AMONG THEFAYORED
GERMANS ARE GIVING MOST
TIME TO A DISCUSSION OF
THE PERPETUAL COMMERCIAL
TREATY WITH FRANCE.

Berlin, January 31.-The Rundesrath ac-
cepted all the commercial treaties to-
day. This is merely a foral act prepara-
tory to submitting them to the Reichstag
tomorrow. They have been considered Tor
some days in the Bundesrath In relation
not only to the treaty nations, but with
reference also to Germanys trade with
other countries The prevailing view is
that the most favored nation" practice
in application with other countries should
continue as heretofore.
Prussias perpetual treaty with France
is perpetual in the sense that there is no
time limit in which 1t would have to be
abrogdted. Were Germany to decide to
exclude the United States and other
states from the most favored nation pro-
vision in the thirty-nine treaties which
Prussia or the German empire has with
other states, including the United States,
Prussia would be in the highest degree
unwilling to abrogate the treaty with
France. In discussing trade relations with
the United States. the controlling opinion
in the Bundesrath was that although
there was a measure of Injustice in the
United States claiming she does all the
privileges generally obtained by CONNER
ofal treaty with other states through
tariff concessions, yet Germany could i'll
afford to engage in a tariff war with the
United States because she must have
American raw materials, such as cot
ton, while the United States would strike
hard by practically excluding $50. 900
worth OF manufacturers collateral. The
effect of tariff war. II was added would
be to greatly njure the German steam
ship lines and destroy the pleasant politl-
cal relations between the two countries.
The decisive fact, however, is that all

shoulders said the grand duke we are
passing through a crisis In the interior

at base
Then without being asked the grand
duke went on:
Would Mean End of Russia.
People speak of a constitution. A con-
stitution would mean the end of Russia,
as the state would be gone, anarchy
would supervene and when it ended the
empire would be disintegrated. Finland,
Poland and perhaps other frontier prov
inces would have broke naway. Russia
is not ripe for constitution. Go out
among the peasants who comprise the
vast bulk of the empires population and
try to explain to them government by
suffrage The peasant knows nothing of
government, he does not even know what
the word means. He knows his emperor.
For him the emperor is everything. Give
the peasant vote and all would be
anarchy. Still there is necessity for re-
forms and they will be granted by the
autoeracy.
Maintaining the principle of autocracy

even more deliberately they will be
