BERLIN, April .-Negofistionshaye been
resumed between United States Minister
Phelps and Chancellor Won Csprivi on the
question Of the withdrawal Of the prohi-
oitlon against American pork products
and there are more hopeful prospects of
an early and successful issue than recent
reports have led the public to believe. An
important indication of the Governments
intentions is given In to-nighps North Ger
man Gdzete. Commenting upon an Ameri-
can dispatch published in the Berlin ps-
pers headed :" No Pig; No Beet-Root Su-
gar, the CARTE says that, contrary to the
ADVERSE views expressed in the dispatch,
the American Government in endeavoring
oy measures OF sanitary reform to put an
ena 70 the German embargo upon Ameri-
can pork, has adopted the best and only
means to lead to the desired agreement.
GERMANY NOT TO BE FORCED.
The press dispatches representing the
herman Government rs being in q forced
or constrained position are entirely en-
roneous. Attempts to awaken abroad
would be influenced by pressure might
add to the difficulty of the position, but
cannot exercise a decisive influence upon
the Governments resolution.
mus the Gdzets expresses what every
body versed in the progress OF the delicate
negotiations knows-viz. that Chancellor
yon, Caprivi awaits favorable moment TO
deal with the question Of repeating that
prohibition, but cannot accede to the
American claims under tho apparent in
huence OF threats.
NEGOTIATIONS OF AMERICAN CATTLE.
Public satisfaction over the admission OF
American cattle increases as the quality OF
the imports become recognized. The
Hamburg official returns for March show
that during the month sl1 American cattle
were imported. II a lot OF 296 brought
late in February by the steamship Amalfi
be added. The five weeks total promises
rapid expansion Of the trade. Official cir
cles refuse TO believe that an economic war
ls possible between the United States and
Germany. Both Governments are de-
sirous of establishing and extending the
closest commercial relations.
GERMANY AND OUR FAIR.
Chancellor Won Caprivi yesterday re-
ceived memorial from delegates repre-
senting various German industries, pre-
pared after two days discussion regarding
the Chicago Worlds Fair, asking for the
appointment of an imperial commissioner
and that the Government otherwise assist
in the fullest possible way German ex-
hibitors so as TO make display worthy OF
the country. The memorial points out the
necessity of prompt action by the Govern:
ment in view Of the fact that England and
France are already preparing TO give official
assistance to their exhibitors. To-night's
Poliische Ndchrichten states that the domi-
nant official view is in favor of the repre-
sentation of German trades at the fair in q
manner worthy of their present develop
ment.
SIGNIFICANT RUSSIAN novEBESTs.
Count Schouvaloff, the Russian Ambas-
sador here, returned to the Russian En-
bassy from st. Petersburg yesterday and
Immediately held q conference with Chan
| cellor Won Caprivi. A communication has
appeared IN the North German Gdzette say
| ing that the rumor of transfer of Russian
| troops to the Galician frontier is inbound
ed. 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 Gar in
| return for the funeral honors rendered the
Duke of Leuchtenberg. This feeble official
| reference is worse than absolute silence.
| Count Schouvaloff's leave was cut short a

oARsor GOING TO MOSCOW.
The Moscow papers, simultaneously with
| the Russian organs in Paris and Brussels,
report that President Carnot is going to
Moscow ostensibly to visit the French ex-
| hibition Of arts aud industries which is to
| be opened there in May. An article in La
| France says that the pretence of President
| Carnot's going to Moscow is obviously a
feelor for the purpose OF eliciting public
opinion. President CARROTS going or not
going will not alter the fact that the alli-
ance between France and Russia recently
accomplished vastly heightens the danger
and aocelerates the approach OF war.
THE BULGARIAN CRISIS.
The chiefs of the Dreibund will act in
unison with Lord Salisbury in reference to
the Bulgarian imbroglio. Their concerted
policy consists in simply refusing TO in
terfere or to permit interference in the
Balkans.
A significant incident has just occurred
in Sofia. Baron ven Wangenheim, the
German Consul at Sofa, telegraphed to
Chancellor Won Caprivi for instructions as
TO how he should respond to Premier
Stambuloff's demand for the surrender OF
N. Sochovukoff, CANVASS of the Russian
Agency, who is accused OF sending men
aoing letters TO Prince Ferdinand and his
mother, the Princess Clementine, and to
M, Grescof, Bulgarian Minister of Foreign
Affairs. Boron Won Wagenheim represents
Russia since her own Minister has been
withdrawn. Won Caprivi instantly au-
thorized the surrender OF II. Sochovukof.
prs,tIRcKrlgA.
Prince Bismarck has received telegram
from the Emperor congratulating him on
the anniversary OF his birth. The tele-
gram was 80 short and formal that it was
not published. Count Won Waldersee took
luncheon at Friedrichsruhe to-day. He
left Immediately afterwards to meet the
Emperor at Lubec. Prince Bismarck's in
innate friends blame him for his unyield-
ing attitude towards the Emperor.
The Freissinnige papers continue to pile
up accusations against the Prince OF NAL
lion marks of the fund, it is now stated,
were used by Bismarck in support of his
personal policy. The Prince insists upon
maintaining absolute silence, and will not
permit his friends to respond to the
charges until they become O question tor
the consideration of the Reichstag. The
Government Guelph fund bill does not
mention any withdrawal or the decree
relative to the sequestration of the proper
ty of the Royal House of Hanover.
