MEETS GERMAN OBJECTIONS.
The New Sugar Schedule VIII Please
Foreign Producers.

WASHINGTON, Aug. I5.-The new tar
iff bill is believed to meet all OF the objec-
tions Of the German government 20 the
provisions Of the sugar schedule in the Nc
Kinley tariff act, IL places all foreign
countries on an equal footing. BY the
Mckinley act an additional duty OF one
tenth Of one cent per pound was levied on
all sugars above Dutch standard when sx-
ported from any country which passes di-
rectly or indirectly a bounty on the expor-
tation Of sugar that may be included in this
grade, which is greater than is paid on
raw sugars OF a lower saccharine strength.
This provision resulted in admitting free
OF the increased duty sugars from several
countries paying indirect bounties because
thsir bounties were greater on lower grades
than on the higher. German and Austro-
Hungarian sugars alone came within this
proyision and hence their protest against
what they termed a discrimination. In the
present bill the words which is greater
than is paid on raw sugars of lower sac
charine strength" are omitted. which leaves
sugars from all foreign countries on exactly
tho same basis.

CLEVELAND TO WILSON.
The President sympathizes Deeply
with the yfrginian.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 15.-The President
has written letter 10 Chairman Wilson
the outcome OF the tariff battle IL
is personal letter. devoted largely TO
expressions OF regard for the gallant
fight Mr.. Wilson made under these cir
cumstances. Ii will not be made public,
nor would any reference whatever TO IL
be allowed had not some OF Mr.. Wilson's
friends Inadvertently disclosed the fact.
The letter is four Dages IN length and Is
IN the Presidents handwriting throughout
IL was written Monday morning as Sooh
as the President received the bulletin say
ing that the House had determined 10
recede from its disagreement and accept
the Senate bill. Its TRANSMISSION 10 Mr.
Wilson was delayed until late in the day
and the messenger of the White House
handed IL 10, him only few minutes after
Mondey evening.
The Presidents letter speaks feelingly
of Mr. Wilson's heroic devotion 10 the
tariff reform fight and TO his unselfsh
carry out the principles OF the party.
IL does not discuss the tarin question,
except in the indirect way of expressing
deep sympathy and regret for the personal
reverse met by Mr.. Wilson.
Mr. Wilson came 10 the House at noon
for the first time since the tariff contest
ended Monday night. He expressed much
displeasure at the fact that the private let
ter OF the President to him had been re-
ferred 10 publicly. He declined 10 allow
its publication or to speak Of its details
1t had been mentioned in company OF
gentlemen. including Representative Dun
ply, of New York and the latter had, IN
turn. injudiciously mentioned the fact Mr..
Dunphy to-day expressed his regret that
the matter had gained publicity.

IL is stated with positiveness by members
OF Congress and others who stand closest

veto the tariff bill They do not say ne has
told them 50. but they say he talks In a
way 10 make a veto out OF the question.
They say the only doubt remaining is as
TO whether the bill will become a law by
the Presidents signature will go into
effect by limitation without his signature.
On this question those best informed say
there is nothing definite, the only positive
point in their judgment being that the bill
will not be vetoed.

Tansy WIN Drive ON, Moths.

"There is one sure preventive of
moths. 1t Is tansy," says sorrespon-
dent. Sprinkle the leaves frssly about
your woolens and furs and the moth
will never get into them. When 1 was
a child my grandmother used to send
me to the tansy patch on the hill with
a large basket, in which to bring home
plenty of tansy leaves. In the garnet
were five hair-covered trunks, studded
with brass nails, filed with her best
blankets, fannels, sheets, etc. I re-
member how grandmother took the
extra supply out of those trunk in the
garrett, once year, hung the articles on
a clothesline down in the orchard, beat
them and put away again to lie amid
the tansy leaves until another year.
The fourth generation of her posterity
are sleeping under the same blankets
and coverlets now, which proves the
efficacy of that remedy Of the olden
times. Philadelphia Evening Star.
