| BERLIN, July - Considerable Interest
| is taken here in the tariff legislation of the
| United States. 1t has been learned that
| negotiations are proceeding between Ber-
| lin and Washington in order TO prevent
the possibilities of commercial war. The
decision of congress ia regard to the sugar
schedule is awaited with great anxiety,
| many of the newspaper articles on the
subject condemning the action of the SEN
ate The people in this country ara al
ready discussing the possible reprisals
which Germany could make in the event
Of her suffering through American tariff
legislation. For instance, the Hamburger
Correspondent, a newspaper we'll known
as getting much of its news from high
official sources, proposes, in case duty is
imposed upon raw sugar. that Germany
should raise the duty on American petro-
leum. But in this case the proposition
contained in the article alluded to origina-
ted in the mind Of the editor. The gov
ernment desires that nothing should &C.
cur to prejudice the good relations be-
tween the two countries, and it is not
likely anything but very grave necessity
could mar this good feeling.
WILLIAM DESIRES PEACE.
As an evidence of Emperor Williams
desire for peace and his wish to share the
good feelings Of the people of France, the
great fa!! parade of the garrison which,
since September 1871, has been fixed for
the anniversary OF the surrender of
Napoleon III ut Sedan september ., 1870
has this year been ordered TO take place on
August IS. The emperor's attitude OF
Cancellation is resented By large section
Of the people who claim the right to re-
joice on the day they consider as marking

caring whether 1t pleases France or not.
PRINCE BISMARCK
is in better health than is generally be-
lived. His trip from SchOenhausen to
Varsin lasted eleven hours, the last three
of which during the night, he travelled in
carriage. But the eXertion does not
seem TO have had any i'll effects upon him.
The eX-chancellOr made seven speeches
while enroute, the most remarkable of
them being the one which closed with his
request for Three cheers for Berlin"
The Berlin Press expressed amaZement
at this action upon the part OF Prince Bis
marck and commented upon The fact that
this was the first time since 1876 that he
had said friendly word for the capital
The eX-chancellor has always shown him
self fierce opponent of Berlin, which re-
turned men TO the Ieichstag who opposed
his policy.
THE BEER BOYCOTT
continues although the Socialists are los
ing ground The struggle is now assum-
ing the character of a decisive battle be-
tween the bourgeoise and the Socialists.
The latter are coercng their adherents in
every possible manner. The Socialist
election committee has resolved TO exclude
from its support everyone shown to be in
the habit of drinking boycotted beer. On
the other hand the beer saloon has ceased
taking the Vorwaerts, the organ OF the
Socialists. More than II million marks has
been contributed TO fight the boycott by
assisting the saloonkeepers. Men like
Krupp have contributed largely TO these
funds. The daily amounts received aver
age 5000 marks, while the Socialist boy
couters command about 500 daily.
THE CHOLERA SCARE.
The woman from S.. Petersburg who
was aiken TO tue Moabite hospital suffer
ing from cholera Is recovering. The disease
from which she was suffering was of a
mild type and there il no fear that it will
spread in this city. More alarm is felt at
the possible spread of the disease from the
eastern frontier. The raftsmen descend
ing the Nistula from Russian Poland are
a constant source of danger. But the
greatest precautlon is exercised all along
the frontier. In spite of this fact, how
ever. five deaths from cholera and one
fresh case have been reported from that
part of the country today. Unless this
condition of affairs ceases within the next
month, the imperial maGoeuvres about
Kraigsberg in september will be post
poned.
MISCELLANEOUS MATTERS
The imperial budget for the year ending
March l shows a surplus of H. 5000
marks instead CT ], 100000 as estimated
This is in spite of the TACT that the army
and navy expenses were under estimated
to the extent of 10000, 900 marks. The sur
plus is due to large increases of revenue
from the postoffice and the imperial taxes.
An official statement shows that emigra-
tion from Hamburg, Bremen. St.ttin,
Rotterdam, Antwerp and Amsterdam is
falling off continuously and rapidly The
whole number of Germans forwarded to
the United States BIZ six lines was 5. $50 for
the month OF June, against sos for June
1898. and the outlook Tor July IS even
worse.
Major Wissman, the distinguished Ger
man explorer has arrived here in the best
OF health. Ia an interview he said he hopes
to return TO Africa at the earliest possible
date. lie considers the victory of the
Italians aJ Kassala 10 be OF the greatest
Importance to all nations.
