Berlin, October 22.-An American
diplomatist, who is in a position to
| know the inside facts in the case, dis
! cussing the German proposition to
practically exclude American meat pro-
ducts from Germany, said:
ut is understood that there is dan
ger of meat inspection bill to exclude
| American products. under sanitary pre-
texts. The Agricultural Department
| will undoubtedly present a bill to
Congress, If American products are at
tackled, providing for the sanitary in
spection of authorizations of German
wines and the dangerous colors used
in toys or woolens, etc., and of the
authorizations in dyes, chemicals and
other such products. Many Ameri-
cans hold that German imports require
careful sanitary inspection in both
countries. Their representatives at
Berlin and Washington are anxious
| above everything to avert retaliatory
measures, but there is good reason to
suppose they will be entirely unsuc-
| cessful if the Reichstag passes law of
inspection which is a virtual prohibit
ton, or if the present system is con-
tinued. Moderate men on both sides
strongly advocate a bill providing for
thorough imperial inspection, thus
| avoiding repeated, unnecessary and
veXatious local inspections of the same
| meat. If the United States first in
| spected German imports and the diff
| ferent State governments of America
then reinspected them and they were
afterwards inspected by the different
American municipal authorities for the
| third time, that would be
PRECISELY THE CONDITION
of affairs American meat now has to
! face in Germany"
The United States ambassador, An
drew D. White, referring to the same
| matter, said:
IF fair law was passed, abolishing
the reinspection of meat in more than
one place, the United States would
heartily approve of it,"
Mr.. White gave his first diplomatic
| dinner OF the season, on Tuesday, in
in honor of Dr. Won Holleben the Ger
man ambassador at Washington, who
[ is now on a visit to this country. The
| function was a great diplomatic success.
Emperor Williams tour of the East
| is followed here with the keenest in
terest. One of the most significant po-
litical features of His Majestys stay
at Constantinople was the hosting of
the German naval ensign, with the
cross, beside the Turkish crescent.
Since the conquest of Constantinople,
| flags, having crosses upon them have
! never been officially hoisted there. The
| Sultan himself gave the order for hoist
! ing the colors. A striking deviation
| from Mohammedan custom was also
| noticed in the Sultan kissing the hand
| of the Empress of Germany.
| In spite of semi-official denial that
| the Emperor is asking anything from
| the Sultan. advices received here from
| Constantinople report that the Mussul-
mans are convinced that the Sultan
will make Emperor William some great
gift, the island of Rhodes, or the port
of Haifa. on the bay of Acre, at the
| foot of Mount Carmel This would
seem
AN APPROPRIATE GIFT.
| for, one mile west of Haifa, at the i'm
| mediate foot of the mount, is German
American mission colony, having a good
school. sixty stone dwellings and man
ufactories Of soap and olive woodwares.
The colony has population of over 300
souls. while Haifa itself has a popula-

The Turks seem to have displayed
genuine enthusiasm over the visit of

Constantinople.
| The Mullahs of the Mosques of SIAM

jesties' departure to express bv public
prayer their sympathy for the Emperor
of Germany.
Dispatches received here from ST.
Petersburg show that the Emperor's
! journey to the East is viewed there
with the greatest suspicion. and it is
fully believed that Emperor William
