Associated Press Dispatches.

BERLIN, Nov. 1.-[Copyright, 1890, by
the New York Associated Press.1 The
report of the commission on the tariff
question has not been published, but is
known to disfavor both extensive revis-
ion OF the Austro-German customs mat
ters and combined action in the wav of
reprisa! for the American and French
tariffs. The new French tariff is
heavier blow than the Mckinley law
against the export trade OF Austria, for
while it does not affect Germany, ex-
portation from Austria to France ia al
most entirely checked by the new tariff.
Austrian newspapers are crying out
against it. Protests, chiefly from the
agricultural interests, are pouring
into the chancellorie against any
zollverein with Austria, and the modifi-
cations at present are likely to be very
slight The government does not come
near Austria's wishes for Joint reprisals
for the Mckinley bill, official German
inquiry having shown that such action
is an impossibility.
An Editors Mistake.
Emperor William has ordered the
prosecution of Herr Palzwaldt, editor of
the Potsdamer Zeitung, for publishing
the remarks made by the emperor in
proposing toast to the Duke of Con-
naught, at dinner of the Zeithen hus-
sars, OF which the duke is an honorary
colonel. The emperor called the duke
an able. German officer, worthy
to lead the hussars in the presence
of the enemy. The French papers took
this up, and asked If the future COM
mander-in-chief OF the English army
ought thus to identity himself with the
German army. The French ambassador
to England is reported, today, to have
conveyed to Salisbury an intimation that
the affair was an offense to the French
government. Now the Kaiser denies the
accuracy of the ereport Of this toast, and
prosecutes the editor.
Bismarck Snubbed.
A communication in the official press,
signed by the chief of the empeyorfs
civil cabinet, denying curtly that the
kaiser took any step whatever to induce
Bismarck to come to the Moltke fetes,
suggests no lessening of the imperial
animus. Bismarck received an invita-
ton from Oberhaus to attend as mem
Der of that body, but told his friends
that while he would respond to an invita-
ton from the kaiser, he would not
mingle with the imperial circle unless
he was made welcome.
Calumniators Ignored.
An article in the Hamburger Mach
richter, clearly from Bismarck, refers to
the exultant bowling of his enemies,
and declares that calumnies will be re-
garded with contempt by all right-feel-
ing people.
A Disapproved Visit to Rome.
The Austrian official papers ignore
the visit Of the Austrian empress to
Rome. She remained there two days
under the name of Mrs. Norris, had a
long audience with the pope, and spent
the rest of the time in sightseeing.
DR.. Koch's Consumption Cure.
Prof. Leyden, who is in the confidence
of DR.. Koch, considers the latter's dis
covery of consumption cure, of the
highest value to humanity. Die Nation
says it is chemical substance, which is
injected into the body, and even checks
cases of advanced tuberculosis.
