Germany's Position.

Owing to Germany's evident
determination to press the bill to
prohibit the importation of Amer
lean meat into that country, which
measure Emperor William is said
to be DESTROYS of hurrying with
all dispatch through the reich
stag, congress and the administra-
ton are fully prepared for such
action. A retaliatoly bill, it is
said, will be introduced in both
houses of congress and will be
passed as soon as Germany adopts
hers. This bill will practically
exclude from the United States
German wines, toys and hard
wood bric-a-brac. The yearly
imports on these lines amount to
$4,000, 900. Many think that
the boldness displayed by Aguin
aldo is caused by the secret back
ing of some foreign power, and
not a few give it as their opinion
that Germany is that power. A
state department official said that
the efforts of the German amU&s-
sador, DR.. Won Holleben, w,re
in vain, and that the kaiser is de
termined to railroad his meat in
spection bill through the reich
stag.

Pugillsm Denounced.

The Asbury Park. N. j. boarc
of trade has denounced pugilism
Rev. E. S. Widdeler, an Episco
palian clergyman, said: "Tht
one thing which has done more
than anything else to blast the
prospects of Asbury Park during
the past year is the training OF
prize fighters here. They have
been told that they can not go to
Allenhurst, yet the same men
come to Asbury Park and are car
ressed in certain sense by some
of our city officials. The influence
against Asbury Park has been
great and it will take years to
overcome it. l recognize that
we can not keep them away if they
desire to come, but it is unneces-
sary for them to get official recog-
milton"
A resolution was then offered
that the board discountenance the
training of prize fighters in AS
bury Park and the motion was
adopted unanimously.
James j. Corbett was the first
pugilist train at Asbury Park.
titzsimmons was the star attrac-
ton last summer and Kid Nc
Coy trained there for the Sharkey
fight.

Down TO Work,

The state senate adopted the
rules of the twenty-fifth legislat-
ure temporarily. Each senator
is to receive five copies of any
daily paper publishing proceed,
ings at states expense. Resolu-
tions over death of Col. Mabry
and other deceased soldiers we're
adopted. In the house Rev. Mr..
Gatlin was elected chaplain. The
finance committee, if resolu-
ton passes, will be instructed
to inquire what steps had been
taken toward collecting money
due the state as bounty on sugar
raised in Texas. The resolution
recites that the failure to collect
the money was due to the govern
sar then in office. 1t is suggested
in the resolution that the money
be applied toward establishing an
industrial school for girls.
