T™W WILL KILL THE TRADE L.t Decision of the Treasury Department End Animal Importing from England.

LONDON HAS A THING WORSE THAN GRIP Miss Lottle Collins Starts a Fool Rerrain That is MoreViralent Than «McGinty" and Osear Wilde Fl; ¥lower for t a New Chapples, Copyrighted 1892 by James Gordon Bennelt.) Loxvoy, Feb, 2 [New York Herald Cablo—Special to Tue Bee.]—The recent decision of the Treasury departmant at Waeshington that after Aprit no animals should be admitted free of duty unless ac. companied by a certitied record of pedigreo for five generations on the siro's side, and of four on the dam’s side, naturally has created great excitoment in the live stock breeders of this country. They have the coasolation, howevor, that it will create quite as much consternation among the live stock importers of America, and tho rule cuts both ways. If the framers of the decision had any practical knowledge of this particular branch of commerce thoy would at least have worded it mora carofully. Thoe excuse given for 1ts adoption is the alleged importation of mongrels of animals as cligible for free entry, and that rogisters had baan established for the purpose of defrauding the United States customs. Sevowal Americans here are now buying horses, and I am quito sure know nothing avbout tho decision, as they aro not looking for thoroughbreds. Mr. Hoxter, for instance, 18 buying for Mr, Forrest with a view to the stud at Katoral, N. Y. His spacialities are Hacknoys, Welsh and Shetland ponies. To ot pedigreas of all the ancesters of these for five generations will more than puzzle even horse doalers and breeders, Calls Forth Caust ‘The Gazetto says tho decision almost anni hilates sheep importing and souuds the death knell of the horse importing industry, referring of courso to the Uaited States. It further says: “Its promulgation by the Treasury departmont indicates a beiief that the stock of Clydesdales, Percherons, Shahs, Helgians, otc., were all mongrel bread, so that it requires at least tive crosses of record sires to eitablish a typoand fix the breed characteristics, a coaclusion which indicates ignorance mora profound than that which ordinarily obtains among customs oMcials, and wo kuow of none who ars denser.” Jenerally considerad, tho decision is in- tended as retaliatory on ucoount of tho em- bargo on Amorican oattle, and there arano signs by the way that this embargo will bo reloased by Mr. Chaplain. Dr. Wray, the Amorican cattle inspector at Deptford told me today. that thare is u hundred tima3 mors disease umong the cattle ‘of Groar Britain than among those of the United States. The inglish papers aro beluboring Dr. Wray becauso in the Chronicly a few aays ago ho smd in his opinon the foot aud mouth disease was brought into England in Gerinan skins, and not by Danish cattle. Hois advised to attend to his business and tbe government is blamed for permitting the United States to have cat- tlo inspectors here. Dr. Wray does not de- serve this, for when ho was asked his opinion he bad no idea that it would appear 1a print. He and the English authorities are on good terms in spite of his unfailing offorts to get the embargo raised. Tired of Ofiicial Life, M. John Jarrott, the consul at Birming- ham, has sent In his resignation, and hopes his successor will be appointed in a coupla of months, at least. He is tired of the job and begins to scont the political battle, Some of his Pittsburg friends have been urging his return, and his wife's health is not good. Besldes ho has been offered the secretary- ship of a large association with headquarters at Pittsburg. His Birmingham berth is worth $4,000 a year salary, and fees, Fallure of a Reform Church, There is an American movement here called the Reformed Episcopal church, Dr. Alfred Spencer Richardson says he is one of 1ts bishops, and descrioes himself as a clerk 1n holy orders, holding the degree of D, D, from _the University of New sruns- wick. It is insolvent, and in the hands of an oficial receiver. Dr.® Richardsou was the minister and pro- prietor of Christ church, St. John's Wood, Last November he contracted to sell the church for £1,400 and attributes his lnsolv- enocy to the failure of the purchaser to carry out the terms of the agreement. The liabili- ties are £1,801. Four bundred and seventy- four pounds are expected to be realized from subscriptions, and othgr assets amounts to L7060, Richardson compounded with bhis creditors sevan years ago, General Owen Williams, prominent and influential in racing circles, will move at the spring meeting of the Jockey club that the * 8go of a horse shall be reckoned as beginning on March 1 of the year of foaling, instead of January. He will hardly succeed, as most Englishmen would at once conclude that if such & chango wero made the country would golnstantly to the dogs. The laws of the Medes aud Persians are brittle in compari- son with English racing rules, Sermon in Lieu of Ceremony, ‘This was to have been the wedding day of the dukeof Clarence. In lieu of a wedding coremony there was a sermon over the dead prince in the Albert chapel at Windsor, the queen attendiug.

He s convinced that a man can live cheaper at Delmonico’s than at most of the London hotels or restaurants. 1 mot him to- day coming out of tho Grand Hotel grill room, which s considerod roasonable a3 re- gards pricos, Genoral Sheridan thought that it was oxhorbitant and highor than that of most first class New York and Wash- ington restaurants, Improved on “Um-ta-ra-ra," London has gone stark mad over the re- frain of a music hall song called “Ta-ra-ra boom-de-ra.”” It has bocome a hideous night] mare, Everywhore, from Belgravia avd Mayfairto Houndsditeh and W hitechapal, in drawiog rooms and hovels, onc hears ‘“ra-ra-ra boom-de-ra?’ and there is havdiy a theater in London in which tho refrain 1s not alluded to at least once during the night, oven at the ultra-fashionablo porformances of Mr. Osear Wilde's play at the St. James theater. The other night ono of tho actors, who could not resist the orazo, cried out, ““Ta-ra a-ra boom-de-ra,” and con- vulsea the audience.

Docobain’s case lacked notbing to make it detastable in the eyes ofall mankind. Revolt- ing in itself, he mado 1t worse by the relig- ious hypocrisy ho associated with it. His victims were attendants at his bible class, and the scoundrel himsell never failed to b present at the private prayer meetings which sometimes wero held in a room in the House of Parliament. In expelling him the members felt they had gotten vid of one of the worst men that ever smuggled themselves into Parhament. It was, however, characteristic o the singu- larly looso managemeat of the house under Balfour that tho resolution for expulsion was drawn in such bad English that whea soms corrections were moved by Sexton, the house accopted them with huwmnli Au Irish member was obligad to put iato proper shape an important resolution drawa by the phil- osophic Balfour. It cannot be denied that tho new leader has thus far falled to grasp the situation. He was quitc athomein dealing with the nationalists, for practice had him perfect, but his’ new posttion calls for totally differont qualities and theso ho has not yet shown. His cynical, indifferent air and irregular at- tendance in his placo aanoy the house. s reputation at this moment is trombling in the balauce, and the past week's work has by no meaus tended to save it. ther Bothered the Government, Statements made in tho report of the United States immigration commissioners excited the utmost astonishment here. One has already teen made the subject of a ques- tion in the House of Commons, and another will be brought forward Monday. The alle- gation that there are 22,000,000 acres of pro- ductive land )ying 1dle appears to have been borrowed from the report of 1705. Before enclosures had been mado the English com- missioners adopted this ancient report with- outinguiry. The minister of agricuiture has explained that there 1s uothing like that quantity of uncultivatea land in Groat Britain. ‘The question to bo asked Monday relates to the still more astounding statement that there is a systematic exportation of convicts from this country to the United States, known, encouraged and patrouized by the government of Great Britain, It is necaless to say that this movement of convicts is purely imaginary, and the govornment will give the most empnatic contradiction to the statoment. On Monday, Minister Pauncefote, also, will be requested totake representations to the secretary of state on the subject of the whole report of the commissionors, Fairly repre- sented by these samples, the document wiil have to be classed with ‘‘Munchausen’s Travels.” Some money is beginning to dribble in from the United States towards the Irish elec- tioneering fund, and not before it was needed. Both sections will claim it, and the donors might do worse than to indicate which of the Simon pure Irish parties is to have 1t, to guard against further disturb- ances, Gladst one Is Needed, The pationalists are more active in Parlia ment than the Parnellites, because they are more numerous and bave a larger number of experienced parliamentary pards among them, but Johu Redmond will not strike the Parnellite flag. Tbe influence of this split on the elections in English boroughs, where the Iriah vote is important, caunot fail to be momentous, Gladstone is expected to put in an appear- ance Monday or Tuesday. Justas ho was on the point of arrival the bitter east winds set in, and his friends are not without anxiety on his behalf, If he could be regular in attendanco this session and exercise his full force, he would probably be able to scat- ter Balfour and the conservatives, who are marching in very loose order, but at the best be can only be avajjable for great occasions, He canuot sit and watch, night after night, for blunders which’ would undo the ministry suddenly. At present the probabilities are that Lord Salisbury will contrive to hold on till June, and then have a dissolution, A MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT, _— TOUK SILVER FOR HIS TOPIC, Address of Mr, St. John at the Chlcago Baukers Club's Dinner, Cuicaan, 1L, Feb, 27.— A notable affair soclially, and one likely to prove memorable in political and financial circles, was the annual dinner of the Chicago Bankers cluo tonight ut Kinsley’s. An even three score of guests, lncluding not a few of the leaders in western mouetary affairs, were present, ‘T'he feature of the occasion was a remark- able address in advocacy of the free coinage of silver, the speaker belog President Wil- liam P.

It is us equally legal tender as her gold.” Therefors Europeaus would et nothing more available as money at ome, dollar for exobange of thelr silver coin for gold.” Coutinuing, he said: ““The Bank of F'rauce receives its stock of silver like its stock of gold, as the unlimited law ful moucy of [rance, irrespective of bulliun value. As such it will liguidate thut bauk's vast liabilitios at par. Thorefore, our re- opened mints could not attractitatu dis- count. The minimum discount would be 3.06 per cent.

A discount of 5 per cent would mean a_sacrifice on tdeir account of 81 ufl,m'm in such an evidently valucless ex- ge. . World's Consumption of the Metal. Mr. St. John furnished figures of the world’s consumption of silver at present, which, including our treasury absoption, woald uppear to ba in excess of the world’s prosent praduction of silver. The available supplies in London, San Francisco and New York, ho said, wera requced from over 15,- 000,000 ounces to lass than 7,000,000 ounces, and the vesult, to date, of the first eighteen month’s operationy f our silver purchase law of 1590, Ho remgrked that this presont oxcoss of consumption over tho production of silver is in spite of fluctuations in tho price which reduced Iudia's absorption by over §17,000,000 worth of silver during nine months, "The speaker argued that the proposed fixity of price for silvor at our greal mints would 80 enlarge Iudla's absorption as 1o assura the permanency ofour law. For with 81 obtainabie for 4121 grains of standard silver inany amount oféred at our mints, no one could obtain silver ata lower price else- whore. Our vast and increasing trade use of money would furnish employment. for all the dollars of gold and silver emitted from the mints, in coin or by papar suostitute, and the parity of bullion vaiue for our gold and silver dollars would be accomplished and maintained thersby in the markots of the world. Submitted Stitistics. Mr. St. John submitted statistics showing, according to him, the inadequuey of the worid's supplies of gold for money. He cited the United States sapremo court declsions of 1570 and 1854, whicn he said confirmed tho power of congross to create aud 1ssuc monay and assume that congross will not hereafter cmploy bauks at bank profit to issue substitutes for mone; He instanced what he descrived as the pooular determinu- tion that the volume of money the United States shall not depend hereafter, as fre- quently heretoforo, on the accruing of prolits to baubs upon bank s sues of circulating notes. Hen said ho, tho two: aiternatives betw which conservatives are to choose are, first, the reopening of thoimints to equally freo coinago for gold and silver, the coin to cir- culato by paper substitute when vreferred; and second, the indeterminable issues ol treasury paper thgt:must be ivredesmable if gold is the only acceptable primary monoy. “The proposed reopening of the mints to gold andsilver alike,”” suid Mr. St. John. in conclusion, ‘‘besides anaintaining the parity of bullion value 6f our dollars, will provide an automatic isssuoof money limitea by tho mime product of hardlabor.

Groups of rowdies wora raportad to ba as- sembling in the Neuomarket and the Hacckeschomavket in Gratewog aud other centoas, chiofly in tho northera and eas! parts of the city. Along tho Unter den Lin dea and in Schloss platz quiet prev Mounted poiico were patrolling all the lead- ing thoroughfares around the schloss, and kopt tho people on the move. Patrols also occupied the market places and the streets converging upon the quarters occu- pled by the rioters. The situation scamed ndor the absoluto control of the polica uatit nightfall, when the rowldyism renewad its tussel with the authorities. The first en- counter occurred at the Hasckeschmarket. A noisy mob eraduaily assembled here after 4o'clock. Itconsisted of young working- man, who had probabiy bacome excited with beer ufter laaving their work, and largely, also, of the most rowdy eloment i Berlin. The patrols got so blocked in the masses of the crowd that thay sent for reinforcements. Then they charzed tha mob with their sabres drawn, driving thom towards Noue Fraa- eriche strasse and Orainienburger strassa, Fought With Desperate Energy. Tho soveral thousand rioters thus split up by the police tactics reassembled later on the parading streots in the northera quar- ters. Rouentha strasse became the next focus of the rioting. I'he position hers at 9 o'clock appepred to be critical. A great mass of people, many of whom were obvi- ously genuine workman, but among whom were a host of loafors, assombled in groups listening to socialist spea’sers, who violently denouncod the government, tho police, and, in fadt, everything comprising the existing order of things. . The polico made another charge on the mob aud repeatea it again and agaiu, butthocrowd, after giving way a little atcach charge, reclosed thelr ranls and fought the polica with desperate energy, using as weapons sticks, stones, heavy bil- lets of wood and anything they could lay hands upon. The police were gotting tho worst of the contest, as thoy had oaly used the flat sides of thewr swords 1n striking, but when they saw the tide of battle turning against them they did not hesitate to use the edges of their sabres, and they strack right and left, caring naught for the wounas tney inflict but de- termined to overcomo the rioters. Rioters Badly Hurt, A large number of the rioters were badly hurt, and some of the wounds inflictad by tho keen-edged sabres in the hands of the po- lice are apt to Tresult seriously. A larze number of the wounded wera taken to sur- gerles 10 the vicinity, where their injurics were attended to. By 10:30 o'clock the Rosenthal melee was over and a large number of the rioters were safo under lock and kep in the police stations of Berlin. A foature of tonight's rows has been the large increaso i the number of workingmen who were mixed up in the riot. Hitnerto the greater partof the mob con- sisted of men who wera never koown 1o work, professioual agitators and the dregs of humanity which infest the city. Tonight, however, there were many genuine working- men in the mob. These may bo attributed to the fact that toduy is pay day for mechanics, laborers, otc., and oarried away by the pro- vailing excitement and a livoral supply of money wherewith to purchase intoxicants, they were drawn 1uto the maelstrom of dis- order and when cbargad by the polics they fought as dosperately as did the others of the mob, Dificalties Encountered by the Police, The dificulries under which the police \abored were groatly added to by the streams of people who paraded the streets, not to creato any disturbance, but to watch the *fun” when it did occur. A rumor gained currency that all the un- employed of the city were to form & pro- cession and march down Friederich strasse and along the Unter den Linden. Although common reasoning powers should have shown that no such procession would be allowed, that any such idea was utterly chimerical, tens of thousands of porsons, men, women and children, gathered along the alleged routo. It is useless to say that their curiosity was not gratiied. The routes in the Haeckesche market sna in Rosenthal strasse showaed the determination of the mobs to rasist the authorities to thew utmost. Beer More Potent Than Good Advice, The advies given to the socialists by thoir organ, the Vorwaerts, does not seom to have had the excellent effect that was expected. That paper appealed to tho socialists to act in an orderly manner and to keep away from the beer shops, but the appeal fell on un- heeding ears or else the intluence of beer was more poteut than good advice, All the police available were concentrated tonight iu the northeast distriots of the city. After the fight in Rosenthal strasse serious collisions occurred in Brunnen and Frank- furter strasse, As the rioting increased the authorities issued an order calling upon the people to close their houses and to remain indoors.

The emperor's evasion of the crowd has made an unfavorablo impression m political circles, ing to tho voports of the Tn- ternational pross movements aro expected tomorrow 1n Davtszig, Breslan and Drasden. All theso towns aro in o disturbed state. It is worthy to remark that instead of bemg confined to the outlying districts, ns on former occasions, the riots now tako placo near the royal residence, This shows that the disturbances have a dise tinctly anti-monarchial character. ‘The gens eral upeusiness caused by tho news from Berlin has been increased by the announce+ ment that & great stiike is pending in Enge land and by the auticipation of disorder on May 1. For tho first timo since Prussian sovereign has beeu hooted m_ Berhin. Tho the trouble has beon aggrivated by the little” emperor's own fault. William grows miore and more uuto- cratic. The czar himself kas nover gone so far as to declaro that those who did not. lika his ways could quit. If the German malcon= tents wore to tako the e.nperdr’s hint, wa should sec an oxodus of 1,500,000 socialistis, 800,000 national liberals and 990,000 progress- i ists. Whero would William then find people to pay taxes and press into his nrmyll His Wild Talk Reealled, But there is nothing very new after all in tho theories of tho emparor. At a banquen which took place on May 5, 1890, ho sald: *f will break all who oppose me.” Oa May 4, 1891, ata banquet. in the Itavinish provinces, hesaid: “There Is ouly one master in Ger-) muny. Itis L. Noother will be permitted || to exist beside me.” In Soptomoer, 1891, again did he not writo these words in tho | Golden book at Munich: “Supreme lex regls voluntas,” and last Dacomber did he nov exe) claim: “Sie voye, sic jublec.” In these utterances wo had clear ex- pressions of the imperial will. As it is not possible to assume that William's ministers can have suggosted theso statemeuts, we aro forced o the conclusion that the emparor 18 not mentally constitutod in the same way as other people. It is generally believed | that ho is not quito sane. Ho may not ba | afflictod with folio dusjgrandeurs,but ho is ill | valanced. This fact alono is suMclently threatening to the poace of Europe, and sinoo it has boen seon that the (Garmans are not willing to approve their sovereigu's| course, the danger has grown urgent. Signlficance of ths Mob's Howl, History tells us that whenever an absplute monarch has felt his peoplo slippiug from bis grasp, he has sought a diversion in war. William would fain be absolute, His poopia protest. Itis thus bard to see how war can be evaded. The hisses of the Berlin popu: lace may soms day ve found to have changed the whole aspect of nflairs 1 the world, It can scarcely be conceded, by the bye, that only unemployed workingmen are tak- ing part in the Borlin domonstrations. Among the rioters are many dubious char- acters, who ure invariably mixed up in sueh riots.
