Accablegram has been received at the State Department from Hon. Whitelaw Reid, United States minister to France, announcing the re- moval of the duties on American pork, as fol- lows: I have the pleasure to report that the pres- ident yesterday promulgated the law fixing the duty on pork, and today publishes 4 decree re- Pealing from this date the prohibition on American pork, which bas existed in France wince the 18th of February, 1381. The foliow- ing is the substance of the deeree: “President of Freneh republic, on report of minister of agriculture, in view of decrees of 18th of Febrnary, 1881, and of 23th of Decem- ber, 1899, br which American potk was ex- chided, in view of sauitury ection now jad by the government of the United States for pork intended for export, in view of the opinions expressed by the ministers of for- eign affairs, of finance, of intertor and of com- merce and industry, decrees us follow: “Article 1.

Wirretaw Rew. eee & BOUNDARY DISPUTE. | Hict with the present decree.” The Supreme Court Asked to Fix the West- ern Line of Maryland. Attorney General Whyte of Maryland in the Supreme Court of the United States yester- day asked leave to file a bill of tho state of Maryland against the state of West Virginia for the settlement of the boundary line be- tween the two states, und petitioned the court for the issue of a subperna to be served on the proper officers of the defendant state. The question in controversy is one that has been long in dispute. The original charter of Maryland described the western boundary of Maryland to be a meridian line running south to the first or more distant fountain of the Potomac. ‘The point at which the meridian line was to begin had to remain undetermined until it should be found, which was the farthest source or first fountain of the Potomue; in other words, which of the branches of that river took its rise far- thest from its month. ‘The point bas been in dispute since before 1736, when the question arose which of the two great branches which unite to form the Potomae river was the longer. ‘The bill filed by Mr. Whyte recites the efforts made before the civil war to settle with Vir- ginia this controversy, and since the war that imilar efforts Have been made to adjust it with West Virginia, but all endeavors have failed. It then describes the conflicts of jurisdiction and antagonistic claims which bave arisen and the dangers attendant on its remaining longer an- adjusted, aserts that West Virginia is claiming jurisdiction over and jon of a lurge ter ritory belonging to Maryland, and prays the Supreme Court to establish the true boundary between the states and to quiet the possession of Maryland in the full enjoyment of its own territory. The court will dispose of the motion, it is expected, on Monday, the 14th. —— ‘The Bank Presidents’ Case. Attorney General Miller asked the Supreme Court yesterday to postpone the hearing of the cases of Claassen and Simmons, the New York bank presidents who are confined in jai! for embezzlement and “kiting” operations, as As- sistant Attorney Generai Maury had not yet been able to prepare argament for the govern- mont Me.

His client he said, hed been ‘in fol‘ ear and seven months and was awaiting the Ecaring of the case in the Supreme Court’ with a good deal of hope. He was ready to go on with the argument and the United States had had a month and a hali in which to get ready. Jucige Sheliabarger of Washington, in behalf of Sininons, also wished a speedy hearing. Chief Justice Fuller finally said that the case would be set down at the foot of the cases us- signed for yesterday, so that the government couid have one or two days more in which to prepare for the argument. a3 SS Mrs. Florence’ feturn.

Tho Chinese general, Nich, one of the bravest and best known of the imperial army, and who distinguished himself in operations against the Taiping rebels, led the government forces, numbering 6,000 picked men from the ying ping or na- tional army. ‘Those wore armed with the Mauser rifle and had several Krupp ficld cannon. They met the rebels at Chaoyang. The lat- ter wore 8,000 in number Nearly one-half, if not more, of the rebels were mounted on hardy Mongolian horses. Gen Nich first took the precaution of selecting 100 trusty men with several of his best officers as arear guard. ‘These were stationed within about 300 yarde of the rear main body of Chinese troopsaud ordered to kill on the spot any soldiers retreating from the field, whether one or in numbers. These instructions were also made known to the rest of the army. Nich then sent a body of troops through a ravine to the left with the view of outflank- ing the enemy. Then with the main force he charged the rebels, who awaited the onset Without a waver. Bofore charging his troops volley into the rebel ranks, which decimated but did not break them. The rebels fought bravely. It was Tartar ist Tartar, the Mongol baif savago against the Mongol trained and disciplined. For a time the struggle was doubtful. the rebels at this point saw the flanking party. With ibe courage of despair they threw themselves on tho im- rial troops and pressed them buck. Gen. ich rallied bis troops at their former line,and, placing himself at the head,led the final charge, the force he had sent around at thy sume time attacking the rebels ou the flauk. The charge was irresistible, Nich, still at the head of Lis men, dashed into the breaking ranks of the enemy, seeking out the rebel commander. A wound, whether serious or not is untold, staid tho ardor of Gen. Nich, and whi imperial troops slaughtered them on every side, and wherever they tound « wounded rebel they stabbed him to death. Those who sur- rendered as prisoners were immediately be- headed, except soveral officers, who were chopped to pieces. = Gen. Nich at once reported his Victory to Pekin, whcre the news was received with gen- eral rejoicing. As confirmation of the un- nouncement, the couriers who brought the dispateh carried the head of the rebei leader ina bag. The pursuit of the mounted rebels was continued. The ater took revenge on the mhabitants for their defeat, piiluging, burning and slnughtering as they went back toward their desert fustnesses. At latest adviecs the Chinese troops bad not again come into collis- ion with the insurgents. It is stated that the number of native Chris- tians wio perished in the massacres thut fol- lowed the opening of the rebellion was about ‘The number of European victims is un- known. It is known that no British were amoug the victims. ANOTHER MASSACRE. A dispatch from China to the headquarters of the Belgian missions in Brnssela bringe the uews of another frightful massacre. ‘The ani- mosity towurd foreigners and the Christian re- ugion which has been growing more demon- strative at Lien-Tsin, has culminated in an at- tack on the Lazarist mission,called Wyuhovel,at ‘Tien-Tsin. The Belgian missionaries and other Europeans escaped with their lives, but many native Christians fell victims to cruel as- sussination.

On Saturday a stranger notified the company that Bastian had com- mitted suicide und his body was in the morgue. ‘The news was broken to Mrs. Bastian and she Went into hysterics and fainted several times. The fire department decided to show respect for the memory of Bastian and the engine houses were draped in mourning While the goodness of Lastian was tho uppermost topic tu the 47 engine house Bastian walked in, his face wreathed in smiles. He frightened’ two men severely und then explained that it was a joke.

If you suffer from general debility of the body, you should consider it a press- ing engagement to get thoroughly acquainted with the genuine Johann Hoff's Malt Extract. Your system may be debilitated, or you may experience physical weak- ness, without being ill.

Faller Particulars of the Kecent Victory ef | Young Americans Searching Employment i Warned Against Australia. A prominent American citizen, resident of Melbourne, Australia, writing to this country says: [feel it to be a duty I owe to all young sn immigration to this continent at the present time in search of remunerative occupation. I earnestly advise them not to undertake the journey unless to fulfillan engagement made beforeband, or they be prepared financially to remain for a coneid- erable time without employment, and my jadgment afvera year’s observation is that even en they will be better off to remain at home. Australia has undoubtedly enormous ro- sources, which are as yet undeveloped, and from the peculiarities of the conditions surrounding them and the t situation here they muss remain 80 for # long time to come. The facilities which have been evolved and fitted to the conditions existing in other parte of the worid are not such as can be succese- fully used here. Nature has on this continent given man an entirely new set of problems to solve, and until these have been worked out, “antil the spplication te made to fit the cir- cumstance,” ul f all this country is possessed of will be slow. ‘Tho cities, and the country districts as well, are but now emerging from the frenzy of an unparalleled “land boom,” andas this was fol- lowed last year by the disastrous maritime strike trade of every description is it.

Ido not think there is any pre}- udice against citizens of the United States, but other things being equal the Briush subject naturally bas the preference. Quite a number of energetic Americans now here have indvus- triously cought employment without sucocea, and the charity of the few Americans resident here alone prevents absolute suffering for food. jut this charity has been stretched to the ut- most, and, as I have been informed, there are others who are preparing to come, I am in- duced to write this word of warning.
