Too Radical to lie Sanctioned.

Berlin, May S-The committee of the
Re.chstag 10 which was offered the meat
Inspection bill as substantially agreed up-
on between The imperial Cabinet and the
CLited States Ambassador, Mr.. Andrew
D. White. has reported against the meas
ure and in favor Of a bill so hostile 10
American interests that the government
wiz probably refuse 10 sanction il.
The most unfortunate circumstance. as
regards American interests in the matter
OF the meat inspection bill. was the fact
that there was ius!stent declarations in
the United States that embalmed and
poisonous meats had been supplied To the
troops III Cuba Representatives OF the
German land-owning interests loudly de-
claTed that II the Americans sent poison
Gus meats 10 their CWn soldiers they would
certainly send ii 10 the Germans.

4 bad result is that the blI as reported
back provides for examination and in
spection Of American meats impossible TO
enforce without utterly destroying Ameri-
can trade with Germany.

committee. a.so proposes 10 exclude
importation OF hams, hard and soft saus-
ages. ana chopped meats. and prescribes
thAt iiesh meats must come in whole car

NEW YORK, March PA well in
formed correspondent who has gone
carefully over the sugar crop situation
i'm Louisiana SAYS that there is no
doubt that the stubble cane was seri-
ousy injured by the frost of February
18th to 18th, but that an exact meas
ure of it's effects cannot be had for
month or more. Opinion among the
planters seems to be divided upon the
question as to the ability of the stub
BILE to produce more than sufficient to
replant the same acreage. So far in
dications have been encouraging. AS
regards plant cane, it is estimated that
with the exception of two parishes not
exceeding 10 per cent of the cane which
was put up for seed last fall was plan
ted before the frost, and while it is
known to have been injured in some To-
calities the extent of the injury can
not be determined until later. In ref
erence to seed cane, reports appear to
be conflicting. Indications are that in
some parishes the seed was badly dam
aged, whereas in others the injury has
been small. A conservative estimate
for the state it is computed would in
dictate that probably one-quarter of
the seed cane will prove unfit for use.
AS will be seen, any estimate as to the
amount of sugar likely to be produced
from the crop next fall is hedged about
with difficulties

That famous extravaganza, "Jack
and the Beanstalk, - which for the
past three seasons electrified all the
large cities of our country, is announce
ed to appear at the Barre opera house
ON Tuesday night. This will be the
occasion of the first visit of this wide
ly heralded production to this city,
and the result is not for moment to
be doubted.
1t is confidently expected that the
usual record breaking result to which
''Jack" has been accustomed will
attend the engagement here. TO
describe the many charms of the piece
is almost an mpossibility. AS is well
known, it is the work of Barnet &
Sloan, and was originally produced by
the Boston Cadets. Its story ideal
ICES the famous characters of nursery
rhymes, gives human interest to
them by the addition of romantic
story, infuses a comedy element by
presenting humorous pictures of the
worlds famous road agents and high
way men and is told to the tripping
strains of sprightly music.
The pictorial element has been sup
piled in such lavish and gorgeous
manner as to win for this production
the claim of never having been sur
passed in this respect in the annals of
the American stage. All the abund-
ance of special features, the beautiful
ballets, electrical effects, mechanical
devices and what not, that have been
essential parts of this production, will
be shown here intact.
The same company that recorded
superb triumphs in Boston, New York
and other cities will be present. The
same bevy of pretty girls that have
won favor in the large cities of the
country, will beam as cheerily on their
new made acquaintance here.
