Won BueloW Asks The Reichstae to
Extend The Agreement With
America.
DESIRES TO CONTINUE AT PEACE

Berlin, Feb 23.-The reichstag dur
ing the day passed the first and sec
snd readings, without amendment, OF
che governments proposal to extend
reciprocal tariff rates to the United
States until June 80, 1907.
Chancellor Won Buelow opened the
debate on the proposal. The house
was thinly occupied, scarcely more
than seventy members being in their
seats. Ambassador Tower and Sec
ond Secretary Garrett of the American
embassy were alone in the diplomatic
gallery.
rial government asked the reichstag
to authorize the application of the
treaty rates to the United States not
as a right under the most favored ma
tion Interpretation, but in order that
the negotiations pending might still
be conducted to satisfactory. end and
because it was in the interest of both
countries to avoid a tariff war. The
chancellor said he placed high value
on good political relations between
Germany and the United States, which
were a blessing to both lands, but it
would be deceptive to believe that he
would buy political friendship by the
sacrifice of Germany's economic inter-
ests. The grounds of the govern
ment's proposals were that a tariff
war, which must only be resorted to
in case of necessity, would damage not
only Germany's shipping interests but
other important departmentsSof indus
try. Although the United States would
be injured in its exports, which had
grown considerably, the advantage OF
such a war would rest with third
country The chancellor presumably
meant Great Britain
Regarding the length. of the period
of the tariff arrangement the chan
cellor said that longer time might
have the appearance of definite set
tlement, while shorter one would not
afford time for overcoming the difficult
ties in the way of a commercial treaty.
He reminded the reichstag that Ger
many's negotiation Of treaties with
other states had not always progressed
smoothly and had extended over long
periods.
1--WE are therefore forced" said the
chancellor, ito ask parliament to con-
sent to this proposal so that we may
continue in peace with the United
States The note of the American
secretary of state, Mr.. Root, to AM
bassador Sternburg on Tuesday shows
that the United States has the same
desire for friendly commercial and
political relations that we have

Guayra harbor corporation and the La
Guayra and Caracas railroad
These companies are both owned by
British subjects and are largely cap
italized. The writer Of the letter re-
ferred to adds that they probably will
suffer the same fate as the asphalt and
other concerns
The Venezuelan government has Gre
ated a monopoly Of the manufacture
of cigarettes, obliging all manufac-
turers to join a trust in which Presi-
dent Castro and his friends have. ac-
quired the lions share.

nothing of importance is expected to
happen.
Dealers have already ordered their
fireworks for 1906 and will soon have
them on display. There are no new

The toy pistol with it's blank cart
ridges will be on hand again, but the
public has become so well educated
to the danger that lies in them that
very few boys will be allowed by
their parents to celebrate in this way.
On the Fourth of July, there are
usually excursions in all directions,
taking hundreds of people out of the
city. There will probably be some
sort of program at Jackson Park in
the afternoon but aside from that,
there will be nothing in the line of
public amusements in Richmond, so
far as arranged.

AN OBJ BIRD.

The Kivi of New Zealand Has Some
Remarkable Peculiarities.
That queer bird, the kiwi, is native
of New Zealand. Its remarkable Pc
culiarities are, first, the apparent abb
sence Of wings, as the plumage so
covers the small, rudimentary, stick
like appendage Of a wing that none
whatever Is apparent. The situation
Of the nostrils at the bills extremity
is a second peculiar feature. While
hunting for earthworms 1t probes the
soft ground, making continual snuff
ing sound Thus the scent is evidently
of great help In finding food and the
reason for the position Of the nostrils
quite apparent. .se
A third popularity is the very dispro-
portionate size of the egg In compari-
son to the bird, 1t being little less
than one-fourth the birds own weight.
One kiwfs egg found weighed four
teen and one-half ounces, while the
bird weighed just under four pounds
(sixty-four ounces) and was about the
size of an ordinary hen.
The plHmage of the kiwi is dull
brown streaked with light gray, and
the body resembles q miniature hay
shock, rather badly hacked off at the
rear part, as nature has not provided
the kiwi with such decoration as a tail.
The absence Of wings Is compensated
for by it's swiftness Of foot, and the
large, clumsy looking legs, which are
sometimes used as weapons, are placed
far back on the oddly shaped body
