NO TARIFF WAR BETWEEN
GERMANY AND THIS COUNTRY
Consul General Harris at Eibenstoclc
Sends an Interesting Report
ate Department.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.-It is not prob
able that Germany ever will begin a
tariff war with the United States, says
Consul General Harris at Eibenstock in
a report to the State Department dated
November p. The subject which inter-
ests the German press most in connection
with the new tariff bill, Harris says, IS
the probable effect it will have on the
renewal of commercial treaties in 1903.
He says that the sentiment is almost
unanimously in favor of first reaching an
agreement with the United States and
using this as basis for concluding
treaties with other nations Our food
stuffs and manufactured goods, Harris
says, have gained such foothold in Ger
many that it will be a difficult matter to
dislOdge them.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.-The negotia-

United States and Denmark, looking to
the cession of the Danish West Indies, are
dragging. No substantial progress has
been made since last week. The latest
suggestion from the Danish side is that
the people of the islands shall determine
coed to the United States. The outcome
of such a test cannot be foretold, for the
strong feeling of attachment for the
me ther country on the one hand might be
offset by the great trade advantages eX-
pected to follow the cession of the islands
to the United States.
