AMERICAN MEATS IN TROUBLE.
II Is authoriJaUveIy stated that the COM
mittee Of the German reichstag TO which
was referred the meat inspection bill,
which was substantially agreed upon be-
tween the imperial cabinet and the United
States ambassador at Berlin, Mr.. Andrew
D. White, has reported against the meas
IRE and in favor OF bill so hostile to
the American interests that the govern
ment VIII probably refuse 70 sanction Il.
The most unfortunate circumstance, as
regards American interests in the matter
OF the meat inspection bill, is said to be
the fact THAT there were insistent de-
Carnations in the United States that en-
balmed and poisonous meas had been
supplied 70 the troops in Cuba. Represent
tatives of the German land owning inter
ests loudly declared that if the Americans
sent poisonous meat 70 their own soldiers
they would certainly send il 10 the Ger
mans. a bad result is that the bill as
reported back. IS said TO provide for ex-
animation and inspection OF American
meats impossible to enforce without Ut
terIy destroying American trade with
Germany. The bin as remOdelied by the
reichstag committee also proposes 10 ex-
Guide from Importation hams, hard and
soft sausages and chopped meats, and
prescrfbes that fresh meats must come n
whole carca sses or continuous parts. The
United States embassy and the German
government still hope that better counseIs
will prevail when the bill comes up for
discussion IN the open re.chstag on its
second reading, though the chances for
the enactment of the government meas
ure are said 10 be very slim. Berlin ca
bles 10 the above effect have been re-
ceived in Washington with grave appre-
hensi0n. Il Is beginning 20 suggest It
self to the officials that, however we'll
disposed towards fair treatment Of Ameri-
can meats, the German government may
be unable to command the necessary
strength in the reichStag to correct the
Determinations from which our meats
have suffered so long. The results of the
failure of the meat bill are likely to be
much broader than are commonly sup
posed, for it is stated that our government
regar ds the projected relief of our meat
from oppressive discrimination as an alb
solute essential TO the negotiation Of any
sort of reciprocal arrangement, either IN
der the terms Of the Dingley act or I'M
der the general authorization TO make
trade treaties. Therefore, It is expected
the negotiations which have progressed
Off and on during the past few months,
looking to the making Of a reciprocity ar
rangement. viii be practically suspended
pending favorable action by the German
government on the meat inspection bill.
