government thus far. through Its or

lands vefled threats. and the only semi
official statement has been that OF the
Cologne Gazette on wednesday last. IN
which reference was made 20 the dis
advantages under which German sugar
imports to America suffered, and con-
tending that the inspection OF Ameri-

companies were only subjected 10 the

err ON President Cleveland's congress
sional message The count said: THE
Americans are totally wrong In menac-

has done no more in shutting out
American foodstuffs OF notoriously IN
ferior quality than the hygenic oonsid-

fare demand. The trouble with the
American insurance companies. I un-
derstand, Is due TO their unwill,ngness
or Inability TO comply with our tnsur~

than our own companies. We will not
be expected to favor foreign companies
more than our own"

urers. 1t is high time that both coun-
tries should come to an amicable un-
