Washington. March ct is said in
official circles here that there is moth
ing for the United States government
to do at this stage in the working out
OF the policy of the German govern
ment respecting the treatment OF
American meats. Our government has
uniformly insisted that no foreign pow
er had any right TO catechise it re-
specting pending legislation. and has
sharply rebuked foreign ministers in
Washington. where. i'll Isolated in
stances. they have diSregarded this in
junction. Therefore, offensive as the
meat bill is 10 the United States gov
ernment. the state department cannot
find Il proper place just now for any
official remOnStrance against the pro-
posed addition To the restrictions upon
American commerce.
How We Are Disseminated Against.
Ii has been suggested unotticially
that as the United States is not named
i'll the German meat bill it cannot be
said that Germany diScriminateS
against this country therein. ON this
point the experts Of the agricultural
department have been collecting data
to demonstrate that in the beginning
and for the first five years at least the
bill does directly discriminate against
American meat in imposing conditions
as to the attachment of certain pOr
tiOnS of the intrStineS of the carcaSSeS
of beef imported. which are impOs-
Sible of compliance by American ship
perS owing to the long ocean voyage.
while easy To meet by the meat ship
pcrS in adjoining countries like Bel
gium. Russia. Austria and Holland.
After the wear 1904 these countries
will he i'll the same classes the United
States. the bill excluding all meats
after that date; but meanwhile great
injury will be sustained. il iS said. ex-
cluSiVely by the United States packers.
Preparing for RetaIiatory Policy.
The officials here show no open re-
sentiment ut the recently discovered
effort of the German government to
prevent our COnSulS from acquiring any
information as To the adultrration of
German goods and the existence Of
diseases among German animals. but
they are quietly collecting evidence
such. for instance. as complete analyses
of German wines entering the United
States which are now being made by
the department of agriculture with 4
special view TO the detection of adult
GRAFTON. The wines imported are re-
garded as particularly dear To the Ger
man agrarian interests. as they are the
products of German soil.

tof Bryan will not change our present
money standard and on some occasions
