E*CITEMENT SUBSIDES. Banking Circles. Milwaukee, April 27.—The excite- ment in banking circles eaused by the defarcation of Frank G. Bigelow, late president of the First National bank of this city, has entirely subsided and business has again assumed normal conditiops. There was a total ab- sence of any depdsitors within the re- glon of any of the banks prior to the opening of the doors for business. The depositors who for two days clamored for their money at two of the banks were given reassurance from so many sources of the soundness of the insti- tutions affected that the excitement died away almost as rapidly as it had sprung up. Interest now centers in the capture of the former assistant cashier, Henry G. Goll, who is believed to have left the city. United States Marshal Reed has enlisted the services of the city police and Chief Janssen has notified the police departments in every large city of the country to look out for him. The authorities are confident of effecting his capture within a short time. SUES ON LOST BEAUTY. Hibbing (Minn.) Woman Asks Dam- ages for Ravages of Smallpox. Duluth, April 27—Mrs. L. A.

BE REACHED FAILURE TO CONCLUDE TERMS WOULD PRECIPITATE COM- MERCIAL WARFARE. Eerlin, April 27.—The imperial gov- ernment, preparatory to excluding the United States from the privileges of the new reciprocity treaties signed re- ently with seven European states, has formally notified the American government that the tariff agreement between Germany and the United States of July, 10, 1900, will termi- nate March 1, 1906, the day the new treaties go into effect, but that Ger- many stands ready to negotiate a re- ciprocity treaty with the United States. This notification, made by Foreign the decision of the cabinet, said that the treaties concluded with Russia, Ttaly, Belgium, Switzeriand, Austria- Hungary, Roumania and Servia “form a new basis,” so reads the text, “for the commercial relations of Germany and the imperial government holds itself prepared to enter into negotia- tions for the conclusion of a new com- mercial treaty with the _United States.” The German view, as held at the foreign office and at the ministry of the interior, is that the United States cannot reasonably expect to share in special benefits given by Germany to certain European states in exchange for other specific tariff reductions, Should the United States have the same advantages without giving any- thing in return the treaty countries could justly complain that they were in effect discriminated against, be- cause from them certain things were exacted by bargain which were freely given to the United States. But if the United States desires to take up the general tariff question and arrange 8 reciprocal agreement Germany will be very glad to do so. Otherwise Germany’s new general tariff, which also goes into effect March 1, 1906, will be applied to imports from the United States. The government, in terminating the present “modus vivendi,” has done what the agrarians have steadily asked for since the new commercial treaties were concluded. ‘Washington has not replied to Ger- many’s proposal. TARIFF WAR PROBABLE. United States and Germany May Be- come Involved. ‘Wagshington; April 27.—It is ad- mitted at the state department that pourparlers have been in progress for the last three months between the American embassy at Berlin and the German foreign office respecting the effect upon the existing reciprocity agreement between America and Ger- many of the operation of the new irade treaties concluded between Ger- many on the one side and Belgium, Italy, Austria-Hungary, Roumania, Russia, Switzerland and Servia on the [other, but so far Ambassador Tower has not notified the state department that the German government has de- cided to terminate the existing ar- rangement. The effect of a formal declaration of that kind would be very serious, it is feared, and Mr. Tower is now engaged in one of the most difficult and complex tasks which he has yet been called upon to discharge. If the arrangement is denounced and no sub- stitute is found then it may be that the United States and Germany will :soon become involved in a tariff war which would certainly prove disas- trous to ome or both of the princi- pals, in view of the vast amount of trade between the two countries which would be affected. MUST HAVE MORE MONEY. “Treasury Officials F,De, sing Means te Increase the Revenus. Washington, April 27.—Secretary Shaw and other officials are awaiting the return of Senator Aldrich, chair- man of the finance committee of the sepate, from Furope to discuss with ‘im the action to be taken to increase the revenues of the government, A deficiency of $35,000,000, which is promjsed for the present fiscal year, and which will be repeated next ycar anless great economy in appropria- tions is observed by the next con# gress, has raised the question of the xevision of the tariff in a more press- ing form than has been the case since the Dingley bill was pending.
