BERLIN, April 4.-Negotiations have
been resumed between United States
Minister Phelps and Chancellor Won
Caprivi on the question of the with
drawal of the prohibition against Ameri-
can pork products, and there are more
hopeful prospects of an early and sue
cessful issue than the recent reports have
led the public to believe
An important indication of the Gov
ernment's interests is given in to-night's
North German Gazette. Commenting
upon the American dispatch published in
the Berlin papers, headed, mo Pig-No
Beet-root Sugar." the Gazette saws: Con-
trary to the adverse views expressed in
the dispatch the American Government.
in endeavoring to enforce measures of
sanitary reform to put an end to the Ger
man embargo upon America pork, has
adopted the best and only means to lead
to desired agreement. Public satisfac-
ton over the admission of American cat
tie increases as the quality of the imports
become recognized. The Hamburg of
fetal returns for March show that during
the month 81 American cattle were inn
ported. If the 296 brought late in Feb
ruary by the Steamship Amalifi be
added, the five weeks total promises a
rapid expansion OF the trade.

otherwise assist in the fullest possible
way German exhibitors to make dis
play worthy of the country.

states that the official view is in favor of
a representation of German trades at the
fair in a manner worthy of their present
development.
The Moscow papers, simultaneously
with the Russian organs in Paris and
Brussels, report that President Carnot is
gong TO MOSCOW oStenSibly to visit the
French Exhibition of Arts and Indus
tries, which is to be opened in May. An
article in La France says President Car
not's visit at Moscow is obviously n
feeier for the purpose of eliciting public
opinion. President Carnot's going or
not going will not alter the fact that the
alliance between France and Russia, re-
Gently accomplished, vastly hightens the
danger and accelerates the approach of
war.
The chiefs of the Dreibund will act in
union with Lord Salisbury in reference

in Sofia. Baron Wangenheim, German

bouloff's demand for the surrender of IL.
