TRADE WITH GERMANY.
Principles ON Which Ne7c CONNER
ciaI Treaty Mag Be Based.

Rerlin June 10.-The German government
draft of its views on the proposed commercial
treatv with the United States is in course OF
rrenaratior for submission to Washington IN
Julv 1t is based upon the reports of the Ger
man chambers of commerce and other COM
rnercial authorities The Dusseldorf Chamber,
one of the most influential in the Rhenfsh West
phalan manufacturing district sent Prince Won
Biilow q memorial in which these Fundamental
principles were laid down:
First-The old Prussian treaty of 1928 must
either he formally cancelled or extended to the
German Empire with binding force for the
United States.
Second-If that treaty be cancelled it must
be replaced by treaty Of comfy and naviga-
ton between the two countries. Among other
things, such treaty must regulate general nav
igation and commerce between them, define
the rights of the citizens of one country while
staying in the other and prepare the way for
an extension of copyright arrangements ana
the promotion Of postal intercourse.
Third-A tariff treaty with the United States
must be sought in which one concession shall
be balanced by another fully or approximately
equalling it.
Section 4 calls attention to Section of
the Dingley law, permitting reciprocity conces-
sions for only two years. and expresses doubt
as to whether the United States government
is in a position to make treaty at all without
further legislation and whether the United
States government could get from Congress thu
right to conclude a treaty for longer period
than five years. and then demands that in case
the treaty negotiations lead to no practical re-
suit the general German customs be applied to
imports from the United States.
Section suggests that some alienation to
the export business of each country could be
secured by the United States continuing the
lower rates OF duties German goods in the
list provided for by the existing agreement.
to which Germany would answer with equiva-
lent compensations. but not with treaty rates
throughout as conceded to other countries.
Section 6 reads:
Whatever arrangement is made must contain
provision for supplying free of cost information
about tariff matters, for the publication of off,
cial lists of goods with regular supplements
and for the settlement of tariff differences by
arbItra ton The treaty must also provide for
contestng tariff decisions through diplomatic
channels and for the free circulation of m
pies OF goods and each country must pledge it
self 20 accept the findings of the scientific bodies

SCHOOL FOR TRAINMEN.
Erie Railroad Training Employees
for Important Places.

Elfnira, N Y, June 10 (SpeciaD.-UniQue among
schools giving instruction in special work is the
Railway Commercial Training School, recently es-
tablished at this charming and bustling city
the main line of the Erie Railroad. Its primary
object is the training of young men for places
as railway station agents. Practically all of the
directing heads of the railroads Of this country
to-day have worked themselves up to their pres
ent positions from some such subordinate places

civil engineering corps
Up to the time of the establishment Of this
school there was no place In existence whore the
rudfmentary, technical and theoretical knowledge
necessary could be obtained by young desir-
ing into the business of practical railroad
operation. AS the supply of competent station
agents is equal to the demand, this school
seems to offer exceptional opportunity to young
men between eighteen and twenty-five years of age
to step into positions that pay the occupants from
$40 to SIS a month. according c the size and I'M
portance of the stations at which they located
The scheme of instruction is divided into four
general divisions The first and only theoretical
one has to do with the organization and manage

fence lie arrived at Fort Monroe to-day from
Governors Island New York. Weeks have been
spent in special drills. and the preparation of the
defence is complete.
In working out the exercises the conditions of
actual war are not to be followed. Three prin-
cipal exercises constitute the work at each de-
fence. These are artillery practice in daylight,
the ships constituting the targets of the forts:
p,actice with the searchlights at night, and
the operation of the mine fields. in which the
navy will endeavor to find and destroy the
mines. When the artillery practice is on the
mines are disregarded. This also is the case in
the searchlight work None of the big guns of
the forts or ships will be fired. except con-
structively These guns will be trained on the
target and a blank charge in a one-pounder
fired to indicate the larger shot.
Just where Admiral Dickns will begin his
work whether he will sail from his recent
anchorage off Annapolis direct to and return
to the Virginia Capes tomorrow night and work
out the problems at Fort Monroe, or whether
he will divide his feet and begin at all points
at once is not revealed. The army is content to
say that all the defences are prepared and that
a watchful eye will be kept all points from
midnight Of June IL to noon June IL, when
the exercises will end. None of the ships or
guns will be ruled out by the umpires who are
simply to compile results upon which the ac-
curacy of the gunners the efficiency Of the
searchlights and the effectiveness of the mines
will be figured up at the conclusion These
results will not be made public. They will be
used as q basis for making the defences more
potent If found necessary.
Admiral Dickins's flagship is the Texas. His
command consists Of the cruisers Newark ana

Senator McCarren made it clear yesterday
that the Assembly district leaders who have
been doing their best to overthrow him as leader
of the Kings County Democracy will get little
consideration from him this fall. Since Mayor
Mcclellan has recognized Senator McCarren and
consulted him in matters of patronage the anti
McCarren leaders have been left with nothing
to fau back on. They are pleading that, be-
cause Senator McCarren forced Tammany Hall
to recognize him, he should be nlagnanimous and
forget the fight they have been putting up
against him.
He will rot listen to their plea, however. Yes
terday he announced that all the election patron

the McCarren leaders in the districts and not
to Thomas Il. Farrell and Matthew E, Dooley.

of the election inspectors will be given TO
