BERLIN, Oct S.-The imperial govern

drew up a bill to regulate the inspection of
American meat exports. The bill practical
~ meant the death of the American meat
trade, and, luckily, it could not be made
ready for production in the Reichstag before
that body adjourned. Since then the situa-
ton has changed. The charges against
american meats have invariably proved to
be groundless. so that the violent press at
tacks have ceased The government, there
fore. has considerably modified the bill.
which is now much less stringent, but some
of its provisions are still highly prejudicial
pected that the measure will be introduced
into the Reichstag soon after its converting
next month The entire Right and a ma
jority of the Centrists favor the measure,
so it's passage is virtually assured. Mr..
White has again taken up the cause of the
American insurance companies. which have
been forbidden to do business in Prussia.
DR.. Miguel, the minister of finance and
vice president of the Council of Ministers,
through his mouthpiece, the Politische
Nachrichten, has issued a denial of the
newspaper statements to the effect that the
recent epidemics of sickness in number
of German regiments were due to American
meats. He also denied that 150 cases of
trichinosis at Sandersleben, near Beinburg,
were caused by American pork All the
cases, he pointed out, were due to home
grown pork.
At the Socialists annual conference at
Stuttgart this week, Herr Liebknecht made
a speech in which he declared the Socialist
party was the only one capable of freeing
the world from anarchism and war. He
further asserted that Prince Bismarck,
"who had more power than any man since
Napoleon, was smashed by the Socialists
Herr Liebknecht added significantly: And
after we have overcome Bismarck there is
now no opponent we fear" The speech of
Emperor William heralding the anti-strikes
bill, furnished material for inf1ammatory
speeches. The proceedings of the Socialist
congress brought out clearly the develop
ment of the Socialists into a parliamentary
party of practical reform. A feature OF
the congress was the prominent part taken
by the workmen delegates, whose speeches
in nearly every case were of a revolution
airy character. They secuted compromise or
caution.
The following story of the Emperor is
creating amusement He paid an unex-
pected visit to the Austrian ambassador,
Won Szoegyeny Marich, one morning, and
after asking for cigarette and a glass of
beer, his Majesty seated himself comforta-
bly, in an arm chair and said: Come and
have a chat
After some conversation, the Emperor
suddenly jumped up, looked at his watch
and exclaimed: "Saperlotte! Saperlotte!
did not know it was so late. Have you a
Empress as 1 have just time to catch the
train for the maneuvers.
The ambassador offered to do the .tele-
phoning; but, the Emperor insisted on doing
the ringing and the helloing himself. Then,
speaking to the Empress, he said: Don't
be angry. dear. | chatted TOO too long WIN I'm
station so 1 cannot give you my parting
kiss, for which am sorry. Goodbye dear
The case of the newly elected chief mayor
of Berlin, Kirschner, and Magistrate Kauf-
man. whose appointments have not been
confirmed by the Emperor, although the
period in which they should have been con-
firmed has elapsed, promises to become sem
sational. The Emperor whose sanction IS
necessary. objects TO the 9,. two pers;oniages
and the Tageblatt says: "A series of con-
fiicts between the crown and the municipal
ity, like the so-called conflictszeit in the
early sixties, seems inevitable"
Some $50 persons who served in the United
States navy during the recent war with
Spain are in Germany on leave of
absence and about thirty of them are now in
Berlin. They are creating quite a sensation
in the streets.
A semi-official denial has been issued of
the statement that the Emperor expects to
postpone his journey to Palestine. The
Empress of Germany, who is~an ardent
photographer, will take complete photo
