The German Agrarian press violently
 comments on the latest official statistics or Germany'S meat imports for the first
 nine months of the current year, show ing that the importation of American pork has more than doubled, compared with the imports of 1897.
 The Agrarian organs insist that tariff provisions with the United States ought
 to be framed to wholly exclude Ameri- can meat products from Germany. They also bemoan the increasing imports of American horses, which were valued at 4,143,O0O marks in 1897 and which have almost doubled this year. These papers also maintain that much American horse flesh comes in the shape of saus- ages.
 The Berlin Tageblatt makes this in- | teresting admission: Tn German con- | mercial circles the conviction has long become settled that the dangers arising from American pork and the notorious San Jose scale have been magnified just as years ago were the perils of the | Colorado beetle. We are therefore anX- | ious to ascertain whether the renewed attempts of the American Government to convince the Agrarians and the Ger | man Government of the thoroughness | of American supervision of pork ex- | ports and the hygienic results of the | drying process applied to American l fruit have been successful. We doubt | it, for whatever does not put money | into the pockets of our Agrarians they
 do not believe in."

throne at the opening of the Reichstag. The comment was generally fair and calm, many of the papers expressing agreeable suprise at it's peaceful tone.
 The Lokal AnZeiger says: Neither the United States nor England can at tach so much weight to a position in the CarolineS as to be willing to jeopardize their amicable relations with Germany on account of it.
 The Beorsen Courier, referring to President McKinley's allusion to Ger man neutrality, says: Germany has no need to fear this member of the con- cert, with which we may hope to re- main on the best terms"
 The semi official Post says: 'In yielding to Americas demands, one success after another has fallen into her lap. But in view of the entrance of the United States among the com petitors for colonial possessions, re- adjustment of Standardization com mercial relations will have to be made a matter of necessity"
 This view is expressed by a large DOT ton of the German press, but no in- timation has been received from the American Embassy, and it is under stood that even Dr. von Holleben thus far has no specific instructions on that point.
 The German Foreign Office as a mat ter of fact, does not possess sufficient data or reliable information from mer- chants to enable it to put forward clearly expressed views.

REPORT OF THE COMMISSION
COST OF CONSTRUCTION LESS
 THAN S1oo,ooo,ooo.
Recommendation Will Be Made That Both Ochoa Dam and San Fran
 cisco Basin Be Avoided.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, Dec. 10-The Herald s Washington correspondent sends the following: I understand the Nicaragua Canal Commission is preparing a pre- liminary report of it's work, which it will submit to the President probably in a few days. This report will be immedi- ately presented to Congress and will contain facts and figures which will be of great value in connection with the consideration of Government aid for the proposed waterway.
 The report will submit estimates for four routes and for canals with diff ferent number of locks. The variation in routes lies on the eastern side of the lake, it being necessary from the topo- graphical character of the country to adopt the Maritime Canal Company s route from Brito to the lake and through the lake to San Juan River
 An important feature of the Con- missions report will be the recommen- dations it will make to avoid Ochoa Dam and San Francisco Basin. It will be recalled that the Ludlow board suggested that the Ochoa Dam problem was the greatest that would be met, but in the opinion of members of the present commission San Francisco 
 faculties.
 The Commission has. therefore, con- sidered the practicability of avoiding Ochoa Dam and San Francisco Basin and has arrived at the conclusion, l understand, that it would be cheaper or at least more advantageous to run the canal around Ochoa and San Fran cisco Basin and thus avoid the dangers which exist at these two points.
 The Commission will find the canal practicable in all it's details. Even Ochoa Dam and San Francisco Divide can be crossed, though at heavy eX- pense. Estimates are submitted for a canal of thirty feet depth.
 The commission will further find that the canal can be built in six years. Fi- nal estimates as to the cost have not yet been fully determined, but l was again assured to-day that estimates on each of four lines would not be less than 00,0O00O0 and would range above that figure considerably, though $115,- 100000 was given as the mean.
