American Pork In Italy.
Washington, Oct. 15.—The recall of
Baron Fava, the- Italian minister to
this country, on account of the New
Orleans affair has left the interests of
Italy in the United States in • peculiar
condition. The present Charge d'Af
faires in Washington not being invested
with the powers "of a minister, and
Italian dtisens residents of this country
fee-inn the necessity for representation
of their interests, have taken matters
in their own hands. The president of
the Italian chamber of commerce In
New York called on Secretary Bask,
and it is reported that his visit was in
connection with negotiations looking to
the raising of the Italian embargo on
American pork. It is understood that
these negotiations have been in progress
for some time, and that they are in such
a state that the raising of the embargo
will be announced shortly.

Sas Antonio, Tex., Oct. 15—The

the city has been forwarded to con
gress, now in session, asking that the
act be repealed. Similar petitions are
being prepared at Monterey, Chihuahua,
and other cities in' that country. One
of the effects of the new tariff will be
to increase the duty on cotton seed oil,
which is extensively used in the manu
facturing of soap, from 1 cent to 10
cento per kilogram. Daring the past
week twenty car loads of tobacco have
been shipped through this city to Mon
terey manufacturers. The great rash
of other goods which will be affected by
tbs new tariff into Mexico from the
United States, still continues.

A Goshen, Ind., special says: Early

way in the grass at Yoeman lake, the
water in which is at present very low,
and in a few moments the entire lake
was a sea of fire, the vegetation that
towered above the surface of the great
er part of tbe lake being inflamable.
The fire wui communicated to fence*
and straw stacks bordering the lake,
and had it not been for herculean work
done by the people of that viciuitr, who
fonght it against groat odds until dark,
the fire would have spread over the en
tire neighborhood.
A Washington, Ind., special says:
The excitement caused by the court
house fire was intensified when Pinker
ton detectives, assisted by officers here,
arrested Sam Harbin orl the charge of
being accessory to tin* incendiarism.
Harbin is known to have bought two
jugs and to have had them filled with
coni oil the day preceding the fire. The
jugs were found and identified. Other
arrests will be marie at one*. The city

six patron* are involved and perhaps
more.
