An English @JungIe.n

The part played by The Jungle" in bringing on a housekeeping in Chicago recalls that Arthur Morrison's "A Child of the Jago" has been credit ed with effecting the tbolition of the London slum which he so powerfully described; and when King Edward, then Prince of Wales. opened the new quarter, he took occasion in his speech to compliment MT Morrison's book. the only reference he has ever made to the work of living novelist. Royalty is careful about booming the royalties of authors: that Is left for prime ministers and presidents.

The new bullet has . mnzzla y.,oc,,v

The new bullet has muzzle veiocity of 2.7oo feet per second, the greatest ever at fained in service weapon At 500 yards it will penetrate a white pine for 32 inches, as against 26 inches for the old bullet.
 Another advantage in the light bullet Is that it lessens the kick of the rifle. It weighs 150 grains and is fired with 50 5 grains of smokeless powder The only serious drawback of the new bullet Is that It Is less accurate than the old one. but General Crozier hopes to remedy this by varying the powder charge or by making a slight change in It's shape

NEW BULLET SATISFACTORY.
ProjectIIe to LIghtea and More Penetrating
 Than Present One.

New York, Aug. 1O-A special to The Times from Springfield. Mass, says;
 Brigadier General crozier, chief of ord nance in the United States Army. said yes terday that the light. sharp pointed rifle bullet which experts have been testing for a month past, had shown such satisfactory qualities that it would probably be accept ed for use in the new army rifle replac- ing the present bullet.
 The principal advantages of the light bullet are it's fiat trajectory and great penetrating power. On 1000 yard range, if win be effective against infantry for 500 yards while cavalry will be exposed for the entire distance. With the present service bullet. infantry are out of range for about 700 yards of 1. 900 and at the 500 yard mark cavalrymen would hear the bullets whizzlnE over their heads

BERLIN'S NEW PROPOSAL
FOR FAVORED TREATMENT
May arrange Short Time Reciprocal
Treaty 5cith United States.

Berlin, Feb. 15.-The government will go be-
fore the Rechstsg within three or four days
with proposal TO give the United States the
same treatment under the new tariff, which be-
comes operative March l. as that given TO
countries with which Germany has arranged
reciprocal trade treaties.
The rreciss terms OF the governments bill will
depend somewhat on the result OF negotiations
which are still continuing at Washington be-
tween Ambassador Speck Won Sternburg and
the State Department as to notifications in the
American system Of invoicing and valuing. some
features OF which considered by German ex-
porters vexatious and unjust.
Information regarding exactly what the United
States will do in this respect is expected by the
Foreign Office to-day or tomorrow. The Ger
man governments proposal 10 give the United
States this favored treatment is only for a fixed
period, probably year. 10 afford time TO
conclude more permanent arrang ements
The position of the German government Is
one Of uncommon difficulty because both indus
trial and agricultural interests have been pour
ing in memorials and petitions 10 the Chancel-
Tor and other ministers. urging the government
to stand firm and not hand TO the United
States for nothing or next TO nothing privileges
for which other countries have given equal re-
turns in kind. The government. therefore. faces
a Rechstag nearly unfriendly to tariff con-
cessions as the United States Senate.
The government has been canvassing the MEM
bers for several days in an endeavor to find
majority for its proposition This is still mat
ter of doubt with the chances in favor Of the
governments success. To ask the Reichstag for
authority TO enter upon tariff fight with the
United States would be a far moro popular sug-
gestion as the commercial interests seem to pre-
fer such a course
The governments view is political rather than
economic, as IL prefers not TO insist conces-
sions OF an extensive character from the United
States, when ii is known that the President Is
powerIess TO obtain them from the Senate, but
rather TO enter upon a short term arrangement
with the United States in the hope OF making
better terms later.
