Spouse to the election of Mr.. McKin-
ley" the Zeitung says, lis not a new
suggestion, as the same cry was heard
/ during the first outburst against the
tariff law, when it went into operation
in the United States, but the movement
was seen to be impracticable'
Pursuing the subject, the paper says:
IF it is impossible to achieve joint
European activity, Germany must pro-
coed upon independent lines, first Gre
ating a high tariff and then giving no
tlce of the cessation of the Most ia
vored nation system as soon as the
government raises its tariff"
The Zeitung says this would have
the effect TO secure the success of nego-
tiations for a treaty based upon the
new German maximum tariff. The
Hamburger Nachrichten relies upon
Mr.. Mckinley favoring bimetallism in
principle and believes that he will do
his utmost to obtain an international
monetary agreement.
The Hamburger Correspondent, a
semi-official journal, says that al
though it is not in expectation that
there will be any ultimate benefit to
the commercial relations between Eu-
rope and the United States as res,Ilt
Of the presidential election, it is con-
WINGED that the bimetallic movement
will rather revive than subside under
the administration Of President Nc
Kinley
The socialists differ greatly in their
comments upon the defeat of Bryan
and their estimates of the results of
the election Of Mckinley. Liebknecht,
the socialist leader, in a communica-
ton to the Voerwerts, argues that there
would have been a CONFUSION of trade
if Bryan had been elected, which would
have worked serious injury to the
working people. Mr.. Bryan, Herr Lieb-
knecht says, is not a scientific socialist,
but is rather an agitator
Ex-Count Chaplain Stoecker, in his
Christian socialist organ. the Volk,
takes an opposite view, holding that
Bryan is a leader of social reforms
based upon Christian principles.
AMERICAN BUTTER.
The returns of the imports of Amer
lean butter into Germany show that
the importation continues to increase.

29S,OO0 kilograms; in 1895, 375,OOC kilo-
grams, and for the first eight months
OF 1886, the importation reached 39S, 900
kilograms

the measures of the United States con-
sulate in that city are now being en-
forced. Hitherto the United States
consul has exercised his discretion in
Iegallzlng invoices after shipments had
been effected, but acting under in

or contemporary with the shipments.
The exports of raw sugar from Ham
burg have taken on such large dimen-
slons thai on Friday five vessels were
engaged at the same time in loading
with 10000 tons of the product. This
increase is largely due, however, to
the desire of the dealers to get as much
raw sugar out of the country as posi-
bic before the new sugar law goes into
effect.
EXPLORER PETERS.
The preliminary official inquiry into
the conduct OF DR.. Carl Peters, the
African explorer former chairman of
The German Colonial society, has been
closed and disciplinary proceedings
are about to begin. DR.. Peters was ac-
cused in the reichstag by Herr Biebel,
the socialist leader, of extreme cruelty
and even worse offenses to natives
while he was imperial commissioner in
Africa in 1891. When it became certain
that he would be called to account for
his actions, DR.. Peters, in July last,
suddenly left Germany and it was I'M
derstood he had quilted the country for
good.
A great mass meeting OF socialists
was held in Berlin on Friday, at which
an energetic demand was made for the
of Herr Liebknecht from the
of 4 n re-
paper Voerwerts. The executive com
mittee Of the socialist party maintain
that the removal Of Herr Liebknecht |
IS matter that must be decided by !
of socialists of Germany and |
not by any mass meeting or any other |
body of men acting for themselves.
AMERICAN IMPORTS.
The great increase in the importation !
Of American apples into Germany has |
led the agrarian newspapers to agitate I
in favor of the government taking /
measures to prohibit further imports,
alleging that sources of disease have
been discovered in recent importations
Of the fruit. Apropos of the attempts /
If the agrarians to restrict American
exports generally, The North German
Gazette says that American news
papers are badly informed when they
assert that the German government
placing further restriction
Ipon the importation of American prod
lets. The statement that the inspection
lere of all imported timed meats has
oeen ordered, or is about to be ordered,
he Zeitung says is also erroneous.
The manager of the Prussian gov
.rnment stud has purchased the Amer
can trotting mare Helen Nichols for
took purposes.
