Germany and the United States.
| WASHINGTON, December 22d-The an
nual report of Jacob Mueller, United States
| Consul-General at Frankfort on-the Main,
| Germany, has been received at the State
Department. He calls attention to the re-
dictionary tendencies prevailing in that
country on the industrial and commercial
relations with the United States, which, he
says, explains the ill-will of the official
and ruling spheres against the United
States. They dread, he says, American
| hogs, wheat, ard American imports gen
/ orally, but still more the importation of
| American ideas Not only is tendency
to retrogression noticeable, he says in the
political, economic and religious species of
| life, but the barriers existing between man
kind are also fostered and multiplied to
such an extent that the spirit of caste is
again becoming prominent, and the feudal
system resurrected. He alludes to these
| tendencies as the principal reason for the
prevailing anti-Americanism, and in order
that the United States Government may
be prepared not to anticipate from official
| Germany or Austria, hostile rs they are to
American liberty and prosperity, any gra-
tuitous concessions.

vestigations at an early hour this morning
show that the sand, rock and culm had
| fallen to such an extent that the mine, in
which were the imprisoned miners, was
now filled to the roof, and that the men
are dead and beyond all human help. The
second cave-in took place during the night.
which was OF very large proportions, and
the real extent of the damage can hardly
| be estimated; bat it is great This fall
brought with it volumes of black damp
| and sulphurous gases which filled the
| mine and put peremptory stop to all work.
AT 6 O'Clock this morning ii was learned
| that the bodies of the victims cannot be re-
covered for at least month, and since the
! news had been spread throughout the min
ing region the most intense excitement
prevails. Every effort will now be made to
| work in towards the men from the Slope.

up and said to be packed to the roof.
