The German Government Disclaims Re-

Associated Press Special Wire
WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-The German
government has lodged an energetic
protest with the state department at the
action of the president in imposing ton
mage duties on German ships entering
American harbors. The receipt of this
protest will be duly acknowledged, but
there the matter is likely to rest unless
the German government takes steps to
remove the charges on American ship
ping which formed the basis for the
presidents proclamation, issued yester-
day. The contention of the German
government is that it does not tax
American shipping and that the i'm
perial government cannot be held ac-
countable for the imposition of charges
by provincial and municipal officials.
The contention of our government on the
other hand is that regardless of who is
responsible for the levying of the port
dues, their collection from American
vessels is the only fact necessary to be
established to put in operation at once
the Dingley law imposing tonnage dues
on German vessels. That the law is self
operative, and once the president is sat
isfied that port charges of any charac-
ter are imposed on American ships by
any foreign government he must pro-
claim that fact, thus setting the law in
force. 1t is said here that since the
German ships in 1888. by Secretary Bay
ards act, We're relieved of tonnage dues
in American ports our ships entering
German ports have been assessed and
paid port dues to the amount of about
100000.
GERMAN OBJECTION.
BERLIN, Dec. 5.-The Cologne Ga
zette says that the North German Lloyd
and the Hamburg American steamship
lines will be the chief sufferers by the
withdrawal of the exemption of German
vessels of the payment Of tonnage dues
in America, and adds President Cleve-

Railroad Tracks Not Yet Repaired AT

Damage in Wisconsin

TACOMA, Dec. 5.-The White river
fell a little today but the water is still
too high to permit the building of an
other bridge across it near Kent for use
while another bridge is being put in
place by the Northern Pacific. Stub
trains are being run from Tacoma to Au-
burn and between Kent and Seattle. A
hundred feet of the Northern Pacific
bridge across the Yellowstone river east
of Livingston, Mont, was carried away
last night by the breaking up of an ice
gorge 1t is intended to have new
bridge in place Monday.
Chinook winds have been blowing at
Yakama and Ellensburg, causing rapid
melting of the snow covering the hills
and valleys of Central Washington. An
other big freshet is expected there If
the Chinook continues.
A Ledger special from Everett says
the Everett and Monte Cristo railway,
which sustained bad washouts three
weeks ago, has not yet got its track in
shape for the running of trains. AS a
consequence supplies in the mining
camps are running very low.

DAMAGE ESTIMATES
MILWAUKEE,, Dec 5.-A special to
the Evening Wisconsin from Eau Claire
says: The local Office of the Chicago,
Milwaukee and st. Paul estimates the
flood damage as follos:
Milwaukee and st. Paul, $4,000, on ac-
count Of loss of business and damage to
track. the latter being of small matter.
The farmers below Durand, on livestock,
hay. grain. $1,000 The last figures are
probably too high, as $4,000 will Doubt

land has taken this decision in order to
secure himself a brilliant send-off on his
retirement. But the decision is illegal.
President Cleveland's assertion that
state tonnage dues are levied at German
ports is incorrect. No such dues are
levied. The dues imposed are for the
use of special port accommodations"
Continuing, the Gazette says that it
trusts that If the proclamation is en-
forced the American law courts will see
that principle of right and justice is
upheld, "even in the case of Germans in
America" and it further expresses the
hope that "in the meanwhile the Ger
man government will succeed in con-
vincing Washington that Germany can
not accept such infringement of her
rights"

What Happened When n Capitalist Sud-

A paying teller of q down town bank

fits one day last winter, all because I
met him unexpectedly.
u had been planning q little jaunt
down to Cuba for some time. AS it wa
doubtful when I should be able to get
away from the bank I said nothing about
it to my friends or the banks customers.

head of this concern, and, in fact, had
got the account through him. lie told
us when he gave it to us that he was in

cause he was about to go to Cuba.
"As soon as I was able to get away 1

nearly a month, having q most delight
full time and keeping one eye open for
my friend of our new account. I was
just about ready to start for homo when
l met him, quite by chance, in one OF
the Havana shops. When no saw me he
jumped back about five feet, as if he
had been shot from out Of q gun.
"'God bless my soul-you here?' he
said. Why, wha-t?' He seemed struck
all in a heap. You here? Good heav-
ensl' [ had TO laugh, and laugh hard at
that, for 1 knew what was troubling
him. Ho was thinking of that 500, OOC
balance, and worrying about it-a little.
You see, as I was the paying teller Of
the bank, the thought naturally flashed
through his mind that I had skipped
with the banks funds and a large slice
of his hundred thousand.
"Of course, as soon as he saw me
laugh and his excitement had cooled
down n littlo he began to see the fun OF
the thing and that he aud tho bank were
safe, after all. We found out wo were
going home on the same steamer and

fair to be q memorable one.

the cast, and their work together, as
we'll as in their single specislties, is q

The ladies are all young and pretty,
and appear In costumes that are re-
markable for their beauty and novelty.
The company has been particularly sc.
lected for their singing and dancing
abilities,
Lottie Burke who Is playing Kitty
Starlight this season is o soubrette OF
marked ability and an untiring worker,
being closely seconded by Ida Marie

has been singing with marked success
In light opera for the past three years.
