Ct~atnr. is in this country trying to
«..-r jjjoat important developments in the*~
-tiled potash complication, which as-
_.-< gal aspect of a discrimination against
jerrican interests by Germany.
\u25a0.»- i mann'F presence in Washing
Mjfsaid to have been requested by Presi-_. 72*1. He has just returned from that
•jy after a Ion? conference with Secretary
•C--C Mr fcl-.midtmann is the president
,tie International Agricultural Corpora-
J2-. *hich manufactures fertilizers and is
\u25a0 jjl-ju-n- r -\u25a0 in this country, with a capital
0- r •\u25a0••
pros an outside source it is known thatIprwr an eatable itdeveloped that.jjtf TCasriir.": ferenoe deveior^rj that
.£(.*? mas not so much concern felt as tojifisagnitude of the business Involved asytert- -was that all Americans wer*> vitally
iaer*sted in the principle at issue. WhatS said to H> an authoritative statement oft»f exact situation was prepared yesterday.
Tie summary is as follows:Tte world"- supply of potash is obtained
txclcsively from German mines. Prior toJrly 1. !>*& the production of all of theQtrmtr. mines was told by \u25a0 potash "trust"c»:i«o tie Kolisyndicate. This selling trust.«• srndicate. dissolved on July 1. 12QS, on£ccoant cf internal dissensions among thepotash miners tx>mprisin:r the syndicate.
After the selling syndicate had been dis-i%\to representatives of practically allit*fertilizer concerns of America made, inPerfect rood faith, purchase contracts fortheir entire requirements with three re-epensirie German mines. The contractswere made with the mines direct, and werefor periods ranging from one" to sevenyears.
These contracts •sr»r«» the beginning of thepresent complication, for as won as they\rerf- rnaJ*' the remaining potash mines.viiciihad obtained no contracts during thefrrpensiori of the syndicate selling: agree-ZXSt. at once forgot their differences anderra.-jze'-' a new so-called •'fighting lynai-<s?e." for the widely heralded purpose of£pr.!:r.c the mines that had made theAster contracts: in ether words, to de-pTTe th* entire American fertilizer indus-try cf pctash unless contracts were maderith this new syndicate upon its terms.
Inaccordance with its outlined policy, thes9-ca2;*£ erhtinc syndicate" at ence begar& carnpaifm of threats and efforts at in-ejß<Ba.ticr. in order to force the Americans Ierd the independent German mines to give .
\u25a0- their contracts, but after six months offcci ineffective efforts representatives of•he syndicate were finally sent officially toAmerica with an offer to compromise with:•-• American buyers Before they Wt Ger- !zz&ny. however, they had prepared and In- \u25a0
traduced in. :!.'« German Reichstag: a billrtich. ifpassed, wwildby it? terms'destroy !the contracts mad* by the Americans.
Thes^ syndicate representatives upontheir -rival in the United Prates Informedtie American*? that this bill destroying«h^r contracts would surely become a lawsr. Germany unless the America* accepted•-<• compromise they offered. Then repre-F*ctatJves of the American buyers presented ;th* entire rnattfr to the State Department,erd. acting upon assurances obtained fromthe Secretary of State, refused to be rr>-*Tr*d into accepting a compromise whichrequired them to {rive ur> about three-iourihs of the advantages they had secured-
--\u25a0.-\u25a0 contracts made with the threenines mentioned.
Th*n the syndicate brought a! of itslarre influence to bear upon the Reichstag-to secure the passare of the law annulling |the contracts. The United States govern-Brent at this juncture notified Germany thatIt could not be piven the minimum tarifftr.fJer the Payne-Aldrich bill if this di.=- Ir*trr4n*rory law destroying The- valu»» of-rr>itr?cts held r.v American citizens should"i*enacted by the Reich=•
\u25a0--resro^lss
*° thl? American note theGerman po-t eminent assured the Americanynvernm«=nt that nothing in the proposedjntash law would b*» perrrrlTteri to "imnalr"'rr°-pxi?tine contracts and President Tsft. ,•Sr>rn receiving' this essurance. issued his.rrr^arri&ti^n Kranl og to Germany thernniTr.um tariff rate.

TO DEPORT SEVEN CHINAMEN.Ctloa, N*. V.. Dec. 27.—Seven Chinamen
who came into this country from Canada
in a boxcar and were discovered here be-
cause hunger ma<!e them disclose them-
Klvea -were to-day ptarted to New York.T morrow they sail for New Orleans and
will co thence to San Francisco for de-portation.
At least half of the gall«" la given overto pigeons, crested an- 1,vi !ted; pigeons
for carriers and pigeon^r : \u25a0 s There
is an especially fine lot of Ite fantails.Beyond the. pigeons are the rabbits.
Prizes in this class are offered not only
by the poultry association but by the Fur
Fanciers' Association. The rabbits didn'tappear to appreciate these last, perhapsconsidering them too personal.
The judges got to work early in theafternoon, and by nightfall many of thecages were decorated. Women exhibitorswon a good many prizes. They are par-ticularly numerous in the pet stock de-partment.
Mis.- Margaret G. Weyher drew several
blue ribbons with her Belgian hares, andMiss Cora EHard got a number of "firsts"and "seconds" with her cavies.
The show wi!l last until Saturday night,
and many future prize winners are ex-pected to come Into oeing in the incu-bators, which are a feature of great inter-est to curious visitors.
To-day the Atlantic Cat Club opens itseighth annual exhibition in connection withthe poultry show.
The tank where the water fowl swim was
the centre of interest all day yesterday.
Snow gee?,-, whistling swans, widgeons,
pintail ducks from the Bahamas, rosy
bill pochards and a score of varietiescrowded the scant surface of the water. A
tall German stork proved especially absorb-
ing to one small visitor, aged six."Muwer," she begged, when her parent
pointed out the stork, "ask him pease to
bring me a ickle brewer."In cages near the tank are other fancy
fowls—demoiselle cranes, rightly named,
with their slender, graceful necks andgowns of delicate gray: brilliant pea fowlsand impeyan pheasants, with flowing plu-
mage.
One of these pheasants didn't like the
show at all yesterday, and a rumor went
the round of the birds that he tried to
commit suicide by hanging himself from
the wire roof of his cage. It turned out,
however, that he was simply trying to get
out.
The show is drawing a large and cos-mopolitan crowd of commuters, who wan-der ur» nnd drwn the sawdust covered\u25a0dates, an.l are perfectly happy figuring
out how if they buy a pair of prize
fowls ti-e eggs will pay off the mortgage
by the end of next year. But the price ofone of these fowls is no bagatelle. A buffOrpington that won a •first" Is valued at|SK . others are marked anywhere from
Sim to SJ»*>>. and a single comb Orpington
pullet owned by Miss S. Carey is said to
he worth SI.OOO.
It re3l!y isn't the automobile show thatis goinsr on now at Madison Square Gar-flea. It's only thope toplofty Toulouse and
Embden ganders trying be make people
think that it is. The ganders are evident-ly bored with poultry shows, and are doing
imitation of motor car horns to the ex-tent that some bantam roosters in theyards near them are kept in a continualflutter, fearing that some of their "steenwives will be run over.
The New York Poultry. Figeon and PetStock Association has held twenty-one an-nual exhibitions before this, but the twenty-
second is the biggest one yet. Ifthere isanything in the feathered line that is notthere, the association hasn't heard of it.Rows upon rows of portly Orpingtons, buff,
black and white, double comb and single
comb: leghorns, black and white; houdans,Plymouth Rocks, game chickens. TYyan-
dotfes. hrarmas and Hamburgs of every
known variety; every kind of pigeon im-aginable; water fowl. Chinese owls, Africanowls, Japanese bantams. Polish bantams.Chinese gpese. East Indian ducks, Rouen

mas are over.

LIMITING POTASH OUTPUTConservation a Mark for German
Discrimination, Says Writer.To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: It is true, as pointed out in TheTribune's editorial and in it? Washingtoncorrespondence, thst the potash difficultyiis a complicated matter. To this fact andIthe activity of the German Kali syndicateat Washington is no doubt due the mis-takes in press discussion of-the merits of
| the*dispute.One of these mistakes is that the Ger-
iman tax law is a "conservation" measure.That Is merely an afterthought to justifya discriminatory law. As a matter of fact.there is enough potash in sight to lastseveral thousand ypars. More than fiftypotash mines have started development inthe last seven months. The syndicate'seffort has always been to limit production,not to conserve the potash deposits, but tokeep prices at an artificially high level.
That the tax law was aimed directly atthe low price, non-syndicate producers andtheir American buyers cannot he seriouslyquestioned. The law was
"'threatened as
soon as prices were cut to American buy-ers by mines that had broken away' fromthe syndicate. These buyers could not be-lieve, especially In view of the assurancesgiven by German officials, that a law. im-pairing pre-existing contracts would bepasse-i. But after getting the advantageof our minimum schedules the influenceof the potash syndicate (in which eightG-rman states ar« represented as mineowners! was sufficient to secure the pas-sage of the tax law.
Th* law does not bear hardest uponAmericans because they are the largestconsumer?, but because Americans had the.low price contracts which it was the aimof the law to destroy.Itseems plain that if Germany can "un-
duly discriminate" without suffering theconsequences, other nations will adopt thesame policy. Involved In the potash ques-tion, therefore, is a broader issue and onein which all foreign trade interests arevitally concerned— were the maximum andminimum provisions of the law meant tobe enforced, or may they be ignored withimpunity? Itmay also be pointed out that"undue discrimination" will probably al-ways affect only an amount of trade smallin comparison to the whole commerce withany nation D. T..PIERCE,

uuwii of bar and of her safety in winterquarters. The Jeanie was uninsured.
SHIP MAY BE LOST IN NORTH
The cook awoke to find two feet of water
in his cabin. The pressure of water against
the door made it impossible or him to openit. so he crawled through a window androused the others. The fires were extin-guished, but the three men rigged a pumpand tried to save the boat. They workeduntil up to their waists in water, and thenswung themselves to the pier a momentbefore the tug careened and sank.
Only two hours before sinking the Rich-nrds had returned from a trip up theSound, and when the m»n aboard herturned in for the night she was believedto be perfectly seaworthy. No one can tellwhy she went down. The work of raising
her was begun yesterday afternoon by theMf-ritr-Chapman Wrecking Company.

TUG SINKS AT MOORINGS
All Happy Except Won-Union Men,
Who Lose Their Jobs.The far reaching effects of the merry
yuletide spirit were responsible for the set-tlement of a strike, and also for the with-drawal of a case in the Supreme Court yes-terday which grew out of the strike.
The strike was declared several weeksago at the factory of Morris Green, manu-facturer of leather goods, at No. 186 Woos-ter street. Green had employed non-unionmen to take the places of the strikers.When a committee representing the strikerswaited on Green last Saturday Greenagreed to take them back at their ownterms and discharge the non-union men.
"This is the happy Christmas time," saidGreen, "and we should all be on goodterms wtt*i each other."
Then the strikers, just to show theirgood will, made up a fund and bought
Green a fine Christmas present.
The final step in the happy proceedingswas taken yesterday in the Supreme r*ourt.when counsel for Green withdrew a motionfor an order to compel the strikers towithdraw their pickets from in front of theGreen factory. So all the persons con-cerned are merry, except the non-unionmen. who are out of their Jobs.
CHRISTMAS ENDS A STRIKE
FIRM FIGHTS EXPULSIONSeeks Injunction to Restrain
• Cotton Exchange. .The argument by counsel for Edward
Moyse & Co. and the New York CottonExchange on the motion of the former foran Injunction to restrain the latter fromtaking steps to expel the firm from theexchange was continued yesterday beforeJustice Page. Decision was reserved. , .
The principal complaint of Moyse wasthat the firm was not permitted to havecounsel present at the hearings of thecharges against itbefore the advisory com-mittee of the cotton Exchange. Moyse de-clared also that the committee was not giv-ing a fair chance of defence.
To this the counsel for the Cotton Ex-change replied that. the hint of prejudice
was not originally in the moving papersand that it was an afterthought of thepetitioners" counsel. As for the exchange,
its bylaws provided against publicity inproceedings of the kind now pendingagainst Moyse. Counsel for the exchange
added that he had "advised against the ad-mission of counsel in the.case, which wasone based on a purely business proposi-
tion. f.^fev \u25a0
\u25a0
He said that the exchange meant fo do
full justice, and if there was any evidenceof a pool to be introduced it would he ad-mitted. He said the board of managers
of the Cotton Exchange consisted of eigh-
teen men. who had neither knowledge ofthe details of the charges nor prejudices.
As it was, the lawyer said, the exchange
official? had no knowledge of the pool.
