TREATIES DENOUNCED.
Commercial Arrangements to he
AbrOgated by Great Britain.

BERLIN, July 80. - The commercial
treaty between Great Britain and the Ger
man Zollverein. which has been in force
since May 80, 1865, was renounced to-day
by Great Britain and ceases to be operative
year herce. The Reichsanzeiger says
that the supplementary conventions which
were concluded when the treaty was ex-
tended to the German states joining the
Zollverein will expire with the main
treaty next summer.
1t was believed that the danger of Great
Britain denouncing the commercial treaties
with Germany and Belgium was past, and
therefore the news that the treaties have
been denounced caused all the greater sem
sation, though it is believed that official
circles had tull knowledge of the matter
and that King Leopold of Belgium, during
his recent visit to Kiel, exchanged views
with the Emp Aror The event lends great
interest to the attitude of the government
toward the agrarians, who Will seize the
chance to demand that a tariff war with
England be %aged, as they nave already
demanded with regard to the United states.
Various Berlin papers print comments on
the action Of Great Britain in denouncing
the treaties. The Freisinnige Zeitung, the
organ of Herr Richter, the Radical leader
expresses great surprise, but otherwise con-
tents itself with indicating the bearings of
the question noting that in 1895 German eX
ports TO England amounted to 19 per cent
of her total exports, while her imports from
England amounted to 1872 per cent. of her
total imports
BRUSSELS, July 30.-Le Soir publishes
a special edition announcing that the Brit
ish government has denounced the CONNER
cial treaty with Belgium. The announce
ment has caused much excitement in com
meTcial circles.

THE SOCIAL DEMOCRACY.
Eugene ". Debs Says 1t VIII FOrmu-

CHICAGO, July 90.-The New Time of
Monday will contain article by Eugene
Debs, in which he says: THE Social De-
mooracy is a great social, economic and DO
litical organization. 1t is at once national
and international. Politically speaking. il
is a party within and for itself, and with
in twelve months its national representa-
tives will nave formulated a national DO
litical platform. Similarly, the various
state representatives will have adopted
state platforms and the municipal repre-
sentatives local platforms. By far the
greater part of the criticism has been di-
rected against the colonization scheme and
there are those who still insist that this is
all there is to the movement or at least
that this is it's chief purpose To all Of these
be it said that the proposed colonization
scheme is simply one of the features of the
movement and has been assigned a special
department known as the colonization de-
partment.' There has never been any inten-
tion to organize isolated colonies, and they
who have worked themselves up in describ-
ing the fate of other colonies and predict
ing calamity have been wasting their time" ;"
