cision to send the Cuban reciprocity treaty to

bere Of the Cabinet After mature consideration
il was determined that it was unnecessary TO
send the treaty to the House. notwithstanding
the fact that 1t affected the revenues of the
government. Precedents were looked up care
fully and it was found that previous reciprocity
treaties had been sent directly to the Senate for
ratification. This notably true OF the
Newfoundland treaty. No objection was ever
raised to the consideration of that treaty by the
Senate alone. 1t is the purpose of the Presi-

this case For the moment the Venezuelan
trouble has become entirely obscured. and
French newspa pers are devoting all their ener-
gies to elaborate presentations of the celebrated
case Some papers assert that the arrest OF
the Humberts is' only a prelude to even more
sensational developments which involve per-
sonages in the foremost rank Of the political,
judicial and social world.
The indications are that the Dreyfus affair
also will be again dragged before the public
and that there will be a renewal Of the aniTnosi-
ties Of anti-sernitic discussion Deputy Gauthier
has taken the Initiative in asserting that the
relatives of Dreyfus are among the heaviest
creditors Of the Humberts. and this alleged fact
exercised an important influence in highest gov
e-amentaI quarters during the Dreyfus trial.
Yelled aIIusions have been made to some OF the
men most prominent in public life, some news

DEFEND GERMANY's COURSE.
German-Americans Regret Articles Calcu-
lated To Bring About Unfriendly Feeling.

German Americans in this city do not take
kindly to newspaper articles intended to rcatc
ill feeling between Germany and the United
States Several prominent who of
German birth or of German descent, and are
acquainted with the sentiment of Germans
toward the United States. said to representa-
tives of The Tribune yesterday that they
greatly depored some recent articles IN some
of the newspapers which apparently were cal
culated to promote an unfrendly feeling be-
tween the people of this country and German
subjects. on account OF the part taken by
Germany in blockading Venezuelan ports

SchieTen said yesterday, that there Is no dvsire
on the part of the German people to have
friendly relations with the United STATES, not
to speak of war. Wherever I went in Ger
many found that the common people had The
warmest feeling toward Americans. The Ger
mans of the upper class do not share that
feeling entirely, because of jealousy IN account
of American commercial supremacy. but they
would not dare to advocate policy Of hostility
to America. Commercial conditions dead
over there. Many mills idle and thousands
of workmen are without employment The
prosperity Of this country naturally excites
envy. Germany is not in condition financially
to want with any great power particularly
with the United States.
Some of my friends in Germany asked me
what would be the attitude Of the thousands
OF Germans in this country in the event of war
between the two countries. 7 told them that
in case OF war the Germans in the United
States would all be Americans. I believe that
would be the case. with the exception Of few
Germans temporarily living here who have
their interests in Germany To my mind how
ever, ii is folly to imagine that there could lie
unfriendly relations between the two countries

unfriendly feeling there may be between the
