Washington, March 10.-Vice Consul
Monaghan at Chemnitz reports to the
state department that owing to the in
creased importation of American ma
chimes into Germany the total value OF
the imports of machinery Increases
from $10,472 900 in 1880 to $13, ,32O. 900 in
1898. The vice consul transmits two
newspaper reports touching on Ameri-
can trade with Germany. The first app
pealS to the German shoe manufacture
ers to combine to secure an increase OF
the tariff on shoes to 20 per cent in or
der to ward off the invasion of Ame-1-
can shoes. Another extract inveighs
severely against the German officials
who awarded a contract for 20 Amer
lean locomotives, charging that the
Americans made their bid appear lowers
than the German bidders by omitting
the,tariff, amounting to about 81 900 on
each locomotive. This cuisines trick
is severely criticised and there is also
a 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 a great virtus
while the bureau of foreign commerce.
points out that the American compa-
nies which bid upon the lomotives cor
rected the bid to compensate for the
tariff before the awards were made.

TREATY IN DANGER.
Senate Committee Has Upset
the Administration Platter.

Washington, March 1O.-Lord Paunce-
fote, the British ambassador was in
conference with Secretary Hay for half
an hour at the state department today.
The officials have nothing to say touch
ing the future of the pendingS Hay
Pauncefote treaty. 1t is plain to be seen
however that the action of the senate
committee in bringing in the amend
ment yesterday is not acceptable, and
is regarded by the officials as greatly
endangering the life of the treaty. If
the senate first adopts this amendment
and then ratifies the treaty conclusion
by no means certain in the official mind.
it is said, that the president will feel
obliged to sign it, placing the responsi-
it to the British government to accept
or reject.
The officials believe that the British
win reject the treaty, and in that case,
the Clayton -BulWer treaty will prevail
again, its force having. been recognized,
according to the officials, not only by
the executive branch of our government
in preparing this pending treaty but
also by the senate of the United States
as evidence in the report which accom-
panied the treaty yesterday when il
was presented to the senate.

Orders have been telegraphed to Rear

proceed with the Philadelphia to the
Pacific coast of Central America for the
purpose of protecting American inter
estS and to endeavor to prevent hOStil-
itieEs among the republics there. Ad-
miral kautz will not start until next
week.
The lighthouse board hopes to obtain
an appropriation from congress which
will enable it to provide lighthouses
with the wireless telegraphy system.
The amount asked for is $25,000. Sec
retary Long has decided not to adopt
Rear Admiral Bradford's recommended
ton looking to the use of the system
by the navy until after the experiments
which the lighthouse board will make
are completed.
For the convenience of commerce,
Secretary Long has approved the rec
