Q?HB MORNING OEEGONIAN, THURSDAY, APRIL 27, 1905. ENDS THE TREATY :Germany Will Not Make Amer ica Favored Nation. TO MEET NEW TARIFF DEAL -yew Treaties With European Na tions Ground for Opposing Treaty TVIUi United States. Tariff War Possible. BERLIN, April 26. The Imperial govern ment, preparatory to -excluding In United States from the privileges of the new reciprocity treaties signed recently fwith-seyen European states, has formally notified the American Government that itho tariff agreement between Germany amd the United States of July 10, 1300, will terminate March 1 lfiOC, the flay the .mew treaties go into effect, but that Ger snany stands ready to negotiate a reci procity treaty with the United States. This notification, made by Foreign Sec retary von Rlchbofen, March 14, after the decision of the Cabinet, stated that the treaties concluded with. Russia, Italy, Bel gium, Switzerland, Austria-Hungary, Rou ananla and Servla, "form a new basis," eo reads the text, "for tho commercial relations of Germany and the imperial government holds itself prepared to. enter into negotiations for the conclusion of a Tiew commercial treaty with the United States." The German lew, as hold at the For eign Office nd at the 'Ministry of the In terior, Is that the United States cannot reasonably expect to share In special benefits given by Germany to certain' European states In exchange for other Epecific tariff reductions. Should the United States have the same advantage .without giving anything In return, the treaty countries could justly complain "that they were In effect discriminated against because from them certain things "were exacted by bargain which were free ly given to the United States. But if the United States desires to take tip the gen eral tariff question and arrange a recipro cal agreement, Germany will be glad to do so. Otherwise, Germany's new gen eral tariff, which also goes into effect March 1, 1906, will be applied to imports from the United States. The Government, in terminating the present modus Vivendi, has done what Agrarians have asked for since the new commercial treaties were concluded. Pub lic opinion in Germany has also been fully prepared for the Government's act by publications of the Commercial Treaty Association, and the Central European Industrial League and articles in the .principal financial periodicals written by persons in affiliation with the Ministry of the Interior, although the news is not yet published here. Washington has not yet replied to Ger many's proposal. MAX RAISE ISSUE IN SENATE German Demands Likely to Make New Treaty Necessary. WASHINGTON. April 25. It is ad mitted at the State Department that pourparlers have been In progress for the last three months between the Amer ican Embassy, at Berlin, and the German Foreign Office, respecting the commer-J clM.treatles, put -so far Ambassador Tower, has not notified the Department that the German government has decided to terminate the existing arrangement with-tha United States. The effect of a formal declaration of that kind would be. very serious, it is feared, and Mr Tower is now engaged in one of the most difficult and complex tasks which he has yet been called upon to discharge. If tho arrangement Is denounced and no substitute Is found, then it may be that tho United States and Germany will soon become involved in a tariff war which would certainly prove disastrous to one or both of the principals. In view of the vast amount of trade between the two countries which would be affected. The situation in brief at this moment is as follows: In June, 1TO0 a reciprocity arrangement was entered into between America and Germany under section 3 of the Dlngley act. whereby, in return for a reduction of duty on German brandies, still wines and works of art entering the United States, Germany agreed to give United States products the benefit or tariff reductions accorded to the European countries above named. Germany now has drawn new conventions with those countries, chang ing the tariff rates, and Is disposed to refuse tho United States the benefit of these special rates under the old Dlngley convention. The State Department holds that the now conventions are nothing more than amendments of the original treaties, and that therefore the spirit of 'the Dlngley 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 views. In, the background is a well-recognized purpose on the part ot- the German gov rmncnt to cause the United States great ly to enlarge the list of articles named in the Dlngley agreement, but, as these are limited specially In the Dlngley act, that object can be attained only by tho nego tiation "of an entirely new reciprocity treaty. If the German government de- snounces the present agreement, the United States either must conclude such a reol p'roclty treaty or submit to the withdrawal -b'f the moet-favored-natlon privilege and the imposition on American imports Into Germany of full maximum tariff rates. which in-many cases will be practically prohibitive and probably would cause such an outcry from the great exporting inter ests of this country as would force Con gress to retaliatory legislation and mark the beginning of a great tariff wan If Mr. Tower is finally imprepsed with 4the soundness of the German contention respecting the Inapplicability of the exist ing 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. BLAST AT ROCKEFELLER Delivered by Gladden at Secret Sleet ing of Clergy. BOSTON. April 26. Dr. Washington Gladden, of Columbus, O., moderator of the General Council of Congregational Churches of the United States, was the principal speaker at a secret meeting to day of Congregational ministers Invited to assemble by the clergymen's committee which is protesting against the acceptance for religious purposes by the denomina tion and Its affiliated societies of gifts from John D. Rockefeller. Dr. Gladden's remarks were embodied in a statement, which will be given to the public tomor row. The committee in charge of today's meeting was appointed originally to pro test against Mr. Rockefeller's gift of $100. 000 to the American Missionary Board. Referring to th6 statement made last night by Starr J. Murphy, Mr. Rockefel ler's counsel, to the effect that Dr. Glad den's criticism of Mr. Rockefeller was based on a "garbled report,". Dr. Gladden said to a representative cf the Associated Press tonight: I have no statement to make at thla time, except to eay that I cannot make & formal answer to II r. Murphy -until I have had an opportunity to so to the library and look up the testimony to which reference has been made. I suppOEed, of course, that the criti cisms which I cited had been accurately made. They have been standing for a number of years, and have been quoted In several booka, and have never, to my knowledge, been ques tioned. I used the exact words of the cita tion as It appears in Henry D. Lloyd's book, "Wealth Against Commonwealth." and I am of the opinion that the nmt citation appears in Miss Tarbell's "History ot the Standard Oil Company.' ' Aa opportunity offers, I shall prepare an an swer to Mr. Murphy, and make it public through the Associated Press. FOR GRAY'S HARBOR' RUN Toledo Will Be Ready for First Trip v Next "Week. The steamer Toledo will reach Portland early next week to- make her flret run to Gray's Harbor points. After the first trip she will leave Portland on Mondays and Fridays, going to Westport, Hoqulam and Aberdeen. This is the first boat to run regularly to Gray's Harbor for a long time. Before the railroad entered the Gray's Harbor territory the steamers paid well, and now that the towns around the harbor have grown to their present size tt is considered that a steamer plying reg ularly will be a paying venture. The Toledo left Eureka for San Fran cisco Tuesday night. As soon as emptied, she will probably take on another load, and start for Portland as soon as pos sible. Advance In War Risks. An advance. of per cent In. -War-rlsk-lnsurance wag '.yesterday declared effect ive upon cargoes for Oriental ports. Up to yesterday the Insurance was 1 per cent; now It is 2 per cent. ' Before much flour goes to Japan, how ever, the rates will probably undergo a change, as by that time the Impending battle between the Russian and Japanese fleets will probably have been fought, and a different aspect put upon Oriental af fairs, so far as risks on cargoes go. Tho Nicomedla is expected to start westward across the Pacific today. She will load flour here next month, and this load may be subject to tho new Insurance rates. Collier Breaks Singapore Record.

BROWN BEAR SKIN TAKEN President Drives Animal Up Tree and Shoots Him Through Heart News of World Carried to Camp by Secretary Loeb. v GLENWOOD SPRINGS, Col., April 25. A rest was taken at Camp Roosevelt today by all members of the party. They were utterly worn out after their hard chase of Monday and Tuesday. Secre tary Loeb found the President reading and several others ot the hunters were telling stories when he reached the camp on East Divide Creek. Mr. Roosevelt questioned the Secretary concerning the happenings of the past 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 remam several dayg with the party, taking the place of P. B. Stew art, ot Colorado Springs, who left yester day. He has not decided what he will do, but expectB to return tomorrow night. He may hunt a part of the day before riding to Newcastle. Women of Newcastle sent a huge fruit cake to the camp today, and Dan Mc Pherson, a rancher, sent a basket of sev eral 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 Monday furnished one ot the finest skins ever seen here, according to the taxider mist with whom It has been left for mounting. The bear was brown, with hair long and uniform in color. It wbb shot directly through the heart. After it had been overtaken by the dogs it went up a tree to a position 25 feet high and after the President shot the bear it went 20 feet higher and then dropped to the ground The bear killed by Dr. Alexander Lambert was killed an hour earlier. The President may attend church ser vices at the "Old Blue Schoolhouse" on next Sunday. The schoolhouse is only three miles from camn. Services are con ducted fortnightly by a Presbyterian min ister. BEGGAR LIVES LIKE PRINCE Employs Secretary, Lives at Swell Hotels, But Is Captured. NEW YORK, April 26. Hermann Wil li elm. Troebner, "King ot the Schnor rers" (a band of professional beggars). is locked up here awaiting arraignment on several complaints by the Charity Or ganization Society. Officers of the latter allege that Troeb ner has cleaned up tens of thousands of dollars in the past four or five years, and that the full list of persons from whom his unique methoa procured money would read like a social register of New York. Troebner has lived at expensive hotels and for years has maintained a home In Hoboken for his wife and child. He i3 said to have lost large sums In gambling both here and in the West. Under arrest with him Is his secretary. Otto Wittles. to whom he paid $25 a week to attend to the clerical work of his business. Troebner began his operation? as a pro fessor of Sanskrit from Heidelberg or Lelpslc. University men, .and especially professors, were much In his favor and his story generally was to the. effect that remittances from home had failed to ar rive, leaving him temporarily in need of fuqds. In 1902 he was sentenced to six months Imprisonment -for begging. In that case he used the name of Baron von Manteuffel. Recently he returned to New York and the Charity Organization heard of him through the officials of a copper mining company, to which he represented himself as an expert mining engineer. Technical questions asked him placed him under suspicion because he failed to .dis play much knowledge on the subject When arrested Troebner and his secre tary were on their way to Boston, whence they expected to sail for England.

German scientists have decided that afternoon school work does great Injury to growing children. After carefully studying tne subject, Dr. Otto Dornbluth, a famous nervous specialist of Frankfort, has issued a statement, in which he de clares that the number of sick among children attending morning and afternoon sessions was by one-half greater than among children who attended sessions in the forenoon only. United States Consul General Guenther, reporting the matter to the State Department, says that Dr. Dornbluth favors a morning session of five hours, giving a resting pause of 15 minutes at the end of each hour. "He says that Afternoon sessions ex haust the vitality of the children," writes Mr. Guenther, "disturb their digestive or gans and tire their brain. From a med ical standpoint, afternoon sessions should be abolished. The afternoon hours should be given to play, outdoor exercise and physjeal training." Largo Will Wrestle Frank.
