negro labor, which was supposed 20 have
been settled yesterday. was on again TO-
day. A verbal agrsemen was reached be-
tween the strikers and P-esiden: Eliza.

10 discharge the negro women. and II
was no: supposed that any difficulty
would be encountered in agreeing upon
a written contract. When the contract
drawn up by the strikers was presented,
the president. declined 10 sign IL. and the
settlement was declared off. The cause
.ot the disagreement; is he demand OF the
strikers that the mill not only withdraw

the strike, but all Of ,he negroes en-
ployed except fi-emen and scrub women.

GERMANY's TARIFF DODGE
Tries to Make the New Sugar Tariff a Case
of DISCRIMINATION

Washington, Aug. 6.-Tie German gov
eminent has again entered a formal pro
test against the application ID German
sugar of section OF the new tariff act.
by which such sugar would be taxed
with higher duty than that from other
countries. 1, is not denied, however
that the German sugar clearly comes
within the provision Of section 5. by rea-
son OF the paymen; OF an export bounty.
but the contention is made that the ad-
ditional duty imposed is discriminating
against German sugar, which is incon,-
patab.e both with the most favored ma
ton rights that are secured 10 its pro-
ddctions by the treaties now in force
and also with the provisions OF the act
of August %, 1891. With regard TO the
first contention the German charge daft
flares in his note 70 the secretary OF
state appears 10 revive the position TAX
en- in June, 1896. with respect 10 the du-
ties levied upon bountied sugars. The
matter was then considered in connec-
tion with the discriminating tariff pro-
vision OF August q, 1894. in relation 10
salt duties, by the attorney general. NJ.
Oiney. who held that under tha act salt
was legally dutiable. Mr.. Won Richie
naus' note refers TO the treaties. but il
seems that his particular reference is TO
10 the treaty OF May l, 1929. between the
United States and Prussia. II is OBJ
served by the state department that il is
still without any information from the
German government on the point raised
by Mr.. Olney as 10 whether the treaty
with Prussia is 20 be taken as effective
with respect TO other portions OF the en-
pire, or is applicable only to the produc-
tions Of Prussi exported from Prussia.
As TO the contention that the tariff pro-
vision is Incompatible with the terms Of
the treaty OF August, 1891. the state de-
partment takes the position that the
passage Of the act OF 1894 repealed sec |
ton 3. of the act OF October /, 1890. No |
reference whatever is made in Mr.. Own |
Reichenaus' note 10 the other provisions |
Of the act. which extends the scope OF |
duties to include al goods upon which ex-
port bounty is paid
