! Health-Other Matters.
| Berlin, Nov. 2s.-The German press
last week busted itself a great deal
about the Philippine question and the
peace negotiations at Paris. Nearly all
the comment has been uncomplimentary
to the United States, which is charged
with excessive greed and political in
decency in formulating new demands.
President Mckinley is also accused OF
Inconsistency" and lack Of backbone
in not withstanding the increasing de-
mands Of the imperial party"
| A number of the German newspapers
have now adopted strain indicating a
desire to obtain a portion OF the Span
ish Asiatic possessions for Germany.
The Kreuz Zeitung, which has much in
| fuence at court and in army circles,
says:
| Germany is materially interested in
the outcome Of the peace negotiations.
more particularly with respect to the
| Sulu archipelago. where Germany and
Great Britain possess the same kind OF
commercial privileges, granted to them
/ and Bremen are largely interested.
| American annexation Of this group. be-
sides being a matter of strategic impor-
lance, would mean. in view OF Amer

struction of both the German and Brit
ieh trade there. In short. an under

Dreams"
No OMclal Proposition.
So far as the United States embassy
| Is concerned, no proposition cf any kind
has been made by the German govern
ment, and before the United States en-
| bassador. Mr.. Andrew D. White. left
| Berlin on his two months leave Of abb
| sence he came to the conclusion that
Germany under no circumstances will
| undertake important steps during his
absence. In fact, the German press ut
terances urging Germany to secure spe-
cial benefits from America or Spain
during the peace negotiations are solely
an expression of the wishes of part Of
| the German people. and they in no way
bind the government. which is now
more than ever DESTROYS Of fostering
the good will Of America.
The Cologne Gazette publishes let
| ter from a correspondent at Manila
| asserting, with keen regret" that half
Of the United States land and naval
forces there is composed OF Germans
and giving far from fattering pic
ture OF American rule at Manila.
The Manila correspondent of the
Vossiche-Zeitung draws an even more
gloomy picture. dwelling upon the al
legged prevalence of drunkenness and
other excuses among the American
troops.
The meeting of the reichstag is look
ed forward to with apprehension. The
reopening of that body was announced
Saturday for Dec. 6, and domestic
problems will have to be faced which
will require most tactful and liberal
craftsmanship to solve satisfactorily.
The anti-Semites are clamoring for
measures against the Jews, the junk
ers demand legislation to arrest the
growth of the Polish population and
to oppose the steady march Of the Slav
races westward, the Socialists are
clamorous for recognition and extern
sion OF the rights of the working class,
the Radicals are insisting on a whole
programme of reforms, the Danes in
North Schleswig are bitterly resenting
the expulsion of Danes, the Alsatians
are opposing dictatorship in Alsace-
Lorraine, and the agrarians are goad-
ing the government into a reactionary
tariff policy.
Such is the stormy sea Of conflicting
demands and interests which the Ger
man government has to navigate dur
ing the coming session Of the imperial
diet.
Their Mrjesties Home Again.
The emperor and empress Of Germa-
ny returned home terribly sunburned.
but they have both benefited in health.
During their majesties' trip the
orchestra OF the imperial yacht Hohen-
zollern performed on several occasions
symphony composed by the emperor,
and while at Messina, Sicily, the SYM
phony was performed at the opera
house, but the audience did not ap-
preciate its beauties and gave unmis-
taxable signs of displeasure.

press OF Germany which have arrived

counting two beautiful caiques which
the sultan gave the emperor on learn

the uniform of the guard du corps, and
he has also sent the sultan two oil
paintings. painted by himself in Da-
mascus, representing types Of Turkish
soldiers.
A young American scientist at the
Hygienic institute here, DR.. Nuttall,
has created a sensation in scientific
circles by the publication of a pamph-
let in which he cites strong evidence in
support of the contention that Profess
or Koch, who is now investigating the
malarial bacilli. has taken credit for
himself of alleged discoveries in vari-
GUS cattle diseases and in malaria,
which discoveries were really made by
American scientists years ago.
