A TARIFF WAR AVERTED
BASIS OF TREATY LAID.
GermGn-1mericdn Commissioners
Make KnOzCn Results.

Berlin. Jan. 21.-The conferences of the Amer
ican and German tariff commissioners ended on
Friday. S. y. D. North. who is head Of the
American delegation. will sail for the United
States next Wednesday James Il Gerry and
Nahum I. Stone, the other delegates will remain
here to complete the translation and certifcation
OF the protocols.
The Associated Press some days ago requested
both commissions to authorize the publication Of
a summary of the results of the negotiations.
The American commissioners prepared such a
summary and It was discussed and modified at
a session of the joint commission. In its final
form it is follows:
The sessions of the commissions have been
harmonious from the start. and nothing has oc-
Cured at any point 10 interfere with the cordial
and friendly relations originally established.
These sessions have been largely devoted TO an
interchange Of information as to the customs
methods Of the two countries and the reasons
therefor. No commercial treaty has been ne
gotiated because the American commissioners
had been given no authority to make such
treaty. but I'm the course OF the proceeangs thepe
has been established basis upon willch q com com
nerciaI treaty might be concluded, provided the
consent of the Reichstag and the American Con-
gress be given.
So far as both governments are concerned. no
committals have been made, but the under
standing is such that II the two governments
shall desire to enter into "A commercial agree
ment the preparatory work has been done.
The members of both the American and GER
man commissions feel very strongly that even II
no commercial agreement or treaty should fol-
low the interchange of views and Information
has been of the utmost value in aiding a con-
tinuance Of the friendly commercial relations
between the two nations
The Foreign Office will issue an announce
ment tomorrow identical with the foregoing.
Following diplomatic usage, the American com
missioners felt that the details OF the. results
reached ought to be laid before President Roose-
welt first. while the German commissioners did
not desire them published until after the
Reichstag elections and the reballots. which in
many districts will not be finished until Feb
ruary >.
It is permitted to add that the commissions
arranged a plan which. with the approval of
President Roosevelt and the Reichstag. Will
avoid tariff hostties. and as alluded TO in the
foregoing authorized summary. basis for a
long term arrangement TO the mutual advantage
of both peoples was fully considered.

WONDROUS RECORD
 OF DISCOVERIES
COLUMBUS TEAM HAS SURPRlS- ED EVERYBODY BY WINNING SEVEN OUT OF THE LAST NINE GAMES.

Columbus Miss. August 9-GSpecial) )- By winning the game yesterday after noon. making 1t four straight from Gulf port. the locais won seven out of the last nine games played. This is q hlgh-water record for the Discoverers and conclusiy e- ly show that the present team is by far the best the town has gotten together this year. and that they are fully capable of holding heir own the balance of the year. The history of the local team Is rcplete with mlsfortunes from the very start. This being the first year the team has been in the league, a suitable man ager WAS found with difficulty. Three were tried and not until the regns of government fell into the hands of Ace Stewart, secured lately from Meridian, did the team really get together and do tne work they should have done for some time past.
 The terrific losses at first have given the Columbus bunch such a percentage that Ii is hardly possible. even with the very best luck from this time on, to finish above the 400 mark. but the splendid team now on the field representing this NiA3 VIII NtIlhiIlY DE tue utHHh Ol puA- ting several crimps in second-place as- pirat tions of their opponents.
 Gulfport would have almost had a sure hold on the second position had the Dis coverers not landed on them SO badly last week. As 1t is the Sailors are no up agalnst it. and will have to do some tall hustlng to be next to Mobile at the finish. stewart took hold of the Columbus team when 1t was in q most dsorganixed condition and the splendid work he has done with 1t lately makes him quite favorite.
 The pitchers have been most successful lately. Wheeler has not only worked In five of the games within the last weeN. but has been batting heavily. His three bagger last Friday almost stopped the game. Wheeler could not believe 1t hiu- self Cox, the Columbus boy, has been pitching great ball, and the Sailors were not able to hit him at all. Bishop Is al- ways good and never fails to be relied on. May has been Tn the field excepting one game. He showed great form in the out garden. and made several very diff fcult catches. His pitching was also of his usual splendid style.
 Taking the situation as a whole, the Columbus people are well pleased with
