only two days more remain for the
Legislature to remain in session, but
the developments of these two days

possible to avert bloodshed. The Re
publican officials, however, deny that
such action has been contemplated ana
say that the Legislature will not be

That the report is believed in Demo-

the fact that the ACCESSIBILITY of hold

year he was reelected by over 800 ma

Mr.. keyou was a member of Mystic
Lodge, knights of Honor, West Med
ford, Windsor Castle knights of the
Golden Eagle. and of the Veteran Fire

two daughters and one son.
In politics Mr. Keyou was an ardent
Democrat, having served the party
faithfully and well on town, city and
state matters. He was a first-class
debater and an excellent parliament
tartan. He first became prominent in
politics in the early town days. but he
could not be prevailed upon to take
any town office. When the municipal
form of government came into power,
IN 1898. he was a candidate for the
common council from Ward l. He was.
however, defeated by eight votes.
His election to the Legislature in 1898,
the district being strongly Republican,
was a great surprise. His predecessor
was the Hon. Daniel w. Lawrence.

GERMANY INDIGNANT.
Thinks Something Ought to Be Done TO Re.
duce American Imports.

Washington, March 1l.-Nice Consul
Monaghan. at ChepnitZ, reports to the
state department that owing to the
increased importation Of American ma
chimes into Germany. the total value
of the imports of machinery increased
from $l0.412. 900 in 1890. to $l3.32S 600 in
1898.
The vice consul transmits two news
paper reports touching upon the Amer
lean trade with Germany. The first
appeals to the German shoe manufac-
turers to combine to secure an increase
of the tariff on shoes To 20 per cent. in
order to ward off the invasion Of
American shoes.
Another extract inveighs severely
against the German officials who
awarded 4 contract for 20 American
locomotives, charging that the Ameri-
cans made their bid appear lower than
the German bidders by emitting the
tariff amounting to about $1,000 on
each locomotive. The business trick
is severely criticized, and there is also
4 reference to American locomotives
as inferior. being locomotives built by
the dozen"
The vice consul. however. says that
this duplication of parts in American
machinery is really n great virtue
while the bureau of foreign commerce
points out that the American compan-
les which bid upon the locomotives cor
rccted the bid to compensate for the
tariff before the awards We're made.
Consul General Gunther reports the
conviction at Frankfort Of a German

Iteration.
