FAR FROM SATISFACTORY,
The German Amended Meat InspectiOI
Bill.

The amended meat inspection bill which
the German government has prepared in
lieu of the bill reported by the reichstag
committee. as outlined in the dispatches re-
ceived here, is declared to be very similar
in scope to the proposition originally SUBJ
mitted to the reichstag by the imperial gov
eminent. The most important amendment
is that striking out the total prohibition of
meat imports into Germany after December
ii, 1893, provision that in itself makes
the entire act obnoxious to this government
Now the proposition to completely prohibit
meat importations is left to be adjusted
when the present act expires and not be-
fore namely, at the end of three years.
The amended bill Is far from satisfactory
to the American meat interests. excluding,
as 1t does, canned meats and smoked sau-
sages. The requirement that fresh meats
must be in the whole carcass with entraiIs
attached is also declared to be condition
dlfhcuit to meet. But on the whole the bill
Is believed to be a vast Improvement over
the reichstag committee bill. from our point
or view. and to contain within itself the
basis of the possible agreement between
the governments of the United States and
Germany on this veXed question of meat

That in all preliminary Investigations of

the District of Columbia the accused shall
be permitted to testify in his own behalf
and to introduce and examine any witness
in his behalf touching the matter charged
against him.
This legislation would affect principally
the District of Columbia, but the judiciary
committee holds that the resolution is I'M
necessary as the case is already covered
by existing law.

FEELING OTHER POWERS.

Minister Conger Likely to BE Given
Leave of Absence to Recuper-

WASHINGTON, August 21.-It was
stated tonight that the reply OF this
government to the appeal of Ii Hung
Chang for a cessation of hostilitles and
the appointment of peace commits
sioner has not yet been transmitted to
the viceroy. 1t is suggested in diplo-
matte circles that the delay is probab-
ly for the purpose of aseertaining the
trend of opinion of other foreign powers
inasmuch as the presumption is an
identical proposition made to all of
them.
There has been some public discus
sion of the subject of leave of alb
sence for Mr. Conger so that he may
have an opportunity to recuperate from
the trying experiences of the past two
months. 1t is said, however, that no
suggestion of a leave for the minister
has yet been made to the State Depart
ment. although the officials express the
opinion that he is entitled to one.

NEW YORK, August 21.-In a
freight train collision at Kensico, N.
Y, tonight, seven persons were kill
ed and others are missing. Kensico
is on the Harlem division of the New
York Central railroad. about sixteen
miles from New York. At $50 o'clock
tonight while a freight train was
standing at the depot a second

it. The engine of the second train
smashed the caboose of the first train
and then turned over.
Reports from the scene of the ac-
cident, say that the engineer and fire.
men of the second train and the con-
ductor and two brakemen of the for
ward train are dead under the wreck,
that two others of the train crew are
also buried in the ruins and others are
unaccounted for.
So far as can be learned. the acct
dent was caused by the engineer of the
second train running past block sig
nal which was set against him.
The engineer was William Sanger
bach, of New York. and his fireman
was John Cassidy, of New York.
