THE RECORD-UNION. VOLUME LXXXI.--NO. 24. WHOLE _S.O. 15,422. SACRAMEKTO, SATURDAY MORNING, MARCH 21, 1891. LAWRENCE BARRETT. Sudden Death of the Tragedian at a New York Hotel. HEART DISEASE THE CAUSE OF HIS DEMISE. Interesting Point Raised in a Trial ln Xew Tork—The Defendant's Coun- sel Claims that the Law Does Not Provide <_gr/alnst Chinese Coming Into This Country lv Kow-boats. Special tothe Record-Unio.-. New York, March 20,—Lawrence Bar- rett, the tragedian, died this morning at the Windsor Hotel, of heart failure. He was unconscious but a short time before hi> death. His wife and Dr. Chambers, of this city, were with Mr. Barrett when he | breathed his last. His last sickness dated from Wednesday night, when he was obliged to leave the theater hero where ; he was engaged. It was said at that time \ that he was merely suffering from a se- i vere cold, and the same report was made the following day. Even yesterday the reports from the sick chamber were very favorable. This evening Dr. Chambers called at the Windsor Hotel at 9 o'clock to see the patient, and, shortly after, an- nounced that he would remain all night. Death occurred at 10:45. Heart failure, th.* physician declared, was the cause of death. [Mr. Barrett was born in Paterson, N. J., on April 4, lHiis. His first appearance on the stage was in Detroit iv ISS-. as Murad in "The French Spy." After a year's experience in minor parts, he spent a short season in Pittsburg. He then acted in St. Louis, Chicago and else- where until I_so, when he was engaged at the Chambers-street Theater. New York, where he appeared in the "Hunchback." Fr* .in thero ho went to Boston. On the outbreak of the civil war, in 1801, Mr. Barrett accepted a Captaiucy in the Twenty-eighth Massachusetts Infantry. and served with distinction. Afterward he returned to tho stage and acted throughout the principal cities. He played with success in San Francisco in 1867, where he remained as manager of the California Theater until IS7O, when he went to New York and appeared with Booth in opposite parts. In 1875 he played at Booth's Theater, New York, in "Julius Ca'sar." Later he produced "Yorick's Love" and "Francesca di Rimini,'' in both of which he was very successful. He made several visits to England, where he also met withsuccess. During the season of 1889 Mr. Barrett \ isi ted California with Edwin Booth and appeared two nights in this city, at the Metropolitan Theater. —Eds.] Dr. Chambers says that on Wednesday Barrett had a cold, and when he returned home from the theater was seized with a severe chill. The next day symptoms of pneumonia appeared, and a consultation was held by Drs. Chambers, Wallker and Dr. Oliver of Boston. Mrs. Barrett was also summoned. At the consultation the • rise was diagnosed, and a grave phase of pneumonia and complications made it serious, as for two years Barrett has been a sufferer from throat disease. Between 5 and 10 this evening thore was a rapid change for the worse, and \u25a0when the consultation was held the sick man was only semi-conscious. For fif- teen to twenty minutes before he died he was wholly unconscious. Barrett has two daughters, now in Europe. The funeral will probably take place in Boston. Edwin Boolh was at the Players' Club in bed when notified of the death. He was deeply affected. RECONCILED. The American Association Returns to the Fold. New York, March 20.—The following was printed here this morning: The American Association and National League arc reconciled. The Association has agreed to come back under the pro- tection of the national agreement. Tliese facts were discovered late yesterda}'. The immediate cause of their disclosure was a dispatch received by the director of the New York Club, staling that Allen Thur- man had resigned the chairmanship of the National Board, and that Nick Young had been elected in his place. It devel- opes last evening that Thurman's retire- ment had been planned some time ago. Byrne. Doyle and Abell, of the Brooklyn Club, have been particularly active in effecting a reconciliation. The Associa- tion people refused to treat withThunnan, which is the cause of his retirement. What made tho League folks particularly anxious for a reconciliation with the As- nociation was the discovery that League complications were sure to result in Cin- cinnati. The League meu discovered that Johnson does not control as much stock in the Cincinnati Club as they thought he did. Ho only controls it with the assist- ance of the Boston. Chicago and Phila- delphia contingents. NKW POINT RAISED. Doc- the Law Prohibit Chinese Com- ine by Row Boat rr" L'tica (N. V.l, March 20.—1n the trial of James A. Miller, alias James Mul- doon. for smuggling Chinamen into this country, is now In progress before I'nited States District Judge Coxe, of this city, attorney DeAngelis, who was assigned to defend the prisoner, raised an inter- esting point to-day. The Chinamen came to this country by rowboat across the Niagara river. "The statute provides that it is a misdemeanor to aid or abet a Chinese person to enter the I'nited States by land, or to aid or abet any such to laud from a vessel. De Angelis argued, and the Govern- ment admitted, that a rowboat was not a vessel within the meaning of the statute. De Angelis argued that the coming by a rowiioat could not be construed to mean coming by land. The effect of this construction of the statute would enable Chinamen to come to this country by rowboats. The court held "for the present he would hold the statute broad enough to cover coming to this country by whatever means., and promised to give the question further consideration, and change his ruling if wrong. FREE COINAGE. Senator Cary of Wyoming Expresses nis Views on the Question. New York, March 20th.—Senator Cary of Wyoming is spending a few days in this city on his way home from Washing- ton "The so-called free-coinage craze in the West has been very largely exagger- ated," said the Senator. "The great mass of the clear-headed and conservative ele- ment is in favor of giving the present law a thorough trial, believing that it will meet fully the business requirements of the country. The Western people do not believe the Government may place its stamp upon a piece of metal and make it worth its face value. The thoughtful businessman believed in sound money as much as his brother in the East; only the West believes in the larger circulat- ing medium. The talk of some Repub- lican silver Senators about their constitu- ents wanting to form an alliance with the South in order to secure free coinage is idle. The people West know it is to the Northwest that they have to look when they need financial aid. I think Presi- dent Harrison will be renominated. No man unsound on the money question has been elected President, or ever will be. General Harrison's financial views are a great source of strength." Death Valley. Kansas City, March 20.—J. Clory. of the Signal Service here, started last even- for California, under orders from head- quarters. He is directed to proceed to Death Valley, in the southwestern part of the California Desert, and make a minute study of the atmospheric* conditions and Ehenomena. The Signal Service has long een endeavoring to collect statistics re- garding Death Valley, but on account of the supposed ereat danger of residence there has never ordered any one to make an investigation. Clory volunteered, and his services have been accepted. There in solitude, save for occasional visits of messengers from Keeler, Inyo county, sixty miles from tho desert's edge, who will bring him food and water. Clory will look after the duties assigned him. Small-pox in St. Louis. St. Louis, March 20.—Thirteen cases of small-pox have already developed in the City Hospital from contagion with men taken down with it last week. To-day ono of the prisoners in the City Work- house developed the disease. All the in- mates have been exposed. Every pre- caution is being taken to prevent its spreading. Dompsey and Prltchard. New York, March 80.—A cablegram to the Police Gazette from London, says that the Peli.an Club has offered a purse of £600(bra tight betweeu 'fed. Pritchard and Jack Dempsey, allowing Dempsey £100 for expenses. Labor Troubles. Boston, March 20.—A call signed by Samuel Gompers, President of the Amer- ican Federation or Labor Unions of America, urges the necessity of immedi- ate contribution to funds ior loO.lK>L» coal miners, whose straggle for eight hours a day is to begin May Ist. Three Chlldrod Drowned. Birmingham (Ala.), March 20.—While crossing the river in a wagon the vehicle was overturned and the wife and three children of Isaac Byford, a farmer, were thrown into the water. The children were drowned. La (.rlppe in Pittsburg. PiTTsnctUi, March 20.—La grippe is epidemic in Pittsburg and fully 4,0(>0 cases have been reported. The disease is far more acute than before known here. Murder and Suicide. St. Albany (X. H.). March 20.—F. T. Harding, aged 22 years, and the husband of a dissolute woman, to-day shot her dead and then killed himself. "Walking-.Match Scores.

Resolutions Denouncing the Now Orloans Tragedy and Demand- ing Reparation. Special to the Bkcord-Union. New York, March 20.—Cooper Union was packed with r.,000 Italians of New York and vicinity to-niglit, called to- gether to denounce last Saturday's tragedy in New Orleans, and outside, notwith- standing a drizzling rain, more than as many more were unable to gain entrance to the hall. Shortly before 0 o'clock a crash outside was heard, the doors broke down, and a number of persons were in- jured in the rush. One hundred and fifty policemen were kept busy. The presiding officer was A. Do Angelo. The speeches were nearly all in Italian, and the denunciations of the New (Means tragedy almost terrifying in their vehem- ence. To nacify the crowd without, it waa addressed from the balcony by a number of speakers. When President DoAngolo stepped to the front of the platform and rapped for order, then; was a lull in the noise of tin* hall, lie said, quietly and impressively, "Italians." Then a roar of "Bravo!" burst from thousands of Italian throats. The applause was resistless in its vehe- mence for fully five minutes, and soil was through tlie meeting. Every man was excited to the highest pitch. But a word seemed necessary to transform im into a throng of demons. Thecom- ttee in charge seemed to realize this, I took every precaution to avert any <ear the close of the meeting, when the olutions were being read, several pr- ism different parts ofthe hall arose I asked to be allowed to speak. These [nests were refused by toe Chairman. c men who wanted to speak then ap» ded to their fellows, asking il ihey meant lo sit there inactive, and urging them to act aud revenge the wrongs done in New Orleans. The instant they began to talk in this way prominent men on the platform urged the audience to be quiet Meanwhile the police had taken the riot inciters in hand, and hustled them out of lt was a critical moment, and the lead- ing men of the meeting acted none too soon. They admitted after the meeting that had they allowed anyone of thos,* in the audience to have Spoken f.ir live minutes, bloodshed would have followed. as the men present would have been so wrought up they wonld have started a riot without knowing why. Dr. Asetta, iuj his speech, said the massacre was a deed not done by the American people, but by villains." He condemned the French press for their hostile attitude, and criticised their at- tempts to justify the massacre. The French were their worst enemies, and if a war broke out the French would not be Resolutions deploring and denonneing the tragedy, and demanding reparation, were passed aud ordered sent to Presi- dent Harrison and Italy's Premier. Rome, March 20. —It is semi-officially denied that sealed orders were sent to the Italian squadron in consequence of the lynching of the eleven Italian prisoners at New Orleans on Saturday last. MEF.TINIi AT PITTSBURG. Pittseuro, March 20. —A general mass meeting of Italian residents in this city was held at Turner Hall to-night. Tho place holds 3.000 people and was crowded to the doors. Several representative merchants addressed the crowd in both Italian aud American, and their remarks were evenly tempered, but severe in de- nunciation of the action of the New Or- The speakers counseled quiet and ob- servance of the laws of their adopted country by all means, but it was_ noted that a resolution fiercely condemning the "murderers of our New Orleans broth- ers," etc., and asking the United States Government to punish the "perpetrators of the outrage" were carried with a vehe- mence that waa unanimous. FOREIGN AFFAIRS. Newfoundland Will Resist Enforce- ment of the Maritime Law. SAD SCENES AT THE FUNERAL OF THE UTOPIA VICTIMS. Michael Davltt Classes Parnell's Chal- lenge to Resign and Kun Against Heaiy iv the City of Cork as Only a BlulT, and Says Parnell Has Xo In- tention of l.cslgnlii_r His Seat in Parliament. Special to the Uecoud-Union. London. March 20.—The rail Mall Ga- zette to-day gives groat prominence to a communication from a gentleman who occupies a position of influence in New- foundland, and who is now in this city. In this communication the Newfound- lander declares that any attempt on tho part of the Imperial Government to en- force the maritime law in Newfoundland will bo resisted, adding, "'The Tories cannot come the Trafalgar-square busi- ness over us." At the conclusion of a long leading editorial upon the subject, the Pall Mall Gazette says tliat unless something is done to bring about rap- prochement beween the colonies and the Colonial oilice, we may find tho New- foundland kettle of fish go the way of the Boston packets of ten. London, Manh 20. —In the Commons to-day a dispatch from St. Johns, X. F.. was read. It transmits to the Imperial Government resolutions adopted by the Colonial Legislative, requesting England to delay any coercive legislation until the colony had been heard in its defense. Lord Knutatbrd's bill revives the Crown's authority to instruct naval offi- cers to enforce the treaties of I'trecht, Versailles and Paris, securing lishing rights to France. T h<* clause provides that if the Colonial Legislature supplies the necessary powers to secure the per- formance of treaties upon the interna- tional arrangement before the bill is passed the bill will be suspended. A CRAVE (ji'ESTION. [Copyrighted, 1891,hy N. Y. Associated Press.] LONDON, March 20. —The gravity oftho Newfoundland question ionly begins to dawn uioii the country. In yesterday evening's debate in the House of Lords the leaders, on both sides avoided, as far as possible, touching the probable com- jplications endangering the peace ofthe empire, yet could not avoid imparting tho impression that developments are likely which may give rise to serious troble. Lord Salisbury, in the gravest of ministerial deliverances, weighing every word with care, admitted that it was dif- ficult to look without grave apprehension to the future, in view of the strong feel- ing in France against the slightest relax- tion of even the most extreme and un- reasonable ol her claims. Lord Salisbury refrained from disclos- ing what inducements would Ik* offered to France to consent to an arrangement satisfactory to Newfoundland. He was equally reticent on the question whether armed coercion would be used to enforce the Knutsford bill. The island, he said has been the sport of historic misfortune. It was an Illustration of the continuity of history. These phrases recall tho speeches on the same sido which have preluded the worst forms of Irish oppression. The debate has profoundly agiuited the mem- bers of the Commons. The tenor of the communications exchanged to-day by tho leading Liberals points to strenuous opposition on behalf of the Newfound- land Government, and had Hennessy made his threatened motion to adjourn, to challenge the Government policy, he would have had a following sufficiently strong to show the Government's opinion of Parliament setting against the bill as too stringent a measure. Hennessy was induced to defer his mo- tion until Smith makes his promised Statement on Monday. The lobby forecasts to-night agree that the Government will pause until tiie delegates coming from Newfoundland have hrrd a chance to be heard. Lord lvnutsford's bill revives the Crown's authority to instruct the naval officers t.> enforce the treaties of I treeht, Versailles and Paris, securing the fishing rights to France. The bill provides for its own suspension, if the Newfoundland Legislature passed measures necessary to secure a modus Vivendi. The Liberals willadvise the delegates to accede to this, I promising to support the colony in de- manding that the lmal _eUlemeut should include a withdrawal ofthe French from the Newfoundland coast. I The Spt'iikci „in its issue to-morrow, ill rellcci general feeling in saying it Quid relieve bushels of embarrassment the Newfoundlanders shipped their overnor aboard a mail boat and hauled >wn the union jack. If they did this icy would likely tind the people of the mted States pause before accepting as i audition to the republic a burden ith the hostility of France. IRELAND'S CAUSE. avitt Refers Contemptuously to Par- noll"*. Talk ol" lteslKiiliip:. London, March 20.—Michael Davitt, in an interview with the Associated Press correspondent to-day, contemptuously referrs to what he classes Parnell's blulf. Davitt said he did not intend to be a can- didate for election in the division of Cork City, which Parnell now represents. Davitt added, that two reasons caused bim to make this decision. "The lirst," said he, "is that Parnell willnot resign, for he knows that if he does resign he v. ill be beaten, should he come forward for election. The second reason is, that I am not anxious to enter Parliament now, or in the future, though I am unwilling to bind myself to remain in this frame of mind for all time. The Parneliites ar- ranged a meeting at Cork for St. Patrick's 1 lay, when, according to custom, all socie- ties marched through the streets. Par- nell, seeing a great stir, was induced to issue his challenge to Heaiy. He is now anxious to back out." Referring to Parnell's delegation to the United States, Davitt said : "The gentle- men composing Mr. Parnell's deputation to the United States estimate that 'JO per cent, of the Irish-Americans are support- ing Parnell. This is a great exaggeration; the number should be nearer "_ per cent. By far the greatest numlier of Irishmen in England are against Parnell. My ad- vice to the workingmen is to abstain from strikes for three years ; to organize, and to increase their funds; theu they will be in good position to place their de- mands beiore the employers." GENERAL FIGHT. Dublin, March 20.—There was a gen- eral tight to-day at Sligo between the antis and Parnellites. The police had a hard time breaking up the row. The antis succeeded in holding a meeting after the Parnellites retired. PARNELL LEAVES FOR SLIGO. [Copyright, 1891, by "S*. Y. Associated Press.] London. March 20.—Parnell left Dublin to-night for Sligo, where his candidate, Diilon, is facing increasing odds. The Parnellites hope that this section of the clergy would refrain from interference has been blasted, as the whole of the clergy of the district are becoming active agents in the election. Parnell has prom- * ised 1 to explain his position regarding Healy's challenge on Sunday, but tho Nationalists expect that he will not de- cide whethor to accept it or not, until he has seen the issue ol the Sligo struggle. The Parnellites aro intensely savage over Gladstone's declaration that home rule willbe impossible with Parnell as the Irish leader, and renew tho cry of English dictation. On the other hand, the Nationalists rely upon the declaration as enabling the Irish party to definitely recognize that adhesion to Parnell nieaus a collapse ofthe constitutional movement. THE UTOPIA DISASTER. Gini.Ayr.vK, .March 20. —A sad scene, one of the sequences of the Utopia disas- ter, was witnessed hero to-day. The bod- ies of twenty-eight adults and three chil- dren were interred together in a trench, which had been dug in ground specially blessed for the reception of the remains of the drowned passengers of the sunken steamer at Gibraltar. All tho town of- ficials, officers of the British Channel squadron and the Swedish man-of-war Freys, together with a crowd of people, were present at the interment. Several more bodies have been taken from the wreck. The bodies of many of the drowned were found so firmly clasp- ed together, owing to tho desperate last light tor life, that it was difficult to sep- arate them. At the inquest to-day tho watch officer of the British iron-clad Anson thought the accident was the resnltof negligence on the part ofthe officers of the "ill-fat.\u25a0.>.! Utopia. Captain Clark, of the Anson, thought ihe Utopia ought to have con- tinued on her course, but he would regret to attribute the catastrophe to negligence on the.part .of Captain McKenzie. ile would rather lay it to an error of judg- ment. CHINESE EEPEKS. Six New Cases Discovered In the City of Victoria. Ottawa (( .it.), March 20.—Word has reached here from Victoria of the discov- ery of six new cases of leprosy right in the heart ofthe city, which tho Chinamen were endeavoring to conceal, it appears it became necessary for the municipal au- thorities to drive a large number of Chi- namen out of their hovels, which were erected on ground required for the build- ing of a m-U'k.rt hall. The stampede dis- closed the fact that six Chinese lepers in the worst stages of the disease, havo been dwelling with their countrymen in tho vacated hovels. Two ofthem were sub- sequently found, but four of them are still in hiding and their friends refuse to disclose their place of refuge. Upon hear- i ing Of the tacts Deputy Minister of Agri- culture Love ordered an investigation by the local medical officers aud a medical expert, whom he. dispatched to the Pa- I citic Coast to follow the matter up. The I wont feature of the case is that the Chi* ! naiiien who have been secreting these lepers do washing for the citizens of \ ic- toria, and it is impossible now to Bay to j what extent the disease has been com- municated iv this way among the white i population. Sad Scenes Witnessed at tire Burial of Some oftho Victims. COURSING MATCH. Tho Dors that Are Entered for To- morrow's l.aces. Tho Sacramento Coursing Club met last evening for tho purpose of making final amusements for tho trials which will take place' to-morrow. The meeting was presided over by L. W. Mahoney.

MERCED DELEGATION. Governor Markbam Urged to si«m tbo Road Kin. A delegation of citizens from Merced arrived yesterday and waited on Gov- j : crnor Markham. Tho delegation was appointed by a I mass meeting held recently in -Merced, and instructed to urge the Governor to I sign tho bill recently passed by both ; houses ol" the Legislature, appropriating \ 350,000 for the construction of a road from Mariposa to Vosemite Valley. The dele- I gation consisted of Jndge J. K. Law, ex- Judge CH. Marks, Major (I. B. Cook, Cai.tain W, W. Cray, K. T. Dixon, W. L. Silman. John Olcese, James Leonard, ! Thomas Harris and Rogers of Merced; I and from Marisposa: Maurice Newman, | H. W. Corbett, N. S. Stockton, Captain i A. H. Ward and Hon. James H. Law- rence of Mariposa. The visitors were introduced to Gov- ernor Markham by Senator (toucher and Assemblyman Gould. The Governor Mas brielly addressed by Hon. James 11. Lawrence, Captain A. H. Ward, Judge J. K. Law and N. S. Stockton. They were listened to with respectful attention and treated with distinguished courtesy. AN ENJOYABLE ENTERTAINMENT. Capital City Ih-bekah Degreo Loilso Distinguishes Itself. The youngest Rebekah Degree lodge in the city gave ono of the most entertain- ing parties last evening that has been given in the city. The name of this sis- j ter lodge is Capital City Rebekah Degreo j Lodge, No. 180. The hall was crowded with spectators, and the tableaux were \ grand in their conception and well de- lineated in the manner in which they were put upon the stage. The cornet solo, "I'll Whistle and Wait for Katie," by Mr. Hertzel, was received withraptur- ous applause. The recitation by Mrs. Seadler was delivered in tho usual fin- ished style of the lady. Mrs. Addie Car- ter sang a spring song, which it is claimed, set fn a dream the weather prophet who was present. The grand feature of the evening was the drill by the Mystic Krewe, which was nicely performed by the lady mem- bers, whose costumes glistened with grandeur as the various evolutions were gracefully executed under the direction of J. C. Moore. The party was a success in every par- ticular, and especially in the financial way. The lodge was in debt, but the pro- ceeds of the entertainment will have the effect of leaving a balanco in tho treasury. _». Auction Sales.

The Treasury Department Objects to Their Exportation. DEMANDS OF BANKERS POR AN EX- CHANGE REFUSED. -President Harrison Said to bo Deter- mined That No Discrimination Shall bo Mude Against American Pork by Franco and Germany-The Matter Called to the Attention of the Two Governments by Our Own Foreign Ministers. Special to the Kecorp-Union. Washington, March 20.—Acting Sec- retary Nettleton to-day rejected offers aggregating |850,000 for the exchange for export of gold coin for gold bars. He said his action was in accordance with the policy recently decided upon. -It is contrary to the best interests of the Gov- ernment to relinquish at tho present time for export any considerable part of the most convenient form of our gold supply. He did not regard it as at all probable that gold would be forced to a premium by reason of the present policy against the exportation of the Government's limited supply of gold bars. COIN SIMI'M ...NTS. Nkw YOBK, March 2;).—Superintend- ent Mason received notice from the j Treasury officials this afternoon that two requests fbr gold bars for export had , been refused. When the bankers received [ this news they ordered _7r-0,t)00 in coin at the Su!.-treasury, which will Ire shipped | to-morrow, making the total shipments so far known .51,_7.">,000. NKW Yobk, March 20.—Director of the Mint Edward O. Leech, who is hereon business, said in an interview in regard to tho gold bar subject: "1 did not come with any definite purpose to ask the views of the bankers on the subject at all," he said, "but being here incidentally met bankers and business men witb whom 1 am personally acquainted. I am satisfied that tin* gohl bar policy is a good one and that it will be commended by th*.* people of ihe country anrl by bankers and business men generally." "With whom did you converse about it?" ini....'l'OK leech's views. "With all the leading bank Presidents. Tbe views of tbe leading merchants and hauliers in regard to the policy of the Administration in declining to'furnish shippers of gold with tine gold bars fbr shipment abroad I ascertained incident- ally, ami I have found that the sentiment is universal, that the Government has acted wisely in this decision." In reply to otber inquiries Leech said: "This proposition to decline to exchange gold bars tbr gold coin has been a favor- ite project of mine for some time, indeed ever since 1 have been Director of the Mint. I found on the statute books a law enacted lv 1882 which authorized the superintendents of mines to give gold bars in exchange for gold coin of equal value. "The late Secretary of the Treasury Windom and myself were disposed to be- lieve that tho law intended to give the department discretion, but upon submit- ting the matter to tho Attorney-i'enerai he held that the statute was mandatory, and that we could not decline to exchange gold bars for gold coin, nor could we make any charge for such exchange. "The result was that the Treasury De- partment was utterly helpless In the mat- ter of gold shipments, upon the recom- mendation of the late Secretary and my- self, Congress amended the law at its lust session by making exchange discretion- ary with the Secretary, and allowing the imposition ofa charge equal to the costof manufacturing the bars. "Tuesday last 1 was notiiied by the Su- perintendent of tbe assay oilice in New xork that f1,000,0p0 was wanted in gold bars for shipment. The exchange on that day was only ISSj, showing that the movement was not a genuine exchange movement —that is, that it was more profitable to buy exchange on London than to bodily ship gold at that rate of exchange. "It was what is known as a special shipment, and upon my recommendation and with the concurrence of the Adminis- tration, the Secretary decided to exercise the other alternative allowed by the change in the law, and the Treasury De- partment declined to furnish gold bars in exchange for gold coin for shipment. "The views of the department are sim- ply these: That it is undesirable and against public policy tor the Government to furnish gold in its most convenient form at a seaboard port to shippers of gold, and Aye propose to exercise the discrimination that has been exercised in Hiyopean countries in regard to the ex- port of gold—that is, wo do not mean to facilitate it. "This policy is exercised now not be- cause of any change in the monetary situ- ation of the United States, not becauso there is any deficiency in the gold sup- or and distrust that there may be any de- mand for gold, but solely because the law is now for the tirst time' operative which permits us to exercise this discretion." AMERICAN PORK. It Must Not ho Discriminated Against In Franco and Germany. Washington, March 20.—The decision of the i'resident to assert the rights of our pork and meat-packers to the Ger- man and French markets is in a line with tho policy which has prevailed through- out the Administration. The President has tho power, by the Meat-Inspection Act, to shut out German and French im- ports altogether, and the fact that ho has the power willbe impressed upon Minis- ters Phelps and Beid, with instructions to impress it upon the Foreign Ministers of Germany and V ranee. Both Phelps and Beid have brought the subject of discrimination against Ameri- can moats tothe attention of the German and French Governments, and have re- ceived, some encouraging assurances. They will probably press the subject with fresh energy when they receive .Secretary Blame's new instructions, and they will be able to point out that the objections to American meat products on sanitary grounds have been removed by the pas- sago of the recent Meat-Inspection Act and the Live Stock-Inspection Act of August 30, PSOO. The United Stales has shown its earnestness in the matter by sending agents to Europe under the Live Stock-Inspection Act, and increasing by $150,000 the appropriation for the Bureau of Animal Industry of tho Agricultural Department, t© carry out the provisions of both Acts. The President thinks it is nearly time for Germany to "show her hand" and make it evident whether she has been sincere in excluding American products for sanitary reasons, or whether her real reasons have been of a political nature. It was generaUy believed, when Germany imposed her restrictions, that she did so more for the protection of the German hog than her citizeus, and her action now will put ber sincerity to the test. Clerk Sites Buried. The funeral of Abraham Sites, late clerk of tho Golden Eagle Hotel, took place yesterday. Rev. John F. yon Herr- lich officiated.

Two Masked Men Spirit Him Away and Endeavor to Secure a Ransome. Special to the I.f.coiw-Uxiox. Detroit, Alarch 2d.—Joseph Perrien, proprietor of one the largest flouring mills in Detroit, and a half-millionaire, was called to his door by a stranger last night with a message purporting to come from an intimate friend who was re- ported as ill and desiring Perrien's at- tendance. Perrien left home with the stranger about 10 o'clock, entered tho coupe with him and went away. At 1 o'clock this morning Perrien's door-bell was rung and an envelope thrust in by a young man, who immedi- ately disappeared. The envelope con- tained a cheek for 515.000 on the Penin- sular Bank, of which Perrien is Vice- President and a large stockholder. It was a promissory note for $15,000, payable in five days, and the letter was to Per- rien's nephew, Mr. Hesselbach, advising him to cash the cheek or negotiate the note, or failing either, to raise §15,0C0 on his own property, to be paid as a ransom for Perrien, who was being held by par- ties whom the letter did not disclose. The letter appointed a rendezvous at which the money might bo paid this evening. The police wero immediately put to work on the case, but at 11 o'clock this morning they had no clew either to tho persons who kidnaped Perrien or to his present whereabouts. Perrien is a bachelor, 5S years old, and extensively interested in Detroit indus- tries aiid financial institutions. The let- ter of Hesselbach stated that Perrien had gotten into trouble with a woman and had to pay the money over without a word; but this statemeut is scouted. Both the note and tho check bore Perrien's genuine signature. THE VICTIM FREED. Detroit, March 20.—Joseph Perrien, I wealthy miller, who was kidnaped in nysterious a manner last night, re- nod home about S:_o this evening, safe I sound, but somewhat unnerved by experience. He says that upon en- ng the coupe last night his suspicions re not aroused until he noticed the licle turn in an opposite direction to friend's house. He then threw open door and attempted to jump out. Ile s met by two masked men, who held olvers to his head and forced him k into the cab, they following, hey theu bound,"gagged and blind- led him. the cab keeping on, and •rien was unable to keep any idea of locality in his mind, inally, he was removed to a rpom, ere his captors released him from bis ids, and, covering him with revolvers, _ed him to write the check, promissory c and letters. The latter were dictated in type-written copies in the hands cf captors, who remained masked and errien was not further disturbed until I this afternoon, when his captors in- cued him that "tho game was up," but t "they would get him next time." was then re-bound, gagged and blind- led, and conducted from the room, sir course seemed to lay over a ughed field, after which they entered ab, and another long, round-about ye commenced. .t last Perrien was unloosed and ust from the cab in a dazed condition, 1 before he recovered himself the cab had disappeared. He finally located himself as being at the corner of Myrtle and Thirteenth streets. He boarded a Myrtle-street car and was shortly home. The valuables he had with him were not touched. He was furnished with good food and treated with consideration during his captivity. He story is ac- cepted as reliable, and the police are making every effort to locate the perpe- trators of the "outrage. The Spring Races.

sel Claims that the Law Does Not

Into This Country lv Kow-boats.

Special tothe Record-Unio.-.New York,March 20,—Lawrence Bar-

rett, the tragedian, died this morning at

the Windsor Hotel, of heart failure. Hewas unconscious but a short time beforehi> death.

His wife and Dr. Chambers, of thiscity, were with Mr. Barrett when he |breathed his last. His last sickness datedfrom Wednesday night, when he wasobliged to leave the theater hero where ;he was engaged. It was said at that time \that he was merely suffering from a se- ivere cold, and the same report was madethe following day. Even yesterday thereports from the sick chamber were veryfavorable. This evening Dr. Chamberscalled at the Windsor Hotel at 9 o'clockto see the patient, and, shortly after, an-nounced that he would remain all night.Death occurred at 10:45. Heart failure,th.* physician declared, was the cause ofdeath.

[Mr. Barrett was born in Paterson, N.J., on April 4, lHiis. His first appearanceon the stage was in Detroit iv ISS-. asMurad in "The French Spy." After ayear's experience in minor parts, hespent a short season in Pittsburg. Hethen acted in St. Louis, Chicago and else-where until I_so, when he was engaged atthe Chambers-street Theater. New York,where he appeared in the "Hunchback."Fr* .in thero ho went to Boston. On theoutbreak of the civil war, in 1801, Mr.Barrett accepted a Captaiucy in theTwenty-eighth Massachusetts Infantry.and served with distinction. Afterwardhe returned to tho stage and actedthroughout the principal cities. Heplayed with success in San Francisco in1867, where he remained as manager ofthe California Theater until IS7O, when hewent to New York and appeared withBooth in opposite parts. In 1875 heplayed at Booth's Theater, New York, in"Julius Ca'sar." Later he produced"Yorick's Love" and "Francesca diRimini,'' in both of which he was verysuccessful. He made several visits toEngland, where he also met withsuccess.During the season of 1889 Mr. Barrett\ isited California with Edwin Booth andappeared two nights in this city, at theMetropolitan Theater. —Eds.]

Dr. Chambers says that on WednesdayBarrett had a cold, and when he returnedhome from the theater was seized with asevere chill. The next day symptoms ofpneumonia appeared, and a consultationwas held by Drs. Chambers, Wallker andDr. Oliver of Boston. Mrs. Barrett wasalso summoned. At the consultation the• rise was diagnosed, and a grave phase ofpneumonia and complications made itserious, as for two years Barrett has beena sufferer from throat disease.

Between 5 and 10 this evening thorewas a rapid change for the worse, and\u25a0when the consultation was held the sickman was only semi-conscious. For fif-teen to twenty minutes before he died hewas wholly unconscious.

Barrett has two daughters, now inEurope. The funeral willprobably takeplace in Boston.

Edwin Boolh was at the Players' Clubin bed when notified of the death. Hewas deeply affected.

RECONCILED.

The American Association Returns tothe Fold.

New York,March 20.—The followingwas printed here this morning: TheAmerican Association and NationalLeague arc reconciled. The Associationhas agreed to come back under the pro-tection of the national agreement. Tliesefacts were discovered late yesterda}'. Theimmediate cause of their disclosure was adispatch received by the director of theNew York Club, staling that AllenThur-man had resigned the chairmanship ofthe National Board, and that Nick Younghad been elected in his place. It devel-opes last evening that Thurman's retire-ment had been planned some time ago.Byrne. Doyle and Abell, of the BrooklynClub, have been particularly active ineffecting a reconciliation. The Associa-tionpeople refused to treat withThunnan,which is the cause of his retirement.What made tho League folks particularlyanxious for a reconciliation with the As-nociation was the discovery that Leaguecomplications were sure to result in Cin-cinnati. The League meu discovered thatJohnson does not control as much stockin the Cincinnati Club as they thought hedid. Ho only controls it with the assist-ance of the Boston. Chicago and Phila-delphia contingents.

NKW POINT RAISED.

Doc- the Law Prohibit Chinese Com-ine by Row Boat rr"

L'tica (N. V.l, March 20.—1n the trialof James A. Miller, alias James Mul-doon. for smuggling Chinamen into thiscountry, is now Inprogress before I'nitedStates District Judge Coxe, of this city,attorney DeAngelis, who was assignedto defend the prisoner, raised an inter-esting point to-day. The Chinamen cameto this country by rowboat across theNiagara river. "The statute provides thatit is a misdemeanor to aid or abet aChinese person to enter the I'nited Statesby land, or to aid or abet any such to laudfrom a vessel.

De Angelis argued, and the Govern-ment admitted, that a rowboat was not avessel within the meaning of the statute.De Angelis argued that the coming by arowiioat could not be construed to meancoming by land.

The effect of this construction of thestatute would enable Chinamen to cometo this country by rowboats.

The court held "for the present he wouldhold the statute broad enough to covercoming to this country by whatevermeans., and promised to give the questionfurther consideration, and change hisruling ifwrong.

FREE COINAGE.

Senator Cary of Wyoming Expressesnis Views on the Question.

New York, March 20th.—Senator Caryof Wyoming is spending a few days in

this city on his way home from Washing-ton "The so-called free-coinage craze in

the West has been very largely exagger-ated," said the Senator. "The great massof the clear-headed and conservative ele-ment is infavor of giving the present lawa thorough trial, believing that it willmeet fully the business requirements ofthe country. The Western people do notbelieve the Government may place itsstamp upon a piece of metal and make itworth its face value. The thoughtfulbusinessman believed in sound moneyas much as his brother in the East; onlythe West believes in the larger circulat-

ing medium. The talk of some Repub-lican silver Senators about their constitu-ents wanting to form an alliance with theSouth in order to secure free coinage isidle. The people West know it is to theNorthwest that they have to look whenthey need financial aid. I think Presi-dent Harrison willbe renominated. Noman unsound on the money question hasbeen elected President, or ever willbe.General Harrison's financial views are agreat source of strength."

Special to the Bkcord-Union.

New York, March 20.—Cooper Unionwas packed with r.,000 Italians of NewYork and vicinity to-niglit, called to-gether to denounce last Saturday's tragedyin New Orleans, and outside, notwith-standing a drizzling rain, more than asmany more were unable to gain entranceto the hall. Shortly before 0 o'clock acrash outside was heard, the doors brokedown, and a number of persons were in-jured in the rush. One hundred andfiftypolicemen were kept busy.

The presiding officer was A. Do Angelo.The speeches were nearly all in Italian,and the denunciations ofthe New (Meanstragedy almost terrifying in their vehem-ence. To nacify the crowd without, itwaa addressed from the balcony by anumber of speakers.

When President DoAngolo stepped tothe front of the platform and rapped fororder, then; was a lull in the noise of tin*hall, liesaid, quietlyand impressively,"Italians." Then a roar of "Bravo!"burst from thousands of Italian throats.The applause was resistless in its vehe-mence for fully five minutes, and soilwas through tlie meeting. Every manwas excited to the highest pitch. But aword seemed necessary to transform

iminto a throng of demons. Thecom-

ttee in charge seemed to realize this,I took every precaution to avert any<ear the close of the meeting, when theolutions were being read, several pr-ism different parts ofthe hall aroseI asked to be allowed to speak. These[nests were refused by toe Chairman.c men who wanted to speak then ap»ded to their fellows, asking il ihey

Dr. Asetta, iuj his speech, said themassacre was a deed not done by theAmerican people, but by villains."

Rome, March 20.—It is semi-officiallydenied that sealed orders were sent to theItalian squadron in consequence of thelynching of the eleven Italian prisonersat New Orleans on Saturday last.

MEF.TINIi AT PITTSBURG.Pittseuro, March 20.—A general mass

meeting of Italian residents in this citywas held at Turner Hall to-night. Thoplace holds 3.000 people and was crowdedto the doors. Several representativemerchants addressed the crowd inbothItalian aud American, and their remarkswere evenly tempered, but severe in de-nunciation of the action of the New Or-

The speakers counseled quiet and ob-servance of the laws of their adoptedcountry by all means, but it was_ notedthat a resolution fiercely condemning the"murderers of our New Orleans broth-ers," etc., and asking the United StatesGovernment to punish the "perpetratorsof the outrage" were carried with a vehe-mence that waa unanimous.

Special to the Uecoud-Union.London. March 20.—The rail Mall Ga-

zette to-day gives groat prominence to acommunication from a gentleman whooccupies a position of influence in New-foundland, and who is now in this city.In this communication the Newfound-lander declares that any attempt on thopart of the Imperial Government to en-force the maritime law in Newfoundlandwill bo resisted, adding, "'The Toriescannot come the Trafalgar-square busi-ness overus." At the conclusion of along leading editorial upon the subject,the Pall Mall Gazette says tliat unlesssomething is done to bring about rap-prochement beween the colonies and theColonial oilice, we may find tho New-foundland kettle of fish go the way ofthe Boston packets of ten.

London, Manh 20.—In the Commonsto-day a dispatch from St. Johns, X. F..was read. It transmits to the ImperialGovernment resolutions adopted by theColonial Legislative, requesting Englandto delay any coercive legislation until thecolony had been heard in its defense.

Lord Knutatbrd's bill revives theCrown's authority to instruct naval offi-cers to enforce the treaties of I'trecht,Versailles and Paris, securing lishingrights to France. T h<* clause providesthat ifthe Colonial Legislature suppliesthe necessary powers to secure the per-formance of treaties upon the interna-tional arrangement before the bill ispassed the bill willbe suspended.

A CRAVE (ji'ESTION.

[Copyrighted, 1891,hy N. Y.Associated Press.]LONDON, March 20. —The gravity oftho

Newfoundland question ionly begins todawn uioii the country. In yesterdayevening's debate in the House of Lordsthe leaders, on both sides avoided, as faras possible, touching the probable com-

jplications endangering the peace oftheempire, yet could not avoid impartingtho impression that developments arelikely which may give rise to serioustroble. Lord Salisbury, in the gravest ofministerial deliverances, weighing everyword with care, admitted that it was dif-ficult to look without grave apprehensionto the future, in view of the strong feel-ing in France against the slightest relax-tion of even the most extreme and un-reasonable ol her claims.

Lord Salisbury refrained from disclos-ing what inducements would Ik* offeredto France to consent to an arrangementsatisfactory to Newfoundland. He wasequally reticent on the question whetherarmed coercion would be used to enforcethe Knutsford bill. The island, he saidhas been the sport of historic misfortune.Itwas an Illustration of the continuity ofhistory.

These phrases recall tho speeches onthe same sido which have preluded theworst forms of Irish oppression. Thedebate has profoundly agiuited the mem-bers of the Commons. The tenor of thecommunications exchanged to-day bytho leading Liberals points to strenuousopposition on behalf of the Newfound-land Government, and had Hennessymade his threatened motion to adjourn,to challenge the Government policy, hewould have had a following sufficientlystrong to show the Government's opinionof Parliament setting against the bill astoo stringent a measure.

Hennessy was induced to defer his mo-tion until Smith makes his promisedStatement on Monday.

The lobby forecasts to-night agree thatthe Government will pause until tiiedelegates coming from Newfoundlandhave hrrd a chance to be heard.

Lord lvnutsford's bill revives theCrown's authority to instruct the navalofficers t.> enforce the treaties of I treeht,Versailles and Paris, securing the fishingrights to France. The bill provides forits own suspension, ifthe NewfoundlandLegislature passed measures necessary tosecure a modus Vivendi. The Liberalswilladvise the delegates to accede to this,

I promising to support the colony in de-manding that the lmal _eUlemeut shouldinclude a withdrawal ofthe French fromthe Newfoundland coast.

IThe Spt'iikci „in its issue to-morrow,ill rellcci general feeling in saying itQuid relieve bushels of embarrassment

the Newfoundlanders shipped theirovernor aboard a mailboat and hauled>wn the union jack. If they did thisicy would likely tind the people of themted States pause before accepting asi audition to the republic a burdenith the hostility of France.

IRELAND'S CAUSE.avitt Refers Contemptuously to Par-

noll"*. Talk ol" lteslKiiliip:.

London, March 20.—Michael Davitt, inan interview with the Associated Presscorrespondent to-day, contemptuouslyreferrs to what he classes Parnell's blulf.Davitt said he did not intend to be a can-didate for election in the division of CorkCity, which Parnell now represents.

Davitt added, that two reasons causedbim to make this decision. "The lirst,"said he, "is that Parnell willnot resign,for he knows that if he does resign hev. ill be beaten, should he come forwardfor election. The second reason is, that Iam not anxious to enter Parliament now,or in the future, though I am unwillingto bind myself to remain in this frameof mind for all time. The Parneliites ar-ranged a meeting at Cork for St. Patrick's

1 lay, when, according to custom, all socie-ties marched through the streets. Par-nell, seeing a great stir, was induced toissue his challenge to Heaiy. He is nowanxious to back out."

Referring to Parnell's delegation to theUnited States, Davitt said : "The gentle-men composing Mr. Parnell's deputationto the United States estimate that 'JO percent, of the Irish-Americans are support-ing Parnell. This is a great exaggeration;the number should be nearer "_ per cent.By far the greatest numlier ofIrishmenin England are against Parnell. My ad-vice to the workingmen is to abstainfrom strikes for three years ; to organize,and to increase their funds; theu theywillbe in good position to place their de-mands beiore the employers."

GENERAL FIGHT.Dublin, March 20.—There was a gen-

eral tight to-day at Sligo between theantis and Parnellites. The police had ahard time breaking up the row. Theantis succeeded in holding a meetingafter the Parnellites retired.

PARNELL LEAVES FOR SLIGO.[Copyright, 1891, by "S*. Y. Associated Press.]

London. March 20.—Parnell left Dublinto-night for Sligo, where his candidate,Diilon, is facing increasing odds. TheParnellites hope that this section of theclergy would refrain from interferencehas been blasted, as the whole of theclergy of the district are becoming activeagents inthe election. Parnell has prom-

*ised 1 to explain his position regardingHealy's challenge on Sunday, but thoNationalists expect that he willnot de-cide whethor to accept it or not, until hehas seen the issue ol the Sligo struggle.

The Parnellites aro intensely savageover Gladstone's declaration that homerule willbe impossible with Parnell asthe Irish leader, and renew tho cry ofEnglish dictation.

THE UTOPIA DISASTER.

Gini.Ayr.vK, .March 20.—A sad scene,one of the sequences of the Utopia disas-ter, was witnessed hero to-day. The bod-ies of twenty-eight adults and three chil-dren were interred together in a trench,which had been dug in ground speciallyblessed for the reception of the remainsof the drowned passengers of the sunkensteamer at Gibraltar. All tho town of-ficials, officers of the British Channelsquadron and the Swedish man-of-warFreys, together with a crowd of people,were present at the interment.

Several more bodies have been takenfrom the wreck. The bodies of many ofthe drowned were found so firmly clasp-ed together, owing to tho desperate lastlight tor life, that it was difficult to sep-arate them.

Captain Clark, of the Anson,thought ihe Utopia ought to have con-tinued on her course, but he would regretto attribute the catastrophe to negligenceon the.part .of Captain McKenzie. ilewould rather lay it to an error of judg-ment.

The stampede dis-closed the fact that six Chinese lepers inthe worst stages of the disease, havo beendwelling with their countrymen in thovacated hovels. Two ofthem were sub-sequently found, but four of them arestill in hiding and their friends refuse todisclose their place ofrefuge. Upon hear-

i ing Ofthe tacts Deputy Minister of Agri-culture Love ordered an investigation bythe local medical officers aud a medicalexpert, whom he. dispatched to the Pa-

I citic Coast to followthe matter up. TheI wont feature of the case is that the Chi*! naiiien who have been secreting these

lepers do washing for the citizens of \ ic-toria, and it is impossible now to Bay to

j what extent the disease has been com-municated iv this way among the white

GOLD BARS.

The Treasury Department Objects

to Their Exportation.

DEMANDS OF BANKERS POR AN EX-CHANGE REFUSED.

-President Harrison Said to bo Deter-

mined That No Discrimination Shall

bo Mude Against American Pork by

Franco and Germany-The Matter

Called to the Attention of the Two

Governments by Our Own Foreign

Ministers.

Special to the Kecorp-Union.

Washington, March 20.—Acting Sec-retary Nettleton to-day rejected offersaggregating |850,000 for the exchange forexport of gold coin for gold bars. Hesaid his action was in accordance withthe policy recently decided upon. -It iscontrary to the best interests of the Gov-ernment to relinquish at tho present timefor export any considerable part of themost convenient form ofour gold supply.He did not regard it as at all probablethat gold would be forced to a premiumby reason of the present policy againstthe exportation of the Government'slimited supply of gold bars.

COIN SIMI'M ...NTS.

Nkw YOBK, March 2;).—Superintend-ent Mason received notice from the

j Treasury officials this afternoon that tworequests fbr gold bars for export had, been refused. When the bankers received

[ this news they ordered _7r-0,t)00 in coin atthe Su!.-treasury, which will Ire shipped

| to-morrow, making the total shipmentsso far known .51,_7.">,000.

NKW Yobk, March 20.—Director of theMint Edward O. Leech, who is hereonbusiness, said in an interview in regardto tho gold bar subject: "1 did not comewith any definite purpose to ask theviews of the bankers on the subject atall," he said, "but being here incidentallymet bankers and business men witbwhom 1 am personally acquainted. Iam satisfied that tin*gohl bar policy is agood one and that it willbe commendedby th*.* people of ihe country anrl bybankers and business men generally."

"With whom did you converse aboutit?"

ini....'l'OK leech's views.

"With all the leading bank Presidents.Tbe views oftbe leading merchants andhauliers in regard to the policy of theAdministration in declining to'furnishshippers of gold with tine gold bars fbrshipment abroad I ascertained incident-ally, ami I have found that the sentimentis universal, that the Government hasacted wisely in this decision."

Inreply to otber inquiries Leech said:"This proposition to decline to exchangegold bars tbr gold coin has been a favor-ite project of mine for some time, indeedever since 1 have been Director of theMint. I found on the statute books alaw enacted lv 1882 which authorizedthe superintendents of mines to givegold bars in exchange for gold coin ofequal value.

"The late Secretary of the TreasuryWindom and myself were disposed to be-lieve that tho law intended to give thedepartment discretion, but upon submit-ting the matter to tho Attorney-i'eneraihe held that the statute was mandatory,and that we could not decline to exchangegold bars for gold coin, nor could wemake any charge for such exchange.

"The result was that the Treasury De-partment was utterly helpless In the mat-ter ofgold shipments, upon the recom-mendation of the late Secretary and my-self, Congress amended the law at its lustsession by making exchange discretion-ary with the Secretary, and allowing theimposition ofa charge equal to the costofmanufacturing the bars.

"Tuesday last 1 was notiiied by the Su-perintendent of tbe assay oilice in Newxork that f1,000,0p0 was wanted in goldbars for shipment. The exchange onthat day was only ISSj, showing that themovement was not a genuine exchangemovement —that is, that it was moreprofitable to buy exchange on Londonthan to bodily ship gold at that rate ofexchange.

"It was what is known as a specialshipment, and upon my recommendationand with the concurrence of the Adminis-tration, the Secretary decided to exercisethe other alternative allowed by thechange in the law, and the Treasury De-partment declined to furnish gold barsin exchange for gold coin for shipment.

"The views of the department are sim-ply these: That it is undesirable andagainst public policy tor the Governmentto furnish gold in its most convenientform at a seaboard port to shippers ofgold, and Aye propose to exercise thediscrimination that has been exercised inHiyopean countries in regard to the ex-port ofgold—that is, wo do not mean tofacilitate it.

"This policy is exercised now not be-cause ofany change in the monetary situ-ation of the United States, not becausothere is any deficiency in the gold sup-or and distrust that there may be any de-mand for gold, but solely because the lawis now for the tirst time' operative whichpermits us to exercise this discretion."

AMERICAN PORK.

It Must Not ho Discriminated AgainstIn Franco and Germany.

Washington, March 20.—The decisionof the i'resident to assert the rights ofour pork and meat-packers to the Ger-man and French markets is in a line withtho policy which has prevailed through-out the Administration. The Presidenthas tho power, by the Meat-InspectionAct, to shut out German and French im-ports altogether, and the fact that ho hasthe power willbe impressed upon Minis-ters Phelps and Beid, with instructionsto impress it upon the Foreign Ministersof Germany and Vranee.

Both Phelps and Beid have brought thesubject of discrimination against Ameri-can moats tothe attention of the Germanand French Governments, and have re-ceived, some encouraging assurances.They willprobably press the subject withfresh energy when they receive .SecretaryBlame's new instructions, and they willbe able to point out that the objections toAmerican meat products on sanitarygrounds have been removed by the pas-sago of the recent Meat-Inspection Actand the Live Stock-Inspection Act ofAugust 30, PSOO. The United Stales hasshown its earnestness in the matter bysending agents to Europe under the LiveStock-Inspection Act, and increasing by$150,000 the appropriation for the BureauofAnimal Industry of tho AgriculturalDepartment, t© carry out the provisionsof both Acts.

The President thinks it is nearly timefor Germany to "show her hand" andmake it evident whether she has beensincere in excluding American productsfor sanitary reasons, or whether her realreasons have been of a political nature.Itwas generaUy believed, when Germanyimposed her restrictions, that she did somore for the protection of the Germanhog than her citizeus, and her action nowwillput ber sincerity to the test.
