In view of the publication here of sew
eral special dispatches, saying Germany
has appointed delegates to a commission
which President Mckinley recommended
TO adjust the economic differences between
Germany and the United States, inquiries
were made by the correspondent of the
Associated Press. The foreign office off,
Gals said they knew nothing about the
appointment of delegates, and United
States Ambassador White said the same.
The foreign office, in addition, pointed
out that, in any case. the difficulties
against accomplishing the object mem
toned originated in America and not in
Germany.
Germany Seeks Reciprocity.
Germany, after giving a satisfactory
reply to the United States request for
the maintenance of the open-door policy
in China. thus showing her good will to-
ward the United States, has several times
preached the subject of America recipro-
eating by granting similar privilege in
trade with the Philippines. This matter
has been under discussion, though infor-

JEFFERSON ON MANSFIELD.
Says He Is Sometimes Clever and
Sometimes Artificial.

Atlanta March 31.-Joseph Jefferson,
the famous actor, now playing here, has
passed a very comprehensive criticism on
Richard Mansfield, his brilliant young
contemporary. When seen at his hotel
to-day. he said in part:
Mansfield, l think, is clever at times,
but at other times quite artificial. His
intensity however is marked and it at
tracts me. He oVer-acts, and, of course,
that disturbs me, because il wakens in
me the thought that l would not play the
part that way, but be quieter, more con-
sentative at such times. His over-acting
probably springs from intensity, and time
may give more artistic control. STILL as
l said before, Mansfeld's intensity is at
tractive"
Other artists were discussed, but this
was the most vigorous criticism that Mr..
jefferson had 10 offer.
