In view of the fact that the new maxi- mum and minimum German tariff goes into effect on the first of March, and of the wish of the German Government that the hearings in contested valuation cases | should be open, the conference assumed international importance. It was pointed out by Secretary Shaw that the demand for open hearings came | from import brokers in New York, and, | to some extent, from German merchants | who are exporters to this country.

The teature of the day Was the attempt of Payne, chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, to get up his bill for the consoli- dation of customs collection districts. Furious opposition developed, and by a roll call a large majority voted against considering the bill. Azain, when the experiment station bill came up. the debate reverted to the Payne bill, and it was with difficulty that it could be: brought to an end.
