HAVANA, March 2l.-The collector OF
customs, in his efforts to enforce the let
ter of every tariff regulation and TO col
lect every cent possible under the present
schedules, has made the merchants ac-
customed to the slipshod Spanish meth
DDS occasionally squirm and protest.
Since the customs scandal cases. which
are still pending in the courts. the lines
have been drawn much tighter by the
employees. and in doubtful cases the Gov
eminent and not the merchant has re-
ceived the benefit in constituting the clas
siications. This has increased the OBJ
jections raised against the collectors
rulings. General Wood is now having an
order prepared granting the formal right
to appeal to him in cases of this kind.
This right has. of course. always existed.
II is simply now set forth in formal or
der. General Woods action is in no way
derogatory to the work of Collector Bliss,
which is recognized as being unsurpassed
by that Of any administrative officer in

posi- ion to loosen the acrarian clutch
on tle throat of the Teutonic masses by
SUPPLYING them with the chief necessar!es
the extortionate demand for profit made by
| the baruns and squirarchy of Germany.
From a strictly academic point of view,
! for Americans to find fault with such a
state of things would be merely to invite
the tn quoque argument by way OF reply.
But it is "a condition and not theory
that confronts us. The exclusion of any
of our great productions from the Empire
would seriously injure American industry
and labor, and this Government would be
recreant to its duty to permit such a
thing. in the presence of remedy to which
resort could be had honorably.
Fortunately there is such a remedy, and
it i to be found in our right of tariff re-
taliation. II Germany DEGREES non-inter-
course with the United States in the mat
ter of our meat and meat products, it is
easy and competent for the latter to re-
tort by placing a prohibitive duty on Ger
man beet sugar. Last year this country
took more than one-third of the total
sugar production of the Empire. The
London Times recently stated that
"Germany's exports to the United States
in 1899 were valued at eighty-fve million
dollars more than the total exports to
Italy, Spain, Portugal. Greece. Roumania,
Servia, Turkey, and Mexico" Yet there
is hardly an item in the list of Germany's
exports to the United States which could
not be readily supplied from other sources.
while Germany is dependent upon us for
many things, among which copper, cotton,
petroleum, and cereals may be mentioned
as most important.
The London Times very pertinently
asks what Germany would do if the United
States were to put prohibitory duty On
her sugar? Suppose that very thing were
to be done by the Mckinley Administra-
ton under a pressure of public opinion.
We should still be only at the beginning
Of a series of attacks which, If en-
gagged in, would badly paralyze German in
dustry and commerce without any cor
responding harm to us. II 1t is tariff
war that Germany wants this country is
in a most advantageous position to accom-
modate her to any extent.

inc
NJ Cambon, the French Ambassador,
called at the State Department yesterday
and signed the papers extending the time
for the exchange of notifications of the
French reciprocity treaty for twelve
months. which will make it remain in force
until March q, 1901. Special Reciprocity
Plenipotentiary. Mr. Kasson, signed the
agreement for the extension for this coun-
try. The time for the exchange would
have expired March "A. and it WAS feared
that the Senate would not ratify the treaty
which is now under consideration, before
that time.
Ii was said at the State Department that
it was very desirable that the Senate ratify
the treaty at the present session OF Con-
gress, as the benefits which would accrue
from it would be of great advantage to the
American exhibitors at the Paris EXPOSE
ton. II the treaty is ratified the exhibit
ors, it is said, will be able to sell large
quantities OF goods from the exhibits they
will have at the Exposition. and IN this way
considerable trade will be established.
The French Government is also anxious

American Importers viii visit the EXPOSE

on Secretary Long yesterday and had a
long talk with him regarding the Asiatic

the movements of the vessels Of the
Asiatic squadron entirely to Admiral Re
mey's judgment.
The question OF dividing the Asiatic

Probable Trip of American Warship

The Secretary of the Navy has received
from the mayor of Portsmouth. England.
an invitation TO send a squadron of Ameri-

summer. and it is probable that number
of vessels of the North Atlantic squadron

The invitation was referred to Admiral

mayor thanking him for the courtesy ex-
tended. and assuring him that il any
American vessels were sent to European
waters they would certainly visit Ports
mouth. The North Atlantic squadron will
visit Boston and other points on the New
England coast in June and July. and in
August two or three of the vessels will
probably be sent across the Atlantic to
visit European ports. Rear Admiral Watson

account today of the overtures made to

kindred spirits. The result of these adj
yances was a fat-footed declaration from
Mr.. Lala that he had no use for the
league. which surprised Edward Atkinson,
William Lloyd Garrison, and others very
much.
1t appears from Mr.. Lala's description CT
his interview at the leagues headquarters
that these gentlemen were laboring under
the impression that their visitor was Of
the Aguinaldo type of Filipino envoy.
I'm my talk with them" said Mr.. Lala,
Il saw very clearly how poorly they were
informed about everything to do with the
Philippines. Gentlemen | said finally I
hold you responsible for the thousands of
deaths in the Philippines. You have done
wrong. You have made my people think
a large number OF people in this country
are in sympathy with this instruction.

The Supreme Court Trust Decision

When, on Monday last, the Supreme
| decision of the inferior courts prohibiting
| the Texas branch of the Standard Oil
| Trust from doing business in Texas it
| gave a new assurance to the American

tate is still free from that complete dom
nation by the trusts and monopolies

Der of intelligent citizens ever expected
that the opinion of the Supreme Court in
this case would be different from what it
actually was; but it must be admitted
that the outcome was watched for with
