Dis- FROM WASHINGTON, AMERICAN MEATS ABROAD, WasniNarox, Jenuary 30, Secretary Frolinghuysen has addressed to tho presi- dent a communication which he trans. mitted to the house of representatives in response to resolutions asking for the papers relating % the exelusion of American hog products from foreign countries. He submits to the president sopies ot all pertinent matter found of record in the department of state, and gives in detail the history of the exclu- sion of American meats from France, Germany, and other Eurojean countries. 1n March, 1881, the secretary says, the department of state prosecuted an exam- ination of the various phases of the pork industry in the western states, which re. sulted in establishing the fact of the en- tire healthfulness of pork products. The facts thus elicited war- ranted the departuent in ropresenting to foreign governments that the prejudi- ciol judgment agaiust the swine exports of this country was ex parte and un- founded, When it was ascertained that (iermany was about to issue an order for total exclusion, the prosident directed the imperial government to be informed of his intention to appoint a.commission to examine the whole subject, and invited it to send experts hither to act with the commission. The invitationwas declined. The president has since appointed the commission then contemplated. It is composed of a representative of the New York chamber of commerce, Prof. Charles . Chandler, a representative of the Chitago board of trade, E. W. Rlatchford, and two members appointed by the commissioner of agriculture, ¥. D, Curtis, of New York, and Prof, D. E, Salmon, the whole under the chair- manship of the commissioner of agricul- ture. [n point of acientific competence and elevated impartiality the formatien of the commission peculiarly fits ‘it for the execution of its responsible task. To it should belong in a great measure the shaping of the policy of this government towards the pork question in its domestic or foreign aspects. In view, therefore, of the prominent part which the results reachud by the pork commission must neceasarily play in the further treatment of the question by the executive or by congress, the secretary feels it incumbent upon him to advise that the president recommnend that congress abstain from any immediate legislative action until the report of the commission, soon to b pre- sented, is before it. The ' secretary further says the ques- tion to be carefully, frankly and honestly met, is_whether the prepared meat pro- ducts for export from this country are injurious to the public health, We be- lieve they are not, and have so repre- sented. Should it appear that the meat products of this country are, as we be- lieve them to be, not deleterious but promoters of health, it is believed those iriendly nations which put forth the de- crees prohibiting the importation of our meats would annul those decreos. If, however,}in face of the clear proof olicited both at home and abroad, that our products are freo from disense or communicable germs of disease, proof of which might ke established to a demon- stration by actual inspection, as well as supported by knowledge of the procau- tions which surround the raising and packing industries here, any nationswith which we are on terms of intimacy and amity should by legislation discriminaté) against the trade of this country rather than protect the health of their people,it would then have been the province of the executive to call the attention of such nations to the provisions of the treaties with confidence that thost treaties would be respected. It scoms very plain that our policy in any event should be to proye our meat products are wholesome. This, the absence of trichinosis in this country, and particularly in our army and navy, where our meats are constantly used, goes far to demonstrate. Meas- ures, however, might be taken to ascer- tain with absolute certainty, by such means as a commission of scientists would devise, that our meata are or can be ren- dered innoxious. THE CASB OF FORTER. WasnINGToN, January 30.—The Fitz John Porter debate will be closed Friday or Saturday. Last Saturday General Slocum said during the debate that he had in his possession original letters from (eneral Garfield, saying he was in favor of a commission, and that they will be produced by a republican member. 1Ivis {cn.mcll that this republican is Phelps, of New Jersey, in whose congressional dis- trict Gieneral Porter resides, and it is understood Porter's friends placed tiese letters in his hands together with other new evidence of a notable character, con- tradicting some assertions made during the present debate. General Slocum, on moving the previous question, will yield to Phelps, who will close the debate. MURRAY'S METHODS, Representative White, of Kentucky, testified before the house committee on expenditures in the department of jus- tice to-day with reference to nis charges against Governor Murray, of Utah, when United States marshal of Kentucky, He said the government had been wronged out of thousands of dollars through un- necéasary, ftivolous and fictitions prose- cutions of citizens, some of whom were takea from remote parts of the state all the way to Louisyille before commis sioners, who heard their cases on pre- liminary examination apparently for no other reason than to make the costs, and whus embittering citizens sgainst the government. A STATE DINNER, The prosident gave the first state din- ner of the season at the white house this evening. The east room was decorated with forns and tropical plants, the marine band was stationed in the further end of the room and the president received his guests, assisted by Mrs. McElro; The guests included Secretaries Freliughuy- sen, Liacoln, Teller and Chandler, Post- master General Gresham, Attorney Gen- eral Browster, Speaker Carlisle, General Sheridan, Senators Vance, Harrison, Conger and Bishop Simpson and their wives, Admiral Porter, Senators Sawyer, Sewell anl Aldrich, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Hiscook, Mrs. H.
