WANT AMERICAN BEEVES
Germans Admit Some of Present Re-
strictiOns Are Quite I'm
necessary.

Berlin, Nov. 21.-The treatment of
American meats by Germany and the
probability of modification in forth
coming negotiations for a trade ar
rangement between the two countries
is much discussed in German newspa-
pers.
The belief of the Commercial Treaty
association, which is opposed to the
high protective policy of the govern
ment, expresses the opinion that some
restrictions placed upon American
meats are unnecessary from the purely
sanitary standpoint and might well be
moderated in exchange for certain
amendments under the American tariff
law.
The prohibition against the impOrta-
ton of American beef cattle was is
sued in 1895 because several animals in
two CargOes shipped to Hamburg were
discovered to be affected with Texas
fever; but the importation of live cat
tie from Australia, Russia, RUmania,
Italy and some other countries is also
prohibited, but for other reasons.
1t is remarked, Furthermore, that
even if the prohibition of imports from
the United States were abrOgated. it
would still be impossible to bring
American cattle into Germany, because
they, in common with cattle from other
oversee countries, would be subject to
q quarantine detention and observation
of four weeks and would have to be
put through the tubeTculine test.

OPPOSE ENGLISH LORDS
Proletariat Resents Alleged Attempts
of Aristoeraey to Rule Great
Britain.

London, Nov 21-The United King
dom is more absorbed in politics now
than for many years, and the coming
week will see the elimination of the
fierce warfare over the budget. The
house of lords is expected to vote
Thursday on Lord LansdOwne's reso-
luton calling for the rejection of the
budget.
Most leaders in the upper house win
speak. Lord ROseberry's efforts for
the Conservatives and that OF the Earl
of Halsbury for the Liberals are
awaited with the most interest. Prob
ably the largest number Of lords was
mustered for the vote since the rejec-
ton Of home rule. About $50 are likely
to be assembled, and not more than
one-quarter of these will support the
budget.
Most of the politicians predict that
when the question goes before the peo-
pie at the general elections in jan
uary it will be impossible to wipe out
the great Liberal majority and that the
Liberal government viii be returned,
but with a comparatively small- ma
jority The betting at Lloyds is to 1
i'm favor of the Liberals. Liberal lead
ers declare that the issue is whether
the hereditary chamber shall rule the
country.

TRY TO POISON ARMY
OFFICERS IN GERMANY
Proposed Victims All Just Promoted
to Be Captains in Kaiser's
Forces.

Vienna, Nov. 21.-An extraordinary ct
tempt at wholesale poisoning among mill
tary officers here has caused a sensation.
A large number of officers just promoted
to be captains in the general staff have
received through the mails sample boxes
of pills.
These were accompanied by a circular
recommending them for nervous debility.
Captain Nader took some of the pills, and
died almost Immediately. An autopsy re
vealed the presence of cyanide of potas-
SUM.
a further investigation showed that all
the pills contained cyanide of potassium
in large quantities, and also that many
first lieutenants attached to the staff
but not promoted had not received pills.
The circulars were signed Charles Fran
els" and bore false address.
It is suggested that the poison may
have been sent out by some disappointed
officer, or that the poisoning is an an
archist outrage.
