treaties containing the favored nation
clause was now scarcely necessary, as
the Americans no longer fully observed
their treaty. The Americans, he said.
must be made to understand that the
Germans had no need whatever to OBJ
tain their whole list of necessaries from
them alone. If one country closed it's
markets to another good commercial
relations could not permanently contin-
ue. In this connection it was in the
interest of German agriculture to up
hold the purchasing power Of the coun-
try against American measures. A tar
if was certainly undesirable, but in the
event of such a struggle America, ow-
ing to the greater volume of her i'm
ports, had much more to lose than Ger
many. The count concluded with ex-
pressing the hope that the federal gov
ernment would act both cautiously and
energetically. His remarks were ap-
plauded by the Rightists.
Baron Won Buelow replied that it was
impossible, In view of the pending ne
gotiations, to make an exhaustive dec
laration of the position taken by the
German and American governments.
In the specific question, Germanys diff
ferences with America were mainly at
tributable to conflicting interests In re-
lation to the favored nation treatment,

then read part of the treaty and con-
tinued:
GERMAN-AMERICA TIES.
"The German government has always
considered these clauses of the treaty
as implying unlimited most favored ma
ton treatment for Germany in all tar
iff questions. Concessions of any other
kind which the United States might
grant to third state in return for some
srecial compensation, Germany would
only claim if she made a correspond
ing return to the United States. From

In the course of his speech Baron Won
Buelow emphatieally declared that Ger
many only intended to protect the life
and property of Germans in the Phil
ippine islands, and added:
Now we have no fears. We are con-
vinced that our countrymen in the Phil
ippine islands are safe under American
protection. If part of the foreign press
falsely imputes 10 us other motives
than the above it does not alter the

about the German consul at Hong Kong

There are said to be real reasons for
the hope that tomorrow will see a
moderation in the record of continued
cold. which has encompassed the
Northwestern states for ever two
weeks, bur there is little assurance of
warming up today.
Yesterday, locally. the temperature
ranged from -13 to 30 With a daily
mean ot-23 and while the Washington
forecast promises an elevation of the
mercury or the prairies cf Dakota
which might be considered as an earn
est of an early moderation here. there
is still a threat embodied in the con-
tinUance of high barometric area this
side Of the Rockies.

and the mercury had been comparative

is anticipated for today, but on the
contrary neither is there any marked

Record Established for the New

NEW YORK, Feb 11.-This was the coldest
day New York has had since the weather bu
reau began business, which was in 1872 At
Z q. m. the thermometer registered 6.2 degrees
below zero. There is a continuance of the
suffering among the poor and among the
gripmen and conductors of the surface roads
and others working in the open air. The North
and East rivers are full of floating ice
through which only the smallest tug boats
and ferries are endeavoring to move. The
charity steamboat Thomas Brennan started
last night from the foot of East Twenty
street with eighteen bodies from the morgue
for Harts island, and after a fight in the ice
all night returned this morning with the
bodies and redeposited them in the morgue.
