New German Tariff Stands.
(By Associated Pross.)


WASHINGTON, January 13,-'rhe re-
vival of sentiment in favor of the enact
ment of II maximum and minimum tariff,
to meet any discrimination practiced by
foreign governments against the pro-
ducts of the United States, resulted in a
conference between Senate and House
lenders to-day to determine where such
legislation should originate Several mem
bers of the House believed the Senate
VIII be more likely to pass such n meas
ure. and the favorable action by that body
would have a salutary effect upon oppo-
sitlon in the House.
Baron Sternburg, the German ambassa-
dor. called upon Secretary Root at the
State Department to-day, and after q
short conference the Secretary escorted
his visitor to the White House to talk
with the President.
1t may be stated that the administra-
ton feels that 1t has exhausted every eff
fort legitimatey within it's power to avert
the application in March of the new Ger
man tariff to American goods, and that
II any relief is to be had 1t must come
from Congress.
