GERMAN INSPECTION BILL.
Fair Show for American Meat Likely to
Result in an Increase of Imports.

Berlin. JAN 1.-THE Imperial Meat
Inspection bill is again one of the fore
most subjects discussed by the German
newspapers. The measure was finally
passed by the Prussian Cabinet, and
has gone to the Bundesrath, which it is
understood will make short work of it.
as each of the federal governments has
already considered it, and the present
shape of the bill is virtually the result
of mutual concessions made by the sew
eral governments.
The tenor of the bill shows that the
imperial government means to treat
American meats fairly and on their
merits. The option was given the
Bundesrath to treat American meats
with greater severity, and corresponds
with similar power resting in the Sec
retary of Agriculture on our side re-
garding certain German imports. But
the enforcement of the option will re-
quire specific proofs that American
meats are injurious. and that is out Of
the question. The bill will not be an
unmitigated evil for American interests.
Hitherto in Germany there has been
no confidence in our meat inspection,
but there is almost sacred confidence in
German imperial inspection. Hence
forth any American meats eXpo>d for
sale Will be known to have been official
ly approved, and the result will be an
increase in business, probably doubling
our sales
The only paragraph in the bill which
is capable of mischief if unfairly ap-
piled is the one which sets forth that
all imported meats must come in GER
tain cuts and parts. We cut our meat
differently from the Germans. so mis-
chief may Turk in that paragraph,
However, the German government will
not apply the bill unfairly, as it fully
realizes that there would b, no wisdom
in such course. seeing that we hold
trump cards in retaliation.

New York, Jan. 9.-Not an arrest has
yet been made in the Adams poisoning
case, and the prospect of an arrest in
the near future is very small. Why
the police do not act is "a mystery which
nobody but Capt. McClusky and those
associated with him in the investiga-
ton of the crime can explain. 1t is
tiers that unless an arrest is made
very soon. it is safe betting that there
never will be one, or, at any rate,
that the man now under suspicion
will never be taken into custody
charged with the crime.

whom. with three others, he accuses of
blowing up the United States battleship

Bresmes. The editor tells his readers

get the facts regarding the Maine eX-
plosion. He describes his proof as

DEATH RATHER THAN JAIL.
Bruner Had Embezzled Funds and Killed
Himself When Arrested.

Trenton, N. j., Jan. 10.-Francis
Bruner committed suicide in the Sec
ond district police station while await
ing hearing on charge of embezzle-
ment. He was Treasurer of the Deut-
scher Landwehr Verein, German
benefit society. A few days ago the
society discovered that he had disposed
of 500 from its treasury by taking care
of notes he had indorsed for his friends.
Bruner declined to make the amount
good, and when it was learned that he
had transferred his property the officers
of the society caused his arrest. His
friends were endeavoring to secure his
release when they heard of his suicide.
Bruner first tried to hang himself with
his suspenders, but they broke. Then
he tied his bandanna handkerchief
about his neck, fastened the moose to
the cell door and ended his life. He
was discovered within five minutes after
the act, but life was extinct.

IN DREAD OF AGUlNACOO.
Native Families in Manila Flee to the
Country In Terror

Manila, Jan. 1T is apparent that
the situation here has not been i'm
proved by the proclamation issued by
Gen. Otis. There is feeling of unrest
among the people, and it is feared by
them that the insurgents in arms may
attempt some overt act against the
Americans. Some native families here
are moving or preparing to move to the
provinces, believing that Aguinaldo's
forces will attack the city. The trains
running to interior points are crowded
with persons seeking refuge in the
country from the anticipated attack.
The t'ilipinos complain that General
Otis's proclamation is not definite
enough regarding the government it is
proposed to establish in the islands.
The insurgent government at Malolos
cordially approves the stand taken by
the native forces at lloilo in refusing
to surrender that city to Gen. Miller
In an editorial. under the caption of
The Philippines for the Filipinos, "
the leading insurgent paper here vigor-
ously urges tn people not to desist from
their struggl for Independence.

Matawan, n. j., Jan. 9.-Joe Gordon,
pauper in the Raritan township poor
house, was taken to the county jail on a
charge of having brutally assaulted
several of the helpless inmates of the
poorhouse hospital ward. He attacked
Thomas Wood, who is half paralyzed,
and beat him about the head with u
club. William Brown. an idiot and de-
formed, was also attacked and cruelty
beaten. Gordon seems to be in his
right mind and to have attacked his
fellow paupers out of wanton desire
to make them suffer.

Manila, Jan. S.-The Governors of
various Philippine provinces have visit
ed Aguinaldo and offered their uncon-
ditional allegiance to the Filipino re-
public, declaring that the people are
disposed to give up their lives and
property in struggle against the fore
ing of any domination upon the islands.
Several Filipino military chiefs have
urged Aguinaldo to fight the Ameri-
cans.
The Spanish newspaper Oceana, in
an article commenting upon the procla-
nation issued by Gen. Otis, says: I'VE
venture to predict that the effect of the
proclamation will not be very favor
able.
The independence, the leading or
gan of the insurgents, says in an article
discussing the proclamation: ''If Amer
lea persists in disavowing our acquired
rights, and filings legions of soldiers
against our well-defended lines, she
will have q dark road to travel. We
have the example of the heroic city of
Iloilo which prefers to risk the sorrows
of COMMANDMENT to becoming a de-
pendent territory. The Filipinos will
accept resignedly any sacrifice when
they see their country's independence
endangered. Do not plunge us into a
cruel and brutal war. Remember the
words of the greatest historian of the
century: England, with 10000, 600,
could not withstand 2,500,000 of North
Americans.
