and Chancellor Won Capriyi, on the
question of the withdrawal of the pro-
hlbltlon against American pork prod
ucts, and there are more hopeful
prospects of an early and successful is
sue than recent reports have led the pub
lie to believe. An important indication
of the governments intentions is given

patch published in the Berlin papers,

the Gazette says that, contrary to
the adverse views expressed in the
dispatch, the American government,

reform to put an end to the German
embargo upon American pork. has
adopted the best and only means to lead
to the desired agreement. Press dis
patches representing the German gov
ernment as being in a forced or con-
strained position are entirely erroneous.
Attempts to awaken abroad ground
less hopes that Germany's acton would
be influenced by pressure might add to
the difficulty of the position, but can
not exercise decisive influence upon
the governments resolution. Thus the
Gazette expresses what everybody
versed in the progress of the deli
cate negotiations knows, viz: That
Chancellor Won Caprivi awaits

ton of repeating that prohibition, but
cannot accede to the American claims
und the apparent influence of threats.
The public satisfaction over the admis-
sion Of American cattle increases as the
quality of the imports becomes recog-
nized. The Hamburg official returns
for March show that during the month

were imported. If a lot of 295, brought
late in February by the steamship Am
alifi. be added, the five weeks total
promises a rapid expansion of the trade.
Official circles refuse to believe that an
economic war is possible between the
United States and Germany. Both gov
ernments are desirous of establishing
and extending the closest CONNER
cial relations. Chancellor Won Caprivi

delegates representing various German
industries, prepared after two days

so as to make display worthy of the
country. The memorial points out the
necessity of prompt action by the gov
ernment in view of the fact that Eng
land and France are already prepar-
ing to give official assistance to
their exhibitors. To-night's Poll
tische Nachrlchten states that
the dominant official view is
in favor of representation
of German trades at the fair in man
her worthy of their present develop
pent. Count Schouvaloff, the Russian
ambassador here. returned to the Rus
sian embassy from st. Petersburg yes
terday, ana immediately held a confer
ence with Chancellor Won Caprlvi. A
communication has appeared in the
North German Gazette saying that the
rumor OF the transfer of
Russian Troops
to the Galician frontier is unfounded.
The communication further says that
the bestOwal of the order of st. Andrew
upon President CarnOt was merely an
act of courtesy upon the part OF the
cZar in return for the funeral hon
ors rendered the Duke of Leuchten-
berg. This feeble official reference
is worse than absolute silence.
Count Schouvelotf's leave was cut short
a fortnight. Prince Lebanon, the Rus
sian ambassador at Vienna. had his
congo from the embassy abridged sew
eral weeks through the cZar's sudden
decision to Institute more energetic
policy. The Moscow papers, stimuli
taneously with the Russian organs in
Paris and Brussels, report that President
Carnot is going to Moscow, ostensibly
to visit the French exhibition of arts
and industries, which is to be opened
there in May. An article in La France
says that the presence of President Car
not at Moscow is obviously a feeler for
the purpose of eliciting public opinion.
President Carnot's going or not going
will not alter the fact that the
alliance between France and Russia re-

Won Caprivi instantly authorized the

Bismarck has received a telegram from
the emperor congratulating him upon
the anniversary of his birth. The teIe-
gram was so short and formal that it
was not published. Count von Walder-
see took luncheon at Friedrichsruhe to-
day. He left Immediately afterwards

Bismarck's intimate friends blame him
for his unyielding attitude toward the
