FOSTER, Minister.
WASHINGTON. d. C., March 16. 1881.
To Noyes, United States Minister, Paris:
sIR-Your course respecting the pork decree of
the French Government Is approved. The state
ment of Crump, acting British Cousul at Phila
delphia, occasloned excitement and widespread
the British legation and Boards OF Trade. Hog
cholera is conf0unded with trichinoSis. which Is
an entirely distinct disease. But the
very greatly exaggerated. The most searching
investigation fails 10 show any basis for the pub
lished statements. The mortality among the very
young swine from cholera has been less this year
than for several years past, and the condition of
fullgrOwn hogs, which are alone used for packing
and export, Is this year exceptionally good. The
British Representative at Philadelphia has appar-
emily been mSled by designing speculators to the
great injury Of Legitimate trade.
Deny In the strongest terms the report OF the
British Consul should the French Ministers ap-
peal to 1t as justifying them in interdctng or re-
strictlng the American pork trade.
Instructions will follow.
BLAINE, Secretary.
AN EXTRA SESSION.
Democratic Senator asked the President
to-day II there would be an extra session of Con.
gress. The President did not answer positively,
but the Senator says he intimated in language not
called. The President also gave Sunset Cox to
understand that the calling of an extra session
has been determined upon. The Republican
Senators have all agreed to-day that session must
be called, and several of them said the proclama
ton will be issued Wednesday. The best in
formed say Congress will be convened in May, so
give time for special elections fill vacancies
in Maine and New York. Morton, il is under
Stood will not go to France until after the extra
session meets. This would leave only Fernando
Woods vacancy TO be filled i'm New York. The
report reached the Democratic leaders that
| Cornell would not call the election this spring.
1 Tins plppfiOn a DQmOpraf i'm
Woods place. The Democrats communicate
with Governor Plaisted, of Maine, and it is re-
ported he has assured them that he will not order
| an election 10 fill Frye's place, until one Is
ordered i'm New York TO fill Woods.
The Democratic Senators say there's never been
any difference of opinion In their caucuses on the
question OF resisting change OF Senate officers
that the only differences were as 10 the plan of
pTSn,esedure- They are apparently Determined TO
| hllibuS.er against any change. Two Republican
| Senators are absent and Anthony is confined to
| his room with severe attack of rheumatism, re-
l dneing the vote OF that side to thi1ty;hve three
| called. however indications are that the Demo
Gratis will then submit to the new officers.
ANOTHER CROOKED ST. LOUIS NOTARY.
Secretary Baine makes public communica
tion from the Bank Of England concerning the
relative to unclaime: dividends, i'm which he re.
fers, rs 10 integrity. etc. b. permission, TO the
Bank OF England The letter states the Notary Il
bank as reference and adds: From the ~ term. 1ns
OF the notice which was received, from, appa
rently, q poor woman In Cornell County Living
stone, Ill, it would seem these notices are beine
extensively circulated in the United states The
SuppOsitiOn is confirmed by the marked increase
in the previously large number Of groundless
applications for unclaimed moneys received by
the Bank from the United states Nearly the
whole of these applications are far as the banl
is concerned, based on erroneous data, obtained
probably from the very old lists of unclaimed
dividends, which referred to funds long since re
claimed. or from advertisements that appear
when reclaims are made"
THE DEMOCRATS WILL FIGHT.
WASHINGTON, March 1S-The Democratic Sen
atOrs have determined to resist any aud all at
tempts OF the Republicans TO put in new officers

but will be at a caucus on Monday morning. Tn
Democratic Senators who opposed fillibusterin
have been Orerruled- The ground OF resistance
, VIII be that the present employees of the Senat
believed all along that the Democrats had a ma
jority. and that many of them live in distan
States. but none have prepared for so sudden
dismissal. The Democrats will fight to postpon
the change OF officers until December. The Re
publicans know of this determination and expec
a stubborn contest David Davis will not fillbus
ter, but the thirty-seven Democrats can, by dill
. atory motions and consuMing the time witt
, | speeches, make a stand Tor few days. The Re
publicans have not yet considered the election O
officers, but will probably do so on Monday.
The senate confirmed John w. Powell, of II
linOis as Director of the United States Geological
Survey. vice Clarence King, resigned: Herman
Barber, Jr., as Receiver OF Public Moneys a
: Mltcnells DAKOTA; George W. Jones, OF Ohio, a
Assistant PaymSster in the Navy.
