GERMANY COMPLAINS
Against Restrictions on Her Exports OF
Manufacturers.

Against Restrictions on Her Exports of
Manufacturers.
New York, May GA special to
the Herald from Washington, says: In
answer to the complaints made by the
United States against the restrictions
imposed upon American meats, Ger
rnany is complaining OF vexatious regu.
lations enforced with respect to her
manufactures.
Under the rule of the treasury de.
partment, consular officers are required
to report ON the composition of manu-.
features imported from Germany into
the United States. The manufacturers
are averse to communicating to foreign
consular officers the ingredients they
employ and the German government
has sustained them in their refusal to
do so. The Berlin authorities think
that the regulations might he amended
so as to remove the cause of complaint.
Action will not be taken by this govern.
ment. however, until it learns the final
decision OF the German legislature on
the meat inspection bill.
1t is hoped OF the state department
that the bundesrath will amend the
hill SO as to remove the prohibition
upon canned meats and sausage, which
the reichstag bill imposes.
There il no expectation among otti-
cials that negotiations for treaty OF
reciprocity with Germany will be lee
sumed for some time.

Subject for Heated Political Debate 10
tho Senate.
Washington, May 25.-This was .
day of rasping political controversy anc
oratory in the senate. With the contro'
versy, those OH the Democratic side o:
the chamber, anomalous as it may
seem, had little to do. What by far.
seeing senators ia regarded as likely
to be the paramount issue of the ap.

subject OF two notable speeches, enc
by Plat, of Cnnecticut, and the other
by Spooner. The former was an answer
to the speech delivered few days age
by Bacon, on his resolution demanding
an examination of financial conditions
in Cuba. Plat favored the adoption
of the resolution, but deprecated what
he called a cheap effort to make politi'

needed no prodding to induce it to

The speech of Spooner was continu'
alton OF his address of Yesterday on the
PHILIPPINE question. In its course he
became involved in a heated and sensa'
tional colloquy with Hale over the
governments conduct of affairs in OUT
"insular possessions. 1t was a le'
markable controversy between two Of
the best equipped senators in the sen.
ate, and was list ned to with profound
attention by senators, many represen'
tatiyes and crowded galleries.

Washington. May 26.-The Chinese
minister has received numerous tele'
grams from Chinese residents Of San
Francisco, asking him to have revoked
the order that they shall be inoculated
with the anti.plague serum. The situ'
alton in San Francisco is very grave,
as the Chinese have a great fear of this
treatment, and serious trouble may
ensue il it IL continued. The minister
commented upon the fact that the
whites are not being treated, and ex'
pressed the opinion that this was not
fair.

Rutcherat1 Seven whales.


W. c. King, OF Sand Lake. writes to
the Tillamook, Or, Headlight, the fol-
lowing story OF the killing of seven
stranded whales:
On May 10, as o. r. Chamberlain
was walking along the beach. he dis
covered some black objects in the edge
Of the water. and upon approaching
nearer he discovered that they were
whales. which had become stranded
from some cause or other. There were
seven of them, and they were making
tremendous effort to get back into deep
water, without avail. The tide was
leaving them. They would open their
mouths and draw in about barrel Of
water and then squirt it through the
hole in the top of their head 20 feet
into the air, and lying sometimes on
their sides it was like getting in the
cross.fre of hose company. Mr..
Chamberlain made tracks for home to
yet his gun and y butcher knife to
carve them up. On his return he
turned loose with his gun to kill them.
but after wasting few shots he saw
that he could not kill them in that
way, SO he sailed into them with his
butcher knife, and stuck them as you
would hog. That did the work, and
he soon had seven whales strung on the
beach that were from eight to Is feet
long.
lie at once commenced to strip the
blubber from the outside of the body
and inside the head. The fat was cut
into six.inch strips and thrown across
horses back and taken home and rem.
dered out, which will amount to several
barrels. 1t has market value, and
Mr.. Chamberlain will likely realize
considerab BILE from it.

Seattle, Wash, May 25.-It 10 a
strange and wonderful experience to

small two.masted schooners to the finest
type Of large ocean.going steamer.
They represent, too, all stages Of sea-
worthiness. Some are mere cockle'
shells; others are comfortable and
even elegant steamships fitted for &C.
commodatiOn of many passe myers and
much freight. For the past week they
have been leaving at the rate Of two

There Is more concentration about 1t.
Then people were leaving all during the

Of debarkation. The first vessel left
Vancouver. b. O., April 8, and it was
followed by intermittent departures Of

Insurance Rate Less.

Representatives of the Pacific Board
Of Underwriters have finally lowered
the rate OF insurance ON all business
property in The Dalles, Or. This in.
cludes the larger portion OF the build
ings below the bluff, and the rates in
some cases were lowered much more
than the citizens had reason to expect.
This action on the part of the insurance
companies is taken as result of the
increased facilities for fighting fire here
above the other cities of the class in
the Northwest. A perfect fire alarm
system is now in order. and the recent
chemical enigne and hook and ladder
tests have proved very satisfactory.

n temporary injunction to restrain the
San Francisco board OF health and DR..
Kenyoun, the federal quarantine officer.
from interfering with the commerce

establishing quaratine ON the pretext
that the bubonic plague exists in this
city. Judge Morrow said that he did
not like to issue restraining order in
so important a matter without giving
the other side a hearing. For that
reason he refused to grant restraining
order, but granted. instead, an order
to show cause why an injunction should
not be issued. The order to show cause
il returnable at II A. NJ. tomorrow.
