German Manufacturers Generally Are
Opposed to 3. Tariff war.
THE GOVERN MEN T’S SCHEME
An Attempt Will Be Made to Pass Laws
Which Will Prevent Absolutely the
Importation of All American
Meats androod Preserves.
Berlin, Sept. 20.——The first batch of
replies to a. circular of query as to the
effects of the new United States tariff
law, circulated by the Frankfurter Zei-
tung, has been printed. The general
tenor of the answers sent in shows that
manufacturers generally expect to be
able to stand the new tariff without
such alleged aid as the Agrarians pro-
Dose in the shape of a tariff war with
the United States and higher prices for
cereals. The replies, however, show that
some branches of German industry have
been hit more or less hard, and a num-
ber of manufacturers, notably the
Chemnitz hosiers, are cbntemplating
starting factories in the UnitedStates
in the conviction that the new tariff
will last for a number of years.
In the meanwhile the agitation of the
entire Agrarian and conservative press
in favor of a regular tariff war with
the United States is more vigoroufi’ than
ever. The Deutsche Zeitung, the lead-
ing organ of the Agrarians, in an arti-
cle inspired by high government offi-
cials, says: '
“In spite of the desire to retaliate
against the UnitedStates, the hands of
the government are unfortunately tied
to a large extent. As experience has
clearly demonstrated, Germany cannot
do without main American staples, such
as cotton and petroleum ’d, to a
smaller degree, cereals. But, in answer
to the chicanery with which German
sugar is being treated by the United
States, the German government will
henceforth treat American meats and
other preserves with Similar stringency.
ans will be passed making meat in-
‘pection much more rigid, and these
laws will be extended to every kind of
food preserves.”
To Exclude All Our Meats.
Your correspondent here has secured
full corroboration of the above views.
In official circles it is not concealed that
the aim is to frame laws to absolutely
exclude in future all American meats
and preserves on the plea that the sani-
tary inspection in America is not relia-
ble and not stringent enough. Even
this, however, fails to satisfy the Agra-
rians, who have renewed their demand
that American cereals be excluded from
Germany.
As a striking commentary upon the
plans to exclude American meat the
fact may be noted that pork in Ger—
many during the last fortnight has
reached a price unequaled in many
years, that of 25 to 40 cents per pound
at retail and 18 cents per pound at
wholesale. This is due to the exclusion
of Russian pork in the Silesian frontier
districts, where pork is not obtainable.
As a result of the canvass made by
the Cologne Gazette among the import-
ing and exporting firms. in the Cologne
district a memorial has been sent to the
imperial chancellor, Prince Hohenlohe,
setting forth that most of the export-
ers and all of the importers of that dis-
trict are opposed to a tariff war with
the United States.
. The struggle between'the Slavs and
Germans in Austria over the new lan—
guage ordinances has aroused intense
feeling in Germany. Many of the
newspapers of this country are vigor-
ously condemning the Badeni cabinet,
but the official and semioflicia] newspa-
pers of Germany are discrediting such
utterances, which are very inopportune
at the moment when Emperor William
is a guest of Emperor Francis Joseph.
All movements organized in aid of the
associations and other similar meas~
ures to encourage the Germans in Aus-
tria in their fight are also severely snub-
bed by the Prussian and other German
governments and the projeéted visit to
Bohemia of the Leipsic university stu-
dents en masse has been forbidden by
the Saxon government. Nevertheless,
there is a strong feeling in Germany
on the subject.
. The New Ironclad.
At the launching of the new: German
ironclad Kaiser Wilhelm der Zweite at
Wilhelmshaven on Tuesday last Prince
Henry of Prussia emphasized in his
conversation with the naval officers
present that all understandings be-
tween Emperor William and himself
have been arranged. .
The Kaiser Wilhelm der Zweite is the
first really large German ironclad. She
is wholly equipped with quick firing
guns, her main armament consisting of
18 15-centimeter guns, with a score of
guns of smaller caliber and a number
of machine guns, The 15-centimeter
guns are described as having marvelous
penetrating power. The warship will
be completed in 1899 at a cost of 20,000,-
000 marks.
The weather in Germany has sudden-
ly become very cool. There has been
an abundance of rain, and there is snow
on the mountains. On the Schnee-
koppe, in Silesia, there are six inches
of snow. ,
At Cassel a laborer named Johannes
Muster has been convicted of uttering
five different so called treasonable re-
marks. Although they were all uttered
years ago, Muster was sentenced to six
years’ imprisonment. '
Particulars regarding the incarcera~
tion' of Prince Henry XVI of Reussin _
.an asylum for the insane in this city
~' show that the prince was secluded un-
der the name of Count von Plauen. His
affairs have been placed under the com
trol of a court owing to alleged scan.
dalous financial transactions connected
with a Hungarian estate bought by the '
prince at Petris and upon Which he,
gave as commission checks for 136,000
florins which the banks requed to cash,
as the prince is not good for that
amount. In order to avoid a scandal a
banking company offered to pay the
amounts due, speculating that Emperor '
William would recoup the company.
One of the princ’e’s agents“ a _man
named Mack, obtained letter-2mm the
prince which are said to c promise
high personages of Emperor William’s
court. These letters, it appears, have
been sent abroad and will probably form
the basis of a court scandal in the near
future. - '
POUND BOTH DEAD.
A Daughter’s'florrjble Discovery Involv- '
ing Her lIIother and a Boarder. ‘
Elmira, N. Y., Sept. 20.—A double
tragedy, a murder and suicide, shocked
this city last evening. Miss Mamie
Burnham, on returning home after be-
ing absent all day, found her mother,
Mrs. Mary Burnham, and a boarder-
named Kenyon Gaylord both dead in
the latter’s bedroom. The daughter
gave the alarm to the neighbors, and
they witnessed a horrible sight.
Both had been shot through the head,
and they had evidently been dead for
several hours. The woman was clasped
in the man’s arms and his left arm be-
ing about her neck and his right lying
across her body. Close by his right
hand, where it had dropped from the
nervelessfingers, was the revolver with
which the shooting had been done.
There were no evidences of a struggle,
and it looked as if they had layed down
to die together.
Thewvoman was shot in the left side
of the head, directly in front of the left
ear. The wound was grimmed with
powder smoke, showing that the weapon
had been held directly against her head.
It looked as if she had turned and
buried her head on his shoulder, while
he reached across his body with his left
hand and fired the shot which killed her.
She must have died instantly. Then ,ap-
parently Gaylord placed the revolver
against the right Side of the head and
fired a shot into his own brain. He’ evi—
dently also died instantly.
The crime was probably committed
about 8:30 in the morning and the bod-
ies had lain during the day. Both the
dead people were fully dressed, and they
had evidently eaten breakfast before ly-
ing down to die.

Luetgert Still Nervy.
Chicago, Sept. 20.—VVhen asked for his
opinion of the case made out against
him, Luetgert exclaimed: “There is
nothing in it. Take away the quarrel
of the expexts over the bones and what
have you got left? Nothing. They have
not proven that the woman is dead, and
they cannot prove it. I have some
trump cards, and I will play them in
court when the time comes. I will tes-
tify, and I will tell that jury something
that will open the eyes of every mem-
ber of the panel.”

years ago. About two years ago I had a severe
attack of rheumatism, was confined to my
room for twelve weeks, and during that time
was induced to try P. P. P., Lippman’s Great
Remedy, knowing that each ingredient was .
good for impurities of the blood. After use-
mg two small bottles I was relieved. At four
different times since I have had slight attacks
and each time I have taken two small bottles
of P. P. P., and have been-relieved. and I con-
sxder P. P. P. the best medicine of its kind.
Respectfully, J. F. GREER.

says he bought a bottle of P. P. P: at

more good than three months’ treat-
