Berlin, June 2.-Prince Hohenlohe,
the imperial chancellor, gave assur-
ances to an informant of the CORE
spondent of the Associated Press to-
day that the bundesrath, in drawing
up the paragraphs for the carrying
out of the provisions of the meat in
spection bill, would frame them in
such a 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
cabinet on This meat question, Count
Won Posadowsky's influence having be-
come paramount even with he min
lister of foreign affairs, Count Won
Buelow. Unfortunately, too, DR.. Won
Luscanus, the emperor's private cabl-
net chief, and Count Won PosadeWsky,
have managed to make the emperor
believe hat the meat bill compromise
as adopted represents a great victory
over the agrarians, in which his ma
jesty i~nnocently rejoices. The CEN
trist leader, Herr Lieber, who has
been very i'll for months, and who from
StNSIdl NlSllS " Il lSd, 10 AiOot
friendly to the United States, has only
just returned to the ~reichstag, but is
still too weak to re-assume the lead
ership of the center.
TIC the Associated Press correspon-
dent, Herr Lieber said he regretted
his forced absence, as he regarded the
terms excluding certain American
convinced during his visits to the
United States that the slaughtering
there was good in every respect n
that the meat and SauSageS there were
as healthy as here.
About Prince Ludwig of Bavaria,
Prince Hohenlohe said to the inform
ant of the Associated Press that the
prince had the unpleasant quality of
saying and doing diSagreeable things
to whomever he had to deal with.
The foreign office informed the AS
ISOLATED Press correspondent that the
Situation in China has improved dur
ing the past few days.
The Chinese military authorities
have shown greater energy n now
seem masters of the situation. The
foreign office expects the roubleS will
be quieted without further violence.
Mr.. A. D.. White, the United States
ambassador, and Mrs. White have
gone for several days to the coast
of the north sea to find a summer re-
sort for Mrs. White.
The excitement and street riots in
KonitZ as a result of the death of
Lady Winter, attributed to the Jews,
continue, in spite of the active inter-
ference of the military. Martial law
has been proclaimed there. Everybody
must leave the streets at 9 o'clock p.
m, and the military have been in
structed to use their rifles if again
attacked. Captain Hese and Commits

wounded last night by stones.
A number Of influential papers dur
ing the attack have published articles
about his majesty's personal regime
some approving and others disapprov-
ing. The Cologne Volks Zeitung points
out that the emperor's fashion OF
speaking about the German navy as
my navy" is against the constitution
adding that the advisers around his
majesty ought to tell him so. Doubt
less the recent kilograms of the EN-.
peror to the Prince Regent of Bava-
ria in which the obnoxious term oc-
Cured, displeased the Bavarian court
as the wording of the emperor's tele.
gram, as there published, was altered
emitting the personal pronoun the
emperor had used.
The semi-oficial Post say the South
African war has taught two important
1essons-viz: The cohesion of the
British empire even to the farthes'
Independent colonies, showing tina
imperial ideas really have taken roo
throughout the vast empire; secondly
that Russia is not aching to marcf
into India.
All the German newspapers consid.
er the war virtually over. Genera
Becher in The Lokal Anzeiger toda,
eulogizes Lord Roberts as a mastel
strategist.
With the approval Of the British am
bassador, Sir Frank G. Lascelles, thu
British colony here, with its American
and German friends, is preparing {
peace celebration, the main feature o.
which will be a thanksgiving banquet
This is to cooperate with the nationa
festival in Great Britain.
