The latest phase of the Chinese agitation, the projected com mercial treaties, Including the extraordi narily hostile tone of the Russian Inspired press on the subject, the Russo-American tariff dispute and the Anglo-Gorman rela tions held public attention this week. A considerable portion of the German press strongly disapproves of Germany'3 protesting against the Ruslan annexation of Manchuria, claiming that Germany has no interests there and that she Is pledged to Russia not to Interfere with anything Russia chooses to do there. Tho jingo and Agrarian papers are particularly outspoken in this respect. The Deutsche Tages Zeltung to-day says that Count Von Kue Icw's proceeding on the subject Is Illogical and stupid and amounting to hauling chest nuts out of the lire for Great Kritnln. The more sober portion of the presa deplores this new trouble, which creates diplomatic antagonisms likely to split tho whole en tente of the powers. The National Zeitung believes this newest phase of the China situation to be the most dangerous for the peace of the world that has come about since the beginning of the Chinese trouble. The Vorwaerts reviews Germany's Chi nese policy since the Chlno-Japancse war and eleclares It to be one unbroken chain of blunders. The paper adds: "If the tri umvirate of Great Urltaln, Germany and Japan had stood together from the first it would h.ive been able to check Russia's land-grabbing insolence, hut now It is too late; Russia has what she wanted and is sure of China's ratlllcatlon. Protests from the other powers are now useless." XXX Agitation over tho new tariff and the new commercial trestles is as lively us ever; the Agrarian demands, after grow ing with the apparent lndlncrcncc to Count Von RuHow mid the Kundesrath, seem lunv to have become more modest, since tha Russian papers, at the instigation of M. De Witte. minister of n naiice, came out with the scries of ar ticles agatnxt Germany's proposed large increase of agricultural tlutles and threat ening severe reprisals against the impotta tloti of German Industrial products. Some of the most lmpoitant German papers hae this week printed St. Petersburg corre spondence, explaining that since Russian industry, in spite of Its elaborate pain p'Mliu: by Mildster De Witte, Is now plain ly shown to bo a total failure, Russia Is all the more constrained to retain thoo countries to which she can export her agricultural products, hence M. De Wltlo's tit reo attack upon Count Von Kuclow. xxx One inspired Russian article printed this week wherein It Is plainly st t forth that If Germany persists In Hiuttlng out RusMnu produce Russia will retaliate, not only economically, hut iiImi politically, has tu e n generally commented upon hPrc. A public ad. lies this week by Dr. Von Siemens, it member of tho Reichstag and a director of the Deutsche Hank, has ubo treated a sensation. Dr. Von Shim ns said that If the new treaties are iml con stltutnl Germany will enter upon a period ot unparalleled distress, thai emigration of from M'Ven to ten millions must be ex hiM'tcd and that Germany would sink back into tho shadows of provincial existence. xxx Anglo-German relations are hlowly im proving. A number of the more serious newepuporx confess the folly of repelling Great Krltaln's advances. The authorized now that the alleged disfiguring of the Kmperor'x picture by his Hrltish regiment (the First Royal Dragoons) In January, lVni, Is a myth, has done Its thare to allay Ger man rancor against the Kritons. Sensible articles by the Iniluentlal Grenzboten (a weekly newspaper), tho Vosslscho Zeitung, the Cologne Volks Zeitung, the Kreuz Zei tung and the Herlln Tageblatt have also elono their share. xxx The largest portion of this week's Reich stag sitting was taken up by a debate on dueling, in which the Centrist orators were especially forcible In their arguments. They did not even hesitate to attack tho Em peror for encouraging dueling by regularly pardoning duelists after short and mild con finement. The Vorwaerts to-day publlshei another list of such recent pardons. General Von dossier, the war minister, weakly and unsklllfully defended dueling as a cus tom, but was not nblo to disprove tho powerful arraignment of facts and reasons by the Centrists. The resolution of the budget committee of the Reichstag lirfuvor of the establish- mentof a governmental armor plate works was made after the committee's inquiry of Admiral Von Tierpitz, secretary of the Ad miralty, had shown that the empire might have to pay Gl.r.o0,0Of marks more than a reasonable profit to the German manufac turers on the armored vessels building to day under tho present naval increase law. xxx A circular of Inquiry issued by a news paper called the Arbeltsmarkt shows that there are over Sil.oaO metal workers In the Rhlneland who are without employment or working on half time. xxx The Reichstag has received statlstle showing thut. since the establishment In IMC of the conditional pardon of sentences. 22.471 of such pardons were granted, of which over 70 per cent, wt re without re lapse. , xxx The Emperor will reach Wilhelmshaven on Monday to administer the oath to the marine recruit. xxx Prof. Von Hergmann has been summoned to St. Petersburg to perform a dithcult op eration upon the Russian minister of pub lie Instruction, M. Kogolie-poff, who was re cently shot by an assassin. . xxx The unauthentic news published in the German papers to the effect that Unlteü States Ambassador White will retire has brought forth strong disapproval from the American residents in different portions of Germany. Petitions are spoken of asking President McKinley to retain Mr. White. XX It is related by Americans who have re cently returned here from St. Petersburg that in high circles of the Russian capital It Is said that Russia will approach the discussion of the tariff difficulty In the friendliest spirit toward the United States, und tho belief that the matter may be amicably settled Is emphasized In St. Petersburg. American exports to Russia are much heavier than Cnited States sta tistics show, as heavy shipments come to Russia by way of England and Germany. A large German dealer and Importer of dental instruments showed the representa tive of the Associateei Press a letter from his St. Petersburg agent instructing him to accompany the shipments of non-American goods with a certificate of their origin in order to avoid the payment of extra duty.

Effort Will He Made to Snve the Un reached Negern" and Stop Crim inality So Deplorable.' WASHINGTON", March 2. Perhaps the largest movement ever inaugurated among the colored people of tho United States has just taken shape here In Washington, at Asbury M. E. Church, where twenty designated oillcial representatives of re ligious denominations and agencies en gaged in religious work among the negroes, have gathered together te consider the spiritual, moral, intellectual and social progress of the race and to make arrange ments for a monster gathering of the en lightened young negro men and women In the summer of K2. This meeting will bo known as the Negro Young People's Christian Congress. Kishop Wesley J. Raines, Atlanta, Ga., was elected president of the movement. During the preliminary session here a greeting to tho negro was drafted, which, after congratulating the negro upon tho progress he has made since his emancipa tion, says: "Wisdom suggests that In this llrst year of a new century the sensible negro aomlt the shortcomings of his race, as wall tis emphasize the marvelous results achieved, and the hopeful signs of the future.
