MEAT INSPECTION BILL.
Ambassador White Regards the Measure
Favorable 10 Americans.
GOOD FEELING BETWEEN THE TWO NATION
No Cause for Friction In tho Pacific
or Anywhere Eisr-fItriT Measure
10 10 Framed.
(c,pyrlsh.Ad. Isss. BY Associated Press,

Berliii, January l4.--The United States
ambassador Mr. Andrew White, said TO
ibc correspondent az .he Associated Ptrss
Germany arc thoroughly good and are
steadily improving. look TO the Pro-
posed meat Inspection as d step calculated
to help rather than hurt us. What think
ing men on each side wish to secure IS
single inspection which viii be valid
throughout the empire and supcrsedc the
various local inspections, which are often
prompted BY panic arieing from Isolated
trichanae cases, justly or uniustiy attrb-
utcd to foreign meats. We have been
laboring to obtain this Inspection fer a
long time and now have strong hopes OF
successful issue. There are unreasonable
mon on both sides OF the Atlantic, but
we believe that the reasonable men here
and In America are greatly In the maj r.
| lily and they arc more and more UNDER
standing the Importance OF good relations
between the two countries.
Regarding the question of acquisitions
in the Pacific and elsewhere, the feeling
81 the two governments is excellent. The
/ German foreign office shows every desire
that this state of things should continue
and the German officials in every way
work In harmony with US. In the Pacific,
| rs elsewhere. there Is not the slightest
cause at present for any in feeling arising
! from the ambitions Of either power and
all other qjestlcns are being steadily
placed on better footing"
The bundesrath considered the meat in
| speciion bill this week and the favorable
view taken OF the measure by tho Ameri-
can side Is corroporated by the fact that
the agrarian press this week severely crit
icised the bill.
| Official statistics Of German exports 10
the United States show that they amounted
during the last quarter in the northern
half of Germany to s1e.7o3,t6l. compared
with $9024.947 in 1897 In the southern
half the German exports to the United
States amounted to ss.s1S, 1s9. being an in
crease OF $626.539. The total increase for
the past quarter amounted to about $1,000
600 mainly due to sugar exports which
came to a standstill during the last quar-
ter OF 1897. The total exports for 1898,
however. show a decrease when compared
with those Of 1897. This, also. is mainly
traeeable TO sugar. which from the Bruins
wick consulate alonc the exports dimin-
ished over s2,500,00O
| Posadowsky Wehner has summoned the
president OF the organization to furnish
him with additional information ON the
subject and there Is reason TO believe the
government intends to frame tariff meas

Berlin, January l4.--Therc is some anx-
iety In official circles at the exceeding
strinsency of the German money market
which, It is feared, may oudanger the
success OF the coming German and Prus-
sian loans. These loans, it is now semi
officially set forth, amount to far less
than 2oo00o,oo0 marks. which II was. orig
inally expected would be the amount
Considerable indignation is evinced at
the unfavorable reports emanating from
London concerning the economical and
financial conditions of Germany. especially
the statement that The leading English
banks recently declined to accept Prussian
bills for large amount. This statement
is declared to be utterly untrue and cal
cuated to unfavorablN Impress the German
hourses with respect to the impending
loans.
The National zeitung In an inspired ar
ticlc points out that the present financial
tightness Is solely due TO the cxtraord
nary expansion Of German industry which
has absorbed immense quantities OF cap
ital. adding:
This led to rise In the rate OF discount
and slight decline in Prussian and I'M
perial loans IT. however, the Gnanciers
which tho most favorable conditions are
al hand and II the German financial under
takings abroad are restricted loi short
Period TO a ratio OF discount. which, from
perfectly natural causes. lis higher In Cor
many than IN France and in Great Britain,
it will speedily diminish. In the mean
while there Is no nerd TO hasten fotationa
of loans and there u no reason why the
rate OF interest should be raised at above
the present 3 per cent"
