GERMAN MEAT INSPECTION.
II Will Not Interfere With ExistinR
Contracts of Our Exporters.

1t Will Not Interfere With Existing
Contracts of Our Exporters.
The German government has consented,
at the earnest request of the United States
ambassador at Berlin, Mr.. White, to so
modify the new meat inspection bill that 1t
will not interfere with existing contract OBJ
legations of American exporters. By this
arrangement all present contracts will be
carried out on the present basis Of inspec
ton, so that the new system will apply
after there has been ample opportunity to
make contracts, with the full knowledge of
the changed condition Of affairs. The
American exporters were particularly
afraid Of a sudden interruption Of their
trade, as the contracts had been made on
the basis Of the present system. and any
change in the system threatened to Sc
riously interfere with these contracts.
These conditions were brought to the at
and were subsequently made known to Mr..
White The German authorities seemed
quite DESTROYS of meeting the suggestions
of the American government in q fair
spirit. and this has now resulted In the con-
dition that all present contracts will be car
ried out on their present basis, without ref
erence to the terms OF the new law The
act does net In terms state when 1t shall go
the bundesrath would NJ October for
having the measure go into operation. The
German authorities have found. however,
that this will give scant time for getting up
the extended system Of inspection required
under the law, including the establishment
Of inspection stations, the erection of build
ings, the selection Of officials, etc. This
may take most Of the summer and fall, SO
that while the purpose has been to have
the act take effect. on October l. the pres
1t may not be before January next that the
system Will be ready to go Into effect.

before the building was vacated, there

From the earliest rumors OF a new
