- BY DINGLEY ‘ Exclusion of Amsrican Live Cattle | L THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1897. T HARD TARIFES Germany Has Prepared Plans for Vigorous Retaliation. NEW EMBASSADOR IS ON THE WAY. | Brings Protests Against the Increased Duty on Sugar. NO ANSWER YET AS TO RECIPROCITY. and Fresh Beef, Followed by a | Big Tax on Bicycles. Special Dispatch to THE CALL BERLIN, Oct. 3 The new German Embassador to the United States, Dr. von Heileben, recently Prussian Minister to Wurtemburg, and formerly (1892-93) Ger- | man Minister to the United States, leit | Berlin on Wednesday last to spend a fort- | night on his family’s estate previous to ! his departure for America on November. | He has received several very unusual marks of distinction and confidence from the Emperor during the week, and the King of Wurtemburg has conferred his highest decoration upon him—the Grand Cross of the Order of the Crown. Before Dr. von Helleben left the city he was in- terviewed, as his mission is of special im- | portance, in view of several questions in | which the two countries are involved, | notably tbe tariff and the Samoan ques- | tion. In the course of this conversation | the newly appointed Embassador said: | “I wonder that I have not diabetes. 1 | have been dosed with suga:r in Berlin. [ mean, of course, the remonstrance of our sugar men against the unfavorable sugar | orts provision of the Dingley tariff | a explanations and technical discus- | s on that topic that I have had to lis- | ten to at the various Ministries. The | gar question! That is what in- sts us most vitally and strikes us the rdest in the new tariff, and against that | breach of our existing treaty wita tne | United States vigorous protests will, of | course, be renewed. As yet it is tooearly | to tell exactly in which branches of in- dustry the Dingley tariff most affects German exports. Anotner three months 1ust elapse before that can be deter- ed, but I am quite certain that many | s provi-ions hit us hard. These ques- | tions 1 consider, and so does my Govern- ‘ ment, as being of the first importance The Samoan and other questions are cori- | paratively secondary. Itisfortunate that | the United S:ates is representedbysoabl e and well-meaning a man as Mr. White. Iu going to America I go 1o a feld I know, by previous experience, with the best ot in- tentions, and by that I mean the inten- tions of my Government as well.”” As to what his instruciions were re- garding the conclusion of reciprocity | treaties with the United States Dr. von Helleben would not give a direct answer, but he intimated thatin a general way he | was instructed to open negotiations. He | | | said ne was personally acquainted with | both John A. Kasson. the new special commissioner reciprocity treatics ap- pointed by President McKinley, and Mr. | Kasson’s secretary, Chapman Coleman, for many years secretary of the United States legation in Berlin. The new Em- bassador is iu vigorous health and is pre- pared to enter upon a hard siege for his country’s sake. In che meanwhile the German Govern- | ment hss continued to ignore the an- nouncement made by the United States embassy Lhat the latier is ready to open negotietions on the subject of reciprocity, and neither has the Government replied to the vrotest of the Urited States em- bassy against the exclusion from Ger- many of American live cattle and fresh beef. The embasey, in fact, expecied no direct answer 10 either of these represen= tations, bu: it velieves Dr. von Heileben will carry with him the answers, request of tne k eral Goldschm figures recardir exports to United States during the past two tri- mestres. In regard to the dem bicycle manufact the duty on Ame spondent understands on foot to comply American wheels have Germany under the scnedules govering imports of iron and steel, while in the near future they will be under a re- ciassification, graded as vebicles, on which duty may be put as high as 150 marks, In connection with the Bavarian Diets motion to- eliminate the most favored nation clause of the treaty with the United At the n Office Consul-Gen- of the German 1 increase in eels, the corre- a movement is it. Hitherto th States, it is pointed out that the Bundges- | rath alone has the power to settie the | question, and report alsc credits the Bup. | aesrath with favoring the abro, but thus far Prussia opposes il, in soite of | strong Asrarian pressure, while Saxony | and Bavaria and some of the smaller States favor the abrogation. The L.pera and commercial newspapers declare such | 2 stp wouid be deplorable, and roto | the renewea demands of the United Siutes | for the withdrawal of the prohibizion | against importation of American beet as | being a piece of impudence. The court of last resort has declared tie Prussian Government’s recent saction in | dissolving meatings at which the Polish | language was used to be unconstitutional and illegal. on, The National Congress of German Journaiists and Writers at Leipsic has pe titioned the Reichsiag to cha the ex istinig laws so as to prohibit the present mode of punishing vress offenders by treating editors as common malefactors on a par with thieves and murderers, keeping thefa in chains and dungeons and giving thern the same fare as common criminals. Winter army maneuvers on a large scale have been planned by the Emperor. Emperor William for some time past has been greatly incensed by the uafavor- able comments made ia the American and British newspapers upon his personal chatacteris'ics, and he now hasinstructed the shief of nis literary bureau not to sub- mit to Lim any newspaper of this char- acter.

The Suitsand Overcoats that we of- fer at $9.65 were made in our own New York factory, after the most approved models of London and New York tailors, renowned as fashionleaders. They were made by workmen with years of ex- perience.

Mulbauser's mission in the islands seems to b2 enveloped in a great deal of mystery. When he recently passed through San Francisco on his way here the newspapers printed interviews with him in which he stated that he was com- ing as the special agent of President Mec- Kinley. This statement was stoutly de- nied at Washington, and when he arrived here Mulhauser also denied ever having maae it. ‘When closely questioned as to his mis- sion, however, he led one to infer that he was here on a political mission.
