Will Be Retaliation.


An American exporter. who is in the
confidence of the Washington admin
istration, and who is now here, said
bluntly:
IF Germany passes a law requiring,
in addition to the American official GER
tificates of the healthy condition of the
meat exports, which are as reliable as
the German certificates, a double IN
spection after the arrival of the meat
here, that will be tantamount to a pro-
hibition against American meat, and
such action will doubtlessdy be an
swered by retaliation on German eX-
ports to the United States. Every bot
tie of German wine will be opened and
its hygienic qualities tested"
A strong point of the minister of in
terror Count Posadowski-W ehner, was
that the bill was intended by the gov
eminent as a 'transitory measure I'M
til Germany produces enough meat Tor
her own people, which, it is believed,
Will not take long"
The correspondent here of the Asso-
ciated Press learns from the best
sources that while the state depart
ment at Washington has, from time to
time instructed the United States en-
bassy to present the American views OF
the differences which have arisen on
the subject 1.-The mosr favored ma
ton clause in the commercial treat
les, formal instructions have not been
received at the Berlin embassy, look
ing to the negotiations for an entirely
new reciprocity treaty.
Oppose Duke of Connaught.
The Duke of Connaught's accession
TO the throne of SaXe-Gotha continues
to be discussed, and some comments
are quite radical. The Cologne Gazette
seated quite bluntly that the people VIII
not view the matter with any sympa-
thy, las person belonging to another
race and speaking another language,
no matter how excellent in his private
capacity, ought not to sit on a German
throne" A number of other papers
speak in the same vein.
The Correspondence and DeutSche
Zeitung, replying to statements in the
British press, declare it to be an unde-
sirable anomaly, which ought to be put
10 a. speedy end; that a. man belong
ing to country which recently talked
warike and fiercely against Germany
should as one of the German rulers,
be put into all the secrets of the de-
Tense of the country"
Emperor William this week INDUCED
in his favorite pastime of alarming the
Berlin garrison, a process competing
every man and officer, no matter how
engaged, to hurry on in full field equip
ment To the Temple Hoff field, where
maneuVers are worked out in the pres
ence of his majesty. With remarkable
speed and exactness, the whole corps
was divided into a west-east force for
the purpose of a sham battle. His ma
jesty's suite were a number of French
officers, who are now stopping in Ber-
lin to whom he showed much courtesy,
inviting thpn 10 lunch.
The approach of May 1 again brings
up the question OF Labor day. The
Voerwarts strongly favors the celebra-
ton of what it calls the worlds labor
holiday. but abstains from openly adj
vocating a. cessation of work. The other
socialist. organs boldly insist upon a
holiday. and number of EMPLOYERS
have already decided to grant holt
day, owing to the favorable situation
of industry this year.
1t is rumored in official circles that
