Count von Kanltz, tho agrarian leader, ob
served that America's share of tho Imports
cf prepared meat wns only $1,000,000, which
he declared was n trlilc compared with the
Immense figures of America's balance of
trade. America, ho added, would surely not
herself destroy her huge exports to Ger
many on account of exclusion of her meat
from this country.
Tho secretary of state for the Interior.
Count von PcHidowsky-Wehner. replying to
various speakers, said tho bill wns n purely
hygienic measure which had been demanded
by all parties with tho sole object to pro
tect tho health of tho Germans. The gov
ernment, he added, had been formally asked
to apply the same rules of Inspection to for
eign meat nr. to Germany. The committee,
however, had not gone to such n length ns
thnt. It had admitted lard, hams, etc., In
some easts permanently and In other for
stated periods. Sausages, It Is true, some
tlmss rontalncd horrible Ingredients, but
what justified unequal treatment of bacon
and salted pork?
The secretary of state declared the debate
had taken a turn from whlrh It might bo

At first Emperor William was Inclined to
fulfill the wishes of the ngrnrlans, especially
ns thoy energetically declared that their sup
porters would not be ablo to enthuse for
naval Incre.iBo If they were not passed In
nccordanco with their desires. After Baron
von Hammerstcln had spoken In favor of
tho committee's report and arguments had
been made against it In tho emperor's pres
ence, Chancellor Hohenlohc sided with Count
von Buelow, saying ho would not be able
to remain In office were the bill in Its present
torm to hecomo a law.
Finally the emperor yielded to the chan
cellor. It Is now almost certain the hundes.
rath will not accept the bill In Its present
form nnd before the third reading u compro

The wholo nation Is thoroughly aroused.
Tho agricultural council has declared lbs

Decidedly encouraging reports continue tn

tho western part of tho state. There have
been comparatively no losses of cnttlc dur
ing tho winter. This Is remarkable. In view
of the fact that on Upper White rler alono
moro than 1,000 young southern cattle were
last fall turned loose on the range. On other
portions of tho range many thnusnnds of
these animals have been rustling for them
selves all winter. Tho mow fall has been
Kiilllclent to furnish necessary moisture on
those Tortious of the range remote from the

great enough to prevent cattle reaching the
cured grasses which have been abundant on
