 Berlin, Feb. s.---The ReichBtag today began the discussion of commercial treaties. The event of the day was the speech of Count von Buelow and Count won Kanitz (Agrarianl. asking respect Ing Germany's trade with the United States. France and England under the new treaties. This question was asked after Count Won Posadowslxy- -yVhener. representative of the Chancellor, had spoken at length defending the treaties as necessary in the estate of German agriculture, yet In brief subsequent re- marks Count Posadosky- Wehuer did not refer to Count Won Kanitz's queB- ton.
 Count Won Kauity denied that long term commercial treaties were neces- sary because the United States without such treatiesA has made rapid progress. The United States. he said. had treated German sugar in such a manner since the Saratoga agreement that Germany's export had dropped from sls.S2B,00o to near zero This was a particularly se- were blow to German agriculture.
 Count Won Kanitx quoted pig iron statistics and costs of production to prove the danger to the German iron industry. He said America also pre- sents enormous competition for Ger mans cotton manufacturers. If things continued to develop as now, he said, all the European cotton manufacturers will have to move to America in order to hold the markets. Herr Kaempf, (RadioalJ, opposed the treaties as iri- furious to the industry of agriculture. we must export men or goods" he said. Under the new treaty we shall in fact. have to export men.
 He. quoted former Chancellor Won Ho- henlohe's estimate that only T per cent of the German people were benefited by grain duties and that only 90 per cent. of the farmers themeelves sell grain. These treaties. the speaker as- serted. arc not for promoting. but hin- dering trade.

M'CUE TO DIE TODAY
APPLICATION FOR WRIT OF ERROR
 DENIED BY HARLAN.
Last Ray of Hope Is Taken from Former. Charlottesville Mayor, Convicted of the Murder
 of His Wife.

Washington, Feb. 9.--Justice Harlan. of the United States Supreme Court to- day denied an application for writ of error in the case of J. Samuel McCue. the former Mayor of Charlottesville. ya., who is under sentence of death, and is to be hanged tomorrow for the murder of his wife. Justice Harlan based his denial on the ground that no Federal question was presented in the application for his writ. His formal endorsement on the application was as follows:
 ''The record presented to me dis closes no ground whatever for a re- view of the judgment of the Supreme Court of Virginia by the Supreme Court of the United States. The application for writ of error is. therefore, de- nied."
 Counsel for McCue, Marvin smithey of Richmond. was at the Supreme Court early today in his efforts to secure a writ. but as the court was not in ses- sion he was compelled to make applica- ton to an individual justice of the court. He then sought Chief Justice Fuller and went to the latter's house at o'clock. When he reached there he was informed that the Chief Justice was in. Mir. Fuller referred MT. Smithey to Justice Harlan. The ground of the application for the writ present ed by McCue's counsel was that McCue did not have a fair trial as guaranteed by the Constitution.
 Richmond, Va, Feb. s.-J. Samuel McCue's 10-year-old daughter Susie. came to the city today. accompanied by her uncle, Edward c. McCue. and her aunt, Mrs. Rhodes. and made an ap- peal to the Govern Sr for her fathers life. The Governor was much affected by the child'S appeal and told the lit- tie girl he would consider the matter. He also said to Mt. McCue. who is a lawyer and one of the prosecutors s counsel, that he (Gccue) would under stand his attitude toward the judiciary of the State.
 Referring to the grounds advanced for executive oIemency in the McCue case, Governor Montague tonight said: These questions not only belong to judicial determination but have actual Iy been disposed of by the lower court and twice passed on by the Supreme Court of Appeals"
 ''What about the plea of insanity7' was asked.
 Nothing whatever has been pre- scented to me tending to establish the insanity Of MT. McCue."
 There is no reason to suppose that the execution of sentence in McCue's case will be interfered with in any way.
 A special from Charlottesville says that tho execution. will take place at 2 o'clock tomorrow morning.
 McCue this evening said farewell for the last time to his children and rela- lives. Breathing, an atmosphere of in- tense religious fervor, he professes to see nothing in his approaching end but a grateful release.

 There are many matters that have de- veloped in these States that bear some similarity to the transactions on which the efforts of the Government have been largely kicked for a long periCd in Oregon and the present expectation is these will be looked into with the same vigorous policy as has marked the proceedings of recent months.

Lodz, Feb. s.--At the Goats mills and many other establishments the strikers were today paid three days wages as an advance although 1t was claimed that nothing was legally due them. The managers of Heintxel's mills re- fused to pay anything and the work men threatened to wreck the place. The military prepared to fire and for mo- ment the situation was extremely grave. but the management finally yielded and agreed to pay provided the men prom ised to return to work on Monday An other manager refused payment to the strikers but at the point of a revolver was compelled to promise payment to- morrow. Employers are paying only as a matter of expediency.
 The manufacturers were in confer ence all day and had frequent confer ence with the Governor General.

FAR EASTERN CONFLICT

Washington, Feb. s.--President Roosevelt was urged today to take some action looking to the termination of the Russo-Japan war. The request was made by the Inter-Parliamentary Union through the President of the organization, Representative Bartholdt, of Missouri. MT. Barthold explained to the President that the consensus of opinion among the members of the Union and among parliamentarians with whom he is in correspondence was that the President of the United States was the one man with the possible ex- ception of the Emperor of Germany, who indicated no disposition to try to bring the war to an end, who might be listened to on the subject with favor by Russia.
 Dr. Bartholdt pointed out that al- though Russia had let it be under stood that any offer of mediation from whatever source would be not only un- welcome, but would be regarded as an unfriendly act, such an attitude was in violation of the plain stipulation of The Hague convention of which Russia was not only party. but of which the Czar was the moving power. @
 The President gave Dr. Bartholdt no definite assurances beyond promising to consider the matter with Secretary Hay. It is known to be quite unlikely that this government will take any ac- tion looking to mediation until some assurances have been received from both parties to the pending conflict that such action would not be unwei- come. The President told pr. Bar tholdt that the date of the second con- ference of The Hague would depend entirely upon the termnation of hos tilities between Russia and Japan.

Railway Work.

In spite of rain and mud and all sorts
of obstacles the street railway company
is making rapid progress on all its ex-
tensions. A big crew is at work lay
ing the new loop on Second avenue s,
and in few days another crew will begin
on Fifth street. The Fifth street extern
sion will run from First avenue N to
Fourth avenue S, and will be used for
the Fourth avenue line. Some Of the
most rapid work of the season will be
done on this line where it crosses First
avenue S, Nicollet avenue, and Henne-
pin avenue These crossings are the
busiest in the city and traffic cannot be
long delayed.
Grading for the Minnetonka line is
practically completed and a crew OF
nearly 200 men is laying track. Over
two miles of track from the Harriet
loop to Minnehaha creek has been laid
and with decent working weather the
work should progress at the rate OF a
mile day. P. Dahlberg, roadmaster OF
the Saltwater division, has been placed
in charge of the construction with or
ders to make time. Possibly cars will
be running in thirty days.
The line is to be double-tracked with
eighty-pound rails to Hopkins at once.
From Hopkins to Excelsior single track I5
with switches several miles apart will
be used. The schedule will be so ar,
ranged that no time will be lost and
cars will meet and pass at these switch
points without delay. ,.j +.
