'Berlin Frcisinnigo Xeltung finds comfort in
f predicting that the ultimate poll of the
party , combined with the volkcspurtc , cen

that if the plebiscite wcro to decide the futo

'vote ' already cast would determine that.

In calculating what accession of strength
tbo socialists will gain in the Reichsta ? the
fact must bo remembered that the whole

In general the advantages gained by the
government nro to bo found in the prospect
that some ten radical unionists who voted
against the army bill and who would now
favor it , have good prospects of sitting in
the next Reichstag and that the anti-Semitic
representation , partially favorable to the
government , bids fair to bo greatly in

Thcro are two disquieting symptoms. The
flrst is the defeat of the emperor , who un
necessarily took a personal part in the
electoral struggle , and the second is the con-
stunt progress of socialism , which is gaining
ground everywhere In Germany , hoth In the
rural districts and in the cities.

But more especially docs the progress of

are convinced that William II is of a pacific
temperament , but nearly all believe that if
socialism continues to advance , and moro es
pecially if it extends to the nrmy , the em
peror will bo forced to resort to a war in
order to win by means of military glory all
those who are uotyot attacked by socialistic
Ideas. All the great cities are already lost.
If the rural regions are attacked in thcii
turn a revolution will break out in Germany
Inside of twenty-five years.
The situation has boon so changed by the
success of the socialists that no ono now
talks about the adoption of the army bill
the adoption or rejection of which has become
como a matter of no importance. All realize
that the very social fabric of the empire is
at stake. It is the general opinion that the
army bill will be rejected.
Another Sure Spot for William.

CntCAoo , Juno 17. [ Special Telegram to
Tun Hue. 1 An unusual effort will be rondo
during the current year to increase the ex
portation of the food products of this coun
try Into European countries. Hon. John
Mattes of Nebraska , , special commissioner
to Europe , leaves Chicago Tuesday morning
for Germany and Franco to work for this
end. Acting under the instructions of Sec
retary of Agriculture Morton , from whom
ho received his appointment , Mr. Mattes has
just completed a thorough investigation of
the system of meat inspection in vogue
in this country , having spent the last thrco
weeks nt the Artno'ur' ' and Swift packing
plants , and he , therefore , goes thoroughly
equipped for his work.
It seems , dcsplto the law providing for
inspection of meats for * ' the export trade ,
that both Germany and Franco exact rcin-
spcction of these products before they are
permitted to enter into "competition with
like products of thoiljomc market. This
action is justified by the ] municipal authori
ties of these countries by the assertion that
meat inspection in this qountry is imperfect ;
that it is not made in .ft scientific manner ;
and that the homo law would become prac-
ticirtly inoperative ifrcinspoction was not
exacted. This assertion has not baeii re
ceived by the Department of Agriculture
with tho-bcst of grace.
Moat inspection , it ; will bo remembered ,
was inaugurated in"this country . . ut an
enormous expense" and1' to meet the require
ments > of the Gcrmnn and French govern
ments ' 'especially. I Instead , the law has
fallen" short in its' Intent. Last year ,
January to June , meat cxportations to Ger
many and Franco did not aggregate quite
4,000,000 , while to England , where meat in
spection is not required , they exceeded ? ao- ,
000,000.
This government therefore seeks to have
the expense of relnspecllon cut off , or will
have the bureaus for meat inspection
abolished throughout the country.
Mr. Mattes' A'IUWH.
Durl ig a talk with Mr. Mattes on his im
portant mission , ho' said : "When becretary
Morton sent mo my .commission as special
commissioner to Europe with instructions , I
sought the best knowledge of my prospective
work obtainable. While the inspection
bureaus at Omaha , Kansas City , and other
minor stations afforded mo much valuable
information , it was not paramount with that
obtained hero In Chicago , because they were
not so extensive and perhaps not so perfect
in their several departments. Still I found
that inspection of moats in this country is
made in a thoroughly scientific manner and
bollcvo that I shall bo able to convince the
authorities of the countries that I visit
that reinspection is unnecessary. If I suc
ceed in doing this it will reduce the cost of
exportation and increase the profit for pro
ducers. My success Jin this , however , may
depend upon municipal relations of which I
have no knowledge.
"Cattle and hogs are inspected in hoof in
the shamble. This is'as ' porlcct as it is possible -
siblo to make it. A ; scientific retinue ol
microscoplsts is employed at nil stations
under direction of a chief , a practical
veterinarian , and the work Is such that il
could not well bo otherwise than thoroughly
.scientific and in accord with the inspection
laws of anytcountry.
Oulto mi Important Item.
Germany is ray native home , and mj
knowledge of the Reichstag loads mo U
sp'cak advisedly. The country probably prepares
pares from 100,000 to 200,000 cattle for the
export trade each quarter , Hence the 1m
portnnco of lopping off export expense 01
abolishing the Inspection bureaus can hi
seen ,
But my mission has to do with anothci
matter , as important to the producers of mj
adopted country as the ono cited. It ii
known hero that corn can bo employed ii
the manufacture of eorwith as good if noi
better results than barley. Being a practica
browcr , I think I shall bo able to convlnci
any native countrymen that this is true
Success in this direction means the exporta
* turn of millions of bushels of corn to Ger
inimy each year , and consequently a largel ;
increased price for tillscereal. . Corn hai
become an Iniportant'fuctor in the manufacture
turo of beer in this country. There is in
s good reason why It should not bocoinc at

CHICAGO , Juno 17. Chief Justice Fuller
this morn ing overruled the decision of the
federal circuit court which issued tlio in
junction restraining the directors of the
World's ' fair from opening the gates on Sun- .
day. Ho * decides for the United States
court of appeals and remands the case to the
circuit court for the reversal of Its action.
The court room was crowded to the ut
most and the interest at the outso't gave
place to the utmost satisfaction at the close.
The decision settles the matter finally , , as
the only appeal is to the supreme court ,
which docs not meet till October , when the
fair will bo cnaod.
The opinion rendered covers only tbo ma
terial points , owing to lack of timo. A full
decision will bo rendered later. The opinion
began by overruling the motion of the
government counsel to dismiss the appeal
from the circuit court on the ground of the
nonjurlsdiction of the appellate court , as un
tenable. It was also held that the pift from
the United States to the fair was in no souse
a charity trust ; that , when the grant was
made in consideration of a local corporation
having expended upwards of § 10,000.000
toward a public enterprise , It was not done
for the purXso | of obtaining control in whole
or in part. The restraining order of the
circuit coutt preventing the opening of the
gates Sundays must therefore bo set asldo
and the case reminded.
Justices Bunn and Allen concurred in the
decision , making the court's action unani
mous.
The court further made the point against
the action by the injunction that it had not
been shown how any interest which the gov
ernment might have in the fair would be
irreparably damaged by opening the fair on
Sundays ,

land upon. It seemed to him that the end
liad now been reached , though ho was not
entirely sure , not having carefully examined
the law , but that an appeal should bo taken
o the supreme court of the United States.
This , however , would seem to bo useless as
the court did not moot until October , and
before the case could bo board In that tri
bunal the fair would bo closed by limitation.
He could not sco that any injunctions
should bo thrown in the way of opening the
fair on Sunday , but , as the matter was in
the immediate charge ot United States At
torney Mllchrlst and two nbln assistants , ho
had no doubt that they would exhaust every
legal means known to law to uphold the in
tent of congress. While ho saw no means in
sight , perhaps those who had been moro in
timately associated with the case than ho ,
would yet discover them.
Otncr mutters of a complicated character ,
ho said , would undoubtedly grow out of this
decision. For instance , the donation of con
gress of $2.500,000 to the fair had been coupled -
pled with the condition that the fair should
not be open on Sundays. The decision of
the Court of Appeals that the fair could
open on SSliday , and the well known
intent of the local directory to
open it on Sunday would seem to imply on
their part a disregard for the condition upon
which the money was granted. The local
directory had nlroidy received in round
figures § 1,000,000. Could not the govern
ment , ho asked , now proceed by legal means
to collect the money advanced , as the condi
tion upon which it had been received had
been forfeited ? It was certain to his mind
that the government could not now give to
the World's fair authorities the ? 300OJ3 still
retained in the treasury , but which has been
appropriated on certain conditions. The
condition was that security for the fWO.OOfl
should bo given. Up to today this money
would have boon paid by tlio government
had the security boon furnished. It hud nol
been furnished , and BO had been retained It
the treasury , But now , in view of the do
clslon , oven if the security was furnished
the government could not pay out the monoj
to the World's fulr people. Doubtless hi
would bo confronted with a proposition t (
take steps to recover the $1,500,000 , alroad ;
paid.

lie had not yet seen the text of the cdc
rtslon or seen published the application upoi
which the derision was granted. Porhnp :
the gate money could bo impounded to rclm
burse the government. Still , ho was not en
tlroly clear as to this , and would have b
consider the mutter moro in detail.
Another question alfeetod by the decolsloi
was the government exhibits , All the dc
partmciits o' the government had exhibits a
the fair and all the appropriations made fo
them , were coupled with the condition tlia
the exhibits should not Do opened o
Sunday. It was entirely clear that th
government exhibits could not bo opcne
on Sunday , but the conditions In
posed might have gone further and inlgti
prevent the government exhibits beln
opened on any day , now that it has been dc
elded thut it is legal to open the World's fa !

Captain Anderson anil HI * Hardy Crow of
Norsemen ICench Now York.
Knw YORK , Juno 17. Hardy Norsemen.
Captain Anderson and his crow , after Jour
neying down the const from the banks of
Newfoundland , today sailed into the port of
Now York with the counterpart of the
Viking ship of old and wore given a reception
far different from that their ancestors re
ceived years before Columbus landed on tbo
shores of the now world. Hough wcathcr-
uouttn citl/cns as they are , tears came to
their eyes when they were welcomed in their
native tongue by Norwegian-Americans at
City Island , where their queer craft dropped
anchor this afternoon.
The Viking came down the sound from
Now London , Conn. , in tow. Off Sands
Point she was met by the steamboat Laura
M. Starin with the committee of reception
from this city on board. There was n great
blowing of whistles and dipping of flags and
the band played the Vilting march , com
posed for the occasion. Captain Anderson
stood in the stern of the queer looking craft
and took off his cap repeatedly to the salutes
of the many steam yachts and tugs which
met him. _
The Viking sailed from Sands Point to
Coney island , where the Mluntonoraah lay
at anchor awaiting to give the visitor a na
tional salute of welcome. It was 115 : when
the Viking passed Uncle Sam's crack moni
tor. When the boom of the big guns had
ceased , there was a puff of blue smoke for
ward on the Viking , and a sound like that of
a big firecracker came across the water.
The Norsemen answered the salute from six
little cannon. The Viking swung around
and dropped anchor alongside of the Mian-
tnnomah. Captain Secard of the Miantono-
mah boarded her and mid nn official visit.
Then the crow , who have imitated the
cruise of Lelf Ericksen and crossed the rag-
ng ocean in an open boat , were taken on
board the Laura M. Starin , where they
worn welcomed to America by the commit
tee and many of their own countrymen , who
live hero.
The naval reserves were drawn up on the
forward deck when the Norwegians went on
tbo committee boat. The band played the
Norwegian anthem and the committee stood
ready to receive the voyagers.
After luncheon Prof. Boyescn delivered an
address of welcome.
Captain Anderson replied ns follows : "In
behalf of the Norwegian citizens who have
had this exact reproduction of the Old
Viking ship built and sent hero under my
command I sincerely thank the American
citizens for this hearty welcome they have
given the Viking. It makes my heart beat
quicker than it over did before to know that
our now Viking ship Is being given an almost
oyal reception , and I am sure that that Is
the feeling of my crow also. Wo nro very
proud of being the chosen ones to bring the
ship over , and wo bring the thanks ot
Norwegians to all American citl/ons who
have Joined in this welcome. 1 wish to say
thatjho Viking is sent by tbo people of Nor
way llono ; the Swedish union has nothing
to do with it. "
Joseph II , Choato then spoke briefly end
was followed by Scth Lowe of Columbia col
lege , Captain Secard and ox-Coinmodoro
Knln of the Now York Yacht club.
Then Captain Anderson returned to the
Viking and the procession of escort was
formed to take the ship to Now York. The
police patrolod , The tug John Fuller with
the naval reserve followed. Then came thu
Mluntonomnh and nftcr her was the navy
yard tug Nurkata towing the Viking , After
the Viking cumo the committee boat nnd the
Crystal steamboat with the Norwegian so
cieties from New York nnd Brooklyn , the
steamboats and a score of tugs and steam
yachts. The boats passed through Hell
Gate at 5 o'clock , wont down the East rlvci
clccrod ) by thousands of people on both
bunks , under the Brooklyn bridge mid roundIng -
Ing the Battery passed up the Hudson U
Twenty-third street. Hero the Viking casl
off the towing line and putting out hei
thirty-two oars , rowed to Twenty-fourtli
street , where she dropped anchor.
