Importation of American Hog Meats Prohibited in France. t The Restriction Does Not Apply to Lard—Interviews. ‘The Chicago provision market was decidedly panicky yesterday, and the astute speculators ip the American hog product were thrown into a fever of excitement und demoralization by the receipt of acablegram that the French Council of Ministers, through President Grévy, bad issued un order prohibiting the importation into France of American hor meats. The same cable dispatch said, “Stop all shipments.” ‘Similar dispatches were received by several provision firms, 200 when they were announced the crowd in the pork pit on ‘Change woke up 9s if 1 bombsbell were suddenly pitched into their midst, and there was a general scramble to sell. April pork, that bad clésed Friday at $15.70 per berrel aud opened yesterday at 315.50. fell 6714 cents, closing at 214.9215. Short ribs fell off 213 ta 3 cents per 100 pounds, and lard dropped 225 cents on the 10) pounds. It was understood subsequently thet. tho probibition did not in- clude lard, and France doos not 1uke our mess pork, the exportations to that country in the pork line consisting of hams and sboulders prin- cipally.- It was also understood that orders had been regeived here to selt meats that bad heen bought: fov export. Asa result of the nows holders were Oblixcd to sell, because thelr mar- gios were ‘used up. No failures were reported, however, but it was suid | that some speculators were severely pinched, and there wae a general and hurried tendency to sunioad on the part of several beavy dealers, who ft was believed bad more pork than they cared TO CARRY UNDER SUCH CIRCUMSTANCES. Of course there was no rcal guod reason why the pork and lard markets should be alfected by a probibitory order on hams and sboulders that was in all provability but te:nporary. but they were in syippatby with the fatter and the spec- hlative interest and the customary cuurse of trade in this mart, and down they ail went. ‘The cutting off of a source of shipment 50 im- portant to Chicugo packers and the producers of the bog product was a very serious matter, and reportorial researches and interviews were, in order Instanter. Tbe first gentleman called upon was Mr. Jules DeClereg, French Consul. He ‘stated that he had no ollicial notice that such an order bad been issued by his Government, nor did he expect any telegraphic notice; prota- .bly by steamer from Havre in tho course of two. weeks or so he would receive a letter fully posting him about the ‘mutter. He explained that it was customary forthe French Council of Ministers to issue uch uo order as that in question, and he fhowed the reporter the official journal of the Government containing orders similar to that _referred tu. One prohibiting the importanon of cattle into France from Spuin because of pleu- ro-pneumonin, was -sigticd by the Presi dent, Jules Gré and countersigned by the Minister of 4 culture and Commerce, P. Tirard. These orders, M. De Clereq said, origi- nated from the Council, and were fiual, so faras any other authority was conceraed, but. be did pot think that this latest prohibitory edict cut- ting off the shipment of American hog-meats was more than a temporary ineasure in the INTEREST OF THE PUBLIC UEALTH and weal generally. He bad read in aris and Havre newspapers: accounts of illnésses and deaths from trichinosis, which had been attrib- utedta American hams used so largely in France,t He did not think there was any cluss of ~ meu in‘ his ‘country who wouid be likely to influ- ence the issuing of such an order. “Jt might bavobeen done Lanes pe: adoption on a a tem.of inspection that would keep out bud ani He meats, ‘and also for the purpose of cre- ‘ating a revenue. je uuselman, 2 well-known packer and expensive shipper of hums nnd shoulders to Eurppesa..merkets, was next interviewed. He - inte 5 porter that he dia not think the order Wagjntended as n permunent one; It was but resirictuve, und designed to keep out the bad hog meats that bad become so troubiesume in both France and Germuny. There wus no sys- tem of inspection at the French ports at present, and he supposed the order was made to keep out the bad ineats until something could be done tohave all the importations of meats properly inspected. ‘ ‘Charles E. Gabain, of the firm of Gabain Bros., commission merchants at Havre, Mar- seilics, and London, und representative of the Chicago buuse of Armuur &, Co., was found— very opportunely—at the ollice of the latte gave some valuable information regurding the wutter.in band. Mr. Gabain suid the order was adicect prohibitory decree that practically cuc Df shipments wt present, and there was no knowing tor how long a time. He did pot think it would be permanent, however. ‘As to the shipments afloat, be thought they would huve to be sent to other markets on their arrival at French ports. The order, be believed, bad been issued through the mfluence of the agriculturists of France. They were not very Inrge.producers of hoz meats. The edict might also. have been in the interest of the public health, for there had been a food many BAD LOTS OF AMERICAN HAMS and shoulders sent into France, which had caused a great fival of dissatisfaction. There was now no system of inspection at*Frenco ports and to guard against’ the importation of diseased ang putrid meats he conjectured that one wag contempluted. Meats were only inspected in Frunce as the health in- apectors of the ‘towns ins d them. The ‘Lower House of the French Assembly bad passed @ bill plucing a tax of one-half cent per pound on imported meats, and the Upper House~the Senute—had a measure pending. to muke the tax: cigbt-tenths of a cent per pound. Mr. Gubain thought it likely the one-balf cent tax would be levied. Trichina was. not, in his opinion, so much the cause of the prohibition as bud meats. There bad becn a great deal of trouble about large quantities of bad shoulders that were shipped from this country into France last summer; se guods had not been sufficiently cured w stand the transit. The shipments of American hog-meats to France last year amounted to 152,000 to 220,000 Doxes, or 100,000,000 pounds. - 3. P. Hutchinson seid the probibition would make no difference in the end. He believed that ~ people wust eat.” orders in Counc! to the contrary notwithstanding. ‘Shoeneman & Co, hd also received a copy. of the cublegram announcing the probibition of American hog-meat shipments into France, and Mr. Shoenemnn said it was a very serious and ‘unexpected edict that would cause an unsettied and necessarily” PANICKY FEELING IN THE MARKET. Be bad not heurd of any emburrassments, how- ever, in consequence of it. He did not think the order would continue in force any longer than it would reauire a system of inspection to be put in force, and he also thought the movement wus made in the interest of the ugriculturists and the public health. ‘Two other zentiemen who were interviewed thought that one or two large firms bad taken advantage ot the situation to “unioud,” ux they believed that one of the firms wus “short” on pork to a large extent. > There is a probability that the perk market will be further excited to-morrow, and some more ‘news regurding the intentions of the French Government is anticipated. $$$ THREE BU3GLARS CAPTURED.

Freeman, After the discussion of buman electrical bat- teries, it may. be well to add that there is in_ this city 2 young man, a resident of the Ninth Wart, who is known as the “walking barometer.” He predicts storms ond changes of the atmosphere Borg the warmer months with wonderful ac- curacy. He will foretell a Steady rain sometimes three days before it comes. und will predict a thunder-storm the same day of {ts uccurrence, + although ‘there be not # cloud‘in the sky at the time. He attributes his power to foretell these storms to calomel in bis system. He says that geveral years uo, while suffering from a bilious attack, itis physician gave bim adose of calomel. “At the sume time he was using A galvanic ma- chine which contained s battery for a nervous complaint; the solution of this battery con- tained several ounces of quicksilver, with whlch. to keep the zine plates of the buttery scouted. His musician told him to give up bis battery until after the effect of the ‘calomel bad passed off, as there war a possibility that the electric quicksilver solution might, through the electric current, form a eympatby with the calomel he bad’ taken, and return it to its natural state of mercury und set it permanently io bis system. After some ten days the young man commenced to use his battery again, and ‘almost immediately, he says, he detected a duil pain along the bones of bis legs from the ankles to the knees, and this pain came whenever be used his galvanic battery, and could not be removed. After giving up the uso of tho battery ho noticed that the pains seemed tocome at regular intervals, and finally ho noticed there would be a storm, but.as soon as rain tell, or there‘was an explosion of electricity in the shape ot thunder, these pains Instangly ‘ceased. In cold weather he loses the facultyof telling when there is £0- ing to ben storm, as the mercury in his shin- Dones is in a state of painful activity all the while. It does not scetn to bother him, however, ind few people, as they see bis form moving With swift and sure step along tho strects, know the pain he is in. He says that if his quick- silver would only give him a rest once ina while during cold wenther be could beat Vennor ali to picees on predicting storms.

A Scathing Review of the Petition in the Case of Dugan. — Judge Hawes yesterday afternoon, in tho Criminal Court, decided the question of whether or not be would grant William Dugan, indicted for robbery, a change of venue. A few days ago the caso yas culled for trial, it will be re- membered. whereupon the attorney of the pris- oner, Mr. Trude, appexred and announced that tho State's Attorney had agreed that it should be passed fora few days. Judge Hawes said that he knew nothing of any such agreement, ‘and refused to pass the case because the wit- nesses forthe peuple had been sitting around several days waiting for it to bo tried. Some parleying followed between the Court and coyn- sel, anda few hours later the necessary affida- vits were filed asking fora change of venue on account of the prejudice of his Honor, which were subscribed to by Daniel Riley and Samuel J. Dorgan. The Judge did not regard the aflidavits, however, as sufficient, and denied that he could be prejudiced, because he had never before seen the defendant, and quite a colloquy followed as to whethorhe was legally bouad to grunt the changé, and, furthormore, as to whethor or not he bad a right to send for tho atfiants and ex- amine them as to what thes hud sworn to. The result of the dispute Was that the a) plication wwus refused, but the Court announced that he would take the legal questions tnvolved under consideration, and deliver his ultimatum fon few days. Such is the history of the case in brief. ‘In deciding the question the Judge reviewed the proceedings in the case at length, that it was impossible for him to bave been prejudiced, vecause he had never seen the prisoner nor beard of him before he came into court for trinl, and that no reputable ‘person, would swear to the contrary, and that any one ‘who would was unworthy of belief. From this the Court went on to say: fs * When these affidavits were presented Tin~ quired uf the prisoner if ne kucw the partics making them, or could give their addresses. He stated that he conld not, I made the sam ine quiry of the attorney for the detendunt. He Stated in substance that be did not know muck about them, but that they were honest, bard- working men, and that he found one of them ubout the County-Building. | “The defendant in tiling this petition with theso affidavits has complicd with the letter of the statute, and Iam called upon, baving personal Ienowledge of the fact that the material alleza- tons of buth the petition and allidavit are false, to decide whether the defendant is legally entitied to n change of venue or not. Had I be- lieved that the application was hqnestly @ade I should have granted it at once when the peti- dion was filed. Our last Lezisiature attempted to amend Sec. 21 of the act relatins to the change of venue, on ‘account of prejudice of the presiding Judge. * This amendinent provides that when such ap- plication is made in Cook County, the Judge to whom the petition is presented shall call in two other Judges, and they three, after considering the subject, shall dec:de whetber the change or Yenue should be awarded or not. Upon a cusual examination of the statute Iwas at first in- clined tu think it could be held constitutionnl; but, upon a more careful examination of the provisions of the Constitution, I am satistied that it cannot. ‘The practice here provided oy luw is epecial to Cook County, and this provision does not apply to any other county in the State. “The amendment, I think, is unconstitutional, and must in this case be disrezarded. In deter- mining this question | must be guided by tho statute as it stood befure the amendment was passed. By Sec. 21it is provided that. when the cause for a change of venue is the prejudice of the Judve, tho objection shall be accompanied by the nflidavits of two reputable persons resi- dent of the cuunty, and not of kin or counsel of petitioner; that they believe. the Judge is £0 rejudiced against tne petitioner that he cannot ave fair. and imnpartint triel; and therefore the Judge shnll change the venue of suid cause. This section in terms gives the Judge no diseretiun in the matter. but simply Says that upon compliance with the statute be shail change the veaue. There would not scem to be any authority here given for the Judge to inquire futo the truth or falsity of the petition or allidavits, or the causes which induced the re- spective parties to make the. same. ‘This sec- aon does require the affidavits sball be made by reputable persons, but that the presiding*Judge hus any authority under tho statute to inquire as to the churucter of the allidavits, and it it should nppear to him that they are not reputa- ble, deny the motion, is at lest doubtful, Tam not awnre that our Supreme Court has directly passed upon tts question, but from the limited exarmination that I have had. timo to make since this petition was presented, I am sittisfied that the tendency of the various decis- jons of our Court upou the general subject, of change of venue is against such autborit} ‘This was followed in the decision by a long list of authorities touching the questions at is- sue, concluding us follows: “From tbe lintited examination of the au- thorities that 1 have bud time to make while running the court, and in view of the fuct that no specific authority fs by our statutes given to the presiding Judge to make examinntion or in- quiry as. to the truth of tho, petition aud affidavits tiled in cases like this, Tam inctined to the opinion that it 13 my duty to grant a change of venue in this case, notwith- standing the fuct thit1 know that I have no prejudice whatsoever against the defendant ugan, and am fully convinced that these pro- ceedings for a change of venue were instituted to prevent a trial of the case at the time it was rexcbed on the regular cail.” ‘The change of venue was granted to Judge Barnum, and tho case was set for hearing Murch a o'clock, and Mr. Trude wus asked to be ready. a ———_— A TOUGH PLACE. Louis Del Angelico, proprietor of a disreputa~ ble den at No. 281 Clark street, was fiued $15 yes- terday for disorderly conduct. It appeared that two recent inmates of bis den were girls under 15 years of uge, one of whom was recently sent to the House of the Good Shepherd. The second girl was by no meuns us bud as the first, and she Was allowed to appearus u witness against Louis in court yesterday. When ber mother came to the denone night looking for her, she swore that Louis ordered her into the back room, and, after talking the morberoutof making avy further seurch -for per erring daughter in that quarter. put her out. through a rear win- dow, causing ber to sprain beraukle. Dotectives Ender and Long arrested her shortly ufter. She was tired of the life.and anxious to return to her home.

Health Commissioner De Wolf is not angry, but put ut because the Finance Committee cut off the item for the Workshop Inspectors. He told a TRuUNe reporter that those men had done a good work, having examined the status 25,000 whe workers, and that, in consequence of these visits, extensive improvements bad |. been and were being made in workshops in the way of protecting employés from daucer- ‘ug machinery and improving the ventilation.

THE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE of the Council held a mecting yesterduy after- noon. An opinion was received from the Corpo- ration Counsel with reference to the lengthening of the Van Buren street viaduct by the Fort | Wayne Raiiroud Comping, stating that he could not see where the city had been damuged there- by. A resolution was adopted calling on bins to answer this question: ‘Is tho city liable for damages, if any huve been sustained, to the property between the viaduct and Charles street?” . The Westerd Indiana matter was takon up, anda majority of the Committee signed 2"re- port setting forth that the extension of the time in which to Iny its tracks by the unauthorized acts of. tho Muyor bad no support in Jaw nor in Touson, and they therefore stood upon the rec- ommendations of their former report declaring that the Company had forfeited its rights.

They wero brought here by Mr. P. Dolan, of St. Louis, who says in a letter uccompanying them tbat they are given “as u tribute of adimirat.on for Chicago. and as slight desire of the Mexi- can people'for the establishment in the near future of mutually pleasant and proiltuble rela~ tions between themselves and the pubifc-spir- ited aud enterprising citizens of tho grent metropolis of the West, and second city in tm- portance on the Continent.

In his acknowledgment, the Mayor sitid: *t Chi- cago stretches toward Mexico a loving hand and fooks forward to no distant day when she may elusp that of the City of Mexico with au iron grasp. When that greeting is brought about, the demon ot war will slink away xbashed, the genius of commerce will smile, und the Goddess of Liberty ‘ill spread ber protecting band (?} over two sister Republics.” ‘The books ure peculiarly interesting, because all the mechanical work, which evidences much skill, was done in Mex! ‘i THE WATER-WORKS. The suggestion of the Finance Committee that the water-atlice be detached from the Depart- ment of Public Works and placed under the charge ot the Controller has provoked u good deal of tulk, and n_ reporter yesterday asked Commissioner Waller what he thouzht about the proposed transfer. P “1 do not think the parties who proposed it un~ derstand the situation,” gaid ke. ‘Tt looks well enough on the surface, but when it is attempted to put it in practical uperation it won't work ut all. The whole water system is so intimutely connected that it cannot be separated without discord and injury to the city. It would bea complete overthrow of tho leading principles which have governed the mangement of this important interest of the city from the beginning. ‘The cofstruction depurtment of the water-ollice (the supplying the water), is the main thing. Per- inits to use the water are issued at the collec- uon depurtment, but’ the supplying the water, tapping tho mins, putting in meters, ete., be- Jong to the construction department. At pres: ent, working under one head, there {s unity of action und harmony; divide and put tho work under two separate managements, exch having equal power, and there will be perpetual jarring and discord. New permits for the use of water involves the openiug of streets, and the protec tion and control of all the streets is with the De- partment of Public Works, and not with the Controller. Lean sce no way that the Controller Gould manage it except he be given the entire Water and Street Departments of the city. ‘Then. and then only, would the entire ramifica- tions of the present system be under his con- trol and subject to his management. ‘The Com- mittee state that ‘the watcr-oflice is entirely outside ot nnd_has no relation to the Depart- ment of Public Works.’ ‘The truth is, it s so in- terworen with other duties and functions of the Department that it cannot be separated from it without derangmg the whole system.” i “ What do you think is the reason for desiring that tho water-ollice shull be tuken from your Department?” “1 presume it is because my way of managing it is ovjectionable to somebody.

Tho case of the shellac varnish manufactured in Cupada und gold at low ratesin this cuuntry ‘vids fair to become ono of the celebrated cus- tos disputes. The possibilities of the scheme are immense, and the manufacturers claim that they cannot be prevented trom continuing the business without a radical change tn the hiw it- self. The Treasury Departinent bas been obliged to crawls on its previous decision “and render the following. which is of great lsportunce buth to distitfers and varnish manufacturers: ‘* Ty culiecturs of custums and others: Decision 4,549, Of Muy 27, 1850, treated of the rate of duty due upon 2 mixture ‘of alcohol and, shellac, and commonly called ‘alcohol shellac,” or “shellac varnish.” the quantity of speliue to the gallon of alcohol varying in different importations. . “Tho opinion was expressed in that decision, and indecision 3,461, that tho provision for val nish was applicable to importuvons of ierchun~ dise commercially known under that name, even though distilled spirits might bo a component of chief value, and notwithstanding the provision in Schedule “ D" that all compounds or prepat~ ations of which distilled spirits is 2 component of chief yulue, shull pay no less rate ot duty than that imposed on distilled spirits. Advan- tuge bas been taken of this ralo to ship to Cana du American alconol in bond, and there mix it with u quantity of shone, and it bag been then reimported into the United States upon payment of uduty of &0cents per gallon and v per cent ad yalorom, while tha miutmum duty imposed on distilled spirits ls ¥2 per proof-gallon, and the internal-revenue tax 13 90 cents per proof-gul- lon. ‘Tne question bas thus assumed un tmpor- tance, whicn, ut its tirst consideration. it did not present, and the Department has therefore de- ¢ided-to review the whole question. ‘It seems to buve been the practice, prior tode- ston 3,484, to regard the provision that all com-, jounds or preparadons. of wh'ch dist.lled spirits ls tho component of chief value, shall pay no Jess rate of duty than that imposed on distilled spirits, as prevallingaguinstany special enumer- ations of articles which might bave distilled spirits as a component of chief value. Notably was this so ju regurd to mediciual preparations, which are still classified at the rate of duty im- posed on distilled spirits, when such spirlts are tne element of ch.c! Jue. The provision quoted from schedule “ D" seems to imply that it ig a rule applicable to all compounds, because there is no exception therein, of articles epe- cully provided for; and_in order to make tho practice’ uniform: in. this* respect, and to mofe thorougbly guard. the revenue, the Department decides that all compounds or ‘preparations. of which distilled spirits isa component of chief value, shall be subjected to no less a rate of duty’ than that imposed upon distilled spirits, whether they are speulally provided for in tho turitf or not. Of course this does not apply to bay rum, which pays duty under its special enumeration, according tw proof. It may be further stated that ‘the article bas been here tofore invoiced far below its actual market value in Cand. and that in estimating the cost of production a value bus been given to uleobot in Canada below its actual market value, which, at the present time, appears to be about 7Ucents per gallon. + ‘In determining, therefore, whether, in any given case, distilled spirits “is a component ot chief-value, reference snould be hud to the actual market value or whulesulo price of the alcohol, and of the‘qthor materials ut the time of exportation, inthe principal markets of the country from whence exported. » JOHN SHERMAN, Seoretary.” ‘This decision will not prove more sutistuctory than the former, as it dues not strike at the root of the matter. Hurty & Co., the Kingston man~ ufacturers, can make the varnish honestly, nt the prices of production in bond, und still the alco- hol cannot be rated as the componcat of chief value. Unless the valuation is estimated ntcur- rent rates, they wil be enubled to continue their business as before. it now appears that the manifacturers wore the chief,kickers against the scheme, for they were being largely undersold on the varnish itself, and the redistillution of the alcobol 18 ouly ‘one of the possib.litics of illicit work. -The Cun- ada firm were ablo to ship alcohol from the United States to Cunada, \d de- an liver it in Kingston at 40 cents. per gallon. 'Thoy used two and:one-bulf pounds of shellac at 36-cents per pound, to tho gullon of alcohol, thus maklng the cost of the vurnish,—ulcobol, 40 cents; shellac, $9) cents, ‘hus the shellac was the component’ of chief value. ‘The varnish tous cost them $1.30 per gallon, and with ' the duty of S0cents und 20 per cont ad valorem. conld be reshipptd to this country for $2.06. It mst be remembered that the alcohol was shipped to Canada and thero worked up in bond. ‘The domestic manufacturers were compelled to puy $2.08 for the atcobol alone, which includes SL7of internal revenue tax, and the added 90 cents for.the shellac made the varnish cost them $2.08, or 92 cents more than the Kingston firm could inanufacture the sume ‘article for, mado out of the same American alcobol. Tals wide difference has for some time past driven the domestic article out of the murket. The extent of these operations is believed to buve been enormous, and tor .a lonz time the customs ollicinls were unable to discover even the port of importation, The cuxe is now cyen more compheated by the decision of the ‘Treasury Department, for even at the Treasury estimate of 70 cents per gallon for the alcobol. the shells which costs ® cents, would still be the comp nentof chief value at Canadian market rates. Under the present ruling the Canadian firm can continue, the business, although with a reduced prof : —— A Connecticut Town Governed by Un< written Law.

There is a town in Connecticut called Beacon Falls, consisting principally of the Home Woulen Mill and its operatives, where there Is butan indifferent system of constabulary, and nothing Ize alockup. it is the custom among the weavers of the mill to rignt their own wrongs without appealing to any legal jurisdic- don, and the course has been approved by the old settiers who pay taxes on tho round that it isnchenper system than to hive prosecunons regulurly brought tor cnsos of violution of hu, Pay-duy at the mill comes once a routh, und the bands take the opportunity, us regularly as the day comes around, to meet somewnere over a social class, and rodress all private or persout! grievances which remuined unsettled at the pre- | ceding pay-day..

By a practice inaugurated, heaven only knows how or how long agn, ail matters in which dur- ing the month bad blood bad been engendered are reserved for adjustment unt.l after pay day, and the fights and ussaults which then take place are apt to leave a belligerent flotsam and jetsam for the reagjusters at the next pay day. Tho strange part of the busjness 13 that the autbori- ties uppeur to Ike this method of preserving the public pence. As the workmen in the mill are a Chungeable set, coming und going according to their funcies or jnterests, and rarely baving a vote In the town, the public functionaries are elected by the very few votes of the “old resi- dents,” as-they are denominated, and the old residents are tor the most purt payers of taxes, who hke to save the public money, thereby sav- ing thefr own. When a fight takes place, it is usually in the evening. Gne of the “old-resideot” Grand Jurors lives about three miles away, and the other ig an ancient citizen who positively objects tw being called from bed to sign complaints. The Constables nre men having ofhor business, and, unless the fighting has resulted seriously, no no- tice is taken of the circumstunce. Should aa unfortunate blow be struck, the striker sener- ally walks down or up the track of the Nuuza- tuck Railroad at leisure und seeks a home else- where. The authorities then congratulute them- selves on having ullowed the matter to dispose of itself without cost to the public. AMUSEMENTS.
