MAY DAY IN GERMANY.
Indications It Will Be Observed Less
Generally This Year.

BERLIN. April 27.-An appearances in
dictate that May day this year will be OBJ
served less generally than ever in Germany.
Many municipalities have forbidden street
parades or other public demon STATIONS, and
the employers organizations. as rule,
have taken strict measures to prevent the
workingmen from celebrating the day, using
the threat of weeks suspension without
pay if they absent themselves This was
the means which last year brought the
Hamburg stevedores to terms.
The social democratic national committee
has issued the usual proclamation calling
on the socialists to observe the day but
the appeal is less aggressive than usual 1t
urges the local organizations to study the
situation for themselves, and then only eel
citrate the day IL they can do so without
getting into trouble with their employers
The proclamation has been the subject of
criticism on the part of the stalwart social
lists, but the leaders in their speeches de-
fend the moderate recommendation as be-
ing the only wise course in view of the
thorough organization and firm attitude of
the leading manufacturers.

SIMPLY RAISED THE RATES.
Importations of Porcelain Have Not
Been Barred.

The dispatch from Paris stating that rep
resentatives of the Limoges porcelain in
dustry had protested against the action of
this government in refusing the admission
of consignments of porcelain because of
the report that they had been wrongly in
voiced. was shown to the treasury officials.
Assistant Secretary Reynolds, in charge
of customs matters, said that he knew of
no refusal on the part of this government
to receive invoices of Limoges porcelain
on any account. The facts, it was stated.
are that acting upon information in their
possession the appraising officers at New
York raised the value of certain china i'm
portations from France. The importers
appealed from this action to the board of
general appraisers and the cases are now
under consideration. The Treasury De-
partment is expediting the final settlement
of this matter in every way. 1t is pos
sible that some importers are not now
making entries of French chinaware pend
ing the determination of the question of
value by the board of general appraisers,
for if the board should decide that the
invoiced value was less than the real value
of the merchandise the importers would
suffer from being compelled to pay addi-
tional duties.

DISMISSED FROM ARMY
THE BRITISH FLAG INsULTED

Mail advices received by the Navy De-
partmeut give the details of the experience
of Commander Fullam of the U. S. S.
Marietta with Col. Luis Isaula. a Honduran
reNOluti0nist in the service of the NiCara-
guam army. IL is alleged that Isaula in
suited the British flag at Porvenir. leveled
a revolver at Ensign McNair. U. S. N, who
protested against that act and ordered his
guards tn cover the boats crew with VIM
chesters when that officer attempted to
come ashore at Tela Honduras April II.
Commander Fullam found it necessary to
deal sternly with the revolutionist. the out
come being an apology, which was not sat
isfactory. and the subsequent dismissal
of Isaula from the army by Juan ]. Es-
trada. COMMUNICATIVE chief of the Nicara-
guam forces.
The correspondence discloses some in
teresting facts. Isaula justified his ac-
ton because of his love of country, but
Commander Fullam did not hesitate to
call him a traitor because 1saula at that
time was in arms against it. He further
told him that by reason of his conduct
lie would be treated as enemy of the
United States. and frankly stated that
Ensign MCNair would have been justified
in shooting him on the spot.
Just Resentment.
The fact that a British man-of-war was
not present to resent the insult to the Brit
sh flag" says Commander Fullam. In one
of his letters to Isaula. was all the more
reason why the United States should take
prompt notice of the fact. and demand an
immediate apology"
Commander Fullam made it plain to the
revolutionist that the lives and property
of all foreigners would be protected to the
utmost.
Isaula at first wrote long explanation
of his acts. which Commander Fullam re-
iected as insufficient.
A second communication was no improve
ment on the first, so the matter was taken
IN with the commander-in-chief of the
Nicaraguan forces and Isaula not only
was dismissed in disgrace. but General
Estrada in accordance with a demand by
Commander Fullam. prohibited him from
again presenting himself at Puerto Cortez
Isaula was officially reported to the officials
of Nicaragua and the provisional govern
ment of Honduras as enemy of the
United States.
The incident was brought to a close by
the receipt by Commander Fullam of
communication from j. Ernesto Alvarado,
military commander and president of the
governing council of Honduras, deploring
the conduct of Isaula and pledging the
highest respect for the United States.

William B. Ridgely. controller of the cur
rency, Is not in Washington today
and could not be seen relative to a Chicago
dispatch that he is to succeed the late

mercial Bank of Chicago Mr. Ridgely
went to Chicago to attend the funeral Of
Mr.. Eckels. who was his friend and school
mate. and came back from Chicago only a
few days ago.
At the Treasury Department the belief
prevails that Mr.. Ridgely would not accept
the presidency of the bank II offered him.
The reasons given by his close friends are
that some time ago he reached the deter
mination to make Washington his home;
that he spent much money in arranging his
house here to suit himself; that he has In
vested heavily in business enterprises in
and near this city. and that II would be a
sacrifice for him TO leave here. Mr. Ridge
