CATTLE TRADERS xsEr1No.

SAAAAA AAASAh6 A11AANNs
London, March 6-The cattle traders
held o meeting in London this morning
and resolved to ask the government to
reject tho bill adopted by the house of
lords amending the Law regarding con-
tsgious diseases in ANIMALS, in such a
way as to place greater restrictions on the
importation Of foreign cattle, or abandon
the cattle disease act altogether. Mr..
Foster said that the sole motive for the
law was exaggerated by the fears of the
farmers who were afraid the live cattle
trade would be destroyed, aud who de.
sired to stop the importation of dead
meat. !
TROUBLE IN THE CAMP SETTLED.
Berlin. March 5-Princess Marie Anna
returned to Berlin yesterday and rejuined
her husband Frederick Charles, the red
prince, who met her at the railway sta.
ton. Later in the day she was received
by the emperor and empress. Thus the
difficulties between husband and wife
which set all Germany agog have been
amicably arranged.
OPENING OF THE REICHsTA0.
Berlin. March 6-The reichstag opened
to-day with the usual formalities. The
speech from the throne was read by Herr
Won Boettischer. 1t asserts that the
chief task of the relchstag lies in the
Dolan social and political affairs. and
says the emperor's wish, which has been
solemnly and repeatedly expressed for
the improvement of the condition of the
workman, has been met with full appre.
citation on the part of the German people.
Among the numerous bills announced, 10
one providing for scheme for insurance,
after adopting which, the emperor recon-
mends the formation OF q system OF insur-
snce, for the infirm and aged. This 10
intended to prevent any possible justi-
fication Of tho attempts to overthrow the
divine and human order Of things, and
will pave the way for the, ablogation OF
existing exceptional measures.
LOST PRESTIGE.
London, March earl Granville as.
sures France that England intends to
maintain existing conventions with Sou.
dan. 1t is necessary first, however. to re;
store the prestige ofthe English name in
that quarter, as the acts Of Gen. Gordon
are only partially approved.
GERMAN LIBERALS.
Berlin, March 6-The national liberals
have decided not to raise discussion on
the Lasker incident in the reichstag, un-
til the matter has been internationally
disposed of. A fusion of the secession
ist and progressive parties has been et
fected and the new combination is to be
called the German liberal party. Its
programme embraces strict adherence to
the constitution. annual budgets of uul-
versal suffrage. secret voting. payment
of the members Of the reichstag, liber.
ality OF the press and public meetings
and associations, equality before the law.

of all creeas, economic progress. sup.
preston of state socialism, just assess,
ment and taxation-with the exemption
of articles of consumption. They will
oppose any economic customs or policy
favoring special interests as against
monopolies, and advocate the unim
paired maintenance of the national de.
fence, with universal military service
of short period, and with an annual
fixing of the peace contingency OF the
army. 1t further declares that progress
must be based upon allegiance to the
emperor and the federal constitution,
