Berlin, Jan. 24. rhe repeal of
the prohibition against American
pork is regarded as near, as the
weight of the speaking in the re
sent debate was all on the side of
the change.
No prominent defender of the
prohibitory law in the Reichstag
ventured to deny that the repeal
would benefit the masses of the
people. United States Minister
Phelps said to-day that there
would not even have been a ma
jority of 27 against the motion if
the opposition had waited a little
lie had long known the govern
nient is ready to modify the re
strictions as soon as trie precau
tions taken by the American
authorities seemed sufficient to
insure the health of the German
oeoule.
The government is not afraid of
cooked American poik, but only of
the uncooked. It is now probable
at any rate, that the prohibition
against bam ana bacon will be
removed.

It swept horses, sleigh and occu

swollen stream, tossing them
lightly hither and thither among
the rocks and trees with the log

chance. The ladies and horses
were drowned. Louise was and
