Our relations with the republic OF
France continue to be such as should
exist between nations so long bound
together by friendly sympathy and
similarity in their form OF government.

by the senate and house Of representa-

Germany.
Acting upon the reported discovery
OF Texas fever In cargoes OF American
cattle. the German prohibition againsf
/ importativns of 1--we stock and fresh
meats from this country has been re-
vlved. II is hoped that Germany will
soon become convinced that the inhi-
bition is as needless as II is harmful
to mutual Interests.
The German government has pro-
tested against that provision of the
customs tariff act which imposes n
discriminating duty of one tenth OF one
cent pound on sugars coming from
countries paying an export bounty
thereon, claiming that the exaction Of
such duty is in contravention of arti-
Giles five and nine OF the treaty of ISIS
with Prussia. In the interests OF the
commerce OF both countries and TO
avaid even the accusation OF treaty
violation recommend the repeal OF so
much of the statute as imposes that
duty and invite attention to the
accompanying report of the secretary
Of state containing q discussion of the
questions raised by the German pro-
tests.
