NO WAR WITH THE KAISER
READY TO SIGN A COMMERCIAL
TREATY WITH v. 8.
Volume Of Trade With
Both Countries.

Washington-Just at a time when
France is talking about imposing re-
strictions on American commerce,
Germany, with the wise diplomacy
which has been SO characteristic of
the kaisers government since Baron
Sternburg cane TO the United States
practically has concluded an agree
ment extending the modus vivendi be
tween the two countries for at least
another year. This means that the
United States will continue TO have the
benefit Of the lowest German tarif
rates on ali OF our products for an.
other year from next June.
Root and Sternbura Agree.
4 conference was held between
Baron Sternburg and Secretary Root
as conclusion Of the series OF SINH.
lar conferences. several OF which have
been participated in by the president.
AS result Of this Baron Sternburg
has received assurances that the
agreement will be put In shape for
signature so that he can carry II back
to Germany himself when he sails for
home April 3.
This will be the termination Of the
threatening condition OF affairs be-
tween the two countries. so far as
commerce is concerned. and It is
peculiar personal triumph for Score.
tary Root and Baron Sternburg. They
have between them avoided CONNER.
clal war. which could not fail to be
disastrous TO both countries.
Our Trade with Germany.
About year ago Germany gave
notice that unless the United States
was prepared TO enter into reciprocity
agreements the maximum tariff rates
OF the German empire would be ap.
piled on all articles produced In this
country. The effect OF this course
would be to destroy American trade
in Germany, which is not n pleasant
thing to contemplate. because last
year our exports to the fatherland
amounted TO the respectable total OF
$234,742, 1902. Our imports from Ger,
many at the same time amounted 10
Sl35, 1896. That means. OF course.
that we sold Germany about 500. 1000.
900 more than we bought OF her. so
that in case OF disastrous tarIff war
between the two countries the United
States would be a heavy loser.
France and Maximum Tariff.
Gable dispatches indicate that the
French government is about to put
into effect the maximum tariff against
the United States. There is suspicion
here that this threat Is caused by
knowelge reaching Paris that the
agreement between Secretary Root
and Baron Sternburg is about to be
signed
The trade Of the United States with
France Is by no means as important
as that with Germany. Our exports
to France for the fiscal year SOC were
only S97 $50. or good deal less
than half the value Of goods we sold
to Germany. On the other hand. our
imports from France were slOS.4l5, $50.
so that our sales and purchases with
the great European republic are near.
ly equal. We should, therefore. gain
about as much as we would lose on A
commercial war with France, and
would be in a particularly good posi-.
tioi TO carry It on, because our for.
cign trade with Germany would be in.
tact for at least Il year from next
june.

Let the Japs Have the Trade.

New York-If the Great Northern
steamship Dakota is lost. as seems al.
most certain. James ]. Hill will not
replace the vessel. He says that he
does not expect TO build any more
ships under the American flag. and
that. so far as the traffic which the
Great Northern Steamship Co. would
lose because OF the loss OF the Dakota
was concerned. the Japanese lines
would be compelled 10 care for II. II
was to give impetus TO trade with the
orient that Mr.. HIN built the Dakota
and Der sister ship, the Minnesota.

for wholesale reduction in railroad
rates, Mr.. Hartman called attention
to the increased cost OF everything
that enters into the maintenance OF
railroads. Even money Is higher" he
said, than II has been at any time
in the last ten years. This Is Just
the same 10 the railroads as II the
cost of labor and material is raised"

great extent are responsible for the

The appropriations OF the short ses-
sion OF congress always are heavier
than those made during the long ses-
sions, because II is customary to en-

Then. too, II usually is the case that
many members of congress retire as

raj disposition to get as large an APP
preparation as possible.
In consequence of the action OF con-
gress in passing the bill authorizing

No OFFICIAL Declaration TO senate.
Vice President Fairbanks was one
OF the few public men TO be made
acquainted with Mr.. Spooner's plans
before he wrote his letter. The knowl-
edge came 10 him through the per
sonal confidence OF the senator. but
the latter made no official declara-
ton on the subject to the senate or
its presiding officer. The law does
not require that a resigning senator
should do more than Mr. SpOoner has
done. but some senators who have re-
signed have given notice to the sen.
ate.
The Senator's Letter.
In his letter the senator says, in
part: "on the 4th day OF March in.
slant, shall have served in all 16
years as a senator. This is n long

leans of Wisconsin for the generous

GREAT DOINGS
AT THE GRAND

There were great doings at the
Grand opera house last night. Riots
and ructions, shooting all over the
place and the house packed to the
doors. The Murray-Mackey stock
company gave the version OF the
lives Of the Biddle Brothers, and the
result was highly complimentary to
their imaginations.
And the audience liked It too.
And why not2 It stands to reason
that any patron of the drama who re-
iuctantly parts with ten cents TO see
the stage elevated, wants action and
pleny of it. He can see more ara
matte strength and beauty In a
Smith & Wesson revolver than he can
in a question OF ethics. In addition
to the carnival of crime the very ex-
cellent specialties appeared. In the
language Of the gallery, the Murray.
Mackey's give the audience run for
their money.
Tonight "oliver Twist" will be the
bill, and 1t is said to be given 4
splendid production by this company.
