TARIFF CONtERENCE.
Germany Proposes More Favorable
 Treatment of American Meats.

Berlin, Jan. 17.-It is apparent that the German government has proposed to the United States tariff commission CTS, now here, to give American meats more favorable treatment than hereto fore, provided that Washington ren- ders a suitable equivalent. The Asso- ciated Press has learned from a source which has opportunity of knowing what has transpired at the conferences of the commissioners that Germany is willing to make a considerable reduc- tion in the duties levied on American bacon, in addition to abolishing the ex isting requirement of an American cer- tif1cate of inspection. Germany is ready to grant this later concession, inasmuch as the German authorities make their own inspection. The above arrange ments are only tentative, however, as definite action depends upon the Ger man reichstag and the American con- gress.

HOUSE VOTES RELIEF
 FOR KINGSTON VCTIYS
PASSES AN EMERGENCY BILL WHICH SENATE WILL ACT
 UPON TO-DAY.

President Authorized to Distribute
 Among the Destitute Such Provisions,
 Clothing, Medicines and Other Arti-
 cIes of the Navy Subsistence Depart
 ment as May be Necessary to SuccOr
 Stricken PeopIe-BritIsh Government
 Believed Not to be Fully Aware of
 Extent of the Disaster--First Red
 Cross Cargo of Supplies From New
 York Leaves To-day.
 Washington, Jan. 17.-An emergency bill for the relief of the sufferers on the island of Jamaica was passed by the house to-day. The bill is as follows:
 That the president of the United States is authorized to use and dis tribute among the sufferers and desti- tute people of the island of Jamaica such provisions, clothing, medicines and other necessary articles belonging to the subsistence and other stores of the naval establishment as may be necessary for the purpose of succoring the people who are in peril and threat ened with starvation on the said island in consequence of the recent earthquake and attending conflagration.'
 Chairman Tawney, of the appropria- tions committee, in explaining the need for this emergency measure, said that the secretary of the navy had received a wireless message from one battleship which had touched at Kingston that the devastation was even greater than reported, and that the British govern ment did not know of the extent of the disaster.
 Without waiting for the authority of congress, however, Secretary Metcalt had telegraphed Admiral Evans to send the supply ship Celtic, which is now on her way to Guantanamo, to Kingston to turn over her full of cargo of sup plies to the sufferers of the stricken city.
 The bill did not reach the senate be- fore adjournment, but will probably be taken up by that body tomorrow.

It was announced that it had been decided to send the Allegheny tomorrow, in spite of the news to-day concerning a change in the bed of the ocean near Kingston. If landing cannot be made at King ston the Allegheny will send her cargo ashore at the nearest point to the stricken city. Mir. Meyer at late hour tonight had not received an an- swer to his cable message to the gov ernor- general.

ALEXIEFF BACK IN FAVOR
ADMIRAL BIRILEFF, MINISTER
 OF MARINE, RESIGNS.

Bluff old Russian Seadog Dissatisfied
 With Turn Taken in Proposed I'm
 ternnI Reforms for Navy-Drawing
 Room Clique of Sailors at Russian
 Court, Fearing Investigation, Bring
 About His Downfall--A1exieff's Re-
 turn stirs Up the Press.
 St. Petersburg, Jan. T.--Dlssatisfied with the turn taken in the proposed internal reforms for the navy, Minister of Marines Admiral Birileff, has ten dered his resignation, and is awaiting its acceptance early next week.
 The retirement of Admiral Birileff is cincident with the reappearance of the emperor's former viceroy in the Far East, Admiral Alexieff, who, after a season of the deepest imperial dis pleasure, again is in favor, and proba- bly, will be made president of the com mission which is to elaborate the naval reforms. The downfall of Admiral Birilef, who is bluff sea dog, and who in most unconventional manner has rebuked delinquent officers regard less of their influence at court, is due largely to the operations of the clique of drawing-room sailors, and others who have been opposing any investlga- tion into the scandals of the grand ducal regime
 During the recent conferences at Tsarkoe-Selo, to which Admiral Alex jeff and all other prominent naval of ficials were summoned, this organized clique rallied around the former vice. roy, and after the temporary victory of Admiral Birileff, it succeeded in winning the emperor over to it's side
 The details of the proposed reforms have not yet been decided upon. The most favored plan is to create, in ad- dltion to the minister of marine, a commander of the fleet in imitation of the German system.
 The re-entrance into favor of Ad- miral Alexieff has brought out most unfavorable comment in the press, even the Novoe vremya declaring it to be an insult to Russia's sailor dead.
