BERLIN, Dec. 3.-On the resumption OF
the tariff debate in the Rechstag to-day
Count Won Posadowsky-W elmer. secretary
OF the interior, spoke in favor of the bill.
The Leftists frequently interrupted. TAX
ing strong exceptions to his remarks, while
the Rightists responded with cheers. The
secretary contended that Germany was
largely dependent on her export trade.
which must therefore be protected. The
United States had introduced protective
rates. not only against Germany, but
against the whole world, in the interests
of American finance and American indus
try. 1t was impossible to maintain free
trade oasis in the midst of protectionist
countries, and unfortunately Germany
could not follow the ADVICE that she should
take the lead in lowering duties. she
had already had such a disagreeable ex-
perience with sugar bounties.
In regard to the suggestion that the gov
eminent introduce a radical free-trade
measure, the secretary said it would entail
enormous taxation. The new tariff was
necessary to build up agriculture. in which
Germany was vitality interested. He
doubted If Germany was able to produce
sufficient grain for her own consumption,
but the authorities wished in any case to
keep out all grain which was not needed.
Germany could supply the domestic de-
mands for meat but it was not true that
the cattle disease laws had been enforced
in order to raise the price. The German
land owners were not like the wealthy
English land owners, they could not stand
a decline in agriculture and the abolition
of the corn laws. Since the conclusion of
the commercial treaties other states had
repeatedly raised their duties. Germany
had a similar right, and the man who
did not look upon the matter from this
point of view lacked sense and national
pride.
The imperial chancellor, Count Won Bue-
lists, said he wished that there should be
no mistake regarding the governments at
tttude towards the commercial treaties.
OF long duration to be most desirable, but
Germany purposed arranging them on a
basis satisfactory to herself. The interests
of other nations would be met in a spirit of
reciprocity and fair dealing, but Germany
was in a position to give effect to her
wishes with the same emphasis as other
countries. She need show more diff
dence than they. AS for the utterances
of the foreign press the government would
not be driven a hairs breadth from the
path marked out, nor suffer dictation con-
corning Germany's rights and interests.

NEW YORK, Dec. S.-The Bulgarian gov

eign ministry at Vienna, says the Vienna
correspondent of the World. 1t was writ

foreign affairs, and concludes with the fol-
lowing words:
II am surprised that you have come 10
the conclusion that the United States will
hold Bulgaria responsible for Miss Stones
death. l must regard il as certain that the
using of violence by the brigands can only
be attributable TO your protracted nego-

garian government declines all RESPONSE
bility.''
In Vienna this answer is considered most
impudent, and the hope is expressed that

sponsible for Miss Stones safety.
