BERLIN, Julr 17. All the morning pa
pers devote much space to the tariff bill.
The maturity of the conservative papers
give the provisions of the bill, with little
discussion thereof, the tone of which Is.
however, that the duties have only been
moderately Increased and not to much so
ai the agricultural need, but that Count
von Buclow the Imperial chancellor did
his bast.
The Deutsche Tages Zeltung considers the
Increase In duties set forth by the bill to
be moderate and that foreign countries will
breathe morn freely since Its publication.
Die Post praises the wise moderation of
the bill, which It says renders It acceptable
abread and at home. The Post Interprets
the eighth paragraph as directed against
the United States and says.
"It gives us the means to protect our
selves against the highhanded manner In
which the United States Interprets reci
procity. We are decidedly discriminated
against under present conditions, We were
weaponless against such leonine treatment
In tariff matters because Caprlvl (the late
chancellor) literally threw away the most
favored nation treatment. This new tariff
shows a determination to Insure ourselves
a place In tariff matters and we expect
German manufacturers to agree thereto,
since many have suffered from the super
cilious morality of Americans in tariff
treatment."
.Makrn Unci Jl-ntter Wore.
With regard to paragraph 8 of the bill,
being the best means for convincing foreign
countries of the value of commercial
treaties with Germany, the liberal papers
emphasize the fact that this tariff bill
cornea at a time when German Industries
are already in the throes of the severest
crisis, and that It can cause only new con
vulsions in tho Industrial field. These pa
pert express the fear that the United
States will adopt reprisals upon German
shipping, and they also point out that
Germany's allies, Austria and Italy, must
lose a large part of their Qeruum.trade. ,
Even moderate papers llko the National
Zeltung confess that their worst fears
about concessions to the agrarians aro not
only confirmed, but exceeded. The National
Zeltung points out that the agrarians gain
great advantages, besides those resulting
from high duties, through the abolition of
the present bonded, warehouses previous on
grain and the abolition of the bill requiring
cash payment of duties, or 4 per cent
"interest thereon.
Some of the German papers Interpret the
North German Gazette's inspired statement
to the effect that the bill Is only tentative
and that tho Reichstag and the Dundesrath
may change it, as meaning that the gov
ernment wishes moderation in agricultural
duties. But Information obtained by tho
correspondent of the Associated Press from
Reichstag circles is that the Reichstag is
more than likely to make still greater in
creases in the bill.
Will Be Hard Fought.
All signs Indicate that a heated agitation
against the bill will break out throughout
the country. Tho liberal papers say tho
bill can only make socialist votes and theso
papers point out the most" recent evidence
of tho growth of the socialists in the two
bye-elections held in tho Memel district,
in which the conservatives lost about 2,000
votes, as against their majority of 1SSS,
while the socialists gained about the same
number. In the Dulsburgh-Ruhrort district.
In the election held July 25, the socialists
polled 14,000 votes, this being a gain of 100
per cent In the last three years. .
The Deutsche Tages Zeltung opens tho
war on the tariff bill and declares: "The
grain duties are insufficient. The duty on
tobacco must be Increased and potatoes
must be protected. Every exertion must be
made to transform this wholly inadequate
tariff into an effective protection for do
mestic Interests and the government roust
yield to the full agricultural domands when
tho fanners declare 'Kllpp and Klar' In the
Reichstag what duties the agriculturists
need to exist.
Concerning; Dr. Kooh.
The German newspapers have printed
lengthy reports of the address of. Dr. Rob
ert Koch before the British congress on
tuberculosis held In London this week, but
few opinions on Dr. Koch's addrcBB have
been expressed. Prof. Vlrchow, the well
known scientist, after having dissented at
a meeting of the medical society from Dr.
Koch's expressions In London, has ex
pressed still stronger dissent from these
views- in an interview, in which he has
said:
"I am emphatically against Dr. Koch's
deductions. He Ignores everything we owe
to the investigations and experiments of
the Copenhagen school. Tho commission of
the Danish government conducted the most
thorough experiments, the results of which
are most Catly contradicted by Dr. Koch.
You cannot say 'rfome has spoken' because
Dr. Koch la not Rome and tho matter is far
frrro being settled,"
The celebration it Ilalrruth nf the nn.r.
ter centennial anniversary of the erection j
of tho Wagnerian theater awakens much ,
Interest, The production last evening of,
me aiKyrie" aroused phenomenal en
thusiasm, especially for Herr Krauss, In hit
Interpretation of the part of Slgmund.
Such applause had never before been
heard in Balreuth. Herr Niemann rushed
on the stage and kissed Krauts, The or
chtstra was conducted by Herr Rlchter and
Madame Pattl was present at the perform
ance. John B, Jackson, secretary of the em
bassy at Berlin, and Mrs, Jackson are at
tending the festival at Balreuth, where
they will remain until August 3.

Strike.
(Copyright, 1501, by Press Publishing Co.)
LONDON, July 27. (New York World Ca
blegramSpecial Telegram.) The progress
of the steel workers' strike in the United
States is being followed with the keenest
Interest by workmen and capitalists here
and on the continent. Us succebt or failure,
It Is believed by the labor leaders here, will
have an Important bearing upon the future
of trades unionism lor the present genera
tion. Their sympathy Is wholly with the
men.
The employers are divided between class
sympathy and hope that the strike may
cripple American Industrial progress and
give England breathing time to grapple
with American competition.
Herr Krupp, the largest employer of iron
workers and allied trades In Germany,
has stated In his organ, tho Neueste
Nachrlchtcn, that he considers the strike a
"bright example of what would happen
If the movement among the socialists of
Germany to secure the removing of the
restrictions on strike pickets should suc
ceed. It Is organized civil war. exactly In
accordance with the socialist program."
The duke of Marlborough has given Blen
heim for a great unionist demonstration
August 10, when Arthur Balfour, Joseph
Chamberlain and other ministers will ad
dress a gathering of 3.000 delegates from
the unionist associations throughout Eng
land. The duke Is being run hard for nomi
nation for the Canadian vlreroyalty by tho
I duke of Leeds, whose wife Is a Lamlton,
thereby commanding lmmenso political and
family Influence for her husband.
Prof. Koch's new theory that tuberculosis
cannot bo communicated from cattle is
repudiated by all the leading authorities
here.
Prof. MacFadlen of the principal royal
veterinary college and a leading expert,
says: "The identity of the bacilli from
the two sources, men and anlmalB, Is as
firmly established as any other generally
accepted opinion regarding the Identity or
non-identity of bacteria associated with
disease In moro than one species of ani
mals." Dr Ravencl of Pennsylvania said ho had
himself observed three cases of direct In
fection of man by tho bacillus of bovine
tuberculosis.
Prof. Koch's theory. In fact, Is regarded
as an aberration of a brilliant Intellect.
The two salient facts brought out by an In
terchange of the views of the most eminent
doctors in the British tuberculosis congress
ore that the example of France and Ger
many In treating consumption as an In
fectious disease to be compulsorily reported
should be followed by other countries, and
that tho sputum Is a. fruitful source of
Infection.
Daniel Frohman sailed for New York
yesterday, taking with hlra the manuscript
of Plncro's new play. He has secured the
American rights in a new four-act comedy
drama by Sidney Grundy, and "The Comedy

thor of "San Toy." He has been buying
plays, too, from Guy Boothby, Max Pember
ton and Boyle Lawrence, as well as other
pieces for production at Daly's or the
Lyceum in New York the coming season.

Clyde Fitch, to be produced here next win

Julia Nelson also has secured a play
from Fitch, who is as industrious as he la
clever.
The remainder of Augustine Daly's
famous dramatic library will be 6old at
auction next week at Sotheby's.
Cecil Rhodes, who is staying quietly at
the Burlington hotel with Dr. Jameson, Is
rapidly becoming a confirmed hypochon
driac. He brought with him from South
Africa his own chef, his own poultry and
his own cow, and he lives wholly on what
they produce. The king held a special
meeting of the privy council last Tuesday
to Bwear In Rhodes. This Is bitterly re-
scntea ty tbe radicals, who mean to pro-

LONDON. July 27. (New York World Ca

bons received the World correspondent at
the house of the Brazilian minister, whose
guest be now Is. The American cardinal
said. "I have enjoyed my stay In London
greatly. I purpose to leave next week for
a visit In Dublin before going home
Asked concerning the object of his Journey
to Komn. the cardinal answered: "That Is
a matter of the strictest confidence be
tween myself and the Vatican and I cannot
speak of it.
"I never saw his holiness in better health.
His body seems frail enough, but his won
derful constitution Is as good as ever and
his mind is marvelously lucid and able.
The holy father's memory Is astounding.
He never forgets a face or a circumstance
connected with that face and will recall
inciaems or miriy nnu forty years ago
which have been quite forgotten by the
person that Is concerned.
"A young couple from Quebec had an
audience, while X was there and his holiness
Instantly mentioned the name of the bishop
of Quebec ard recalled without any effort
the names of others who were consecrated
with him. The alarmist reports about his
holiness' health are unfounded. I believe
his holiness will llvo many years.
"His holiness takes a deep Interest In
America and Americans. He. haa received
an Immense number this year. The re
lationship between the Vatican and the
United States Is growing much closer and
tho increase of the Catholic population In
America interests the pope greatly. He
follows the work of the Catholic church In
the United States with devoted attention
and never loses an opportunity of express
ing the delight It affords him."
Truly I'loua London.
"Do you think London a godless city?"
the correspondent asked.
"It doesn't strike mo that way," tho
cardinal responded, "although many people
have that Impression. I think 'there Ja a
great deal of true piety and many pious
workers here. But you know everyone finds
In London what he comes to look for.
There is everything In this great city.
Certainly It is tho best governed city in the
world. J have been greatly struck with
the drainage and the water supply. Both
seem perfect.
"We in America can learn a great deal
from London. Think ot the huge con
gested population here, the low death rate
and the people so orderly. Why, even the
cabmen and 'busmen don't swear."
The correspondent could not repress a
smile on hearing that remark, and his emi
nence added: "Well, at leaBt, I have not
heard them. Then, thnsn stpfldv nnllpe-
men, too, they are a wonderful race, al-
ways quiet, always civil. The arrange
ments, here, especially for the public health
and order, are excellent."
His eminence looks well. He has been
the guest of Cardinal Vaughan, the duke
of Norfolk, the carl of Denbigh and other
Catholic magnates, all ot whom were

He declined the help offered by many
steimers and sailing vessels, even when he

NEW YORK. July 27 Formal negotia
tions for a settlement of the great steel
strike were cpened hero today at a con
ference between President Shaffer and Sec
retary Williams of the Amalgamated asso
ciation and J. Plerpdnt Morgan and a gfoup
of his assistants of the United States Steel
corporation.
The conference and the movements of the
conferees wer secret and no Intimation of
the result of the deliberations has como
from anyont. In authority. It Is believed,
however, that substantial progress toward
an agreement was made and that formal
announcement of the compact for peace
will como within a few days.
There has been much speculation as to
the terms of peace, but much of It has
been pure conjecture. It was said that the
strike would bo called off and that there
would be n resumption of tho negotiations
on general labor quebtlons at the point
where they were broken off at the Pitts
burg conference. In financial ctrcleE, how
ever, tho opinion was general that the
prospective agreement would go further
than that and In Itself dispose of the se
rious questions at issue.
The conference of today resulted from
several days of preliminary discussion, all
of which was kept secret. A representa
tive of the Amalgamated association was
here on Friday and was given a lengthy in
terview by an official of one of the com
panies forming the United States Steel
corporation. The conference of today Is
believed to have been practically arranged
at that time. Shaffer and Williams slipped
quietly out of Pittsburg and were in New
York several hours before a hint of their
presence reached the public Mr. Morgan
and President Schwab of the United
States Steel corporation met first at the
office ot the former and were closeted for
some time. The meeting with tho labor
leaders followed. The names of those who
participated in the meeting, aside from the
leaders on either aide, and the place at
which the conference met, were kept from
the public. Mr. Morgan was seen after the
meeting, hut would say nothing beyond
denying that he had any appointment with
President Shaffer of the Amalgamated as
sociation. President Schwab of the United
States Steel corporation was also seen, but
ho declined to make any statement what
ever. NO GENERAL STRIKE ORDERED

SAN FRANCISCO, July 27. Tho San
Francisco Labor council has decided not to
order a general striko at present, but has
given lta executive committee power to
take such action against the employers'
association as may be deemed advisable.
The employes of the various beer bottling
establishments have been notified that If
they will not abandon their unions they
cannot return to work today. Other em
ploying firms are expected to present the
same ultimatum, as it 1b reported the em
ployers' association has decided to make a
stand against unionism by presenting tho
Issue with the alternative of no work.
The police expect trouble with the strik
ing laborers when the trucks and teams
attempt to leave the barns today. At 2:30
o. m. a large number of patrolmen were
called off their beats and sent to the barns
as a precautionary measure
While the Iron Trades council claims to
havo no official knowiedgo of what may
result from today's conference of employes
of the Union Iron works with President
Scott, leaders among tho machinists predict
that a satisfactory compromiso will be
made. The council, It 1b doclared, will
permit the machinists from each shop to
settle the terms on which work will bo
resumed. It Is also said on good authority
that, while tho ten-hour day will be re
tained, the men will receive increased com
pensation.
Motkoii nnd ScIiitiiIi Confer.
NEW YORK. July 27. President Schwab
of the United States Steel corporation paid
an early visit to J. P. Morgan & Co.'s
office this morning, when he had a talk with
Mr. Morgan, who had come to town despite
reports that he would not be at his office
today. Neither Mr. Schwab nor Mr. Mor
gan would say anything about the steel
strike.
A news bureau quoted an official of one
of the constituent companies of the United
plates Steel corporation today: "Unless
something ot an unexpected nature comes
up, It Is reasonable to expect that the
difference between the mill owners nnd
the strikers will be adjusted within ten
days."

nde n Ilrltlue,
Omaha was swept by a midsummer rain
last night.
It was not the biggest rain Omaha has
experienced this year, but It waa doubtless
tbe most welcome.
Nobody was a stickler for an umbrella.
The rain started about 7:-l& o'clock.
There may bo somo dispute o to whether
It was the prayers of Nebraska ministers
or the climatic conditions which Hicks pre
dicted that brought rain to Omaha last
night, but there can be no difference of
opinion us to the beneficial effects of tho
generous bathing nature gave the parched
earth.
During the cntlro afternoon yesterday
heavy elouds were gathering In the north
west. The humidity of the atmosphero was
excessive and conditions were favorable for
rain Shortly before S o'clock Omaha had
the first old-fashioned rain shower It has
enjoyed for more than three weeks.
Thunder and lightning accompanied the
downpour end under the cooling influence
of the storm the temperature foil at a
rapid rate. Men, women and children ca
pered through the streets and shouted with
Joy at the breaking up of the drouth.
For more than half nn hour water fell
and little rivers, which drove away all
thought of drouth, ran through the streets.
The amount of water which fell was esti
mated at one-third of nn Inch.
The rnln that fell In Omaha was light
as compared with the rains reported from
various parts of Nebraska. Between Omaha
and Tekamah it rained hard for moro than
two hours and a halt. All the territory be
tween Omaha and Sioux City was thor
oughly soaked.
At Fremont the rain was little less Ihnc
a waterspout. There was a continual down
pour for more than two hours. The sur
rounding country wa thoroughly drenched
and streams were filled to overflowing.
Reports from the western and northwest
ern portions ot ths stato show that rainfall
was quite general yesterday.
The rain came at the close of a. day ot
clcse heat, for what wsfc lacking In the
high temperature there being a slight fall
over previous days was offset by the denso
humidity.
