LONDON PRESS COMMENT.
How the Last Phase of the Isthmian
Trouble Is Viewed.

LONDON, Nov. 25.-Al the morning pa
pers discuss South American affairs. The
Daily Telegraph says: 1.-The United States
are acting in strict accordance with their
diplomatic rights, but they may find it ex-
tremely difficult to adhere 20 their ideal
programme"
The Daily News says: All this plays
straight into the hands of the United
States and that energetic power has not
been slow to TAX advantage of il by force
full acts, which may at any moment develop
into an occupation of the isthmus."
Tn Morning Post. which hardly expects
the isthmus squabbles to have any serious
effect upon the relations between the great
powers, says: Germany will not indulge
in any special risks or eXertiOns over a
mere point of honor in the Venezuelan dis
pute. Without expressing an opinion on the
abstract justice of the claim of the United
States TO control the ishmus We believe
no single power is likely to oppose it The
Monroe doctrine is hardly likely to be con-
tested so long as the European powers are
divided among themselves

GERMAN TARIFF BILL.
Discussion Begun i'm the Reichstag-
Points from the Preamble.

BERLIN. Nov. 25.-The Reichstag to-day
began the discussion of the new tariff bill
which, with its ~preambles, ETC., comprises
several thick volumes. A special preamble
to the customs tariff sets forth the neces-
sity of making arrangements Independently
of the existing veterinary and police pro-
hibitions and restrictions, concerning the
importation Of cattle. The preamble ex-
plains this necessity because the tariff has
to reckon with the possibility Of the aboli-
ton of these prohibitions and restrictions.
Therefore, the preamble asserts, in the in
terests of home production, suitable duties
must be provided on cattle and meat, even
if the effect of these duties is not felt
economically until later.
Referring to the duties on iron, it is
pointed out that the iron industry Of Ger
many has indeed reached a high degree of
technical perfection, but that this does not
suffice to cOunterbalance the economic adj
vantages of foreign countries. 1t is also
explained in the preamble that in remodel
ing the tariff the high value of cast steel
will shortly have to be taken more into
account than formerly.
