BERLIN, April 4.-lAssocieted Press,
Copyrighted, 1891. Negotiations have
been resumed between United States Min
ister Phelps and Chancellor Won Caprivi
on the question of withdrawal of the pro-
hibition against American pork products,
and there are more hopeful prospects of an
early and successful issue than the recent
reports have led the public to believe. An
important indication of the governments 8
intention is given in tonight's North Ger
man Gazette. Commenting upon an
American dispatch published in the Ber-
lin papers, headed mo Pig, No Beet
Root Sugar" the Gazette says: Contrary
to the adverse views expressed in the dis
patch, the American government in en-
dcavoring to take measures Of sanitary re-
form to put an end to the German en-
barge upon American pork, has adopted
the best and only means to lead to the de-
sired arrangement. Public satisfaction
over the admission of American cattle in
creases as the quality of the imports be-
come recognized. Hamburg official returns
for March show that during the month Sl1
American cattle were imported. Ii a lot
of 296, ebrought late in February by the
steamship Amalfi, be added the five weeks

Chancellor Won Caprivi yesterday re-
ceived memorial from delegates repre-
senting various German industries, pre-
pared after two days discussion regard
ing the Worlds fair, asking for the ap-
pointrnent of an imperial commissioner
and that the government otherwise assist
in the fullest possible way German exhih-
itors to make display worthy of the
country. Tonight's Politische Nachrichten
states that dominant officials are in favor
of representation of German trades in a
manner worthy of their present develop
ment.
The Moscow papers, simultaneously
with the Russian organs in Paris and
Brussels, report that President Carnot is
coming to Moscow, ostensibly to visit the
French exhibition of arts and indus
tries which is to be opened there in May.
An article in La France says the presence
of President Carnot in Moscow was obvi-
ously for the purpose Of eliciting public
opinion. President carnot's going or not
going viii not alter the fact that the alli-
ance between France and Russia recently
accomplished vastly brightens the danger
and accelerates the approach of war.
The chiefs of the dreibund will act in
unison with Lord Salisbury in reference to
the Bulgarian imbroglio. Their concerted
policy consists in refusing to interfere or
to permit interfering in the Balkans. A
significant incident has just occurred in
Sofia. Baron Wangenheim, German con-
sui at Sofia, telegraphed to Chancellor Won
Caprivi for instructions as to how he should
respond to Premier Stambuloff's demand
for the surrender of Sochavakoff Caviss,
of the Russian embassy, when accused of
sending menacing letters to Prince
Ferdinand and his mother, Princess
Giementine, and to NJ. Greascoff, Bull
garian minister of foreign affairs. Baron
Won Wangenheim has represented Russia
since her own consul has been withdrawn.
Chancellor Won Caprivi instantly author
lied the surrender Of Sochayakof.
