BERLIN. May Negotiations for
commercial trea.y between the United
states and Germany have now been taken
up in earnest at this end of tho line.
The United states Ambassador Mr. An
drew d. White expects that despite the
number of formidable obstacles that must
re overcome. such treaty as win be
satisfactory TO both nations Will crown
the efforts of the representatives OF the
TWO governments. There IS every rca-
son for saying that the German Gov
ernment and notably the Foreign Min
ister. Baron Won Ruelow. VIII do its best
90 overcome the difficulties of the tasK
OF formulating such treaty.
EMPEROR AN ALLY.
The Foreign Office is haWns the potent
aid Of Emperor william. as well as the
sympathetic cooperation of representa-
tives OF an the German states in the
Bundesrath and i- determined not 20

way Of such am important bond with
America The Emperor made clear the
facr that lc views such a treaty most
favorably iu the course of recent e--
presslOn tO Baron Won 8uclOW.
The main difficulty that Mr.. White has
encountered thus far iu the preliminary
conferences as the Minister OF Foreign
Affairs. is the erroneous idea that has
taken hold of the German mind and been
systematically fostlrcd by the A6rarian
and other newspapers that trade with
the Jnitcd states has latterly been ols-
uucuy Improbable.

Law IS especially annoying.
This evening General Brooke sent Major

gardlng the situation. Gomez declared
that he was unable TO explain why the
