Berlin, May 13.—Negoi.au~i.« for a
Commercial treaty between t4e United
States and Germany have now been tak-
en up in earnest «at this end of the line.
The T'nlted States Ambassauor Andrew
"White, expects that, despite the num-
ber -of formidable obstacles that must be
(overcome, such a treaty will be satisfac-
tory to both, nations, will crown the ef-
forts of fhe representatives of the two
governments. There Is every reason for
saying that the German government and
notably the foreign minister. Baron Von
BucKhv, will do its beat to overcome the
difficulties of the task of formulating
ftuoh a treaty. The foreign office Is hav-
ing the potent aid of JCmpe.ror William as

atives of all the German states In the

America The 'emperor made clear ine
fact that heviews such a treaty most
•favorably, In the course *jl recent ex-
pression* to Baron. Von Buelow. The
main difficulty Mr. White has encounter-

itable.
WHITE SHOW'S TI (KM.
The minister of the interior, Count Von
H'osadwjOskyWeiner, made a statement
to the same.effect in the Reichstag a
few weeks ago. A r. White this week pro-
duced strong counter evidence. taking
facts and figures from material sup
plied by the treasury department at
Washington showing that wuHe it was
true that American exi>octs to Germany
in 18i S eve re unusually large, far exceed-
ing In'bulk and value the German ex-
ports to"tho'T'nlted States, the fact was
largely due to temporary causes, while
•everything now showed a renewed larger
demand "for German manufactured g< ds
in the United Staley. Mr. White also
pointed out that while German exports
are largely manufactured goods, Ameri-
can exports are mainly petroleum, cot-
ton and o*..er mat rials not produced here,
or Insufficiently produced, as cereals, cop-
per, etc., whose value Is increasing hero
and which are subsequently* re-exported,
from the United States, while also fur-
nished proof, by official feelings o- the
first three months of 1838 and approxi-
mate figures for the current three montns.
but during the year, under the existing
tariff, there has been undeniably a large
Increase of German exports to America,
and that the total value of such exports
for the entire year of 1839 will exceed
1100,00.000. These facts and figures wlil
•con be suitably, orought to the atten-
tion of the press and dwelt upon by gov-
ernment speakers in the Reidhstag w.th-
ln a fortnight, thus ending the system-
atic misleading official public by the
mouthpieces of the Agrarian party.
With .the public thus set arlgm, It Is
hoped that fhe task of negotiating tne
treaty will become easier and that tne
majority in the rrtlchslag will not longer
antagonize the measure. It Is likewise
t.'iat this ratification of public opinion w«U
favorably 'influence the reici* tag in the
matter of the pending inspection meat
bill, the chances of Which at presont ap-
pear to be very slim, (largely owing to
the same systematic mis re presentation,
for whii'h the Agrarian papers are re-
sponsible.
The onslaughts' of all the Agrarian or-
gans upon American-meat this week have
been of the most violent and fiercest de-
scription. A number of cablegrams 'have
"been reprinted from certain papers, con-
eld erftblyf increasing the volume of these
attacks. The .ftreuz Zeltung reiterated
the statement that American meat in-
spectton'ta a farce. The Deutsche Fleis-
. ch<*r Sfelfung, the organ of the uutr^hers,

T^ie iDentsCh Tags Zeltung and the
AgTOJ-CSonrespondenz, leading Agrarian
sheets, call attention to the increase in
the Importation of meat, mostly Ameri-

(adding that the.se Imports quadrupled

Reading, Fa, May 13.—^he wreck which
occurred last night on the Philadelphia
and Reading railway at Exeter, six ml.es
south of here, was probably tho worst
that has ever occurred in this state.
Twenty-eight 6*ad and fifty Injured, some
that they may not recover, is
the awful result of the disaster.
Tho disaster Is still involved in mys-
tery* and officers of the road are investi-
gating in order to place the blame. The
men in the signal tower at Exeter claim
to have had tho signals properly c'ts
played. In a statement today. General
Superintendent L. A. Swlgard, of tho
Reading railway, said the prime cause
of th£ accident, was a block of freignt
ca-rs on the track which were taking a
siding at Brimsbaro and which com-
peted the express to stop at Exeter. It is
not known as yet whether a signal man
was sent back to notify the special or
second section.
Many prominent men were passengers
on the forward train, among them Sen-
ator Boise Penrose. Col. Henry D. Faxon,
Philadelphia: Gen. John W. Schall of Nor-
ristown and Co1!. George Schall, the gen-
eral's brother, who was killed.
On the second train were some twenty
veterans of llartranfts 51st regiment,
which he commanded In the civil war and
a company of the seventh Pennsylvania
infantry, national guard, a few of whom
were injured.
The Jury adjourned to assemble at the
call of the coroner. When asked when
he would hold the Inquest Coroner Roth-
emel replied that he thought mat it would
he Tuesday afternoon, but that he could
not state definitely. They left Reading
on a special train at 1 p. m. and viewed
the scene of tlje wreck.
Superintendent Wilson of the main line
division, when asked if ;t was not a mis-
take for the train to back to the station
replied:

left where it stood, but i cannot speak of
the course urifil the matter is .-*orough-

Athletic Contest Easily Won On
Every Point By the
Latter.
New Haven, Conn., May 13— Harvard
on a decided victory over Yale this
afternoon in the annual duel athlctic
games, and as a result comes into the
permanent possesion of tho lonqr fought
►r trophy cup, having won tho games
five times to Yale's three. Harvard won
day by superior form. Despite the
Javy track and the inclement weather
condition#^ the time 011 the whole was
good.
There were about 1,000 spectators bn
the bleechers when the games began.
Throughout the games showers made the
conditions disagreeable. Tho perform-
ances of Boardman, the young Yale fre-di-
niah, became remarkable when consider-
ed in the light of these conditions. In
the 220 yard fiat he came down the last
25 yards fully four yards behind Quinlan,
tho Harvard crack, but pulled away from
the bunch and finished six Inches to the
fore, winning what seemed to be a sure
ra^e for Harvard. In the 440 yard dash
he and Burko fought the entire last lap.
The crowd fairly Went wMd as the two

The jwettiest exhibition of pure sand
and nerve was the running high jump.
Yale was out'classed w.th tho exception
of Wller. The rough rider did not begin
to train for the games until about a week
ago and he had worked so hard that he
was .all but HI. However, he fought beau-
tifully, and when tho tie botw. on him-
self and three other jumpers, a. 1 Har-
vard men, was declared, he set to try-
ing for second place, Ferguson, 0110 of
the Harvard men. was not wl.. ng to
toss for it, so the Jumping proceeded and
for two trials, unsuccessfully in each
case both men jumped.
Waller fell twice and had to bo lifted
to his feet but Insisted on continuing un-
til his opponent, who alone remained,
agreed to toss up for second place with
the result that Waller won third place.
Ferguson com [demented the veteran on
his nerve and Harvard men checrcd
lustily. „

Dr. Mitchell says in diffi-
cult cases of Anemia, he adds
cod-liver oil half an hour
after each meal and he likes
to use it in an emulsion; that
he has watched with grow-

feeble, creature gathering
flesh, color and wholesome-
ness of mind and body from
this treatment.

M — Lord Boseberry's
London Liberal club on
May r , In the course of which he ex-
pr> -sed a wish f.>r the revival of the
liberal spirit, has proved an orator-
l- .<1 apple of discord ot the first order. It

William Vernon Harcourt hi a speech
I 1 fore the Devonshire club, which has

Sir Wlllnams sjwiech bore witness to the
bitterness of 'the duel fur the leader-
ship of the liberal party between himself
nl I/ord Roseberry and to the pemit up
personal fo iing of the s|>eaker against
Lord Roseberry who was responsible for
ids temporary effacement. In the course
f Sir William Vetrnon Harcourte
speech he dec 1 and that Lord Roseberrys
t« rds were 'tantamount to 'the advice,
Take a sponge and wipe out the glor-
ious Inheritance which Mr. Gladstone left
the party before -- s ashes are cold.'*

berry and talk to Harcourt very straight.

British Weekly says Harcourts ai-
aek w:is grossly unjust and slanderous
and only to be accounted for by a ran-

ness.
The mouthpieces of tho liberal party
Insist that Lord Roseberry, Inn•«urging
a return to the liberalism of 1886, did not
metm a change « f program, but a re-
turn to t'be party discipline and coh-
«-sl« n that existed In t'he halcyon days of
llbeV;|!«sm. s r ^Wlb'pim V^ntm Hnr-
court today aniM>ujnces that he will
speak <o his oontltuetits in May. His
utl^ira.nces arc awaited with the keen -
«-st interest and another speech Im his
ls*t lighting style is expected. Mean-

itosvberry as Harcourt does, and in some
quarters the opinion 'is expressed that
Kneetix-rrys uttej-ances are nothing less
'ban a direct bid for Joseph Chamber-
lain and a prelude to Roseberry Indeni-
fylng himself wSth the librrsi unionists.
The Sun says that I^^rd Rf>sebern's ab-
ondment and his acceptance of the lib-
eral unionist program might, in the event
of a conservative victory at the next
elections, possibly be m:irk«d by the offer
from comment on dbe latest rtinir af
