Bundesrath in issuing the regulations ad ,
ministering the meat law appears to be due
to the complexities Of classifying meat

when the paragraphs excluding sausages
and canned goods were decreed in opera
tion.
The Berlin correspondent OF the Asso-

rath now intends to enforce paragraph q, 4,
which forbids the importation Of meats
preserved with boraE. or other chemicals
considered injurious TO health, and which
excludes meat products that are artineiaily
colored.
A decree enoOdying the foregoing is be-
Rssed to be In course Of preparation. The
enforcement OF the rest OF the statute win

Negro Worse OF Abroad.

DR. d. Jonathan Phillips. Of Philadel
phia, has returned home after having
passed the final examinations Of the Boy
al College for Surgeons of England and
The Royal College Of Physicians Of Lon
don. He Is a negro. and during his stay
of more than FIVE years abroad he visited
some Of thelchIef medical centerypn the
Continent
America, after all be says. rs the
best place for the negro. all things con-
sidered, not excepting his social standing.
While public accommodations may be OBJ
tained, it is generally made plain that the
negro is not welcome guest; in some
places he is refused en- the same plea as
10 sections Of America 'that they are

ments sufficient to seat from three to

as is to be found anywhere in America.

Such is the public sentiment against
the negro. believe if there were q,

America sentiment would be worse
against the negro in Europe than it is to
