That Troublesome Duty.

Now little Denmark puts in protest
against Uncle Sans violation of treaty
agreements. Tuesday the Danish min
lister sent TO the State Department note
protesting, in terms similar to those en-
ployed by Germany and Austria-Hun-
gary, against the discriminating duty on
bounty paid sugar. Denmark's exporta-
tions of beet sugar to this country are
very small, and scarcely worth protest
ing about, but it is understood the Copen-
hagen Government has acted in response
to pressure from Berlin. The Germans
have been putting restrictions on the i'm
portation of Danish bacon, claiming that
there is something rotten in the state OF
Denmark so far as the meat of the little
bogs of that country is concerned, and
the protest filed is thought to have some
bearing on the trade relations between
Denmark and Germany, as well as on
those between Denmark and the United
States The treaty between this country
and Denmark contains n favored nation
clause identical with that in the treaties
with Prussia and Austria.

Gicks Tells His Story.

Judge A. j. Ricks, of Cleveland, Ohio,
accompanied by his counsel. has arrived
in Washington TO appear before the COM
mittee of the House Of Representatives to
answer the charges preferred against him
by the Central Labor Union Of Cleveland.
In answer TO questions by n representa-
tive of the Associated Press, Judge Kicks
said: "The substance of the charge made
is that | have retained fees claimed by me,
by virtue of my former clerkship, which
should have paid over TO the United States.
There is absolutely no truth in this
charge. The whole accusation embraces
three items aggregating S766, and in my
reports for the year 1883 and the first half
of 1889 l charged myself with this very
amount as part of my compensation as
clerk, the charge being made upon ac-
count of records in what are known as
the Birdsell cases. The actual making of
records in all clerks offices is always
many months behind the disposal of cases,
and in this way il happened that the rec
ords in these case in which | had SO
charged myself with $7G6 before actually
receiving the same were not completed un-
til after my appointment as judge. When
the fees in the case were paid to me they
amounted to 1,79215. For this amount
/ forwarded the proper department of the
government Il full statement and ac-
count"

ard their crops, like those of their white
brother, were a total failure, and the
lakes that once were full of water have
been dry for the last three years. There

New Postofice for Chicago.

The House of Representatives, by a
vote of 1917 yeas to 81 nays, passed the
bill authorizing the erection of govern

the present postoffice. The bill is the
original bill without any appropriation.
The portion of the second section of the
bill. which provided for an appropriation
was stricken out. The bill goes To the
Senate without dollar of appropriation,

The trolley strike in Brooklyn took
serious turn Friday morning, owing to the

the Bush street stables of the Court street
lines, where the police expected no trouble
whatever, strikers to the number of sew

non-union men, and three shots were fired

great that eight new men deserted the

more were frightened into deserting their

Something of a scare was occasioned in
Washington by the publication of bulle-
tin to the effect that the State Department
had been informed that the Hamburg
authorities had forbidden the importation
of cattle and swine from England and
ireland, the supposition being that the de-
cree was really aimed at America in the
interest of the countries named. To APP
preciate the possible significance Of the or
der il may be explained that very large
proportion of the American meat products
that go to European markets pass
through England and Ireland, being
reshipped from there. Hence il might
seem at first blush that the new Hamburg
order might have sinister bearing on
American commerce. Such, however,
does not seem to be the case, at least that
is the construction placed upon 1t at the
State Department. The understanding
there is that the original orders shutting
out our cattle and meats from German
ports was made broad enough to cover
shipments via English and Irish ports,
and that no supplemental rulings or de-
crees were necessary. Under conditions,
as they have existed for several months,
Germany can do exactly what it was at
first feared she was contemplating under
the new order. Definite and fuller in
formation may put a worse construction
on the Hamburg bulletin than is at pres
ent warranted. but the best information
now obtainable does not warrant sensa-
tional deduction. The order merely puts
Great Britain on the same basis with the
United States with regard TO the exporta-
ton of cattle and swine to Germany.
That being an item of no mean Importance
in the British trade, that country may be
expected to make loud roar over the out
rage. 1t gives this country new and
powerful ally in its fight for fair play with
the stubborn Teutonic authorities.
