L] \ GRS OIRE O TARIERS Slow in Negotiations| for a Reciprocity Treaty. EXPORTS FALL OFF RAPIDLY. Indistries of the Fatherland njured by the Dingley Bill. RE'ALIATION DECLARED IN ORDER. Eva the Soclalists Encourage the Gow!ing Feeling of Animosity Against This Country. Special Dispatch to THE CALL. BRLIN, GErMANY, Oct. 16.—Soon after theiew United Siates tariff went Into efte the officials of the American em- bay informed the German Government thathe United States was willing to begin negtiations for a reciprocity treaty under | claies 3 and 4. No reply of any kind hathus far been made, but preparations areactuaily making to open negotia- tios, although the pace is very slow. Th question is being thoroughly con- sided in the imperial depariments of thiinterior and finance, as well as in thGerman Foreign Office, the officials of th department of the Government being emiged in collecting and compiling sta- tiscs for ascertaining not only the effects if of the United States upon | branches of German in-| with a view of the possibility ding new branches of gooas into tt German exports. One of the princi- ps in conducting this work is Herr Wrmuth, the former German commis- sner at the World’s Fair at Chicago, wile the statistical branch is wholly in carge of Baron von Thielmann, formerly (rman Embassador at Washington and | 1w Secretary of the Imperial Treasury. fact, however Jatent, that et crisis is still on, and is considered b ounly end with the departure of Prince iohenlohe, necessarily retards the whole work of the reciprocity treaty and pre- iminaries. eous and misleading reports as to tte eifects of the new United Siates tariff on German industry continue to appear in he press. Consul-General Goldschmiat hes just compiled an official listof German exports, from which it appears that there Las been a great decrease in exnorts for the quarter ending September 30, largely due to the very great haste in crowding exports to America prior to the Dingley till becoming a law; but the decrease in the whole of Germany is only 34 per cent, and not 56 per cent as reported by the | Kreuz Zeitang. Mr. Goldschmidt points out that the | rease is mostly in sugar, evidenced by that during the third quarter of | 1596 the sugar exports from Germany ew nt to | thie United States were valued at $6,669,955, while in the second guarter of 1897, antici- paling the passage of the Dingiey bill, the exports of German sugar were near double that amount, namely, $13,980, but for the third quarter of 1897 the sugar | oT1s to the United States were under 0,000 in value. The sugar exported during the fizcal year of 1856-97, ending on August 10, amounted to § 668, showing an enor- mous excess as compared with normal vears. How terrific was the crowding of German exports in anticipation of the Dingley bill becoming a law is shown by the fact that while during the second quarter of 1896 the figures were only §13,- 837,108 for the Berlin district, during the second quarter of 1897 the amount reached 167 for the Berlin disirict alone, comprising only the northern half of Germany, while for the whole of Germany ihe fizures were about $51,000,000 against $26,000,000 for the same quarter in 1596, In other words the German exporters discounted their trade in anticipation o1 the passage of the Dingley biil fora whole quarter in advance. The German press here, with a few exceptions, has not looked the above facts squaraly in the face. Even the Cologne Gazette, which has immense influence in Western Ger. miany, publishes this week statistics claim- ing to show the disastrous effects of the | Dingley tariff law. The National Zeitung says: “Everybody has known that the Dingley tariff bill would injure German industry, and the question is what can be done on the Ger- man side to neutralize the injury. A | tariff war such as the agrarians want | =i'on]y render the situation more = Deutsche = Zeitung, a leading | agrarian organ, after speaking of the con- tinual flow of money from Europe 1o America says: “If it should prove that the commercial inteicou between Eu- rope and the United States continued as | at present, to necessitate an outflow of gold to America and a chronic stiffoning of the European money market, the Ev. ropean countries which this year will have to pay about 500,000,000 marks for the American cereals in excess of their exports wili be compeled to organize joint measures for seif-defense.” Under these circumstances it is not sur- prising that the growing feeling of anj. ity against the United States finds ex- pression, even in the liberal and radicaj pay which have hitherto peen ‘riendly 10 America. 1t is significant, forins:ance. that Herc Max Echipperel, a Sociulist member of the Reichstag, hasdeclared, in behulf of the other forty-seven Socialist members of the house, the willingness of the Socialist faction to aid the Goverament in any measures calcuiated to bringabont & state of commercial®interchange with the Uniied States more favorable 10 Ger- many than at present.

PORT ANGELES, Wasu., Oct. 16— Ten suits have been instituted against this city, based upon grade warrants issued upon First and Front street funds in the years 1890 and 1891. The suits are to re- cover jud:ment against the city for the amount of the warrants, aggregating in the neighborhood of $25,000. The warrant-holders claim that the city has rendered itself liable by its faiiure to collect funds from the abutting property on said strests for payment of the war- rants, and, further, that the city has, by ordinance and other acts, thrown all these street-grade warrants into the general fund of the city, and released the prop- erty abutting upon the streets entirely from =all obligation to pay for improving the streets. The complaint in thedifferent cases sets out in detail the above facts, to ch complaint the defendant city has inte: ven if | sach facts were true the city was not yet | Tiabe. On Monday, after the argument upon | the demurrers, Judge McClinton held w.th the warrant-.oiders and overruled the | demarrers. | Tue effect of the decision is that, taking the allezaiions of the complaint ay true, in the absence of any affirmative defense ) on the part of the . the city is liable | tor the amount of the warranis. | The only defense jeft for the city is to I plead that at the time these warrants were | issued the city was over its limit of in- | dentedness. Judge McClinton granted the city until Saturday to make reply. It is not likely that it wili plead overissue and will allow the plaintiffs to have judgment. et A PORT AMNGEL SENSATION, Wholesale Stealing in the Office of the Couniy Auditor.
