Germany and the sugar Duty.


WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-The report of
the secretary of state mentioned in the
presidents message upon Germany's
protest against the discriminating duty
OF one-tenth of cent per pound on sugar
coming from countries paying an export
bounty thereon, was transmitted to con-
gress today. Gresham says the protest
is based upon the fact that such meas
ure could not be reconciled with the
most favored nation clause, and adds,
the German ambassador says
''The granting of an export duty is a
domestic affair of Germany. An intent
not to fulfil its treaty stipulations based
upon the most favored nation clause
cannot therefore be inferred from this by
any other country" He declares that
"the interview which has been mani
tested by the legislative bodies of the
United States would render the effects of
the most favored nation clause illusory."
Gresham contends that the payment
by country of bounty on the exporta-
ton of an article of its produce or manu-
facture for4the purpose of encouraging
domestic industry can no more be con-
sidered as discrimination than can the
imposition of practically prohibitive
duty on the Importation of articles of a
foreign country for the same purpose be
so considered.

HIROSHIMA, Dec. 5.-A dispatch from
Field Marshal Yamagata, dated Antong,
December 8, says the Japanese scouting
party sent in the direction of Ling
Shang Kwang engaged the Chinese out
posts on the summit of Molten Ling.
November 10Th. One Japanese soldier
was killed and three wounded. The
scouting party was reinforced, and oc-
cupied position at Sokako, where it
was attacked by the enemy in large
force. Over forty Japanese were killed.
A company of infantry sent to recon-
noitre Kwan Tien and Salbarhu was at
tackled by large force of Chinese No
vember goth, at Tascowan and compelled
to retreat, with the loss of several killed.
Field Marshal Yamagata adds measures
have been taken TO clear the country
around Kwan Tien and Saibarhu. De-
tachments under General Tachimi and
Colonel Nissynia have reached their des-
tinations, after slight resistance. They
attacked the enemy at Saikabon, No.
vember 23d, and compelled the Chinese
troops to retire. Two detachments are

As a remedy for all forms of headache
Electric Bitters has proved to be the
very best. 1t effects permanent cure
and the most dreaded habitual sick
headaches yield to its influence. We
urge all who are afflicted to procure a

INTERESTING STATISTICS.
SYNOPSIS of the Annual Report of
Engineer Haynes to the
B. of p. w.

City Engineer Haynes has complet-
ed his annual report for the year 1893,
and it has just been published in
pamphlet form by the FREE PRESS
PRINTING Co. 1t is very complete
exposition of the work of his depart
ment during the year, and contains
much valuable information.
SEWERS.
Under this head Mr.. Haynes states
that the only sewer laid during the
year was that which the Normal
school authorities laid, comprising
27S feet of eight inch pipe on Fifth
street, with temporary connection on
Hickory street with the court house
sewer. He says that the Catholic
school on Fifth street is in greater
need of sewerage at present than any
of our public institutions, and urges
the growing need OF sewerage for the
brewery, all Of which the extention
of the Fifth street sewer would accom-
modate, He continues: 1.-THE Wig
orous policy of the Board of Health
has resulted in large number of con-
nections being made with the sewers
this season."
The following summary is given:

allow the supplying the city by di-
rect pumping at low pressure. He be
ewes that the pressure on the mains
is now too great. Progress has been
made in checking water waste by con-
sumers, though much remains to be
done. The daily average consump-
tion per capita is now IS gallons,
which is about the average of many of
the larger cities.
The water bonds aggregate SS7 900,
upon which there is an annual interest
of 81, S45. The operating expenses of
che pumping station are 81, $50 81. di-
yided as follows: Salaries, ST 1852; fuel,
81. 525 3S; supplies and repairs, 1851 SO.
The cost of maintenance and repairs
on the system is 1868 35, making the
total annual costof the system $40, Alb
sc. To balance this are water rents,
S. 1921; water for street sprink-
ling, S1,152; 81 hydrants at S35
per annum, 1920; total,
$l0,263. The revenue from the five
cents per foot tax where mains are
laid is S2,7l4
The summary Of mains laid is as
follows:

SAMPLE OF BRICK PAVING
STREET IMPROVEMENTS.

The street Improvements during the
year were as follows:
Silver Ravine Road completed at a
cost of 81, 692 40, of which 1886 is met
by private subscription.
GlenwUod avenue and arch culvert
at Warren's creek, completed, 81,
4276O. Besides this, $1,000 was ex-
pended by the county in graveling the
street from the railroad track to Beach
street.
n. Front street has been graveled
from Vine to Lime streets, dis
lance of four blocks, the total cost be-
ing SO, 126.25.
A bridge has been built on War
rem creek at Poplar street, at a cost
of S162.

PUMPING STATION.
The record Of the daily service OF
the pumping station is given, begin.

with December, 1898. The summary
of this is as follows:

largely in excess of the cost. 1t would
doubtless be quite heavy burden up
on our citizens to meet the entire cost
of the improvement next season, but
this can be avoided.
.ln other cities iG is the custom to
provide for the payment of paving 10
five to seven inStalImentS extending
over as many years, and in some cases
a longer period, at the option OF the
lot owner. This would remove the
objection which many urge to doing
the work during the present financial
Stringency.
Il have heretofore favored the use
Of brick as paving material, and my
observations and the reports L have
secured during the year have furnish
ed further evidence Of the value and
cheapness Of brick for paving.
"Grtat care must be exercised in
buying and in the laying and inspec-
tion on the ground. Nearly all fail
ures in brick pavement, which have
been reported, have resulted from
using cheap and inferior brick.
"The cost of paving varies with the
cost of material and labor, and more
especially with the manner in which
courses, etc.
:'Winona has about Sl1S.000 expend-
ed in brick pavementS the past season,
and the cost, exclusive of curb and
gutter, was 81 IA per square yard, which
is low figure, due to favorable con-
ditiOnS in the way OF foundation and
low freightS
sit has been suggested that we use
our own stone for curb and about 81
feet Of street ad Joining, and this would
leave24 yards of paving to each llDeal
foot on both sides of the street TO be
assessed to abutting property.
The cost of curb and gutter men
toned, would be about oDe dollar per
lineal foot, leaving the cost Of paving
approximately at So 60 to $3.50 per
| foot"
WATERWORKS.
During the present season there has
been laid 1920 feet of six inch mains
on Second, Vine and Jackson streets,
with three hydrants and two main
valves. There has been a marked in
crease in the number of taps, and
there are now $40 consumers 90 the

1,500, 900 gallons capacity has been pur-
chased, at cost of ST. $50, and is de.

STREET LIGHTING.

f. J. Cram, of Minneapolis, general
agent of the Electrical Engineering
Co., is in the city looking oyer the
ground preparatory to submitting a
bid on the street lighting. He stated
to a FREE PRESS reporter
that he had recently returned from a
trip to the coast, and seeing the ad-
vertiSement for bids had concluded to
come to this city. His company will
put in bids for lighting Winona's
streets, and also for furnishing plant
for the city. The Winona bids will be
opened Feb. 11th, and they will be OF
value to our own council in determin-
ing what may be considered to be a
fair price for street lighting. 1.-The
Winona plant, if the city puts in one, p"
said Mr.. Cram, twill be operated from
the pumping station, near the river,
the same as the one in St. Peter and
as might be done in this CITY," Mr..
Cram thought that Winona would

than $4,000, to furnish some 250 arc
lights. He thought that plant could
be put in in Mankato at less than
$4,000. Speaking of lights, Mr.. Cram
said: "The council here should not
bother with incandescent lights, but
use only arc lights, as they give so
much more light. Arc lamps of 1000
candle power should give that much
power if kept clean and well cared
for, but otherwise there will be con-
siderable loss Of light. 1t is possible
by readiustiDg machinery at the plant
to reduce the power, but this is sci,
ucm done. BY running the electric
light plant in connection with the
wae r works plant city can do its
lighting more cheaply than private
corporation can. Several cities that
We have supplied with plants are pay
ing for their street lighting from the
income from the commercial use oil
electricity"
