JEALOUSY
Leads to Proposition for In
dustriaI Union.
Did Row Over Sugar Duties Forms
the Basis Of Complaints.

WASHINGTON, April 10 A dispatcn
from Paris states that The Echo de Paris
advises Europe TO form an economic and
Industrial defense against the United
States. Referring to the expression OF
sympathy upon che part of the senate OF
Florida with the Cuban rebels, the paper
protests against the manner in which the
United States interprers international
laws, and declares that American inter-
vention In Asia and Europe In regard to
Armenia should attract the vigilance OF
Europe.
There can be no doubt that there exists
IN Europe q strong feeling against the
United States, the basis of which Is trade
jealousy. Europe does not fesr political
interference on the part of America, the
above to tho contrary Notwithstanding,
but this alleged activity on our part in tho
far East and Armenia Is used as pre-
text 10 base an
Argument For q Tariff War.
In fact, every indication points to q
combined movement on the part OF con-
tinental Earopeen powers to resent tho
alleged violation of treaty provisions en-
bodied In the discriminating duty levied
Sgainst sugar.
The German government, especially, Is
exhibiting remarkable ingenuity In call
ing the attention of the United States to
the errors of its congress In enacting legis-
alton in contraventioz to the principles
Of international law, one Of the most
recent instances being protest presented
by tho German ambassador against an al-
legged unwarrantable perversion OF con-
sular prerogatives

American cattle, and Belgium has done
the same. Denmark, Austro- Hungary
and other powers have protested, and

che last to join the procession.
The Importation Of raw beet sugar from
those countries for the year ending June
30, 1894, aggregated 5O5, o00, 600 pounds, of
which 300, 600, o00 pounds came from Ger
many alone. The diderential duty on
that quantity Of sugar imported from the
countries named would be s505, 600, which
would be In addition to the 40 per cent ad

act. The ad valorem duty would be in
round numbers $1,000 600, based on the
value Of the importation for 1894

France and Germany to discriminate

United States and the proposals for ian

BAPTIZING A BABY KING.
The Imposing Ceremony That Napoleon
Ordered For His Son.

The month of June In tho year 1911
seemed the crowning point Of all the mag
nifcence of tho first empire. 1t was a
month Of display--one continued fete-in
honor Of the little kings baptism.
Philip had been one of the retinue that
had escorted the imperial family from st.
Cloud to the Tuilerics on the afternoon OF
the 9th of June. With the other pages he
had hung upon tho blackboard of the i'm
perial coach, ms on the mex. day-Sunday,
the 9TH Of .June-it was driven through a
living lane Of glittering helmets and nod
ding plumes, where a double row Of the
troops Of the limo and Of the imperial guard
stretched from the palace of the Tuilerics
20 the Cathedral of Notre Dame. Under
the garlanded portal and into the bril-
liantly lighted church he had passed as
one of tho glittcring procession. And
there, In sight of a throng Of princes and
peers, of great officials Of the crown, Of
cardinals and bishops and archbishops of
the senate, the court and the mayors Of
the great cities of the empire, regal In a
coat of silver tissue embroidered with er-
mine and with It's train upheld by mar

empress, walking In imperial state under

tismal candle, aprincess holding his chrism
cloth, countess carrying his saltcellar
and all about him princes and dukes,
chamberlains and marshals grand eagles,
grand equerries grand. masters and grand
lots Of other things! With ushers and
heralds and orderlies and pages; support
ed by his nurses and governesses; with an
emperor for a godfather and queen for a
godmother-this one little baby, Francis
Charles Joseph Napoleon Bonaparte, king
Of Rome and heir to France, was presented
for baptism at the high altar OF the grand
old church which had been the scene Of so
many great and marvellous and curious
ceremonials, but never of one more mag-
nifloent than this.
So the baby was baptized Then IN sight
Of the whole assembly, while the organ
pealed out the "Jubilate," and the first
herald at arms, standing In the choir, cried
out, "Lopg live the king of Romei" the
baby's proud father held his son aloft
where all might see his little magnin-
cence. Then all the crowded church, all
the packed square without and all the lis
tening city raised a mighty shout; "Long
live the king Of Romel Long live the EN-

sounded, the trays were lowered and
the guests served.
I have been much surprised 1T the
small amount of beer drunk by the bet
ter class of Germans. A German with
out his beer had always seemed to me
rather Hamletless Hamlet, but, I am
told, and observation bears out the
assertion, that the better class of Ger
mans do not drink beer. On the Rhine
boats beer is not served in the first
class saloons, and in the great garden
at Baden, where the open-air concerts
take place and which is the great place
of resort, very little beer is served, the
general order being for the popular
Rhine wines, while the French1nan
takes his inevitable cognac and coffee,
a sip of the cognac, then one of the cof-
fee, then both poured together and
drunk being the approved method.
Somebody has called Scotland the
country of two jams" orange mar
malade and some other preserve MAX
ing their appearance at every meal
with startling regularity. Switzer-
land might be termed the country OF
honey. On every breakfast and lunch
table the little pot of honey is laid out
and, if the sweetening process begun
in Scotland is continued in Italy and
France, my bad temper will no longer
be a source of anxiety to my friends
and prayerful meditation to myself.
One can always tell the nationality
of ones neighbor at these tables d'hote
by what he takes to drink. The Amer
lean always has his ice water, the Ger
man his Rhine wine, the EnglishD1an
his dark, heavy wine, when he can get
it, which tastes like half-fermented
vinegar, and the Frenchman his cham
payne or his cognac.
And the customs are so different in
the manner of eating and drinking.
There is profound satisfaction in the
meal itself to the Germans and Swiss,
who eat, oblivious of the rise and fall
of empires, duels and death. The
Americans always act as if they were
in a hurry to catch a train, and they
usually are; the Frenchman eats more
| slowly, with more attention to details,
attentive service, etiquette, ETC., while
the Englishman resembles the German
in the solidity if his food and the way
he swallows tn. Y. Recorder.

The climate. the place, the people and
the language may change, but the table
d'hote is ever the same. You have no
choice; you are literally "at the table
OF the host" and you must take what
he gives you and be thankful that hun
ger has given you the necessary appe-
tite. There are two things almost in
dispensable to the American tourist
which are rarely furnished unless a,
special order is givcn-the first, butter;
the second, ice water. The butter.
" hen it is secured, is always unsalted,
and the water uniced, which necessi-
tates a second order and another wait;
anything out of the unusual taking
time illimitable. It is said that the
American is distinguished by his
prompt demand for ice water, and, if
this is true, of which I have no doubt,
there is no adequate reason, consider
ing the great number of American tour
lists, why it should not be served more
promptly. 1 have tried everything to
quench the thirst of travel but nothing-
but water will satisfy.

plifies the arrangements for service.

maintained which is different from the

white chemisette. At the beginning Of
each course the mattresses formed
line at the door, and then, at a signal,
took their respective places, either at
