LINCOLN, March 8.(Spcrhil.) Tho
Yclstr telephone nito onse has been net for
hcarlns before the Slate Hoard of Trans
jioriatlon at Omaha April 2. An the action
of tho district court of Lancaster county
in refunlng to rcBtraln the board from
fixing or regulating theso rates has twlco
hrcn nfflrmoil by the supreme court It Is
not probablo that there will be any further
delay In the hcarlns iiiiIcm the telephone
company carries the cane Into the federal
court. The Yclser case Ik similar to the
railroad rato curs, which hate been con
Mdercd by tho board during the last fe,v
werkn and' Involves prnotlpnlly the name
ouostlon of law. and as the Hoard of Trans
portation hag been restrained by Judgo
Mungcr from rednclnR railroad freight rates
there Is n possibility that the telephone
company may upply for a similar Injunc
tion. Among the decisions handed down by the
supreme court yesterday wa one touching
upon the locality of a contract made by n
commission agent or broker for the future
delivery of grain. Mock or other merchan
dise or nrtlcles commonly speculated upon.
The court holds that If the transaction h n
mere speculation on chance on the prin
cipal's part, and known to be such for those
sctlng for him. the agent cannot recover.
This case wop appealed to the supreme
court from Dixon county, where n brokerage
firm sued to recover an amount nllegcd to

HERL1N, March 8. In parliamentary
circles yesterday wild rur.icrs wcro circu
lated about the coming discussion in thu
Reichstag. Eugcno Rlchtsr, tho radical Ger
man leader, In tho FrcUlnnlge Zeltung, says
It is certain that tho government Is going
to yield to tho agrarlanr, nnd It Is probable
tho government representatives will appar
ently oppose today the committee, report as
exorbitant. Tho agrarians, however, claim
to know that Count von Wedel. chief of tho
imperial household, has convinced tho em
peror that It Is necessary to ylold tegardlng
tho prohibitory terms of the meat bill In
order to gain their votes for tho naval bill.
The fact Is that tho parliamentary leaders
themselves aro In tho dark. Prlnco von
Hohcnlohe, tho Imperial chancellor, yester
day heard prepared Htntomcnts by Couut
von Posadowsky-Wehner, the Imperial sec
retary of state for the Initrlor, and Herr
Ilrcfcld, Prussian minister of commerce, pro
nnd con, as to tho meat Inspection question,
From every part of tho cmplro protcsla
tiro arriving against tho present extreme
shape of tho meat bill. Among the pro
testors arn tho chambers of commerce of
Dcrlln, Koonlgsbcrg, Stettin, Munich and
tho Rhenish tcxtlllsts. A curious fact Is
that tho committee report, as It was
presented to tho Reichstag today, contains
no word regarding foreign meats as endan
gering health.
The press comments fully upon the meat
question, mostly against the bill, however.
Ono agrarian organ exclaims: "It would
bo an unheard of ohamo wcro tho govern
ment to retreat before tho quos ego of tho
Impudent Yankees and abandon measures
which tho samo government deems neces
sary In behalf of national hygiene."
Surgeon Oeneral Vlllaret publishes sta
tistics showing tho enormous spread of
tuberculosis among both German swine nnd
cattle.
Speeches In KclcliNtngr.
Tho Reichstag today debated tho meat In
spection bill on Its second reading. Para
graphs one, two nnd fourteen wcro taken up
first nnd considered conjointly. Herr Gers
tenberger, on behalf of tho centrists, said
ho thought the measuro unprejudldal to In
dustry, while It was beneficial to the henlth
of tho peoplo nnd agriculture.
Herr Friso, radical-union, said he consid
ered that no such blow hail ever struck at
trade, Industry nnd navigation ns by the
meat bill, the object of which he asserted
was tho exploitation of tho working classes
In favor of the agrarian. Even ngrlcultutc,
according to the speaker, would not derive
benefit. Ho hoped that while In America It
would arouse n feeling of malicious Joy, tho
shipping trade to America having proved so
remunerative to the large German companies
thnt It had been possible for them to estab
lish remunerative lines, that nonetheless
retaliatory measures would not bo long de
layed. Count von Kllnckowstrconi, conservative,
accused tho newspapers of giving artificial
importance to the matter. He said It was
qulto unnecessary to uphold tho bogy of
America. "That country," he continued,
"has for a long tlmo past overwhelmed us
with customs vexatious, yet to this America
wo arc expected to malto fcbnc'esslons. Wo
hope tho Bundcsrnth will mako use of tho
weapon placed In Its hand by this law In
order to create a peaceful, yet at the samo
tlmo satisfactory, position of nffalrs In re
gard to foreign countries."
Tho discussion of the bill drew a full at
tendance in tho Reichstag, except on the
government benches. Neither Prince von
Hohcnlohe nor Count von Huelow were pres
ent and Dnron von Thlelman, Duron von
Rlchthoff and Count Posodowskl-Kchner re
mained for a short time only. No ono wns
present from tho United States embassy, nor
nny special representative of the emperor.
General surprise was expressed at the fact
that no member of the government Inter
vened In tho debate. Tho Impression this
evening Is thnt tho bill will pass tomorrow
In Ita present shape. Tho left mainly nt
tacked paragraph 14. which excludes pickled
and canned meats and sausages forthwith,
and all classes of meats from 100 1, except
bacon, lard also being excluded.
The aggressive and confident tono of tho
agrarians was much remarked. Ono of their
effective arguments was to reproach tho
left with n ridiculous fear of tho Americans.
I'rutcMtliiK to the II 111 per or.
Today Emperor William visited Prlnco von
Hohenloho and received a general report on
tho situation. Meanwhile protests against
tho bill accumulate, a large number of the
moro prominent peoplo making them wiring
to the emperor direct, which an agrarian
paper cnlls "contemptible."
Well Informed circles say that tho con
servatives are bringlug enormous pressuro
to hear upon the emperor with a view to a
dissolution of the Reichstag, If the Hundes
rath docs not ncccpt tho bill. Tho conserva
tives are promising tho now Reichstag will
show a big majority for naval Increase, but
tho Imperial chancellor Is strongly opposed
to dissolution, becauso he fears that tho now
Rclchstng 'will bo moro numerously agrarian
than tho present body and tho government
would thus bo unable lo pawi the now com
mercial treaties.
