FLOOD SUFFERERS.
Emperor Francis Joseph of Austria
has granted 10000 forins from his pri-
| vats purse for the relief of the suffer-
ers. and the queen of Saxony has grant
ed 10000 marks. and the regent of Ba-
varia 1900 marks for the same purpose
Emperor William of Germany has not
| yet made a donation TO the people who
have suffered from the floods in the
eastern part of the country, although
he has given $4,000 marks to the flood
sufferers in Alsace. The newspapers
are calling for special sessions of the
| reichstag and diet, so that these bodies
may make extraordinary grants of
money for the relief of the suffering
families, but as the suggestion was first
made by the VOarwertS and other SOC
cialiSt newspapers, it is being discoUr-
aged by the government. The munich
Dality of Berlin has granted 500, 900
marks for the relief of the thousands
of people rendered homeless and penni-
less by the storms, and the city of Ores
den has voted 100000 marks for the
same good work.
The German newspapers continue TO
discuss the new United States tariff.
and to call for repriSals, but the ASsO-
ciated Press learns from the foreign
office that the government of Germany
has no intention of beginning a tariff
war. A high official of the foreign Of
fee said to the correspondent: There
will be no tariff war, as Germany is
too weak to carry it out, and because a
large part of American imports of
food stuffs, as well as cotton and other
raw materials, are Indispensable to our
industry. The formation of a large
continental tariff union. with it's ram
pointed at the United States. would
miscarry, because of England's opposi-
ton. AS matter of fact. our hands
are tied, and even Baron Won Thiel-
mann (the German ambassador to the
United States, who has been named as
the successor of Count POSadOwSky
Wehner as imperial secretary of state
for the treasury though his advice and
intimate knowledge of the American
t2-:sf and financial affairs would be of
great help to us during the coming i
crisis, cannot change the facts in the |
case"
