Press

BERLIN, Jan. 24.-The repeal of the pro-
hlDltlon against AmericanI pork is regarded
as near. The weight of the recent de-
bate was all on the side of the change No
prominent defender of the prohibition law
in the Reichstag ventured to deny that its
repeal would benefit the masses of the people
Several members have congratulated United
States Minister Phelps on the prospect of
the early abolition or moderation of the law
Phelps said to-day that there would not even
have been majority of twenty-seven against
the motion if the opposition had waited a
little. The Government could not let
combination of the Freisiunige and Socialist
parties dictate its policy on such an i'm
portant question. He had long known that
the Government is ready to modify the re-
strictions as soon as the precautions taken
by the American authorities seem sufficient
to insure the health of the German people,
The Government is not afraid of cooked
American pork, but only Of the uncooked ar
ticle.
DIR. Windhorst's declaration that the Cen
ter party waited only tor the taking of suf-
fcient precautions in America, brings the
end of the prohibition within sight. 1t is
now probable, at any rate, that the prohibi-
tion against ham and bacon will be removed.
The Lower House of the Prussian Diet to-
day commenced debate upon the Govern
ment bill for the restitution of the sIipends
Of Catholic priests which were confscated
during the Kulturkampf. Chancellor Won
Caprivi stated that the Government hoped
the bill would reconcile the opponents of
last year. He protested against the re-
proaches leveled at the Government for hay
ing bargained for the support of the Center
party. Cuny (National LiberaD contended
that the bill was a political move by the
Government to gain Center votes. 1t was
complete overturn of the former policy to
hand over 16, 100000 marks for distribution
among ciericals. The Ministers do not fear
the defeat of the measure.
The bulky report of the committee having
in charge the labor bill has been distributed
among the members of the Reichstag. 1t
provides for the enforcement of Sunday
rest; rejects fixed working hours in all
trades; increases the protection to women
and children who labor, and prohibits the
weeks wages III the event of a breach of
contract by workmen. There is a general
feeling in favor of the rep rt.
The interest in The Koch treatment is
abating.
1t is reported that Major Mckinley will
visit Germany during the coming summer

A general thaw has set in in Western and
Northern Germany. The melting snow and
heavy rains are causing the rivers to rise
rapidly. Reports from CuxhaYen state that

will bear him Outi in his statements made in
his report, filed with Secretary Window
about month ago. At the time he filed it
he thought he would leave it with Window
for about a week, giving the latter time 10

resolution passed calling upon Secretary
Window to transmit it to Congress and have
it printed. The preparation of maps would
take considerable time, and he is anxious
that the members of the joint commission
should have them before proceeding to
Alaska next spring.

night for Omaha to meet the National Alli-
ance of the Northwest in conference on
matters pertaining TO the organization. He
says the confederation contempIates no
third party movement, but would always
give its support TO persons who supported
its principles, aud would further pledge
itself to support no one for Federal office
who refused to use his best endeayors to
perfect legislation that would accrue to the
benefit of the organization.

on Frye's assurance that it would not oc-
cupy more than five or ten minutes.
The legislative session was resumed at
II 80 o'clock, when Stewart offered the
amendment Of which he had given notice on

tute the words, land debate on pending

oe offered while the measure Is under con-
slderatlon, shall be limited as proi ed under
