Rctaliatory Measures Talked OF.
WASHINGTON, April 9.

hASHlNGION, April y.
Recent dispatches from our Consuls in
dictate that there is growing apprehension in
several European countries of retaliatory
legislation on the part of the United States
on account of the opposition to American
pork. 1t is the impression at the State De-
partment that the President will recommend
retaliatory measures to Congress The State
Department officials are said to be now en-
gagged in considering whether anything
could be done, in the absence of legislation
to rebuke countries which are making dis
examinations against. the United States, but
doubtless nothing will be done until Con-
gress meets. A number of countries now
levy export duties, which are at times con
sidered Determinations. Among them are
Austria, France, Italy. Spain, Russia, Tur-
key, Norway, Mexico, Japan, Morocco, the
Argentine Republic. Peru. Guatemala, and
Hsyti. Special export taxes are also levied
in some British colonies, and the system
obtains in the British East Indies and in
Cuba and Porto Rico. The export duties in
Cuba are particularly hostile to the United
States.

been made of plots and dynamite facto-
ries during the week, but 1 have the best au-
thority for saying that great uneasiness is
tant facts are known that for the present are
OF a necessity kept a secret from the
world without. 1t is certain that a wide
spread organization for the destruction Of
public buildings exists, and that as yet only
its subordinate agents have been arrested or
tracked, and the Government officials are
aware of the existence in London and the
other cities of the Kingdom of large masses
OF explosives, all definite traces of which.
however, they have temporarily lost. Every
approach to London is guarded, and even
the luggage of passengers upon the railway
trains is examined quietly i'll the guards

Is felt here at the fact that all these opera
tons are carried on by means of money
which is openly collected III the United
States for the purpose and RENTED by the
well-known agents Of the dynamite party i'll
New York. That these agents should be
allowed to pursue their operations without
let or hindrance by the American Govern
ment is regarded as al mfriendlv act, which
the United States would not tolerate in its
own case from another nation. / have rea-
son to believe that this sentiment will, in all
likelihood, find a vigorous expression this

How Dick Got His Promotion.

A Sergeant of infantry, whom | shall
call Dick Cover, commanded his COM
pany in a great many battles in the
West in the early days of the war. His
company officers had all been killed,
but right royalty did Dick handle
his men. His discipline was perfcct;
his bravery not only made him a hero
among his men, but excited the atten-
ton Of all the officers. At the first lull
in the campaign the officers of his regi-
ment, of his brigade, and of his division
united in recommending him for a lieu
tenancy in the regular army. The
commanding officer joined in the rec
ommendation. Mr.. Lincoln ordered
the appointment. Forthwith Sergeant
Dick was ordered before an examining
board here in Washington, for the reg
ular army officers were tenacious Of
what they thought their superiority.
Dick presented himself in a soiled and
faded S%ergeant's uniform. his face and
hands bronzed and cracked bv the
winds and suns of a hot campaign.
The curled darlings of Washington
society. the perfumed graduates of
West Point, who had never seen a
squadron set in the field, conducted the
examination to ascertain if Dick was
TIT to be an officer in the regular army.
They asked him questions as to engineer
ing, mathematics, philosophy and ord
nance, of harbor warfare. Of field cam
paigns, and all such stuff. Not a single
question could Dick answer. ..What
is an echclon?:" was asked. Il don't
Know" answered Dick; II never saw
one" ''What is an abattis:?" was the
next question. Dick answered.: "You've
got me again. We haven't got 'em in
the West "Well, what is a hollow
squarc?' continued his tormentors.
Don't know" said Dick, sorrowfullv;
81 never heard of one.n s.Well..''
finally said a young snip, in eyeglasses,
"what would you do in command of a
company if the cavalry should charge
on .you?' They had at last got down
to Dicks comprehension, and he an
swered with a resolute face and a flash
ing eye: ed give them thunder, that's
what Id do, and I'd make a hollow
square in every mothers son of them.n
A few more technical questions were
asked, but poor Dick was not able to
answer them, and the examination
olo9cCo' Inc report was duly sent to
the Secretary Of War, who submitted it
to Mr.. Lincoln, saying that evidently
DICK would not do for an officer. Mr..
Lincoln went through the report and
found that Dick had not answered y
single question, but he came to where
DICK said what he would do if attacked
by cavalry, and then he did what SEN
slble Abe Lincoln did in all such mat
tiers, he threw the report on his table
and made a little memorandum in pcn-
Gil ordering the Secretary of War to
appoint Dick Cover a Licutenant in
the regular army. Dick achieved dis.
t'hcllch af'erward, and was everywhere
known IN the army as a man without
