TREATY WITH GERMANY.
The Anti-American-Meu Campaign
German Small Talk.

Copyright, 1893, the Associated Press)
BERLIN, May B-Negotiations for
commercial treaty between the United
States and Germany have now been
taken up in earnest at this end Of the
line. The United States Ambassador,
Mr.. Andrew ID. White, expects that,
despite the number OF formidable OBJ
staces that must be overcome, such
treaty as will be satisfactory TO both ma
tons will crown the efforts of the rep
resentatives of the two governments.
There is every reason for saying that the
German Government, and notably the
Foreign Minister Baron Won Buelow, Will
do everything possible to overcome the
difficulties OF the task Of formulating such
a treaty. The Foreign Office is having
the potent aid of Emperor William, as
well as the sympathetic cooperation OF
representatives OF all the German States
In the Bundesrath, and Is determined not
to permit the obstinate aversion OF the
powerful Agrarian interests to stand In
the way OF such an important bond with
America. The Emperor made clear the
fact that he views such treaty most
favorably in the course of recent eX-
preston to Baron Won Buelow. The main
difficulty that Mr.. White has encoun-
tered thus far in the preliminary con-
terences at the Ministry OF Foreign Al
fairs Is the erroneous idea that has
taken hold of the German mind and been
Systematically fOstered by the Agrarian
and other newspapers, tnat trade with
the United States has latterly been dis
tinctly Improbable
ANTI-AMERICAN-MEAT WAR.
The onslaughts of all the Agrarian or
gans upon American meat TINS week nave
been OF the most violent and hercest de-
scription. A number of cablegrams nave
been reprinted from certain papers III
America considerably increasing the vol
ume of these attacks. The kreuz Aeltuhg
reiterated the statement that American
meat inspection is a farce. The Deutscne
Fleischer Zeitung, the organ or the
butchers. stated that a part OF the
steamer Bulgaria's cargo consisted OF
American horse meat, wnich was auc-
toned off at Hamburg, and is now belnS
sold under a false flag TO German con-
sumers. This statement, which mas been
widely circulated, has unfayoraDiy III
fiuenced public opinion.
