Journal Special Service. Washington, Feb. 12.Trade war be tween the United States and Germany may be averted for another year and the maximum tariff rates on American goods imported into Germany may not be imposed March 1 next. Secretary Eoot and the other officials of the department of state were under the impression that they had exhausted every resource in endeavoring to pre vent a commercial war, but they have discovered a means by which the war mav be postponed for twelve months, and in the meantime some legislation may be enacted which will permanently adiust the differences. It has been discovered that the treaty of 1828 between Prussia and the United States, which contains the most favored nation, cause, has not been re nounced and that a year's notice is re quired to be given before this treaty becomes inorperative. If any relief for the United States is to be obtained from this source, however, it means the threshing over again of an old diplo matic control ersy which was thoroly ventilated 1899 and 1900 by the late Secretary Hay and Count von Holleben, then the Geiman representative to the United States. I was out of that correspondence that the present agree ment with Germany was reached.

The story of the smallpox out break on the whalei was told today by Mrs. M. J.

The whaling vessel put into Eio de Janeiro after two of its crew had died of smallpox and with seven others ill with the disease and the twenty-seven to get ashore. Th cruise began, Mrs Haggerty said, last October irom the island of Fayal in the Azores. After the brig had been out some time the smallpox started with one cas.e. The disease spread until nine sailors were ill. Days followed when, owing to the fear which spread among the members of the crew, the brig drifted along al most like a deserted ship. With Mrs. Haggerty on board the vessel were her two children. After landing at Rio de Janeiro she remained until the disease had been stamped out on the Sullivan.

Willemstad, Curacao, Friday, Feb. 9. One report from Venezuela is that Vice President Vincente Gomez is said to be plotting a revolution against President Castro in case of a French blockade. It is reported also that General An tonio Velutini, second vice president, has a secret understanding with France, and that he aspires to the presidency. All the turmoil over the French Cable company's concession is attributed to General Velutini, and it is said that he will soon abandon President Castro. To Test Monroe Doctrine. President Castro is said to be boast ing that he would test the Monroe doc trine. The reports say that the best infor mation in Venezuela shows that France or anw other nation can rely upon almost the entire populace to fight President Castro, and that anxiety is everywhere expressed for the arrival of the French to solve the problem, which is beyond the resources of the Venezuelans. Money will be decidedly scarcer if, a war should break out, and the Venezuelan government has made no provision whatever for the commis sariat.

For this Very reason they are persons who would feel acutely a punishment by imprisonment, and that penalty ought to be provided in any law which we pass.'' Experience Abroad. Mr. Lodge reviewed the experience of other governments, including most of the European countries, Canada and Australia, in government controkof rate making, and added: 1 the matter of Ais rrequired a or otherwise. reporThte commission isa to congress. The resolution is the result of the complaints in West Virginia, but that state is not specifically mentioned in the resolution. Mr. Tillman took the matter before the committee today and it ordered a ''This examination shows us that it is not only entirely possible to abolish all discriminations between personsthat is, all rebates or undue preferences but that this has been actually and ef fectively accomplished in other coun tries. I is proved beyond a doubt that personal discriminations can be utterly extirpated, and if it has been in other countries? it can be done here by suit able legislation. On the second point of excetsive rates, the experience of other countries demonstrates that whatever good ef fects government ratemaking has had, it has not lowered rates, but, on the con trary, has made them not only higher, but inelastic. "Government ratemaking in this countrydirected as it can only be against plain discrimination and exces sive ratestherefore, if the experience ot all the rest ofreduce the world is any value and I regret it as conclusive, woul0r* either not reduce the rates at ,nd did the rateof gen -l erally, it would destroy the profits of the roads and lower the wages of those employed upon them unless we accept the other alternative of government ownership, with the roads run at a loss and the people taxed to carry them on.

Whatever at tempt to remedy place discriminations we may make, we should so guard it as to avoid applying a remedy far worse than the disease. "The experience of the world leads me to doubt most seriously whether any government rate-making, with a view to curing place discriminations, can be effected without bringing a change for the worse but if it islio be tried at all, it ought not to go beyond the fixing of a maximum rate by the com mission, with the most absolute pro tection against hasty or prejudiced ac tion thru the provision for' an appeal to the courts of the country.

New-York, Feb. 12^-John Mitchell, president of the United Mine Workers of America, who is in this city to con fer with the operators of the anthracite mines, said today that he did not care to discuss the statement given out by Piesident Dolan of the Pittsburg dis trict yesterday. I this statement Dolan said that President Mitchell was coming to New York "to ask the an thracite operators for a contract which he has not the power to-enter into, as the national convention has tied him hand and foot." He also attacked President Mitchell's conduct of coal strikes in the past and declared that every jsjtrike in the soft coal regions under "niS leadership has ended in failure. 3*1J "What do you Jthink. of Patrick Dolan's attaqk on* you&before the Pitts- r.

This seems to me to strike at the very heart of the measure. I am anxious to see this legislation, but I not yet prepa*ed to substitute for the courts or the United States an ex ecutive committee. Legislation cannot prevent an appeal to the courts if it is alleged that the rate is confiscatory but this is a very narrow ground and a very limited right. A rate may not be absolutely confiscatory and yet may be in the highest degree uniust and unDakota reasonable, and, indeed, well nigh ruin ous. I am not sure that it would be possible to deprive a citizen by legisla tion of the right to appeal to the courts as to the ."justice and reasonableness of a given rate, which is a purely judicial question. But no attempt ought to be made, either directly or indirectly, by silence or by assertion, to destroy this privilege, or rather, this right. We are about to pass a great meas ure from which, I hope, great good may come, but one which, in its operation, will affect tlje property and interests of millions of our fellow citizens. I should be guarded with scrupulous care, but above all, it should provide that no1 man should be deprived of his oppor tunity to go to the courts in defense of his rights if he thinks those rights are invaded.''

BIG LAND DEALS Clark Land and Loan Company Having More Than a Busy Season Beady for Spring Bush. Every indication points to the con clusion that the coming season will witness the greatest activity in real estate that has ever been known in this section of the country. I would seem that peopl everywhere wh havet have determineod tha this is about their last opportunity to et into real estate on the ground floor, 'arm lands have been decidedly active for several years past, but the demand at this particular time of the year has never before been so great. More sales were made in January than in either November or December, while so far for February the record of those months has been more than distanced. Among the more important deals for the month is the sale of seventy-one quarters west of Chamberlain to a Chi cago syndicate by the Clark Land & Loan company of this cit^t and the sale by the same company toV Dayton, Ohio, syndicate of fifty-four quarters in Brown, Edmunds and Walworth counties. During the past four weeks this land company has sold nineteen quarters in Edmunds and McPherson counties to individuals in quarter and half-section lots, besides effecting many isolated transfers in other localities. This company is fully prepared to cope with the biggest kind of a land rush this spring. I has a small ware house full of automobiles, to say noth ing of horses and vehicles, a,nd has a list of lands the equal of which can be found in no other office in this state. During the past two weeks the News has had orders from the Clark company for 15,000 copies of the South Compendium, the best advertis ing medium that has ever been devised for South Dakota as a whole, and from this it will be seen that not a little of the light that has been spread abroad relative to the conditions in South Dakota is due to the enterprise of this firm.

Dunlap made comparisons between himself ana stock market captains of industry, asserting that the moneyed chiefs were quite as criminal as he ever was. The manuscript of the dead man, who willed his brain to scientific research, is in ~the possession of Dr. J. Chalmers i Da Costa of Jefferson hospital, thru whose efforts Dunlap was released from the penitentiary four years ago. The story of Dunlap's life, as told by him self, is entitled "The Life and Crimes] of a Burglar." Dunlap narrated how he committed crime by robbing banks and dwellings, and declared that there was little dif ference between his lawbreaking and operations of high financiers. He declared that in the many robberies and other crimes which, he never did he take- Boys' 9c Rubbers, with heavy rolled edge soles, all sizes, ACkp 1 at pair ,*S7i Several styles of men's 65c W ibofr* committed,th life whereas ruin wrought by the stock market has been responsible for many a blighted career and many a death. The men high up in financial circles are the real criminals, he wrote, but declared this connection that they were not near ly so dexterous in robbery as an out and-out burglar, who enters the bank and makes safe his escape with the loot. The burglar declared that the school of the old burglar is now extinct, and he added that the criminal of the pres ent day does his robbing thru the stock market. A most interesting feature of the book is Dunlap's account of his life and the manner in which heworked single-handed. explained that he operated in this manner, as he had no wish fo draw others into wrongdoing. This, the burglar insisted, proved his contention that he was not a burglar of his own free will, but that his pe culiar brain was responsible for Ms criminal life. TRANS-ANDINE ROAD OPENED.
