BERLIN, June 9.-Herr Ludwig Bam-
berger, an eminent authority upon the
question of bimetslism, and membe r
of the silver commission, declares after
81 days of earnest discussion that no
tangible result hse been arrived at, but
the meetings of the commission have
furnished overwhelming proof that in
the future no conference, either national
or international, will arrive at different
result. According to Herr Bsmberger,
an understanding upon bimetsllism
seems to him impossible between the
different states of Europe, including
England or without England. He says
the difference of the interests of the
different countries precludes any satis-
factory ag reement.
Referring to the report from Wash
ington that Germany has protested
against the decision OF the United States
to place differential of one-tenth of q
cent on sugar imported into the United
States from countries granting bounties
to sugar growers, and that the German
government has threatened reprisals
against certain American imports,
namely. pork, the Nord Deutsche lie
tung today Gays the report is felse and
probably emsnates from Americans in
terested in the sugar trade and VINO are
desreus OF stirring up American feeling
for the furtherance Of their own selfish
designs.
The Socialist boycott of the brewers of
this city and vicinity, which was sup
posed to be on the point of collapse,
owing to the ridicule cast upon it by the
fact that the Socialist leaders had been
proved to be drinking boycotted beer,
has revived with redoubled vigor. The
leaders of the boycott have announced
that any grocery or other store offering
such boycotted beer for sale will forth
with be proclaimed by the boycott com
mittee.
The brewers threaten If the boycott is
not raised by June 15th they will be
compelled to dismiss 25 per cent of
their men.
The nglo-French dispute over the
Anglo-Congo agreement, which gives
Great Britain an additional strip of AT
ricsn territory, resulting in free conlmu-
nication between Cairo and Capetown,
and the unusually sharp tone of the
speech by NJ. Hanotaux. the French
minister of foreign affairs, in the cham
Der OF deputies yesterday. is regarded
very seriously here.
The National Zeitung, echoing the
opinion OF the German press generally,
declares that Hanotaux could not have
used sharper language without danger
of diplomatic rupture, and says such
language renders negotiations difficult.
The COMO government, through the
German minister at Brussels, has re-
pudiated the least desire to offend Ger
many by the conclusion of the agree
ment with England.
Emperor William leaves Kiel on board
the imperial yacht ON June ed. His
majesty has invited Herr Hulson, man
ager OF the Royal theater at Wiesbaden,
to accompany him. Herr HUDSON ia an
expert at doing the tricks at cards, and
Emperor William takes considerable
pleasure in seeing such tricks performed.
After an absence of several years the
sister OF Emperor William Queen Sophia
of Greece, wife of the heir apparent of
Germany. has arrived here with her
husband on short trip to the imperial
court. The relations between the en-
peror and his sister cooled considerably
from the time she joined the Greek
church, and the present reconciliation
is said to be due to Queen Victoria and
ex Empress Frederick OF Germany, EN-
peror Williams mother.
