Lwaiting Signature of the Officials in j Berlin. Official notice of the signing of the Gerlan tariff agreement has not yet been reelved by the State Department from Ber- ' n, and, therefore, a delay has occurred ' l the promulgation of the proclamation isued by President Roosevelt, putting the r greement into operation. Advices of an a noftieial character reached the State De- 1 artment, and acting on these the procla- d lation was prepared and signed by Presi- s ent Roosevelt before his departure for g idlanapolls.
