Our Government's Quarrels With France
and Germany.
VIGOROUS ATTITUDES SUSTAINED.
In the Cattle Controversy With France and
the Arrest of Mr. Stern In Germany
Both Premiers Oresham and Olney
Acted Promptly and Boldly.
Washington, May 0. Nowhero in tho
whole of tho correspondence whioh tho
United States had during tho last year
with tuo countries of Europo, which cor
respondence is Just now bocomlng publlo
property through advance sheets of tho
umteu states red book, Is thero oxhlblted
a inoro vigorous Insistence upon the rights
oi Americans than in the course of the
negotiations with Franco rosnoctlnff the ox
elusion by the government of tbatoountry
or American cattle. Tho president him
self dictated a small but most Important
portion of the correspondence In Us earlier
stages, and tho concluding chapters, con.
trlbutad by Secretary Olnoy, sweep away
like cobwobs the specious explanations put
forward to justify the exclusion, and mako
It plain that retaliation may be oxpected
if tho unjust restrictions aro not abated or
justified. .
As far back-as March of last year, Just
after the fact that tho exclusion ordor had
been Issued wns mado known to tho stnto
dopnrtmont through Mr. Vlonaud, our
charge at Paris, Secretary Grosham cabled
that olucer that ho had failed to state tho
reasons for its issuo: that tho socrotary
of agriculture had assorted our cattlo wero
ontlrely free from disease, and that "in
view of these statements tho presldont di
rects that you inform tho French govern
ment that tho United States regard this
prohibition as a needlos3 and unfriendly
interference with an important branch of
legitimate trado.nnd that you remonstrato
against its onforcomont."
Tho charge was apparently dismayed at
tho strength of tho mossage, and sought ta
delay its dollvcry until an opportunity
could bo had to consldor the propriety o
modifying it, on account of other factors
entoriiig Into the negotiations, but an
other cable message from Secretary
Grcsham three days later left him no ro
course, nnd whou ho did submit it, oven
tho French minister of foreign affairs, who
happened to be then as now In olllce, ad
mltted "that tho protest was a little fiery.'
Finally Secretary Olney summod up tho
position of his government in a letter
datod Oct. 12 last, winding up by nn in
timation that If tho French government
persisted in regarding It as nocessary for
the protection ot tnelr cattlo to oxcludo
tho herds from tho United States tho
same process of reasoning would make It
equally essential to protoctlon on cattlo of
tho United States that French cattle, es
pecially tho Norman breed, which Is now
attracting so much attention hero, should
be excluded from tho United States.
From tho correspondence, which closes
soon after this passage, it appears that tho
secretary was proventod from making
good this Implied threat only owing to
representations that tho new French, mln
lstry would bo more favorable to tho Unl
ted btates.
Tho ohango of ministry in Franco
brought about a more favorable dlsposl
tion on tho part of tho French govorn
ment, and tho prohibition was in u fair
way to be removed when the printed cor
respondence closed on Nov. 14, 18U3.
Somo very highly splritod corroipon
denco passed last summor between Secre
tary Olnoy and tho Gorman ambassador
at Washington, Baron Thiolman, grow
ing out of the harsh treatment nccorded
to a Now York business man, ijouls btorn
by tho Bavarian authorities, and whllo
the case wa3 not of Itself groat importance
It socmod for a time to put a strain bo
twoen relations all around.
As was shown at tho time, Mr. Storn
then nt Klssengen, resented what ho ro-
carded as Insolonco exhibited by a potty
official of the Klssengen baths, and was
arrested therofor, sentenced to two wooks'
Imnrlsonmont and fined 600 marks. The
case terminated by tho forfeiture of oxcos
slvo ball of 80.000 marks oxactod of Mr,
Storn by tho Bavarian governmont and
$ho refusal of tho former to return to Uor-
many and sorvo sontonco.
' From tho beginning tho stnto depart
ment exortod Itself with groat vigor, first
to Insure Justice for Mr. Stern, nnd af tor
the passago of sontence tosocure clemency
for him. In tho courso of tho lattor at
tempt Secretary Olney addressed a noto to
Baron Thiolman, tho Germnn ambassador
here, In which he said thnt to him the pro
ceedings against Stum scorned to havo
been gratuitous nud undoservodly onorous
from tho beginning, from tho imposition
of the excessive bull to tho llnul sontonco,
which added to a lino tho humiliation of
porsonal imprisonment. From tho lattor
Stern should bo relieved, and In no possi
ble view of ills caso was any such chastise
mout justified. Secretary Olnoy reminded
the ambassador that onslruugomonts of
groat nations had In the past grown up
from equally small beginnings.
Probably uoono was more surprised than
Secretary Olnoy at tho reception accorded
his note, which was shown by the follow
ing noto from the ambassador:
"In reply to tho viows contained lu your
noto l Hasten to say that i reject as en
tirely unjustified your excellency's crltl-
ilsm of the sentence against Storn dollv
rod by the court nt Klsslngon. So far as
tho United State? government desires to
approach tho governmont of his majesty,
tho Gorman einporor, In this matter, touch
ing one of its oitlzens, It must bo left to
to mako suchapproacb through the United
States ambassador ut Berlin.
But tho secretary's answer was to the
point, for taking up the noto In dotall be
disposed of the first point by maintaining
that all euort uy tuo country of u sufferer
lor his ronci is Dotn logmmnto ami ouug-
atory. TIio position that a Judicial son
tonco roudorod lu ono country "however
absurd and Inlnultous. mar not, with
view to tho necessary relief from It, bo
criticized and characterized as It doservos
by the government of tho country whose
BBOject or citizen is uneccua, cannot no
reasonably usiumcu by any civilized
state."
The correspondence closed In this per
sonal fcaturo with n brlof noto from tho
Germnn ambassador formally stating that
the Imperial government rocoivca com
plaints and suggestions from friendly gov
ernments only when thoy aro prosontcd by
tho diplomatic! ropresontnttves of such gov-
eminent accredited to It. It does this as
a matter of prlnclplo, and In nccordanco
with a practlco which generally prevails.
