ADVANCING TARIFF RATES.
Germans Tinkering with Schedules
That VIII Not Re Accepted.

BERLIN, April 16.-The tariff committee
the bacon clause of the new bill, has fixed
the duty on bacon at SO marks per double
hundredweight, but it is not subject to the
minimum tariff for reciprocity purposes as
i'm the cases of other meats. The duty on
meat extracts was fixed at 30 marks and
the duty on sausages was made 10 marks
instead of 40 marks, as proposed by the
government
The imperial secretary of state for the
interior. Count Won Observation-Disclosures.
in the course of the discussion declared
that the duties imposed by the committee
on cattle and meat were not acceptable
to the government. After an indecisive
discussion on the subject of the prohibi-
ton of the Importation of meats. etc.
treated with bOracic acid, the committee
adjourned.
BERLIN, April 6.-Herr Antrick. Social
list. alluded TO the prohibition of meats pre-
pared with boracic acid, before the tariff
committee, as a piece of governmental hy-
pocrisy and said the Americans were right
in -pronouncing it a hygienic humbug. He
cited the opinion of a German chemical
society to the effect that this prohibition
was unjustifable. Herr Antrick concluded
by saying: Such measures can only lead
to a tariff war"
Count Won Observation-Disclosures said. in
defense of the Ministry that the govern
ment could only depend upon technical ad-
vice, tina American views could not be
considered and that the interests of do
nestle meat producers could not be re-
garded as the deciding voice i'm the matter.
He said the government was supported
unanimously by the imperial health office
and the health council. whose opinions must
be respected. OF course. said the secre-
tary OF state for the interior. the entire
council has not been consulted but the adj
vice of that division of the council having
the supervision of such questions as the
above has been taken.
The foregoing remark was an outgrowth
Of the discussion of the meat duties. AT
ter the adoption of the agrarian increases
Count Won Observation-Disclosures again
plainly said that the meat and cattle
amendments were absolutely unacceptable
TO the government.

Anti-American Germans Busy Again.

NEW YORK, April 16.-"Anti-American
German papers are ~scrambling over one
another to show that they have not deserted
their standards" says a Herald dispatch
from Berlin. "The Kreuz Zeitung devotes
columns to the alleged cruelties inflicted
by United States soldiers in the Philippines
and represents Imperialism as marching
onward. The rumored invitation to the
Prime of Wales stirs UP a fit of resentment
of the attitude of Great Britain during the
Spanish-American war that the United
States would feel itself drawn closer to
Germany. Although it is denied that the
crown prince will be sent to the United
States in case the Prince of Wales Is en-
tertained there, il is true that another
mark of high respect is being planned to
prevent another e-strangement between the
two countries

Secretary Root to-day transmitted TO the
chairman of the Senate military committee
an opinion rendered by General Davis,
judge advocate general. in response to the
inquiry of the committee as to the statute
law under which the brevet nominations
recently received by the committee were
made. 1T would appear" says Secretary
Root, that the rules that a statute shall
receive a reasonable Interpretation; that it
shall be construed with reference TO the
evil which il was intended to remedy, and
long continued practice interpreted by an
executive department, cOncurred in by the
Senate, all require the adherence to the
view expressed by the judge advocate gen.
eral. The view referred TO is, in sub
stance. that there is power under the stat
utes TO make the brevets, and the date Of
NhN AAlAhNo hO Al1ANl a III

made in time of war.
