GENEROUS WADE HAMPTON
Starts Little Presidential Boom for
Bayard.

starts q Little Presidential Boom for
Bayard.
Ex-Governor Wade Hampton is out in
an interview in which he says the South
would like to see Mr.. Bayard nominated,
because We think he could carry some Of
the doubtful States. Mr.. Bayard is per-
fectly in accord with the financial theories
of the East and North, and there is grow
ing feeling all over the country that he
would be a safe man to nominate. He is 30
free from political machinery that it may
be difficult TO nominate him, but he would
be splendid man for the people. But the
next convention ought to let the doubtful
States settle upon the man. A caucus OF
the delegates from New York, New Jersey,
and Connecticut and Ohio, Indiana and
California -shauld be. allowed 70 sal iHhst
men &-Wodtd Be most likely to carry the
greatest number of them for the Democ-
racy. The convention would not be wrong
if they nominated such man, wherever
he came FROM"
In answer to the question as to whether
Mr.. Bayard was not Southern man and
had not made q disloyal speech ih ante
bellum days he said: ~ don't regard Deia'
ware as part of the South. That speech
was a brave, good speech, made in great
effort to prevent a bloody war. l would
rot be afraid to 60 before the country with
it. There is nothing disloyal anywhere
in it,

Mr.. Tsao IN, the Minister, is most de-

who knows the whole English language,

door, saw printed yellow slip which had
been left by the gas man lying in the YES
tibule. Now, yellow pap+r in China sisni-

son; so Mr.. Tsao, in much agitation, sent
for the interpreter. The interpreter had
gone oil to the Theatre ComiqUe, aud so
the legation was lett 10 wrcstle with the
gas bill alone. The whole suite was sum-
moned, srd it was Concluded that the
President was defunct aud this was the

The Senate resumed the consideration OF
the bill authorizing the construction OF

in the debate. The latter was in favor OF
making liberal appropriation for

which Refers TO the American HOG
BismareR's Mortal Foe.
Commissioner Loring's report on the
American hog, called for by the exclusion
Of our pork from foreign markets, goes into
the whole subject of pork raising, curing
and packing as practiced in the United
States. 1t embraces the origin and history
of hogs which make up the market supply,
their condition on farms, the method OF
management, transportation, treatment at
stockyards, manner of slsughtering, cur
ing, packing, handling, and shipping OF
pork products, the effect and extent OF hog
disssse, necessary preventative measures,
and the effect of the curing process on tri-
ching. The methods Of breeding and rear
ing and fssteuing OF swine in the great hog
producing regions srs elaboratsly set forth,
and the report is emphatic that there ls no
condition surrounding the industry which
tends to propagate disease or render
pork unaesithful. Il tinds the number
~ hogs raised annually 70 be ABOUT 50,

hibit the contracts now existing between

these contracts are part Of the private bus
mess of the company, and, as he claims,
the information sought is for outside pur-

answer in that direction. His counsel,
who has attended him during his examjna-

issue upon the righs OF the committee to
demand the information sought, and as the
committee seems sure OF their authority to
secure it. it is not likely it will give up

presence of trichine is comparatively un-
important. In conclusion the report says:
while we believe that no legitimate

ton Of American pork, We &c satisfied
that microscopic inspection of all PORK for
