what you are going to ask"
said Mai. Baldwin today when he saw The
Star man coming, you want to know how
1t happened? We'll, I'll tell you; ii was the
calamity cry. The people were having hard
times and they blamed us for the condi-
tions. Up In the iron mines they told the
workmen that If the democrats came into
power the mines would be closed or wages
reduced, but that If the republicans should
win the mines would be worked and wages
increased. The miners believed the state
nent and voted accordingly. Forty per
cent Of mat mining vote Is Catholic, ana
yet they walked up and voted for an A.
L. A. man Tor the reason given above.
Nothing else could have induced them to
do that.
did We sec tho change coming? Not a
bit Of 1t. / as never more certain of any
thing in my life than of my reelection.
There was no indication of the dissatisfac-
ton which manifested itself on election
day. Men who had kept their intentions
to themselves just walked up to the polls
and secretly cast their votes for the re-
publicans and quieted their conscience with
the plea that as hard times were so bad,
and the democrats said to be responsible
for the condition they would vote for the
republicans for luck and see II 1t would
bring the relief promised"

Prince Kung has assumed the supreme
direction of military operations. Prince

The foreign ministers in Pekin will have
an audience on Thursday with the emperor
inside the palace.
Viceroy Li-Hung- Chang, In speaking to a
visitor lately, expressed his readiness to
Japanese commander-in-chief, in order to
open pourparlers with him.
Another Blow at VicerOy Lii.
The announcement that Prince Kung has
been invested with the supreme direction
of the military operations against japan
marks another step in an important trans
formation which the war has brought about
In exalted administrative circles In China.
For some time past the Pekin government
has been assuming that complete Initiative

ercised at Tien-Tsin by the Viceroy Lii
Hung Chang.
When Prince Kung was brought back
from retirement and disgrace a short time
ago. he was appointed co-director with Lii
Hung Chang of the war arrangements. But
this was only the thin edge of the wedge.
1t was evidently the emperor's intention to

Result of Mr.. Curtis Mission.

Result MF. CuFt1s M1Ss1On.
Assistant Secretary Curtis, who has been
in consultation with the moneyed men Of
New York for several days past, returned
to the city this morning, and reported the
result OF his mission to Secretary Carlisle
He is enthusiastic over the situation, and
is confident that the action of the depart
ment will have a most beneficial effect on
the general business of the country. In
conversation with Star reporter he said
there will be no difficulty whatever in
floating the loan, and at better rates than
before. In his opinion, the loan will be
oversubscribed, and at liberal rates. When
the bonds were issued in February last
he said, there was general feeling of
distrust, and the conditions were generally
unfavorable. Now, however, there is a
feeling OF confidence in the market, with
every indication Of Improvement In the
future. He regarded the conditions as
highly favorable for the success of the
present plan for replenishing the govern
ment gold balance and a resumption of
business prosperity. the latter being a
people in the stability of the national
financial system.
What Bankers Say.
Mr.. j. A. Stewart. president of the Unit
ed States Trust Company, who has prom
ised his cooperation in floating the loan,
is quoted as having said:
"The government can borrow all the
money it wants at 3 per cent, and it won't
have to pay any more. The other 3 per
cent bonds are selling today at less than
that Why, there arc Inquiries today from
Europe for the bonds, and they can all be
sold there and the geld brought to this
county for per cent"
President F. ID. Tsppen of the Galatin
Bank of New York has intimated that the
entire issue had practically been subscrlb-
ed for by a syndicate composed largely Of
foreign bankers, although nothing more
than an understanding existed. The sale
of the bonds would probably lower the
rate of exchange, anG bring some gold
from Europe, which would replace the gold
yielded by the banks to pay for the bonds

sODEN FAVORs EIGHT CLUBS.
The Annual Convention of the Ma
tiOnal Base Ball League.

1Onal Base Hall League.
NEW YORK, November 14-The annual
convention of the National Base Ball
League was opened at the Fifth Avenue
Hotel today.
From present Indications little more than
routine business will be transacted at the
meeting, with the exception of the pre-
sentation of the pennant TO the Baltimore
club. No motion reducing the circuit from
twelve to eight clubs will be dealt with at
today's meeting, but 1t may come up to-
morrow.
A. II. Soden denies the accuracy Of
statement attributed to him in a morning
paper as to the admittance of Al. johnson,
now of Allentown, but formerly of Cleve-
land.
What did say said Mr.. Soden, "was
that while there was not even a likelihood
of Mr.. Johnson being invited into the
league, If he bought an interest in any
league club he would be welcome. / am in
favor of an eight-club league as against
twelve-club one, but think 1t a matter of
far more Importance to have harmonious
action among our clubs than anything
else"
On the presenta tion of the pennant it is
likely a warm discussion will take place as
to the advisability of first and second
clubs playing for the Temple cup

No Delay I'm Printing Them.

The new bonds will be identical to those
issued In February last, inclusive of date
but will contain three less coupons, as
the interest on them begins November
instead of at February 1. as in the case of
the others. Consequently the same plates
will be used for printing the new bonds
ana there Will be no delay whatever on
that score. lnasmuch as the offers will
not be finally considered until November
"a, 1t is not likely that the principal bids
will be submitted much before that date
inasmuch as the holders will want the ad-
vantage of the latest information as to the
state of the money market before finally
deciding upon the terms of their bids

Is said that Secretary Carlisle has fixed
upon an upset price of $117 DOB the same
