GERMANY's TARIFF TROUBLES.
Newspapers Decry the VexatiOus
Application of Our Tariff.


Berlin, Sept. 30.-The German news
papers claim that the United States
government has done further injury to
German imports by a vexatious appli-
cation of the tariff. For instance, it is
alleged that penholders pay enormous
duties" because they consist of differ
ent materials.
Some journals ask in substance,
What have we to expect on the part
of the Americans If our tariff bill be-
comes law?"
The Leipziger Tageblatt (National
LiberaD says:
IF America vexes us so boldly then
we must have for America, and on ac-
count of America, an autonomous tariff
with high rates to teach that country
manners"
The discussion of the tariff question
continues lively. Opponents of the
new bill predict tariff war with Aus
tria. They assert that the Hungarian
premier. M. Koloman de Sell, recently
informed the German government
through diplomatic channels that he
would not be able to conclude a COM
mercial treaty with Germany If the
latter adhered to the bill The Neuste
Nachrichten. however, asserts that
this statement is fabrication, adding
that in the present contest the Frei-
sinnige Zeitung is as INSCRIPTIONS as
the social democracy.

WHITNEY GIVES HIS REASONS.

Beiievs 1t His Duty to Help Main
tain Racing in This Country.
New York. Sept. 30-William C.
Whitney has written a letter, which
will appear in the Tribune tomorrow,
giving his reason for deciding to leave
the English turf and race his horses
hereafter almost exclusively upon
American tracks. He says in part:
THE dominating reason for with
drawing my stable from England is the
success of the efforts of late years TO
raise the standard of racing in this
country. Certain gentlemen have de-
voted most of their time to this work
and i considered it my duty, as one
who derives great satisfaction from
horses, to second their efforts in every
way.
1.-THE sending of our best horses
abroad depreciates the quality of he
sport at home and diverts needed reve-
nues which would be contributed to en-
rich our own stakes and encourage
breeding here. ! make an exception in
my own mind of the case in which one
has an eligible horse likely to win one
of the classic races, like the Derby,
the Oaks or the ST. Leger Winning
of one of these races reflects credit
upon our breeding and is properly a
matter of pride of Americans. II is
not at all unlikely that may be found
trying for one of these again"

Washington, Sept 3O-The Senate

rows, Cockrell and Harris, at II o'clock
to-day began the investigation of
charges against Lieut.. Col. H. o. S.
Heistand of the army, in connection
with the alleged Manila hemp combl-
nation. The charges were preferred by
Maj. E. L. Hawkes., formerly aSvolun-
teer officer, and were deemed of suff1
Gent seriousness to warrant an inves-
tigation by the Senate.
At the opening of the inquiry several
important documents from the War De-
partment were submitted to the COM
mittee, including a copy of the charges
made against Col Heistand and his re-
ply to them. In his reply Col Heistand
says he was identified with the propos-
ed company and considered his con-
nection with 1t legitimate and honor
able. Some time prior to the making
of the charges, Col. Heistand says he
ceased negotiations with Maj. Hawkes.

The most important development
during the day was Maj. Hawkes. testi-
mony regarding the first meeting of
some of those who were projectors of
the proposed Manila Rope Company,
which was held in Dudley and Mich
ener's law office in this city in the
summer of 1899. Those present, besides
the attorneys, were Col. Heistand and
w. E. Harton. In answer to an inquiry
as to who were in the company Col
Heistand wrote the following list of
names: William w. Dudley, Lewis T.
Kitchener, E. L. Fawkes, James E.
Boyd, George D. Meikeljohn, Charles
III. Allen, H. o. S. Heistand, H. C.

Maj. Hawkes. produced paper con-
tanning this list, saying he saw Heis-

inspected the paper and said he thought
1t was his writing, but where or when
he wrote the names he had no recol-
lection. Members of the committee
brought out the fact that Boyd, Mel
kelJohn, Allen, Corbin and Jackson
were not present at the meeting.

A DIsHoNORED SOLDIER.
Private Whe RejOiced at McKinley's
Death Properly Punished.


Washington, Sept. 30.-A most un-
usual case has been reported to the
War Department. 1t is that of Pri-
vate Peter K. Devine, Troop M, Elev-
enth Cavalry, who was tried by a gen.
eral courtmartial at Fort Ethan Allen,
Vermont. on the charge of using dis
respectful words aginst the President
of the United States, in violation of
the nineteenth article of war"
1t appears from the evidence that
when the news of the shooting of Pres
ident Mckinley was received at Fort
Ethan Allen, Devine expressed great
satisfaction over the crime, and ap-
piled an uncomplimentary epithet to
the late President His comrades be-
came very much incensed at his Ian
guage and he was roughly handled
before he could be secured in the
guard house. He was found guilty of
the charge by the court and sentenced
to be dishonorably discharged from
the service of the United States, for
feiting all pay and allowances due
him, and to be confined at hard labor
for one year. Gen. Brooke approved
the sentence.

some Surplus as an Evidence of
Increased Business.
Chicago. Sept 30.--Secretary of the
Treasury Gage, who is staying few
days at the home of his son in Evan
ston, before going to Colorado to
spend his vacation. said in regard to
the large surplus in the treasury at
present:
"The prosperous condition of the
country must be most gratifying The
decrease in the expenditures of the
government, however, is a salient fac
tor in the increase in the surplus in
the last three months. From June 80,
1901. to Sept. rs, the revenue amounted
to $4,000, 600 The expenditures during
this time were $12l, 900, 000 This left
an excess of nearly s15,0000O0. During
the same period in 1900 the receipts
were $139, 900, 900 and the expenditures
the same. OF course, the fact must
be taken into consideration that the
revenue for the last three months was
under the lowered schedule, so that the
$136, 1000 900 receipts this year represents
a larger amount of business transact
ed than during the same time last year,
when the s139. 900, 900 was received.
lit was estimated when the present
revised revenue law was put in force,
on July 1, that the revenue receipts
from all sources would fall off some
$40, 900, 600 by reason of the ieductions
made. If. that had been realized the
receipts since that time would have
been $7,500,000 less, or SIPS. $500, 900. Not
withstanding the reduction IN taxes,
the receipts have diminished by less
than 100000 from what they were a
year ago. while the expenditures have
decreased by over $17,000,000 for the
same period.
up to the present time, however, the
accumulation of money in the treasury.
which would be the natural effect at
this time, has been more than over
come by the purchase of bonds in the
open market by the government Dur
ing the last three months there have
been bought bonds having a face value
of s19.500,000 for which over S24,000,000
was paid. The actual cash in the treas
ury has thus been reduced, and the
present excess of revenues over expen-
ditures taken care of for the time be-

A CHURCH FOR ROOSEVELT.
Grace Reformed to Be Replaced by
Handsome Memorial Structure.


Pittsburg, Sept. 29.-The Executive
Committee of the Home Mission Board
of the Reformed Church in America
laid the plans at the opening session
of it's quarterly meeting tonight for
new memorial church at Washington
to replace Grace Church, in which
President Roosevelt worships. All the
English speaking communicates in this
country will be asked to contribute.
The Washington congregation is
small and not self-sustaining,
the Home Board contributing sew
eral hundred dollars year 10
it's support. The present plans have
been prepared by a Washington archi-
tect and provide for handsome brick
structure to cost $4,000 on the present
property, Fifteenth street, near Avenue
o, but it is probable provision will be
made for a larger and more costly edi-
flee since Grace Church has become the
Presidents church. 1t Is hoped to raise
more than $4,000 The new church will
be called Grace Memorial Church. The
committee has in hand fund of $4,000
already raised.
