side, since the great majority Of tho

ca, on the proportion OF 100 to /, so
that tho American government, with
each side detraying tho expense, of tho
proceedings within thoIr respective
sphere, bears moro than its proper
share.
Consequently, in 1891, tho American
government made advances to Ger
many with the view OF modifying tho
treaty provisions in this and In other
respects, including the right OF each
government TO try oxtradted persons
solely on the specific charges under
which their extradition was demanded.
Germany, however. was not satisfied
with the proposed changes, aud the ne
Gotiations, after timo, were dropped.

with firm hand, and at the same time
allowing full discussion.
The grain monopoly proposals OF

This number, It should be added,
about represents the total strength of
the members Of the Reichstag who are
in favor OF the bill. so that there is no

sequently, American grain will not be
excluded from Germany for the pros
ent.
The prohibition OF tho import OF

Wednesday by the state council, and it
was decided not to recommend any now

present time, but that the result OF the
steps already contemplated should be
awaited.

peror William during the sessions of the
state council has repeatedly shown dis
pleasure at the extreme demands OF
Count Won Kanitz.

correspondent says that at Wodnes-
days meeting OF tho state council, re-
plying to q remark OF Count Won Kan
itz, tho kaiser said that ii tho members
of tho council continued to drag his
personality into debates it would be
impossible for him to continue presid-
