TRADE AGREEMENT
Germany and United States Enter
Into an Arrangement Providing
for Lower Tariff Schedules.
FOR An INDEFINITE PERIOD
The Reduction Extends 70 About s7
Per Cent Of American imports
While to Germany II Relates
Principally to champauhe.

| Washington, May 4.-The project
Of commercial agreement" between
America and Germany to govern the
trade relations Of the two countries
for an indefinite period is composed Of
four distinct portions. The agreement
extends to Germany the reductions of
duty authorized on all Of the articles
mentioned In the third section Of the
Dingley act. This amounts simply
to the addition of champagnes and
sparkling wines to the list Of articles
upon which Germany has reduced
rates. In 1906 the total imports in
to America of German champagne
were o,2S6 dozen quarts, valued at
$9S,97O. The reduction Of duty on
this champagne at 50 per bottle would
consequently amount to little more
than $4,000, which is the monetary
value Of one concession to Germany,
supposing the trade does not greatly
increase, as Of course is to be expect
ed.
Other article provide for the speedy
appliation of the new rates; to their
extension to the whole custom terri
tory Of the parties and to the conces-
sion Of a list Of American articles
upon which minimum rates will apply
on importations into Germany.
The second part Of the agreement
details the list Of articles above re-
ferred to. At present all American
products are admitted into Germany
at minimum tariff rates. Hereafter,
under this new agreement only those
articles specified may be admitted.
It is stated in fact that the list COM
prises 97s per cent Of the American
imports into Germany and appears,
generally speaking to comprise grain,
fruit, timber, meats Except bacon),
petroleum and its products, leather
goods including shoes, certain classes
Of India rubber goods, paper and
pdpOT bOOChb DIOhOo1 bASoo"NASb ASA
road iron mot mentioning rails),
steam and gas engines, monographs,
vehicles, small arms, locks. watches
and parts thereof and music boxes
and organs.
The third section comprises the
draft Of a proposed note embodying
changes to be made in the existing
American instructions to customs and
consular officers. These changes also
are applicable to imports into America
from many other countries.
The last section Of the document Is
an undertaking by the president to
to congress the amend
ment Of section 80 Of the Dingley act
50 as to allow 10 per cent margin
In the case Of under valuations before
penalty shall be imposed upon the i'm

THEY BLAME THE SAILORS
Santiago Newspapers Say They
Started the Trouble There.
They Declare IntoIerabIe Conduct Of
seamen Places q Stigma on the
Name Of This Nation.

Washington, May 1.-THE Difficult
ty between the police In Santiago and
the seamen from the cruiser Tacoma
on Tuesday last was brought up
by secretary Taft at the cabinet meet
ing Friday, the secretary laying be-
fore the president all information re-
ceived from Governor Magoon.
Mr.. Taft remained with the presi-
dent after the other secretaries had
departed and was Joined by General
Bell, chief of the army staff.
Governor Magoon reported that, in
conformity with the secretary's direc-
ton, he dispatched Lieutenant Colonel
Robert L. Billiard to the scene Of the
attack to make an independent inyes-
tigation. The governor reports that
in his opinion the trouble between
the police and sailors at Santiago was
purely individual and not in any sense
the result Of any general ill-feeling
between the Americans and Cubans.
He adds that American interests in
are larger than at any other
point in Cuba. Upon tbs report 1t
has been decided to await the outcome
Of the various official Investigations
In progress before taking any further
steps.

grandmother and sister and home. but
that she loved Mr.. Cooke better and

WHEAT CROP A
Winter and Spring Yield to Fall Be-
low Last Year.

OE -
low Last Year.
New York City.-'It is HOW def
nitely assured that the aggregate
winter and spring wheat crop of 1907
will fall short of last year." The
American Agriculturist says: "The
average condition of winter wheat as
reported by our correspondents on
July 1 was 74.6.
This is very low, and can only be
taken as ~presaging the rate of yield
an acre, which will closely approach
the minimum of any recent year.
Spring wheat, on the other hand, has
about held its own. 1t would seem
that the present promise for all wheat
in this country this season, both win
ter and spring, is about sos, 900 900
bushels, against a crop last year CT
TIC, 900 bushels.
Our correspondents returns in
dictate that the acreage devoted to
corn is the largest on record, total
ing 97,911,000, against 600
acres in 1906, which up to that time
was the h~igh-water mark, and in it
self constituted an area equal to
that of many of the principalities of
the Old World.
1.-The heaviest increase in the corn
acreage this season is in the Ohio
Valley, the transmissouri country and
the Southwest. Average condition of
the crop on July l was $50, against
1915 in 1906, and a f1ve-year average
of 81.
1.-The oats situation in the last
month has shown little change, the
condition on July 1 being 80.3. This
conditional figure when 'transposed
into bushels an acre would indicate a
crop of about $50, 100000 bushels,
against a yield of 100000 BUSH
els last year"
