GERMAN MEAT INSPECTION.
The Proposed Bill Not So Radical m
at First Thought.

COPYRIGHTED, 1893, by the Associated Press.
BERLIN. Jan. 1.-THE imperial meat in
spection bill is again one Of the foremost
subjects discussed by German newspapers
This measure early in the week was finally
passed by the Prusslan cabinet and aas
gone 10 the bundesrath. which, Il Is IN
dersscad VII make short work OF II, as
each OF the federal governments has al
ready considered II. and the present shEpe
OF the bill is virtually Tire result OF mutual
concessions made by the several govern
ments.
From an authoritative source IL f. learn
I'd that the task Of agreeing 70 sts hna,
form proved very dlTieul; 10 the South
German governments, and especially Wur-
tsnhurg ard Bavaria. which originally
opposed any such legislation. since they.
thus far. have not been sadaed with the
.Yichinosls inspection. and saw no reason
why the whole empire should be sa9die3
with an expensive meat inspection merely
because Prussia wished *. II was n eef
ersnce 20 these South German votes tilas
the rrusssaa cabinet gradually cat down
the demands. ard a number % Agraraan
features Of the original draft OF tie blu
were eliminated. TIVE important naosif-
cations are the dropping ct The clause pro
y.asax for state remuneration far al cat
lie and meat declared uaft fer sale, and
the inserting OF clause safors.ng She in
spsctton Of al cattle and swine slaughtered
tor private consumption.
