GERMANY MAY DENOUNCE
TREATY WITH AMERICA
Reported That the Most Favored Ma.
ton Part Will Be Cast
Aside

BERLIN. April 17.-The Deutsche
Tages Zeitung, the organ of the
Agrarians, which has been demanding
that the Government terminate the
most favored nation treaty with the
United States, says to-day without
reservation that the treaty soon will be
denounced. Efforts made by the press
to obtain a declaration from the Chan
cellor or some member of the Cabinet
on the subject have been met by re-
plies that the Government was not yet
ready to say anything regarding the
United States and the trade conditions
created by the new commercial
treaties between Germany and the six
continental states.
The impression is that Germany
wishes to avoid trade hostilities and
that no step is in immediate prospect
to exclude the United States from the
most favored nation treatment.

that Secretary Wilson is about to re-

DR.. Moore was asked to resign be-
cause of his alleged connection with

Moore was a cheap CRATER.

POINTER FOR MANUFACTURERS


Answering an editorial inquiry OF
the New York Herald, A. Segrara Of
Segrara & Co., exporters, explains
why South Americans do not take our
manufacturers in exchange for their
tropical products. There are two rea-
sons CD The American manufact-
urers do not make the class of goods
demanded by South America. CD
They will not allow the buyer more
than the usual thirty days credit.
On the other hand, the English and
German manufacturers nurse the
South American trade by supplying
goods in the sizes, colors and makes
to which the South American is ac-
customed, and by giving the importer
long credit, from three to six months.
Mr.. Segrara adds that a steamship
subsidy would help somewhat, and
reciprocity would help more, but that
neither device would build up our
South American trade, until the
American manufacturer lets up a lit
tie on that independence of his which
impels him to go on manufacturing
to suit himself instead of to suit his
foreign customer

IS 1T A CASE OF DUST?

The private car line refrigerator
business of the country is now under
investigation by the interstate COM
merce commission. The inquiry has
been in progress since the commits
sion unearthed such a good lead in
the Michigan fruit cases, and may
continue up to the meeting of con-
gress, when there will be something
to report regarding the workings of
this branch of the railroad business,
which is not a common carrier and
which is not amenable to the law.
The situation in the southwest is
said to be similar to that developed
in Michigan, where the commission in
duced the railroads to Civ cup con-
tracts for icing which were unreason-
able and to treat the public decently.
The purpose of the present inquiry
is to enable the commission to present
a detailed statement of the workings
of private car lines the country over
There are already divergent views
of the value of a private-car line in
quiry. One is that it is blind by
the railroads to get congress and the
public off the main question of cloth
ing the commission with power to
make rates. There does not seem to
be any legitimate basis for such a
suspicion. The private car line ques-
ton is an integral part of the railroad
rate problem. This much has been
learned since the last congress would
pay no attention to Mr.. Stevens bill
for the regulation of private car lines.
1t is altogether probable that when
congress attempts to legislate on this
subject again it will take the prin-
ciple of Stevens bill into considera-
ton, not necessarily as a substitute
for rate legislation, but as a neces-
Sary supplement-.

STATE CAMPAIGN.


State campaigns this fall will occur
in about an equal number of demo-
cratic and republican states. Ohio,
Massachusetts and Rhode Island will
elect governors. Maryland, Virginia
and Kentucky will have campaigns
centering more upon the selection Of
senators. Virginia and Kentucky will
try the direct primary plan Of nomin-
ating senatorial aspirants, and Mary
land will vote upon a constitutional
amendment which will settle the
negro question and incidentally the
political future of Arthur p. German.
In Ohio there is a campaign of some
warmth on against Governor Herrick
because of the opposition of some of
the temperance republicans, but it is
not supposable that it will cut enough
of a swath to endanger the present re-
publican administration.
Since Governor Douglas withdrew.
the democrats Of Massachusetts, have
probably lost hope of carrying the
state again. There is no other demo-
crat who can develop the strength Of
Douglas.
