WASHINGTON, Feb. 28.—The senate ap- propriations committee has concluded its con- sideration of the naval appropriation bill.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 28.—The president has signed the following bills: The post- office appropriation bill; amending section 4434 of the Hevised Statutes, relating to steam boilers of ocean steamers or vessels navigating the Red River of the North or rivers flowing Into the Gulf of Mexico and AMERICAN MEATS ABROAD England Takes by Far the Greater Portion and is Batisfied, TR/DZ WITH OTHER COUNTRIES SMALL France Comes Second with a Growing Busi- ness Up to the Time of the Prohibition ~Cry of Unhealthfulness Comes from the Land Owners. WASHINGTON, Feb. 28.—Secretary Mor- ton, at the request of the Associated press, makes the following statement regarding the meat trade of the United States with certain forelgn countries: “Our export beet s of such a high quality that a parliamentary committee In England in 1893 reported that in some of the most fashfonable and aristocratic mar- kets in London it was frequently sold as ‘prime Scotch and English meat.’ In fact, the committee sald that in some of the large meat selling establishments In the aris- tocratic west end of London there was prac- tically no other than American meat sold. Yet it s called ‘English’ and ‘Scotch.’ The prices of American dressed beef per 100 pounds at the London Central market on De- cember 31, 1804, were as_ follows: American beet, killed in England, $10.12% to $10.87% per 100 pounds; refrigerator American beef, $11.12 to $12.12% per 100 pounds for hind quarters; for fore quarters, $7.50 to $8.00. The United Kingdom of Great Britaln re- celved during the first nine months of 1894 305,010 beef cattle from the United States and paid $26,500,000 for the same. “During the same year Great Britain took 3,246,000 pounds of bacon from the United States at a valuation of $26,800,000. For the nine months ending September 30, 1801, the United States exported into the kingdom of Great Britain 222,675,000 pounds of bacon, as against 179,000,000 pounds during the cor- responding months of 1893. Thus it is ob- served that the bacon trade between the United States and Great Britain was In- creased about 45,000,000 pounds during the year 1894. GERMAN TRADE SMALL. “During the year 1804 Germany took from the United States altogether of live cattle up to the close of December 31 only 6,108 head. Belgium took during the same period of time of live cattle 4,633 head, while France consumed in American cattle in the same period 13,441 head. From January 1, 1895, to February 19, 1895, the date of the last report made to the United States Department of Agriculture, France had taken 13,335 head of live cattle. During the calendar year 1894 France took of American beef, saltéd and canned, 7,763,370 pounds, at a valuation of $621,682. ' During the same period of the same kind of beef Germany took $992,757 worth. * During the six months ending De- cember 31 Germany took of pork products 9,431,635 pounds and France received from the United States of the same products in the same time 3,903,704 pounds. “The meat producers of the United States send only the very best grades of live cat- tle and dressed and cured meats to the Eu- ropean markets. It is claimed by the United States dealers in meats that all the hue and cry against the edibleness of American meats and all the charges against the sani- tary condition of American live cattle sent abroad are inspired by the land owning pro- tectionists of Germany and France. They de- sire, It is said, to make cattle and meat higher in the German and Frenich markets by making cattle and beet scarcer. The herds of cattle and swine, in fact all the domestic animals of the United States, are In splendid sanitary condition. There has nov been a case of pleuro-pneumonia in any cf the United States or territorles during the last three years. There is no contagious, in- fectious or communicable disease now preva- lent among the domestic animals in any state or territory of the union. There has not been and there will not be shipped to any European port any animal or the products of any animal which has not been inspected and declared healthy, wholesome and edible. The United States will continue to furnish all meatless Europe with the best and cheap- est pork in the world.” PROSPECTS IOR SILVER ABROAD. Senators Divided as tn the Importance of Events In'Europe. WASHINGTON, Feb. 28.—The members of the senate are not so much concerned with domestic legislation as to preclude their g:v- ing careful attention to the. movement In Europe for another internaticnal conference looking to the rehabilitation of siiver. The success of Mr. Everett’s resolution in the British House of Commons was a_pleasant surprise to a largo majority of the senators. The more extreme silver men go further than the senators who advocate international bi- metallism only, and still contend that the United States need not walt upon any other government, but a majority of them compre- hend so thoroughly that if an agreement can be arranged it will at ons stroke remove all their difficulties; that they, too, anpreciate the improved prospects abroad whife still contend- ing for independent action by the United States. Very few of the senators, of whatever views ‘on the silver question, were prepared for the action of the British Parliament, for they had not cousidered that the present government would consant to another confer- once, but now that the Everett resolution has been adopted some of them interpret it to Indicate that resistance to it would have meant the downfall of the present administra- tion, Hence they find especial encouragement in the inference that the British nation is be- hind the official action of its legislature. In view of these facts they regard the confer- ence as an assured fact and the cpinion ig al- most uniform that th> result of Its proceadings must be far more satisfactory to the advan- tages of bimetallism than the Brussels con- ference. Senator Sherman s one of the sen- ators, however, who consider it still doubtful whether anything will b2 accomplished In the Interest of silyer. Senator Teller, represent- ing probably the cther extreme in the sen- ate, expresses doubt whether England will consent to a modificalion of her currency sys- tem, but he thinks that other nations, euch as France and Germany, may make a change which is more, ho says, than has heretofore been expected. Senators Allison, Platt, Chandler and Hill and others regard the adoption of the resolution as a most propitious omen. Senator’ Allison, who was a member of the Brussels conference, expressed the opinion that England would make important concessions In case of another conference, SUFFERERS FROM IRRIGATION. Mexicans Want t# Water that is Used In Colorado and New Mexico. WASHINGTON, Feb. 28.—Charles K. Wesche, acting United States consul at Paso del Norte, Mexico, has told, in a pathetic way, through a report to the State depart- ment, of the sufferings of the people of that section through the drouth brought on by the diversion of the waters of the Rio Grande by the agriculturists of Colorado and New Mexico. He recalls the fact that Mexico, by treaty, consented to an equal share with the United States of the waters of this river, and shows how a vast tract of Mexican land, which formerly produced great crops, is now barren as a result of the operations of the irrigation companies in the upper river and tributaries in Coloradd and New Mexico. Attention is called to the recommendation of President Cleveland that a “mixed commission be created with power to bulld a great reservoir at Paso del Norte to store the winter flood waters for use in irrigating the lands on the lower river, which for ten years has been made dry every summer." Are Giood. WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.—General Ruger, commanding the Department of Missouri, has made a careful inquiry into the com- plaints that have appeared from time to {ime of the Insuficent and bad quality ot the mess supplies at Kort She near Chicago, and he has reported to General Schofield that there is no foundation for the charges which have been put afloat by a few of the discontented spirits found at every army post Appropriations for the Dakotas.

WASHINGTON, ~ Jeb. 28 —Complaint agalnst the present system of divorce laws was the burden 8Ftoday's session of the National Council of Whmen. The entire day was devoted to th# théme, and a number of interesting addresses:were delivered before a crowded hall. The discussion was led by the official report of thei common divorce re- form, read by Chairman Bottelle Dietrick of Massachusetts. It embodied responses re- celved from a number of state governors who were asked to call the attention of the legis- latures to the status of the divorce laws, and to appoint a committee to consist of an equal number of men and women to consider the matter. The question, the report said, was one vitally concerning the happiness and wel- fare of a great many people, of whom half are of the female sex, and added: ‘“‘Womo! should thoughtfully consider the significance of the fact that 81 per cent of the maseuline servants of the people .make no response to this just request of representative women Only “two, Governor Greenhalge of Massa- chusetts, and Governor Brown of Rhode Island, promise to do all in thelr power to arry out the request. The governor of South Carolina wrote that that state had no divorce laws, and its people were better satisfied than their neighbors whose states have divorce laws. The report said that the fact that twenty-three states have appointed bodies of men to tinker with divorce laws without ap- pointing any women, ought to show women in what estimation the men of the United States hold their opinions. That officials serving the Interests of the United States cherish frank contempt for woman's opinions and wishes was the conclusion expressed in the report. Mrs. Blizabeth B. Grannis of New York, president of the National Uivilization league, for the promotion of social purity, advocated a universal marriage and divorce law through- out the federal government, recognizing no divorce except for adultery. Miss Harriet A. Shinn of Tllinofs, delegate of the National Association of Women of American Liberty, made a plea for the chil- dren, who were the greatest sufferers from the unwritten laws of society and for the creation of broader and truer public senti- ment in favor of those whose domestic life is 50 unhappy and unwholesome as to render a legal separation imperative. She held as unchristian the attitude of some of the re- ligious denominations on the subject. Par- ties to an unhappy contract are entitled to relief on their own account, but the presence of children makes it necessary for them to be removed to a purer atmosphere than that which surrounds them where love is un- known. The only court, she concluded, that adjudicates the spiritual rights of the child is public sentiment. DEPOSITS IN NATIONAL BANKS, Secretary Carlisle Sends a Report Concern- ing Them to the Senate. WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.—Replying to a resolution of the senate, the secretary of the treasury sent fo the senate a com- munication giving, the,names of the national banks which are Anu)‘_ave been for the past years acting as deposftories for the public moneys, In which”He takes occasion to refer to explain the system of deposits adopted in making the Fécént sale of bonds. He says: “The special désigns of the banks to recefve deposits en-account of recent pur- chases of gold coj to be paid for in United States 4 per cent' tlifrty-year bonds werc similar to those miadeé’by former administra- tions under like(cirqumstances, and were made with a view {o preventing the monetary disturbances which'a transaction of such mag- nitude might induce,’ The government is secured in its transaction by the fact that no payment in bonds in any case is to be made by the depaftihent until after the banks' shail - have:, transferrell 'to the sub- treasury a proper amaunt of gold coin.” The statement shows the average balance sheet by the depositories on June 30 each year for the past ten years to have been 322,252,000, The amount held on the 30th of June last was $10,638,528. The smallest amount reported was for 1893, when it was $10,177,287, and the largest for 1888, when it was $54,013,480. The secretary says the department is not .authorized by law (o charge interest on these.deposits, and no interest has been pald on them. All moneys to the credit of the treasurer of the United States with these depositories are subject at any time to his drafts. ACCUSED TAYLOR OF IMMORALITY. Recorder of Deeds Sus the Editor of a Colured Man's Journal for Libel WASHINGTON, Feb. 28.—A case now being tried in the criminal court, in which C. H. J. Taylor, the colored recorder of deeds: for the District of Columbia, charges William: Calvin Chase, editor of the Bee, a weekly publication read chiefly by the colored pop- ulation of this city, with criminal libel, has brought out considerable sensational testi- mony: There was published in the Bee on January 6 an article charging Taylor with gross misuse of the appointing power at- tached to his office, with collecting political assessments from the colored .men of the Distr ct employed by the government, and with personal Immorality and improper relations with scme of the female employes of his office. The charges were made in the course of the bitter fight which has been made against Taylor since his appointment. Taylor had Chase arrested for criminal libel, and the case now being tried s the result. Several WILSON SUCCEEDS BISSELL Faithfalness of the West Virginian to the Administration Rewarded, CLEVELAND TAKES HIM INTO HIS CABINET Tariff Leader and Chairman of tho Ways nd Means Committee Nominated for tor General thing of Mis Carcer. WASHINGTON, Feb. 28.—The president has nominated William L. Wilson of West Vir- ginla to succced Wilson S. Bissell as post- master general, Senator Vilas, as chairman of the com- mittee on postofficas and post roads, instead of calling a meeting of the committee tu consider Mr. Wilson's nomination, polled unanimous favorable secure an consent to make a effort was mad: to ccutive sesslon for the immediate consid- eration of the nomination, but owing to the fact that some of the senators declared they would insist that the nomination should take the usual course and be one executive session and lie over to the next, this plan was abandoned. The con firmation will be made at the next exceutive sesslon. When Representative Wilson was told by a reporter of the Associatel press that his nomination was sent to the senate today he spoka freely on the fact that he had known for several days of the president’s intention. Being somewlat run down in health and wearled from his work in congress Mr. Wilson will rest for some time, probably a month, before assuming the duties of his new office Part of his vacation will be passed in We:t Virginia and part of it in visiting elsewhere. Senator Faulkner of West Virginia was presiding over the senate when the nomina- tion of Mr. Wilson was presented to the senate. Mr. Fauikner sald the appointment was splendid and could not be better. He was pleased to seo West Virginia so recog- and so ably represented in the cabinet. Senctor Voorhees and Senator Vilas also spoka highly of the appointment. Senators report, An Vilas Mitchell of Oregon, members of thy postofice committee, sald they expected | to sec the appointment confirmed at the first on without going over a day, the usual custom. Wilson remained in the committee room for some timo after his nomination had been sent to the senate, and many members found him and offered their congratulations. WILSON'S PUBLIC CAREER. William L. Wilson is best known to the country In connection with his recent tarift work in congress. He has peen a tarif student_since ho first entered congressional lifo in 1882, but it was not until the present congress that he became chalrman of the ways and means committee, and as such, tho official leader of the majority of the house. Prior to his first election to congress in 1882 he had taken little part in politics, ex- cept in being a delegate to the democratic national convention at Cincinnatl and sub- sequently an elector-at-large from West Vir- ginia. Barly in 1882 he was chosen presi- dent of the University of West Virginia, This would have fixed Mr. Wilson’s sphere of work had it not been for a political ruption and a party split at his home at Charleston, W. Va., which was settled by the opposing factions’ uniting on Mr. Wilson. The cam- paign was a hot one. Mr. Wilson finally won by nine votes. He was then re-elected to six successive congresses. He recelved good committee assignments from the first, going on the judiciary, appropriations and ways and means. His experience shortly after the war as a professor of law in Col- umblan college equipped him for the work on the judiclary committee. In the four congressional eras of recent tarift changes— the Morrison bill, the Mills bill, the McKinley bill and the Wiison bill—Mr. Wilson took a leading part. He did much of the work of constructing tho Mills bill and he and Rep- resentativo Breckinridge started on a suc- cessful tour of platform speeches throughout tho cast, endorsing President Cleveland's tariff revision message. During the Mills- Crisp contest for the speakership Mr. Wil- son cast his lot with Mr. Mills, and when Mr. Crisp won he designated Mr. Springer chairman of the ways and means committec. When re-elected speaker, however, Mr. Crisp named Mr. Wilson chairman of the ways and means, and in this capacity ho framed the message which was the basis of the present tarlff law. Tho fact that President Cleveland intended to_appoint Mr. Wilson to the position has been known for several days to tho most in- timato friends of Mr. Wilson and to Mr. Wilson himself. ~ The selection is one which the president made of his own motton without any urging from Mr. Wilson's friends, and largely in recognition of the service in the tarift fight in the house. No member has been on more Intimate terms with the presi- dent than was the chairman of the ways and means committee and his speeches in the housd -have always been understocd to voice the opinion of the administration. It was noted yesterday that Mr. Wilson's zpeech upon the amendment to the postoffice appro- priation bill to compel railway mail clerks to live at tho end of their respective routes— perhaps the last speech ho will make as a congressman—was an earnest plea to con- gress to support the postmaster general. No man in congress has a greater personal popularity among members of both parties thou Mr. Wilson. In executive session tcday the nomination of William L., Wilson to be postmaster gen- eral was relerred to the committee on post- offices and post roads and immediately r ported back favorably, but no action wa taken, because the Sioux Falls postmastership stood at the head of the list, and senatcrs interested in this would not allow any action until this was disposed of. An agreement was reached that an exzcutive session be women formerly employed n the recorder's office have testified that Taylor made improper proposals to them, and that- their refusal of hla demands was followed by dismissal. The government, on cross-examination, brought out testimony tending to impeach the character of several of the witnesses produced by the defens Demnnd for Amerioan 1i0rses n England. WASHINGTON, Feb, 28.—Secretary Mor- ton has reecived reports In regard to the demand for American horses in the United Kingdom. This report shows that 15,000 to 25,000 are imported annually into that coun try, most of which have in the past com from the continent of Burope, During the last three years, however, some of the de- mand has been met by United States and Canadian supplies.

Extending the Invalid Pensions. WASHINGTON, Feb. 28.—Representative Baker of Kansas has reported to the house the invalid pension bill extending the pro- visions of the act of June 27, 1890, to the Eighteenth and Nineteenth regiments of Kan- sas cavalry volunteers. These organizations back in the 60's were called out to ald in the suppression of Indian hostilities, and they were composed largely of men whose homes had been devastated and families murdered by the Indlans in their raids on the frontier settlements. The services rendered by them the committee' says, were of a very excep- tional eharacter, and the results of the same have been widespread and beneficent, President Vetoes Two Raliroads, WASHINGTON, Feb. 28—The president has sent to the housa his veto of two bills granting rights of way through Indian Te ritory to the Arkansas & Northwestern rail- road and the Oklahoma Central raliroad, Letirament of Admira) Greer.
