TO AVERT TARIFF IVAR.
Only a Provisional Arrangement With
 Germany Can Avert One.

Cologne, Feb. 1S.-The Cologne Ga zette to-day prints the following semi official dispatch from Berlin:
 Full information regarding the tariff negotiations between Germany and the United States will be published at an early date but no final and definite cony clusion has yet been reached. It goes without saying that no treaty of com merce can be negotiated in the short time till March 1, and if tariff war is to be averted it will necessarily be only through provisional arrange ment. The latter would not have the character of a provisional treaty, re- quiring ratification by the reichstag in all it's provisions but the reichstag would have to authorize the govern ment to arrange tariff relations with the United States for a specific limited period, which would be short enough to preserve it's provisional character and long enough to negotiate real treaty of commerce or establish the fact that a tariff war is unavoidable"
