Washington, February 16.-Inqury touch
ing the negotiations between the United
States and Germany relative to a reciproc-
ity arrangement under the terms of the
Dingley tariff act, develops the fact that
while these have not progressed very rap
idly of late, principally on account of th5
deep absorption of the officials charged with
tariff questions in the Canadian negotia-
tons, yet, on the whole, there has been
some advancement, and certainly nothing
has occurred that, from the United States
point of view, would indicate a failure of
the negotiations. Therefore, 1t Is regretted
that the temper of Germany not only OF
the unofficial newspapers, but also of the
official class, as revealed in the public dec
larations of cabinet officers, has taken
turn that promises to retard, instead or
assisting these negotiations.

UNFAIR TREATMENT
BOTH TO WILMINGTON PEOPLE

COMPANY.

Il think the Wilmington and Bran

unfairly in the extreme by the Street
and Sewer Department" said James j.
Wyatt, one of the Oldest and best
known business men in this city.
This talk of going behind the Legis-
lature is all wrong, in my opinion, for
the last act OF the Legislature gave the
privilege OF using West Sixth street to
the Wilmington and Brandywine
Springs Company. which would surely
invalidate any former act. / also think
that the members of the department
have done a grave injustice TO the peo-
pie OF Wilmington, nearly all OF whom
were anxious for the Brandywine
Springs Company to come in Sixth

REGARDING DISPOSAL OF SIXTH

Il think the Street and Sewer Direc-

granting the use Of Sixth street to the
Wilmington and Brandywine Springs
Company said George A. Elliott. TT
will deprive Wilmington Of many op-
portunities and prevent the develop
ment of the country through which the
line passes. Brandywine Springs is
one of the most beautiful spots in the
country, and Wilmington people ought
to be Afforded an opportunity to visit it
at the least cost. 1 believe the directors
made further grave mistake in grant
ing the privilege to the Wilmington
CITY Company. The people have had
no say in the matter, but / believe the
day is not far distant when they will. "
