Current Comment.
Germany's Friendliness.

From the Washington Post.
Germany is bent upon having her own
way in Samoa--as she has been ever since
the regime of Becker, Rrandeis and 1.-The
company" She proposes to recall every
representative of the three signatory
powers-thereby leaving German citizens
in numerical preponderance. She may
propose something else tomorrow. But
the purpose is always domination and
the incidental and collateral developments
are invariably German aggression and
animosty toward us. 1t is amusing to
compare this unmstakable menace of fact
with the trumpery song of fraternal at
lection so carefully set af1oat three weeks
ago.

the Pay of Cuban Troops.
Washington, March 31-The dele
gates from the Cuban assembly, Messrs.
Villalon and Heiva, called informally
at the state department to-day and had
a long conversation with Secretary Hay.
The affairs in Cuba were freely DIS
cussed and the delegates presented the
resolution of the Cuban assembly, Sec
rotary Hay assured the delegates that
the United States government would not
increase the amount of pay of the Cuban
army above the $3000,0O0 already sent
to Cuba. He said this matter, cou.d
not be further considered. He also in
formed them that the president would
not consent to any scheme for raising
money by the Cuban assembly to pay
the Cuban troops. Later the secretary
mentioned the call to President McKin-
ley and the president informed him that
there would be no further answer to the
delegat ton than had already been given
by the secretary.

THE BOUNTY QUESTION
Could Be Settled by Using More Cane
Sugar.

Sugar.
London, April 1.-The Berlin corre-
spondent of the Standard says: Rob
ert =. Porter, before leaving, told me
a few results of his latest researches.
German beet sugar. he finds. cannot be
manufactured under cents a pound.
The cost of production is therefore the
same as cane sugar in Cuba. If the
grocers of England and the United
States could be induced to promote the
sale of cane sugar in preference to beet
the consumption and production of the
former would rise considerably and this
would contribute more to the solution
of the bounty question than prolonged
negotiations. Mr.. Porter thinks also
that if the British government Endorsed
the Indian countervail that will be a
further reason for the United States to
change its attitude. The existence Of
the most favored nation clause between
the United States and Germany is very
complicated"

~ HE other day 1T was announced
that the Russian government
had made a contract with the
Baldwin Locomotive works for eighty
nine engines for the Trans-Siberian
railway, all of them to be delivered
within the next two years. The same
company has contracts to furnish ten
locomotives for France. ten for one rail-
way in England, fifteen for Egypt and
twenty for Sweden-or one hundred and
forty-four in all. 1t appears that in
1896 we exported three hundred and
twelve locomotives, the next year three
hundred and. forty eight, last year five
hundred and eighty, while this latter
number is already exceeded in the con-
tracts for this year. Every nation is
showing a marked preference for Amer
lean locomotives. Give them a chance
and American inventions and American
commerce will rule the world.

* PEAKING of the Schley- Samp-
- son, the Miles-Alger, the Bryan
~ Belmont and other controversies,
it is matter of world wide regret that
the learned San Francisco physicians
cannot agree as to what is the matter
with Kid Mccoy One doctor says the
Kid is suffering from heart failure.
Another physician who examined him
declares that the Kid hasn't heart fail
ure or any other organic trouble. but is
the victim of defective circulation and
a nervous breakdown. In this state of
doubt and uncertainty the only thing
that seems left to be done is to call in
a referee in the person of third ply
sican, who, the chances are. will
sweep aside the opinions of both the
others. and decide that the Kid has ap-
pendcitis. Either call in third man or
let the two disagreeing physicians set
tie their differences by putting on the
gloves and having it out like gentle
men, the loser to withdraw his views as
to the Kids complaint. A correct dag
nosis must be reached somehow. AS
long as this controversy lasts, it is liza
BILE to cause Mr.. Mccoy some worry and
annoyance.

From the Philadelphia Record.
New York, Feb. 25.-Richard Croker is
going to have hard time "disciplining'
George Gould by making him give up the
Battery as a terminal for Manhattan IL. :,
The animus is shown in this incident:
Mr.. Croker called upon Mr.. Gould and
demanded the privilege, in behalf of his
auto-truck company. of attaching its com
pressed air pipes to the elevated com
pany's structures on all streets covered
by their lines,
Mr.. Gould said he would consult his
chief engineer as to whether the structures
would carry the load, and would also as
certain whether the Manhattan Company
had authority to give the necessary per-
mission, whereupon Mr.. Croker said:
ooh. hi, want the pipes put on. and
I don't want any circumiocution.
Mr.. Gould then said: II am surprised at
the tenor of your demand. Don't Won
think Il would be better to give me an on
portunity to consult my officials?''
mo" answered Croker, I'VE want the
pipes put on. and we don't want any fuss
about It.
Mr.. Gould's final remark was: "IJnder
the circumstances. Mr.. Croker, / will set
tie the question now. without referring A.
to my officials. / will say 10 you now that
we will not permit you to attach your
pipes 10 the elevated structures"
