GERMANY RAISES OBJECTION.

Sagar Schedule of the Tariff Law Not to Her Liking. An international question involving the United States and Germany has been raised by that feature of the new tariff law which inspired the most domestic trouble—the sugar schedule, The German government, through its ambassador, Baron von Sanrmai*Jeltsch, has made a strong protest to the Secretary of Stato against that clause of the act which Imposes an additional duty of ontenth of a cent per pound on sugars imported from those governments which pay an export bounty on the article to the producers. It is held by the German government that this feature of the new tariff act is more oppressive in Its action against the sugar producers of that country than any other and violates the spirit of the treaty arrangements between the two governments, particularly in view of the concession bv which the embargo against American pork, for a time enforced by Gerthtftiy, was raised. Germany thinks that her commercial Interests in this matter snonld be npnn the same piano as the most favored nation—to use the common treaty term of Europe.
