BY Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, June 1.-The presi-
dent today issued proclamation an
nouncing the consummation of a COM
mercial agreement between the United
States and Germany, under the third
section of the Dingley act.
The presidents proclamation in It's
preamble recites that the German gov
ernment has entered into a commercial
agreement with the United States under
section of the Dingley act, which the
president regards as securing 'recipro-
cal and equivalent concessions in favor
of the United States. Therefore he pre-
scribes reduced duties upon the follow
ing articles of German productions:
Argols, 5 per cent ad valorem; BRAN
dies, $1.55 per gallon; champagne, quarts
Sc per dozen, pints SO, half pints $1.5O;
magnums, Sc per dozen and add $1.90
per gallon; still wines and Vermouth, 20
cents per gallon; in bottles, $1.25 per
case of one dozen bottles; paintings,
drawings and statuary, Is per cent ad
valorem.
The new arrangement, it is said, Sc
cures for American export trade the
benefit of most of the present German
conventional rates. AS evidence of this
the statement enumerates those articles
of American origin upon which the
minimum tariff rate Is conceded by
Germany.
Many Products Listed
Rye, wheat, barley, oats, maize, sor-
ghum, beans, linseed and hemp seed,
flour Except oats), walnuts, hazel nuts,
apples, pears, ounces, fresh peaches,
oranges, dried apples, pears, apricots
and peaches, sheep, hogs, fresh, chilled
or frozen or prepared meat, lard and
greases, wine, timed foods, preserved
tomatoes and olives, lubricating oils,
benzoine, glue and gelatine, boots and
shoes, wall paper, abrasive stones,
monographs, small arms, watches and
cases, organs and musical boxes.
1t is expected that on the following
articles reductions of from 25 to 80
per cent have been secured below the
minimum tariff:
Timber, wood paving and for casks;
leather saddles and trunkmakers'
wares. miscellaneous leather goods and
harness; rubber tubes, wares and coat
ed textiles many kinds of paper goods,
glass plate, hollow and sheet; engines,
water and steam, and miscellaneous
machines, freight and motor cars and
motorcycles and carriages.
The statement shows that 96.7 per
cent of the total importations of
American products will continue en-
joying in Germany the treatment of
the most favored nation. 1t is ad-
mitted that a considerable number of
commodities are not included in the
list of reductions, but it is said that
in these the United States has little or
no export trade with Germany. On
the other hand it is said:
According to German statistics the
reduction of duties on American goods
under the new agreement would
amount to $6,664,000 per annum, while
according to our statistics the remis-
sion of revenue on German goods will
be only $208, ,16S. per annum."
The state department sent by cable
to American consuls in Germany full
instructions in conformity with the
proclamation.

STARTLING TESTIMONY TO be
INTRODUCED IN NOTED CASE.
Women in Bitter Struggle to Deter.
mine Which Is Wife Of Rich
Gambler,

Chicago, Oct. 28.-James Hamilton
J Lewis, attorney for Dora Mcdonald,
widow of the late Mike Mcdonald,
gambler and political boss, whose
trial for the murder of Webster Guer-
in, an admirer, will begin in Novem-
Der, has disclosed important new evil
dence in support Of Dora McDonald's
claim that she was the legal wife
Of the dead man.
This evidence consists in afidavits
and sworn statements of witnesses in
the suit for divorce brought by Mi
chael G. Mcdonald, in 1889 against
Mary G. Mcdonald, letters in the
handwriting of Mary Mcdonald and
others.
These have been secured by the at
torneys for Dora Mcdonald in defense
of suit brought by Mary Mcdonald
to prove herself the legal widow of
the dead gambler, and to enjoin the
trustees from payment Of any be-
quests or other disbursement under
the will.
The divorce bill was filed in the SUI
perior court Of Cook county, general
number 123,703, term number 3,014, on
September II, 1889, A. 8. Trude as
solicitor and A. B. Jencks Of counsel.
In the complaint Mcdonald alleged
that he married his first wife Novem7
Der 20, 1870, living with her until May

Misbehavior is alleged on the part
Of Mary G. Mcdonald at Dixon, Ill.,
June 7, 1889, with Joseph M. Moysant;
also misbehavior in Chicago and at
other places. :,
The complaint also recites: |
"That on July 81, 1889, Mary G. Me-

It will also be argued by the defense
that Mrs. Dora Mcdonald has been
recognized by the probate court as
the widow of the late Michael McDon-
aid and that jurisdiction lies in that
court
The hearing promises to be sensa-
tional, as the plaintiffs attorneys will
produce evidence intended to show
