negotiations are proceeding between Ber-
lin and Washington TO prevent the posi-
bilities of commercial war. The deel-
sion of Congress in regard to the sugar
schedule is awaited with great anxiety,
many of the newspaper articles on the
subject condemning the stand taken by
she Senate. People in this country are
already discussing the possible reprlsals
which Germany could make in the event
of her suffering through American tari1
! legislation. For instance, the Hamburger
Correspondent. newspaper well known
as getting its news from hlgh ofncla
sources, proposes in case duty Is imposed
on raw sugar that Germany should raise
the duty on American petroleum. But in
this case the proposition contained In the
article alluded TO originated in the mind
of the editor. The Government desires
that nothing should occur to prejudice the
good relations between the two Countries,
and it is not likely that anything but very
grave necessity could mar this good feel

Prince Bismarck is in better health than
is generally believed. His trip from
Schoenhausen 10 Varzin lasted eleven
hours, the last three during the night. He
travelled in a carriage, but the exertion
does not seem 10 have had any i'll effects
upon him. The ex-Chancellor made seven
speeches while en- route, the most remark
able 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

The beer boycott continues, although
the socialists are losing ground. The
struggle Is now assuming the character of
a decisive battle between the bourgeoisie
and socialists. The latter are coercing
their aGherents in every possible manner.
| The socialist election committee has re-
solved to exclude from its support every
one shown to be in the habit of drinking
Ooyc0tted beer. On the other hand the
| beer saloons have ceased taking the VOr-
waerts, the organ of the socialists. More
| than 100000 marks has been contributed
to fight the boycott By assisting the saloon
keepers. Men like Krupp have contrib
uted largely to these funds. The daily
amounts received average $4,000 marks,
while he socialist boycotters command
about 500 marks daily.

ease from which she is suffering was of a
mild type, and there is no fear that it will
spread in this city. More alarm is felt at
the possible nroad of the disease from the
eastern frontier. The raftsmen descend

est precaution is exercised all along the

| five deaths from cholera and one fresh
case have been reported from that part of
the country to-day. Unless this condition
of affairs ceases within the next month
the imperial maneuvers about Konigsberg
in September will be postponed.

marks, instead of 100000 as estimated.
| This is in spite of the fact that the army
and navy expenses were uuderestimated
to the extent of 100000 marks. The
surplus is due to large increases of revenue
from the people and the imperial taxes.
An official statement shows that emigra-
tion from Hamburg. Bremen, Stettin, Rot
terdam, Antwerp and Amsterdam is falling
off continuously and rapidly. The whole
number of Germans forwarded to the
United States by six lines was 1899 for the
mouth of June, against 1888 for June, 1893,
and the outlook for July is even worse.
Major Wissmann, the distinguished Ger
man explorer, has arrived here in the best
