BERLINERS EATING OUR BEEF.
Minister Phelps Scheme to Have the Re-
Striotions on Cattle Removed.
THEY CAN NOW LAND AT HAMBURG,
An English Scheme to Assist Emni-
grafton to America - Horrible
Crime OF II Jealous
ErCnChman.

BERLIN, March lS.-Owing to the untiring
efforts of Mr. Phelps, United States minister
here Chancellor Won Caprivi has removed
the embargo placed ON American cattle
landed at Hamburg, and it is likely that
Phelps will be able toobtain the removal Of
the restrictions placed upon the importation
of the American hog. Already 300 American
bccvCs have been landed at Hamburg as an
experiment Phelps, at series of dinners
which he has given at his residence here,
has given his guests American beef and has
thus introduced its use in the families
of many distinguished members of fashiona
bic circles in Berlin. In turn, Hamburg 10.
cal officials are making costly permanent i'm
provements in the landing facilities now at
the disposal of the importers of American
cattle. The object of the Hamburg officials
in making the improvements referred to is to
encourage and develop the trade in American
cattle. Chancellor Won Capmvi is now con-
sidering the point made by Minister Phelps,
who asks that American hogs be allowed to
land in the same manner and under the same
inspection as American cattle. The inter
view with Secretary Rusk of the United
States department of agriculture, in which
he Is quoted as saying that the United States
does not ask but demands the repeal Of the
hog RESTRICTIONS is largely quoted in the
hostile press and may delay matters.

GI,dstone's Grcat Snccrb.

LONDON, March IS Special Cablegram to
The BEE. The Panelltes interpret Mr.
Gladstone's speech at Hastings as testimony
to the returning prominence and power of
Parne. Timothy Harrington expressed
himself delighted with Pamell's opponentsin
the English liberal party. They had been
driven at length to come out from their Sc
cret and covert methods of attack and take
up the challenge thrown down to them. Mr.
Harrington said that Mr.. Gladstone ev-
IDENTIFY regarded Mr.. Parnell as the only
IRISH representative worth talking about, as
he had not wasted many words on
anybody else. The speech was intended,
Mr. Harrington said, as an answer
to Mr.. Parnells manifesto, and also as Il
notice to the Irish people that they must de-
pos Parnell as their leader or give up all
claim on the English liberals. Mr.. Glad
stone would find, however, that Irish,A meri-
cans and the Irish people were capable of
getting along without English advise With
an amazing assumption of autOCratc power
Gladstone gave his ultimatum "Givo up
Parnell or lose home ue.n The Irish people
could not forget, MIR Harrington added, that
the man who said this had, when in actual
power, put their home rule leader in prison.
Upon the McCGrthyites the impres-
speech is not altogether pleasant. For
obvious reasons they do not care to
figure In unfriendly criticism of the liberal
leader, but one of the prominent McCarthyite
members OF parliament has stated that he
would much prefer that Gladstone had ig
nored Palnell ana left him to be dealt with
by the Irish clergy and other strictly IRISH
elements. That at present any attack from a
British source on Parnell was calculated to
strengthen him in Ireland,

Cause For Anxiety.

LONDON, March is Special Cablegram to
TIE BEE "A Berlin dispatch says that
should NJ. Herbette, the French, and Count
Schouvalof the Russian ambassador both
be recalled at an early date, as now seems
probable, the situation will give cause for
grave anxiety. Both these ambassadors are
friends of peace, and NJ. Herbette especially
has eXerted himself to create pleasant rela-
tions between France and Germany To this
fact he owes his unpopularity which the
French government can no longer ignore
Count Schouvaloff has never been a favorite
with the kaiser perhaps because he was a
favOrte with Bismarck. On the
other hand he has always main
tained himself in a way to avoid any
friction between the two empires, and this
he has done successfully In the present
temper of the French and German govern
ments it would be easy for an impolite am
bassador to bring a crisis. One peculiar fact
about Count Schouvaloff is that he has such
a large household, and there are Berliners
unknd enough to suggest that ladies of tho
household make themselves useful in gather
ing from thoughtless associates facts of i'm
portance to Russia.

Two Congresses.
WNsnINGroV, March -Mcssrs Allison
and Cannon chairmen respectively of the
senate and house committees on appropria-
tions, have prepared statements making
comparison Of appropriations of the Fifty
first with the E'ifticth congress. The state
mcnt Of Cannon shows that during the t'if-
tieth congress, covering the salaries Of lSS9-
gO the total appropriations including
DEFICIENCIES, " ere SSlI0G3,S5 The appro-
priauions Of the Fifty.hrst congress, embrac-
ing the fiscal years 1891 92, amount to
$9SS. .4l4,l29, u net apparent increase of SlI0,S
4l6, POO Cannon says there should be added
to the appropriations of tho Fiftioth
and deducted from the Fifty-first con.
gress S25, ,32l ,9O1 to meet known deficiencies
for pensions in the appropriations of the for
mcr congress. Cannon argues against in
crcasing the number Of committees having
change of appropriation bills, and says the
system of distributing them among various
committees is vicious and tends to cXtrava-
gance He thinks one committee of the
house shOnld be charged with the preparation
of the many bills for its consideration.
Senator Allison in his statement gives In
detail the reasons which operated in several
appropriation acts to increase the cXpcnd-
iturc by the present congress over those OF
A,14l,4 ,4i3 under the agricultural appropriation
act was caused by the establishment OF
agricultural experiment stations and the
transfer of the weather bureau from the war
department Under the fortifcatiOn bill
there was an increase of S?,3O2,OO0 for con-
trnuing the construction of batteries for the
defense OF various harbors. In the Indian
bill an increase of SL3OTOOO was made to
carry into effect the recent treaties negotiated
with various Indian tribes, An in
crease of Sl,456,0C0 was made for
clerical force in the various departments,
mainly in the pension office. Navy appropri-
ations show an increase of Sl4 10000 for new
ships, mprOvement OF navy yard plants, etc
Pensions show an increase of SllS3l2,000, in
Guiding deficiencies. The increase Of S22
GjS, 900 under the postofilCe oill is due to the
growth of the service throughCutthe country
An Increase for surdry civil expenses of

ments, census expenses, public buildings, the
life saving service, etc. The def fcicncy ap-
proprations exclusive of pensions, were
