lFrom The Herald's Correspondence
Provo, Nov. ia difficulty arose be-
tween L. L. Num- of the Telluride Pow
er & Transmission company and Wat
son Bros, which came to climax this
afternoon, when the latter came into
S. A. Kings office and asked that gem
tleman to draw UP papers for a suit,
the title of which is j. c. Watson and
Bros. VS.. L. L. Num-. w. j. Madden.
c. Y. King, jr., David Stage, J. w.
Beesly and w. S. Scarf. This suit re-
suited from Mr.. Num- taking posses
sion Of the trucks, drays and wagons
which were being used by Watson
Bros. for transporting the heavy ma
chinery belonging to the Power COM
pany to the mouth of Provo canyon
and along their power line, and using
them for this purpose without the con-
sent of Watson Bros.
Some friction arose between the par
ties, Watson Bros. refusing to do the
plaintiffs bidding in this work of trans
prtation and, at an early hour, soon
after midnight, a force of men took
these wagons and proceeded with the
work, it being assumed by Mr. Num-
that he was entitled to the use Of the
drays should the contractors fail to
come UP to their agreement, as these
are the only ones which can be pro-
cured here to handle the machinery.
Watson Bros. We're very much dis
turbed this morning when they discov-
cred that their property had been
taken. and proceeded to begin suit for
recovery. In the complaint they allege
that the defendants are holding this
property, refusing to deliver it upon
their personal demands. to their dam
age in. the sum of 81 900. They claim
that their property is worth $500, and
was taken in the night time, against
their consent.
Mr.. Num- states that in his contract
with Watson Bros. he has reserved the
right to use the wagons in event Of
Mr.. Watson failing to do the work he
contracted TO perform.

to word his answer rightly. finally con-
tinued: Il have reason to believe the

A PROTEST FROM GERMAYN.
Directed Against the Differential Duty
On Sugar, and This Government Is Re

minded or Its Reciprocity Treaty.
Washington, d. c., May 2O.-The Sec
rotary of State today sent to the Senate
protest from the German ambassador
against the provision for discriminating
duty on sugar. The original protest is
dated April ;. and is directed against
the provision of the House bill for a diff
ferential duty on sugars from countries
paying an export bounty. A postscript
is added. making the document applicable
to the more general discrimination pro-
vided by the Senate Finance committee
amendments to the sugar schedule. Am
bassador Thielman says he acts under
the instruction of his government. He
says the damage which threatens Ger
man EXPORTS from the provisions of the
pending bill is much heavier than that
which resulted from the tariff law of
1894.
Mr.. Thielman calls attention to the Sar-
atog:l reciprocity agreement of 1891.
whereby German sugar was to be admit
ted free into the United States on con-
dition that American pork was to be so
admitted into Germany. THE tariff act
of 1894 has" he says. already shifted in
premises upon which the exchange of
these notes was effected and they would
he changed still more to the disadvantages
OF Germany if the bill now before Con
gress should. without amendment con-
corning sugar. become a law. The impe-
rial government would be confronted
with the question whether these advan-
tages should he further continued. which

States. by applying to the importatiOns

Mr.. Thielman says that the amend
ments made by the Senate committee do
not alter in substance the subject of his
protest. though they do in form.

FATE OF CUBAN RESOLUTION.

1t Will Probably Lie on the House Table
Until the President Gets Ready to
Act.
Kinley is not likely to be called upon to
take action upon the Cuban resolution
passed by the Senate to-day for sometime
and perhaps not at all. The resolution
would not be sent to him for his ap-
prevail until it had been adopted by the
House and whether the House takes it
up, must be decided hereafter. 1t is
known that Mr.. Mckinley desires the
postponement Of final congressional ac-
ton on the Cuban question until the re-
port of Mr.. Calhoun, who is on the is
land TO investigate conditions there. has
been made.
Mr.. Hit, said guardedly in the debate
to-day that the adoption Of the Morgan
resolution at this time might embarrass
negotiations which the President has in
mind to secure the independence of Cuba
and although Mr.. Hit G ,essly disclaim-
ed that he spoke by au' ity it was well
known that he had be i'll consultation
with the President on ! lban affairs and
his utterance was taken as a reflection of
the wish of" the executive. The Senate
resolution can be brought before the
House only by Il special rule and Speaker
Reed is known to be opposed to it's adOp-
ton at this time. There may be much
pressure brought to bear by the Republi-
cans who think early action on the Cuban
question advisable to have the resolution
adopted by the House, burt so long as
the leaders consider that it may embarrass
President McKinley's plans it is likely
10 lie on the table
