BERLIN, April 4.-Negotiations have
been resumed between William Walter
Phelps, Tinted States minister, and Chan
ce!lor Won Caprivi on the question of the
withdrawal of the prohibition against
American pork products, and there are
more hopeful prospects of an early
and successful issue than recent re-
ports have led the public 10 be-
lieve. An important indication of the gov
erument's intentions is given in tO-night's
North German Gazette. Commenting upon
an American dispatch published in the Der
lin papers headed, No Pig; No Beet Root
Sugar" the Gazette says that, contrary TO
tho adverse views expressed in the dis
patch, the American government in cn6eav-
oring 20 plt an end to the German embargo
upon American pork had adopted the best
and only means 10 lead 10 the desired
agreement. The press dispatches repre-
sCutiDg the German government rs being
In forced or constrained position, are en-
tirely erroneous attempts 10 awaken abroad
groIudless hopes that Ger-Eany's action
would be Influenced by threats. Pressure
MIGHT add 10 the difficulty OF the position;
but II cannot exercise i decisive influence
upon the governments resolution"
Thus the Gazette expresses what every
body, vcrsed in the progress of the delicate
negotiations, knows, viz: That Chancellor
Won Caprivi waits for favorable moment
to deal with the question of repeating that
prOnlUlllOU, OUT cdlllOI ucceue 10 the
American claims under the apparent influ-
ence of threats.
PUBLIC SATISFACTION
over the admission of American cattle in
creaseS as the quality of the imports be-
come recognized. The Hamburg official re-
Turns for March show that during the
month Sll American cattle were imported.
Official circles refuse to believe an economic
war possible between the United States and
Germany. Both governments are DESTROYS
of establishing and extending the closest
commercial relations.
Count Schouvaloff; Russian embasador
here. returned to the Russian embassy
from St. Petersburg yesterday and immed
lately held conference with Chancellor
Won Caprivi.
a communication has appeared in the
North German Gazette saying that the ru-
NOR of the
TRANSFER OF RUSSIAN TROOPS
to the Galician frontier is unfounded. The
communication further says that the be-
siowal Of the order of St. Andrew upon
Presiment Carnot was merely an act of
courtesy on the part Of the car in return
for the funeral honorS rendered the Duke
Of Luhtenberg. This feeble official refer
ence is worse than absolute silence.
Count Schouvaloff's leave OF absence was
cut short q fortnight since and Prince
Lobanoff, Russian ambassador at Vienna.
had his congo from the embassy abridged
several weeks through the cars sudden
decision 70 institute a more energetic
policy.
Moscow papers, simultaneously with the
Russian organs in Paris and Brussels, re-
port that President Carnot is
GOING TO MOSCOW
ostensibly to visit the French exhibition OF
arts and industries, which is to be opened
there in May
An article in La France says that the
presence of President Caruot at Moscow is
obviously q feeler for the purpose Of elicit
ing public opinion.
President Carrots going or not going
will not alter the fact that the alliance
between France and Russia, recently ac-
complished, vastly heightens the dangers
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 con-
certed policy consists in simply refusing
to interfere or TO permit interference IN the
Balkans.
SIGNIFICANT INCIDENT

Wagenheim, German counsel at Sofia, tele-
graphed to Chancellor Won Caprivi for in

cused Of sending menacing notes to
Prince Ferdinand and his mother, the
Princess Clementine, and to NJ. Grascof,
Bulgarian minister of foreign affairs.

since her own minister has been with
drawn. Chancellor Won Caprivi instantly
authorized the surrender of NJ. Sochoukof.
PRINCE BISMARCK
has received telegram from the emperor
congratulating him upon the anniversary OF
his birth. The telegram was so short and
formal that 1t was not published. Prince
Bisnarck's intimate friends blame him for
his attitude toward the emperor.
The emperor and Prince Henry Of Russia
were present to-day at the launching al
kiel Of new German cruiser. Prince
Henry christened the vessel ''Falka."
The Empress Frederick will return here

stration will be made in her honor in reply
to the hostile manifestations made toward
her during her recent visit 10 Paris.
