GERMANY IS HOSTILE.
Steps Taken to Curtail the Importa-
ton of Another American Pro-
duct.

Washington, Dec. 5. Germany has
taken THE initiative step towards cur
failing the importation of another Amer
dean product in the proposition now be-
fore the Bundesrath, to enormously in
crease the duty on cotton seed oil. The
proposition is to increase the present
duty, which is 81, tp $3.50, equivalent to a
duty of go per cent, and as the propo-
sition us supported by the combined ag-
rarian and protectionist industria par
ties, there can be little doubt that it will
succeed.
The subject is treated at length in a
report to the state department by United
States Consul Merritt. at Bremen. He
says THAI in future cotton seed oil and
OH nuts and seeds will pay a high duty.
The raising of the duty is supported by
the report that its use for food purposes
rose from 142, 900 pounds in 1885 to over
10000 pounds in 1893. BY means OF sim
pie processes Of refining, cotton seed oil
can be turned into sweet oil and IS used
to a great extent in the manufacture OF
artificial butter and also for the coIfserV-
alton of fish.
'All this means in good German says
flhe consul, one pretends TO strike al
cotton SEED Oil and means to strike out
olelomargarine. If officially drugged 50
as to be unfit for itransf ormation into
food, the oil will be admitted ait q much
lower rate. The result will be a conS.d-
cradle rise in the price of the material
for the manufacture of oleomargar1ne
but, unlike our American manurac itur-
erS, the Germans have not succeeded IN
producing the Oil from the seed fit foI
food purposes
The consul marks the progress of this
traffic war in the following significant
paragraph:
II had hoped tt, be able to report thai
there was a sincere desire on the part OF
the German people to join the people OF
the United States in mutual EFFORT foI
the extension of the commerce OF botn
countries but the foregoing, together
with recent edictS against American DSei
would Indicate to a certain extent DIFF
ferent attitude in this country toward
the enlargement of rates of American

Usually school elections here attract
but little attention, because heretofore
they have been non-partisan. The cleo
ton yesterday, however. awakened
considerable interest among the voters
because in each precinct, except the
second, there was partisan fight.
The Republicans worked desperately
AeM day long Their ward men were out
- f5rce, and at each precinct, except
the Second, they kept numerous car
z4ages Oh the go from the time the polls
opened until tb closed.
Mr. Dooly's IA nds had a bad scare
in the Fifth. and very effort was made
10 poll as large a Republican vote as
possible. It was in this precinct that
the only excitement of the day o.
CURED. Some soldiers appeared at the
polls and insisted on voting. j. c,
WINS, the presiding judge, promptly
ruled them out and the incident fur
nished Charles Crane. OF Kanosh, with
an opportunity to make a grand stand
9lay. which he did not neglect. Mr.
Crane was unable to accomplish any
thing. however, and he left disguised.
The result of the voting was the cleo
ton of the Republican candidates in
otle First, Second and Fifth precincts,
NSafle the Democratic candidates were
elected in the Third and Fourth pre-
cincts.
1t will be remembered that some
weeks ago. the Democrats made efforts
to secure a. non-partisan election, and
expressed their willingness to accept
two trustees. allowing the Republicans
tllree thus maintaining the non-parti-
esn character of the school board by
having five Democrats and five Re-
publican members. This offer was
sr4iFnsd by the Republicans and they
laid their plans to capture the city. In
aAiI they failed. and Just what the
Democrats offered in the first place
mas been accomplished.

Lax and Lenient Methods in Treat

Made Complaints VIII Cause the
Trouble.

San Francisco, Dec. 5.-The Pacific
Insurance union, through which the in
surance business of the Pacific coast has
long been controlled. is again in danger
of disruption.
Arthur Z. MsgiM, general agent of the
Phoenix and Home companies, has with
drawn from THE association because of
what he calls its lax and lenienit methods
in treating with members who have
openly violated the rules of the union,
and defied its power to regulate their
business in any way. Two secret meet
ings, both of which We're largely attend
ed, were held here today. It is under
stood that committees were appointed to
wait upon Masill and endeayor to bring
the two influential companies which he
said ito be determined to remain out I'M
less some action shall be taken to dis
cipline the violaltors of the unions by
laws.
