Gerjnany and the Sur Duty.
Washington, Dec. 5. The report of
the secretary of state mentioned in the
president's message upon Germany's
protest against the discriminating duty
of one-tenth of a cent per pound on sugar
coming from countries paying an export
bounty thereon, was transmitted to con
gress today. Gresham says the protest
is based upon the fact that such a meas
ure could not be reconciled . with the
most favored nation clause, and adds,
the German ambassador says :.
"The granting of an export duty is a
domestic affair of Germany. An intent
not to fullfil its treaty stipulations based
upon the most favored nation clause
cannot therefore be inferred from this by
any other country." He declares that
"the interview which has been mani
fested by the legislative bodies of the
United States would render the effects of
the most favored nation clause illusory."
Gresham contends that the payment
by a country of a bounty on the exporta
tion of an article of its produce or manu
facture for the purpose of encouraging
domestic industry can no more . be con
sidered as discrimination than can the
imposition of a practically, prohibitive
duty on the importation of articles of a
foreign country for the same purpose be
so considered. ...
Japanese and Chinese Skirmishing.
.Hiroshima, jjec. o. a aispatcn irom
Field Marshal Yamagata, dated Antong,
December 3, says the Japanese scouting
party sent in the direction of Ling
Sbang Kwang engaged the Chinese out
posts on the summit of , Motien Ling.
November- 15th. One Japanese soldier
was 'killed and three , wounded. The
scouting party was reinforced, and oc
cupied a position at Sokako, where it
was attacked by the enemy in large
force. Over forty Japanese were' killed.
A company of infantry sent to recon
noitre Kwan Tien and Salbarhu was at
tacked by a large force of Chinese No
vember 20th, at Tascowan and compelled
to retreat, with the loss of several killed.
Field Marshal Yamagata adds measures
have been taken to clear the country,
around Kwan Tien and Saibarhu. De
tachments under General Tachimi and
Colonel Nissynla have reached their des
tinations, after slight resistance. They
attacked the enemy at Saikabon, No
vember 23d, and compelled the Chinese
troops to retire. Two detachments are
now returning to Antong. '
Harried Her Twelfth Husband.
Elkhabt, . Ind.r Dec. : 5. The story
comes from Marshall county 'that Mrs.
Blackwood, whose remarkable matrimo
nial career has been given wide publicity,
is about to be married to her twelfth
husband, she having been divorced from
husband No. 11. Mrs. Blackwood was
married when 15 years ; old. - One bus
band has succeeded another in rapid suc
cession until her matrimonial career is
without parallel in the divorce courts of
this state. Six of her husbands were
divorced, one was killed and four died.
Romance and pathos have a part in the
story of her matrimonial conquests. One
of her husbands was an ex-convict,
whose pardon she secured from the Joliet
prison, and whose death, shattered a
happy union. The man who had worn
the stripes was her third husband, whom
she .chanced to meet on a visit to the
' Illinois prison. . Mr. Blackwood is only
40 years old. She is' well educated and
socially popular.
- The Carmen to Blame.
Oakland, Dec. 5. The inquest oh the
body of Miss May Coats, who was killed
in the accident last night when the local
train ran into the San Pablo avenue
cable car, will not be held until tomorrow
morning at 10 o'clock. An examination
of the cable shows that the accident was
not caused by a broken strand, as re
ported last evening. All things go to in
Highest of all in Leavening Power.

,. DOWN THt ANUES.
A Rough rid Exciting Ride on the Trana
andine Railway.
A correspondent sends an interest
ing description of a crossing of the
Cordillera de 16s Andes, in the present
state of the Transandine railway. The
letter say's: ;' '
"By. seven a. m. we were at the first
inn oh the Chili side. We there char
tered a four-horse carriage to drive us
to the end station (on this side) of the
railway, which feat was accomplished
in two hours' time. I callit a feat be
cause the road is all along the river
cut into the mountain side, and often
there is" hardly room for four horses
abreast to pass, and when I looked out
of the window into the roaring river
below I often wished 1 had been on iny .
mule. We did the distance ' between
the two end stations in about half the
time usually employed.' only being on
horseback ' for' seven 'hours and two
hours iri'1 the carriage. At the station
we were told that there would be no
train to Los Andes till three p. m.
next day, "butt Ave might telegraph for
the contractor's engine to take us
down, which we didy ' We had only to
pay thirty dollars for it and saved a
whole day by doing so.
"At about ten a. m. the engine ar
rived, and a very flimsy thing it looked.
We were' put on a small bench at the
back of the boiler, the driver
and stoker standing in front.- We were
soon spinning along, through tunnels,
over bridges and round curves" on a
track of about twofeetsix inchcagauge
at a rate of thh-ty miles ah hour, and
it was all that we could do to hold on to
the jolting and rattling little machine.
I don't believe I ever passed a worse
half hour, expecting eveiy moment to
see the engine leave the track and to
be dashed into the river below. Stones
on the line, which made us all jump
off our scats, animals running across
the 'rails, sudden desperate curves
round the corners of the rocky cliff
nothing seemed to daunt our driver,
and the noise was ' so great that it was
impossible to ask him to slacken down.
After we had gone half way, however,
he lost a kettle overboard and stopped
to pick it up, and then I remonstrated
with him and told him to slacken speed,
as I did not care to risk mv life for the
sake of getting "to ' Los "Andes a' few
minutes sooner. ' He said there was no
danger, but drove more slowly, and we
got into Los Andes an hour and two
minutes after mounting this infernal
machine, and right glad I was when
we drew up alongside the platform
with our bodies and luggage safe and
sound." -
