BERLIN. Dec 12.-[Copyright, 1891, by
the New York Associated Press The
treaties of commeace are now practically
passed in principle and detail by the almost
unanimous voice of the reichstag. The
minority, drawn from the ultra Conserva-
tives and members of the Reichsparter
who opposed the proposed measures, found
themselves loo feeble either to divide on
the first reading or to try to cause delay by
referring the treaties to committee
Chancellor ven Caprivi caused it to be-
come known he would
BROOK NO BULLYING
in committee, and the details of the trea-
ties would in no way be modified. In Ian
guage Of complacent acceptance, Herr
Singer (Socialist), Prince Won Hatzdeldt
and Baron Manteuffel Conservatives,
Herr Oechethauser National LiberaD,
Herr Rickert (Freisinnige), Herr Oerterer
( (Centrlst), and Herr Decken (Guelph),
supported the treaties
The chancellor dwelt upon the necessity
OF passing the treaties before Christmas
The results of their operations, he declared,
would soon show no preference had been
given TO other industries over that of
agrlculturist He with great difficulty,
Kept the corn duties as high as 81 marks.
chancellor Won Caprivi concluded his ad-
dress by announcing the government, with
a view OF meeting the dearth of labor in
the rural districts, was preparing amend
ments to the laws relating to the main
tenance and housing of rural laborers
Upon the conclusion of the chancellor's
speech the reiehstag decided TO take
second reading of the treaties in
FULL SITTING OF THE HOUSE.
On the bourse the opinion is general the
conventions will have little effect upon the
! general aspect of business for long time
TO come. The term zollverein as applied to
the the treaties is considered misnomer.
/ Each OF the five states contracting. while
making some concessions, retains string of
heavy duties against the others. The value
OF the measures can only be shown by
time. The new tariffs when announced
! hardly caused momentary throb on the
bourSe. In Vienna, however, the prospect
! OF an increase in the various tariffs under
the new tariffs led to large buying of rail-
road securities and gave general impetus
! to business.
In the course of a recent interview with
the editor of the Lubbock EiSenbdhn Zeit,ng
Prince Bismarck accused the government
OF hurrylng the treaties. The prince would
not take part in the debates because mem
bers Of the reichstag had not been given
sunclent time to study the proposals
Referring to the inscription "Suprema
lex est regis voluntas' placed in the golden
book of Munich by Emperor William and
10 other recent autocratic utterances of his
majesty, Bismarck said he
NEVER HAD BEEN A SUPPORTER OF ABSOLUTE
! ISM,
and regretted the Emperor made such ex-
/ presSlonS.
Agrarian papers continue their endeaYors
to keep up the fiction that American pork
is diseased. DR.. Brackbusch, noted sci
enlist, has made public the results of ex-
| admissions Of 5000 specimens of American
pork. He found traces of trichina in
about ~ per cent. of the specimens which
passed through his hands. He expert
mented with cats and dogs, trying to infect
them by feeding them with the diseased
meats, but failed entirely. This, the doctor
considers, positive proof that trichina sur
wives but short time after the death of
the infected animal. He holds American
pork even Of poor quality is perfectly harm
less when ii reaches Germany.
GERMAN TEXTILE EXHIBITS
exhibits for the Worlds fair promise to be
extensive. Iron and steel manufacturers
and iewely and toy and china firms are
making great preparations. The Deutsche
bank and international Bank fur Deut-
schland will support the project for the
erection between jackson and Washington
parks of a medieval German village.
