When the Marsh letter was lirst introduced the defense admitted that it was dic tated by Col. Sutton at Marsh's request and written in the corporation coun sel's ollice. When tho governor's order was introduced Mr. Stevenson's cross examination indicated that the defense would claim that the governor's signa ture was forced by Col.

S. for Speedy Cloae of the War In South Africa but Will Itemuln Neutral Reception to Trauavaal Envoys. An audience remarkable for its size, sympathy and enthusiasm greeted the Hoer envoys at the reception given in their honor at the Grand opera house, Washington, on tho 20th, under tho auspices of the congressional and citi zens' committee.

I'nde Sam Decline to Inferfere. The state department has met the is sue raised by the coming to Washing ton of the Doer delegation by declining to interfere in behalf of the South African republics in the present strug gle. In view of this announced decis ion all questions as to the character of the recognition to be extended to the delegates and tho sufficiency of their credentials dropped at once into tho back-ground. It was, after all, of little moment whether or not the lloers were received as diplomatic agents or ministers, so long as they were power less to promote tho prime object of their mission, namely, cause the U. S. government to intervene to bring about peace. The President sympathizes heartily in tho sincere desire of all the people of the II. S. that tlie war which is now afilicting South Africa may, for the sake of both parties engaged, come to a speedy close; but, having done his full duty in preserving a strictly neu tral position between them and in seiz ing the lirst opportunity that presented itself for tendering his good offices in the interests of peace, he feels that, in the present circumstances, no course is onen to him except to persist in the policy of impartial neutrality. To deviate from this would be contra r$' to all our traditions and all our national interests, and would leao. to conse quences which neither the President nor the people of tho U. S. could regard with favor. Germany to lnntall a Higher Tariff.

Mr. Mason says that Germany has been paralyzed at the enormous upward lound of the foreign trade of the U. S. and as German merchants have come to the conclusion that the prosperty is at tributed entirely to tho U. S. tariff laws, and arguing that a similar policy could not fail to benefit German', they propose a revision of their tariff on the lino of a general .and heavy increase of duties, especially upon imports from thcU.
