Spain's acceptance o ! the terms ot the United States In the peace negotiations has keenly Interested the Ger man government and press. Although ad hering to Its policy , consistently followed throughout , the government has uttered no opinion cither In Interviews or through the medium ot the semi-official press. Dut the newspapers generally admit that hereafter tbo United States must be seriously reckoned with In European peace and politics and at B colonial power whoso purpose and cnergj Way Interfere with the ambitions of other powers. The German papers , therefore , pre dict frequent political complications for the United States. The Cologne Gazette attributes Europe's noninterference In the peace negotiations al Paris to mutual abuses and expresses the opinion that America will find the new col onies a greater source ot trouble than the ; uspcct. The Lokal Anzelgcr says : "The Amcrlcar government will probably eschew compulsorj general military service , but that Its hired forces will come largely from Cuba , the Philippine Islands , Central and South Amer ica and Bast Asia , thus reviving the me diaeval system of mercenary troops. " The Voerwaerts declares that it Is al ready certain that England will find Its male competitors In the Americans ns well as ir the eastern Asiatic markets. "The United States is a rising star and between the United States and Great Britain the fight foi this trade will begin. " ' The Deutsche Zcltung has published a Ions editorial regretting that Germany had noi intervened between Spain and the Unltei States. It concludes as follows : "And cat we obtain nothing from the Spanish colonla estate which Is visibly , piece by piece , be ing sold at auction ? " Meat Inspection mil. The Imperial meat Inspection bill wblcl Iras .Introduced In the Reichstag early in thi slim IK now taking a surprising turn. , 'he > agrnrians themselves'for whom thi bill was Introduced , now strongly object t < it , unless , ns they assert. It Is greatly al tcred. They find that the bill In Its presen form hurts them nearly ns much an 1 docs the American meat Importew , Inas much as It provides for a rigid Inspection of their ow'n meat and for Its confiscattoi If It Is diseased. Therefore , since there 1 an enormous amount of disease In Germa cattle and swine , as shown by official sta tlatlcs and the regular publications of th Rclchanzclgcr , all this will hit them ver bard unless the government agrees to re imbursa the owners of confiscated or re Jectoil meats. Strong pressure has beci brought to bear on the Imperial govern ment to Insert a clause In the bill , pro vldlng for the Indemnification of owners and over this clause a wianglo Is proceedln between the various German government ! Prussia favors n moderate Indcmnlflcatlor while the other German states are ncarl all against It. . In the meanwhile the agrarian press con tlnues Its warfare on nil American meal Its- - main orgitho Deutsche Tag ZclUmj and the Hamburger Nachrlchtcn ailvocat the rejection of all American canned meal and sausage. In strange contrast with thi Is a memorial about the meat famine draw up by the municipality of Ilerlln , whlc proves that the German breeders do nc raise enough cattle and pigs to satisfy th needs of the nation and that the sjatcmatl exclusion of foreign cattle and swlno ha decidedly lowered the quality of the mca brought to thu market and has helghtenc the price to such nn extent that horses an oven dog meat bad become staple with th poorer classes In ' certain districts an notably In large cities. The memorial also asserts that the me : consumption of Derlln has decreased sine the rigid examination of foreign moats.

A nice reception tbi are giving me ! " In addition to this the Berlin papers su tested that there be no celebration ot tl home-coming of the emperor and cmpreea. A significant tact was that the French fl ; was holtted at the French embassy on tl occasion of the emperor's entry Into Borl end It was emphasised by the welcome e tended by the French ambassador , the Ma quls de Noatlles , who watched the processli from the balcony ot the embassy. This exceptional and wag regarded an being sig nificant of the French government's deslra to be on friendly terms with Qermanr Just now. A similar compliment was paid to the emperor by the United States and Russian embassies , which are situated on the Un- tcr Den Linden.

Atmtrlun Premier In the Public Ere. The German newspapers are Indignant over the recent speech of Count Thun Hohensteln , the Austrian premier. In which bo threatened In the Relchsrath , at Vienna , to retaliate against Prussia's expulsion of Austrian * from the frontier provinces. Em peror William , however , Is said to be very dissatisfied at the "want of tact" ehown by the Prussian officials and many of them may bo replaced. But the action of the Austrian premier Is regarded M very seri ous , as It Is taken to Indicate the attitude of Austria. It Is pointed out that Count Thun Hohen- ateln's speech was Intended to please the Poles , who detest the 'idea of an alliance with Germany , which Is bound to suffer by such an Incident. Indeed , the Idea prevail * hero that the days of the Drelbund are num bered. Several of the Berlin papers ex press this conviction. The Cologne Gazette , In an article com paring the navies of Germany and the United States , says that In 1901 the Ameri can navy would be larger than the German navy and It urges the government to push the shipbuilding echcuie to get on an equal footing with the United States.

ENGLAND'S IMPERIOUS TONE Demand I * Voiced for Ilather Gener- on * Treatment In Matter of Shar ing Ileneflt * of New Territory. ( Copyright , 1898 , by Associated Press. ) LONDON , Dec. 3. The practical conclu sion ot the peace negotiations at Paris is hailed hero with considerable satisfaction and the newspapers dally discuss the so- called "Imperial" future of the United States , coupled with the fervent hopes that they will adopt a colonial policy. In fact , the latter point Is regarded as being the cornerstone of the Anglo-American under standing , which Is now an Important feature of every political speech delivered on this side of the Atlantic. The Saturday Review la very candid about what It describes as the "slobbering cant and hypercritical blazoning of doubtful affec tion" between the United States and Great Britain , and says : "Let us be trank and say outright that wo expect mutual gain in ma terial Interest ! ) from this rapprochement. "The American commissioners at Parts are making their bargain , whether they realize It or not , under the protecting naval strength of England , and we shall expect a material quid pro quo for this assistance. We expect tr.3 . United States todeal generously with Canada In the matter of tariffs , and we ex pect to be remembered when the United States comes Into poiieiilon ot the Phlllp- plnes , and above all we expect Its assist ance on the day , which Is quickly approachIng - Ing , when China comes up for settlement , tor the young imperialist has entered upon n path where it will require a strong , friend. A lasting friendship between the two na tions can be secured , not by frothy senti mentality on public platforms , , but by recip rocal advantages In colld , material Inter ests. " The foregoing opinion Is certainly out spoken enough , but every American moving In business circles here knows this voices j the expectations of the average English man. man.Tho The question of the Sulu islands has awakened a great deal ot Interest and this Is again viewed thn ugh the spectacles ol British commerce , the Pall Mall Gazette re marking : "Let the United States acquire the Sulus If they want .th'em , but let us have ar 'open door' 'there for our trndo. The Suluj arc the connecting link between North ; , Borneo and the Philippines and wo have , ns much Interest In the Islands as the i Americans will have. An equality of treatment - , ment will promote trade not only between , Borneo and Sulu but between B&rnco and the Philippines also. ; ( Clilrliiul CnnlliiR Station. The rumor that the United State * acquired a coaling station at Chlrlqul , Colombia elicited the usual editorials from the Brit- 1 Ish press prompting the government to de- I ni.ind compensation for tbo abrogation o ! the Clapton-Bulwer treaty. The Spectator I , however , takes a very conciliatory view j of the matter and declares that It woulO t i bo a mistake for Great Britain to Inslsl > perennially on the maintenance ot the treaty ! pointing out that the Nicaragua canal wll : , ' neviT bo constructed unless the treaty Is ab rogated. ' The paper asks : "It Is very much to our Interest that tin canal bo'made. The canal will enable Ui to reinforce our Pacific from our Atlantli squadon and vice versa , while tbo advan- t tage to our commerce Is obvious. We wan I1 to see the treaty abrogated on the eole con- 3 dltlnn that the Americans make the cana within n definite time. " Agulnaldo's supporters In the Phlllpplnei are very much concerned about the proposc-i visit to the United States of a Filipino named Cortes , as a representative of Fill feeling. The sn-called Filipino junta a Hong Kong has cabled to the L ndon ollln i of the- Associated Press disavowing Corte ; 1 I and declaring that he represents nobody bu himself.

LONDON , Dec. 3. ( Correspondence ot th Associated Press. ) William T. Stead , writIng - Ing on the adjustment of the peace- condi tions under the head ot "What Doe * the Old World Think of the Now World ? " says : "The answer to tbo question : What does the old world think ot the new world ? has never been made with greater emphasis than In the eternal city. The oldest old world regards the newest new world with feelings of anger , disgust and alarm almost too great for words. The sentiment of In dignation differs In Intensity. Bui it Is uni versal. There Is no sympathy for the United States , either among whites or blacks. In fact , dislike of the American seizure of the Philippines and a conviction that the hu mane enthusiasm which -made the war pos sible was a more mask of cant assumed In order to facilitate conquest , and this Is al most the only sentiment shared In common by the rival camps of the qutranlal and ot the Vatican. "With the king's men the sentiment Is comparatively mild. They do not believe In the least in the disinterestedness of tfce American war of liberation. The American declarations are almost universally derided as hideous examples of a worse than Eng lish hypocrisy. Uncle Sam , they say , de termined In all things to surpass John Bull and outdo him , even In Pharalseelsrn and cant. The friends of America wring their hands in unaffected grief over the fall ot the United States under the temptation ot the lust ot territorial expansion. Its eno- mlea shoot out the Up and can shriek In de rision over what they regard as the unmis takable demonstration which the demand for the Philippines affords of American cupid ity , American bad faith and American nm- bltlon. " 'Wo told you fie , ' they exclaim. 'That la what the unctlous rectitude ot the Anglo- Saxon always ends in. Ho always begins by calling heaven to witness his unselfish desire to Mp his neighbors , but he always ends by "stealing his spoons. ' .Current Optnlon lu" "It Is unpleasant for tbo Anglo-Saxon tc hear thta on every side , but since the peace negotiations have developed a demand foi the complete cession of tbo Philippines , Americans will do well to recognize thai some such statement as the above represents { the current opinion of almost everyone In Europe who pays cursory attention to wbal Is going on abroad. The Immense majority of Europeans arc , of course , absolutely Ig norant of what has happened. Intent or their dally toll , they neither know or care what occurs In other hemispheres. But the Europeans _ who read newspapers and whc form what may bo described as the public opinion of the old world , arc practically ol one mind on the matter. Outside of Eng land I have met no non-American who die not dislike tbo expansion of America , noi do I think In the whole of our Europe 1 have met one European who did not recetvf niy proatatlons as to the genuine slncerlt : with which the American people cnteroc the war , with more or less mocking Incre dulity. " -'It Is all very well , ' they say In effect 'to dissemble your love , but why did yoi kick mo down stairs ? It was all very well to proclaim your disinterestedness , but whj did you seize the Philippines ? ' " 'Mere national brigandage , marked ! ; odious PbaraLscelsra , ' Is u phrase whlcl roughly represents the Judgment ot the ol < on the recent developments of the new From which It may be learned rnce menthe the old truth , that In a man's judgmen of his neighbor's motives we see thu ralr | ror of his own character. For the mo ? part they express no surprise. They ex i peeled nothing better from these Engllsl I of the new world. They are true to thel ancestry. But there Is In every country i minority of thoughtful men who , having fo all their lives been the staunchest friend of the American commonwealth , arc nov confounded and utterly put to shame a what Is universally regarded as the npos tlclty of the United States , the abandon ment of their national policy and the adop tlon of the world policy of conquest. "When I listened , as I have been llstenlni for months past , to the alternate taunt ; and lamentations of the foes and friends o America , the babel of volies seemed at las to merge Into one scornful chorus of wel ccmc to Uncle Sam. " 'Hell from beneath Is moved from thee t < meet thco at thy coming ; It stlrreth up UN dead for thce , even all the chief ones of thi earth ; It hath raised up from their throne : all the kings of the nations. All thoyehal speak and say unto the ? , 'Art thou alsa be come as weak as we ? Art thou become llki unto us ? How are thou fillon fron heaven , O Lucifer , son of the morning ! ' Ilcocrt 1'enrefnl Tradition * . "You may argue , protest and rage , as yoi please , the old world has made up Its mini upon the subject and nothing that can bi said or done In the United States will altc Its Judgment. The American governmen has become out ot Its ring since. It ha thrown Its hat Into the arena of the world It Is launched on a career of conquest whlcl will be all the more predatory because It 1 < masked by humsnltarlsm. The common wealth , they hold , has succumbed to th malady which has so long plagued the eli world. A bright hope for the human ey. . was extinguished when the one non-mllltar ; power , which eschewed all schemes of ag greEslon and annexation , enrolled Itael among the common herd of conquerin ; states. So men talk everywhe-e in Europe Whether they regard the old American Idea with sympathy cr with contempt , they al agree In believing that It has been aban doned and that forever. "The annexation of the Philippine Island may seem but a small thing , but It Is de rlslve. When Eve ate the apple it was bu the act ot a moment. But it barred agalns her forever the gates of paradise. What th old world sajs is that the new world ha now eaten of the forbidden fruit , and th flaming sword which turned every way wll prevent a return to the peaceful tradition of the fathers of the republic. "In the course ot my tour I am noi compelled to admit I found proof 6f the existence of a disposition on the part ot the powers to Intervene on behalf of Spain , which might have been very serious had It not been checked in the bud by the knowl edge that England would have nothing to da with It.

( Copyright , 1S93 , by Press Publishing : Co. ) LONDON , Dec. 3. ( New York World Ca blegram Special Telegram. ) Bradley Mar tin , Jr. , contributes to the December Cen tury an article , entitled "Is the Lavish ex penditure ot Wraith Justifiable ? " In the course of which ho says : "It seems to me that In a year of great depression an Increased and unexplained demand for pure luxuries Is beneficial to the community. When financial depressions occur people have to cut down expenses , but this is dona almost entirely out ot luxuries. The people must have food , railways must run. Whatever happens , therefore , It is the bonnet maker , the florist , etc. , who suffer most and are In the greatest need ot as sistance. Take a concrete case two years ago In a New York factory. A ball took place which gave employment to numbers ot seamstresses , glovomakers , cab drivers , etc. , who otherwise would have been out of em ployment all winter. In fact , in many trades bands had been called from other cities. But as they met the direct benefits caused by this abnormal demand the Indirect benefits of trade were far greater still. Orders placed in tbo hands ot the dressmaker , the tailor , etc. , .enabled them again to employ com mercial travelers In their business. Thus an Impetus was given to trade that was appre ciably felt over the country. Those directly employed were able to add to the trade re vived , as they had more money to spend on the necessaries and luxuries of life and these from whom they were obtained were In turn able to give more employment to others. This repeated Itself right down the social scale and was equally true of cab drivers on one hand and hotel proprietors on the other. In fact , the ball was like a pebble dropped Into a mill'pond , which created a ripple that 'extended to the four boundaries In an aver widening circle. " . 'Millionaire a Good TbnK. : Ho asked two question. * : MlMri OakUJlcV aBT be pre- Second , "Is a millionaire member ot a community to be desired ? " In the course of his answer he says : "Tho richer a man is the greater is the proportion tion of his saving to his income. Moat rich men save moro than half their Income , while In the case of enormous fortunes a much greater percentage is attained. Take a man with a fortune of 20,000,000. He at 6 per cent < has an Income of 1,000,000 yearly , or which ho could not very well spend more than 100,000 a year. Now , If this 20,000.- 000 was owned by 10,000 persons Instead ot | j ono they would all have as their share 100 a year , of which they would probably spend y , 80. Therefore , their savings would amount S In the aggregate to 100,000. whllp a multi millionaire's savings would be 900,000 from the same capital. Therefore , the community which had a multl-mllllt.aalre would grow richer at the rate of 80,000 per year at comp'und Interest over the community _ which has divided Its property up , even supposing - * | posing that 10,000 persons could Invest their ' money today as advantageously as one who - had so much more capital to manipulate and it thp Inducement to gave be equal. " I. Martin closes his article with the follow- e Ing conclusions : ; First It Is not a short sighted policy to ! . Ia\Ishly expend wealth. 11 Second A millionaire not on account of e i but In spite of his expenditures Is ocon- ; , omlcally the most beneficial person for a > , community. - I Third No legislation can restrict or die- II tate how much or In what way a man's - Income shall be ppent , which does not apply n to all cfasses.

Mrs. Goolet is reputed to 'have an ambi tion to see her daughter wedded to Prince Francis of Tcck , brother of England's future queen. The Tecks aro'penniless and Miss Ooeilet Is n "great prize , but Queen Victoria's ofeecnt would bo required for such a union and she Is a stickler for caste. Prince Francis Is handsome , a dashing soldier and with his great connections can pretty nearly have his pick of the English aristocratic heiresses. The latest report concerning May Goelet connects her name with that ot Viscount Crlchton , aged 26 , a lieutenant and adjutant In the Royal Horse Guards. He Is the eldest son of the earl of Erne , an Irish landlord , formerly a conservative "whip" in the House ot Commons and grand master ot the Orangemen ot Ireland. Crlchton is voted the handsomest man in London tall , erect , fair-haired , with a fair mustache , straight , regular features and a'decidedly distin guished air. His sister , Lady Evelyn Crlch ton , Is ono of the acknowledged beauties.

In the Interval , while the Goclets are passing through London Miss Goelet Is frequently seen of an after noon at the Princess Skating club with tht Ernes and , of course , Crlchton. The de velopment of this suit Is watched with the keenest Interest- well as with other less chat liable feelings. The Countess of Erne' ! management of the affair Is regarded aj masterly. It is felt rho would not damage her own daughter's chances by taking out s ( rich a rival without good reason.

GOOD OUTLOOK FOR FAST fHAIL SERVICE \ew Arranicement of Train * Will Mn terlnlly Iteduce the Time ne- twecn the Atlantic and Paolttc and Help Omaha. WASHINGTON , Dec , 3. ( Special Telc gram. ) Mr. Rosewater today presented to President McKtnley a pair of keys to the city of Omaha similar to those Mayor Moorcs pre sented to conventions and distinguished Visitors last summer , differing only in the manner of their decoration. They ore about a foot and u baft In length. Upon one Is printed the words "Omaha Welcomes the President" and on the other the date of his visit to the Gate City , October 12 , ' 98. They nro held together by handsome red. white and blue ribbons. The presentation was made without any formality , Mr. Rosewater Indi cating to the president his understanding that ho had expressed the doslro to have some such memento of his trip to the trnns- mlsstsslppl country during the summer just ended , and Mayor Mooros thought It but right and proper that the president should nave tbo keys of the city. In addition Mr. Rocewater presented to the chief executive a number ot pictures of Indians taken during the Indian congress at Omaha , and also scenes Incident to the presidential visit In October. Upon the Question of a now exposition being held upon the grounds of that which ceased to exist upon the Slst of October , President McKlnlcy expressed himself heartily In sympathy with It , and especially with the Idea , of assembling at Omaha an exhibit of America's new acquisitions , the products of these countries and people. Ho thought the occas'on would be most oppor tune and Omaha would be the best location , being the center of the Unltod States. Ho thought that the Interest would be mutual , the people ot tbo colonies coming In close 'touch with the people of the United States and thereby engendering moro amicable as sociations. The only drawback , the presi dent said , was < the question ot time. He was afraid there was not sufficient time to .col lect from the Philippine * any sort of an ex hibit that would fully set forth the varied Interests ot the Islands. President 1 * Favorable. He sorted.'however-that-he-was-anxious to assist and when Mr. Rosowoter suggested the possible time for opening the exposition might bo postponed until July or August the president said ho was heartily In favor of the project. This Idea , he said , he had expressed to Congressman Mercer , who called upon him In the Interest of the exposition some days ago , but now the Idea had grown upon him and seemed to appeal to him more favor ably than at first. Ho suggested to Mr. Roso- watcr that If five or six lines could be In serted In some bill calling upon the gov ernment to make such an exhibit at the ex position , to bo later named , at Omaha and authorizing the co-operation of the several departments for making such an exposition , It would assure very practical returns. The bureau of ethnology Is exceedingly anxious to participate , especially along the line of developing the education of the col- onltB and bringing their now Industrie.1) ) In close touch with the people of the states. The bureau has purchased the entire lot of negatives made by Mr. Rhlnehart of In dians nt the exhibition at Omaha and thesa will probably nt some future time be made the subject of nn Illustrated publication Issued under the direction of the bureau of ethnology. W. J. Magee. ethnologist In charge , Is moat desirous to have gioupa of Filipinos , Cubans and Porto Rlcans shown at the oxrosltlon , carrying on their native work , with correct representations of their habitat , In order thnt they could be prop erly grouped for educational purposes. Mr. Rosewnter Is authority for the state ment that Secretary Rage Is the most en thusiastic cabinet officer In Washington In bchiilf of another cxposlt'on ' to be held next year In Omaha , and will do everything In his power to help along the enterprise. Mr. Mercer has been unable to co-operate with Mr. Ropowater In the matter of ascer taining the sentiment of department officials here , on account of 111 health , but Is now enthusiastically Interested In the enterprise I and will lend It all the assistance he pos sibly can from this tlmo on. FiiHt Mall Service. The matter of fast mall service Is being considered In the Poitofflce department with considerable Interest these clays , and there has practically been an arrangement made whereby a number of houra wll bo taken off the run between New York and San Francisco. The purpose of the Postofllce department Is now to have a taut mail train leave Now York during the evening , arrive In Chicago the following evening , say at 8 or S.-20 o'clock , and arrive In Omaha about 8 o'clock the following morning , so that the mall for Omaha business men will be rowly ilor I'dlstrlbutlon forty-eight hours r after leaving Now York City. The tr < iln j will connect with the Union Pacific at I Omaha for San Francisco and Portland , shortening the run from New York to San I Francisco , It Is hoped , from twelve to fit- I teen hours. In conjunction with this Mr. j Rojewater today made application to - Second end Assistant I'ostmaster General Shal- lenbergcr and Captain White , superintend ent ot the railway mall service , to run a fast mall between Omabn and Lincoln to begin about January 1 , and to continue several months as a venture During the session of the legislature , Mr. Rosewater says , It Is Imperatively necessary that a train leave Omaha , say about t or B o'clock , making the run between Omaha and Lincoln In about seventy-five minutes. As It Is now It la Impossible to get mall Into Lincoln from Omaha until D or 10 o'clock In the morning , which , It Is contended , Is out of all reason , In vlow of the Importance of the two towns BO far as tbo city Is concerned , especially when the legislature la In session. The at tempt to lessen the time between New York and San Francisco will not be made until after the Christmas holiday * , Captain White asserting that the traffic at the present time Is entirely too heavy to make any practical demonstration of shortening the time dur ing the builoftt Bvaton of the year.
