Reported Tariff Trouble
between Germany and Russia.

There is great nervousness in the German
mercantile community over the threat of
severe Russian reprisals in the event of the
German Government raising the duties
upon the importations OF Russian grain.
The Russo. German Union, which includes
many Chambers of Commerce and hundreds
OF influential business firms, has addressed
a petition to the imperial Chancellor, Count
Won Bulow, begging him to use his in
huence in favor of granting increased
facilities for the import of Russian produce
into Germany in the event of increased
duties being imposed upon grain. The
petition expresses the hope that the Russian
Government will be prepared to lower its
import duties if the German market is
secured to Russia's agricultural produce.
On tie other hand, the Union fears that
if difficulties are placed in the way of
Russian exports into Germany the Russian
Government will adopt measures, which will
seriously damage the German export trade.
L is pointed out that value from 1S3, ,OOO, ,OOO
marks in 1890 to 366,000,000 marks in
1890, and that there is every prospect ol
larger gains in favorable circumstances. In
case of any restriction of the German
export trade, says the petition, both the
United States and England would make
every effort to improve the occasion and to
drive German goods ous of the Russian
market The view that Russia would accept
an increase in the duties on grain if she
received other agricultural trading facilities
in exchange is common in the German
press. Some writers, however, hold tha
the Russian Government will prefer t.
make common cause with America in resist
ing any attemps to raise the duties on i'm
ported grain.

The War in South Africa
England Anxious for Peace

That the British Government is fully
alive to the Importance of securing ces
Sation of hostilities in South Africa at
almost any cost, is quite apparent from the
cable dispatches of the last few days
Naturally, her national pride revolts, after
such great expenditure of blood and treasure
in reducing the Transvaal, from anything
less than unconditional surrender on the
part of the Burghers, but such determined
and in way successful resistance to this
has been made that to end the War England
now appears to see no course open hut to
make terms of some sort with the Beers.
What these terms will be cannot just
now be definitely known.
The Beers insist on recognition of thei-
national independence. That Great Britain
will yield this seems hardly possible. She
is willing, however, to Judge from the reports
received from London, to meet the
Transvaalers at least half way, and to grant
! them a certain measure of self-government
under the suzerainty of the British Grown
whether the warlke Beers will accept these
terms remains to be seen, but rs England
with proper Difference to its own self respect
can hardly go farther, it is more than likely
that conservative councils will prevail
among the Transvaal leaders, and the ent
of the conflict may he in sight.

Possible Trouble Between Portugal
and France
Failure of Portugal to meet
her Obligations

The nervous tension in Europe seems to
be growing more acute and the chances of
war appear to hang on what seem to be
slight threads :.
England and Russia are at loggerheads
over a railroad switch inlChina, and now
France is talking of war with Portugal over
a question of the payment Of interest on the
Portuguese National Debt. Dispatches
from Paris to New York state that consider
able alarm and Indignation have been
created in France by the failure of Portugal
to comply with her agreement respecting the
payment of interest on her foreign d3bt
which amounts to 1,400,000,000 francs.
OF this amount French investors hold
100000, 900 francs nominally, representing
GO0,0OO,0 900 francs paid up. A majority of
the holders are small capitalists.
In 1898 Portugal suddenly reduced the
interest by two thirds. The French Gov.
ernment energetically protested, and the
negotiations resulted en- Portugal promising
gradually to raise the interest to two thirds.
This adreement has not 6een ratified.
Foreign Minister Delcasse, replying to
ex-Minster Guerin in the Senate to day,
said that the bondholders had been deprived
VI IHNh IISuto III tsu olDIlldIJ uduucI anu
contrary to every precedent. Portugars
atttdde, which it is difficult to understand,
has ceeated an unpleasant impression IN
Germany, Great Britain, Belgium and
France.
The French Government, NJ. Delcass6
added, had protested, and Portugar had
replied that she regretted the situation, but
the condition of her treasury, which was
under temporary difficulties, made it her
duty not to ratify the interest agree ment at
present. 1t was hoped that the country's
finances would soon improve and that the
negotiations could be reopened.
M. DelcasS6 finally declared that the
Government Would never allow the interests
of the bondholders again to be encroached
upon. He intended to compel Portugal to
repeal her measures of spoliatiOn. No body
in Lisbon was ignorant of the fact that the
French had means to make themselves
heard, and he would not hesitate to use these
means if it became necessary.

FlipinOS Taking The Oath
d Allegiance
Encouraged BY the Native
Priests

Dispatches from Manila to New York
state that Major Balance reports that at
the solicitation of the President and council
IOrS Of Santa Catalina, Province of La In
fanta, Col. Davis Of the Third Cavalry and
Chaplain Fitzgerald administered the oath
Uf allegiance to GO residents. During the
Washington Birthday services 1000 took
the oath In the church of Vigan, province
of IlOcos Sur. Major Balance says the
majority OF the native priests in South lloc0s
and Bangued are apparently cooperating
with the American officers and are urging
thei- parishioners to lay down their arms
and abandon the insurgents.
The gunboat Laguna de Bay landed a
crew at Tayug, Pangasinan Province, and
chased 200 rebels to the hills near that
place. The fight lasted forty minutes, when
the Americans ran out of ammunition. Two
rebels we're killed and fourteen others, in
Guiding Lieutenant, were taken prisoners.
Col. BlancO, the famous Colonel Of the
Macabebes and the former Spanish governor
of the Mariana Islands, is leading in the
formation of the Conservative party. The
membership of this party is composed chiefly
Of stanch Roman Catholics. They declare
that they are " real Fllpinos and Spaniards
who have something at stake and aim at
the acknowledgment of American sovereignty
in amicable rivalry with the Federal party"
Some of the members of the Federal party
are propagating non Catholic sentiments,
and this is partly the reason why the Con.
servatives vii! not join them. The Federals
still appear to be securing members in ell
directions.
Private advices have been received from
Panay to the effect that Dlcene, a rebel
leader, will shortly surrender. He conferred
recently with committee of six members.
of the Federal pasty and a section of tle
Provost Marshal's guard, but detachment
of troops misunderstanding the object of the
meeting dispersed the conferees before the
details Of the surrender could be arranged.

Two Former United States
Senators Reelected
Senators Dubois and Mitchell
Return to the Senate.

A despatch from Washington to New
York paper states that the newly elected
Senator Dubois Of Idaho when told that
John III. Mitchell had again been elected
Senator from Oregon, said:
81 am glad of it. Mitchell is good man,
and, if he were net, he deserved to be elected
because OF the crowd who Were fighting
him. When | was elected several weeks
ago Mr.. Mitchell wrote me a letter of
csngratulatOn, and in replying to it
expressed the hope and the belief that he
would down his enemies as / downed mine.
To-day had the pleasure of congratulating
him.
Mr.. Dubois now calls himself Democrat
He was one of the Republican Senators who
walked out of the Republican Convention
in st. Louis, under Mr.. Teller's lead, in
1896. His friends say that he could have
been elected as a Democrat, Republican,
Populist or any old thing. After it was
all over he announced that he was q
Democrat.
1t is queer whrligig of politics that
brings Mr.. Mitchell back to the Senate. He
was first elected in 1873, defeating Henry
w. Corbett, and was himself defeated by a
Democrat in 1879. In 1886 he defeated
this same Democrat. James H. Slater,
and was reelected in 1891. Then he was
defeated by the present Senator, Mcbride,
and now he has defeated Corbett again after
a lapse of twenty seven years and defeated
Mcbride at the same time. Mr.. Mitchell
is Pennsylvania and will be 66 years old
next June.
