Tho French negotlations ave at a stand still he said becauso the French as sombly had adjourned. But from informa- tion he bad received he was satisfied that the American meat question would be one of the first things taken up and disposed of by the assembly when it came togother again this fall, Austrinis likely to follow suit for Consul General Goldschmidt of Viennua has just reported to the State department that the Austrian sugar producers are much alarmed at the suggestion that the United States may put upan embargo against Austr sugar unless Austria takes down her embor, against American meat products. Tbis prossure of the sugar makers of Austria, who arca power in that country, is considercd likely to induce the Austrian government to mako short work of tho embargo atsu early day. now, ITATA CASE SETTLED. The Itata case is at an end, It has worked its own solution. Thero is no provavility that the procedure of the United States gov- ernmont against the Chilian revolutionists charged with having unlawfully proceeded from the United States with ammunitions of war against anothor governmont will come beforoe a court for determination. Wten the revolutionists’ vessel sailed from a California port last summer with a ship load of guns and ammunition, in _violation of neutrality laws of the United States, a serious question aroso. When they won their battle ngainst Balmaceda and his forces at Valparaiso, and the victory was made complete by the capitulation of Santiago, the gricvance of tho United States agaiust them was almost at an end. When tho revolutionists were given charge of Chili’s govedmental machin- ory and Bzlmaceda evacuated, a second and important step in that_direction was taken. when the other day, the Dopartment of State recognized the govecnment in Chili, the res- toration of peace between the United States and the revolutionists was practically made complete. When later, the agents of the new government proposed to make restitu- tion with the United States for moncy ex- pended in overtaking the Itata, tho differ- ences between this aud tho now government resolved itself inwo a mero matter of dollars and cents.

Cueroker, la, Sept. W. B. Allison ovened the republican campaign in this city this afternoon in a three hours’ speech, and ho roceived the applause of a largo audience that did not seem weary, ul- though the speech was of unusual length. The tariff, freo coinage, the prohibitory Inw and Governor Boies’ New York and Cherokee corn speeches wero the subjects treated of by the semator. The McKinley bill, he said, though not perfect or in all re- spects as he would have it, was the best tarift law ever euacted by congress, and was prov- iug to be a most beneficial law for the people. It had not increased the costof auy art 1 common vso while mauy stapies had ac- tually been reduced in price since tho pass- ago of the bill. The reciprocity clause had already opened the markets of three coun- tries to us, and bad affected an entrance into France aud Germany for American pork. For this feature of the bill we are indebted to that wise statesman, James G. Blaine. The mention of Mr. Blaine's name received loud and long continued applause. I'hosena- tor clrimed that the republican silver coinnge taw provided for the uso of all the silver mined in_the country while protecting itsolf from the billion of foreign silvor which would scelc onr shores undc absolute free coinage. Considerble timo was devoted to Governor Boies' Now York corn speech as reaflivmed in bis Cherokeo speech_and the figures of Labor Commis- sioner Sovereign upon which the governor's atements were analysed. From the same atistics tho governor figured out a small profit to the farmers by rwsing this cereal. By leaving out articles which the speaker thought to be oxtravagant and unreasounblo v substantial profit resulted. The prohibitory law, Mr. Allison said was enacted as & result of a non partisan election at which the poople said, by 30,000 majority, that they desived to try the experient of prohibition. The law should -remain and be respected and enforced until the people by a siwilar election demanded its repesl. Thoe statement made by Governor Boics in his Cherokee speech that the attempt to enforce tho prohibition law had caused more pa per- ism ana brought misery to more homes than would the unrestricted sale ot alcoholic baverages in tho same length of timo, was severcly criticized, and the spoakoer thought with o governor, giving utterance to such words, elected thers would be hopes for the passuge of any law opposed by @ considerable number of the peoplo. The senator closed with an appeal for earuest and united republican action, which would result in giving them a vieto in the next eloction by & majority of 25,000, State Chaivman Mack, Congréssman Porkins and S attenced the meat ing, and all pr ol great coufidence in republican suceess in this state.
