BERLIN, Nov. 16.-Views differ re-
garding the effect of the bundesraths
action on the tariff bill. Friends of the
measure assert that the prospects of It's
adoption, substantially in its present
form, by the reichstag, have greatly i'm
proved, and even its opponents do not
disguise their disappointment over the
bundesrath's acquiescence. The Centrisr
press demands its speedy passage, and
admits that the longer the debates last
the more difficult will be the adoption
of the measure Nevertheless, a long
and heated discussion is certain. Even
obstruction tactics are limited at by the
Radicals and Socialists.
The Agrarian league announces the
bill to be absolutely Unacceptable, and
says the Agrarians are profoundly dis
appointed at the bundesrath's action.
The league urges persistent opposition
to the measure in the reichstag and is
sending circulars to its local branches
setting forth that all increases in indus
trial duties must be rejected unless the
full Agrarian demands are conceded.

rejects the demand that the German
government enter a protest in London
against the utterances of the colonial
secretary and ask for satisfaction, as
this would overshoot the mark The ar
ticle concludes with saying that public
ter with light ridicule, and asserts that
the French would rejoice if all Germans,
with the chancellor at the head, 'ran
foul of the English bully's weapon"
More significant is the circular which
the executive committees of the German
Veterans union and Prussian National
