GERMAN _ DISCRIMINATION Attempts to Discourage Consumption of American Meat Products. Result of an Investigation of Hiness From Trichinae During the Past Fifteen Years, Consul Barnes at Cologne has made an interesting report to the State Department of the constant and studied discrimination against American meats in Germany. “Througa the medium of @ society of German foreign meat importers, whose ob- ject is the protection and promotion of the German trade in meats and fat products,” he says, “I learn that for the last fifteen years, beginning with the decree of 1883 prohibiting the importation of American meat, and ending with the close of last year, the kin: illne Were officially confirmed in the dom cf Prussia 3,00 reported cases of ss from trichinae, 207 of which resulted in Geath. Of these total numbers there could be traced to the eating of European meat, examinca in Germany and found to from trichmae, 1,242 cases of itIness Thus 41.35 per cent of all es of illness and 49.7 per cent of ull the deaths were caused by the consumption of European pork, which was examined in Germiny and found to be free from trich- inae. The remaining cases could also he traced to importations of Euronean meat, partly examined and partly not examined, and founu to contain trichinae, and yet handied by the trade. Net Onc Due to American Meat. “In not one of the above 3,0 cases could it be proved that the illness was caused by the use of American saited, pickled, or tin- ned meat, nor by smoked sausage (imported | under imperial deeree of September 3, 1801). This statement holds good for all Germany. In ¢ ct, the societ hereinbefore mentioned has issued posters na reward of 1,000 marks (§238) is offered to the person who can prove that trichinae have been transferred to human beings by the consumption of American salted or pickled pork or smoked sausage iraported under the imperial decree of Sep- 3, 4391, canceling the edict forbid- importation.

Wil Result in Exctusion. “When, in 1891, the edict against sauss and pork products from Am ceisd, no inspection of sausage or pick! kK was required until July 1, 1808. Si then, both products are subjected to spection. This I result the absolute exclusion of*sausage and yickled pork or bonel-ss hams from the German market. In the case of boneless hams, weighing from two to three pounds each, the cost of inspecting amounts to 15 pfennigs per ktio- gram, or of marks ($3.57) per 100 kilograms English pounds. Add to this th duty of 20 marks, and we have a total cox of marks, o1 on pounds « meat, which virtually means the prohibi- tion of such products. Warnings Against American Meats. “Other expedients also appear to be re sorted to by self-constituted authorities In order to discourage and prevent the large censumption of American meats. There is how pending before the court at Elberfeld, a town near Cologne, a suit relating to a case of meat from America which was packed in | ems that the munic’ pality of ed, through the daily papers, a ning to dealers that such meats should not be handled or sold by s its use to bz detrimental to the health of the consumer.

Onward it sweepeth, a suddening tide, Secming all glories of Nature to bide— Flowers droop their beautiful blooms near its way; Birds cease their caroling, tuneful and gay. Yet it 1s meet that the flowers hide thelr blush; Right that the songsters their music should bush— Creeping its way te the welcoming tomb, Beareth the cortéze a flower, in its bloom Sucdenly stricken to earth and to death, Breathing rare sweets on its last flitting breath— Sweets of tht soul that fs noble and strong, Tenefully murmuring heavenly song. ‘This is the passing of glorious youth— Soul of rare valor and purest of truth, ‘Tenderness shedding its fragrance of love, Purity like the white wings of a dove, Bravery history cannot excel, Strength that the reign of the right must compel— ‘These were his traits and not oft may we see All of them borne as Ly Newton Ferree. —THOMAS CALVER. ——— Effective.

Dreyfus Excited State of Public Feeling in France—Confidence in the Army Shaken, Lieutenant Colonel Henry, who was ar- rested at Paris upon eonfessing the author- ship of a letter connected with the Dreyfus case, committed suicide yesterday. Lieu- tenant Colcnel Henry cut his throat with a razor he had concealed in his valise. When Lieutenant Colonel Henry was summoned to the residence of the minister of war he found assembled there Colonel Paty du Clam, Count Esterhazy, General Boisdeffre, General Roget and M. Cavaig- nac. The minister of war had the sus- pected letter on his desk. He took it up and said to Henry: “You did not mention the name of the agent who furnished this letter. My attention has been called to the fact that on the docket there is no name.” Colonel Henry beat his forehead and then said he had no memory for names and had forgotten the name in this case, but he would know the man if he saw “It is a pity you have forgotten, M. Cavaignac dryly. “We think the letter @ forgery and that you have been duped by a clever forger.” Henry declared his belief in its authenticity, but in a very faint voice. “Come,” said the minister, “no agent ever gave it to you. You wrote it in pencil to disguise your handwriting the better. You are the forger.” The colonel’s speech grew thick, but he denied the charge. Then it was repeated, and he gave fresh explanation. His Confeasion. But his tongue began to cleave to the roof cf his mouth, and it was feared that he would have an apoplectic stroke. “On your honor as u soldier,” said M. Cavatgnac, more gently, “did you, or did yeu not write that letter?” “Since you appeal to my soldierly honor, it was I who wrote it,” he replied. ‘Fhe fact of the suicide became known at Mont Valerion about 9 o'clock last even- i It is supposed that it was committed out five in the afternoon. When the o! cials entered his cell Henry was found ing in a pool of blood, dead with a terrific gash in his throat. nortly before midnight Madam Henry, who had been informed, went to the fortress and was admitted, the officials grant her perirission to pass the night beside the bod _Figaro believes that the chamber of deputies will be convoked in extraordi- nary session, and that a strong parliamen- tary commission of inquiry will be ap- peinted. aignac has declined to accept the r nm of General Gonse, under chief of the general staff: General Le Mouton de Boisdeffre, chief of the general staff of the French army, tendered his r signation to the govern- General de Boisdeffre in his letter of res- igna xplains that he resigns owing to hi laced confidence In Lieutenant Coionel Henry, which led him to present as genuine what was forged evidence.

He wiil be re- i, therefore, by General Renouard, director of the military eollege. The scene of Lieutenant Colonel Henr: 's Was most painful. When he saw it was altuost useless to deny further, his tongue grew too thick for his mouth, and he was unable to speak. It was feared he would have an apoplectic stroke. On His Way to Prison. After his arrest he was permitted to visit his wife while on the way to the fortress at Mont Valerien. She thought he really had a fit. He addressed he as “my poor wife,” adding, “I am under arrest.” The officer accompanying him was under or- ders not te lose sight of him for a moment, and, therefore, he could not see his wife alone. All three proceeded to his bed room to get the necessary clothing. Henry then clasped his wife in his arms, and ex- claimed: “My conscience is pure and free from every sting This exclamation is much commented upon, as going to show that he may possi- bly have forged the letter under orde from his superior: Lieutenant Colonel Henry was a peas- ant's son. He retained much of the rough- and-ready manners of a non-commissioned officer. He was lacking in education, spoke no foreign languages, and owed his promo- tion primarily to his reputation for blunt straightforwardne: The cabinet hel der the pr Ie finally two stormy sittings un- sidency of M. Faure yesterday. rose between 6 and 7 o'clock, having apparently failed to arrive at a decision on the question of revising the Dreyfus sentence, for the customary offi- cial note was not issued. It is possible, however, excited state of public feeling, that the government deems it advisable to pro- ceed cautiously and to conceal its decisions for the present. looking to the Effect Upon Exterhazy. M. Delcasse, minister for foreign affairs, is sald to have been violently attacked by his colleagues for having been ignorant of the intention of the Emperor Nicholas to issue his disarmament proclamation, but in face of the revival of the Dreyfus affair the disarmament proposal has taken quite a@ secondary place. It is alleged that sev- eral “ministers, including M. Brisson, the premier; M. Maruejouls, minister of com- merce, and M. Trouillot, minister of the colonies, demanded a revision and the im- mediate supersession of several staff offi- cers. M. Cavaignac, however, remained firm, opposing this course on the ground that Lieutenant Colonel Henry's forgery had not altered the case as affecting Drey- fus’ guilt. The only result thus far, therefore, is that Esterhazy is cashiered, and will re- tire on a smail pension. Even after leay- ing the council the ministers continued to argue heatedly. M. Faure has deferred his intended re- turn to Havre. It would be imposible to describe the sensation that has thrilled Paris, and it is not unlikely that at the next meeting of the chamber of deputies the government will be defeated. Colonel Henry’s confession threatens to rekindle the Dreyfus agitation more heat- edly than ever, and scems likely to shake public confidence in the army. Even the Liberte, a strong enti-Dreyfus organ, says: “It must cause the deepest pain to all honorable men that officers of such stand- ing show such a lack of moral sense.” It is said that if the cabinet decides upon revision of the Dreyfus case, M. Cavaignac, minister for war, will resign. —__-+ e+ THE GALE AT SAVANNAH. Wrecked a Hundred Houses and Did Half a Million Dollars Damage. While there was no loss of life from Wed- nesday night's storm which swept Savan- rah, the damage to property will foot up close to half a million dollars. The storm began early Tuesday night, and raged with increasing violence until yesterday morning. It was at its height between 4 and 5 o'clock, when the wind reached a velocity of eighty miles an hour. It was then the heaviest damage was done. When daylight came the streets were im- passable from debris. ‘ Probably 100 buildings were wholly or partially unroofed, and as many more were camaged in other ways. The roof was torn from the Savannah Theater, and the audi- torium of that building was transformed into a lake. In the business part of the city dozens of stores were unroofed, and windows were blown in and the interiors flooded. There was no telegraphic communication until late last evening. Street car travel was blocked, and last night the city was in dark- seen. ‘The streets are a network of tangled wires. In the harbor and at quarantine at Ty- bee the damage to shipping is heavy.

From the Pall Mall Gazette. I have heard people complain bitterly of the Paris pawnshops. The whole pawning organizaticn being in the hands of the gov- ernment, the formalities that have to be fulfilled before an object can be pawned are, I am told, of a most complicated na- ture. First of all, the would-be pawner has to prove his identity by the production either of a marriage certificate, a sporting license or an electoral card. If, as it oc- casionally happens, he is not married and not a sportsman and not an elector the dif- ficulties which the situation presents are practically, insuperable... He may also be called on to prove thatjhe is not a minor, and that he has duly performed his obliga- tory military service.
