Germany Demands a Decrease in
Tariff Rates.
Wants to Be Accorded the Same Privileges
Recently Given France.
Claims That the Treaty OF 1898,
Whose Terms, Included the
Most Favored Nation" Clause,
Is Still Valid, and Was Not
Vitiated by the Treaty OF 1868.

BERLIN, Sept. 5.-The Government,
through Dr. Won Holleben, German
ambassador to the United States, has
demanded that the same tariff decreases
granted France in the recent treaty be
accorded Germany, under the most IA
yored nation" clause.
A strong reply by John A. Kasson,
special Reciprocity Commissioner of the
United States, refuting the claim
has been presented to DR.. Won Holle-
ben, and a copy of it has arrived here.
America contends that "the most
favored nation" clause does not apply.
Germany claims that the treaty of 1928,
whose terms included the clause, is still
valid, as the United States by silence
has agreed thereto, and that it was not
vitiated by the treaty of 1868.
Foreign Office officials here decline to
express an opinion on the subject at
present, but will give one later on.
) Herr Vosberg Recow Of the central
bureau for the preparation of CONNER
cial treaties, admitted to-day in the
course Of an interview that the most
favored nation clause had been vio-
lated repeatedly by both Germany and
the United States, and that it was
doubtful whether the clause should be
held. He also admitted that the Ger
man Empire did not take over all
treaties of foreign States with Prussia.

ARKANSAS ELECTION.
Democratic State Ticket Elected
by a Large Majority.

LITTLE ROCK (Ark.), Sept. 5.-Ar-
kansas to-day elected a full corps of
State officers 100 members Of the low
er house Of the Legislature sixteen
Senators, local officers in each of the
seventy-five counties, and voted on the
adoption of two important constitu
tonal amendments, as we'll as the ques-
ton of the liquor license in the differ
ent counties
The Democratic State ticket, headed
by Dan W. Jones, is undoubtedly elect
ed, the only question of doubt being
the size of the Democratic plurality.
The vote on the two constitutional
amendments is in doubt One Of these
provides for the creating by the Leg
islature of Railroad Commission, and
the other for the levying of a tax Of
3 mills for road purposes.
But few figures are at hand at mid
night. The Republicans have carried
Lawton and Seary Counties, and the
Populists have probably carried Cleve-
land, Clarke, White and Nevada. A
few other counties are in doubt, but
the Democrats have nearly all of them
secured.
The indications are that Jones will
have a majority over the combined op-
position Of from 10000 to 10000. The
Railroad Commission constitutional
amendment is undoubtedly adopted. So
far as is known at this hour, no serious
trouble has occurred.

MICHAEL WON.
Defeats Tom Linton by Over Two
Miles.

NEW YORK, Sept 5-Jimmy
Michael demonstrated his superiority
over his old Welsh schoelmate, Tom
Linton, at the Manhattan Beach cycle
track this afternoon in an hour un-
limited paced race The conditions
were nearly perfect, and the race was
witnessed by thousands of enthusiasts.
When Linton gave up, after riding thir-
ty miles, the little Welshman was ten
dered an ovation.
Linton cut out some fast work in the
beginning Of the contest, and smashed
all existing records from the second up
to the eleventh mile, which he covered
in 1S minutes As second. This was
3 10 seconds better than his own
worlds record. Michael was 2 seconds
slower than Linton, but also ahead Of
the record at this point. Both were
behind the record in the twelfth mile,
but in the thirteenth the record of
22:21 Is, held by Harry Elkes of G1ens
Falls, N. Y, was beaten. Michael did
the distance in 22:1S, and Linton's
time was 22:2O 3-5
From this stage until the end of the
race Elkes' time was not touched by
either.
The exact distance made by Linton
was 80 miles, 66 yards. Michael won
by 2 miles and so yards.

SPANISH PARLIAMENT.
No Sensational Scenes at the Open
ing of the Cortes.


MADRID, Sept. s. The Chambers
assembled here to-day. Thus far only
routine business has been transacted.
At the opening of the Senate the Sec
retary read a letter from Senior Roo-
riguez Senator from Porto Rico, re-
fusing to obey the summons to attend.
Premier Sagasta arrayed in the IN
sigma of his office, ascended the tribune
and read a. decree authorizing the Gov
ernment to present to the Chamber
draft of a law empowering the Minis
ters to renounce sovereignty over the
colonies, in conformity with the stlpu-
latfons of the peace prelimlnarles pe-
tween Spain and the United States.
The President of the Senate proposed
a secret discussion Of the decree, and
despite the protests of some Senators
ordered the galleries to be cleared,
which was done amid loud murmurs OF
disapproval.
The Chamber soon became involved
in a discussion of press censorship. and
a Deputy inquired into the motive un-
derlying a circular which General Chin-
chilla, Captain General of Madrid, mas
addressed to newspapers, regulating
their reports OIL llle SSooioh OA
Cortes He declared that the censor
ship was inconsistently applied, ana
that the effect of the circular was to
punish possible errors in advance.
Those who had expected sensational
scenes on the reopening Of the Cham
bers were disappointed. The general
public seems Indifferent. The people
at large are apparently convinced that
Spain must accede to whatever the
United States demands.
At the close Of the censorship discus
sion, in which Deputies who are jour-
nalists protested emphatically against
the attitude of the Government, Senior
Romero Roblado accused the Gov
ernment of illegality in continuing the
suspension of the Constitution with
guarantees against the reopening of
the Cortes. He demanded immediate
DEGREES revoking the suspension.
Senor Capdepon, the Minister Of the
Interior replied that the time was not
opportune to revoke the suspension,
and reminded Senior Robledo that a
former Government of which Senor
Romero y Robledo was a member, had
acted in the same way in 1870.
The Chamber then adjourned.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 5.-One of the
first matters to which the President

the non-partisan commission, which
under the Act of Congress of June,
1898, is to collate information and con-

agriculture and capital. This body

other persons who shall fairly rep

Payments.
The Senators and Representative
already have been appointed. For the
positions to be filed by the President
there are on file at the White House

DISTRESS IN CUBA.
Spaniards Making It Difficult for
PeopIe to Obtain Food.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 5.-General Nu-
nez Of the Cuban army has returned to
Washington, having been on an expedi-
ton which took supplies to the Cubans.
He left this country before the war was
closed, and landed at several points and
delivered his supplies.
General Nunez reports a great deal
of distress among the Cubans, and says
it will be still greater on account of
the inability of the Cubans to forage
and raid various places where they for
merly obtained supplies.
General Nunez says that one reason
why the Spaniards are making it diff
cult to supply food to the Cubans is
that they want to compel the latter to
take the provisions by force, and thus
create disturbances and trouble, stir
up strife between the Americans and
Cubans, which will tend to discredit
them. The Spaniards are willing food
should be given to their immediate peo-
pie, but do not want It taken to the
Cubans, says the General.
