BERLIN, Dec. S-Presidsnt Cleve-
land's structures on Germany's trsst-
ment of American food exports and in
surance companies in his message to con-
grese, created a sensation here. The
government thus far, through it's organs
have not replied to Cleveland's yelled
threats, aud the only semi-ofiicial state
meut has been that of the Cologne Ga
zette Wednesday last, in which reference
was made TO the disadvantages under
which German sugar imports to Ameri-
ca had suffered, and contendIDg that
the inspection Of American pork was
merely of local nature, which did not
warrant the differeDtiHl treatment Of the
German imports of America. American
iusursnce companies we're only subject
ed to the same regulations IS all such
institutions in Prussia, and concluded
with the remark that such questions
should not be decided in moment of
anger. The action of several states
such as Missouri, regarding German in
surance companiee, is keenly watched,
and the whole matter will be thorough
iy ventilated in the Re:chstag.
A representative of the Associated
Press iatervie we'd Count Won Mirbach,
the well known conservative leader, on
Cleve!and's message. The count said:
"Americaus are totally wrong in menac-
ing US with tariff reprisals. Germany
has dono no more In shutting out Amer
lean food sJutfs Of VIGOROUSLY inferior
quality than hygeinlc considerations and
the care OF tie people welfare demand.
''fhe trouble with American insurance
companies is solely due to their unwill-
ingness or inability to comply with our
insurance laws. No more is asked Of
them than of our own companies"
Herr Richter, leader of the Freissin-
ige party eaid: "This tariff war between
the United States and Germany is the
natural outcome of the tariff policy pur-
sued by both sides favoring raw pro-
ducts at the expense OF manufacturers.
L is high time both countries came to
an amicable understanding on the SUBJ
iect. fear though, things will grow
worse before they grow better, fer the
Agr8risn party is much stronger than @
year ago and bent upon making trou BILE :"
The fall of Bar Won Keeller, late Prus-
sian minister for the interior, is still the
sensation in local politics, but has not
led to a cessation Of the police campaign
against Socialists. Indictments have
been found in Berlin courts against
Herr Leibknecht ard Herr Rebel and
81 other Socialist leaders. In addition,
three editors of the Vorwaerts, the So
cialist organ, are now in Ill and the rest
OF the editorial staff are under indict-
ment. Six Socialist members of the
Reichstag have been indicated.
