Berlin, Dec. 7-President Cleveland's
structures on Germany's treatment of
American food exports and insurance
companies in his message TO congress
have created a sensation here. The
government thus far, through its organ,
has not replied to Mr.. Cleveland's veil
ed threats, and the only semi-official
statement has been that Of the Cologne
Gazette, on Wednesday last, in which
reference was made to the disadvan-
tages under which German sugar i'm
ports TO America suffered, and con-
tending that the inspection of Ameri-
can pork was merely of a local nature
which did not warrant the differenfal
treatment of German imports TO Amer
lea 1t is added that American insur-
ance companies are only subjected to
the same regulations as all such insti-
tutions in Prussia, and concluded with
the remark that such questions should
not be decided in a moment of anger
but settled in a manner agreeable to
both countries after careful considera-
ton of all that may be said for and
against. 1t was also stated that there
was no doubt that this was also Mr.
Cleveland's desire.
RADICAL REMARKS.
The Berliner Tageblatt reminds the
government that il had been warned
not TO take too severe measures against
American imports and insurance COM
panies.
The radical Freisinnige Zeitgng saws:
"Our industrial interests are threatened
all the more because the Agrarian party
Wi nj IA IN dy;r
tariff war with America for the pur-
pose Of excluding entirely American
cereals"
The action Of several state. such IS
missouri, regarding German insurance
companies, is keenly watched and the
whole matter Will be thoroughly venti-
lated in the reichstag, the intention Of
the Freisinnige party and national lib
erals being to precpitate a discussion
OF the subject during the coming week
at the first reading Of the budget
Mr.. Percy Batholon, the United
states consul at Mayence, has written
a sarcastic letter to the press in ans
~er to the public statement Of the presi
dent to the Butchers guild there that
American lard Is made from diseased
hogs. The consul says: 'If all the
presidents statements were true, no.
BODY in the United States would be
alive by now"
Won MIRBACH'S VIEWS.
A representative Of the Associated
Press had an interview during the
week with Count Won Mirbach, the we'll
known conservative leader, on Presi-
dent Cleveland's congressional message.
The count said: "The Americans are
totally wrong in neanacing us with
Uariff reprisals. Germany has done
