The socialists differ greatly i'm their
comments upon the defeat of Mr.. Bryan
and their estimates of the results of the
election Of Mr. Mckinley. Herr William
Llebknecht, the socialist leader, in a COM
munication to the Vorwaerts, argues that
there would have been a CONFUSION OF
trade if Mr.. Bryan had been elected, which
would have worked serious injury to the
working people. Mr.. Bryan, Herr Lieb-
kneoht says, is not a scientific socialist
but is rather an agitator.
EX-Court Chaplain Stoecler, in his
Christian socialist organ, the Volk takes
an opposite view, holding that Mr.. Bryan
is a leader of social reforms based upon
Christian principles.

of Hamburg are complaining of the strlct-
ness with which the measures of the
United States consulate in that city are
now being enforced. Hitherto the United
States consul has exercised his discre-
tion in legalizing invoices after shipments
had been effected, but acting under III
structions from Washington, the consul
ate now insists strictly upon legalizatlon
of Invoices before or contemporary with
the shipments
The export of raw sugar from Hamburg
has taken such large dimensions that on
Friday four vessels were engaged at the
same time in loading with 10,3O0 tons or
the product. This increase is largely due,
however, 20 the desire of the dealers to
get as much raw sugar out of the coun-
try as possible before the new sugar law
goes into effect
The preliminary official inquiry into the
conduct of DIR. Carl Peters, the African
explorer formerly chairman of the Ger
man colonial society. has been closed and
disciplinary proceedings are about to be-
gin. DR.. Peters was accused in the Reich
stag by Herr Bebel, the socialist leader,
of extreme cruelty and even worse offenses
to natives while he was imperial commits
soner in Africa in 1891 When 1t became
certain that he would be called to account
for his actions, DIR. Peters in July last,
suddenly left Germany, and 1t was UNDER

moval of Herr Liebknecht is a matter
tina: must be decided by majority of the
socialists Of Germany. and not by any
mass meeting or other body of men acting
for themselves.
The great increase in the importation
of American apples into Germany has
led the agrarian newspapers to agitate
in favor of the government taking meas
ures to prohibit further imports, alleging
that sources of disease have been discov-
cred in recent importations of the fruit
Apropos of the attempts of the agra
rans to restrict American imports gen.
orally, the North German Gazette says
that the American newspapers are badly
informed when they assert that the Ger
man government contemplates placing
further restrictions upon the importation
of American products. The statement
that the inspection here Of all imported
timed meats has been ordered, or is about
to be ordered, the Zeitung says, is also
erroneous
