Commissioners Appointed by Both Ger- many and Russia. Not Able to Come to a Determination in the Matter of a Commer- cial Treaty. “The Russo-German ‘tariff coztest” forms the subject of several interesting re- ports to the State Department. Consul General Edwards at Berlin invites atten- tion to the following facts, which, he says, may prove of interest at this season’ of agricultural depression. ‘The commissioners appointed by Ger- many and Russia to negotiate a commer- clal treaty have not been able to come to terms. The negotiations having failed to result in an agreement Russia announced her determination to enforce the tariff against Germany from August 1. Germany, in answer to this announce- ment, decided to levy an additional tm- Port duty of 50 per cent on articles from Russia, An Additional Duty. ‘The customs acts of 1899 empowered the German government, with the assent of the federal council, to levy an additional duty of 50 per cent upon the products of those countries which treat articles of Ger- man origin less favorably thaa those of other states. ‘The increased tariff may be enforced at once, but the decision to do so must be laid before the imperial diet as soon as it meets in the autumn. The imperial diet has the power to annul the decision. It 1s therefore impossible to Predict at this time what effect this com- mercial war will Rave on olr trade or the Prices of our agricultural products, Should the war be prolonged any length of time beyond the autumn Germany raust look to the United States for a much larger supply of cereals than heretofore. The rye harvest of Germany promires to turn out well. Still, a very large supply of cereals will be required not ouly for the commissariat, but also for the horses of the army. This is a favorable moment to push the cause of Indian corn in Germany. ‘The importation of hay and straw from Russia into Germany has been prohibited from August 25 until further notice. Tt is alleged as a reason tor this step that the import trade in these products may bring with it the cattle disease and other epidemics from the infected districts of Russia. These products will be admitted in cases where it can be shown that they come from non-infected districts in Russia. Commerce Between the Countries. Wm. D. Warner, consul at Cologne, in a Feport on the same subject says: “It will be interesting to study the re- lation of the commerce between there two countries. The statistics show that Ger- many sends manufactures exclusively to Russia, which consisted in 1891 of the fol- lowing articles: Woolen yarns and woclen cloths, aniline colors, lead and zine white, Taw, malleable and ‘cast iron, steel rails, needles, pianos, astronomical and other in- struments, machinery, xlumin.um, nickel and nickel ware, clocks, glove and cther leather, &c. The total value of the exports from Germany to Russia tn 1/31 amounted to $34,580,970. A discriminating duty of 30 per cent on these articles will, It is said, render it impossible for «serminy to con- tinue her exports to Russia. “The value of the imports into Germany from Russia is considerably greater than that of the exports from ‘iermany to Rus- sta and amounted in 1891 to $137,800,838, against $34,589,970 from Germany to Russia for the same yea “The imports from Russia into Germany almost exclusively of agricultural Wheat for Germany. “The total quantity of wheat imported In- to Germany from Russia in 1992 was only 251,290 tons,against 515,587 tons In the preced- ing year. The deficiency was supplied by other countries, notably the United States and the Donau countries. For Instance, the wheat imported into Germany from the United States in 1891 amounted to 144,678 tons, against 630,213 tons in 192, or an in- crease of 885,58 tons over the year 1591. For the first five months of the current year the import from Russia amounted to only 6,033 tons, against 126,369 tons for the same period from the United States. “In a former report I said that the staple food of Germany was black bread (rye), and it was from Russla that she was get- ting her deficiency supply of rhis_cereal. In 1801 Russia sent to Germany 18.77 tons of rye, and in 18% only 123,374 tons, ‘The United States sent to Germany 612% tons of rye in 1891 and 136,129 cons in 189%. ‘Thus @ great increase occurred !n the imports of wheat and rye into Germany from the United States, and a falling off in the im- ports from Russia. What effect the in- creased duty on the part of Germany against Russia will have in still increas- ing the imports from the “nited States re- mains to be seen.” American Cereals Favored. J. C. Monaghan, consul at Chemnitz, says “It is well known that American cereals, especially our hard ones, are looked upon favorably by German millers and bakers. Persons who should know say that Ger- many was better off selling even her own grain, grown on her Silesian und Branden- burg ‘wheat flelds, to England and replac- ing it by wheat bought In the United States. Her own grain, softer and more glutinous than ours, produces a much in- ferior bread than does a flour made from a mixture of German and American wheat. Now that Russia has practicaily closed her gates to German imports, hundreds of thousands of tons of wheat, rye, oats and barley, formerly supplied annually by Mus- covy, ‘must be bought elsewhere. To the United States, with her enormous supply of grain of excellent qualities—just those most desired by the bakers and millers— the German public must turn. “Deeply as such a conzest is to be de- plored it will not be without its eompensa- tions if it turns continental Europe more completely toward the wheat fields of our own country—the world’s inexhaustible store house of cereals suited to every bu- man need.” ———_+e+____ KENSINGTON, Mr. John Gaubb of Washington ts staying at the home of Mr. and Mrs. W.

At Mount Pisgah Church yesterday the Potomac District conference of the A. M. E. Church began its annual session. Rev. W. P. Bradley was chosen secretary, J. O. Custis, assistant, and J. W. Norris, treasurer, An address on “The Children’s Day and The Church Extension Society” was delivered by Rev. 8. F. Dennis, and one on “The Educational Department” by Rev. John T. Janifer, At night Rev. J. H. Scott preached a sermon, The second day’s session opened this morning with religious exercises by Rev. J. W. Norris. At the close of the exercises Presiding Elder J. H. Collett introduced to the conference Rev. Dr. Welch of Charles- ton, 8. C., who gave an Interesting descrip- tion of the devastation wrought by the re- cent cyclone which swept the coast of that state. The church of which Mr. Welch is pastor was completely demolished by the storm. At the conclusion of Mr. Welch's address @ committee composed of Revs. J. 8. Lee, J. O. Custis, F. A. Seaton, and Bros. Henry Dorsey and C. H. Wootten presented a re- port on the moral worth of the people of the District, which occasioned some very heated discussion. The report was finally adopted. The financial committee presented @ report on the financial condition of the colored people in the District, giving some very interesting figures, showing the finan- clal progress made by the race of late years. Rev. J, W. Norris read an interesting pa- per on “Lynch and Mob Law; What Can the Church Do to Create Sentiment Against It?" which was followed by a paper equally interesting, read by the secretary of the conference, Rev. W. P. Bradley, on the “Publication Department; Its Present Con- dition and Future Prospects.” At 2 p.m. religious services were again held, after which the reports of committees were heard. A committee composed of Revs. J. W, Lavatt, J. M. Ruffin, J. Hurst and Bros. John Green and J. A. Stafford, presented a Teport on the condition of public schools, and Rev. J. H.

Eight-year-old Sam spent a winter in Florida, and was there limited to two little girls for playmates—the only children in the vicinity. Both were charming little matdens—one a plump, heavy little blonde damsel, and the other ‘a slim, thin, witchy little dark-eyed elf. It was soon apparent to the young man’s mother that he exhibited a decided par- tality for Ethel, the stout little playmate— always giving her the largest piece of cake, the Iton's share of the caramels and the preference in all matters of play. So the mother remarked one day, with wise de- sire to equalize her son’s attention: “Sam, you ought not to give Ethel more than you do Isabel; you should treat them just alike. Isabel is Just as nice as Ethel.” It is easily imagined that the small boy's mother was somewhat staggered when that discriminating youth answered gravely: I like ‘em fat. Sean A Chinese Proverb’s Origin. From the New York Herald. ‘He'll steal your shoes 1s an expres- sion, which tn China ts used to describe an arrant knave and pilferer,” Edward Bedloe, recently returned from Amoy. “The expression ts hundreds of years old and is based on an adventure perpetuated through the medium of decorat- ed crockery ware. A wealthy Chinaman, whose gorgeously embroidered shoes were the envey of the community, was, according to the legend, despotled of his pride in the following manner: A rascal one day rushed up, gave the rich man a hearty blow on the back, and selzing the astonished gentle. man’s hat pitched it upon a high wall. The next moment the fellow seemed to discover that it was not an old friond he was greet- ing #0 enthusiastically, and apologised pro- ely. * ‘How shall I get my hat? inquired the man with the beautiful shoes. “ ‘Jump on my back and you can reach it,’ replied the schemer. "The suggestion was carried out, but while the hatless man was for his head. covering the rascal slipped off the handsom shoes and made away, leaving the simple minded millionaire clutching the wail: says ex-Consul DISTRICT AFFAIRS. Another Proposed Solution of the Tax Collection Question. AUDITOR PETTY GIVES HIS VIEWS. Why the November Payment Should Not Be Omitted. OTHER MATTERS OF INTEREST. Mr. J. T. Petty, District auditor, has a solution to the tax collection question, which he will submit to the Commissioners probably at the next board meeting. In con- versation with a Star reporter today Mr. Petty outlined his ideas as follow: ‘The proposition to postpone the collec- tion of general taxes until May can hardly be entertained by the Commissiofers, as one consideration alone would seem to ren- der it impracticable—the resulting lack of funds for the support of the government. At the beginning of the present fiscal year, July 1, there was no money to the credit of the District in the United States treas- ury, but a deficiency instead of about $0,000. Our only credit was the one half of the appropriation for the current year, which is payable by the United States. As this half will be exhausted by December, it is plain that if no taxes be collected until May that during the period from January to May the United States will have to ad- vance the money to meet our running ex- penses. This would require a loan out- right in round numbers of $1,500,000, which I do not believe Congress would grant. As is well known, the United States pays regu- larly one half our expenses and the prop- erty owners the other half. This ts fair, as the general government owns about 54 per cent of the real estate in the District, but when it has paid one half the cost of ad- ministration for the year, it hes discharged {ts obligation in full, and there is no ex- cuse for further demands. For this reason I hold that when December comes, the United States having paid its half of the amount appropriated, it would be improper to ask a loan from the general government to enable us to postpone until May an in- debtedness which we owe in November. There is no more reason why Congress should lend several millions of dollars to District tax payers, to relieve their mone- tary embarrassment, than to those of any other part of the country, nor is it at all likely to be done. The other proposition to abate 10 per cent of our tax assessment T favor with certain restrictions which I will mention. The Inst assessment was generally con- sidered a fair one at the time, but if if were to be made now it is believed that lower figures would prevail. In view of this fact the reduction proposed seems reasonable. I think it would be wise to deduct 10 per cent from the first half of the taxes if paid in November, and 10 per cent from the sec- ond half if paid in May. If more than one half be paid in November no rebate should be allowed upon the excess. By thus al- lowing a rebate in November upon the first half only, and no rebate upon the second half, unless paid in May, {t is certain that no one will pay taxes in full in November, and there could then be no room for the charge sometimes made that District funds are “locked up” in the treasury. As, with November, five months or nearly one half of the tax year will have passed, if but one half the tax be then collected it could not be considered a payment in advance, but the settlement of an obligation which had matured. The method I propose would in- sure the payment of taxes by those who have the means to do so. In the case of the poorer class who, on account of the financial stress, might be unable to pay promptly, I would favor the suspension of the penaity of 2 per cent a month imposed upon delinquents, and allow all taxes for the present year paid before June 30, 184, to be received without penalty. These two propositions, if accepted, would seem to me to afford all of the relief that could, with any show of propriety, be asked of Congress by the tax payers of the I W. E. Brown of Ingleside writes to the Commissioners complaining against the use of firearms within the precincts of the Na- tional Park. He states that every morning for the past two weeks there has been a constant firing along the Pierce Mills road and in Ingleside along the Piney branch. ‘The park police, he states, appear to make no attempt to stop ft and he asks the Com- missioners to issue special orders to them, instructing them to stop all gunning in that section of the District. Want a Sidewalk, Messrs. George E. Emmons and Samuel Ross of the American Security and Trust Company, in a letter to the Commissioners, ask that a sidewalk be laid on © street between 34 and 4 1-2 streets under the com- pulsory system. A large portion of this block has been recently improved and fur- ther improvements are contemplated in the near future. It is claimed that the street is now in a very unsanitary condition. w js the Alley Opened. Mr. A. M. Green asks that an alley on Polk street, Anacostia, be opened to the public and put in proper sanitary condi- tion. He claims that the alley in its pres- ent condition is a nuisance and should be attended to at once. loon: the Northeast. An anonymous letter was received by the Commissioners complaining of the number of saloons located in the northeast between 2d street west and 2d street east, and F street and Myrtle street. The letter sug- gests that after the Commissioners get through with thinning out the bars on Pennsylvania avenue between 9th and 15th streets it would be well for them to turn their attention to the northeast. The writer claims that in the district bounded by the aforementioned streets there are entirely too many saloons, around which men con- gregate and make it unpleasant for ladies to pass. The following three saloons were mentioned as the more prominent among the latter class named: One located at 1st street and H; one on H street near ist street and another corner North Capitol and G streets. Can’t Lower the Grade. The Commissioners have informed Mrs. Mary S. Chase of 122% D street northeast that they do not deem it expedient to lower the grade of D sti betwi streets northeast. ween 12th and Ith ‘Wants to Be a School Tr tee. ‘The Commissioners today recelved an ap- plication from Oliver C. Black, colored, real estate agent, 601 5th street northwest, for appointment to the position of school trustee. The application was accompanied by a petition signed by over seventy prom inent business men of Washington, among whom are Lawrence Gardner, James [> Norris, M. I. Weller, James 'G.. Beret, Dantel B. Clarke, James L. Barbour, M. W: Galt, W. B. Moses & Sons and A.A. Wil: Officer Malloy Diamin: ed. The Commissioners today received a re- bort from the police trial committee on the charge of drunkenness preferred against Officer Matthew Malloy, to which he pleaded guilty. The report 1s accom. panted by the recommendation that he be removed from the force. His recor, es shown by the committee, Is not one of the best. He was appointed ou the force April to the second class. He was tried tor int toxication August 12, 1891, and fined $20. He was again tried on the same charce and gross neglect of duty March 1, 183, and dismissed from the force. He was re. appointed June 1, 1893. The finding of the committee was concurred in by Major Moore and approved by the Commission- ers. Malloy has not been on the date of his intoxication," “""Y since Another Protest Promised. Henry E. Pellew of 1637 Massachusetts av- enue writes to the Commissioners asking that they withhold judgment on the peti- tion of the Washington Traction Company for right of way yp I7th street until the residents of that section can unite in a pe- tition to the Commissioners _ protesting against such a franchise being granted. He States that the majority of property own- ers of that locality are out of the city. The complaint of John Keefe of the un- sanitary condition of O street between Ist and 24 streets northwest, which was re- ferred to the health department, has been returned with the report that the property along thac street is unimproved and in an unsanitary condition. The south side of the street is overgrown with weeds and the defects in the grade causes an accumula- 3 SS ————————————S——————— ey tion of foul and stagnant water, creating a nuisance and affecting the health of the neighborhood. The suggestion is made that the street should be improved in the inter- ests of public health. The Need for More Sewers. Engineer Commissioner Powell, in re- ferring to Dr. Hammett’s report of the reat need for more sewers in the city, said: “The statement ts unquestionably @ correct one. We need sewers badly and I am put- ting forth every endeavor to get them, but on account of lack of funds we naturally make slow progress in this direction. I have asked Dr. Hammett several times to furnish me with a list of sewers most need- ed, but he has not as yet done so. I fully realize the situation, and am aware that the health of the community demands in- creased sewer facilities. I feel assured that Congress will take some decisive action in this regard very soon, and our appropria- tion for 1895 will be sufficiently increased to justify us in a great measure in making the necessary improvements and additions to our sewerage system.” Nuisances Reported. ‘The folowing nutsances have been report- ed to the Commissioners by the health office: Gutter on west side of 12th street between South Carolina avenue and C street southeast needs draining and cleaning; filthy sewer trap corner 34 and G streets southeast, and corner 15th street and Mary- land avenue southeast; leak in water main in front of 3111 M street; hydrant out of order corner 2ith and | N streets northwest: langerous hole in si ‘opposite Prospect avenue northwest; obstructed sewer trap northwest corner 30th and Dun- barton avenue northwest. Mr. Dodge's Protest. W. C. Dodge of 116 B street northeast asks the Commissioners to appoint a date when they will hear him in regard to Sen- ate bill 807 in regard to granting franchise to the Washington Central Railway Com- pany. He desires to enter a protest against the laying of tracks on B street from Ist to Maryland avenue northeast. Bui ‘= Permits. ‘The following building permits have been issued by the inspector of buildings to- day: Charles G. Stott to erect two-story brick dwelling, 1807 Belmot avenue; $6,500. R. V. Rusk to move one-story frame dwell- ing, 1215 34 street southwest, twenty feet south; $100, G. W. Flather to repair house ilo New York avenue northwest; $175. Miscellaneous. Mr. P. H.

Atkinson of the Navy Department recommending Lewis A. Cor- nish for reappointment to the position of school trustee. ‘The Commissioners have appointed Emory Tull an additional policeman at Kernan's Lyceum Theater. The American Medical Surgical Bulletin of New York have addressed a letter to the Commissioners asking for a list of licensed private asylums, homes and sanitariums in the District. Daniel Murray, assistant librarian of Con- gress, in a letter to the Commissioners, recommends the reappointment of Mr. Louis A. Cornish to be a school trustee. ‘The Commissioners have approved the pe- tition of Alice Lee Batson, asking that the taxes on her property, located on the Hamil- ton road, be canceled. J. J. Condon was today appointed foreman in the sewer department. TARIFF HEAR NG TODAY. The Duty on Hosiery, Cotton Goods, derwear, &c., Discussed. Maurice Lowry, representing New York importers of knit goods, gloves and hosiery cpencd the hearing before the ways and means committee today with the request that the new tariff be so framed as to pre- vent undervaluation and fraud, He favored @ small advalorem duty and a higher spe- cific duty. Cotton hostery he would tax ct 20 per cent ad valorem and 4 cents per dozen; hosiery in the rough, for dyeing, 20 per cent ad valorem and 30 cents per dozen; hosiery silk or part silk, 25 per cent ad valorem and $i per dozen; and that of wool or part wool 35 per cent ad valorem and 50 cents per pound. The duty on cotton gloves he wanted fixed at 15 per cent ad valorem and 15 cents per dozen; silk or part silk, 15 per cent ad valorem and &0 cents per dozen; and on those composed of wool or part wool, 25 per cent ad valorem and 50 cents per pound. J. H. Smith of New York, a dyer and finisher of hosiery, asked for a higher duty on dyed or unfinished goods. Under the present law no distinction was made be- tween the dyed or finished or the undyed or unfinished products. Replyng to a question by Mr. Tarsney, he said that the business he represented had been established without protection. Mr. Reed asked if the duty on white or uncolored goods was not from 4 to $ cents a dozen. Mr. Smith replied that tt was. Mr. Reed asked if this was not protec- tion. Mr. Smith acknowledged that it was, but stated it was not sufficient on account of the reduction In the prices of forcign goods. Chairman Wilson here declared that Mr. Smith's time had expired, and called at- tention to the number of people who were to follow. Mr. Reed said he thought that members should have a chance to cross-examine wit- nesses, adding that there was plenty of time. ‘To Clone on the 20th Instant. Mr. Wilson said that the committee had decided to close the hearings on the 20th instant. Mr. Reed said there was no reason why the committee should not go on till then. Mr, Smith retired and Mr. Osbourn of Philadelphia took the floor in behalf of cot- ton goods, hosiery, underwear, etc. The present rates, he sald, should be maintained on these articles. They had increased the Production of these goods, lowered their prices, increased the number of persons employed, and raised their pay. The foreigner paid the tax. The law of i8% had stimulated this industry and any reduction of tariff rates on these goods would drive the industry from the strong position it had John O'Connell, representing a number of New York merchants, dealers in foreign goods, asked for a reduction in the duties on cotton, woolen and other goods. He said that those he representedwant a specific duty, as it prevented undervaluation. ‘The merchants anticipated a reduction in the tariff rates, but did not want the new law to go into effect before July, 1&4, as it would take them this long to adjust their affairs. Bir. Eeicer of Whi Mass., spoke for the retention of the present duty on cotton goods, especially underwear. ——-o-______ THE MOLE ST. NICHOLAS. Another Effort to Re Made to Secure It as 2 Coaling Station. The United States will make another ef- fort to secure the mole St. Nicholas, Hayti, for use as a coaling station. Negotiations to that end will be reopened by Mr. Henry M. Smythe, the new minister resident at Hayti, as soon as he arrives in that country. Mole St. Nicholas has been a subject of dipiomat- fe negotiation for many years, and at one time the United States through ex-minister Frederick Douglass had practically con- cluded a treaty for its acquirement as a coaling station when Hayti for some unex- plained reason abruptly terminated the Negotiations Some surprise has been ex- pressed at the appointment of a white man to represent the United States in the black republic as such appointments have hereto- fore usually been given to colored men. It seems that the State Department received an intimation that while the Haytiens them- selves were of ni blood, they considered that the United States did’ not have a due regard for the dignity of the Haytien re- public in selecting negroes as its diplomatic representatives there because of the social standing of the negroes in this country. To offset this feeling it was decided this time to send a white man to Port au Prince, and Mr. Smythe was the person chosen. Department News From Cherokee Strip.
