GERMANY FEARS
 THE AMERICANS

Berlin, December 11.-Continuing the tariff debate in the Reichstag today. Count von Kanaitz, the agrarian leader, declared that the shaping of Germans s commercial relations with America will be the most important task before the country for the next decade.
 He further declared that the United States, Great Britain and France were by no means convinced of the expediency of concluding commercial treaties of long duration. Germany must not repeat the mistake of not denouncing in time the ex- isting commercial and most favored na- tion treaties. It would be wrong, Count von Kanaitz declared, to abolish or re- duce the duties on iron and he intended to propose the establishment of ad val orem duties against countries imposing ad valorem duties.
 Herr Singer, Social Democrat, dis : claimed hostility to agriculture, but he asked if the Emperor and the princes who are large land holders were willing to bear the stigma of profiting by broad usury'' which the tariff certainly fos- tered. He did not think that his majesty wished to profit by hunger tax but the bill had already created hatred and excitement In the minds of the masses. who were apt to see sinister connection between protection and land ownership.
 The minister of agriculture, General von Podbielski took strong exceptions to Herr Singers language. He declared that the Social Democrats were trying to .un- dermine the government, asserted that the government had done it's best to arr range an equitable tariff schedule, and said that it intended to arrive at a de- cision upon the course it had mapped out.
 The remarks of Herr Singer enlivened the debate considerably. He quoted fig- ures showing the great profits derived by German princes from the grain duties.
 He was called to order by Count Von Stolberg- -Wernigeroge, vice-president of the Reiohstag who presided at today's session for introducing the name of his majesty Emperor William into the debate.
 Count Von Kanitz said that the present status of commercial relations between Germany and the United States was quite unsatisfactory, and that the Saratoga treaty of 1891 was the sorriest achieve ment ever scored by German diplomacy.
 'The American predominance in com merce,'' said the agrarian leader, Ifs a danger to Europe and 1t Is quite possible that a few American millionaires may buy our commercial fleet. In that case German captains and seamen would be in the pay of the United States army tar if war with this country would be impos- sible because the United States sells us far more than she buys from us."
 The socialists of Germany are taking ad- vantage of the i'll feeling against Great Britain throughout the country for the purpose of harassing the government This they effect by demanding in the Reichstag that Germany shall propose joint intervention in South Africa to the other powers.

ID ORGANIZE THE
 SCHOOL TEACHERS

Scranton, Pa., December 11.-Business closely relating to the organization of la bor in those fields where there is no union and strengthening the hands of those who have embraced unionism, took up most of the time of today's session of the American Federation of Labor.
 The great question of trade autonomy is now in the hands of the following spe- cial committee, appointed to consider it: President Gompers, First Vice-President James Duncan, Second e-President John Mitchell John Mulholland, president of the International Association of Metal Mechanics. and c. N. Hughes of the San Antonio, Texas Trades Council. Among the resolutions adopted were these:
 Requiring terra cotta pressers and fin- ishers unions to affiliate with the inter national brick, tile and terra cotta work CTS alliance, or have their charters re- voked by the federation recommendation that the federation make an effort dur ing the coming year to organize the school teachers of this country authoriz- ing the federation to send representatives to national and international organiza- tions, particularly those of railway em- ployes endorsing the label of the Interna- tional Wood Carvers' Association, and in- Structfng the executive council to use every effort to secure the passage of a national law, protecting and legalizing union labels.
 The report of the executive council was read and sent to committee for consid- eration.
 The Brotherhood of Painters, Decorat CTS and Paper Hangers presented reso- lution providing that the American Fed eration of Labor compel unions in New York City affiliated with the federation to recognize the brotherhood cards. It is the old question of dual organizations The resolution says that if the fedora tion does not comply with the request the brotherhood members will take a referen- dunn vote as to whether the brotherhood should or should not secede from the fed eration.
 A proposition to organize female core makers employed in foundries was de | feated.

NEW METHOD OF
 FIRING TORPEDO

New York, December 11.-Commander
 Richardson Clover, United States navy
 attachee of the United States embassy at
 London, who, with his family, arrived
 here on the steamer Kaiser Wilhelm Der
 Crosse last night to spend the holidays, will report to the government on an ex- hibition of a working model of a torpedo operated by the Marconi system of wire less electrical transmission, before he returns to his post on December 2S.
 The inventor is man named Gardiner.
 By means of the application of his idea,
 Commander Clover said the inventor be-
 lieved that he could start stop, start again, steer and fire a torpedo from keyboard on ship or on land using the
 Marconi system in conjunction with his device, which is the apparatus on the tor pedo.
 In an exhibition of a working model in the inventors rooms in London Comman- der Clover said that the inventor did everything that he had said he could do. He showed that he could start and
 st op the propeller and turn the rudder in
 either direction at will, as well as ring the bell, which represented the explosion
 of the torpedo
 The Vaccaras and the OrIing Arnl- strong systems, the commander said, said, could do only one thing, and then
 became powerless. The different opera tions Tn the Gardiner torpedo were de-
 termined by the length of the wave. One
 length of wave started the motor of the
 torpedo another stopped it, a third pulled
 the rudder to one side, a fourth to the
 other, and the fifth exploded it.
 A defect in the mechanism appeared to be that there was no position which could be given to the rudder when 1t moved from it's normal position except hard aport or hard to starboard as the case might be. The torpedo could tonly be partly submerged A mast wave must l be used on it. This, of course, might serve | as warning to an enemy.
