BERLIN, Nov. 4-Oplnion here inclines
more and more strongly in favor of
commercial treaty with the United States
which will be fair to both sides and en-
able the merchants of both nations to
make calculations regarding trade be-
tween the two countries for number OF
years ahead. The growing Importance of
the United States as a market for Ger
man goods is generally recognized by
everybody but the Agrarians, and leads
to the hope that long pending negotia-
lions will be brought to a successful is
sue. The kind reception of German dele
gates to the Philadelphia commercial
congress Is greatly appreciated by the
press here. The newspapers express the
hope that the gathering will remove
many mutual errors. A number of pub

the advantages Of better commercial re-
lations. Deutschland und Die Verein-

NAVAL PROJECTS.
Inc emperors naval projects have
formed lhe main subject of press discus
sion this week. The government now
admits that the tiotten pFan really means
coupling the navy as compared with
what 1t would be under the plan of 1897
ana that zo,9OO men would be needed for
the new fleet. Nearly the whole nrnsa
expresses astonishment at the fact that
his majesty personally conceived and
pushed the plan, while Prince HobenN
lohe's consent was only obtained later
and that the bundesrath and Prussion
cabinet have not yet been consulted
However, the chances of a bill embodv
ing the plan, which the correspondents
learns will reach the reichstag before
the end Of the year, are increasing. The
Freisinniges seem inclined to vote for
the bill if strong reasons for it are
shown.
The Agrarian press maintains the pol
Icy indicated last week All sorts of
popular manifestations in support of the
bill are being arranged In order to inf1u-
ence opinion. A number of clubs and So
cieties, including the Colonial Gesselis-
chaft, are preparing a campaign of agi-
tation for the proposed naval increase
