TARIFF COMPACT WITH
GERMANY IS ANNOUNCED
Reciprocal Relations Estab-
lished by Proclamation
of President


WASHINGTON. June 1.-The presi-
Gent ISSUED a proclamation today an
noUncing the conclusion of CONNER
cial relations between the United
States and Germany under the third
section OF the Dingley act The
proclamation is brief, simply declaring
the list of articles upon which the
United States grants reduced duty to
Germany and the undertaking of the
German government TO make reciprocal
concessions
letter from Secretary cortelyou
dated April is made public, in which
the secretary says that the negotia-
tions of the proposed commercial
agreement would promote friendly re-
lations and would otherwise be of
benefit TO this country.
The state Departments also made pub
lie an analytical statement of the
points of the new arran cement, from
which 1t appears that about 40 articles
OF American production, embracing
most Of the articles of trade during the
past year, are to be subject TO the min
imnm tariff rates upon admission to
Germany.
Regret is expressed that it has not
been possible. owing to the attitude of
the German government, to secure the
minimum tariff rates for all American
products, and it is declared that this
concession can only be secured by sub
stantial tariff concessions by the
United States by way of a reciprocity
treaty, subject to the approval of con-
Eress.

NEW YORK, JuHe Rear Admiral
Joseph Bullock Ccghlan, [. s n. late
post commandant Of the New York
navy yard, who retired today from ac-
tive service, declares that If he had his
LIE 10 live over again he would re-
enter the United States navy; that It is
the finest organization Of its kind in
the world, and that it holds out greater
inducements TO the young men OF this
country than does the navy Of any 9TH
~ nation. Admiral coghlan thinks
that our navy should be made bigger
and stronger. In an interview he said:
Peace in perpetuity, about which so
much is being saie just now. may be
possible, but it is not reasonably prob
able Be prepared to whip or be will
ing 70 get whipped IS the position in
which every great nation stands to-
day Let US keep peace while we have
IT, The only way to do this is 10 keep
building battleships and adding to the
numerical strength of the navy"
Admiral Coghlan believes that the
United States ought TO have the most
powerful navy afoat. He was loud in
his praise of the United States naval
academy and also Of the men who are
now eniisttng in the navy. The blue
jackets come largely from the farms,
he said. and they are selected with ex-
tremes care as to their physical fitness.
Moreover. their mental fitness is on a
much higher plane
Admiral Coghlan's retirement re-
moves from the service one of the most
picturesque figures in the navy. He
commanded the Raleigh in the battle
OF Manila bay and his subsequent reci-
tatioD at q banquet of the satirical
"Hoch Ger Kaiser became an inter
national episode.
Admiral Coghlan will be succeeded as
commandant at the, navy yard by Rear
Admiral Caspar F. Goodrich.

experiment has been given a trial OF
only few weeks.
During the first three months of this
year 33S accidents were caused Dy
streetcars, compared with 234 accidents
during the corresponding period last

collisions between cars and wagons.
That the conditions are growing
worse continually is indicated by

There were 223 accidents on streetcars
reported by the police in April, which
is a record not equaled in any Pre-

DID GRANT AND FARRAGUT
SEEK CONFEDERATE RANK?

BALTIMORE, November Am arti-
Gle in THE Confederate Veteran" the
official organ of the Confederate vet
Grams, in which the writer says that
General Grant, Admiral Farragut and
General George H. Thomas applied to
President Jefferson Davis for commits
sions in the Confederate service, is at
tracing wide interest and has been
discussed at the meetings of the camp.
The author of the article is Captain
A. L. DeRosset of Wilmington, N. c.
He quoted as his original authority
Judge Robert Ould of Richmond. Va,
who was the commissioner of exchange
of prisoners on the part of the Con-
federate States in transaction which
Captain DeRosset describes.
Captain DeRosset says that Colonel
Chalaron, who is the custodian of the
Louisiana Historical Association, and
has charge of the State Museum, has
in his possession the letters which he
said General Grant, Admiral Farragut
and General Thomas wrote to Mr.. Da-
Wis. After the reference to the effort
to exchange prisoners, which General
Grant refused, Captain DeRosset con-
tinues:
General Grant at that period of the
war was not so well known as after
wards, and l was asked the question

the life history of General Grant. Re

Davis, making the request. but that in
accordance with the terms of Mr.. Da-
Wis will, the correspondence could not
be published until two years after the
death of Mrs. Davis.

Captain Grant resigned from the

Upon the secession of the southern
states in January, 1861, Captain Grant
applied to the Governor of Illinois for
a commission to raise a regiment to
serve in the United States army, war
then being the talk. His request for
commission was ignored at this time

been inaugurated provisional president

BELGIUM BARS ABsINTHE.

Charge d'Affafres Robert W. Bliss OF
the American Legation at Brussels,
forwards the original text Of a law
forbidding the making and selling in
Belgium of absinthe as we'll as its i'm
portation into the country. This law
went into final effect on July 27th. The
bureau of manufactures has translated
the main feature of the law, which
reads:
The manufacture, transportation,

of absinthe are punishable by a fine
of from % to 500 francs, and imprison-
ment for period of from eight days
