DIR. BELLOWS ATTACK.
The most serious of these articles is
DR.. Bellows virulent attack upon Aneri-
can meat, which S pu blished in the
EoSSsChe ZeltunE, despite the fact that
that paper is the champion OF the anti
Agrarian movement.
Inc article emDOdies a letter written
by the head of the great Armor Packing
establishment in Kansas City, IN answer
to DR.. Bellows request that examinations
he made in ArmOurs yards, looking to
the discovery OF trichmoSis.

the system of exercising control over meats

the greatness Of the A merican trade. DR..
Below confines his attack chiefly 10 the
American inspectors OF meats and COM
plains that everything is left 10 their Will.
IF they receive all adequate annual sti-
pend from the trade kings Dr.. Below
says, we may be sure that the inspec-
tors won't be too particular in endeavor-
ing to detect trChinoss.

familiar with the business of the rcichstag
say that ii will be impossible TO retain a
quorum through the month OF July.

there will be a full house and lively scenes
when the supplementary military credits
for the reconstruction OF the quarter bat
taliOns Is discussed.
When the reiChstag granted the forma-
tiOn of the quarter battaliOns in 1898 these
divisions were intended simply TO serve as
skeletons and assist TO develop full bat
talons. Gen. Won Caprivi, when he was
chancellor, had to reduce the three years
terms of service with the colors TO two
| years before the rcichstag would assent to
| the formation of quarter battalions.
The emperor almost Immediately there.
! after in an address to the troops expressed
| hope that the quarter battaliOns would
| soon be developed into full battalions, and
a proposal to transform them into full bat
taliOns is now before the reiChStag.
The Radicals and a section OF the Cen
tristS demand that this shall bc the last
increase OF the army, declaring that if any
! further increase is made the term of service
with the colors will bc reduced perma'
nently TO two years. The recent fashion
