BERLIN, March 9.-The public is looking
forward to the converting of the State Coun-
Gil on Tuesday with deal of interest. EN-
peror William will deliver a comprehensive
address. defining the scope of the delibera-
tons and the propositions to be submitted
to the Council. The question of the restric-
ton or prohibition of the entry of American
cattle or meat into Germany will be one Of
the subjects which will be fully discussed.
The Emperor, personally. has obtained ex-
haustive information from the Minister Of
Husbandry, Won Hammerstein, during an
audience last Monday with the latter, which
lasted two hours His Majesty took this oc-
casion to familiarize himself with the lead
ing topics ito be discussed by the State
Council and he will share the labors of
that body as far circumstances permit,
attending many of the sessions If possible.
Won Kanitz's grain monopoly bill, according
to the promise which the Federation OF
Husbandry made to the Emperor. will not
be introduced in the Reichstag until after
it has been considered by the State Council
in all its bearings.
Emperor William is irritated at the at
ttude of the Agrariaus respecting the
credits asked for behalf of the Navy
Department, in the Reichstag, and It is re-
ported that his Majesty has expressed his
indignation rather freely respecting Herr
Won Kanitz's bill. 1t is stated that on
the occasion of the recent banquet of the
Brandenburg Diet, the Emperor. while pri-
vately conversing with Baron Won Man
teuffel,. strongly expressed his disapproyal
of the proposed grain monopoly. Accord
ing to the version of the story, the Emperor
said: "You cannot expect me to engage
in usllry with bread" Another account
has it that. the Emperor remarked: Il
cannot help in making poor peoples bread
dear" An expression used with reference
to the navy debate by the Agrarian leader
Won Ploetz, without Kanitz no ships.
came to the ears of the Emperor and was
much resented by him.
