BERLIN, April 26. The Imperial govern
ment preparatory to excluding the United
States from the privileges of the rew reel
proclty treaties signed recently wi.h seven
European states has formally notllled the
American government that the tariff agree
ment between Germany and the l'nlted
States of July 10, ISjO, will terminate March
1, 1HU6, the day the new treaties go Into
effrct, but that Germany stands ready to
nt-Kotlate a reciprocity treaty with the
United States.
This notification, made by Foreign Secre
tary von Rlchthoff March 14, after the de
clslon of the cabinet said that the treaties
concluded with Russia, Italy, Belgium,
Switzerland, Austria-Hungary, Roumunia
and Hervla, "form a new basis," so reads
the text, "for the commercial relations of
Germany, and the Imperial government
holds Itself prepared to enter Into negotiay
' lions lor me conclusion ui i new tunimoi-
wclal treaty with the United States."
Benefits Mast Be Herlpracal
The German view as held at the Foreign
office and at the ministry of the interior is
that the United States cannot reasonably
expect to share In special benefits given by
Germany to certain European states in
exchange for other specific tariff reduc
tions. Should the United States have the
same advantages without giving anything
in return the treaty countries could Justly
complain that they were in effect discrim
inated against because from them certain
things were exacted by bargain which were
freely given to tho United States. 1 But if
the United States desires to take up the
general tariff question and arrange
reciprocal against the German govern
ment will be very glad to do so. Otherwise
Germany's new. general tariff, which also
goes Into effect March 1, 1906, will be ap
plied to Imports from the United States.
The government In terminating the pres
ent modus vlvendl has done what agrarians
have steadily afked for since the new com
mercial treaties were concluded. Public
opinion in Germany has also been fully pre
pared for the government's act by publics
tions of the Commercial Treaty association
and the Central European Industrial league

ST. FE.TERB11URG. April 2ti. U:35 p. m
American superiority over foreign rivals
again triumphs In the complete success
which has crowned the visit of Charles
M. Schwab to St. Petersburg. Mr. Schwab s
negotiations with the Russian Admiralty
have resulted in the practical conclusion
of an arrangement for the construction
of a number of formidable line of battle-
shlDs of a type which probably will startle
the world. Mr. Schwab will leave St.
Petersburg tomorrow. The details of the
construction of the vessels will remain to
be worked out, but in addition to those
which will be built in the United States
It Is aulte likely that a yard will be con
structed at a Baltic port to be manned
by Russian workmen, but under American
engineering and mechanical supervision,
the Russian Admiralty being extremely
anxious to utilize the rehabilitation of the
navy for the encouragement of the shlp-
hiillrltnir Industry at home in order to
eventually render the country Independent
of foreign yards. The admiralty has ac
cepted Mr. Schwab's propositions, strictly
on their merits, he having convince,! the
authorities that he can produce warships
superior to anything afloat and at pres
ent projected by any government. They
will be monster vessels of an enormous
horse-power and of a peculiar type, com
blnlng the projectile resisting power of the
battleship with the speed and wide radius
of action of cruisers. They will be dellv
ered fully equipped as to armor and ord
nance.
The remarkable advance In naval archl
tecture and construction which these Am
erican built ships will mark is a well
guarded secret, but It Is believed It will
involve the use of nickel steel of greater
strength, which In boilers, frames, etc,
will give greater power with less dead
weight. Mr. Schwab guarantees to ere
ate vessels with 20 per cent higher effl
clency than now existing.

disastrous to one or both of the prin

between the two countries which would be

' Cans of the Contention.
The altuatlon, in brief, at this moment Is
a follows:
In July, 1900. a reciprocity arrangement
was entered into between America and
0rmany under section S of the Dingley act,
whereby In return for a reduction of duty
on German argnla, brandies, still wines
and works of art entering the United States
Germany agreed to give l'nlted States prod
ucts the benefit of the tariff reductions ac
corded to the European countries above
named. Germany now has drawn new con
ventions with those countries changing the
tariff rates and la disposed to refuse the
United States the benefits of these special
rates under the old Dingley convention. The
State department holds that the new con
ventions reully are nothing more thun
amendments of the original treaties and
that therefore the spirit of the Dingley act
agreement would seem to cause it to apply
with equal force to the new conventions.
Correspondence Is now passing to clear up
this difference of view. In the background
la a well recognised purpose on the part of
the German government to cause the United
States greatly to enlarge the list of articles
named in tne inngiey agreement, but as
these are limited especially In the Dingley
act, that object can be attained only by the
negotiation of an entirely new reciprocity
treaty. If the German government de
ncuncee the present agreement the United
States must conclude such a reciprocity
treaty or submit to the withdrawal of the
most favored nation privilege and the Impo
sition on American imports Into Germany
of full tariff rates, which in many casta
will be practically prohibitive and probably
would cause such an outcry from the great
export Interests from this country as would
force congress to retaliatory legislation and
mark the beginning of a great tariff war
If Mr. Tower Is finally impressed with the
soundness of ' the German contention re
specting the Inapplicability of the existing
arrangement to the new European treaties
and proceeds to draft a reciprocity treaty
the issue will be transferred squarely to
the United States senate at Its next session.
This outcome. It Is stated. Is probable,

International Alliance of Y. M. C. A
at Paris.
PARIS, April 2b. Tho world's conference
of the Young Men's Christian associations,
which is celebrating the semi-centennial of
the establishment of the International al
liance of the associations, was opened this
afternoon In the Charity Bazar building.
More than l.OuO delegates representing
twenty nations, including Japan, China,
India, Australia, South Africa and North
and South America, were present. The
Japanese delegates hold credentials from
the Japanese government which has been
given special recognition by the organiza
tion. The American delegation Includes
James Stokes, F. S. Revell, R. E. Morse,
J. R. Mott, E. W. Frost and forty others
representing various cities In the United
States and Canada.
Dean Hall of Chrisilanla, Norway, called
the conference to order.
The following officers were elected: Presi
dent, Count Jacques de Portalles; vice
presidents, Prince Bernadotte, second son
of King Oscar of Sweden and Norway;
Count Bernstorft of Germany, Lord Kln
nlard of England and Ir, Stokes of the
United States.
The opening address was made by Prince
Bernadotte, who is president of the Scan
dinavian associations.
A striking feature of the meeting was
the audience rising unanimously and re
forming the constitutional basis adopted
fifty years ago for the extension of the
Christian work of the organization.
The conference - will continue In session
four days.
WASHINGTON, April 26. Chairman El-
klns of the Interstate Commerce committee
announced today when the committee as
sembled that he had requested the State
department to procure the railroad laws
of Great Britain, Germany and France
ond the portions of these laws bearing on
the questions before the committee will
lie printed as part of the hearings.
Walker D. Mines, formerly of the Louis
ville & Nashville railroad, continued his
statement before the committee. He In
sisted that competition was the cause of
less rates for long hauls than for short
hauls. He expressed the opinion that
pooling would be of little advantage to
railroads.
Mr. lfines. explaining differentials, said
the competition between the gulf ports and
southern railroads nnd the Atlantic ports
and the eastern railroads was responsible
therefor. New Orleans secured a low
rate and New York wanted an equal rate.
A government tribunal cou'.d not figure out
what proportion of grain traffic should
go to New Orleans and how much should
go to New York
Dolllver Asks a Question.
Senator Dolliver asked if it was not an
endorsement of the commission that there
had been unanimously submitted to the
commission the matter of arbitration of
differentials between Baltimore, Phila
delphia and New York. Mr. Hlnes replied
that these communities were willing that
the commission should be the arbitrators
and the railroads were also satisfied. But
New Orleans, with its enterprise and en
ergy and its railroads, might not be. satis
lied, if the government should assume
the power to fix rates it also would have
to assume the responsibility for the welfare
of communities which had an unfavorable
natural location, Just as the railroads do
now. Under the constitution, the commis
sion, Mr. Hynes contended, could not give
a preferential rate. It probably would be
within the power of congress, he added,
under Its authority to regulute commerce
to acquire the railroads of the country.
Then, of course, congress would have to
fix rates in order to carry on business,
but it did not follow that without owner
ship congress could fix rates.
Job Is to Big.
Mr. Hlnes asserted that a government
tribunal could not fix rates because It
would not have time. In the section e.ast
of the Mississippi and south of the Ohio
and Potomac rivers, comprising 17 per cent
of the mileage and 12 per cent of the earn
ings of the railroads of the United States,
there were engaged In freight traffic and
rates a corps of ninety-six trained men,
all engaged in making rates. There were
in addition from 400 to 500 traveling freight
agents who were constantly In touch with
their superiors, in four years the traffic
men in the region mentioned had made
12,000 changes of rates,, of which 8,000 were
Increases.
Mr. Hlnes claimed that It would be un
fair, If not unconstitutional, to confer rate
making on a body which is the inquisitor,
the attorney for the shippers and the
prosecutor of the railroads.
Discussing the Esch-Townsend bill, Mr.
Hlnes said that he was acquainted with all
the legislation of states where unfriendly
legislatures had enacted' the most drastic
laws, but none of them had been so drastic
as the bill passed by the house In the
last congress.
Before Mr. Hlnes completed his state
ment, the committee adjourned until to
morrow at 11 o'clock.

Ing. SAN FRANCISCO, April. 26.-Mayor
Schmltz Is authority for the statement
that Tax Collector Edward J. Smith is a
defaulter to the city in the sum of (!9,112.
The mayor was notified of the peculations
by the brother of the official, John Smith,
cashier in the tax collector's office. On
last Thursday Smith disappeared from the
city, ostensibly going on a vacation to
Los Angeles. It has been learned that
he took with him $39,112, the taxes of the
Southern Pacific Railroad company.
The defalcation was discovered when it
was found that the Southern Pacific com
pany was in arrears with Its taxes.
condition beyond precedent. The railroad
people were asked why this year's as
sessment hud been delayed.
"But It is not." cau5. Uie answer.
"On April 4 and April 14 we paid $3,112.68
personally to Tax Collector Smith. We
made two installments, giving checks for
the amount and receiving the receipts.'
As soon as John Smith, the cashier, heard
of his' brother's misdeeds, he went to the
office of the mayor and told the story.
Mayor Schmltz immediately communicated
with the sheriff and chief of police. The
mayor formally suspended Smith from of
fice and appointed James McKay, chief
bookkeeper, in temporary charge. Smith
left San Francisco six days ugo.
Before being elected to the office of tax
collector Edward J. Smith was a well
known citizen. He was affiliated with
prominent fraternal organizations and had
many friends. He is owner of a drug store
and resided with his family here.
According to Mayor Schmltz a shortage
of $lti6,000 in the accounts of Tax Collector
Smith was discovered in April, 1504. This,
the mayor Bays, was made up by the tax
collector's other brother, James B. Smith,
who first pledged about tOOO.000 worth of
securities and then made the shortage
good in money. James B. Smith is a sue

It Is known that Mr. Bigelow.'s holdings
in a large Milwaukee electrical concern
were turned over to the bank some timo
ago as collateral for loans, so that his
withdrawal from any connection with vari
ous enterprises leaves him entirely free
from any business propositions.
George P. Miller, also an executor of the
Payne estate, stated this evening that he
hud closely scrutinized all the securities of
that estate since Bigelow's downfall and
found them Intact.
No successor has been chosen to fill the

REST IN CAMP ROOSEVELT
President Spends Hay In Heading;
After Mrennoua Chase of Mon
day ami inrmla,
GI.ENWOOD SPRINGS, Colo.. April 26.
A rust was taken at Camp Roosevelt today
by all members of the party. They were
utterly worn out after the hanj chase of
Monday and Tuesday. Secretary Loeb
found the president reading and several of
his hunters telling stories when he reached
the camp on East Divide creek. Mr.
Roosevelt questioned the secretary concern
ing the happenings of the last few days,
preferring to get his news in this manner
rather than by reading the big bundle of
newspapers taken to the camp by Courier
Chapman. Mr. Loeb was urged to remain
several days with the party, taking the
place of P. II. Stewart of Colorado SprlnRS,
who left yesterday. Tho secretary has not
decided what he will do, but expects to
return tomorrow night. He may hunt a
part of the day before riding to New
castle. Women of Newcastle sent a huge fruit
cake to the camp today and Dan McPher
son, a rancher, sent a basket of several
dozen fresh eggs.
The supplies were addressed directly to
the president, but are a special treat for
the hunters.
The bear killed by the president on Mon
day furnished one of the finest skins ever
seen here, according to the taxidermist,
with whom it has been left for mounting.
The bear was of the brown variety, with
hair long nnd uniform color. The animal
wns shot directly through the heart. After
It had been overtaken by the dogs It went
up a tree to a position twenty-five feet
high. After the president shot the bear It
climbed twenty feet higher and then
dropped to the ground. Tho bear killed by
Dr. Alexander Lambert was slain an hour
earlier.
The- president may attend church service
at the "Old Blue School

Reception and Ball.
The session closed with a grand reoeption
and ball at the Auditorium, beginning at
8:30 o'clock. The great building was beau
tifully decorated with red, green, blue
and yellow electric lights, with red and
green predominating. Palms und flowers
were grouped about the hall in profusion,
and as soon as the doors were opened a
great throng of Shrlners accompanied by
their women folks began to fill the hall.
The main floor was devoted to ball pur
poses, and the Thirtieth Infuntry band,
partly hidden behind a great bank of palms
and flowers at the front of tho stage, dis
coursed the essential music. After the
opening number, an overture by the band,
the grnnd march began with fully 2,000
men and women in line.
The gallery rails were decorated with trl
colored. lights and emblems of the order,
producing a beautiful and soft effect.
Around tho main floor under the galleries
were numerous refreshment booths, and
punch and sandwiches were served freely
during the entire evening.
Ball Rudely Interrupted.
The ball proper began ut I : 15 und was
In progress about an hour when an elderly
woman attired in a gray habit and black
hat, said to be Susan B. Anthony, forced
an entrance among the revelers and brush
ing the dancers aside marched down the
main floor, and taking a position on the
stage demanded silence and a cessation
of the ball. She said it was a burning
shame that men should organize them
selves Into such concerns as the Shrine,
barring women from them, and carry on
such disgraceful doings as were now going
on. She demanded that women should
be permitted as their Inalienable right to
take part In these proceedings.
I'ast Imperial Potentate Aiken of Tan
gier Temple tried to mollify the wrathy
woman, but she wouldn't mollify, and cries
were made to put her out. Finally a com
promise was agreed upon by permitting
the women to be initiated Into the Shrine
In order that the revelry might continue.
"Miss Anthony" acceded to this.
Initiate the Women Folks.
The hall was then darkened and the cur
tain rose upon a temple of Shrlners lo
miles from camp. Services are conducted
fortnightly by a Presbyterian minister.
HIGH WATER AT TRINIDAD
Part of the Brldnre Across Rio Grande
River Washed Out Water
Supply Cut Off.
TRINIDAD, Colo., April 2S.-The Lns
Animus river reached Its highest mark
here at 6 o'clock tonight. At that hour tho
south approach to the Rio Grande railroad
bridge dropped Into the river. Railroad
rails were thrown Into the river to keep the
wrecked portion of the bridge from washing
away, but the force of the flood is so strong
that it may be washed away any minute.
The store of the Colorado Supply company
has been flooded and an army of men Is
engaged removing the goods.
The river Is gradually washing away the
new Santa Fe fill, despite the fact that
hundreds of men are at work dumping
trafnloads of rocks Into the river bed In
order to change the channel. A temporary
water supply was furnished to the business
portion of the city today by laying a water
main across the Rio Grando bridge. Tho
wrecking of this bridge tonight makes It
extremely uncertain when a water supply
can be had again.
All west bound Santa Fe trains are held
up here on account of the washout near
Sturkvllle, five miles south of here. Seven
heavily loaded passenger trains are stalled,
Including two specials hearing United States
soldiers from Medicine Barracks, X. Y.;
Allegheny, Pa., arsenal and Fort Thomas,
Ky., to the Philippines.
