BERLIN, Sept. 9Th papers have been
engaged in a warm controversy this week
over Emperor Williams refusal TO receive
the mayor of Berlin on the subject Of run
ming the city's electrical railroad across
Inter den Linden. While the papers rep
resenting the municipalities views admit
his Majesty has a legal right to forbid
the road crossing the thoroughfare, they
point TO the hardship for the city involved
in such a decision, since the Council bought
two lines, at a high price. on the assur-
ance OF the minister and police president
that Emperor William would give his con-
sent TO uniting these roads by crossing
Inter den Linden.
His Majesty has also rejected three mon
uments, intended for one of the Berlin
parks. on artistic grounds. and. further,
he mas rejected the plans for one new
bridge, and the rejection Of the plans for
the other proposed bridge is expected.
The papers argue that a strong feeling
exists at the court against the municipal
ity. Some of them connect the above in
cidents with the reelection Of Herr Kauff-
mann as vice mayor. after the mayor had
once refused to confirm him.
Emperor William has ordered that all
the Invitations forwarded to him TO at
tend dedications. dwellings, etc. be sent
in future to the provincial presidents. or
to the minister OF worship for examina-
ton.

The tariff discussion continues in a more
lively manner. The session OF the Verein
fur Social PoIitik. embracing all the lead
ing German economists, met at Munich this
week and engaged in a long discussion of
the tarff bill. The criticisms of the meas
ure were loudly apDlauded, and the Senti-
ment that ''Germany's export business is
we'll suited to he the foundation OF our
economic system met with strong ap-
prevail. While no vote was taken, the gen
eral opinion was strongly against the tariff
bill. Herr Berlepsch, the former minister
of commerce. summed up his opinion as
follows. That an increase OF the grain
duties would unfaVOrably influence the con-
dition of the laboring population. and that
IL was recognized on all sides that there
was a necessity for long-term treaties OF
commerce.
Bochum, ortmund Dusseldorf, Duisburg,
Muelheim, RuhrOrt and Osabrueck have
held a joint meeting at Essen and consid-
cred a resolution 10 the effect that an In
crease of the grain duties was necessary
and at minimal tigures-not too high-but
the chambers rejected the minimai system
altogether on the ground that II endangered
the renewal of the treaties.

In the meanwhile. the feud between the
Agrarians and manufacturers grows sharp
er. The Deutsche Tages Zeitung "a lead
ing Agrarian organ), prints a list Of manu-
facturers who oppose an increase of the
agricultural schedules, with ngures show
ing that the increase on their own manu-
facures is much greater than on the
produce of agriculture.
Much interest centers in the meeting of
the Handelstag CChamber of Commerce
and Merchants Association) here on Sept.
30. and in the meeting OF the Central Yer
band Deutscher Industriellen Central As
ISOLATION OF German Manufacturers on
Oct. /. Both meetings are expected 10 de-
clare themselves theoretically against the
bill. 1t is reported that the latter's declara-
ton in August against the bill strongly
