body of Hours, estimated to number
about U00O men. Speculations as to tho
direction and method ol Roberts' ud

In Capo Colony General Brabant and
General Clement command two horns

"''patches, seema almost accomplished.
With tho exception of sorties, n serious
jnnveinunt can hardly be expected from

is a blood or constitutional disease, and
in order to curs it you must take inl--nal
remedies. Hull's Catarrh Cure is
taken internally, and acts directly on
the blood and mucous surfaces. Hall's
Catarrh Cure ia not a quack medicine.
It waa waB prescribed by one of the best
physicians in this country for years, and
is a regular piescription. It is composed
of the best tonics known, combined with
the best blood purifieis, acting directly

GERMANY IS

Unjust Restriction Import Upn Ameri

MANY COM
PLAINTS MADE
But None Have Yet Been Subject of Of
ficial Report Consuls Refuse Information.
New Yorti:, March 5. A special to
the Herald from Washington says : Re
strictions imposed by the Governor of
Desseldorf, Germany, upon American
Consuls to prevent them from getting
information of a commercial character
may be objected to by this Government
in case an official dispatch regarding
theru should be leceived by the State
Department. Reports of tbia character
have been current in this country for
several months, but an official of the
State Department eaid that no official
dispatches had reached tbe Department.
If the facta are irs stated in the ptess re
ports, then, he said, the Department
would require Germany to live up to the
provisions of the treaty of 1871 respect
ing Consular offices.
Article two of this convention provides
that "the respective Consuls-General,
Coneuls, Vice-Consuls or Consular
Agents, as well as their Chancellors and
Secretaries, shall enjoy in the two
countries all privileges, exemptions and
immunities which have been granted or
may in future be granted to the agents
of the same rank of the most favored
nations." If it should be ascertained
that consuls of other nations accredited
to Germany are getting the information
desired by the Consular Representatives
of the. United States, then tbe claim can
be advanced that the latter are not al
lowed the privileges "accorded to other
Consule."
In the treaty of 1828, with Prussia,
the two contracting parties grant each
other the liberty of Consular representa
tion and the Consuls "shall enjoy the
eame privileges and powers as those of
the most favored nations." Other statt s
of tbe German confederation have
treaties with the United States contain
ing provisions of like character. No
complaint can be made to tbe German
government at the action of the authori
ties in refusing information, but if, as
stated, tite refusal shall be especially
directed against the United States, then
complaint can and will be made.
The authorities are not inclined to the
belief that the restrictions imposed by
the governor of Dusseldorf were piompt
ed by the Berlin government, but were
rather the act of an official who desired
to make political capital with the
Agrarian party.
