GERMAN NEWSPAPERS ALARMED.
WARN SUBJECTS AGAINST EMIL
GRATING TO Ar1ERICA.
Widespread Fears That Products of
This Country Will Compete
With Theirs.

| BERLIN, May 1.-THE "Reichsan-
zeiger,' the official publication, prints a
warning to Germans against emigrat-
/ ing to America, the warning being es-
! pecially directed to clerks, teachers,
/ officials, students, officers, governesses,
nurses and farmers, all of whom would
! be likely to be possessed of some money,
/ and they are particularly cautioned
against the danger of purchase of land
| in the United States, which the paper
! says is easily obtained.
| Valueless land, or land to which titles
| of possession are not in accord with the
/ American conditions, form the subject
| of articles in a great many German
papers at present, and the general drift
| of the writings indicate that there are
| widespread fears of an existing or
| threatened competition between Amer
| lean and German products. For eX-
ample, one paper, in reporting the great
success of the poultry and pigeon show
held in New York in February last, ex-
| presses apprehension that, there will
soon be great influx of American eggs
| into Germany.
| The most serious of these articles is
DR.. B. Bellows virulent attack upon
American meat. The article embodies a
| letter written by the head of the great
/ Armour Packing Company in Kansas
| City in answer to Dr. Bellows request
| that examinations be made in Armour S
| yards looking to the discovery of trich-
| inosis. IN his letter Mr.. Armour con-
| tends that the system ylof exercising
control over meats in operation in Ber-
lin is incompatible with the greatness
of the American trade. Dr. Below con-
| fines his attack chiefly to the American
| inspectors of meats, and complains that
everything is left to their will If they
receive an adequate annual stipend from
| the trade kings" DR.. Below says, I'VE
| may be sure that the inspectors won't
be too particular in endeavoring to de-
| tect trichinosis''
DR.. Won Boetticher, Vice-President of
| the Council of Ministers, has informed
| the Reichstag Committee of Seniors
and the leaders of all the parties repre-
| sented in the Chamber that the Gov
eminent will insist upon thorough dis
| cussion and passage of the civil code
| DILL and VIII not agree to an adjourn
ment of the Reichstag over the sum-
mer; but those who are familiar with
the business of the Reichstag say that it
| will be impossible to retain a quorum
| during the month of July
The Hamburger Nachrichten,'' the
organ Of Prince Bismarck, strongly ap-
| proves the Emperor, s telegram in al
| fusion to DR.. Stoecker, formerly Court
Chaplain, which was published in the
Berlin Post last week, wherein the
| Emperor declared that clergymen
should attend to the souls of men and
not mix in politics. The "Nachrichten," :"
in expressing approval Of this state
| ment, argues that the Kaiser himself
| is the summus episcopus for Prussia
| therefore clergymen are State officials,
| and are consequently forbidden to en-
gage in political agitation.
A great deal Of popular sympathy is
| being extended to DR.. Boetticher, I'm
perial Secretary of State for the In
| terror, because of the drowning of his
son a few days ago. Young Roetticher
on May 14th went boating in company
with revenue official named Jaeger,
and neither he nor his companion has
been seen since. Though thorough
search has been made for them, neither
the boat nor the BODIES could be found
but the oars which belonged to the boat
washed ashore the day after the disap-
pearance of the young men,
| The Prussian hog and cattle raisers
! sat in congress in Berlin to-day, and
possed resolutions designed to protect
! their interests. The congress also pro-
| posed the creation of an insurance
| union against losses due to the con-
| demnation of animals by stock inspec-
| tors.
