ing prepared were completed.

that he fled from New York wien he
found he was short.
He will go back 10 face the charges
without requisition papers, but the police
prefer to hold him. Chief McClusky, Of
New York, telegraphed Chief Glass to
hold the man at all hazards, and stated
that an officer left New York to-day 10

arrest coolly and talks freely.

REIGHSTAG is HOSTILE
Harsh Substitute to the Meat
Inspection Bill.
APPREHENSIVE OF THE OUTCOME
Authorities Here Fear that the Opposition
TO the White-yon Bueiow Measure Is
Too Strong to BE Overcome, and that the
Negotiations Must Fail-Bad Effect of
the Charge that Poisoned Meat Had Been
Issued to the American Troops in Cuba.

A press dispatch from Berlin indicating
the failure OF legislation for the abate-
hent OF the restrictions upon the impor-
tAtlon into Germany Of American meat
products was received here yesterday with
grave apprehension. 1t is beginning to
suggest itself 10 the officials that, however
weIl-disposed toward fair treatment of
American meats, the German government
may be unable 10 command the necessary
strength or the Reichstag TO correct the
determinations from which our meats
nave suffered so long
The results of the failure of the meat
Dill are likely TO be much broader than
are commonly supposed, for il may. be
stated that our government regards the
projected relief Of our meat from oppres-
siVe discrimination as an absolute essen
tial to the negotiation of any sort of re-
ciprocal arrangement, either under the
terms of the Dingley act or under the
general authorization 10 make trade
treaties. Therefore it is expected that
The negotiations which have progressed
on and on during the past Few months
looking TO the making OF a reciprocity ar
rangement will be practically suspended
pending favorable action by the German
government on the meat inspection bill.
