Berlin, May 1S.-The large amour
of space and attention which the Ger
man press and public recently devoted
to the United States, more particular
ly to the United States relations witt
Germany and Great Britain, is remark
able.
A year ago it was mainly the Agrar
ian press which Systematically an
tagonized the United States in view Of
the Agrarian products and political in
fluence, but now the Liberal and Radi
cal press are also slowly becoming
convinced that the United States Is
their keenest commercial and indus.
trial rival. This fact came out
strongly during the Reichstag debates
last month and also in the Diel.
Naturally the conservative and Ag.
rarian press stir up this fire by every
available means. Arguing on these
lines Kreuse Zeitung conservative
today devotes a lengthy editorial to
Anglo-American relations and points
out that these relations, though per-
haps momeLtarily still semi-cordial,
must necessarily become acute as the
United States rapidly becomes out
spokenly Great Britian's sharpest
commercial enemy in trying to wrest
the worlds trade from her. AS the
core Of Great Britian's policy has al
ways been dominated by commercial
reasons, this conflict, according to the
paper mentioned, viii lsteadily become
greater and definitely disrupt any pos
sible AngloAmerican understanding.
The Post today points out editorial
ly the enormous commercial and manu-
featuring progress that has been made
recently by the United States, which in
many respects beats Germany in home
fields. 1t says that through the Pan
American Exposition at Buffalo, the
well considered campaign to invade
the whole Central and South America
now begins to drive out Germans.
The paper calls on German CONNER
cial circles to consider this and agree
upon plan for defense before it is
too late.
OTHER MATTERS.
1t is learned that harmonious rela-
tions between the Emperor and Con-
servatives suffered severely through
the last sessions of the Diel and
Reichstag, during which the canal
bill was disrespectfully spurned.
1T is learned authoratively that
the question regarding the method of
the China settlement has not yet been
agreed upon, whether it shall consist
of a single loan under the joint guar
antee CT the powers, or whether each
power shall guarantee its portion, or
there shall be no loan, letting
China pay off the indemnity in install
ments.
Politically, nothing prevents the
of foreign troops from
China Immediately. Their with
drawal will certainly begin soon, but
will be carried out gradually. Count
Van Waldersee leaves within a fort
night after visiting Japan. He will
probably return by way of the United
States.
In spite of the Prussian govern
ment's prompt Temonstrance, Russia
continues to maintain stringent anti
Jewish measures in frontier districts,
preventing all Russian Jews
from passing the German frontier,
which practically prohibits all German
Jews from crossing into Russia for
any purpose.
1t is claimed that Russia has resoly-
ed upon such severe measures because
an investigation showed that Jewish
bands were responsible for
recent Socialist and Nihilist fomenta-
tions along the frontier and also for a
introduction of dangerous
