SHARP DIPLOMATIC SPARRING
Extending 0verYears Present Agree
ment Is the Not Result.

Washington, July H.-The German
| American reciprocity agreement, which
was proclaimed today here and in Ber-
| lin, appears to be the result OF sharp
| diplomatic maneuverng over peariod of
| several years on the meaning of the
| favored nation clause. Germany
| formerly had only one tariff schedule
for all nations. But in the years pre-
ceding 1892, seven reciprocity treaties were
made with Austria-Hungary, Russia, It
| ally, Belgium, Roumania and some other
countries. These gave a preferential tar
| if to the countries mentioned, in return
| for concessions allowed to Germany. Ger
many made no reciprocity treaty with
| the United States, but under the most
! favored nation clause of the general
| treaty between this country and Germany
| it was held that the United States was
| entitled to the same preferential tariff
rates allowed by Germany to Russia,
Italy, and the other countries mentioned.
When, therefore, the United States gave
reciprocity reductions to France the
German authorities asked for similar re-
auctions under the favored nation"
clause. Moreover it is probable that if
the United States had not given Ger
many the same reduction allowed to
France, the German preferential tariff,
including the United States with Russia.
Italy, Austria, ETC.. would have been
withdrawn. 1t was therefore settled that
the German preferential rates would be
confirmed to the United States and that
the United States would grant Germany
the same tariff reductions already accord
ed France ItalV and POrtIloa1
The German tariff covers several hun
dred items and on a percentage of these
the preferential rate is marks per 100
kilograms, the preferential rate of $50
marks per 100 Kilograms. On corn the
regular rate is 2 marks; preferential rate
LEO marks. On meat, ham, bacon, etc.
the regular rate Is 20 marks; preferential
rate, Is. On machinery the preferential
rate is in some cases only one-haIf Of
the regular rate. Red wine in casks. used
for mixing, is sent in considerable ouan-
titles from California to Germany and on
this the regular rate is "a marks per 100
kilograms. while the preferential rate is
TO- There are many other like reductions
in the preferential rate, all of which the
United States will now enjoy under the
reciprocity agreement, not by reason Of
any favored nation clause, as hereto
fore, but by virtue of the agreement
now proclaimed giving the preferential
rates as distinct right to which Amer
lean importers are entitled

Washington is the only city which does
not circulate the silver dollar. I have not
seen a silver dollar in Washington, save
only two or three 1 had in my pocket on
coming here. The government pays in
cash and always puts paper money in
the envelope as the more convenient
Paying in small paper is for convenience
and that alone For instance, a disburs-
ing clerk on pay day starts with his
box Of envelopes, which often contains
as much as $4,000 in money under the
five dollar note If he took silver his
box would not hold it and if It did he |
would be obliged to use a dray as it |
would weight about 600 pounds
The heat has been very near unendur- |
able in Washington the last week, 90 in |
the shade and no breeze. This is the |
time for advice against iced drinks, and |
what to eat and what to avoid: advice to |
keep out Of the sun, to be careful not |
to overdo and so on. Advice which one
accepts as good-for the other fellow. We
hear it, accept it, load up on ice water
and fruit which is condemned for its
fermentation. We have the consolation
TO say we know better at any rate.

The putting into operation of the Ger

that the purpose of its suspension is sim
ply to allow of the execution of existing
contracts held by American meat pack
ers. 1t is not discoverable just now
whether or not this meat act figures in
any way in the reciprocity arrangement,
and 1t may be, and probably is, the fact
that the suspension has been arranged

4:30 a. m. today of heart failure in his
apartments at the Portland in this city
While Senator Gear had been in i'll health

the senator summoned his confidential
secretary, Colonel R. Root, and informed
him that he was troubled with congestion
Of his chest. Mrs. Gear was called and
she and Colonel Root applied some simple
remedies, which seemed 10 relieve the
senator's suffering. at 2:3O Senator Gear
complained Of a serious difficulty in
| breathing. His condition became critical
and his family physician, DR.. Davis. was
summoned. An examination convinced
Dr. Davis that his distinguished patient

him that Senator Gear could last scarcely
an hour. About 4 o'clock the senator
seemed to be easier and when asked by
Mrs. Gear as to his condition replied
