Berlin. May 26.-The imperial govern

meat Inspection bill. particularly because
Of its demonstrating that the extrsme
Agrarians have no power to dominate the

The Agrarians loudly proclaimed
that the meat bill was to serve as test
of their relative strength and as pretm-
mary TO the struggle, TO decide the nature
of the projected commercial treaties. In
this sense the passage of the meat bill
was a defeat to the extreme Agraraus.
This fact is now pointed out by the semi
official press DR.. Miquers Berliner Po-
litische Nachrichten calls this reason
for congratulation.
The obstructive tactics whereby the lex
heinze was defeated by the minority are

Views of the Boer War.
The latest news from South Africa is
generally interpreted as showing that the
Beers are tired of the war, and are only
looking for a decent pretext TO make
peace The Kreuz Ze.tung says:
Drawing a parallel between the Beers
and the Ancient Germans there Will not be
such a fight of desperation as that of the
Gotha at Naissus."
The paper adds:
THE Beers do not possess the species of
personal bravery which in European ar
mics is self-understood. If this knowl-
edge had obtained here sooner the Beers
would not have enjoyed such popularity"
Dissatisfaction is expressed here at the
fact that the Oberammergau authorities
gave the monopoly of photographing TO
Leo Schweyer, of Stuttgart.
There Is no anxiety shown by the Ger
man public to view the performance, with
a large part of the press characterizing 1t
as given over to commercialism.
Quick justice is being meted out to the
car strike rioters. The first batch was
sentenced Monday to terms varying from
six weeks in Jail to a few days imprison-
ment and another batch was sentenced
to-day. third batch will be tried before
a higher court for revolt against the state,
on which hang long terms at hard labor.

American Pavilion In Paris Is Far

Paris, May 26 Now that all the national
paVilions in the Rue des Nations have
been opened to the public a comparison
of the artistic effect of our own building
with that of its neighbors is undoubtedly
unfavorable to the former. While the gen

rior eliciis the harshest criticism. Seldom
is a word in praise of 1t heard from visit

and the present condition of the pavilion
will be much improved. The baroness of
