RELATIONS FRIENDLY.
Ambassador white Says we Are Get
ting Along First Rate with Germany.

New York, September 2S.-Tbe G er-
man American Mckinley and Roosevelt
league, 21st assembly district branch held
a mass meeting tonight at which Arthur
Won Briesen read letter from Andrew
ID. White u. 5. minister to Germany.
Minister White IN his letter expressed
regret at not being able to attend the
meeting of tonight, saying he was to sail
for Germany on October and his time
was wholly taken up. He extolled Pres
ident Mckinley and his policy. The let
ter continues:
AS your meeting is mainly under the
direction of our fellow citizens of Ger
man birth, may, perhaps, be allowed to
say that OF all the calumnies ever ut
tered in a heated political campaign,
one OF the most unjustifiable, in my Opin-
lon, is that which attributes to the pres
emit administration hostile feelings toward
Germany. If any one has had occasion
to know the feelings of the administra-
ton In that respect, / can surely claim
TO be that person; and l can testify most
fully on my honor, that from the begin.
ming OF my stay in Germany all my in-
sGruct1Ons from the present administer.
ton have been to promote kindly feelings
between the two countries by every
means In my power. AS a result OF this
policy we have had the settlement Of va
rious questions left by former admins
trations to this, for example, the Samoa
question, the insurance question, the re-
ciprocity feature in the commercial
question, and various other matters
which in days gone by aroused some feel
ing between the two countries.
"Whiie the commercial and manufac-
turing rivalry between the TWO nations
has been and remains continuous and
strong, there is no reason why ill-feelinp.
should exist, any more than that they
should exist between two merchants and
manufacturers in the same line OF busi-
ness In either country. My belief is that
the relations between the two nations
are steadily improving and that the
great cause of this improvement is in
frank and friendly feeling shown toward
Germany by the present administration
which has been cordially reciprocated by
the present German government"
Mr.. White then reviewed in q general
way the political situation saying that
for DO years the German Americans had
stood by the Republican party and It's
principles, financially and otherwise, and
he could not believe that the Democrats
had now won over these voters to their
side as has been claimed.
