| BERLIN, December 29.-The recent
| speeches of Count Won Klinckows-
troem, the Agrarian leader, and the at
| titude of the imperial chancellor,
Count Won Buelow, towards the Agra
| rians have furnished the press this
sion without evolving any new facts.
Count Won Buelow has not uttered
word publicly to indicate his position
and his silence wins him the designa-
ton Of the sphinx Of German politics.
The Vossische Zeitung assumes that
the chancellor, from his present asso
Citations, is an Agrarian, but that his
diplomatic education and experience in
foreign politics render him unwilling to
concede the Agrarian demands wholly,
since he must see that a grain duty
of sixty marks would render a COM
mercial treaty policy impossible.
The VoSsische Zeitung assumes that
such a duty would cause tariff war
with the United States and Russia, the
former answering with measures di-
rected against German sugar and the
latter replying by increasing the duty
on German iron. The Liberal news
papers understand that Count Won
KlinckoWstroem's utterances are in
tended to prepare for a compromise
below the extreme Agrarian demands,
pointing out that it was Count Won
Klinckowstroem who checked the eX-
IRENE Agrarian demands in connection
with the meat bill. The press this
week has much commented on a semi
official article . the Muenchener All
gemeine Zeitu.S National Liberal,
quoting Count Won BuelOw as saying:
above all things no internal cri-
sis"
Many of the papers fear the chancel-
lor's conciliatory spirit will prevent
any vigorous policies and others inter-
pref his utterance as meaning that he
is ready to sacrifice Count Won Posa-
dowsky-W ehner, secretary of state for
the interior, in the interests of a har-
monious cabinet The Counts trip to
South Germany concluding with the
highest decoration being bestowed up
on him by the Emperor, gives occasion
for the frequent remark that the chan
cellor is on very good terms with his
majesty. Nevertheless, the Cologne
Volks Zeitung, the leading Centrist or
gan, sarcastically asks what there will
be cleft to confer on Won BuelOw when
he actually does something"
The trip has undoubtedly had an ex-
cellent political effect.
The Stuttgart Schwaebische Mercur
the semi-oficial paper of Wurtemburg,
remarks that the relations with the i'm
perial government have later grown
somewhat strained, and adds that
Count Won Buelow's object was to re-
store the former cordiall". which he
had fully succeeded in doing. Here
after continues the paper mentioned,
the South German government will
have proper participation in imperial
affairs"
Nevertheless, the Pan-German press
continues to attack Count Won Buelow.
The United States Senates action on
the Hay-Pauncefote treaty is much
discussed. The National Zeitung, Ma
tiOnal Liberal, and generally friendly
to the UnitedStates, devotes lengthy
leader to this subject this morning
me general tone OF the press is
strongly condemnatory of the Senate
without sympathizing with Great Brit
ain.
A serum against the foot and mouth
disease, discovered by Prof, Loefier
and described at the Paris Medical
Congress last summer is being manu-
featured commercially.
