WASHINGTON , Mnrch 11 , Negotiations
for reciprocity treaties with Germany and 1
Frntieo have been resumed and there la
Mill n prospect that n treaty may bo nego I
tiated with Otcnt Britain covering the Brit
ish West Indies. Throe several treaty nego j
tiations wcro Interrupted BOIIIO months ago j
by the service Mr. Kasson , our reciprocity
commissioner , vns obliged to give to the
ranadlnn commission. As this work la j '
closed Mr. Knsson Is frco lo resume the
negotiations with the other countries , nnd
ho has written to Inform them that ho Is at
liberty lo proceed.
In the cuso ot Franco Ambassador Cam-
bon returns from Paris with the earnest
hope of carrying through the treaty under I
section of the Dlngley law. On the part ]
of Franco It Is proposed to give to the j
United States their "minimum" tariff list.
The French tariff has two rates , a maxi I
mum nnd minimum. The difference nvor- i
ngcs about 25 per cent. Countries especially
favored by Franco get iho minimum rate ,
while these having no nrrnngemcnt pay the
maximum rate , 25 per cent higher. The ef
fect of this Is to plnco higher duties on
American goods than QM those of England ,
Germany , Uussla and some thirty-one coun-
lilcs with which Franco has made commer
cial arrangements. In the negotiations with
Mr. KIIHSOII this minimum rate Is conceded ,
the only question being as to what the
United States will grant In return.
I''reneh ' Content Ion ,
The law p ? mills a 20 per cent reduction
of duty on designated articles , but an ar
rangement has not been reached as lo what
these articles shnll be. The French conten
tion Is that the list should bo liberal as
tliclr minimum list covers the entire tariff
list. They nlso contend thnt the average of
French duty on American goods Is nbout
5 1 per cent nd valorem , ns ngalnst nbout 50
cents French duty on American goods. M.
Cambon Is awaiting Information from Paris ,
and It Is expected that negotiations will pro
ceed In nbout two weeks.
The German negotiations have been re
sumed on n rather broad scale. They be
gun over n year ngo on n strict commerclnl
bnsls and made no progress owing to Ger
many's participation In certain other public
matters. Recently Germany has given un-
mlstnkable evidence of good will. As a re
sult the officials have shown a disposition to
listen with more attention to Germany's de
sires on reciprocity and the subject Is being
considered In Its broad general features.
The scope of the negotiation is shown In
the fact that Secretary Hay himself Is carryIng -
Ing It forward , the detailed work on sched
ules not having been taken up ns yet by
Mr. Kas&on.
DrltlKh Xo
The British negotiations reached nn ad
vanced stage and then collapsed entirely.
They wcro managed by Sir Julian Paunce-
fete and Mr. Hassan , who together outlined
the articles to bo covered > by the proposed
treaty. The document wns about ready to
slnn last summer , when the London nuthor-
Itles made a statement that th y were con
sidering the advisability of granting coun
tervailing duties to the sugar producers of
the BriUli Weal Indira after the American
practice. This put off the reciprocity treaty ,
for if the Imperial government gave counter
vailing duties there was not the same need
of n reciprocity arrangement.
But except for this statement the Imperial
government has done nothing on counter
vailing duties and the West Indian colonies
hnvo received neither tbo benefit of the du
ties nor cf the reciprocity treaty. H has
sulllccd , however , to let Ihe negotiations
Kipso and no progress on the subject has
been attempted of late. If Sir Julian goes
to the disarmament congress at The Hague
In May he Is not likely to conclude the rec
iprocity negotiation before he goes nnd
after that the two years' period for nego
tiating reciprocity treaties under the Ding-
Icy bill will have expired.
IteiiNiin for HiiNU'iiliiK Worlc.
The expiration of this period Is urging
nil iforclgn countries to hasten their nego
tiations. The DIngley law provided thai the
president shall have authority for two years
from the date when the law became opera
tive ( July 21 , 1S97) ) to make reciprocity
treaties , etc. This period expires July 24
next , so that only three months remain to
complete treaties under this law. It Is
{ .aid , however , that If they fall of comple
tion within that time It will not necessarily
end all the negotiations , aa the president
Etlll lias Iho constitutional right. Inde
pendent of this specific law , to negotiate
treaties by nnd with the consent of the sen-
ntc.
ntc.If deemed advantageous , this constitu
tional authority will bo authorized , even
after July 21 next.
The negotiations with Peru have not
proven successful , as that country wns not
willing to grant a reduction on the article
which this government considered should bo
covered. These nro practically all the ne
gotiations , although there hns boon the In
itiative In other quarters.

WASHINGTON , Mnrch 14. Acting Direc

statement designed to offset the belief that
a large number of census appointments will
bo made nt once. It says thai under the
cciisii * act not more than sixty places nro

n maximum compensation of $1,200 per year ,
I and that one-fourth of tncflo are stnlt posl-

i ply. Applicants for clerkships of higher
grade than clnss 1 are expected to enter
lower classes and bo promoted on merit.
, All employes ever JGOO per year , It U
atntcd , will undergo nn educational test.
Applications to the director for appointments -
ments ns enumerators are stated to ibe use

ordinary commercial traveler of n wholesale
house. All applications should bo accom
panied by rccommendntlons nnd the number
of employes will average nboul ono lo every

concludes :
"Young nnd vigorous men nnd women In

WASHINGTON , Mnrch M. National
Orange Master Anron Jones of Indiana wns
before the Industrial commission today. Ho
expressed the opinion that transportation
I wns the moat Important question with
I which the fnrmer had to deal and lie be
lieved rates should bo made by an Inde
pendent commission nnd that the railroad
companies should not bo allowed to ar-
I bltrarlly fix rates. Ho nlso nsserted that
i the trusts should bo controlled nnd ex
pressed the hope that the commission would
devise legislation to that end. He thought
our consuls abroad should Interest them
selves In the ngrlculturnl products of Hie
country ns much ns in Its manufacturing
Interests.
Another reform suggested was the lownr.
Ing of the salaries of governmenl officials.
" 1 remember , " ho Bald , "when the snl-
nrlcs of congressmen were Incrensed from
? 3,000 to $3,000. This Increase was made
on Iho plea that the purchasing power ot
the dollar liad decreased. Now thnl Ihere
has been nn Increase In the purchasing
power wo hear hf no agitation for a re
duction of salaries. "
Mr. Jones asserted tliat the farmer Is un
fairly nnd lucqultnbly taxed , one-fourth to
one-third of the Income of the average
farm In Indiana being necessary to pay the
taxei. He said legislation looking to uni
formity In taxation Is needed In the differ
ent states. Ho opposed the Inheritance tax.
On the question of Immigration he said
the Polandors were the most uon-asslmll-
able of nil foreigners coming lo this coun
try. They Insist on maintaining their own
schools for the preservation of their lan
guage and religion. Ho mentioned ono com
munity In Indiana where Itiero were 1,500
Polish children , not ono of whom attended
the public schools.

BALTIMORE , March 14. Five sisters of
the American Order of the Sacred Henrt
have , nccordlng to n dlspntch from I'inar del
Hlo , been ordered awny from Cuba by Arch
bishop Chnppelle , the papal representative
recently appointed to Investigate the affairs
of the Catholic church In tlmt Island. The
news wns received by cable In this city by
General James II. O'Blcrne of New York , who
Is registered nt the Hotel Hcnnert. The
message came from Hov. J. M. Craft , an In
dian missionary priest who founded the
American order of the sisters nun who went
to Cuba last November with the five nuns ,
who nro all daughters of Indian chiefs. The
cablegram , which came In Latin , was thus
rnnslnted by General O'Blerno :
"Archbishop Chnppello orders tis to get
away from hero on account of the old hatred
against the ( Indian ) sisters. I have writ
ten you about It. "
"XVork Hone l y Sinter * .
"Father Craft's rofercnco to the 'old
hatred' against the Indian sisters menus
Just this , " said the general. "Tho order Is
purely American nnd wns established near
Fort 1'lerro on the Dakota border about
six years ago. The Cahensly clement In the
church or those who nro In invor of the
European Idea In the management of orders
nnd church affairs , antagonized Father
Craft's work In establishing this now order
nnd ho met with much opposition. Ho went
bravely on with his undertaking , however ,
and when the war with Spain broke out
offered the services of n number of the
Indian sisters to the government. As an old
friend of the missionary priest , I went to
the secretary of war and succeeded in get
ting the sisters sent to nurse In the hos
pitals at Tampa and Huntsvllle , Later on ,
owing to the excellent work they did , nnd
the fact that they were considered Immune
from yellow fever , five of the sisters were
sent to Cuba and wore located with the
First division hospital of the Seventh army
corps at Plnar del Hlo. All through the yel
low fever epidemics In the Cuban camps
the sisters worked admirably nnd to my
own knowledge were complimented by the
department for their excellent work. They
wore nil the time under the direction of
Father Craft , who accompanied them. Ho
had mot with considerable hostility from
the un-American element In ths church , and
the opposition to this now American order
of sisters became very marked. Nothing
like the present move wns , however , ex
pected.
Jllow nt Americanism.
"I cannot account for It. It Is of course
a great disappointment to Father Crafts , whc
lias Just nbout commenced his work in Cuba
The expulsion of his order ot sisters fron :
Cuba by the papal rcprcsontntlvo looks like
a victory for the opponents of Americanism
and coming at this particular time It will
be painful news to these who believed thai
the Vatican was in full sympathy with real
Americanism. I hope that an explanation
will be furnished which will quiet the fears
of those who dread the conditions that mt > ; Iii
result It the anti-Americanism element
should get the oppor hand. "
Speaking of Father Craft , he said : " 1
iiavo known him for many years. He Is by
far the greatest Sioux scholar known In the
northwest , where ho has labored among the
Indians for many years. Ho comes from an
old Pennsylvania Dutch fnmlly and Is presi
dent of the Order of the Sons of the Ameri
can Revolution. He is ono of the most de >
voted and zealous priests of the church. "

The big rubber sales of the season were
made- last October , when they reached pro-
i portions almost unprecedented In the rccol-
j lection of the local trade. Ono down town
shoe Btoro sold $1.800 worth of rubbers alone
, In a slnglo day on this occasion and others
i wcro not far behind. This weeu the sales
are slightly larger than normal , but not
what might bo expected when the streets nro
In their present condition.
Talking about rubbers , reminded n clerk
In ono of the largest establishments that
thcro Is n decided tendency toward very
high patterns. The sandals that wcro BO
much Worn a year or two ago are seldom
called for and the demand Is almost en
tirely for rubbers that cover the entire shoe.
This Is especially true with the women , ns
they have discovered that the flap that cov
ers the Instep prevents their skirts from
wearing away their shoes at that point and
besides adding protection from the slush Is
a material economy In shoo leather.
