GERMANY FOR MINIMUM RATES
READY FOR AGREEMENT UNI.
DER TARIFF REVISION.
New Ambassador Specially Schooled
for Task Of Drawing UP
New Pact.

There are indications that Germany will
be among the first Of the European coun-
tries to seek advantage of an arrange
ment with America to secure minimum
tariff rates under the terms of the new
at the special session of Congress- to fol-
low close upon the adjournment of the
present regular session, March 4, next.
Count Won Bernstorff, the newly arrived
German ambassador. is believed to have
been thoroughly equipped by consulta-
ton with the German foreign office and
customs officials before his departure
from Germany to undertake this task.
Indications are that the new tariff act
will be framed to take effect Immediately
upon its approval by the President.
Therefore. in order to secure whatever
advantages may be expected to follow
the application of minimum instead OF
maximum tariff rates on imports into
the United States 1t will be necessary for
the foreign ambassadors and ministers
resident in Washington TO have arranged
in advance of that date new treaty re-
lations with this government.
In the case of some European countries
a disposition has been shown to forcstal
action by the American Congress and
guard their own export trade with Amer
lea by considerably increasing their ex-
listing tariff rates, with the design of Sc
curing the basis of new arrangements
with America without sacrificing to any
considerable extent the protection which
they now enjoy against competition with
American exports.
So far as is known here, this is not yet
true of Germany. With this element OF
good faith i'm his overtures the German
ambassador is likely To meet with a cor
dial reception at the State Department.

ors Of mines Of the investigation of the
cause Of the explosion at the Rend Col

The board Of inspectors find that the
explosion was caused from the excessive
use of powder, generating large quanti-
ties of carbon monoXide gas, which was
ignited by flame from a shot and ag-
gravated by the presence of coal dust in
the mine. They are of the opinion that
