GERMAN TARIFF AND AMERICA.
Lively Interest in Results From the
New Customs Schedules.

Boston, Feb. 5.--As the time for the
enforcement Of the new German tariff
tMarch ~ approaches, all German com
mereial circles are showing the liveliest
interest in forecasting the status OF the
United States under the new law. TX.
porters selling in the American market
have grave apprehensions lest CONNER
ciaI warfare result Nevertheless. even
these circles recognize the impossibility
Of Germany granting the United States
BY treaty a scale Of Duties without equi-
yalent advantages. Persons who have
been sounding the opinions Of the mem
hers Of the Bundesrath find the same
view prevalent. IL Is also reported that
the Buudesrath would prefer to let a
tariff war break out II necessary rather
than seek a temporary palliative ia a
provisional arrangement, because the
members think il highly improbable
TINT the American Senate will be mere
ready six months hence TO make real
concessions than II Is today. The for
eign Office declines to say whether the
maximum duties win or will not be ap.

figures for the year just passed form q

months The department responded 10 81
calls to fires, ID which damage to the
amount of s7,s0229 was done The
amoun5 Of insurance involved in the

lion Of dollars Thus il viii be seen
that the proportion Of loss was very
small indeed.
The cities and larger towns Of Yer
mont are showing themselves to be dis
tinctly progressive regarding the matter
Of fire protection. Not only are Barre
ana st. Adams wen equipped, but Bur
lington and Rutland also have their paid
fire departments, With men constantly
on hand to respond to calls for their
services, Montpelier has no paid de.

dependent upon a volunteer system It's
volunteer system is doing excellent
work, however as the small fire loss

strates, Probably the time il not far
distant when the capital city win Join

regular department ID IL the place Of
the old method, a. Montpelier is pro-

This movement for better fire pfotec

Of quite recent origin and the idea has
not yet spread to ali the smaller towns
and villages Their arc still great
many sizeable villages which take a
short-sighted view Of the situation and
refuse to prepare themselves with means
for fighting fire. Several have recently
seen the folly Of their reasoning and
are installing some sort Of equipment,
while Others refuse 70 mako compara-
lively slight outlays, arguing because no
serious CONGREGATIONS have come to them
that none will. Nevertheless. on the
whole Vermont is much better prepared
to cope with Ere than it was five years
ago.
