NAVAL BILL UNPOPULAR.

Kaiser Hesitates in His Attempt to Force Its Passage.

BERLIN, Oct. 3.—The outcry against the new naval bill, which contemplates an appropriation of 410,000,000 marks, to be distributed over seven years, and the construction of a score of vessels, of which ten are to be large ships, appears to have caused the government to pause. Prince Hohenlohe, the chancellor, reported to Berlin last night, and on Wednesday next with Admiral von Tirpitz, imperial secretary of the navy, will consult with Emperor William on the naval programme. The National Zeitung, in a paragraph evidently inspired, announces that the details of the programme have not yet been settled, but will be the subject of deliberation at the meeting of the bundesrat next Thursday, as the admiral has no idea of trying to curtail the budget rights of the diet. The imperial statistical office has issued trade statistics showing that the value of German exports to the United States in 1893 was 354,000,000 marks; in 1894, 271,000,000 marks; and in 1896, 384,000 marks.
