Berlin, Oct. 22.-An American diplo-
matist, who is in a position to know
the inside facts in the case, discussing
the German proposition to practically
exclude meat products from Germany,
said:
1t is understood there is danger of
a meat inspection bill to exclude Amer
lean products, under sanitary pretexts
The agricultural department will un-
doubtedly present a bill 10 congress, If
American products are prohibited, pro-
viding for the sanitary inspection OF
authorizations of German wines and
the dangerous colorS used in toys ana
Woolens, ETC., and of the authorizations
in dyes, chemicals and other such prod
ucts. Many Americans hold that Ger
man imports require careful sanitary
inspection in both countries. Their rep
resentatives at Berlin and Washington
are anxious above everything TO avert
retaliatory measures, but there is good
reason to suppose they will be entirely
unsuccessful If the reichstag passes d
law of inspection which is virtual
prohibition, or if the present system IS
continued. Moderate men on both
SUES strongly utSlIe Il Dlli pIOAlQlliS
for a thorough inspection, thus avoid
ing repeated, unnecessary and veXa-
uOuS 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
state 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 a fair law were
passed abolishing the re-inspection of
meat in more than one place, the
United States would heartily approve
of it,"
WHITE GIVES A DINNER.
Mr. White gave his first diplomatic
dinner of the season on Tuesday in
honor of DIR. Won Holleben, the German
ambassador at Washington, who is now
on visit To this country. The func-
ton was a great diplomatic success.
Among those present were Baron Won
Richtefon, the acting foreign secretary,
and most of the diplomatic corps. Al
ter the dinner, DIR. Won Holleben said
that he, like Mr.. White, was in favor
of removing the matter which latterly
disturbed the pleasant relations be-
tween the two countries, such as ton
rage and insurance questions, by set
ting them amicably. The German am
baSSador also expressed the hope that
the cattle inspection bill would be so
drawn as to be acceptable to the United T.
States. DR.. Won Holleben, referring
to the tariff negotiations, described /
them as being in the itinerary stage.
The German ambassador goes to
Stuttgart next week for the purpose
of attending the wedding of Princess
Pauline and the Prince Weld. He will
return to Berlin, where, before return
ing to the United States, he will con-
fer with the imperial chancellor. Prince
Hohenlohe, and various ministers con-
corning projected legislation and other
matters touching upon German-Ameri- +
can relations.

RUSSIA IS SUSPICIOUS.
Dispatches received here from St.
Petersburg show that the emper0r's
journey to the east is viewed there with
the greatest suspicion and il is fully
believed that Emperor William is de
