BERLIN, June 2.-Prince Hohenlohe,
the imperial chancellor, gave assurances
to an informant of the correspondent of
the Associated Press today that the
Bundesrath, in drawing up the para
graphs and calling out the provisions of
the meat inspection bill, would frame
them in such manner as to consider
the legitimate wishes of the American
and British governments as much as the
tenor of the law will permit.
The chancellor bitterly complained that
he was now wholly isolated in the cabi-
net on this meat question, Count Won
Posadowsks influence having become
paramount, even, with the minister Of
foreign affairs, Count Won Buelow I'm
fortunately, too, DR.. Won Lucanus, the
emperor's private cabinet chief, and
Count Won Posadowsh have managed
to make the emperor believe that the
meat bill compromise as adopted repre-
sents a great victory over the Agrarians,
In which his majesty innocently rejoices.
The Centrist leader Herr Lieber, who
has been very Ill for months, and who.
from several visits to America, is most
friendly to the United States, has only
Just returned to the Reichstag, but is
still too weak to reassume the leader
ship OF the Centre
To the Associated Press correspondent
Herr Lieber said he regretted his forced
absence as he regarded the terms ex.
cluding certain American meats as too
stringent, for he became convinced dur
ing his visits to the United States that
the slaughtering there was good in every
respect, and that the meat and sausages
there We're as wholesome as here.
CHINA SITUATION IMPROVED.
The foreign cffice informed the Assc-
ciated Press that the situation in China
has improved during the past few days
The Chinese military authorities have
shown greater energy and now seem
masters of the situation. The foreign
office expects the troubles will be quiet
ed without further violence.
The emperor has called an important
meeting for Prussian school reform to
convene after the holidays. Proving the
eInperors intention that reform must he
toward raising the technical schools to
the level required by the high state OF
recent technical developments is the fact
that invitations have been sent to all
rectors Of technical high schools and
number Of professors, like Van Desborght
ard BUsley.
The Berlin municipal council has also
appointed a mixed deputation for a SIN
liar end for all the Berlin middle schools.
Berlin, in council, has resolved that
hereafter it will build, operate and main
tain all street car lines for municipal
account
The Siemens- -Halske company, at an
experimental station at Grosslichter-
feilde has built and run on trial electric
trains ma aic 70 nj kilnroa-
tres hourly. High civil and military au-
thorities have inspected the plans salts
factorily, and they will be introduced on
several lines. Their maintenance is said
to be cheaper than that of other lines.
RIOTING IN KONITZ.
The excitement and street riots in Ko-
nitz, as a result of the death of Winter,
attributed to the Jews, continue in spite
of Interference of the military. Mar
tial law has been proclaimed there.
Everybody must leave the streets at
p. m, and the military have been in
structed to use their rifles if again at
tackled. Capt. Hesse and Commissioner
of Police Block We're seriously wounded
last night by stones. a number of infiu-
ential papers during the attack have
published articles about his maiesty's
personal regime some approving and
others disappearing. The Cologne Volks
Zeitung points out that the emperOr's
fashion OF speaking about the Germany
navy as MY navy" is against the con-
stitutiOn, adding that the advisers
around his majesty ought to tell him so.
Doubtless the recent kilograms of the
emperor to the prince regent of Ba-
varia, in which the obnoxious term oc-
CURED, displeased the Bavarian court,
as the wording of the emperor's tele-
gram as they published it was altered,
emitting the personal pronoun the en-
peror had used.
The semi-oficial Post says the South
African war has taught two important
lessons viz The cohesion of the Brit
ish empire, even into the farthesta in
dependent colonies, showing that i'm
perial ideas really have taken root
throughout the vast empire; secondly,
that Russia is not aching to march into
India.
All the German newspapers consider
the war virtually over. Gen. Becher,
in the LolIal Anzeiger, today eulogized
Lord Roberts as a master strategist.
With the approval of the British am
bassador, Sir Frank c. Lascelles the
British colony here, with its American
and German friends, is preparing
peace celebration, the main feature of
which viii be a Thanksgiving banquet
This is to cooperate with the national
festival in Great Britain.
