The Junta Believed to be Following in the Footsteps Made by Secretary Blaine in the Italian Affair—The Navy Yard Forces Hard at Work Fitting Cut the Warships. Washington, Oet. 29.—There was a flutter of excitement In official circles here this morning over the Santiago press cable gram announcing the receipt of an unsatis factory response from the junta to the rep resentatives of the United States, and say ing that the Baltimore’s crew were practi cally boyootted at Valparaiso. Naval officials discredit the latter statement and believe its foundation lies in the prudent course adopted by Commander Sohley re specting the guaranteeing of liberty to his sailors during the present condition of ex citement. No word has been received at the navy department from Commander Schley reporting any now phase in the situ- Btion. At the department of state a cipher cablegram from Minister Egan was received this morning. The cablegram was translated aad laid before the President about noon. Secreta ries Blaine and Tracy wore immediately summoned and there was a long confer ence. TENOR OF THE MESSAGE. At 0 o’clock the following official state ment of the contents of Minister Egan’s dis patch was made public: “The atate de partment received this morning a cablegram from Minister Egon, dated Santiago, Oct. 28, in which he gives the following, os the repiy of the Chilean government to the President’s telegram of Oot. 23, asking reparation for the recent murder of Ameri can sailors in the streets of Valparaiso. The minister of foreign affairs replies that the government of the United States formulates demands and advances threats that without being cast back with acrimony are not acceptable, nor could they be accepted in the present case or in any other of like nature. He does not doubt the sincerity, rectitude or expertness of the investigation on board the Baltimore, but will recognize only the jurisdiction ami authority of his country to judge aud punish the guilty in Chilean territory. He say? the administration and judicial authorities have been investigating the affair. Judicial investigation under the Chilean law is secret and the time is not yet arrived to make known the rosult. When that time does arrive he will communicate the result, although he does not recognize any other authority competent to judge of criminal cases than that established by the Chilean people. Until the time arrives to disclose the result of the investigation he cannot admit that the disorders in Valpa raiso or the silence of his department should appear as an expression of unfriendliness toward the government of tho United States, which might put in peril the .friendly re lations between the two.' countries.” .Vo reply lias boon made to t|jis dispatch yet What will be its nature is altogether conjecture. The most plausible theory ad van ed is that the suggestions eonrteously and diplomatically conveyed in Acting Bed retary Wharton's dispatch that this gov ernment had no doubt an investigation would be made and reparation afforded will now bo renowod in the shape of a stern mid formal demand for some immediate assurance of proper action on the part of the junta, and that if these be not forthcoming, Minister Egan will take passage on the Baltimore for the United States, thus severing diplomatic relations between the two countries. RUDINI CHILE’S EXAMPLE. The administration thinks that the Chilean junta has a copy of Kndini’s book and is following in the present incident the coarsj taken by Secretary Blaine in tho oeiv Orleans affair. As President Harrison and Secrttarv Blaine point out the two episodes diffor essentially, but there is just enough re emblarco to give color to the Chilean claim that they are similar. At all events, the Chilean junta takes the view that they are similar, and it is under stood that . no of the phrases used by tho minister off reien affairs, and repeated in the cablegram received to-day from Minister hgan, was almost, word for word, the same as one of Secretary Blaine’s most striking retorts to Premier Rudini. Natur ally this aggravates the administration. It was not strange that under this imitation the President and Secretary Blaine should have referred this afternoon to the message of the minister of foreign affairs as of fensively insulting, and should have inti mated br adly that its logical sequence w as the withdrawal of Minister Egan and the suspension of diplomatic relations with Chile. CHILE TO BE GIVEN ANOTHER CHANCE. So far as could'be learned from the few members of the administration in tho Presi dent s confidence in this matter, ail of whom refuse absolutely to'talk for publication, the administration will wait before breaking off diplomatic) relations to hear what the Chilean junta says or doss next. There is no apprenension of war on the part of the administration, serious as the situation is averred to bo. Nevertheless the propara | . of . shl P s to t? oto Chile is Inti-vT a hastened.

The Chronicle thinks the affair is hardly a matter for war or even the mobilizing of the United States navy. It says that Chile will doubtless find it more prudent to apologize, punish the assailants of the American sailors and pay a compensation rather than to risk her ironclads in an en counter with the United States. The Post, after remarking that the naval inferiority of the United States will make it difficult for her to coerce Chile, expresses a hope that both parties will modify their attitude before proceeding to hostilities. The Post then enters into an elaborate argument, quoting from authorities on international law and giving practical instances, to prove the in validity of Minister Egan’s view on the ex territoriality of t'.e United States legation and concludes: “The whole question is so important that the action of the United States will be awaited with interest every where, a id not without anxiety at the pros pect of a confusing revolution of inter national customs.” LOOKED UPON AS BUNCOMBE. The Times, referring to the Chilean af fair, regards the American deliverances as tall talk, intended to influence the coming elections, aud says that after Tues day a settlement will proba bly be found satisfactory to both parties. The Times continues: “The prec edent of the British claim on Brazil affords no parallel to Secretary Blaine’s peremptory action. The orders given to the American navy yards do not necessarily prelude war. The perception of the danger of multiply ing tho chances of a collision at Valparaiso during the existing heated state of affairs there probably ex plains the fact, which has been miscon construed as a practical boycott on the war ship Baltimore. Secretary Blame’s aims to form a zollverein with South America are not likely to be promoted by threats, still less by an actual declaration of war.” chile’s navy no match for ours. New York, Oot. 2it. —Capt. Erben of the navy yard in Brooklyn has made this statement: “It is the opinion here at the yard that the trouble between our govern; inent and Chile w ill not go so far as to neces sitate the sending to Valparaiso of some of the cruisers. Nothing official relative to the course of the government has been re ceived here. In case it suould become nec essary to send a part of tho navy to South America not more than four ships would be needed to carry on our operations egainst Chile and its navy. There are not more than three or four warships in its navy which could offer resistance to our ourisers. At no time recently has our navy beau iu a position to place so many of its best war ships at the front in so short a time.” GEN. WICKHAM IN B-.ONZS.

Railroads Find It Hard to Get Enough Water to Run Trains. Montgomery, Ala., Oct. 89.— The pres ent spell of dry weather is one of the longest ever experienced in this section. Streams and springs in all sections of tho country are drying up, and railroads are finding it very troublesome to secure the water necessary to run their trams. The Louisville and Nashville, whioh is doing an immense business that necessitates several extra freight trains every day, is compelled to send out on each train a tank car with a large tank filled with water, because many streams down the road, wbici have formerly supplied water, are now dry. TLe employes along the hue are suppikoi with water frimlhis city. Every passeiger tram cart is her rels with Montgomery water, which is dis tributed at point* whore the waur supply is exhausted.

The Vessel Twelve Miles Helow Vicks burg at the Time aud Tied Up For the Night—Colored Deckhands Who Had Been Discharged Suspected of Firing the Cotton. Sr. Louis, Mo., Oct. 29. —Private dis patches just received here say that the steamer Oliver Bierne, used here as au ex cursion boat during the summer aud as a cotton carrier in the lower Mississippi in the fall and winter, was burned at Milliken’s Bend, twelve miles from Vicksburg, this morning. Twelve lives are reported lost. The fire was discovered in the cotton in the bold early this morning ar.d the flames spread so rapidly that many of the crew and passengers had very narrow escapes. Tho dead are a daughter of J. D. Adams of Omaha, Mrs. Frazer’s nurse, five cabin boys and two colored chambermaids. A number of rou .ters are also missing. The Bierue left here about a week ago and curried 708 bales of cotton and 100 tons of other freight. She was one of the finest and largest boats on the river. A TOTAL LOSS. New Orleans, La., Oot. 29. The Pica ;/unr’s Milliken’s Bend specials, via Tallulah, say the boat and cargo ere a total loss. Bho had about eighty deck and about twenty catiiu passengers. It is difficult to ascertain the loss of life, several reports differing as to the exact number. The following are known to have been among those who per ished: Mas. Waddell, an eiuerlv lady of New Orleans. Sam Entrickkn, a son of the cook. Two daughters of Dr. Worreil of Baton Rouge. The chambermaid and a daughter of Mrs. Adams of Omaha. The barbeb, - eoond cook aud pantry man, five cabin boys and two white levee laborers. NARROW ESCAPES. The passengers and crew lost everything they had in the way of clothing and bag gage, many leaving the burning boat m their night clothes and bare feet. There were quite n number of narrow escapes. Capt. Thorwegan was the last to leave the boat, having to slide down a guy rod from the upper deck. Pilot Massle made bia escape by passing through the tlames to the stern of the boat and jumping into the river. He was severe ly burned. The mate displayed his bravery bv letting himself down by a rope holding a little child by the clothing. The bodies of the pantryman and baker and chambermaid have been recovered. The crew and passengers all left for Vicksburg by the steamer Sheffield this evening, with the exception of Mrs. Frazier and child, Mrs. Dr. Worrell aud E. M. Howell, whose injuries are too severe to permit their traveling just yet. HAD TIED UP FOR THE NIGHT. The boat had landed at Rose Hill and Milliken’s lauding to take 209 bales of cot ton for A. 8. Ooltbarp tic Cos. of this place, and after landing loaded this cotton, dropped down 200 yards aud tied up for tho night. The fire broke oat after nearly every one had retired and spread with such rapidity that the engineer was unable to turn on the hose. The Ashley company had about 500 bales of ootton on the landing only a short distance above which narrowly escaped burning from the falling cinders. ROUSTERS SUSPECTED OF INCENDIARISM. The speoial says that at Greenville the mate had some trouble with the rousters, many of them quitting work, after which the mate hired levee men, paying them 25 cents per hour. This enraged tho negroes, who made open threats against the mate and the boat. At 3:30 o’clock in the morn ing the cotton in the deck room was dis covered on fire, and the boat was a mass of flames in a short time. Every effort wis made to save the lives of those on board, but it is feared that the death list will reach twenty or more. The yawl was lowered to pick up those who could be reached. It was about the only hope of saving many who were compelled to jump into the river. A BRIDAL TOUR IN A BALLOON. The Airship Last Sean Going Toward the Mountains o£ North Alabama. Birmingham, Aha., Oct. 29. At mid night great anxiety is felt in Birmingham over the fate of a young couple who were married at the state fair grounds early this afternoon and went on a bridal tour in a balloon. The party in the basket consisted of Aeronaut Baldwin, H. 8. Hutchin son, the young groom and the bride, who was Miss Minnie Oonnseu. The balloon shot up like a rocket to a great bight and then slowly drifted almost dua north. It was last Been high up in the air, passing over Newcastle, thirteen miles north of Birmingham, on the Louisville and Nashville railroad. The balloon was going steddily toward the re mote mountain regions of North Alabama and directly awuy from the railroad and telegraph linos. COUNCIL OF THE CHOCTAWS. An Attempt to be Made to Get Money for the Leased District. Stv Louis, Oct, 29. —A special from Pqris to-day pays: “The Choctaw council ad journed to-day until Nov. 30. This was done at the suggestion of Chief Jones in order that delegates may go to Washington and see wbat can be done in regard to getting money for the leased district, which was sold at the last session of the council. A good deal depends in a political wav on the present administration getting money. If it fails it will bo used by the Hwallwood, or natio ial party, as material in the next campaign. It is not believed that the dele gatee will get money.” Charleston’s Tournament. Charleston, 8. C., Oct. 29.—At the Gala week tourncraant to-day, there were twelve entries. The first prize.

Washington, Oct. 29.— Jerry Simpson’s boast that from twenty to fifty alliatioemen would keep out of the republoan and demo cratic caucuses and flock together in the organization of the House, supporting a speaker candidate of their own, his personal choice being Col. Livingston of Georgia, was quickly punctured to-day by an in spection of the un fficial list of metnbers elect just prepared by CLrk McPherson, in which the aliiaucemeo count up just 8, as against 237 democrats aud 87 repub licans. Five of tho alliauceinen are from Kansas, including Jerry (Simpson, who ap pears officially, however, as Jeremiah Simu son. Two, Messrs. McKeighan and Kern, are from Nebraska, and one. Mr. Halvevsen, is from Minnesota. Clerk McPherson has had personal communicati n with every alliance man elected to the box! House, and there is, therefore, authority for stating that with the eight excep tions noted every one will go into either the republican or the democratic cau cus, including,of course, Mr. Simpson’s can didate Col.Livingstou,and.every other Geor gia allianceman. Five democrats and three republicans must betaken from the nominal democratic and republican totals for deaths and resignations—Messrs. Ford of Miohigau, Spinola of York, Lee of Virginia, democrats; and Mr. Gamble of South Dakota and Mr. Houk of Tennessee, repub licans, having died since their certificates were received, and Messrs. Flowerfand Boody, democrats, and Mr. Russell, repub lican , of New York, having resigned to run for a state office. POLK SHOWS HIS HAND. He Don’t Want Ailtanceinen; to Stick to Their Party. Norfolk, Va., Oct. 29. Col. L. L. Polk, president of the farmers alliance, in speak ing at Elizabeth City to- day said in part. 1 have known farmers' to leave their crops knee high in the grass to go to tho court house and for hours sit in a hot room to hear a pot house politician speak and tell them to stick to their party. They stick and the dance of death goes on After election day the sticker said: “All Is darkness down here, what of tho night!" and the answer conies: “All is well.plow on.” They talk about politics, the alliance is ns full of politics as an egg is full of meat. Yes, sir, we are Into politics, and in there to stay. They talk about party. What is a party r It is a nice little collar with a chain. 1 don't care who is nominated, I will vote as I please.

The people have ri>en in their might anil assert that they have a l ight to help rule this country, and they are going to do it. President Polk then advocated the sub treasury bill and when he called for pledges to support it nearly every hand went up. He Eaid eighteeu states were pledged to his scheme. WOODRUFF OF TRIAL. The Defense to Depend on the Prison er’s Past Standing. Little Rock, Ark., Oot. 29. —A large crowd was present, at the opening of the Woodruff trial this morning.

A Series of Bloody scrimmaged In the Streets Between Processions or Mc- Carthyite and Parnellttes—Each Side Suffers a Defeat and Returns to the Fray With Reinforcements. Cork, Oot. 29. —John Dillon is now hors dr combat. He was pursued and attacked last night while driving to an anti-Parnoll ite meeting, pelted with stones and during the fracas received a severe blow on the knee with a stick. On account of the swell ing his physioian has ordered him to keep quiet. The fighting which took place between the McCarthyites and Parnellitee last night in the streets of this city was more serious than appeared from the first reports re ceived at police headquarters. There was a sories of severe scrimmages between the contending parties, the most severe being one in which Mr. Dillon was disabled. Crowds of McCarthyites were upon that occasion accompanying Mos-rs. Dillon aud O’Brien, who were on their way to attend a McCarthyite meeting in the market place. TWO PROCESSIONS MEET. The McCarthyites came into collision with a torchlight procession of Parnelhtes. The latter was headed by a brass band uud was composed of some of John E. Red mond’s most enthusiastic supporters. Neither crowd would give way to the other, and so a hot and general melee followed, several thousand ooinbatants taking part in the fray. Black thorns were used by both parties and bricks and stones flying through the air added to the ardor of the rival factions and considerably In creased the exoitemont of the moment. Finally the McCarthyites succeeded in wrenching the torches from the hands of the PariieTlites, quenched them by stamp ing upon them, with yells of delight, and after completing the rout of their enemies, tho victorious McCarthyites continued their triumphant march In a state of enthusiasm to where Mr. O’Brien addressed 6,000 Mc- Cartbyitss. WOMEN IN A FRENZY. To such a degree was the enthusiasm of the multitude aroused by Mr. O’Brien’s words that many of the women who plenti fully besDrinkled the throng of burly Cork onians were worked up to such a Ditch of excitement that they climbed upon the jaunting car from which Mr. O’Brien was delivering his impassioned address and tried most energetically to em brace the speaker. In the meanwhile the routed Parnellites had found reinforce ments. They then made another onslaught upon the McCarthyites. The attack of tho Parneliites was well planned, well led and carried out with an abundance of pluok and dash. CHARGED INTO THE SQUARE. They charged into the square with a vim and go. slashing right and left with their black thorns and splitting many MoCarty ite heads as they tried to force their way to the car upon which stood Mr. O’Brien and bis supporters, gazing with commendable calmness upon the battling mass of humanity. The MoCarthy ites fought desperately, but were slowly driven back and with howls of triumph the Farnelliteg overturned the blazing tar barrels which illuminated the place, and kicked and rolled them, smoking and flaring, into the river. T hen for a time the I’arnellites with exultant cheers held tho market place. m’carthvites return to the fray. Following the example of the Parnellites, the McC'arthvites also sought for and found strong reinforcements, and, thus strength ened, they again mustered in a com paot body, and with thundering shouts they made a dash at the Parnellites in the market placo. Then the music of dashing black thorns once more filled the air. It was give and take on both sides, with no question of quarter or hope of mercy. After a most desperate battle the Parnellite force was routed. Many of both sides were injured. The Parnellites had to relinquish their pos session of the market place and were driven belter skelter, once the rotient commenced, down the neighboring streets. fighting at bandon. Similar scenes on a more modest scale occurred at Bandon, twenty miles from Cork. The most serious trouble occurrod in front of the butter exchange. While a procession of MoCarlhyites was passing the exchange the occupants of the building jeered at the processionists and hurled tantalizing and insulting remarks and suggestions in their direction. This roused the ire of the McCartbyltes to such an extent that the procession was halted by common consent, and the man who compose it made a desperate attack upon the exchange. They burst in the doors in spite of a shower of missies thrown at them from the windows and completely wrecked the board room. STILL IN A FIGHTING MOOD. •To-day Cork is full of echoes of the elec tion frights of lost night. The angry pas sions aroused have not by any means calmed down. As an example of the feel iug prevailing it is noted that a boy who was cheering for Mr. Redmond,the Parnell ste candidate, was struck in the face with a stick handled by a priest with suen terrific force that one of his eyes was destroyed Mr. Redmond, in a speech to-day, said he regretted the attack made last night on Mr. D.llon. Mr. Redmond denied the truth of Mr. O’Brien's statement, that be (Red mond) had broken the Boulogne pledges. It was not he, but Mr. Parnell, who pro posed that Mr. (I’Brien be made temporary leaiier of the Irish party. Eight detectives accompanied Messrs. Dillon and O’Brien throughout the day. Mr. Dillon declared this evening that his opponents placed a party of roughs behind a wall and instructed them to attack him yesterday while on his way home. a nf.w instrument. At a Parnellite meeting held this evening Mr. O’Connor produced an instrument winch tie described as an assegei, and said he had wrested it from the bauds of a McCai thyite. Mr. O’Connor indignantly declared that he said he would never speak to Mr. O’Brien again, for when he interfered to preserve the peace at the afternoon meeting Mr. O'Brieu had sae audacity to say "Come with me, John, aud I will prolect you."

VON PILSAOH RESIGNS. He Was Trying to Install Himself as Dictator of Samoa. Apia, Samoa, Oct. 15. —Baron Hen ft von Pilsacb, president of tho municipal council and advisor to King Malietoa, has resigned. Tho reason he as ignt is that certain white residents of Samoa have teen writing let ters to the king about German currency and other matters, ana that tho king wrote direct to them in reuly. Pilsach claimed that uo one should either write or speak to King Malietoa before first securing the president’s permission, iherebv actually assuming the position of dictator of the islands. Before he resigned a me morial of tho three powers had already been prepared by the consuls of the three treaty powers and will be forwarded. The memorial petitions the three govern ments for the recall of B iron Pilsach on ac— couut of inexperience and reckless behavior in office. It is also signet! by Robert Louis Stevenson aud by nearly all the residents of Apia, with the exception of some of tho Germans. It is contended tha* ha is incapable of fill ing the position, aud it is further coutended that the position Rhould not be Ailed at all and that the taxbayers should bo allowed to elect a mayor and allow him a small sal ary for expeuses. The papers are full of discussions as to the expomes of the government, and it was shown in one communication that whie the total revenue collected was but $20,000, the expenditures to Oct. 1 amounted to over $22,900 for salarios for officials utidor tho Berlin treaty, with many Items for which uo provision had been made. MATAAFA PROCLAIMED A REBEL. Mataafa has at last been proclaimed a rehel, and all the chiefs who are supporting him have had their lands couil cated and everybody is forbidden to assist them in any way. Tho American consul has been instructed by his government to inform Mataafa that the g ivernmeut was annoyed at the latter's attitude, uud that he should at onoe break up the party at Maiie. There are only about 300 in the party, but it is stated that fully half of tho population are against tho Mtiliimu government, chiefly because of its inaction. The United States government has per fected its title to important and ootnmaud ing points at Pago, and tbu coaling station is regarded as one of the strongest positions in the South Pacific. The matter was adjusted before Consul Ueneral Sewell left hsre for the United States. a mail steamfr wricked. The Moselle Striked a Rock Near Colon—No Lives Lost. BIP an am a, Oct. 29.—Four of the lifeboats of the Royal Mail steamer Moselle arrived at Colon this morning, bringing to that port the passengers and a portion of the officers and orew of the Moselle, which it was subsequently learned had been wrecked two miles to the west ward of Point Truro, near Colon. The ship wrecked men report that the Moselle left Port Limon yesterday evening aud while proceeding on her voyage struck a rock about 4 o’clock this morning, 100 yards from shore. Three boats manned by the officers and men of the Moselle put off from tho steamer for the purpose of obtaining assistance, hut no aid could be obtained from the shore, owing to a very heavy surf which prevailed at the time.

LA FOLLETT® ACCUSES HIM 09 OFFERING A BRIBE. The Failure to Collect Interest From Ex-State Treasurer Harshaw at the Bottom of the Trouble—The Senator Claims That the Charge \s Baaed on a Misconception of His Meaning Milwaukee, Wir., Oct. 29.— Judge Sie bccker, a few days ago, astonished the com munity by suddenly refusing to try tiie ? tit to suit to recover interest from ex-State Treasurer Harshaw. The matter baa as sumed a highly important political phase by a public card from ex-Coogresunaa LaKolleite this morning, in which he fo cuses United States Senator Sawyer of attempted bribery. Mr. Sawyer had on Tuesday made a statement about the matter, in which he claimed to have merely proffered a retainer in the case to ex-Congressmau LaFollette, ami also requested the latter to sound Judge Siebecker to ascer aiu whether he wav prejudiced against Harslmw. According to Senator Sawyer’s story Mr. LaFollette re fused the retainer on tho ground that it would be improper for him to be interested in the suit, as Judge Siebecker is hit broth er-in-law. LA FOLLETTE’S VERSION. In his communication to-day Mr. I.aFol* lette characterizes the account of the inter view between himself and Senator Sawyer, as given by the latter, as “false aud not a true statement of what transpired.’’ He says he met senator Sawyer at the Piaukiu* ton bouse in this city, Sept. 17, in response to an urgent letter' from thesenator.that the latter immediately began to question him in regard to Judge Siebecker’s feelings toward the defoudano in the cose (Harshaw), and that he (La* Kollettel assured Senator Sawyer that the, judge was a lair minded man, who would not let the fact that Harshaw had opposed his appointment bias his judgment. A SUSPICIOUS OFFER. Then, according to LaFollette, Senator Sawyer said: "These cases are awful im portant to ns in the state and we cannot afford to loso them. It costs me lota of anxiety. I don’t won’t to have to pay— (naming SIOO,OOO, or more, Mr. LaFollette is not certaiD). Now I came down here tot see you alone. No one knows I am to meet you bore. I don’t wan’t to hire you as attorney in the case, Mr. LaKol lette, and don’t want you to go into court, but hero is SSO, I will give you SSOO more or SI,OOO (LaFollette is uncertain wiiioh) when Siebeoker decides tho case right.” LA FOLLETTE’B REPLY. Mr. I-aFollette says he immediately told Senator Sawyer thut if he had struck him in the face he would not insult him os he In ultud him then: that he (Sawyor) was en deavoring to get him to talk to the judge about the etc- e off the bench, and that he had not money enough to employ him as attorney after what had transpired. Mr. 1-aFoiletto says he gave toe whole matter careful consideration and ou tho ad vice of personal friends he called the atten tion of the court to the incident. The pub lication of Mr. LsFollette’s side of the story creates a profound sensation in political circles. The whole matter will undoubtedly beoome a question of veraoity between Sawyer and Mr. LaFollette. SAWYER MAKES A DENIAL. Senator Sawyer has prepared a statement in which he denies vigorously the salient points of ex-Congroesmau LaFollette* story of tho I’lankluton House interview. He says his offer to Mr. LaFollette was tit. the nature of a retainer, and that it wa made before he was aware that Judge Sio beoker was Mr. LaFollotte’s brother-in-law. He also sa>s he never offered Mr. LaFol lette to pay him when the judge decideS the case favorably. Senator Sawyer say* the interview with Mr. LaFollette waa of a friendly nature, and that the latter diet not use the language expressive of the in dignation reported by him. FRANCE AND OUR PORK.

Itoohe, minister! of commerce, read a number of report* showing that trichinosis did not exist Up Great Britain and Belgium, which coun tries were freely importing American pork.' The existence of this disease in Germany, therefore, be said, was due to native meats. All learned bodies. Minister Itoohe de-' dared, had agreed that American meat* w ere innocuous, and the admission of these meats into France would be the greatest), boon to the working people of the oountry. It was more needful to beware of German meats entering France duty free. Further more,in spite of the prohibition of American meats, they actually entered France by in-! direct means. Other members having spoken for and] against tbo bill the government demanded! its adoption on the ground that the demand, of the United States was legitimate aud that France ought to comply with it in the, interests of the trade of tie two countries.
