GERMAN POPULAR HOUSE HAS AD-
JOURNED UNTIL NEXT NO
VEMBER
MEMBERS WANT TO BE PAID
BUT THE EMPEROR AND THE
BUNDEsRATH ARE STRICTLY
OPPOSED THERETO
BERLIN GOSSIP OF A WEEK

BERLIN, May 1.-THE members Of the
reichstag want to go home after dis
posing Of the few pending matters. The
adjournment will be until the end OF
November. when the government has
promised to present the tariff bill, which
in the meanwhile will be thoroughly in
Vestigated by the states governments
and the bundesrath. An adjournment
is really necessary now. because the at
tendance in the reichstag during the past
fortnight has dwindled steadily and i'm
portant measures have repeatedly been
passed by few score of members. This,
doubtless was owing partially to the raet
that members of the re chstag do not yet
receive any remuneration for their serv-
ices, not even free railway passes. The
reichstag, this week, for the thirteenth
time, passed a resolution by a five-slxths
majority, to the effect that mamb bers
should be paid so much per day, but it
is known that the emperor and the
bundesrath still oppose any remunera-
tion and will not confirm the relchstag
resolution.
When the members disperse next week
the house will have agreed to a pre-
longation of the provisional commercial
arrangement between Germany and Great
Britain until Dec g. 1903 to an irnDe-
rial order levying a duty on logwood and
to a supplementary duty on coffee and
cocoa from Hayti.
GERMAN BATTING"
The anti-Germanism on the part of the
American press is keenly felt here, all
the more because nobody knows the
reason for it. The fore gn office is kept
busy denying one unfounded story after
another, intended to ascribe rapacious
schemes to Germany.
The officials of the United States en-
bassy fully confirm the statements of
the German foreign office. The serious
and influential German newspapers have
hitherto not paid much attention to this
renewed ''Deutschen Hetze" German
baiting) in America, but the Berlin
Neueste Nachrichten Conservative has
pointed out how differently sensational
news from American, apparently conflict
ing with German interest here, is re-
ceived.
1t instances the report about the
Azores and says:
Nobody here blames the United
States for trying to secure a coaling sta
tion in the Azores, or elsewhere y
The Tageblatt's New York specials, re-
ferring to anti German utterances in the
American press, have been followed by
prompt official denial here of the impu-
tations made.
CHINESE QUESTION.
The China question Is still uppermost
here. The Cologne Gazette prints a ST.
Petersburg special saying Russia is has
tenIng to finish the Manchuria railroad
by purchasing locomotives in America
taking temporarily the rolling stock from
the Russo European roads and greatly
| increasing the number OF officials etc
enabling Russia before long to throw a
couple Of army corps into Manchuria by
rail The paper further says NJ. Del
! casse, the French foreign minister, who
recently visited st. Petersburg, pledged
Russia Frances support in the Manchu-
rian question.
The figures accompany ng the British
German commercial provisorium show
both the British imports into Germany
and the German imports into Great Brit
ain are steadily increasing. Since 1887
Germany's exports to Great Britain have
risen from 701 600 to $1,000 marks, and
Great Britain's from G61,OOO,OOO to $4,000
marks. German sugar imports, however,
have decreased
