NEW GERMAN TARIFF
What the German Editors Think
of 1t and the Effect 1t
Will Have.
SOME THINK IT IS VERY MILD
And Will Teach Uncle Sam That He
Doesn't Own the Earth
Other Views.

Berlin, July 2J.-All the papers de-
vote much space to the tariff bill. The
majority of the Conservative papers
give the provisions of the bill with
little discussion thereof, the tone of
which is. however. that the duties
have only been moderately increased,
and not so much so as the agricultur-
alistS need, but that Count Won Bue-
low, the imperial chancellor, did his
best. The DuutSche Tages Zeitung
considers the increase i'll duties set
forth by the bill to be modest, ana
that foreign countries will breathe more
freely since its publication. The Die
Posts praises the wise moderation"
of the bill, which it says renders it
acceptable abroad and at home. The
Post interpretS the eighth paragraph
as directed against the United States,
and says:
Finds Fault With Uncls Sam.
''It gives us the means to protect
ourselves against the high-handed
manner i'll which the United States in
terpretS reciprocity. This
new tariff shows a determination to in
sure ourselves a place i'll the sun in
tariff matters. and we expect German
manufacturers 10 agree thereto, since
many have suffered from the super
ciliOus morality of Americans in tariff
treatment" With regard to para
graph of the bill being the best
means for convincing foreign countries
of the value of commercial treatiees
with Germany the Liberal papers en-
phaSiZe the fact tnat this tariff bill
comes at time when German indus
tries are already in the throeS of the
severeSt crisis, and that ii can only
cause new commissions in the induStrIal
life.
Concessions To the Agrarians,
These papers express the fear that
the United States will adopt repriSalS
upon German shipping. and they also
point out that Germany's aIlies-AuS-
tria and Italy-muSt lose large part
of their German trade. Even moder-
ate papers. like The National Zeitung.

FUNERAL OF J. G. THOMAS.
Acting General Freight Agent of b.
and q. Railroad.


The funeral of the late J. G. Thomas, who
died at his home, No. 513 Sd street north
west, Monday last, took place today. After
appropriate services the body, accompanied
by many relatives and friends, was taken
to Frederick Md, where interment was
made.
Mr.. Thomas was known to thousands of
patrons of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad,
as he had been station master in this city
since 1887 until a short time ago, when he
was promoted to be acting general freight
agent which position he held at the time
of his death.

and during the same year was sent to the
Relay near Baltimore as train dispatcher.
During 1876 he was train dispatcher in
this city. The following year he entered
the service of the Long Island Railroad
Company, and remained there until 1880,
when he went south to assist in building a
railroad. Subsequently he returned to the
service of the Baltimore and Ohio, and was
appointed yard master at Newark, Ohio,

FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUs.
Only Suit of Kind Growing Out OF
Present Census.

Mr.. V. B. Archer, an attorney for the
city of Parkersburg, w. Va, has filed in
the Supreme Court of the District of Co
lumbia a petition for a mandamus against
W. R. Merriam, director of the census, to
compel the director to correct or cause a
new census of the city of Parkersburg to
be made.
The enumerators who took the census re-
ported a population of II 703, and a census
taken by the city, shows a population of
about 14,041 so it is stated. The city au-
thorities made application to the director
to correct the census. but he refused, and
thereupon their proceedings for mandamus
were taken under section IA of the act of
Congress providing for the taking of the
twelfth census.
Justice Cole issued rule against the
respondent to show cause March 20, and
also signed an order prohibiting the di-
rector from publishing the census of the
city. according to the official returns.
This is the only proceeding of the kind
taken by any municipality under the pres
ent census law.
1t is related that among others the fam
lily of Judge Jackson of the United States
court was omitted by the census enumer-
ator, and that instances of omissions are
numerous in every ward of the town.

ALEXANDRIA, Va, February IA. 1901.
Considerable local interest is manifested
in the proceedings Of the state legislature In
reference to the constitutional convention.
Since the matter was first taken up the gen.
eral sentiment here appears to have been
in favor Of having the legislature fix an
early date In the spring for the convention
and limit its membership to as small num-
Der as would be consistent with proper rep
resentation. Intelligence from Richmond
that a conference committee from the two
houses had reached an agreement in favor
of calling the convention April II and OF
holding the election of delegates April
was received with approval in this city.
Some surprise was expressed at the mem
bership decided upon, 40, which allows
delegate for each county in the state and
twenty delegates at-large. The opinion here
had been that the committees would report
in favor of membership OF eighty. The
name of Col. Francis L. Smith has been
prominently spoken of in connection with
the choice of delegate from this city.
Large congregations attended the special
revival meetings at the First Baptist
Church and the Methodist Protestant
Church last evening. At the Baptist Church
the pastor, Rev. DR.. George L. Hunt, is be-
ing assisted in the services by Rev. Dr.
Broadus. The meetings at the Methodist
Protestant Church are conducted by the
pastor, Rev. DR.. E. A. Warfield. AT the
railroad reading rooms the mission SERVICES
were we'll attended last evening. The ser
mon was delivered by Rev. DR.. Hugo Lacey
of Lynchburg. Services at the reading
rooms and at the Baptist and Methodist
Protestant Churches will be held at 30
o clock pm. today and tomorrow.
A telegram has been received in this city
announcing the death Of j. Howard Wayt,
past grand master of Masons in Virginia.
which occurred yesterday at Staunton, Va.
Deceased was well known in this city, and
his death is generally regretted here.
At the election of officers of the fifteenth
annual convention of the National Brick
makers Association, held in Norfolk yes
terday afternoon, Mr.. c. Harry Yohe of this
city was elected third vice president.
In accordance with a resolution recently
adopted by the Business Mems League,
President NJ B. Harlow of that organiza-
ton will soon appoint committee to wait
on the officials of the Southern Railroad
Company to urge the construction of a line
connecting with the coal fields Of West Vir-
ginia. The same committee will visit the
officials of the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany in the interest of securing the estab-
lishment of railroad shops in Alexandria.

Big Cars on Street Railway to Redu
Speed.

In order to meet the wishes of resi-
dents along the Metropolitan street railroad
line who complain about the noise and dan
ger caused by the running of the large

certain points to four miles an hour, the

ties: 'West-bound cars, from 14th and H
