BERLIN, July 2.-Considerable interest
is taken here in the tariff legislation of the
United States 1t has been learned that
gotiations are proceeding between Berlin
and Washington in order TO prevent the
possibility of a commercial war. The de-
cision of Congress in regard to sugar is
awaited with great anxiety, many of the
newspaper articles on the subject condemn
ing the stand taken by the Senate. People
in this country are already discussing the
possible reprisaIs which Germany could
make in event of her suffering through
American tariff legislation. For instance,
the Hamburger Correspondent, a news
paper well known getting it's news from
high official sources, proposes that in case
a duty is imposed on sugar that Germany
should raise the duty on American pc
troleum. But in this case the proposition
contained in the article alluded to orig
mated in the mind of the editor. The gov
eminent desires that nothing should oc-
to prejudice the good relations between
the two countries, and Ii is not likely that
anything but very grave necessity could
mar this good feeling
AS an evidence of Emperor Williams
desire for peace and his wish to spare the
feelings of the people of France the great
fall parade of the garrison, which, since
September, 1871, has been fixed for the an
niversary of the surrender of Napoleon III
at Sedan, Sept. 2, 1870, has this year been
ordered to take place on Aug. Is. The
Emperor's attitude of Cancellation is re-
sented by a large section of the people,
who claim the right to rejoice on the day
they consider as marking the birth of the
German empire without caring whether it
pleases France or not.
Prince Bismarck is in better health than
Is generally believed. His trip from
Schoenhausen to Varzin lasted eleven
hours. the last three of which, during the
night, he travelled in a carriage. But
the exertion does not seem to have had
any iii effect upon him. The EXCHANGED
lor made seven speeches while route,
the most remarkable of them being the
one which closed with his request for
Three cheers for Berlin The Berlin
press expressed engagement at this action
commented upon the fact that this was
the first time SINCE 1876 that he had said
Chancellor has always shown himself
fierce opponent of Berlin, which returned
policy.
The beer boycott continues although the
Socialists are losing ground. The struggle
is assuming the character OF a de-
csive battle between the bourgeoise and
the Socialists. The latter are coercing their
adherents in every possible manner The
Socialist election committee has resolved
TO exclude from its support every one
shown TO be in the habit of drinking boy
cotted beer On the other hand the beer
saloons have ceased taking the Vorwarts,
the organ of the Socialists. More than a
million marks has been contributed to fight
the boycott by assisting the saloon keep
ers. Men like Krupp have contributed
largely to these funds. The daily amounts
received average $1,000 marks, while the
Socialist boycotters command about 500
marks daily.
The woman from St. Petersburg who was
taken TO the Moabit Hospital suffering
from cholera, is recovering. The disease
from which she was suffering of a
mild type, and there is no fear that IL will
spread in this city. More alarm is felt at
eastern frontier. The raftsmen descending
the ViStula from Russian Poland are a
constant source of danger. But the great
est precaution is exercised all along the
frontier. In spite of this fact, however, five
deaths from cholera and one fresh case
have been reported from that part of the
affairs ceases within the next month the
imperial maneuvers about Kraigsburg ia
September will be postponed
The imperial budget for the year ending
with March shows a surplus of 12500,000
marks. instead of 1.250.00O. as estimated.
This is in spite of the fact that the army
and navy expenses were underestimated TO
the extent of 100000 marks. The surplus
Is due TO large increases of revenue from
the postoffce and imperial taxes.
An official statement shows that emigra-
tions from Hamburg, Bremen, Stettin, Rot
terdam, Antwerp and Amsterdam is fall
ing off continuously and rapidly. The whole
number of Germans forwarded to the
United States by six lines 1889 for
the month OF June, against SOB for June,
1893. and the outlook for July is even
worse.
Major wissman, the distinguished Ger
man explorer, has arrived here in the
best of health. In an interview he said
