BERLIN, August l5,-Despite posi-
tive assurance TO the contrary IL was
generally hoped that the Cabinet Meet
ing announced for this afternoon
would resolve on some reduction on the
corn duties. II was hoped that the in
fluence OF Minister MIGUEL, who still
strongly urges reduction, would have
the OBJECT OF persuading his colleagues
to consent to such measure. The re-
suit OF the ministerial deliberations as
announced this evening In the Reich
zanger shows that although the govern
ment decisions are modified still they
are determined not 10 reduce the corn
duties till absolutely compelled TO do so.
Advices from varies ports OF the coun-
try show that large importations OF grain
will be imperatively needed. The gov
ernment relies on America to supply tho
deficiency, but the public are not so
easily satisfied as 10 that, especially
workingmen. The radical press, In at
tacking the government, dwells on the
probability that the corn syndicates OF
America are not likely TO slow much
consideration 10 Germany II by holding
their grain they can force the markets
and so get their own price.
Socialists are not letting tho grass
grow nnder their feet In taking the full
est advantage Of the gloomy situation
to actively push their propaganda.
The coming Of winter, and what seeus
to be inevitable distress, perhaps al
most famine, promises a rich harvest 10
socialism. Workmen pinched with hun
ger and goaded by savage articles or tho
radical socialist press will fall an
easy prey to the propagandists.
The continued canards OF tho
fresh press In regard 10 the
Emperer's physical condition are re-
ceived here with contempt. kilograms

and devotion to State business on tho
part OF Emperor William, which n Il

glad TO return II possible. Furth-
er, his visit 10 England
is fully believed not TO have produced
the results he expected. The reports
OF the actual signing Of Franco-Rus-
sian alliance are not believed here. On
the first announcement Of the French
visit to Cronstadt It was thought that
the French were forcing themselves on
Russia, but the official character OF the
receptions on Cronstadt have given rise
to forebodings.
