The return of the baron indicates that the German gov ernment places the first importance upon its latest tariff move. The baron Ib understood to have informed the secretary that his government felt that It has gone as far as it can in tho way of maintaining friendly and amicable trade relations with this country, and that, wh'le fhere is no hostile intent in its present move, yet self-interest and the preservation of the newly created tariff system of the country make it necessary that- the preferential treatment accorded to other nations which recently entered into treaties with Germany shall not be accorded the United States. The acting secretary of state could give Baron Sternberg no assurances as to what course this government would pursue.

Its meaning is 'widow by courtesy.' "There is nothing slangy or dis respectful in the term 'grace widow.' A widow may call herself that with propriety, and with propriety anyone may call her that."
