THE MEAT BILL
Reiohstag Goes Into Lengthy Discus
 sion of the Matter

Berlin, May 21.-During the debate on the meat inspection bill in the reichstag today Baron von Wagenheim, chairman of the Farmers Alliance, said no reliance could be placed upon the control exercised over meat abroad.
 The present, he continued, was the proper time to meet foreign claims
 Herr Aichbuelers amendment Count von Posadowsky-W elmer remarked, constituted the utmost limit of concession acceptable to the government.
 The general debate was then closed
 Achebeller's amendment in addition to the amendment prohibiting the inspection of canned or sausage meat provides that until December 31, 1903, the inspection of fresh meat shall only be allowed in whole or in certain cases in half carcasses, and that the inspection of prepared meats shall only be permitted when it is proved to be innocu- ous, which is regarded being impossible of proof in the case of consignments of salt meat under four kilograms.
 Finally. it is provided that after 1903 the inspection of meat shall either be regulated by fresh legislation or the above mentioned provisions shall remain in force
 Speaking later Count von PosadoWsky- Wehner declared that no official negotia- tions whatever had occurred between the German and American governments regard ing the bill. Referring to the statement mentioned by the Berlin Tageblatt that the United States government would have noth- ing to say to any compromise, Count von Fosadowsky Wehner said the person mak- ing the statement was certainly not the American secretary of state.
 The house then adjourned until tomor- row.
