THE GERMAN EMBARGO,
There is No Amelioration as Yet of the
stringent Order.


Stringent Order.
WASHINGTON, December 1S.-In view
OF the dissemination of Congress to take
up the sugar schedules of the tariff and
the consequent improbability of any
such action as was recommended by the
President, looking to the repeal of the
duty of one-tenth of l cent on sugar pro-
duced under the bounty system, the fu-
ture action of the German government
is being awaited with some apprehension
here. The speech of the German Chan
eellor in the Rechstag, in which he
made strong point OF the discrimina-
ton imposed by the United States to-
ward German sugar, is believed to lndl-
cate strengthening OF the policy which
that government has adopted directed 10
the exclusion or severe restriction upon
the American products sought to be I'M
ported into Germany. At present Mr..
Runyon, our Minister to Germany, is
working hard to secure an ameliOratlon
of the stringent order OF exclusion in
the case of American cattle, and Secre-
tarv Gresham is in almost daily consul
tation with the German Minister here
upon the same subject. Up to this time
no appreciate degree OF success has at
tended the efforts of our government,
the character of the negotiations appear
ing to indicate a purpose on the part OF
the German government to ptocrastlnate
until Congress has decisively announced
its intention in the matter OF sugar duty.
As long as these conditions remain our
government is likely to wait patiently;
but, should there be any fresh attacks
by the Germans upon American inter
ests, there is ground to believe the adj
ministration will have recourse to the
retaliation act of 1890 and single out
which into the United States about
equals in volume the normal cattle and
meat trade with Germany, and forbid its
importation.
