BERLIN. Dec. 14.-ECopyrighted 1895,
by the Associated Press. 1.-The refer
ences which President Cleveland made
to the restrictions placed upon Ameri-
cam trade and insurance by Germany,
in his recent message to Congress, have
been followed UP by definite action on
the part of Mr.. Theodore Runyon, the
United States ambassador here. Mr..

matte representation on the subject Of
the veXatious restrictions placed upon
American meat imporuations and i'm
surance companies, and the outcome is
awaited with interest.
The Socialists the Center.
Throughout the week the socialists
have stood in the center of public at
tention. Herr Bebel'S impassionJed re-
examinations against the existing Or
der of things were listened to with 1apt
attention, even by the chancellor.
Prince Hohenlohe, General Bonsart
Won ScheNendorf and the Conservative
leaders. His bitter sbaps at the en-
perOr ELECTED VociferouS applause from
the socialists and his historical quota
tions, showing that in Prussia revolu-
tions have always been made from on
high instead of below. were especially
apt.
In High Circles.
A passage at arms occurred this at
ternOon in the reichsitag between Herr
Holder, the socialist header, and DR.,
Won BOetticher, imperial secretary Of
state for the interior. The latter, in
reply to a taumt, rejoined that he would
never stand in the way of socialists
who chose to crfticise in the reichstag
immortality in the higher circles of So
ciety
During the coming week Herr Lfeb.
knecht intends to deliver a speech on
Socialist Batting" which is expected
to make a great sensation.
The socialists have introduced long
strings of bills in the reichstag, in
Guiding proposals to eliminate from the
penal cooe the paragraphs against lese
majestic; for a law of a. liberal ten
dency on the right of association; to re-
place the special laws of the various
states of Germany; to make the eight
hours worlSday obligatory everywhere;
to make the franchise uniform through
out Germany, and to amend article 81
Of the code SO as to require special
authority from the reichstag for the
imprisonment Of a member of the
reichstag.
Government Condemned.
AT twelve mass meetings in Berlin On
Tuesday evening, addressed by social
list members of the reichStag, a uni
form protest was adopted condemning
the government methods of destroying
the socialist party organization. In the
Fifth election district of Berlin, where
5000 persons We're present, the police
dissolved the meeting when the cleo.
tom of a political representative was
proposed.
The Abendblatt of Stettin has collect
ed and published data showing that
since August 1 there have been SEN
fences aggregating thirty-one years and
two months in Jail and five months inn
priSonment in a fortress imposed for
lese majestic in Prussia alone
1t is now claimed that the successor
of Baron Won Koeller, as Prussian min
inter of the interior, will be Baron
Won Der Horst, president of the prov,
irDce of Dusseldorf. The latter has en-.
gagged himself, before taking the port
folio, to follow the emperors pro-
gramme in fighting the socialists and
aid huSbandry.
German Market For German Cattle.
The Kreuz Zietung, the Conservative
organ, which has been somewhat silent
since the disgrace and fight of its for
nler editor Baron Won Hammerstein,
has finally recovered its voice and in
a vigorous editorial says:
Next to the measures dictated ty
health, we consider that the govern
ment must be accorded the right and
duty to do everything possible to keep
the German market for German cattle
The same applies to American bacon
In both cases German agriculture must
claim as q right the enforcement of
policy in it's own interests as opposed
to those of foreign competitions.
