GETTING FRESH,
Germany VIII Be Reminded
of That Fact.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2r - Indications
multiply TO show that the German gov
ernment as pursuing repressiye policy
toward importations from the United
states, that may in the end call for
retaliation. The latest evidence IL con-
tained In report to the State department
from United States Consul Robertson at
Hamburg. He says that movement
IN on foot by the Imperial Government
looking TO the complete exclusion OF dried
and eyaporated apples from the United
States, which are found to contain more
than specified amount OF zinc sup
posed to have been taken up from the
zinc frame on which the fruit is dried.
As result the trade would severely suf-
fer. The consul suggests that fruit
dryers change methods and use wooden
frames, es il Is all import
ant that articles sent from the United
States to Germany should be prepared in
every direction SO as 10 offer no grounds
FOR complaint on the part OF either Ger
man or connecting leaders, such as might
be justly and successfully used to iDjure
or destroy our trade. AT the same time,
the consul does not admit, without
further proof, the full extent,
by any means, OF the alleged
well-adverrised defect In our products
that are being claimed in Germany.
He feels convinced that our Govern
ment, upon the proper representations,
will take all necessary steps TO protect the
healthful and unadulterated wares
OF our exporters from unfair
and unreasonable interference when
offered for sale in the markets
in Germany, and that IL will use every
means in it's power TO bring it about that
any restrictions imposed upon them are
such as are actually justifiable from a sani-
tary standpoint and not merely arbitrary,
and applied TO similar articles when inn
ported as well from another country than
the United States.
Closures sent with the report from our
consular agencies show that the discredit-
ing attacks made in the German papers on
American products have extended 10 AM
erican SEEDS, clover, timothy, etc., which
are supposed To have been adulterated
and worthless.
The same consul transmits a complaint
from an importing merchant in Ham
burg against the requirement that all
American small arms shall be submitted
TO government test and proof before sale.

SHABBY TREATMENT.
The Officers Of the Detroit Complain
OF Spanish Hospitality.

MADRID, Nov. 21.-It seems that the
officers OF the Detroit have met with
rather shabby treatment at the hands of
the Spanish government, in spite of
Madrid government assertions to the con-
trary. Commander William III. Brown
son ofthe Detroit, waited at Cadiz for a
day while the Government decided upon
the conveyance OF the Columbus relics TO
Madrid. At the end OF that time COM
mander Brownson had not received the
slightest reply to his communication on
the subject and not the slightest notice
bad been taken of it. The commander
thereupon decided TO deliver the relics
himself and cabled TO Washington for in
structions. The military authorities OF
the port permitted the landing OF the
cases and their escort, nine off,
GERS and II marines To this force
the Spanish authorities adds a body Of
native trooys, but the commander OF the
Detroit and the secretary OF the United
States Legation bad to buy railroad
tickeets for the whole escort. which
amounted 10 an expenditure oi $500.

soiled parts. Rub lightly and evenly, not
SO as to wet the kid through, but cover

no dividing line between the part that is
wet and that which is dry and unneoes-
sary TO clean, the naphtha must be rubbed
down with long, light strokes. Then,
when Ii has all dried, no stainlike mark

glove at time. 1t dries quickly and must
not bepu off the hand until the kid scems
