BERLIN, Sept. 1.-The effect OF the new
tariff bill has been instantaneous in
Berlin, Frankfort and other export CEN
ters. The very day the law went into
effect the invoices passing through the
United States c0nsulste.general in
creased 80 per cent, and the followingtw two
days the number was doubled. The in
dustries most effected are decorative
china, paperwars and chemicals. The
whole German export trade to the
United States will be increased, owing
to the passage OF the United States tariff
measurs, from 100 to 150 per cent for
some months, if present indications can
be relied upon.
JOURNALISTIC ENTERPRISE.
The Vossische Zeitung printed YER
batim translation OF the United States
tariff bill ON Wednesday last. in an extra
edition, piece of journalism which is
much commented upon here as being
quite departure from the usual meth
DDS adopted in such cases. The bill
naturally has attracted widespread at
tention, and the United States consul
lates throughout the manufacturing dis-
tricts Of Germany are flooded with in
quiries as to the proper Interpretation OF
the new duties and tariffs which come
under them. This is especially the case
with the bigger manufacturing nrmu, 10

AMBAssADoR HuNyoN
The United States ambassador, the
Hon. Theodore Kunyon, has been busy
since his return, but the statement that
he has been engaged in negotiations
with Herr Marschsil Won sBieberstsin,
minister Of foreign affairs, in regard to
the American tariff, is unfounded. Tho
report circulated in this city evidently
caused great annoyance to the German
offiCials, for the National Gazstte today
formally denies that the minister OF
foreign affairs visited Mr.. Runyon in
connection with the tariff, adding.
Such visit does not correspond with
diplomatic usage. No interview haa
taken place in regard to the sugar du.

THE KAIsER's ACTIVITY.
Emperor William's activity continues.
On Tuesday be reviewed his Brsndsn-
burgers on the Templehof review ground.
He is in constant communication with
his advisers on all subjects, ana is dill
gently discussing the plans to check the
spread of cholera. Yet he finds time
daily to take long excursions.
THE EMPEROR GUARDED.
Since Emperor Wiliam's return to
Berlin large numbers OF uniformed DO.
lice are always present at the railroad
stations when he arrives there or de.
parts from the city. During the parade
on ast Tuesday, his majesty was sur
rounded by a crowd OF gems d'armes
mounted and on foot. These preoau-
tions are being connected with the re-.
cent arrest OF anarchists in this city.
A MILITARY HORSE RACE.
An interesting military horse race or
test of endurance ia shortly to to take
place. The emperor has ordered two
officers of the dragon guards to ride
from Berlin to Cologne, 312 miles, within
four days. Each officer is restricted to |
make use OF one horse, and the two |
contestants will also be accompanied by |
bicycists.
bObp AM llC1OLho In NAhs
During the coming military maneu-
vera the bicycle and the use OF trained |
dogs will be tested on large scale.
Henceforth the bicycle is to form part
of the equipment Teach infantry corps,
and each battalion will have detach- |
ment OF trained riders, as well as experts
to train them. The dog is becoming
generally used in warlike operations,
especially for an advance guard and
field dispatch service, although it has
been demonstrated that colies are the
only dogs which have been found really
available for this work, and their num-
ber ia limited and the selection confined
to firet-claes animals.
PREVALENCE OF CHOLERA.
Owing TO the prevalence OF cholera in
certain districts the naval review, fixed
to take place at Dantzic, in the middle
OF the present month. will be at Swine
munde, and for the koenigsburg festiv-
tiles the gathering of crowds has been
officially prohibited.
CAPRIvI AND MIGUEL.
If the emperor has not succeeded in
reconcling Chancsllor Won
Caprivi and DR.. MIGUEL. be has at least
been able to effect truce between
them. This result is apparent in
pu blished interview in which the chan
,ellor is qnoted as saying DR.. MIGUEL
must stay IN Office, as his task is only
half done.
CATHOLIC CoNCLAvE,
The annual eonclavs OF the German
Catholics at Cologne has been largely
attended, but little was done besides
making speeches. There was neither
lnanimity OF opinion on the school !
question, religious instructions nor the
ecall OF the Jesuits to Germany.
